PLEASE READ!
Hey everybody,
Here is the next chapter. I'm happy that I have been doing an update everyday but I just wanted to warn you guys that when school starts again that might not be the case anymore until exams are over :( But I will try my hardest to get new chapters up as fast as I can.
This chapter has Finn's and Kyle P.O.V but it starts with Finn's. I wanted to know if you guys would rather I have a P.O.V. where you know what everyone is thinking rather than just one person at a time. Personaly I find it less complicated like this but I'm willing to switch if you guys want.
Special thanks to 'gleepotter' for suggesting a song that gave me a really good idea.
Also, I can't thank you guys enough for the reviews. I wasn't expecting this many and i'm seriously walking on air. Thank you all so much :)
So that's about it, please REVIEW and obviously...
Enjoy!
Audition
Finn P.O.V.
Finn Hudson hasn't been having a very good day, or week for that matter. His whole Christmas vacation involved a lot of crying, yes crying, call of duty, and Kurt. Finn was a little angry at his new brother for developing this new 'friendship' thing with Rachel right around the time where they broke up. But Kurt's really easy to talk to, he listens and doesn't give much of his opinion which is perfectly fine with Finn. He doesn't want anyone's opinion, he's hurt, and nothing anyone says can change that.
After he saw Rachel in the hall this morning, he actually had to go to the boys bathroom to calm down because there was no way he was going to start crying in school. He'd seen Rachel in a few of his classes during the day but it's easier to ignore her when you're supposed to be paying attention to the class.
He's on his way to glee now and he's not even excited about it. What is there to be excited about anyway? He thinks. Their probably not going to be singing today. He makes it there and sit's down in an empty seat in the middle row. He looks around the room, Mercedes, Mike and Tina are sitting about two chairs away from him in the same row. Santana and Puck are seated right behind where he's sitting so their in the back row. Next to them is Quinn and Sam. Artie is seated in the front row, obviously, with Brittany on his lap. Lauren, glee's newest member, is seated next to them.
Finn looks around the room, Where's Rachel? He asks himself just as Mr. Shue walks in.
"Hey guys, I hope you all had a great Christmas break," he pauses so people could respond but this always confuses Finn. Why wait for people to respond if you didn't ask a question? "I came up with some great ideas for-Wait, where's Rachel?" Mr. Shue pauses again, see that's a question Finn thinks as Tina speaks.
"Rachel said she'd be a little late, she said she had a surprise for us."
"Maybe she's finally moving to Israel," Santana says under her breath although loud enough for the room to hear. She then reaches over Puck to high five Quinn.
"Santana, we'll have none of that," Mr. Shue warns and Santana just turns away and starts picking at her nails. Mr. Shue turns to Tina again.
"Did she say when she'd be ba-"
"Hello fellow glee clubbers," Rachel says happily as she walks in. How can she be so…not sad? Finn asks himself. Wait, who's that? There is someone beside Rachel, who walked in with her. "This is Kyle Witmen and he would like to audition for glee club." Kyle smiles and waves to the class.
Just then, Lauren stands up from her chair, "alright you guys have a new member, I'm out." And she leaves before Mr. Shue can try and convince her to stay. Finn doesn't really mind though, he never really liked her anyway.
Mr. Shue sighs, but then smiles at Kyle, "You're the new student," Kyle nods, "well let's see what you got." Mr. Shue then grabs a chair and sits down.
Rachel gives Kyle a thumbs up and goes to sit down in the front row.
Kyle goes to tell the band what song he's playing and then goes back to his spot.
"Ummm…This is my workout song so I picked it on short notice because I know the words. As for the dance moves, I'm just gonna wing it." The band starts playing the music and Finn immediately recognizes the song as 'Magic' by B.O.B.
I've got the magic in me
Every time I touch that track it turns into gold
Everybody knows I've got the magic in me
When I hit the floor the girls come snappin' at me
Now everybody wants some presto magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
I've got the magic in me!
These tricks that I'll attempt will blow your mind
Pick a verse, any verse, I'll hypnotize you with every line
I'll need a volunteer, how about you, with the eyes?
Finn's shock matches the one on everyone's face, not only is Kyle rapping, but he's rapping perfectly, no mistakes, no stumbles. When they rap, it takes him, Puck and Artie a lot of practice to get the words and they still have to sing the song slower.
Come on down to the front, and stand right here and don't be shy
I'll have you time-travellin', have your mind babblin'
People tryna inherit the skill so they askin' me
He starts dancing freestyle and it's good. Anyone can see that. It's not as good as Mike but it's a very close second. He's just movie around like it's natural, moving his feet around and spinning. Everyone's clapping along and smiling. His dancing doesn't even seem organized, he just looks like he's having the time of his life and it annoys Finn to no end.
Even David Blaine had to go and take some classes, and
I see Mindfreak like, "What's up man, what's happenin'?"
So come one, come all, and see the show tonight
Prepare to be astounded, no Ghost or Poltergeist
You know I'm no Pinocchio, I've never told a lie
So call me Mr. Magic Man, I float on Cloud 9
He walks up to Rachel and pokes her nose playfully before entering the chorus and she giggles. Finn feels the jealousy rise in him, not only is Kyle a much better dancer and rapper than Finn is, but now he's making Rachel giggle?
I've got the magic in me
Every time I touch that track it turns into gold
Everybody knows I've got the magic in me
When I hit the flow the girls come snappin' at me
Now everybody wants some presto magic
Than he does something that Finn has never even seen Mike do, he jumps up and lands on his hands and then starts walking around the room, on his hands!
