Rachel was thrilled when her 3 am alarm went off her and Shelby had to be in New York by 10 because at noon they would be going to ordination where they would find out what musical they would be doing not even Shelby knew this yet and she was a staff member.
Rachel and Shelby packed up their car with her suitcases that took the entire back of Shelby's range rover.
They pulled into the airport got everything settled and boarded the plane Rachel decided she was going to take a nap so she would be all ready for her first day at music camp.
Shelby shook Rachel awake about 4 hours later to let her know they would be landing in about 10 minutes. Rachel looked out her window and saw her city below her this was it she was finally here.
They landed at JFK and proceeded to go get their rental car for the summer. They drove on the busy New York streets and Rachel was in awe everything was so big and Rachel couldn't believe she would get to spent eight weeks there for the summer.
They pulled into the music camp which for being in New York was really big it was a bunch of buildings on a huge campus like any other collage. They pulled into the front desk and the pair walked in to get Rachel's room assignments. She would be rooming with Una Donnelly and Kendall Shepherd. They walked to the doom rooms and they each had their own bathrooms thank god because there was no way Rachel was sharing one with her entire floor they were very big rooms because they each had two full beds and one twin.
Rachel was the first one there so she decided to take one the full bed by the window with the most storage space it had a space for the chest she brought at the end of the bed.
"I feel sorry for the last one here because they will be getting the twin instead of the full" stated Shelby
They put Rachel's bedding on her bed it was purple of course with white flowers all over it, it was very cute and very Rachel.
She pulled out her storage bins that would be going underneath her bed these had bathing suits, towels, shoes, and books in them. Next she took out her picture frames and put them on the wall on was a huge frame with many pictures of her and her friends. She also put up Broadway posters including one for Rent Lion king and Wicked of course. she went to check out the closet situation and found that there 2 closets meaning one girl was going to get their own so Rachel decided that she was going to take it the person who got there first should get what they want that's how it works in collage.
"Well I'm going to go get my room settled call me in you need anything I am on the staff floor above you have fun and be nice I love you Rachel"
"Ok thanks mom I love you to"
The next girl walked in and she had just about as much stuff as Rachel.
She didn't walk in with her parents must be that she flew out here by herself most kids did because of the distance Rachel was lucky to have her mom here even though she wants to be independent she is still going to enjoy Shelby being here.
"Hi my names Kendall you must be Rachel or Una."
"Hi my names Rachel Berry"
"Ok so it looks like there's still another girl to come in"
"Yeah I am guessing you're going to take the last full bed I mean I would its first come first serve right"
"Exactly I hope this girl doesn't get to mad"
"So where are you from" asked Rachel
"I am from Chicago what about you"
"I'm from Auburn it's a small town in upstate New York"
"Okay cool"
"How old are you" asked Rachel
"I'm only 14 but don't worry I won't be a bother to you many say I'm mature for my age"
"Ok it's no big deal I have no problem with your age"
"Ok good"
Kendall was a bit shorter than Rachel but that would probably change as she got older. She had bright brown eyes and brown hair like Rachel and she's also very athletic looking but she's the opposite and is really girly.
About an hour after Kendall walked in their third and last roommate waked in but while they were unpacking Kendall and Rachel were getting along really well and even though there was a big age difference they both could tell they were going to get along and become good friends.
Una walked in looking annoyed and didn't really have a friendly vibe but Rachel thought maybe she was just running late.
"Oh so it looks like I get the twin bed how thoughtful of you" said Una
Both Kendall and Rachel exchanged a look.
"Well usually the first person gets to pick the bed they want so Rachel got here first and then I got here second so we got the beds" Kendall shot back.
"And how old are you" asked Una.
"I'm 14 and Rachel's 17"
"Oh fantastic I see were going to be babysitting the entire summer" said Una.
"Well were not babysitting Kendall's really nice and she's not a baby it's not like we even did anything to you, you just got here" defended Rachel.
"Well let's see I don't even get a full bed and I'm older than her and you took the single closet and now I have to share with her and I should have at least gotten the closet" said Una
"Well get here sooner and maybe you would have gotten better stuff" said Rachel
"Well Kendall just try to keep your Barbie's and toys on your side of the closet" said Una
"I'm not going to let you bully Kendall all summer take the single closet I'll share with Kendall god your such a bitch already"
With that Una walked out of the room.
"Don't worry K I'm not going to let her be meaning to you all summer if she bugs you on campus at all just let me know okay?"
"Thanks Rachel" Kendall said liking her new nickname
"You're welcome now let's go see what musical were doing
The pair walked down to the meeting room to see all the other kids and see what they would be working on all summer. There was only about 50 kid's sitting in the room wow this was a really exclusive camp she saw her mother sitting with the other staff.
"Welcome everybody to the NYADA summer program my name is Mrs. Summers and I will be your director for camp. Now before we find out what we will be doing this summer we will go over the rules."
About an hour later they were done with all the rules their curfew was 10 on weeknights and 11 on weekends because weekends were free days to do whatever you pleased on and off campus you just had to sign out and sign when you returned Rachel was excited to be able to go out with friends into the city and really explore without Shelby but she was looking forward to be doing some things in New York with her mom. The other rules were basics no smoking nor drinking no drugs the usual now they were on to the good stuff.
"So I am sure you all want to know what the musical is for this summer without future a due I will pressed to you what the musical is I will pull down the sheet and it will be reveled"
Rachel watched as the rope was pulled down and the first thing she saw was a green girl whispering into a normal girls ear and then it hit her music camp was doing Wicked.
