WARNING! This chapter is EXTREMELY LONG. Perhaps I got too carried away? But hey, the more the merrier, right?
Chapter 6
Short Skirts and Sing-offs
Sue Sylvester was holding a sheet of paper in her hands. She stuck it on the bulletin board and smiled at it. She then went back to her office as majority of the students peered on what she posted:
CHEERIOS TRYOUT LIST
1. *****
2. *****
3. *****
4.
5.
Among those was Quinn, who was staring for quite some time. There are three students who joined but wanted to keep their identities confidential? Who would want to keep it a secret that they joined the Cheerios? Or maybe, Sue had already placed three girls on her list, but she's not sure if they'd consider being in the squad.
As she contemplated this thought, just across her were Azimio Adams and Dave Karofsky, who seemed like they were having a serious discussion.
"What? You have a queer cousin?" asked Karofsky.
"Man, keep it down! I don't want anyone knowing about it. Anyway, he's going to be studying here starting tomorrow and…" Due to frustration, he slams his locker shut.
"If he gets bullied in the school, my mom's gonna kill me!"
"Well, let's not bully him then. The guys only follow who we terrorize, so if we leave him alone, he'll be fine."
"Okay man. I'm counting your word on this one…" Azimio sighed as the both of them walked to their first class.
On the far end of the hallway, Lindsay was walking towards her locker, listening to her iPod and practicing her rendition of On My Own. I'm so going to blow Rachel out of the water. She opened her locker and saw something covered in plastic drop. It was a Cheerios uniform. She looked around to see if someone was there recently. She picked it up, looking at the letters "WMHS" embroidered on the chest part. She's never thought of joining the Cheerios. Hearing the rumors about the cannonball routine last year, she knew that it was dangerous business. But, now that she's in the Glee Club, wearing the uniform might, emphasis on the word might, grant her immunity to slushies.
As Lindsay was holding and looking at the uniform, Santana was walking down the hallway. She took a fleeting look to the right and noticed Lindsay and the uniform she was holding. She brushes the uniform from her hands.
"What the hell!" she said, pinning Lindsay at the lockers as a crowd of onlookers gathered. "Planning to betray the Glee Club, are we?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" She tried to shake off Santana's grip but her arms were very strong. "Someone placed it in my locker! I didn't even try out!"
"Yeah, well, how can you explain those 3 blurred names on the list? Don't even tell me one of those names weren't yours."
"Well it isn't! Let go of me!"
Emily rushes in and pushes Santana while Marissa grabs Lindsay. Santana loses her balance, but is caught by Brittany and Quinn.
"We have uniforms too, Marissa and I," said Emily, smiling. "Maybe Coach Sylvester thought that the three of you weren't good enough for the Cheerios anymore."
"Why you bi—" Santana tried to break through the two blondes, the smaller one stopping her from finishing her sentence.
"Joining the Cheerios is one of the biggest mistakes we made! We can't see a repeat of us in you three!"
Lindsay straightened herself. "Well we won't follow your footsteps! We are going to be better Cheerios than you!"
She picked up her uniform and pushed through the flock of students. Emily and Marissa followed her as they went inside the restroom. Inside, the three were standing looking at each other. Lindsay then looked down at her uniform.
"Let's wear them," she said with a stern look. The other two were surprised. They've never seen Lindsay this pumped and heated.
"I'm not so sure yet," Marissa said. "What is Coach Sylvester planning for us? Why did she give us these uniforms? And I honestly have a weird feeling those blurred names are ours." She took a deep breath. Things were going so fast yet again in her life, including the thoughts in her head.
"Come on Marissa!" persuaded Emily. "Wearing this makes us untouchable. No slushies and bullying!" She had a glowing smile. She never wanted to join the Cheerios, but if she is going to be a part of the head trio, she wouldn't mind at all.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm changing." Lindsay immediately went inside a cubicle.
Emily looked at Marissa. "You game?"
The redhead sighed as they both entered separate cubicles. All you can hear were sounds of zippers unzipping and clothes being placed over the door. After a few minutes, it became silent.
"Are you guys ready?" asked Lindsay. "On the count of three. One, two, three!"
