Chapter Fourteen

"Okay can you guys either shut up or leave," said Mr Schue. We jumped in surprise, and decided for once to pay attention. "As I was saying, the Halloween ball is next month, and we've been asked to perform," I frowned, he meant the golden couple and their crew, the rest of us would be back-up singers, again. "I've decided Finn and Quinn should do a duet, Mercedes and Sunshine should do a ballad, Kurt you're in charge of costumes, it should be a fun night,"
"Fright night more like," whispered Jack to us, and we snickered.
"What are the rest of the club doing," said Dylan to Mr Schue.
"What do you mean," said Mr Schue.
"Well you have twelve members, and yet you're only using four," said Dylan. "Doesn't seem fair to me,"

"I want to showcase our best talents," said Mr Schue.
"So use them," said Cam. "Rach and Puck are amazing singers and I'm sure together they'd be phenomenal,"
"When have you heard me sing," said Noah.
"Rach recorded you singing Sweet Caroline that one time," said Jack. I blushed, that was just over two years ago.
"And obviously we know Rach is amazing," said Dylan. "But I'm sure there are other amazing singers in the group too,"
"This is my club and I say who sings," said Mr Schue.
"But how is that fair," I said. "I know that you're never going to pick me, or Noah, because we hurt your favourites, but Santana can sing, Mike and Brittany can dance yet you never use them for choreography,"

"Fine," said Mr Schue. "If you can come up with a set list of songs you think would be suitable, then I'll maybe consider it, we only have half an hour anyway, there is another band performing after us," he was clearly not happy about that.
"Who," said Mercedes.
"I don't know," said Mr Schue. "Mr Figgins wouldn't say, get into your groups for this week's assignment, you can ask me for sheet music etc," I frowned as we were once again ignored.
"So what song are you doing Rach," said Noah.
"I don't know," I said. "I've written a few songs about my childhood,"
"By the way," said Dylan. "We're the band grease was talking about,"
"Awesome," said me and Noah together, causing the others to look our way. "Okay let's get back to work,"

We discussed songs for the rest of practice, I planned to sing a song I'd written, as I felt it would have a lot more meaning. So whilst the guys were talking with Chris, I dug out my song book, which was full of songs, not just the ones I'd written with the guys, but songs I'd written for me too. I found the one I was looking for, and walked across to the music room to begin practicing on the piano. Sometime later, Cam came in to ask what we were having for dinner, he looked angry, and when I walked out to the living room, they all did. "I take it the meeting didn't go well," I said.
"He was such an ass," said Dylan. "We fired him,"
"Can't say I'm sorry about that," I said. "He was a dick, and I'm not sure what I want to eat," we decided to take a walk down to the local Burger King, and took our food to the lake in the park we went to the previous weekend.

"So," I said, as we ate. "What are you performing at the Halloween ball,"
"You mean what are we performing," said Dylan. I looked up confused, "We know how much you want to perform, and grease is never gonna let that happen, but you can perform with us,"
"Are you sure about that," I said.
"We wouldn't want anyone else," said Jack.
"Okay," I said. "It would sure as hell surprise everyone,"
"I just wanna see the look on their faces when you perform with us, I mean I know they've seen you already, but when we perform the dirty stuff, it'll be awesome," said Cam.
"We should do Bad Touch dressed up in those monkey outfits," I said. We laughed and agreed to do just that.

"You are going to perform your own songs too," said Dylan. "You know like our opening act,"
"Do I have a choice," I said.
"No," they all said at once. I groaned and got up to throw my trash (feel so weird writing that me being English lol), and glared as they handed me theirs too. I smiled as I got into bed, I couldn't wait to see their faces when I performed with 'The Blackbirds', it was sure going to be an interesting night.