"So as all of you by now were doing Wicked" she said as the 50 kids roared "auditions will be two days from now you will need to perform a musical theater piece and a short monologue from the part you are auditioning for. You will also need to grab a packet for the character you are auditioning for to get your music that you will be singing from the show you will sing one song of your choice from any show on Broadway and there is one piece of music from the show inside I recommend you practice a lot and get plenty of rest"
Rachel knew exactly what packed she was going for the one that clearly said Elphaba across the top.
She made her way back to her room and Kendall was already there.
"Hey what packet did you grab?" asked Rachel
"Nessarose I think it's perfect because I'm a bit younger so I hope I get it"
"What did you grab?"
"Elphaba I have been in love with wicked ever sense I knew what it was it has inspired me to want to be on Broadway"
"That's great I hope you get it"
"Thanks hey if you get Nessa we'll be sisters" Rachel joked.
Una walked in with her packet and set in on the desk and saw Rachel's and Kendall's.
"You really think you're going to get Nessarose? You probably can't even sing you should have grabbed the ensemble packet" said Una
"If she couldn't sing she wouldn't be here this is a MUSIC camp audition only if she couldn't sing she would have never gotten in" spoke Rachel
"Oh shut up Rachel and you think you're going to get Elphaba in your dreams I'm going to get her by the way but nice try though"
"you don't know anything you have never even heard one of us sing and anyone has a shot at any part so get over it and it's not your part yet anyway you may have been the biggest thing in your hometown but not here you're a small fish in a huge town in case you haven't noticed."
"Whatever but when you don't get the part it's going to be I told you so all summer so I hope you're ready"
"Ok whatever Una"
"So what are you going to sing for you choice" asked Kendall to Rachel.
"On my own from Les Mis I love that musical its really good I have seen in a few times on Broadway" said Rachel remembering all the plays Shelby has taken Rachel to she practically knows New York so navigating on free days should be pretty easy what are you thinking on singing"
"Well even though we already have to sing something from wicked I plan on doing defying gravity it's been my favorite for years."
"That will be cool though it will show the judges that you care"
Rachel decided she was going to take a walk around campus and become familiar where she would be attending classes.
She walked into the practice building where the kids could come and practice and heard someone singing Invisible by Taylor Swift and they were really good so she decided to slowly walk in and listen a little more.
The girl she was watching had blonde hair and bright blue beautiful eyes. All of a sudden the girl stopped playing the piano and began to cry the girl spoke to her self and said why she could never get anything right.
The girl turned around and caught a glimpse of Rachel "great she was busted" she thought
"What are you doing in here" spoke the girl "your aren't supposed to be in here it's rude to spy on people"
"NO I wasn't trying to spy I was just walking around and I heard someone singing it's just that your voice is amazing and I wanted to know who was producing such a respectable sound I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you or invade your privacy" Rachel said she tended to mumble when she was nervous.
"For the record you did do that song right it was beautiful"
The girl softened up knowing that the girl wasn't trying to spy on her "thank you my names Caroline by the way"
"My names Rachel are you planning on auditioning for Galinda because I am auditioning Elphaba" asked Rachel she guessed because of her blonde hair on what she would be auditioning for.
"Well I was planning on it but I just don't know if I'm good enough I just don't know the pressure is already building up and I don't want to be made fun of if the kids don't think I'm good enough I always feel invisible I don't have any friends here" Explained the girl
"Don't ever give up your really good you wouldn't be here if you weren't and if kids aren't expecting you to get a lead then it will be even better it will be a shock and you won't feel so invisible anymore. And I am your friend now we all have to stick together"
"Thanks Rachel"
"My roommate Kendall and I are going to get some dinner do you want to join us and see how good the food is?"
"Sure that would be great"
The trio went to dinner and got their food and found a table.
"So did you guys here about this party that's going to be thrown the night after the cast list goes up" said Caroline
"NO" both girls said at the same time"
"Yea his name is Foster and apparently he has connections here and he's getting tons of alcohol.
"I don't think we should go I mean Kendall is only 14 and that could get us kicked out of the camp it's not worth our summer" explained Rachel
"True one night of partying isn't worth my summer no way" agreed Kendall and Caroline
"So instead we should all go out and do something in the city were allowed to because it will be Saturday" suggested Rachel.
"Ok cool I can't wait why would they want to have a party when the whole city is out there waiting for us "said Caroline.
"I know this is going to be so fun were going to have the best summer ever." They all agreed
The girls enjoyed the rest of their dinner the rest of the night went pretty well they all parted their separate ways after dinner going to score some practice time Rachel went to go see her mother before bed of course"
"Hey mom" said Rachel when she walked in they shared a small hug and parted a few minutes after.
"Wow your room is really nice and you don't have to share"
"Thanks it's because I'm a staff how are your roommates"
"Well I really like Kendall she's younger than me but really mature for her age but my other roommate Una I'm not a fan she bossed Kendall around because she took the bigger bed but its first come first serve if you're here last you're not going to get the better bed and she is so cocky she thinks she's going to get the lead maybe she will but that doesn't mean she can tell Kendall and I that we shouldn't audition for a lead and that the ensemble is the only thing were going to get"
"well she doesn't know what she's talking about she has never heard you or Kendall sing and I'm proud of you for sticking up for Kendall but it's getting late and we both need some sleep for our big day tomorrow I love you baby and sleep well"
"Thanks mom I love you too"
Rachel went back to her room and showered slipped into bed and as soon as her head hit the pillow she was out she couldn't wait for auditions the following day.
