Max has gotten extremely clingy and annoying lately. During lunch she glued herself to my arm and refused to let the flock sit anywhere else but the table in the back where no one sat. Then during biology, she threatened the teacher so she can be partners with me. I swear if she ever found out I like her cousin, we would have to put her in a mental hospital.

"Oh, Nick!" Max called me over to her. I groaned.

"What?" I headed over to where she sat in the gym during P.E. She sat next to a girl who had really long brown hair and looked rather annoying and loud. Kind of like Nudge.

"This is Rachel Berry. She is in the Glee Club." And at that point, I completely tuned them out. I was right. Rachel Berry is very loud and annoying.

"So Nick? What do you plan on singing for auditions." Rachel snapped me back into their conversation. I just shrug.

"I'm not sure." I know exactly what song I am going to sing.

IN THE GLEE CLUB

I followed the rest of the flock into the Glee Club room rather reluctantly. Even Max had the look of uneasiness on her face. If you ask me, Max can't sing worth crap. The room was filled with chatting teens and excited faces. At the front of the room was Mr. Schu writing something on the whiteboard. After Max cleared her throat to make our presence noticed, he turned around with a warm smile. A little to warm for my taste. I began taking note of all possible exits, and anything that can be used as a weapon. Surprisingly there were many things. Joy.

"Welcome! You must be the new recruits! I am Mr. Schuester, but you can call me Mr. Schue, and welcome to auditions for glee club. Who would like to start us off." Angel immediately grabbed Gazzy and pulled him to the front. This should be interesting. "Whenever you're ready." Angel then whispered something to the band and they began.

ANGEL:

I'm the cute one. It's obvious.

GAZZY:

There's no comparing the two of us!

(Mary Kate and Ashley I'm the Cute One)

As the kids finished there was a large round of applause from their adorable performance. I have to say that was pretty cute. Nudge stepped up next as the siblings sat next to Max.

"How can you see into my eyes like open doors?"

Nudge has a beautiful voice but refuses to sing at times. She has convinces herself that she has a terrible voice, but I know underneath that babbling mouth of a girl is a small quiet less annoying shy girl. Fuck I am so gay...

Once Nudge finishes there was an even louder applause. Even I applauded! Iggy stepped up.

"I used to rule the world. Seas would rise when I gave the word. Now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own." I saw some girls fawn all over him. If only they knew he was blind. At one point he began facing the wall and I head to step up and turn him the right. This made some people confused. Once he finished, there was a huge round of applause. Then when he want to take a seat, he went right past the risers.

"Wait Ig-!" Too late he hit the wall face first.

"GAH! That really hurt!" Nudge grabbed his arm and led him to a chair. I guess it's my turn.

I stood up there and pretty much froze. I couldn't move. I couldn't tell the band what song to play. I couldn't even breathe. I froze. Then I spot a jet back electric guitar and grab it. Finally something I know. I begin to strum and the band follows.

"The secret side of me

I never let you see

I keep it caged

But I just cant hold it"

I lose myself in the music. The glee kids begin to clap to the beat.

"I feel it deep within

Its just beneath the skin

I must confess that I feel like a

MONSTER"

The music faded as it was replaced by clapping and a standing ovation followed by whoops and hollers. I smile widely and most of the flock just stared at this random and rare display of emotion. Finally Max was up.

Now if I could describe to you Max's singing, I would, but sadly it is quite impossible to describe the pain the ensues when she opens that mouth of hers. Sure she can be quite good with words but once it comes to carrying a tune, you better put some cotton in your ears. But. But this time something was different. She of course wasn't as great as the rest of the group but it was decent. Either I am tripping as Fuck, or Max has actually figured out how to make a normal sounding melody come out of the death trap she calls a mouth. I don't mean to sound... well like a jackass but usually her singing is like this: imagine Michael Jackson... now divide that by twenty then imagine a goat sound and times it by two. That is Max's singing in a nutshell.

Everyone was clapping when she was finished but not as enthusiastic as everyone else's.

"Thank you!" Mr. Schue then stepped up as Max sat down. "The Ride-Martinez family... Welcome to Glee club!" I made my famous sideways smile while everyone else cheered and hollered, then Mr. Schue quieted us down. "Now now the first competition is coming up in just four weeks and we have to be ready. The theme for this week is heavy metal/rock music. Starting tomorrow through Friday I expect everyone to have one heavy metal piece and to perform right in front of everyone else. Any questions?"

Brittany of course raised her hand. "Does it have to be heavy metal? Because I can't carry anything that's over fifteen pounds."

What the hell goes on in that blonde's brain?
