Chapter Six

Jake POV

I sat in the auditorium with the rest of the Glee Club and Mr Shue, waiting to judge the students that were about to audition. I sat with Artie and Sam, keeping my distance from Kitty and avoiding eye contact with her. God, she was seriously getting clingy now and I just couldn't be asked with her today.

I was looking forward to this audition, because I knew who was coming up next.

After watching Jessica Nelson ruin a Mariah song, Erik Brooke destroy an awesome Ed Sheeran song and Sofia Fuck-knows-what-her-last-name-is high pitched version of a Kelly Clarkson hit… Adam was next.

I wasn't sure Adam would come to the open audition, especially since we haven't talked that much and that's why I did a double take when I saw his name on the sign up sheet.

I've realised how stupid I was being before and Adam was a decent guy, maybe one of the few guys at this school I actually wanted to be a friend. I put my attraction to him down to not being able to get any action, which also reminded me I had to hook up with any girl fast.

Mr Shue went through his notes and then turned to the stage, calling loudly:

"Next!"

Adam walked onto the stage, looking fucking terrified and I mentally crossed my fingers that he was a good singer.

"Hey, I'm Adam Jensen," Adam said nervously into the microphone "and I'll be singing Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik."

"Oh my gosh!" Tina whispered in a hushed voice and I glanced at her to see her staring at Adam with wide eyes "He's so cute and he's British, that's extra hotness!"

I rolled my eyes in exasperation, forcing my snigger to become a very convincing cough and turned my attention back to Adam.

"Okay, Adam… when ever you're ready" Mr Shue said encouragingly.

Adam nodded, taking a deep breath and he glanced in my direction. I gave a reassuring smile and winked and I couldn't help the feeling of delight when he grinned back at me, but I didn't read too much into my satisfaction about a smile and focused on the performance as the music started.

Adam: I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear. I only taste the saline. When I kiss away your tears... You really had me going, Wishing on a star. The black holes that surround you, Are heavier by far...

I couldn't keep the grin off my face as I realised that Adam wasn't just a good singer, he was fucking brilliant! His voice was so soulful and it had an edge to it that would put him in a category with me, Blaine and Ryder. I looked at Mr Shue to see him beaming and all the others had similar looks on their faces, except Kitty who glared at Adam in annoyance.

"Damn, he's sexy!" Unique whispered with a smirk, checking out Adam and Tina nodded in agreement with her mouth slightly open in shock.

"No, he's not" Sam snapped bitterly and I chuckled, he definitely didn't like girls checking out a guy that wasn't him.

"Yes he is!" Blaine said with a sly smile, watching Adam and I had the sudden urge to leap off my chair and punch him. I could see what he was doing, his boyfriend Kurt dumped his ass and was now seeing someone in New York (who just happened to be called Adam and was British as well, was I the only one who thought that was creepy?) and now he wanted to use my buddy as a rebound… like fuck he will!

I glared angrily at Blaine, my hands curled into fists and hated the way he looked at Adam with that arrogant smirk. Since Kurt broke up with Blaine, Blaine had gone from self-pitying to a rebound player and now it looks like he had his eyes set on Adam.

I wasn't jealous, but I was definitely going to look out for my friend and I wasn't going to let anyone hurt him. I closed my eyes, letting Adam's singing calm me and I looked up to see him finishing the song and bowing his head awkwardly with a small grin.

I was the first one to my feet, clapping and cheered Adam with a huge grin on my face. I gave Adam the thumbs up and was glad when Mr Shue gave his approval and said he'd be in touch soon. Which meant he was definitely in the group. I got out of my chair and hurried out of the hall, wanting to give Adam my congratulations.

I met Adam in the corridor at his locker and patted him on the back, wrapping an arm around his shoulders.

"Well done, buddy!" I said cheerfully "you were awesome!"

"Cheers," Adam said, pulling away from my arm and turning to face me with a grin "thanks for the text."

I shrugged, I knew he was talking about my apology but I knew I needed to man up and say it to his face.

"Look, I'm sorry I was being a dick last week," I said sincerely, shoving my hands awkwardly into my pockets "I was just pissed off and it had nothing to do with you, I swear"

"I didn't lose any sleep over your bad attitude," Adam chuckled and pulled his rucksack onto his shoulder and the he added in a joking voice "but you were clearly trying to tug at my heartstrings by saying that you wanted a mate to hang out with, you obviously can't live without me."

"Piss off!" I laughed, punching Adam playfully on the shoulder and he chuckled, shaking his head.

I was starting to really like hearing Adam's laugh and it was so comfortable being in his company, he was great… in so many ways.

"Hey, do you want to go to BreadStickz for lunch?" Adam asked and my smile faltered, wishing I could give a different answer.

