The next class I had was Study Hall but seeing how it was the first day at school, there was no homework for me to do. So I decided to go to the library and listen to some music. I sat down, plugged in my headphones and starting listening and singing to Carrie Underwood.
Last night, I got served a little bit too much of that poison, baby
Last night, I did things I'm not proud of
And I got a little crazy
Last night, I met a guy on the dance floor and I let him call me baby
[Chorus:]
And I don't even know his last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "hey cutie where you from"
And then it turned into oh no, what have I done
And I don't even know his last name
We left, the club, 'bout around 3 o'clock in the morning
His Pinto, sitting there, in the parking lot, well it should have been a warning
I had no clue what I was getting into
So, I'll blame it on the Cuervo
Oh where did my manners go?
[Chorus:]
I don't even know his last name
Oh My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "hey cutie where you from"
And then it turned into "oh no, what have I done"
And I don't even know his last name
Here we go
Today, I woke up, thinking about Elvis somewhere in Vegas
I'm not sure how I got here
Or how this ring on my left hand just appeared outta nowhere
I gotta go take the chips and the Pinto and hit the road
They say what happens here, stays here, all of this will disappear
There's just one little problem
[Chorus:]
I don't even know my last name
Oh My momma would be so ashamed
It started off, "hey cutie where you from"
And then it turned into "oh no, what have I done"
And I don't even know my last name
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
Oh, what have I done
I don't even know my last name
Well it turned into, oh no what have I done
And I don't even know my last name
Yea, Yeah, Yeah
I don't even know my last name
It started off "hey cutie where you from"
And then it turned into, oh no what have I done
And I don't even know my last name
Oh, yeah
After that little rendition I felt a little tap on my shoulder that startled me.
"So I see you're a fan of county huh?" Said the boy behind me.
"Umm...yeah I love country,it's so beautiful" I said slightly embarrassed
"I'm Sam Evans by the way" he replied. "Hi I'm Emma Reynolds" I said nervously.
"Hey you have a nice singing voice, have you ever considered singing in a club?" He said confidently. I blushed a little when he said that.
"Umm...well yeah I love to sing, but what kind of club are we talking about?" I said.
"Well, you see I'm a member of the McKinley High Glee Club called the 'New Directions' and we are looking for new members", he said quickly. I looked at him with a confused expression on my face
"Umm...I'm from Australia, I have no idea what a Glee Club is", I said In a confused manner.
"Ok, well do you know Mr Schue the History teacher"? I nodded to make sure he knew I was following along.
"Ok good, well we meet a couple of times a week either during school or after school. We do a weekly assignment to help us with song selections for our competitions". I nodded once more.
"There's a Sectionals competition that's against other Glee Clubs in the area and if we win we move onto Regionals that's against Glee Clubs in the state. If we win that, we move onto Nationals that's against all the best Glee Clubs in the country!". Sam said excitedly.
"Last year we won Nationals, it was the best feeling ever. We really want to win this year and with your talent I know we can get there!", said Sam confidently
"Sounds like a lot of fun. When are auditions?" I asked with interest.
"Auditions are this Thursday 3:30 in the Auditorium, hope to see you there!" Sam said with a wink.
"Thanks a lot Sam", I said getting up to leave the library.
"Oh wait Emma, before you go, you and your friend Marley can sit with us at lunch if you like" Sam said happily.
"Sure thing, see you then" I said with a smile.
The rest of my day was pretty good. At the end of the day I sat next to Marley on the bus again.
"So Marley are you auditioning for Glee Club?" I asked.
"Yes defiantly what about you?" Marley asked me.
"Yes I am" I said excitedly.
Little did we know, Luke was sitting behind us the entire time listening in to our conversation.
"You can't join Glee Club, that's social suicide!" yelled Luke.
I whacked him so hard on the side of his face, leaving a red hand print on his cheek. Marley and I laughed as Luke groaned in pain, and we continued on with our conversation.
Luke and I got off the bus and Luke said "Race you to the front door Eminem"
We entered the house to see Mum making her famous first day back to school brownies with Annabelle helping her.
"Hey Mum, hey Annabelle" we said In unison.
"Hey guys how was your first day?" Asked Mum.
"Oh it was awesome, I made a ton of new friends, we played dodgeball in PE Class and I'm pretty sure I have a guaranteed spot on the football team, but I still have to try out" said Luke excitedly.
"Sounds great Luke, what about you Emma?"
"Yeah school was great I made 4 new friends Marley, Ryder, Jake and Sam, AND...I'm gonna try out for the Glee Club and auditions are this Thursday" I said rather calmly.
"Sounds great honey", said Mum.
"Umm...Emma you DO realise that's social suicide right?" Questioned Annabelle.
"Oh my God! You and Luke must share the same brain, because that's exactly what he said!" I told Annabelle.
Luke walked up to Annabelle and put his arm around her and said, "Yep great minds think alike"
"Eww! Please get off me Luke, you smell like a wet dog", said Annabelle in disgust.
Mum and I both laughed. After dinner I did what I usually do. I played the piano that was in the lounge room. I've been playing the piano since I was 5. I started to play my favourite song;
Aye... hmmm...
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away
I'm so in love with you
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying death defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling light, flowers and pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushing in, rushing inside of me, hmmm...
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwined divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure, the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky scraping dove
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
Make love your goal
After I had finished playing, I had a fantastic idea. For my Glee Club audition I was going to play a soft ballad on the piano!
