Chapter seven: Stars tonight
Emma glanced nervously as she knocked sharply on the door of Carl's dorm room. A few seconds passed before a boy with dark blonde hair and a curious expression opened the door
"Yes?" he replied puzzled lifting his glasses on his nose
"Excuse me is Carl available" Emma replied smoothing out her skirt nervous. The boy looked puzzled but nodded extending his hand and letting Emma into the dorm. There were two other boys available playing on the X BOX console but didn't seem to glance in Emma`s direction. A few seconds passed before the boy returned with Carl
"Thanks Noel" Carl replied. The boy, who Emma assumed was Noel, nodded and headed into one of the rooms leaving Emma alone with Carl
"This is a surprise you don't venture this far usually" Carl smiled but Emma shook her head firmly
"Carl we know we don't have any secrets so "she glanced in the direction of the 2 x box player then nodded towards the door. Carl looked puzzled but nodded grabbing her wrist and walking towards the direction of the door. Once they were outside Emma glanced towards Carl
"I want to audition for `Triple threat` she said firmly "I know you think Will has a hidden agenda but really all I want to do is sing. Don`t you trust me" she pouted and Carl shook his head laughing
"Its not you I don't trust its... him" he sighed putting his hands in his pockets "I don't know Ems" he sighed "It just seems a little farfetched" he mumbled. Emma glanced at Carl and sighed
"Ok I won't audition" she replied "Just for you though but I'll have to tell Rachel I won't be meeting up tomorrow to audition. But I am sure she will understand" Carl smiled and kissed his girlfriend on the cheek grinning
"Is that all you wanted to know?" Carl glanced at Emma who nodded. Carl then walked back to the dorms and Emma shook her head frustrated.
"Will is gonna be so upset when I tell him I can't make it" she sighed. Suddenly she got an idea it was kinda deceitful but Emma wasn't going to let Carl stand in her way of happiness. Beside there wasn't any promise she would actually pass the audition. Her heart twinged as she thought of Will being upset but she just brushed that off.
"Why am I getting so worried about a silly club" she mumbled as she pulled her coat around her making her way to her dorm
(Will tapped his pen as he glanced at the list of auditionees. Quinn and Finn had just auditioned and currently on the stage was a shy quiet girl who blushed every time Will looked in her direction. The final note stopped and Will nodded)
"Thank you Mary you can go" Will smiled at the girl who blushed running out of the room. Will shook his head as he mentality crossed Mary off his list. Emma and Rachel then entered the room and Will smiled brightly
"I have arrived your shining star" Rachel grinned as she shot a grin across at Finn who smiled bashfully at her.
"This is boring can we go now" Santana whispered to Brittany who shook her head smiling at Artie who looked at the girl as if she had two heads
"I wanna hear Artie sing" she mumbled
"Artie has sung" Santana raised an eyebrow but Brittany ignored her friend carrying on talking
"Beside I think if I can make out with him Ill have made out with every guy in the Spanish class. Even Kurt" she smiled
"But Kurt is..." Santana trailed off confused just as Rachel finished singing and Finn jumped up clapping loudly. Will also nodded as he was slightly impressed while Emma was just trying to keep her lunch down
"It wasn't that good" Quinn scoffed rolling her eyes which was reflected by Santana`s look as she glared at the petite girl.
"Thank you all donations and flowers should be sent to my dormitory room" Rachel smiled brightly as if she hadn't heard Quinn`s remark. She then jumped off the stage and sat next to Finn just as Will put a mark next to her name
"Emma?" Will glanced towards Emma who nodded walking towards the stage. She told the piano player what she wanted to sing and he nodded starting to play the first notes of `I could have danced all night`. As she started to get into the song and as she glanced at Will`s encouraging face Emma realised she could sing better and better and finished the song with an high note twirling around with a huge grin on her face but the grin was reflected on Will`s face
"She might even be better than you Rach" Finn`s mouth dropped open but was replied with Rachel crossing her arms in annoyance and sighing
"That was indeed spectacular" Kurt murmured with a nod of the head and a gleam in his eyes
"Emma that was... wow!" Will replied with a huge grin clapping slightly as Emma slightly blushed looking embarrassed "Well I guess auditions are over with now the people who were lucky enough will be notified in due course" he remarked as the auditionees left the room, Will overhearing Rachel saying how she was sure she was a shoe in and how if she wasn't then it was a fix for sure. Will laughed slightly to himself as Emma gave Will a small smile mouthing thanks. Will smiled gently as he entered the Spanish room not being able to get Emma`s voice out of his mind. He checked his cell phone and groaned as he received another message off Terri asking where he was when he had told her he was doing auditions that day. Truth be told Will Schuester was falling for Emma and he needed to snap out of it fast before he did something he regretted like kissing her... Because he knew that if that happened he wouldn't be able to let her go ever and that was a fact.
