THE NEXT GENERATION OF GLEEKS
Chapter 5
"Hey Daniel…" Skylar smirked, bouncing in front the taller boy's locker.
"Er…hi?" Daniel cautiously replied and the blond boy smiled, kindly.
"Are you shy?" he grinned, "Well don't worry, I won't bite!" Skylar placed a hand on the boy's shoulder and Daniel looked down at it in alarm.
He quickly removed his hand and said, "Do you want to work with me for our Glee Club project?"
Nervously scratching behind his ear, Daniel said, "Sorry, Skylar. I'm er…thinking of asking someone else. Not that I don't appreciate your offer, I just… think that this person's voice suits me better."
Nodding his head, Skylar sighed and said, "Your loss, sweetie." He strolled away, replacing his face of hurt with a mask of confidence.
"Hey Nat!" Peaches excitedly bounced up and down in front of the startled boy.
"Hey, Peaches," he grinned warmly down at her whilst a certain Asian looked on with concern.
"I was wondering if you'd want to work with me on our Glee assignment. Well? What do you say?"
Giving her a sympathetic look, Nat replied, "Sorry! No can do I'm afraid: me and some of boys have decided to a do a big group number."
Not bothering to show her disappointment, Peaches pouted and said, "Ok… Peaches sad. But next time we have a duet competition, do you promise to go with me?"
"Ok course!" the boy closed his locker and said goodbye.
As soon as he was gone, Vera rushed up to Peaches and said, "What was that?"
Shrugging, the red-head merely replied, "I asked him to do the competition with me. He declined but said that we can do the duet together. Deal with it."
She strutted off before Vera could reply with a bitchy comeback.
"Okay guys!" Will began. "Who has a number to show us?"
"Oh we do, don't we Peaches?" Vera snapped and the other girl curly nodded.
"Great, off you go then!"
Spoken;
[V]; Excuse me, can I plz talk to u for a min?

[P]; Huh, nono he's mine
*Chorus*
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sry that you
Seems to be confused
He belongs to me
THe boy is mine
[M]; I think it's time we got this straight
Sit and talk face to face
There's no way you could mistake
For your man- are you insane
[P]; You see I know that you maybe
Jus a bit jealous of me
Cuz your blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me
[V]; You see I tried to hesitate
I didn't wanna say wt he told me
He said wifout me he couldn't make
It through the day- ain't that a shame
[P]; & Maybe you misunderstood
Cuz I can't see how he could
Wanna take his time and that's all so good
[V]; [The boy is mine]
Because my love is all it took
*Chorus*
You need to give it up
Had about enough(Enough)

Seems to be confused(Confuse)
He belongs to me(nono)
The boy is mine
[P]; Must do the things you do
Keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
And if you didn't know it girl- it's true
[V]; I think that you should realize
And try to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside
[P]; You can what you wanna say
What we have you can't take
From the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake
[V]; When will you get the picture
You're the past, I'm the future
Get away it's my time to shine
And if you didn't know the boy is mine(the boy is mine)
*Chorus*
You need to give it up

Seems to be confused(seem to be confuse)
He belongs to me(he belongs to me)
THe boy is mine(the boy is mine)
[V The boy is mine
The two girls worked their way to the front, staring at Nat the whole time. He looked uncomfortable as all eyes were on him.
When they finished, everyone politely clasped and the cheerleaders walked to their seats.
"Think about who you want, honey." Vera winked at him and Nat stared awkwardly at the floor.
"Er, Mr Shue? Me and Daniel have a number!" Blair declared and the whole Glee Club turned around and stared at the skank.
"What? A skank and a nerd? I never thought I'd see that!" Chantel laughed along with the others and Daniel frowned.
"Wasn't the point of the assignment to work with people who you don't know?" he announced. "I asked Blair because yes we are different. But why should that stop us from becoming friends. People say that opposites attract, right?"
"Wait, so you two are dating now?" Jim chuckled.
Blushing furiously, Blair spat, "No! We are just friends. Anyway, I hope you enjoy our song."
And with that, she grabbed the nerdy boy's hand and dragged him up to the front.
(DANIEL) If anyone asks
I'll tell them we both just moved on
When people all stare
I'll pretend that I don't hear them talk
(BLAIR) Whenever I see you I'll swallow my pride and bite my tongue
Pretend I'm okay with it all
Act like there's nothing wrong
[Chorus](BOTH)
Is it over yet
Can I open my eyes
Is this as hard as it gets
Is this what it feels like to really cry
Cry
(BLAIR) If anyone asks
I'll tell them we just grew apart
What do I care if they believe me or not
(DANIEL) Whenever I feel your memory is breaking my heart
I'll pretend I'm okay with it all
Act like there's nothing wrong
(BOTH) [Chorus]
(BOTH) I'm talking in circles
I'm lying, they know it
Why won't this just all go away
(BOTH) [Chorus]
The two singers found themselves staring at a room of faces streaked with tears and high-fived. Skylar looked down to the floor and wiped his eyes.
"Wow." Will cried. "That was… beautiful guys. Well done. Anyone else?"
"Yes," Trey started. "Some of the boys decided to get together and we decided on this song."
Trey, Nat, Jim and Skylar all stood up and positioned themselves around the room. Nat was on the drums, Skylar on the bass, Jim on rhythm guitar and Try on lead.
Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all
But you never give
Should've known you was trouble
From the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open?
[Pre-Chorus:]
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love
Is all I ever asked
Cause what you don't understand
Is
[Chorus:]
I'd catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
"Fantastic job, guys! We'll continue with them tomorrow, so you're all dismissed"
Chantal stood up and whispered for Bryony and Jenna to come over.
"Girls, I think we should sing a song together. We've got country elements from Bryony, rock elements from Jenna and classical from me. I think we just need a girl with a pop voice and then we'll be set. Any ideas?"
"Okay, who said I even agreed to this?" Jenna hissed, slumping in her chair. "No offence Chantel. But I just zone out when you open that hole of yours."
Rolling her eyes, Bryony said, "Well Sydney Garcia said that she might come today."
Snorting, Chantel said, "Yeah! Like SYDNEY GARCIA would come and join Glee Club!"
"Why?" came a voice from the hall way. "Why couldn't I join?"
There stood the head cheerleader as beautiful as ever.
She sauntered in and sat next to the ginger haired girl.
"I would like to join."
"What's in it for you?" Jenna declared, angrily.
"I like singing and dancing like everyone else here. Is that a good enough excuse?"
Jenna shrugged.
"So…" Chantel began. "What song are we going to do?"
