It had been a couple of weeks since Sebastian had become a member of the New Directions and he had no idea what to expect because he knew that it would be completely different from Dalton Academy as it was an all boy school. He sat at the back of the class next to Blaine who was sitting close to Kurt as he had his hand placed on his arm softly and their shoulders touching.
Santana sat between Puck and Brittany where she sat close to him with his arm wrapped around her neck. Brittany sat slumped in her chair staring off into space and waiting for Mr Schuester to walk through the door for their daily meeting. Sebastian glanced over to the side to look at the both of them cuddling up to one another, with a quick snarl and a glare he turned away from them and folded his arms across his chest. And with that Mr Schuester walked through the doors of the choir room carrying his usual leather satchel over his left hand shoulder and walked over to the piano. He took it off his shoulder and placed it down on the piano, he spun around on his heels and clapped his hands together as he faced the rest of the New Directions.
"Okay guys," Mr Schuester chimed, "I know all of you guys are excited for the Sections in a month's time and we've been working really hard for our performance but you know what time of year it is. It's time for the school musical."
"Wooh!" The New Directions cheered and clapped their hands together.
"And of course," Rachel boasted, "I'm gonna be getting the lead because I get the lead all of the time."
"Don't make me wanna strange you, Berry," Santana snarled, "Because you're not the only person who can sing in this class."
"Santana's right," Mr Schuester agreed, "We have a whole group of us here who have amazing voices which means that you don't automatically get the school musical."
"But Mr Schue," Rachel whined, "I have to get the lead in the musical, you don't understand, I need to be the lead because it needs to go on my list so that I can go to Nyada. Nyada needs that which means that I have to get the lead in the school musical so that I can perform on Broadway to be like the great Barbra Streisand."
"You know," Santana snarled, "All I heard there was me, Nyada, Broadway and Streisand like all we've heard the entire time we've been in the Glee Club."
"You have no idea how selfish you are, Rachel," Tina commented, "Santana's right, we are a group and we all have the chance to be the lead in the school musical."
"It's not the Rachel Berry show," Sebastian sneered, "That's all it's been since I got here and we need a change."
"But what about me?" Rachel whined again, "I have to do this for my future."
"Again it's all about you," he snarled, "You make everything about you. This is a club. This is a group which means that it's about all of us, not just you. So, if somebody else wants to be the lead in the musical then they can be and there's nothing you can do about it."
"Finally," Quinn agreed, "Somebody has finally told her the truth. It's about time."
"But I want to be the lead in the musical," Rachel moaned childishly, "I want to be the lead in the musical."
"You know what I learnt in life," Sebastian told her, "Even coming from a rich guy like me, you don't always get what you want, so you know what, Rachel, get over it."
Pouting like a spoilt child and folded her arms across her chest, she huffed angrily and like a child she frowned at everybody in the room.
"Okay," Mr Schuester spoke, "That's enough. I agree with all of you that we all have to audition for each of the roles, and with all of you fighting it just shows that you're all passionate about it and you don't even know what the musical is yet."
"Let me guess," Santana sneered, "It's something that Rachel Berry would be perfect to play the lead role in."
"Actually," Mr Schuester replied, "It's a musical that any one of you could play the lead in." He clapped his hands together, "Okay, so the musical that we're gonna be performing this year is... wait for it...Moulin Rouge!"
All of the New Directions clapped their hands together, cheering, whooping and some punching their fists into the air.
"Now that's what I'm talking about," Kurt chimed, "That's ours," pointing to both him and Blaine, "Favourite musical."
"It's mine too," Rachel exclaimed, "But nobody cares about that, do they?"
"Seriously?" Sebastian asked Kurt, "Is that all she talks about?"
"Pretty much," Kurt whispered and nodded, "Yeah."
"Jesus," he responded by shaking his head at her.
"So," Mr Schuester told them, "I'm not gonna be directing the school musical this year because I want to concentrate on the Sectional's with you guys, so I've asked Coach Beast and Miss Pillsbury and of course, I want you, Artie," he gestured towards him with both of his hands, "I want you to help out with the school musical, that is, if you want to."
"Me, Mr Schue?" Artie asked pointing to his chest, "You want me to help out with the school musical?"
"Yeah, of course," Mr Schuester replied, "I mean, don't you want to become a director, hasn't it been your dream to direct?"
"Of course," he smiled, "But I never thought that I would have the chance to do it now."
"So," Mr Schuester asked him, "What do you say? Do you want to do it?"
"Hell yeah," he yelled with a smile.
