Chapter two
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
The next morning passed quickly, Mom was already gone by the time I got up but that's not out of the ordinary. I walked to school with Kurt so I wouldn't risk embarrassing Noah , Kurt and I discussed our glee club try-out song I was sing 'On My Own' from Les Misérables and Kurt is planning on singing Mr. Cellophane from Chicago. The school day passed without any slushy while no slushys aimed at us but we did see other kids getting slushy one being an annoying junior called Jacob Ben-Israel who Tana and Noah always complain about so I didn't feel too bad for him. Kurt and I made our way to the auditorium once the final bell rang and took a seat by Tina and Mercedes, there were three other people with them Tina's boyfriend Mike who was a junior, Artie who is in a wheelchair and is a sophomore and they were both in the club last year and another boy who was auditioning Sam and he is a sophomore too. Mr Schuester came into the auditorium five minutes after us with a small stack of paper
"Welcome back to my old glee club members and welcome to glee club auditions Rachel, Kurt and Sam, who wants to sing first" Mr Schuester asked
"I'll go first" Sam said as he walked up onto the stage "Hi, I'm Sam Evans and I am going to sing Billionaire". Sam was a good singer and I could hear a bit of a country sound in his voice. Once Sam finished we all clapped and as he left the stage Kurt walked up and took his place in front of the microphone
"Hello my name is Kurt Hummel and I will be singing Mr Cellophane" Kurt said before taking a deep breath and beginning the song which is sang beautifully and really showed off this talent. Again we clapped once Kurt finished and then it was my turn so I switched places with Kurt
"Hello My name is Rachel Berry and I am sing on my own from the seminal Broadway classic Les Misérables" I said before the backing piano began playing and I started to sing. Before I knew it the song was coming to an end and I broke out of my performance induced trance. I looked out to Kurt and the others then and there was first silence then they were all on their feet clapping for me and I smiled and then made my way back to my seat.
"Well, Sam, Kurt and Rachel after those amazing auditions I would love to invite you to join the New Directions "Mr Schuester said
"It's a pity that we still don't have any more members cause we could have given Vocal Adrenaline a run for their money vocally with mini Barbara and the countertenor" Artie whispered to Mercedes, Tina and Mike as we all began to put up. Kurt and I were about to leave when we heard the auditorium door open and in walk Principal Figgins , Coach Beiste and Coach Sue.
"Good William, you are still here " Principal Figgins said "Coach Sylvester and Coach Beiste have some people who would like to join your little glee club"
"yes William , Shannon and I had some parents suggest a solution to McKinley's slushying problem who not put some of main slushy throwers with some of the main slushy receivers and see if it will stop" Coach Sue said with a bit of an evil glint in her eyes
"Well where are they then" Mr Schuester said and beckoned for us to sit back down
"Puckerman, Hudson" Coach Beiste said and Noah and Finn walked in like completely unimpressed
"Tweedle-Dee, Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Fake Boobs in" Coach Sue said and Quinn, Brittany and Tana come into the auditorium. Kurt and I laughed a bit because we knew exactly who tweedle-fake-boobs was.
"Well welcome "Mr Schuester said" I hope you have a song prepared because we don't just let anyone into glee"
"Yeah, Puck and I have a little something" Finn said, out of all the new arrivals he looked the least pissed off to be here
"well boys the stage is all yours" Mr Schuester said so Noah and Finn made their way up to the stage and Noah picked up the guitar which was just off the stage and Finn took a seat behind the drum set.
"This is Glory Days" Puck all but grunted into the microphone. I knew Noah had a good singing voice because as a family we always sung, Noah, Tana and I all sang before we spoke apparently. Finn had a good voice too and their rendition was good and we all clapped once they finished.
"You girls ready" Mr Schuester asked the unholy trinity and they all simply nodded and made their way up onto the stage and began their audition without an introduction but I recognised the song instantly I Say a Little Prayer but what surprised me slightly was that Quinn was taking lead vocals, I never knew Tana to do back-up vocals for anyone and I looked over at Noah and he had the same confused look on his face as I did. The song was performed well and Tana did up a wee bit of a solo but it was very much a Quinn and her backup singer's performance. "well done girls and guys" Mr Schuester said once the unholy trinity took their seats "we now have 12 members in the glee club, so we can now compete in competitions but have a lot of work to do because it will not be easy, as some of you know the current national champions Vocal Adrenaline don't live to far from us and I know they will already be working hard to get ready for competition"
"Yeah vocal adrenaline work like more than the cheerio's and their coach is ruthless, I heard she is so mean child protective services and the president have banned her from having kids because of how she treats her students" Tina said
"But she" Brittany started to say before Tana elbowed her sharply and Noah and I glared at her and Kurt tried to hold in his laughter because he know that us kids were not the only one who wanted to appear unrelated because she has a reputation to up-hold and clearly it was working.
"so I will post the rehearsal schedule by the club signup sheets and from now on we will meet in the music room for practise , I am very much looking forward to working with all of you and see the raw talent grow " Mr Schuester said as we all packed up again to leave.
"Hey Kurt, you need a ride home?" Finn asked Kurt. Kurt nodded back with a shocked look on his face
"Yeah thanks Finn, that would be nice" Kurt replied
"Does your friend need a ride" Finn said nodding toward me .Kurt turned and looked at me with a questioning looking
"No I'm ok, but thanks though" I replied smiling at Finn before turning back to Kurt and giving him a hug and saying " well done today babe, you sound great see you tomorrow" and then I made my way out of the auditorium.
I was about 3 minutes into my 15 minute walk home when I heard "get in the car Yentl" and I heard to see Noah's car with my siblings inside and Tana's head poking out the window. I got into the backseat and put my seatbelt on.
"Ten bucks says mom was the one who suggested you guys joined the glee club" I said as Noah drove us home.
"Damn it" Noah said "I was going to say that"
"Mom must have really lost it if she is basically forcing her kids to compete against her club" Tana said "I say we mess with her and act like we as me and Noah didn't join and the losers who did audition sucked so the New Directions are still not ready to compete, I'm interested to see how far she will go with this whole thing especially if she is trying not to exposer herself as the leader of the rival team"
Once we arrived home we all disappeared into our own room and I did my homework and then got some food out for dinner because mom was pretty unreliable when It came to be home for dinner every night. Dinner time came around and mom wasn't home so Noah, Tana and I ate the leftovers I got out for dinner, we were just finishing up when mom got home
"Hey love-bugs sorry I'm late, how was your days? Did you audition go well baby girl? "Mom asked
"Yeah mom it went so good and Kurt and I got into glee club" I asked with a smile
"Well does that mean VA will have some local competition coming" Mom said
"They would need more members than like 6 to compete" Tana said and mom looked a bit surprised
"Did anyone else audition other than you and Kurt?" mom asked
"Yeah a guy call Sam and a couple football players and some cheerios but that was just due to the fact their coaches made them and they sucked "I said looking at Noah and Tana with a try me look "only one of the cheerios actually sung the other just swayed in the back and the footballers just played instruments and grunted"
"Oh baby I'm sorry" mom said "Mi'ja', did you hear anything about cheerios trying out for glee"
"Nope, first I'm hearing out it, you hear Noah?" Tana said
"I didn't hear anything" Noah replied with a smile
Hope you enjoyed let me know and of course any mistakes are my own.