The three doors swung open. Lindsay, Emily, and Marissa were looking at themselves in the mirror, somewhat admiring how they look. The color of the uniform complimented their skin tone and their body. Although the skirt was kind of short, they agree that it feels more freeing.
"We look awesome," said the smaller brunette as she whirled.
"Hmm, I can't believe the uniform compliments my boobs," said Emily, turning side to side looking at how the uniform fits.
Marissa just stares at herself. She looked…good, at least that's what she thinks she looks. Finally, her body seemed to agree with her now. Lindsay looked at her and smiled.
"You look good Marissa. We all do."
The fourth cubicle swung open, and they all jumped in surprise. It was Sue Sylvester, wearing a black tracksuit. She walked slowly in front of them, stopping at the center to get a clear look.
"You girls seem to like my new gifts," she said, looking at each one of them. "You can help yourselves with some sneakers at my office, as walking with that uniform without the proper shoes removes its integrity."
"Why did you give us these uniforms?" asked Marissa. She looked intently at the coach, who was also looking at her.
"You're different from other gingers. I usually hate them, but I can't pinpoint you exactly."
She then looked at Emily. "You remind me of Santana, but the fact that your rack is natural seems to make me hate you a little less." Emily raises one of her eyebrows and folds her arms.
"And lastly, blue eyes. You strike me as a beautiful, probably less annoying Rachel Berry." Lindsay just gives her a stoic reaction.
She walked towards the door, her back facing the three. "By the way, this is just a test run. You aren't part of the Cheerios yet. Like all other girls, you have to try out. That is, if you want to be part of the team. And don't worry. If you will be part of the team, I won't let you quit that precious Glee Club of yours."
She leaves the three girls, still contemplating about what she said.
Cameron, Hannah, and Matheus were at the lockers. They were glad that no one had been throwing a slushie at them. This was, so far, turning out to be a good day. An added plus was that it was their first time to perform for the club individually.
Bryce, on the other hand, was searching for his locker. He stopped at where Cameron was standing.
"I guess that's my locker." Bryce said as Cameron moves to give him space.
"You're new right? I'm Cameron. And these are Hannah and Matheus."
"Hey there!" said the small guy.
"Love your bonnet! It's so you!" she exclaimed.
"Thanks! I'm Bryce. So, are any of you sophomores and do you know where first period Social Studies is?"
Cameron faces him. "Hey, we have the same class! We could go there together!"
"That'd be great!" He looks around. "Now, if only I could find my friend."
"Oh, you made friends already?"
Bryce shook his head. "I used to go to high school with her until she moved here. Now, we're at the same high school again."
The students around the hallway were now looking up front. Students started flocking from different corners, extending their necks to take a look. Hannah and Matheus turned to see the commotion.
"Oh wow…"
"Cameron, you've gotta see this!"
Lindsay, Marissa, and Emily were strutting down the hallway, almost as if they were walking in a fashion show. Every guy they passed by had their jaws dropped, their heads turning to follow their paths. Almost every girl looked at them in awe, but some with envy. Rachel's eyes widened, seeing them walking down. Why in the world are they joining the Cheerios? She turns to Finn, his eyes still focused on the three ladies. She slapped his chest, making him snap out of his trance.
As the three were approaching them, Cameron was staring at Marissa the whole time. He was surprised. She was exuding confidence ten times from when the first time he met her. Damn, she looks so…hot. Cameron started to feel sweat dripping from his forehead. He felt the blood rush to his cheeks. He made a nervous gulp as the three were inches from them. He looked at Bryce, who was beaming.
"So, how do we look?" said Emily, flipping her hair.
Matheus nodded. "You girls look great! I can't believe you're members of the Cheerios now."
Behind Cameron, Bryce was snickering so much, he couldn't even control himself. Marissa went near him and punched him on the shoulder. "This is not funny!"
"I just can't believe it!" He continued to laugh. "I never thought you would be a cheerleader! But I must say…you look smoking."
Cameron wiped his forehead and straightened himself. "Y-you two know each other?"
Bryce finally stopped laughing and took a deep breath. "She's the one I was talking to you about a while ago."
She then looked at Cameron. "Wait, how about you two?"
He let out a forced smile, controlling his emotions. Stupid hormones! "We're locker mates! And we have first period together!" The way he said it was unusually cheery.
