A/N: Hello everyone! Thank you all for the amazing reviews! You guys always make my day : ) so by popular request I'm going to try and make this chapter longer! Hope you all like it! Oh and I'm throwing in a little twist, just a heads up!

Disclaimer: Yes I do own Glee and the Glee Project or was that a dream… Oh yes that was a dream *sigh*…

Damian knew he was going to be sat by some bully, or some kid that copied his work. He shifted nervously waiting to be called on.

"Damian McGinty. You will be right here." She stated smiling.

He nodded and made his way to the dead center of the room, his new found friend Alex was sitting in the back corner. There was no one really around him yet. He hated being the new kid, especially in a whole new country. He had to admit he missed Derry, but he had to leave for a reason and he knew he wouldn't be going back; not now at least. He hated bottling up his emotions, but he was starting new. He just had to keep this hidden.

As Cameron Mitchell waited to be seated, he scanned the room. He didn't want to be too close to the front because people threw things at you; he learned that in middle school. He saw Marissa the girl he's been crushing on since gosh knows when, sitting next to the heartbreaker Bryce from middle school; Cameron wasn't very fond of that guy. He saw firsthand that guy was a jerk, especially to girls.

"Cameron Mitchell. You'll be next to Damian." She smiled pointing to the desk next to the brown haired kid.

He nodded and made his way to his desk a few kids whispering nerd on his way there.

He sat down remembering sitting next to the kid earlier, so he introduced himself.

"Hey. I'm Cameron." He smiled stretching out his hand.

"Hi. I'm Damian." He said shaking Cameron's outstretched hand.

"Are you an exchange student?"

"Yes. I just moved here from Ireland."

"That's cool. How are you liking America?" He asked

"I like it. It's different from Ireland; much hotter. Does it rain here?"

"Yeah. It rains probably three to four times a week." Cameron said looking out the

window at the incoming clouds.

Their conversation ended when Mrs. Baxter spoke up.

"All right class. I'll give you the rest of the time to get to know the people around you. Stay in your seats please." She smiled walking to her desk.

Of course she puts me in front of a tall person, Matheus thought angrily. He hated being the short kid. He could go up and tell the teacher but he was afraid he would be picked on, so he just sat up straighter and hoped for the best.

The bell rang and the kids piled out of the room.

"Hey, Damian." Alex smiled walking up to him.

"Hey, Alex. This is Cameron. Cameron this is Alex." He stated.

"Hello, Cameron." Alex said shaking his hand

"So are guys going to join Glee club?" Alex asked excitedly.

"What's Glee club?" Damian questioned while making their way out of the room.

"Social suicide." Cameron stated.

Alex stopped in his tracks and put his hands on his hips. "It is not social suicide. It's a club were you sing and dance and have fun."

"I'm not good at singing in front of people." Damian said.

"Oh come on, just try out." Alex pleaded.

Cameron and Damian glanced at each other.

"Hey, Cameron!" Came a perky voice.

He turned around and came face to face with Marissa. "Oh hey." he smiled.

She reached for a pen and signed her name on the Glee form.

"Are you going to sign up?" she asked holding out the pen.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I am" he smiled taking it and signing his name.

"Awesome, see you in auditions." she smiled nervously walking away.

"Okay. Bye." he called, smiling dreamily.

"That's the only reason you signed up isn't it?" Alex asked.

"What? No. I was going to anyway." He said smugly.

"Sure…" Damian said quirking an eyebrow.

"Excuse me." Came a voice, they recognized her from their homeroom. She signed her name, smiled, and walked away.

Damian grabbed a pen and signed his name.

"Don't say a word." he said walking in the direction of his class, his two friends laughing behind him.

"Come on Kynleigh. Please sign up? It'll be fun; I signed up." Marissa pleaded to her friend at lunch.

"You only signed up because Cameron was standing by the signup sheet and you thought he was going to." She said rolling her eyes.

"That is soooo… true." She sighed. "However, I was planning on it anyway."

McKynleigh looked at her friend who was making puppy dog eyes. "Fine, fine. I'll do it" she laughed.

"YES!" Marissa exclaimed.

Matheus and Samuel stared at the signup sheet.

"My mom is making me do at least one activity. Why not Glee" Matheus shrugged taking out a pen.

"I don't know Matheus. I'm not that great." He frowned.

"Well, doesn't hurt to try." he said holding out the pen.

"Why not." he shrugged, signing his name.

As they turned around they came face to face with a blue syrupy liquid.

"Losers." The guy yelled running away laughing.

The boys groaned and wiped the slushie out of their eyes, making their way to the restroom.

Hannah walked through the hallways; walking slowly to look at the activity boards. She wanted to get involved in something. She stopped at a big blue cork board with tons of

papers tacked up. One caught her eye. Glee club.

Why not? She thought, signing her name. She smiled and walked off.

Ellis was in the cafeteria until someone ran into her and she spilt her food all over herself. She thankfully got all of the nastiness off. She walked through the slightly empty hallways when a sign caught her eye. Glee club, she thought excitedly. Just what she needed; she loved to sing and she needed to make some friends.

*The Next Day*

Will was pleasantly surprised that he got twelve signatures right off the bat; he was excited to see how they did. He entered the theater where auditions were held and called out the first name on the list.

"Alex Newell?"

"Hi, I'm Alex and I'll be singing Bad Romance by Lady GaGa." he smiled grabbing the mic.

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Roma-roma-mamaa!Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!

Want your bad romance, I want your ugly, I want your disease.

I want your everything, as

long as it's free. I want your love!

Will was taken aback by his powerful voice. It reminded him of Mercedes Jones: loud, powerful, and he owned it.

