The next day at school I saw the bulletin board with all the extra curricular activities. There was all sorts of activities such as the AV Club, Art Club,Yearbook Committee,The School Newspaper Committee, The cheerleading team called 'The Cheerios' (wow they actually call themselves that, that's pretty lame) and heaps more. I decided to sign up to the girls volleyball team called 'The Vipers' (apparently we get Letterman jackets) and of course The Glee Club. I saw Luke signing up too so I went up to him and said,

"Hey Luke what are you signing up for?" I asked.

"The football team of course, what about you?" He replied.

"Oh you know just the girls volleyball team" I said rather abruptly.

"Anything else?" He questioned.

"Nope that's it" I lied.

"Emma I can tell when you're lying, your cheeks go red and you don't look me in the eye" He yelled.

"Ok ok I signed up for the Glee Club" I said quickly.

"Glee Club Emma? Really?! Don't you remember what I told you? I've seen those Glee kids, they get slushed by jocks just about every day" He yelled.

"Well I love to sing, and you can't stop me so if you will excuse me, I have to go to my locker now" I said rudely as I pushed past him.

The next day was the big audition. I went to the Auditorium at 3:30, I saw a few familiar faces backstage like Marley, Ryder and Jake. There were also two kids I think I may have seen before. There was the blonde Cheerio, Kitty I think her name is, and a black guy dressed in girls clothes for some bizarre reason.

I walked up to my friends and said, "Hey guys good to see you here".

"Hey Emma, nice to see you too", Marley, Ryder and Jake said in unison.

I walked up to the blonde Cheerio and introduced myself.

"Hi I'm Emma I think I've seen you in my Home Ec and Spanish classes", I said introducing myself.

"Yeah I've seen you around, I'm Katherine but you can call me Kitty" she said loudly.

"Nice nickname, why do you call yourself Kitty? Do you like cats?" I questioned.

"Nope because I'm feisty like a cat!" She smirked.

"Well ok then", I said in a confused tone.

I then walked up to the black guy and introduced myself.

"Hi I'm Emma I don't think I've seen you around before, what's you're name?" I asked politely.

"Well most of the time I'm Wade but today I'm Unique. You see sometimes I don't feel like myself in boys clothes, but when I'm Unique I feel different and more confident. Everyone at my old school picked on me for that but I heard McKinley is very accepting" He explained.

"That's really nice, I admire you for that" I said nicely.

"Thanks", he replied with a smile.

Just then Sam walked backstage and said,

"Ok guys we are auditioning in alphabetical order according to last name so Wade.."

"Unique" he interrupted.

"My apologies, UNIQUE will be auditioning first so place your self accordingly and break a leg", Sam said confidently.

Sam winked at me just as I was leaving I blushed a little. Ryder looked a little jealous I think he may have a crush on me. So we placed ourselves in and because my last name starts with R that meant I was second last before Marley.

One by one everyone auditioned and then it was my turn.

"Emma Reynolds" Mr Schue called out my name.

"Break a leg" said Marley.

"Thanks you too" I said with a smile.

I walked onto the stage as the lights blinded me.

"Umm...Hi I'm Emma Reynolds. I've prepared a song on the piano today, is it ok if I use it? I asked.

"Go right ahead", said Mr Schue.

"Thanks it's an original song called 'Gonna Be Okay' it's about helping out a friend who has depression. I wrote it for my Grandpa who suffers from depression.

I sat down at the piano and set up my sheet music and began to play.

Verse 1: You're waiting for these battle scars to heal you're trying to show the world just how you feel

Pre Chorus: Many fights ahead many treacherous journeys but you'll never reach the finish line while you're travelling with me

Chorus: Hey hey you're gonna be okay nobody said it was easy just take my hand I will guide the way you're gonna be okay it's gonna be okay

Verse 2: You feel like your skin is paper everyone tears you down you should really try not to frown

Pre Chorus: Your life feels like a war but wouldn't you want something more you see a darkness in the valley but I found a light at the end of the tunnel

Chorus: hey hey you're gonna be okay nobody said it was easy just take my hand I will guide the way you're gonna be okay it's gonna be okay

Bridge: You feel like you're falling from cloud nine but I know your gonna be just fine with bumps and bruises along the way I will catch you on a bed of roses

Chorus: hey hey you're gonna be okay nobody said it was easy just take my hand I will guide the way you're gonna be okay it's gonna be okay yeah it's gonna be okay

"Thanks Emma, we will post the list out tomorrow", said Sam.

"Thank you", I said quietly.

I went backstage to quickly see Marley.

"Wow Emma! You were amazing, I didn't know you wrote your own songs", she screamed excitedly.

"Umm...yeah I've written a few", I said nervously.

"Oh my God! Me too! We should write one together", she said loudly.

"Umm...maybe, I will see you tomorrow Marley, I've gotta meet Luke and walk home together", I said.

I met up with Luke and we walked all the way home together.
