Chapter 6
Candy Hearts Auditions
Finally. It took me forever to figure something out for this, aside the fact, that I still need to finish posting story one. Also, I want to note, that there are five members, but at the moment, technically, three audition. It'll be easy to figure out as to why once you read on. Kaden will audition, but later. Also I believe that this is yet again, another short chapter, but it won't be much longer, because shortly, CH and ND will encounter each other on McKinley turf, all because of the Lima Bean, and a text that contends to a member in ND.

It had seemed strange that I would find the music room. Most people would find it strange, but when you're late to class, and you make it your every intention to not be late it is.
I head inside and take a seat at the piano bench and begin to play The Trouble With Girls.
(The Trouble with Girls, by Scotty McCreery, covered by Kasen James)
The trouble with girls is they're a mystery
Something about em' puzzles me
Spent my whole life tryna figure out
Just what them girls are all about
The trouble with girls is they're so dang pretty
Everything about em' does something to me
But I guess that's the way it's supposed to be
They smile that smile
They bat those eyes
They steal you with hello
They kill you with goodbye
They hook you with one touch
And you can't break free
Yeah, the trouble with girls
Is nobody loves trouble as much as me
They're sugar and spice and angel wings
Hell on wheels in tight blue jeans
A summer night down by the lake
An old memory that you can't shake
They're hard to find yet there's so many of em'
The way that you hate that already love em'
But I guess that's the way it's supposed to be
They smile that smile
They bat those eyes
They steal you with hello
They kill you with goodbye
They hook you with one touch
And you can't break free
Yeah, the trouble with girls
Is nobody loves trouble as much as me
The way they hold you out on the dance floor
The way they ride in the middle of your truck
The way they give you a kiss at the front door
Leave you wishing you could've gone up
And just as you walk away
You hear that sweet voice say stay
They smile that smile
They bat those eyes
They steal you with hello
They kill you with goodbye
They're the perfect drug
And I can't break free
Yeah, the trouble with girls
Is nobody loves trouble as much as me
It seemed weird singing that song to no one, especially since no one knew that it was my brothers favorite song, and taught me how to play it. Then suddenly I heard someone walk into the music room.
"You've got a good voice," I hear a males voice say, as he caught me.
"Mr. Shue, sorry, I should have been headed to class, in which I was, but I saw the piano, and had to play this song. Today was his birthday, and he would have been nineteen. He was killed in the second Moore, Oklahoma tornado that happened earlier this year," I tell him all at once.
The curly haired Spanish teacher, sat down, as though he was going to force me to say something, as though he were also a shrink in disguise.
"You don't have to talk about it, but any time, you feel you want to, my classroom is always open, or you can always talk to Mrs. Pillsbury. I won't pressure you into anything you don't want to talk about," Mr. Shuester tells me with a quick smile.
"Thank you Mr. Shuester," I smile quickly. "I should be headed to class," I add as I get up from the piano bench, and grab my backpack, and head towards class.

"Word on street is that you're auditioning for the glee club," I hear Kaden, as I walk by his locker. I wasn't thinking about it at first, but then it dawned on me to say that first thing in my head.
"That's correct, Drummer Boy," I tell him placing him with a nickname, and a laugh. "How's the band doing?" I add before he could ask me anything else, then in the corner of my eye, I saw Kasen head to class, as it looked like he was keeping his head, and keeping to himself.
"Eying the Oklahoma boy?" Kaden asks sarcastically as we head towards class together.
"No, but Bay does," I tell him, revealing Bailey's secret crush. "
We walk together passing the popular cheerleaders, and of course, that one football "I want break high school stereotypes" football player Aislinn something. It was a weird name, but a cool name.
"At lunch time, if you need help, I can help you know," Kaden offers me, as he runs his fingers through his hair, playing it cool.
"Thanks, but I'll be fine. I know all the words, and I'm ready, so you want to come watch me audition?" the words come out, as I find them.
Glee.
(Aislinn)
"Why don't you join the soccer team? That's co-ed, and girls can actually play!" I hear Troy Akron state, as he walks by my locker.
"Akron, why don't you shut, and learn that girls can play football if they want!" I yelled back, though I knew he wasn't paying attention.
"Morning Ace," I hear Whitney, as he comes up to me. He looked ready for practice today, in which, he wore his jersey, and Under Armor pants. His blond hair, and green eyes went perfect together.
"Morning Whit, so you ready for practice today? I'm planning to be there," I tell him all at once, as a couple of the punk kids walk by holding their skateboards, and breaking the dress code walk by.
"Actually, I was thinking of quitting the team this year, it just isn't interesting that much anymore, and honestly sports are so sexist anyways," he tells me, as he looks me in the eyes. "I have to get to class," he adds, as he walks away towards the arts wing.
Whitney. Quitting the football team? There had to be a reason, but what? I was going to find out. If I was going to help out with the team, I would have to find the reason. Then Kaden walked by, as he carried his drumsticks in his hand, I assumed he was headed to class.
"Headed to class?" I ask as I catch up with him, and quickly smile.
"Yep, and I'm planning not to be late, because after that, I have plans to help a friend out with her auditioning song for glee. She's into that stuff, though, it's all a show for Xander, everyone knows it, even though her, and I don't have the same friends," he tells me, as we enter the literature room, and sit down beside each other.
"You're into her. Interesting," I tell him guessing, as I pull out my copy of the book we're assigned, and place it on my desk.
"She's just a friend," he tells me, as he rolls his eyes.
