I'm feeling really inspired by Glee today. Who else loves Glee?

Tris

Today is the day of the Winter Showcase, only the most prestigious performers are chosen for the annual Juilliard competition. For some reason, I was chosen, and tonight I sing in front of the professors and students. (Forgot to mention Tris sings too, it will be her major) Four is also in it, performing some kind of monologue. There are almost two hours till it and Christina is supposed to make me up.
"Tris!" I gulp, part of me thinks this is worse than the showcase.
"Let's get this over and done with."
"That's no attitude for the future showcase winner."
She begins to curl my blonde hair.
"Woah, I'm not going to win Chris. Four will probably win."
"I thought he won last year. And how was your date? Did he sweep you in his arms?"
"Something like that. I sort of fell off a ferris wheel and he saved me."
"OMG, that's so romantic."
"Chris, I could have died!"
"Yeah, but you must of liked him, being all heroic."
"It was kinda hot."
"So what's the deal with you two?" I consciously brush my hair with my fingers but Christina swats my hands away.
"I don't know…I really like him, but I don't even know why he would like me, he's the most talented and hottest guy in Juilliard."
"Dude, he kissed you!"
"I know, but what if it's a joke, or he doesn't think I'm pretty or-"
"Calm down. I was talking to Uriah, whose brother's with Zeke, whose best friends with Four. And I know for a fact, that he's damn head over heels for you." She rambles. I smile.
"You really think so?"
"I know so." She squeezes my shoulders. "Ok, hair and makeup done. Time for the dress!" She squeals, and runs to the cupboard. After a while of rummaging, she brings out a gorgeous blue, long flowy dress with sparkly bits on it. She helps me into it and I turn to the mirror, Chris bouncing behind me. "I love it, you look amazing, so amazing! Now go kick some ass out there!"
I hustle out the door and make my way to the hall. I'm sitting in the waiting room, with the other performers, waiting to be called in. There are dancers in elaborate costumes, musicians tuning and other singers like me, testing their vocal range. I sit back and huff. I'm not nervous but I'm not comfortable. I just want to sink back into bed. I see him walk in, with confidence, not arrogance. Oozing a warmth and electricity that I'm sure I can only feel. He keeps his eyes locked onto mine. A smile stretched on his face.
"Hey number boy." I smile at him.
"Hey, wow Tris…you look…stunning." He smiles shyly. A tannoy goes off in the waiting room. "Maria Bascaloni to the wings please."
"I'm up next," I say, the nerves getting to me.
"You'll be amazing. Tris, there's something I want to ask you."
"Go ahead."
"Ever since I met you, I've been feeling so…happy. I think you're the most amazing girl and-"
"Beatrice Prior to the wings please."
"Oh, well here goes nothing. Sorry Four, I'll speak to you after yeah."
"Yeah, good luck."

I feel bad for leaving Four but now I need to focus on my performance. I walk onto the stage in front of hundreds of people. I take a deep breath and the piano begins.

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down

I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'til I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won't bring me down

Unlimited (unlimited)
My future is (future is) unlimited (unlimited)
And I've just had a vision
Almost like a prophecy
I know it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday I'll be...

Flying so high! (defying gravity)
Kiss me goodbye! (defying gravity)

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately,
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"

I'm defying gravity!
And you won't bring me down!

By the end I'm panting and staring wide eyed at the audience. Suddenly they erupt in applause and cheers. I am laughing under my breath, speechless. I gesture to my accompanist, Christina and we both bow and walk off.
She sqeals, "OMG Tris, they loved you. You were amazing. Broadway is just gonna pick you up, you know I heard there were some talent scouts." She rambles.
"Oh my days Christina calm downnnn."
After several more performances, including Four's amazing and heart wrenching monologue, Max stands to the front and speaks
"Well done to all performers, tonight you all showed exemplary talent, to the highest standard in each division. Without further ado, I will announce the runner up first. The runner up to the Winter Showcase is, Four Eaton." Cheers are echoing through the hall, and I squeeze his hand. He smiles at me and jogs over to the stage and holds up his runner up trophy.
"First place winners have always gone on to do great things. Now the winner tonight is someone who none of us expected to shine, yet here she was stunning all of us. Tris Prior."
I gasp, shocked.
"Tris, you did it! Go up and collect your prize!" I am so stunned, I get up and stumble over, my jaw open.
"As the winner of this years winter showcase, we award Tris Prior with this trophy and generously given to us by our governors a two bedroom house just off the campus of Juilliard." He hands over the keys and I can hear Chris squealing so loudly, knowing she will move in with me. The applause is still surrounding me and I feel I'm in a dream. Max carries on talking about previous winners blah blah blah, but I feel Four's hand snake around my waist and whisper in my ear, "Tris Prior, will you be my girlfriend?" My jaw falls open once again, and I'm speechless. I can't explain how I feel, like fireworks are being lit inside of me. I press my lips to his and soften at the touch. It was a gentle but passionate kiss and the fireworks were going off everywhere inside of me.
"Yes, I would love to." He smiles, and we both look up to realise everyone is staring at us. Four coughs and says, "Okay, that's a wrap, have a wonderful trip home, hope you enjoyed it, yup, bye!" We slowly edge off stage, grinning all the way.