"Hmm, so you wouldn't mind if you would accompany Bryce, right?
Cameron looked back and forth at the both of them. "What? Like babysitting?"
"Exactly!" She turns to him and gives him a smile. His again plasters his false smile on his face. Self-control, Cameron, self-control… "S-Sure…I'll keep an eye on him!"
"Hey now, don't talk like I'm a baby. I'm fully capable of maneuvering the school." Bryce checks her out for a while. "You being a cheerleader, on the other hand…I can't wait to tell this to Karen and the others!"
"Don't you dare!"
After minutes of self-conflict, Cameron takes a deep breath, finally overcoming his emotions. He then observed the two of them, having arguments about this Karen girl, with her hitting him constantly. Bryce seems fun to be with, and is sort of a goofball. He's quite charming, but judging from interactions, they seem to be just friends. They actually have a brother/sister vibe going on with them. I guess I won't have to worry about him.
"Whoa…"
They all turned around to see Damian and Samuel, who stopped walking, their eyes widened. Samuel was looking at the three. "You're cheerleaders now?"
Emily laughed. "Is that so hard to believe?"
Damian shook his head. "No, it's just…" He looked at Marissa, then Emily. "You girls look fantastic." He looked at Lindsay, who glanced at him. She smiles at him and he suddenly takes a little step back. Never expected her to be the cheerleader type.
"But you guys are still on the Glee Club, right?" asked Samuel.
"Mm-hmm." Lindsay said. "And these uniforms are just gifts. We aren't exactly Cheerios yet."
"But you will be! I'm sure of it!" exclaimed Hannah, grinning with excitement. "If you three are Cheerios and in the club, people will notice that it isn't so bad to be in the Glee Club after all! This is a great way to pull in recruits!"
The three looked at all of them, who were all stoked at seeing them in uniforms. As they looked at each other, they relayed the same thoughts. Their friends are happy with them being Cheerios. They should be too, right?
The school bell suddenly rings, and they all say their goodbyes as they head for their classes.
Damian liked English, even though he preferred the way it was taught in Ireland. However, he was starting to find the subject uncomfortable. It is not because of the subject. It is not because of the teacher. It is not because they are doing a seatwork he found unexciting.
Lindsay was right there, beside him, wearing a skimpy cheerleader uniform, and he cannot just help but stare. After all, he is your average guy. He gets turned on by girls easily. And right now, he didn't like it at all.
He wrote vigorously to keep his attention. Putting a few sentences in, he dropped his pen. He sighed, bending down to get it. At that moment, he grabs it and extended his head. He nearly jumps but he controls himself. Oh my god…
He was having a full view of her legs. They looked flawless and smooth. He was such a sucker for good skin, since he too had a sensitive barrier. He immediately straightened himself and moved his chair about 2 feet away from her. He turned his back to her, not letting her see him because he was sure that his cheeks were full on red.
Lindsay stands and submits her seatwork. As she went back to the table, she sees him sweating, which was unusual. Today wasn't a hot day.
"Damian, are you okay?" She pulled her chair closer to him.
"Yeah! Yeah, I'm fine." He still kept his back facing her. "I'm just going to finish this. Just…do your thing…there. A little bit further...please?" Damian looked at his watch. 15 minutes left. Yes, he thought. You can do this…control yourself. 15 minutes and this is through. He goes thinking about the what the rest of the day will be like. And he remembers: Spanish with Marissa and Emily. He sighed. Today is totally about discipline.
Lindsay shrugs, and seeing that he doesn't need her assistance, she put her seat a little further from him, just as he requested. She brought out her sheet music and started analyzing her song for the nth time. She glanced at Damian, who was taking writing seriously. Hmm, maybe he doesn't want to slack off in English…seeing him getting worked up on the seatwork…it's kind of cute. She smiles to herself, as she resumed to her sheet music.
Matheus goes out of the mens' restroom. Classes are over so he rushed to the choir room for their performances. He passed by the secretary's office, seeing a girl who looked too young to be in high school seated on a bench outside. She had few but barely noticeable circular scars on her face. She then looked at him too, frowning. He passes by her.
"Hey! Do you study here?"
