Chapter 3! I might not keep writing this, I don't feel like it fits the Glee theme. Lemme know if you want me to keep writing it!
Don't freak out, Alexa. Don't get too nervous. Just- sing. It's what you do. She had been repeating this over and over in her head for the past 20 minutes. She had to perform in from=nt of the whole freakin' glee club in a few minutes. What if they didn't like her? What if they hated her? What if-?
"Alexa Davis? Come with me." It was her Spanish teacher, Mr. Shuester.
"So, Alexa, what will you be performing for us today?"
"If its all right with you, Mr. Shue, I'd like to dedicate this to my brother in law, who has just been shipped out to Iraq. The song is called "My Hero" and its by the Foo Fighters."
"Take it away!"
The music started, and she closed her eyes to get in the zone. Show time, she thought.
Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
The rest of glee cub was stunned into silence. Tristan had suggested this song, and now she was gld that he did. They were obviously impressed by what they had heard.
"Welcome to New Directions!" Mr. Shue exclaimed loudly. Everyone in the room cheered, except a certain blonde haired girl in the back. Alexa hadn't even relaized that Sydney was there, and angry. In fact, Sydney was fuming.
What's the ginger doing here, auditioning for MY glee club? Sydney wondered. I mean, she's a new kid. New kids never have the guts to get up in front of people and perform, let alone do it so well.
She heard the door open, and she glanced up, only to see Tristan talking to the band, and Mr. Shue trying to get everyone to be quiet so he could sing. She gaped. What was he doing here?
That's when he started to sing. The song wasn't his usual style, but it sounded good on him. Very good, indeed, she thought, surprised.
My mama told me when I was young
Said sit beside me my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day
Oh, yeah it will
Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget that there is a someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
And be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
Then you can
Don't get your lust from the rich man's gold
All that you need now is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby if you try
All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
And be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
If you can
Oh, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby if you try
All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
So baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?
Sydney was staring. She had no idea he could sing like that. She had never been to one of his band's shows. She just assumed that he was background vocals, but with a voice like that, he had to be the lead singer. She clapped and cheered, knowing without a doubt that he was now the male lead of New Directions. Adam would not be happy.
Oh, Adam, she sighed. You're so cute, and if I wasn't with Tristan, I would definately be with you. Actually-
Sydney's thought was cut off when The Ginger sat down beside her. Ugh, what was her name? Oh yeah, Alexis or something. Maybe I should talk to her, Sydney thought.
Sydney never had time to make that decision, because Alexa looked over at her and gave her the brightest, warmedt smile she had ever seen.
"Hi Sydney! I didn't know you were in glee! This'll be so fun, we can sing together and dance and... and... and everything! Wow! Seriously though, isn't it a good thing Tristan auditioned? He's-"
"Do you ever shut up?" Sydney asked harshly.
"Oh, yeah. I'm just hyper. Performing does that to me. I get jittery. Sorry. But seriously, we should hang out or something."
Sydney was caught off gaurd. She didn't expect Alexis (Alexa, Alex, whatever), to be so nice to her after she had treated her like dirt.
"Um- sure. I mean, why not?" she stuttered out. "It'll be fun."
Little did she know that Alexa had something up her sleeve.
Songs used were My Hero by the Foo Fighters and Simple Man by Shinedown. Thanks for reading!
Much love, Omnom :)