"Excellent," Mr Schuester smiled and clapped his hands together, "That's great. Now auditions will be tomorrow after school in the auditorium and the signup sheet will be outside this door. So, don't be shy and when class has finished, go and sign up on the sign sheet and make sure you write down your character you want to audition for."
As the bell rang for the end of the class Rachel Berry shot up from her sheet, grabbing Finn's hand and rushing out of the choir room towards the signup sheet hanging up outside of the door. Still sitting in her chair in the choir room, Santana noticed her rushing out of the room and she shook her head at her.
"Can you believe it," Santana said to Puck, "She thinks that just because she's the first person to sign up for the role she thinks that she's gonna get it."
"She most probably will," Puck admitted, "Since when hasn't Rachel gotten the lead role in the musical?"
"Don't you think that I could get the lead role?" She asked him.
"I never said that," he replied, "I just said that she's obviously gonna get the lead role because you do remember what happened last year with West Side Story, it was between her and Mercedes and Mercedes gave up the role because nobody wanted to hurt her feelings."
"Well," she barked, "I don't give a damn about her feelings. I'm going for the lead role and she can moan and cry all she wants about it, but I aint giving up that lead role without a fight." She stood up from her chair and spun around to face him, "And if it means wiping the smug look off Rachel Berry's face then so be it, because for once, I don't want everything to be about her."
"But you know that it is gonna be about her," he replied, "Everything is about her. She may be little miss nice, but she's selfish and will make sure that she gets the lead role."
"So," she asked him as she folded her arms across her chest, "You don't think that I'll get the role of Satine then?"
"Babe," he responded, "Don't get me wrong, because you have an amazing voice but you're gonna be up against Rachel and you're not gonna win against her."
"Why not?" Sebastian interrupted.
"This doesn't involve you, Sebastian," Puck shot at him, "So, why don't you mind your own business?"
"No," he replied, "I just don't understand why you don't think that she won't win against Rachel? Is it because nobody will say no to her?"
"Yeah," Puck shrugged, "Pretty much."
"Well, if you ask me," Sebastian said to her, "I think you'd be a much more perfect Satine than Streisand." He leaned down to grab his backpack before slinging it over his left hand shoulder, he stood up and faced the both of them shrugging his shoulder, "But that's just my opinion." He jumped off the step onto the ground and followed both Blaine and Kurt out of the classroom. Santana turned back to look at Puck and she shook her head at him.
"You're supposed to be my boyfriend," she told him, "And you don't think that I'll get the role. You're supposed to support me no matter what. I thought you were a badass."
"I am," he replied quickly.
"You sure fooled me," she sneered. She turned on her heels and took a step down one of the steps and headed towards the door of the choir room before turning around to face him. "I didn't take you to be a coward, Puck," she shrugged, "Obviously I was wrong." She then turned back on her heels before exiting the choir room. Puck stomped his foot on the ground and shook his head.
Standing by the signup sheet, Sebastian wrote down his name on the signup sheet with the name of the character he wanted to audition for the role of, 'Christian'. As Santana walked out of the room she noticed him writing on the signup sheet, she took a step towards him.
"Who are you auditioning for?" She asked him curiously.
"Who do you think?" He replied.
"You're not just signing up to be him so that you can be with me more?" She questioned him, "Are you?"
"Actually," he responded as he dropped the pen that was hanging up by a piece of string, he turned his body and looked down at her, "I was actually signing up for the role because he's the lead and you know that I like to be the centre of attention." She looked at him and then at the signup sheet. "Remind you of somebody?" He smirked. She snapped her head towards him quickly with a raised eyebrow. "Just saying," he shrugged before turning on his heels and slowly started to head down the school hallway towards his next class.
"And don't bother to try and defend me again," she called. He stopped in his tracks and smiled to himself, "I can handle myself," she finished.
"Don't I know it," he smirked before carrying on walking down the hallway towards her classroom. Santana smiled to herself before turning to face the signup sheet, she wrote her name with the name 'Satine' next to it. She wanted to get this role so badly, not only because she would be the lead role in a school musical, but because it would mean that for once Rachel Berry didn't get her own way.
She finished writing her name on the signup sheet and she dropped the pen down as it carried on dangling next to the signup sheet. Puck walked out of the choir room and noticed her, he took a step towards her.
"I am no coward," he told her, "You know that I want you to get the role but that doesn't mean you will, I'm not the one that's on the panel."
"Whatever," she shrugged before turning on her heels and heading down the hallway towards her next class, Puck stayed in the same spot and watched her walk down the hallway before disappearing around the corner. He shook his head with anger and frustration before turning on his heels and heading down the opposite direction still shaking his head with anger and frustration.