Terri rolled her eyes as she checked her watch. She had just messaged Will telling him to get home quickly and she was starting to run out of patience. Suddenly the doorbell started to ring and ring frantically
"Ok I`m coming!" Terri shouted as she walked to the door. She opened it and was surprised to see Cleo standing there
"Hey Mrs Schuester" Cleo started to say but was interrupted by Terri
"Cleo please call me Terri Mrs Schuester make me sound ancient and believe you I am nothing but not ancient" Terri laughed but her face looked grim
"Oh ok. Terri please can I come in?" Cleo replied nervously pulling a hand through her hair and biting her lip "I need some money I didn't realise how much the doctors bills were going to cost"
Terri glanced at the young girl and nodded "Ok but just for a moment my husband will be back from work any minute and if he has visitors just after he has finished work he kinda freaks". Cleo nodded understanding what Terri was saying and entered the apartment
"Of course apart from doctor`s bills I need new clothes for when the ones I am wearing get too tight and I need to buy equipment for the baby" Cleo trailed off as she saw Terri`s eyebrows raise up as she got five dollar notes out of her bag
"I thought you just wanted some money for the doctor`s bills not to feed the five thousand" Terri muttered harshly
"But..." Cleo started to say but was interrupted by Terri forcing the money in her hand
"Your only carrying this baby for nine months I`ll have to look after it for up to eighteen years I`m sure you can manage "Terri smiled but with an evil look in her eyes. Cleo muttered what appeared to be a thanks under her breath as she grabbed the notes and left the apartment closing the door behind her. Terri sat down on the sofa and shook her head, just as an bleeping came from her cell phone
Sorry sweetie just got a bit delayed at work but I`ll be home soon. Can`t wait to see you. Will
"Just five months" Terri muttered to herself as she picked up the remote control and started to flick through the TV channels
"Emma!" Emma heard a shout and turned around to see Will jogging towards her a huge smile on his face, his messenger bag slung over his shoulders "Cold day" he smiled breathing in a puff of air
"Y-yeah" Emma nodded "I was just off to the library to meet Carl, French assignment. Kurt was supposed to be helping since he`s the best in our class but he seemed to have disappeared" she shook her head and Will didn't know if Emma was annoyed or just slightly disappointed
"Yeah I'm just off home as well just choosing the lucky students for `Triple Threat` and marking the rest of the assignments. Don`t worry both are fine" Will smiled kindly at Emma and she jumped nervously
"Thanks" she smiled back and the two of them shared a glance as they walked together.
"What is she doing here?" Emma replied with a shocked look on her face as she noticed her mother standing across the road
"Emma" Eva grinned as Emma and Will crossed the road and stood next to Emma`s mother "I was just in the neighbourhood and thought I could find your dormitory, Is this your boyfriend the guy you can`t stop talking about" she smiled at her daughter as Emma looked as if she wanted the floor to swallow her up and Will looked bemused
"Mom" Emma shook her head "N-no this is Will my tutor..." she trailed off praying her mother wouldn't say about the argument they had. Eva glanced once up and down at Will and smirked at her daughter. Emma knew that she approved and felt even embarrassed
"Emma I better get going Terri will be waiting. Nice to meet you Mrs Pillsbury" Will smiled
"It's Eva dear and your welcome." Eva smiled as Will gave Emma a look and started to walk quickly down the road. As soon as Will had disappeared into the darkness Eva grabbed Emma`s coat sleeve and the duo also started walking quickly
"Mom I really have to go and meet Carl, that`s my boyfriend, at the library" Emma replied. Eva ignored her daughters cries but then stopped after a few metres
"Does he know about this" Eva crossed her arms and glared at her daughter
"Mom nothing is going on beside he`s married so even if I wanted something to happen and I don't nothing could happen. He`s going to be a father anyway" Emma gave a soft smile and Eva clicked her tongue
"Mom I really have to go" Emma replied as she let go of her mother`s grip and walked quickly down the road in the direction of the library. Eva glanced in the direction of her daughter and nodded. Her intuition had indeed been correct and if she wasn't careful her daughter`s heart could be broken. But Eva could have made the situation a whole lot worse because now it looked like as if Emma wasn't speaking to her due to her meddling. Eva sighed as she turned on her heel and started walking down the hill
"Just scraped a pass" Brittany grinned as she glanced at the list.
"Whoopee" Santana muttered as she looked at the list and noticed she had received a good grade.
"Well of course I would be in the club" Rachel`s loud voice echoed around the room as she stood next to the audition callback list with Finn who was also on the list "My audition was indeed one of the best"
"Looks like somebody cares more about their singing than their grades" a smooth voice was heard and Rachel lifted her head up to see Kurt smirking at the petite girl
"What do you mean I care about both?" Rachel looked puzzled and was shocked to see Puck standing next to Finn laughing
"Yeah Puck don't laugh at Rachel" Finn looked angry at his roommate
"Well if she would go and look at the list she would know what me and Hummel were talking about" Puck smirked. Rachel scoffed and crossed across the room towards the assignment list where she looked for her name
"Aha Berry" Rachel smiled "Ill soon show..." she trailed off as she noticed she hadn't passed the assignment
"W-wait this can`t be right" Rachel cried out as she ran towards Will`s desk "You failed me" she exclaimed crossly to Will who nodded
"Yeah the assignment wasn't very well structured and some of the vocabulary used wasn't the best. You can redo it if you want but it will cost you 50% of your final grade". Will replied. Rachel shot him a look before walking across to her and Emma`s desk
"Sometimes I just don't understand what goes on through his mind" Rachel replied before noticing Emma was sat there stunned "You failed too?" she glanced at her friend "Well at least there are two of us..." she smiled slightly relieved
"N-no in fact I got the highest mark in the class" Emma smiled brightly with a happy look on her face "I don't understand I have never been that good at languages. And I got in the club as well this is the best day ever!"
"Indeed..." Rachel murmured pieces starting to form in her mind. However before she could think too much the warming bell started for their next class.
"Emma I just got to ask for some help on the essay" Carl nodded across at Emma who nodded walking out of the room. Carl walked towards Will`s desk as he was busy finishing eating up an apple giving a sharp nod.
"I know Emma is in the club" Carl replied "I know that it's you who made her go to the audition as she told me she wasn't going. I won't say anything this time but if you try anything again ill go to the school board and personally make sure you are fired. And won't that be a shame especially with a child on the way". He sneered as he left the room shutting the door behind him. Will just sat there shellshocked as he tried to work out what had just been said. Was Carl just being over protective or did he really think Emma had feelings for him?
Next time