"I'm hanging out with my girlfriend Kitty, so I can't" I mumbled and then gave a hopefully smile "maybe next time?"

"Yeah, sure… no worries" Adam shrugged and gave a genuine smile, before shaking my hand street style and leaving.

At Kitty's house, we went straight to her bedroom and got down to business with no messing around. I tried to ignore the fact that there was no intimacy, no passion and no romantic… it was just about a release with a random kiss here and there, but our sex life felt more like a routine and it was over within minutes. We got dressed, neither of us speaking and headed back outside and into my truck, but I couldn't ignore the emptiness in my stomach… this relationship really meant nothing.

Once we were driving back to school, I turned to Kitty and finally told her what I should have weeks ago… this relationship wasn't working and we should end it.

Adam POV

I entered Mr Shue's office the following week and was surprised to see three other students sitting opposite his desk. One was a tall black girl who was really pretty and had a short pixie haircut, the other girl was a shorter red-haired girl with her long hair pulled back into a ponytail and the last was an Indian guy with an athlete's build.

Mr Shue grinned when he saw me and motioned for me to walk into the room and I stood next to the black girl's chair.

"Okay, everyone is here," Mr Shue said brightly, looking very excited and introduced each person, starting with the girl I was standing next to "Okay Adam, this is Amanda, Bella and Ethan… guys this is Adam"

"Hey!" Amanda grinned brightly and I gave a small smile in return, feeling slightly relieved that I wasn't going to be the new person in Glee today.

Bella gave me a small wave with a shy smile and Ethan and I nodded to each other in greeting, but he gave a friendly smile as well. All of them looked around my age, possibly sixteen or seventeen.

These guys seemed really nice and I was glad that they seemed like genuinely cool people, who I'll probably get on with well.

"Nice to meet you," I said to all of them and turned back to Mr Shue, who beamed with pride.

"Right, lets go meet the group!" Mr Shue said cheerfully and we followed him into the corridor, heading towards the Choir Room.

Amanda hurried to walk beside me and grinned excitedly at me, her words suddenly bubbling out of her in a rush.

"OMG! I heard your audition," Amanda said happily "you were really good, like really good!"

"Thanks," I said, slightly amused by her excitable personality. Was she always this hyper?

Before she could say another, a tall woman with short blonde hair, wearing a red track suite and a frown on her face rounded the corner and stopped in front of Mr Shue. She looked at me and the other students with a look of contempt before turning to the teacher in front of us.

"Well, well Will," the blonde woman said, smirking at Will and crossing her arms over her chest "just when I thought we had heard the last of your little club of misfits, you surprise me again and give this school more reason to despise the Arts"

The woman looked a little familiar… have I seen her on TV?

"Sue, this seriously has to stop," Mr Shue said in exasperation and my mind clicked as I suddenly remembered who she was. Sue Sylvester from that News Channel where she has her own corner, I think it's actually called Sue's Corner (very creative title, hardly!).

"I will stop trying to destroy your little club when you stop using twelve bottles of hair product in your hair," Sue said in disgust "I can smell you from down the corridor and it makes me physically sick that your hair gel is polluting the air we breathe!"

Her attention finally went to us and she rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"And you honestly think you'll win anymore trophies without your mini Broadway Star with this lot?" Sue asked in irritation, then putted at Amanda, Bella and Ethan with a sneer "Alicia Keys, Adele and Jay Sean rejects?"

"Excuse me?" Bella gasped, looking hurt and tearful and I glared at her. This woman had some serious attitude problems!

Sue noticed me for the first time, looking at me with a quizzical expression.

"Who are you?" she demanded and I raised my eyebrows in surprise before glaring at her.

"Adam, I'm new here" I said simply and she sniggered with a sly grin.

"Ah, we have the official male version of Hermione Granger," Sue said in a deride voice "I would have thought that a person from Her Majesty's country would have better sense than to join the Glee Club, but clearly Granger here has proved me wrong"

What?! Of all the British people or characters to compare me to it had to be a female character from the Harry Potter books? Don't get me wrong J.K. Rowling is one of my favourite authors, but I'm a bloke and it is an insult being compared to a girl.

Sue smirked at Will before turning to the rest of us.

"I'd suggest you get out of the Glee Club now," Sue said simply "because by the time I'm finished it'll be long gone."

She stormed past us and out of sight. The woman may be a rude bitch, but she sure as hell knew how to make her presence known. Mr Shue mumbled his apologies before leading us into a room filled with twelve other students sitting in a line of chairs at the other end of the room and Jake was amongst them. My nerves that had vanished before, had returned as I realised I would be singing in front of these people and I still wasn't confident with my singing voice. Jake beamed when he saw me and I felt more relaxed knowing that he was here and I grinned back.

"New Directions," Mr Shue announced proudly "meet our new recruits!"