He stops and turns to her. Hmm, she doesn't sound young at all. "Um, yeah I do. Although you wouldn't think that because of my height, I—"
She stands up and goes near him. She was about one or two inches taller than he was. "Hmm, thank you."
"For what exactly?" He looked up at her. She brought out her cellphone, and focused it to Matheus. A bright flash blinded him, and she resumed to her phone.
"Hey, I know that I'm unusually small, but it's kind of rude to take a picture of me without my consent!"
She was still busy with her phone, Matheus hearing all the taps and clicks which were as fast as a teenager could text. "Don't worry. I'll delete it immediately."
"Excuse me but do I know you?" he said, confused.
She finally keeps her phone and puts out her hand. "Hi, my name is Ellis. And you just won me a bet. The conditions were actually finding someone smaller than me, so…thanks again."
"Am I even supposed to believe you?"
She sighed. "I know that I sound so blunt and flat, but yes you have to believe me. I can share you my winnings if you want to…"
Matheus looks at her hand, still waiting for his response. After a few seconds, he finally accepts her handshake. "I'm Matheus. And to tell you the truth, your introduction was the weirdest I had since entering here."
"Mm-hmm," she said, prolonging the 'hmm' part, as if not even caring what he said. "So, are you a freshman? Because I just came from having chickenpox and—"
"Chickenpox?" He said, wiping his hands on his jeans. "I haven't had that before!"
"Calm down! I'm not contagious anymore. Trust me."
"You know, with the way you speak, I'm not sure if anyone's going to believe you on that!" He continued wiping his hand. "But, to answer you, yes I am a freshman."
"Cool then, I'm gonna borrow your notes, okay?" She smiled.
"I think I don't have a choice now…"
"Good." She knocked on the glass window of the office and waved goodbye at the secretary. She again turned to Matheus.
"Can I ask you one more thing? Is there a Glee Club here?"
Matheus, now done 'decontaminating' his hand, looks at her now with slight interest. "Glee Club? I was just about to go there!"
"Oh, the gods really guided me this time," she said, nodding. "Shall we go then? I can't wait to do my audition."
Matheus smiles and motions his arms, showing her the way as the both walk to the choir room. She seemed weird, but hey, any addition to the club is worth being a friend.
At the choir room, there was a slight tension, most especially between the new and former Cheerios. Emily, Lindsay, and Marissa were seated together, at the topmost platform, while at the far end of that platform were Brittany, Quinn, and Santana. The other members knew about the altercation this morning, but were too scared to bring it up since it might cause further damage.
The meeting started off with auditions from Ellis and Bryce. Ellis sang a jazz version of Why Can't You Behave, and all were amazed at the voice coming out from this girl. She looked like a child, but sounded like a woman. Bryce sang Sunday Morning, and his voice was fresh to the ears of the students. No one could sing like him, and they all recognize it as another added strength to the club. Knowing Mr. Schuester, both were accepted to the club, but were exempted from today's assignment. As for their mentors, he assigns Mercedes with Ellis and Sam with Bryce. Both seemed to be pleased with their apprentices.
"Okay!" Mr. Schue says, clasping his hands. "Are you all ready for our first homework assignment of the year?"
Cheers erupted from the students as he smiled. "All right, who wants to go first?"
The newbies all look at each other. Seeing that no one wants to volunteer, Lindsay, being the strong-willed person that she is, stood up and went to the center.
"I'm starting to feel embarrassed now…" Rachel whispers to Finn. "She's going to ruin that song." Finn takes a little glance at Rachel, but doesn't comment.
On my own,
Pretending he's beside me,
All alone, I walk with him till morning.
Without him, I feel his arms around me,
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes,
And he has found me...
She started the song soft. Then, the bass guitar and drums enter. Rachel rolls her eyes. She looks around, noticing that her club mates were looking at her intently.
In the rain,
The pavement shines like silver,
All the lights are misty in the river,
In the darkness the trees are full of starlight,
And all I see is him and me,
Forever and forever...
The acoustic guitar enters, and the others were smiling. Rachel frowned. What's so special about this? Although she had to admit, her voice was spectacular in this. She was meant to sing Broadway.
And I know it's only in my mind,
That I'm talking to myself and not to him,
And although I know that he is blind,
Still I say, there's a way for us...
