8:36 A.M.

Will was unable to control his excitement. After a constructive national title win, Glee Club was back on top. Bullying has changed, and opinions have differed. With all the glee club members officially gone off to star in musicals, tv shows, and movies. Will needed to get a new batch of singers that have as much talent as the original members did. It was time for an open call audition.


Nathan Markus, 15

9:35 A.M.

As an openly gay student Nathan was heavily picked on. But he stayed strong, more often than others would. Luckily he never had a slushie facial, and besides he didn't want to push himself out there when talking back to bullies. From a young age Nathan has always had a passion for art. But his favorite form of art was music.

"Auditions for the New Directions!" The colorful sign up sheet read with bold fonts.

"Maybe I should sign up?" Nathan thought as he tapped his pencil on the almost filled sign up sheet. He was a cheerio after all, and Sue opinion on the cluv hasn't change as drastically as Will hoped. That's when he noticed someone's name, Evan Johnson. Evan has always been Nathan's high school crush, and so were a lot of people. Why would Evan audition for Glee Club? He had everything that Nathan did not. Maybe he wanted to do something for a change? Nonetheless Nathan signed his name and walked into the auditorium.

Mr. Schuester was sitting at a table in the middle of the auditorium writing down some notes as another student was singing. Nathan watched from the backstage tv through as the stage crew helped him get ready.

"Hey Nathan, you're up." One of the students helping backstage came up and told Nathan.

Nathan took a deep breath, he was going to sing a song that represented him. A song that represented a lot of people in his community. As he walked onto the stage, everyone who was going to audition, including Evan, were staring up at Nathan as he walked onto the stage.

"Hi I'm Nathan Markus, and I'll be singing Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked." Nathan calmly says as he grips onto the microphone.

"Alright let's see what you got." Will would comment through his microphone as the music plays.

"Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules

Of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes and leap!

It's time to try defying gravity

I think I'll try defying gravity

And you can't pull me down

Tell them how I am defying gravity!

I'm flying high, defying gravity!

And soon, I'll match them in renown

And nobody in all of Oz

No wizard that there is or was

Is ever gonna bring me down!

Bring me down!

Oh!"

As Nathan finishes, he is breathless. Taking some deep breaths as he smiles at Will.

"Thank you Nathan." Mr. Schuester said with a smile as he finishes writing down his notes.

Nathan nodded as he left the auditorium, hopefully he will be a member of the New Directions