"Wow, Alex. That was fantastic! You're definitely in. Practice is after school at 3:00 in room 115." He smiled.

"Thank you so much!" He exited the stage happily.

"Next!" Mr. Shue called.

"Hi, I'm Bryce Ross-Johnson. I'll be performing Just the way you are by Bruno Mars."

Her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining.

Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying.

She's so beautiful. And I tell her everyday…

Yeah, I know, I know.

When I compliment her she won't believe me. And it's so, it's so.

Sad to think that she don't see what I see. But every time she asks me

"Do I look okay?" I say.

When I see your face!

There's not a thing that I would change,

'Cause girl you're amazing,

Just the way you are!

And when you smile. The whole world stops and stares for a while.

'Cause girl you're amazing.

Just the way you are.

"Awesome job, Bryce. You made it. We meet every day after school at 3:00 in room 115." He smiled.

"Yes! Thank you so much." He exited the stage confidently.

A few other kids went on that didn't make the cut. Then came out Lindsay Perce; the next Rachel Berry.

"Hello, I'm Lindsay Perce. I'll be performing Taking Chances by Celine Dion" She stated.

Don't know much about your much about your world,

but I Don't want to be alone tonight,

On this planet they call earth,

don't know about my past,

and I don't have a future figured maybe this is going too maybe it's not meant to last,

But what do you say to taking chances,

What do you say to jumping off the edge?

Never knowing if there's solid ground below

Or hand to hold, or hell to pay, What do you say, What do you say?

Will was taken aback. His mind flashed to the day he meet Rachel Berry. This girl was definitely going to be her. Oh Joy.

"Fantastic job. You remind me of another student of mine. You're in. We meet every day after school at 3:00 in room 115."

She clapped happily. "Thank you." She exclaimed running off the stage.

"Hi. I'm Marissa. I'll be singing Pinks, Please Don't Leave Me."

You say I don't need you But it's always gonna come right back

It's gonna come right back to this

Please, don't leave me

Please don't leave me, oh no no no .

I always say how I don't need you

But it's always gonna come right back to this

Please don't leave me Baby, please, please don't leave me

"Wow, Marissa. You put a lot of emotion into it. Great job. You made it. We meet every day after school at 3:00 in room 115." He said happily.

"Thank you!" she said, walking away smiling.

As all the other kids went he finally found his new Glee club, consisting of twelve fantastic singers: Alex, Bryce, Lindsay, Marissa, Cameron, Damian, McKynleigh, Matheus, Samuel, Hannah, Emily, and Ellis.

He was incredibly excited to get started and incredibly nervous for all the hardships these kids will have to go through to get what they want. It won't be easy, but no one said it would be.

The Next Day

The twelve kids piled into room 115 and sat on the red chairs. It was a small room; it had a piano in the corner and a white board with the word DUETS on it. The kids starting talking about if they were going to have to do duets.

"Good afternoon, everyone." Mr. Shue exclaimed, walking into the room hands full of sheet music.

They all mumbled a "Good afternoon."

"So, welcome to Glee!" He said excitedly. "We're going to start getting ready for sectionals. We're going to be competing against a group from Dalton Academy called the Warblers and another group called Vocal Adrenaline."

Damian raised his hand. "Um, what are sectionals exactly?"

"Whoa. Cool accent" Hannah exclaimed.

"Thanks." Damian laughed.

"Well, Sectionals is where we compete with other schools in Ohio and they judge us on who's the best. If we win, we go to Regional's and compete with a lot of other schools in the region. Then, if we win that we go to Nationals. So basically, we're competing against schools to see who's the best. My old Glee club won sectionals but we didn't win Regional's because of a black mail, but I won't go into that. Then we came in twelfth place in nationals. However, this year we're going to go bigger and better." He said happily.

The class nodded. "So, today your assignment is duets." he said tapping his knuckles against the white board.

"You guys are all fantastic singers. But we need at least two main leads. That is why I'm doing this. So, I'm going to have two hats one with all your names and another hat with some random songs." He said grabbing the two hats off the piano.

"Hannah. Come up and pick a name." He said.

She happily walked to the front and grabbed two strips of paper.

"I got Alex and River Deep, Mountain High." she smiled.

She walked backed to her seat and gave Alex a high five.

"Alright! Samuel, come on up."

"I got McKynleigh and the song Lucky." he stated, walking over to her seat and smiling at his new partner.

"Marissa."

She was hoping to get Cameron as she stuck her hand in the black hat.

"Damian and… A Whole New World." She said, feeling satisfied. He had a killer voice.

She walked over and sat next to him.

Cameron felt a tinge of jealousy but willed it away. Nothing will happen between them, it's just a homework assignment… he thought, and besides, he and her aren't even together, so he shouldn't care! But still he liked her and hoped nothing would come of it.

He was startled out of his thoughts by his name.

"I got Cameron and Total Eclipse of the Heart" Lindsay said, walking over to Cameron.

Damian, do not get jealous. You don't even know her; she probably doesn't even like you, he thought, looking at Lindsay and Cameron.

"Matheus." Mr. Shue called.

Matheus walked up and reached into the hat. "I got Ellis and (I've Had) The Time of My Life."

He walked over to her and smiled.

"Ok, and it looks like Bryce and Emily. You guys will be partners and your song is No

Air." Mr. Schuster said, setting the hats down.

"Okay guys. Here's your sheet music. We will be performing tomorrow, so be ready!" he smiled.

The students nodded and started talking to their partners.

"So Damian, do you want to come over and we can practice?" Marissa asked, grabbing her purse.

"Sounds good." he smiled.

The two walked out of the room and into Marissa's red slug bug convertible.