Lindsay continues singing the song with power and vulnerability at the same time. Just as the song was nearing its end, the instruments immediately become silent. She takes a pause, but continues, now in acapella.
I love him... I love him...
I love him... But only on my own...
She smiles and does a curtsy. Everyone was clapping for her, including Mr. Schue. Rachel, although reluctant, gave a polite applause, but only just for her vocals. Lindsay then went back to her seat.
Matheus was next, and he too serenaded them with an acoustic version, with his mentor Puck playing the guitar.
For you I'd write a symphony
I'd tell the violin
It's time to sink or swim
Watch him play for ya
For you I'd be (Whoah)
Runnin a thousand miles
Just get you where you are
Step to the beat of my heart. I don't…
The song went on, accompanied with Matheus doing some dance moves. All of them were clapping and smiling in delight. They were pleased that he was game in doing all the stuff. When he ended, he and Puck did a high five, as Puck carried him to his seat. They were once again cheering.
Next was Samuel, who decided to play the guitar too. He strummed like no one's business, and the others were nodding to the beat.
I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need
He ends with a final strum and everybody applauds him. He approaches Artie and gives a high five, like they always do. Next was Emily, who nodded to Brad. He looked grateful, since finally someone required his assistance. He started playing the piano, and some, mostly the girls, recognized the tune.
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
Emily's voice had a strong and sultry tone to it. Like Samuel's performance, everyone was nodding to the beat. Some were even clapping to that certain beat. She ended the song with a graceful note, and everyone applauded. Even Santana was clapping, but one can conclude that it was maybe because of their similar heritage.
Hannah goes at the center with an aura of joy and pleasure emanating from her. She then wore a pair of shades as her mentor Tina plays the record on the CD.
This here's a tale for all the fellas
Try to do what those ladies tell 'em'
Get shot down cause you're over zealous
Play hard to get females get jealous
Ok smartie, go to a party
Girls are stancin the crowd is showin body
A chick walks by you wish you could sex her
But you're standin on the wall like you was Poindexter
Everyone was dancing on their seats, smiling with Hannah as she raps. Who wouldn't be happy seeing her perform? The girls sing with her on the chorus, and as she ends, she does the usual rap pose, which made all of them cheer, some even giving her a standing ovation.
She was followed by Damian, who had Samuel playing guitar for him. He was the first to utilize a stool. Samuel starts plucking, and the older members of the club started smiling, familiar with the song.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Most of them were moved by his singing. His eyebrows were even quite still. His baritone voice showed his emotion, and they were actually wondering if he was remembering a sad memory singing it. As he ended, everyone was clapping, especially Santana, who looked like a proud mother seeing her child graduate. He smiled as he took his seat.
Cameron and Marissa were the only ones left. She looked at him, signaling that she should go last. He smiled and mouthed 'Ladies first'. She smiled back, and decided to take the stage. Like Damian, she sat on the stool. She looked at her mentor Finn, giving her a thumbs-up. She took a deep breath, and started to sing.
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed
The others were silent, surprised that she decided to sing this without accompaniment. Bryce was looking at her intently, realizing the song she chose, which perfectly describes who she was and what she went through.
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
The other girls decide to sing the background vocals as she continued to sing the song with emotion and passion. She was singing as if she was the one who actually wrote the song, and meaning every word. As the last word resonated from her lips, everyone clapped tremendously. She did a little bow and returned to her seat.
Cameron was the last to perform. He shakes himself up and picks the guitar. He takes a deep breath.
"I want to say something before I perform."
Kurt leant back to his seat, surprised at Cameron. Hmm, touché my student. Plus points for having an introduction.
"I was off to a bad start going into this school year. I got thrown at the dumpster. I got slushied twice. First, it was five slushies all at once. Then next, was only one, but it was equally as painful as the first."
They looked at him with pity in their eyes. He probably had the toughest time out of all of the new members, but some of them didn't know the point of his unusual foreword.
"I thought I wasn't going to survive, but even with all the gray clouds hovering all over me, there was a ray of sunlight that entered."
He wears the guitar and strums it once. "I dedicate this song to her. I know it's not much, but I hope she'll appreciate my performance."