"I won't tell her. I promise," I tell him, as our teacher walks in, and we begin our class time for the day.
He just smiles at me for a moment. His black, curly hair that passed his ears. Somehow made me think of Orlando Bloom, but I wasn't about to tell him that.
"I passed, I'm impressed," he tells me laughing, as the class comes to an end for the day.
"Well that's good," I answer him, as I look at my watch, and realize it's lunch time, as I walk with him to the auditorium.
"You're coming with me?" he asks surprised, as he sees that I'm still walking with him.
"Why not? I have nothing else to do, and besides, ninety eight percent of this school is against me playing football because I'm a girl, and football is supposedly a boys team," I tell him honestly, as my blue eyes, which had black mascara around them, as they usually do.
"I think you should drop the mascara, that would make everyone know you're serious about joining the football team. Icebox," he tells me with a quick smile, as he opens that auditorium door for me, and we head in. I had no idea where Icebox had come from, and I wasn't about to ask. I rather liked the name.
"Are you two auditioning?" I hear a man ask, as we get closer to the stage.
"I am anyways, I don't know about him," I tell the man, as I point to Kaden, and smile.
"Well then, I'm Mr. Schuester, but you can call me Mr. Schue," the curly haired teacher introduced himself. "You're up next," he adds, as he looks at me and smiles.
Glee.
(Mr. Schue)
I had already seen one kid, I was about to automatically place into Candy Hearts. I would just have to convince him. Kasen James, reminded me of Finn, except this time, I wasn't going to plant pot in the locker, I was going to do it the traditional student/teacher way.
Then a skinny girl with shoulder length dark brown hair, brown eyes, a slim face, and stood 5'6" came out, ready to show the few of us what she had.
"Whoa! So it is true, you're auditioning?" asked the boy that had just walked in. He seemed shocked by this.
"Yes, Kaden, it is. Now can I carry on with my audition?" she answers back, and then smiles.
"I'm Tanner Cole, and I'm auditioning with My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion," she announces, but mostly at Kaden.
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near...
Far...
Wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more...
You open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near...
Far...
Wherever you are
I believe that
The heart does go on
Once more...
You open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here
There's nothing I fear
And I know that
My heart will go on
We'll stay
Forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
She was good. She secretly the Rachel Berry of Fridlay, and I liked it. She was the second one, if not official first one to join. She walked off stage, and collected her backpack, and headed towards the exit.
"Thank you Mr. Schue. See you in class," she tells me, and ignores the two. I didn't want to know why, nor did I ask them what was going on. Maybe she just didn't like him. I remember a couple of my McKinley students like that.
"Alright, you're up," I tell the mascara eyed, short, blond student.
"Thank you Mr. Schue, and I'm going to be singing, Cups (You're Going to Miss Me) by Lulu and the Lampshades," I announce happily, as I get closer to end of the stage, and start capella style to the song. I wanted to keep it that way.
I got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow, what-do-ya say?
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest view
It's got mountains, it's got rivers,
It's got woods that give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You'll miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
These feet weren't built to stay too long
And I'll go there on my own,
But you'll miss me when you're home
It's for you dear that I sing this song
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
"Yaay Icebox!" cheers Kaden, as I finish. I smile, and giggle a little at his remark.
"That was great," I tell her. "What is your name though?" I ask her, as I noticed she hadn't said her name at the beginning of the audition.
"Aislinn Deyes," I answer him truthfully with a quick smile.
"Well, if you sing as good, as I hear you play football, I think you'll be my girl Sam Evans," he tells me. "Be back here tomorrow at two thirty sharp," he adds with a hopeful smile.
"Yes, sir," I tell him. Well, at least I was accepted somewhere, and who the hell was this Sam Evans dude? I collect Kaden, and head towards class.
That made three people. One boy, and two girls. Then at last moment, someone else had walked in. I was hoping for another boy, so Kasen wouldn't be the only boy, but it was Zoe McCarthy. She was average height, has long, sleek brown hair, fair skin. Her hair, as usual, was in a ponytail, and today, as usual, she had her the Walking Dead hoodie on. I swear, if anyone in this school could survive a zombie apocalypse in this school it would be her.
"Is it alright, if I audition Mr. Schuester?" she asks quietly, as she adjusts her crossbow bracelet, in which, I was sure that would somehow be representing her favorite show.
"Of course you can," I tell her. Then I hear her ring tone go off, and she ignores it.
"Thanks Mr. Schuester," she tells me, as she walks up to the stage, and sits at the piano, and begins to play Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid.
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thing-a-ma-bobs?
I've got twenty!
But who cares
No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walkin' around on those - what do you call 'em?
Feet!
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strolling along down a - what's that word again?
Street!
Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free, wish I could be
Part of that world
What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land they understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
I'm ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it - what's the word?
Burn?
When's it my turn?
When's it my turn?
To be
Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free, wish I could be
Part of that world
Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free, wish I could be
Part of that world
"Thanks again, Mr. Schuester," she tells me, as she heads towards the doors, and heads for class. It was a small group, but it was something. Before she left the auditorium, she checked her cell phone, and seemed happier.
Candy Hearts. Kasen James, Aislinn Deyes, Tanner Cole, and Zoe McCarthy. It was a a start, but New Directions started small as well.
Glee.
Coming up... back at McKinley we finish auditions, an alliance is formed. Someone decides to videotape the CH – it backfires. We finally find out who the text message to Zoe was from. A bet between two boys over a girl.