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
I've got the magic in me!
On the last line he uses his hands to jump up and lands on his feet at the exact moment that the music stops. Everyone's up in their seats, clapping for him (except Artie who's just clapping) so Finn joins and claps politely.
Kyle is panting and sweating but he's smiling as Mr. Shue walks up to him and pats him on the shoulder.
"Woo!" Mr. Shue says enthusiastically as the rest of the class sits down. "That was great Kyle, you're voice was great, not to mention you're quite the dancer."
"I wouldn't really call that dancing," Kyle says as he catches his breath, "I just took a few of my workout moves and well, did them."
"Well I'd say you did a pretty good job. What do you guys think?" Mr. Shue asks the class and everyone starts talking at once. Finn can only make out a few things.
"Not bad for a white boy," from Mercedes.
"He's cute," from Santana.
"That was badass," from Puck.
"Alright guys," Mr. Shue smiles as he settles everyone down. He then turns to Kyle who has finally caught his breath. "Do you have any other talents we don't know about? Do you play any instruments?"
Kyle shrugs, "I played the glockenspiel in music class when I was 11."
"Bless you," Brittany says from Artie's lap thinking he had sneezed. Kyle laughs.
"What's a glockenspiel?" Puck asks.
Before Kyle can answer, Rachel get's up. " A glockenspiel is a percussion instrument, composed of a set of tuned keys arranged in the fashion of the keyboard of a piano. In this way, it is similar to the xylophone; however, the xylophone's bars are made of wood, while the glockenspiel's are metal plates or tubes and is usually smaller and higher in pitch."
Kyle laughs again, "what she said."
Mr. Shue smiles and nods as if knowing how to play the glocken-whatever will actually help. "That's great, I think there might be a Journey song that uses that instrument. Welcome to glee club Kyle."
"Thanks," Kyle says with a smile before sitting down next to Rachel. Next to Rachel! Rachel smiles at him and he says something that makes her laugh. Finn is furious! How can she be laughing after they just broke up? Finn has had enough, "Mr. Shue, can we get on with the class." Everyone looks at him and Rachel's face saddens but she looks away.
"Umm sure Finn," Mr. Shue says and he starts talking about regionals.
Kyle P.O.V.
Kyle felt great after he finished his solo, everyone was cheering for him and it felt good. As Mr. Shue starts talking about what he's guessing is a singing competition he turns to look at Rachel. She seems very interested in what the teacher is saying so he just smiles and takes the opportunity to see who's in the class. He did see everybody when he was performing but he was more concentrated on not falling and cracking his head open.
He did notice Mercedes, the girl from the cafeteria sitting next to the same Goth girl and Asian guy. Kyle assumes they are together because the guy has his arm around her.
Sitting behind them is two blonds, although the boy's hair couldn't be natural, who must also be together because he keeps on kissing her on the cheek while she whispers things in his ear. The girl is wearing a cheerleading outfit that matches the one a Latina girl is wearing in the same row. She is sitting next to a boy with a Mohawk that must be her boyfriend because every time the teacher turns around, they start making out.
Kyle catches sight of another cheerleader, sitting in the front row on the lap of a boy in a wheelchair. She's bobbing her head as if following the beat of a song only she can hear and he seems to be listening to the teacher. The girl is slightly turned so Kyle can finally see the full cheerleading uniform. He's gone to many school's that have cheerleaders but they never wear their uniforms during classes. Isn't there some sort of dress code or something? He asks himself as he sees how short the skirt is.
Suddenly, he remembers something a very scary women had said.
"You're lucky I saw this before one of my cheerios, or worse myself, slipped and fell. That would have been a lawsuit mister!"
So she's the cheerleading coach? He thinks as he remembers the blue jumpsuit. Wait? She had called them cheerios…He smiles at the thought, he can't help but find that incredibly clever, he absentmindedly let's out a laugh and everyone turns to him.
"Sorry," he says quickly as he thinks of a cover, "I had to cough and it came out weird."
Mr. Shue just smiles and nods, "that's okay. So as I was saying, I think we should defiantly start choosing our music now…" Kyle goes back to tuning him out and continues to look around.
That's when he notices the boy sitting behind him, a little to the left. He remembers Mr. Shue calling him Finn. Haha like a shark's fin He thinks lightly and smiles at the boy. Except he doesn't smile back, he glares at Kyle as if he had just taken the last chocolate pudding right from under his nose.
Kyle turns back around slowly and starts paying actual attention to what the teacher is saying because he thinks that if he turns around again, Finn might jump him or something.
Throughout the rest of the hour he can't help but think to himself. What did I ever do to him?
PLEASE READ!
I got rid of Lauren right away because I never really liked her and I thought she would just ruin the plot but if there's anyone who LOVES her just tell me and i'll see if I can bring her back.
I have a few more song ideas for Kyle and a few for Finn but I'm still open to suggestions!
And again, if you want me to change the P.O.V. so that you can know what everyone is thinking instead of just one person than don't hesitate to tell me.
I'm also still deciding between Finn and Kyle and I REALLY need your guys' prefrences. Some people have already told me who they'd rather but I'm still deciding so you still have a chance to tell me.
Thanks again to 'gleepotter' and all my other reviewers, you guys may not realize this but you inspire me just by rewiewing either to give me ideas or just to say good job. It makes my day so thank you all.
Thx for reading!