He looks at Marissa, suddenly taken aback, now realizing his intention. The others turn to where he was facing, and suddenly they were all looking at her, including Mr. Schue. She knew he was grateful for helping him all those times. But, she certainly did not expect him to serenade to her, especially in front of the Glee Club. She tried to keep her composure, but she was pretty sure that she was blushing. Then again, who wouldn't?
He continued strumming his guitar in an upbeat rhythm. They redirect their gazes towards him and they all start clapping, matching the beat with his strumming. She, however, does not join in. Instead, she wears a polite smile as she watches him closely.
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture
'Cause since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I 'love' your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop makin' a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
She smirks at the lyric change. Obviously, the ginger hair reference drew him to the song. Nonetheless, she couldn't help but admit that the gesture was sweet and sincere. She was flattered that a guy would sing a song to her, and broadcast to a lot of people that she was his 'ray of sunlight' or whatever you can call it. And his performance reminded her of the day she first heard his voice. His voice that really impressed her. Sure, it was somewhat awkward that everyone now knows what the both of them had been through. But, unexpectedly, she didn't mind anymore.
As he flicked his hand for the last strum, she found herself smiling, as the others cheered him on. He once again looked at Marissa. She was still smiling, and mouthed him a 'thank you' accompanied with a noble salute. He smiled back as he put the guitar down and went back to his seat.
The four judges were at the piano, discussing who should win the assignment. All the performances were pretty tight. But of course there had to be one winner. After minutes of deliberation, the four straighten up and go to the center. Sam starts to open his mouth.
"You all did so awesome. Let's clap for all of you one more time!"
Everyone was applauding. The mentors were especially proud of their charges. They might even see a little bit of themselves in these new recruits.
"So, this was a tough decision, but we believe the winner is the one who put his heart out into his performance. This one's yours, Cameron!"
Cameron jumps from his seat and pumps his fist in the air. Kurt was clapping ecstatically, seeing as they had won the Lima Bean coupons. He could finally treat his boyfriend Blaine, who was always responsible for buying their drinks during their dates at the coffee shop. Everyone cheered and somewhat agreed with the winner. As the excitement slightly goes down, Mr. Schue takes the floor once again.
"That was great, you guys! You're all killing it with the numbers, and I'm having a good feeling about Sectionals!"
He goes to the whiteboard, picking up a pen. "And speaking of Sectionals…this assignment will determine who will be featured during one of the three songs."
He writes down something, and all of them started to look excited, anxious, but generally pumped. As he finishes writing, he moves from the whiteboard for them to see next week's assignment.
"DUETS"
Author's Note:
And cue the ending credits! My, that was a long one, wasn't it? But of course, nothing is too long for the lovely readers of my fic. Your reviews keep me writing everyday and it's nice to see people appreciating the work that I put out. I literally jump out of my seat and squeal whenever a review comes up. Of course, you guys are the other half of my inspiration. The first half, obviously, is the wonderful cast of The Glee Project. I can't believe that I grew to love all these contenders so much for all their strengths and weaknesses! I honestly can see the 12 of them replace the current cast of Glee, or like in the case of my story, join them!
In case you didn't catch them during the last chapter, song selections are:
Lindsay – On My Own (Les Miserables)
Matheus – Somebody to Love by Justin Bieber
Samuel – You Can't Always Get What You Want by The Rolling Stones
Emily – Halo by Beyoncè
Hannah – Bust-a-Move by Young MC
Damian – Somewhere over the Rainbow by Judy Garland (Covered by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole)
Marissa – Beautiful by Christina Aguilera
Cameron – Valerie by The Zutons (Covered by Amy Winehouse)
So, I have a little homework for you faithful readers, and it's both easy and difficult. First, any ideas on who Azimio's cousin is? (BTW, Ellis is here! Yay!) And second, guess who the duet partners are! *insert sly grin* I already have my pairs planned so I'm deeply sorry if some of you are going to see some which don't match with your tastes. (I will try to find a way to get your desired duets in the story somehow)
Again, as all other chapters, reviews are appreciated! The number of words in this chapter and reviewers of this story are slowly growing, so I'm going to postpone shoutouts until next chapter.
Please stay tuned for the next chapter, and once again, thanks for reading!
