Hey everyone! Let me just make this very clear, what happens in this chapter in regards to the actual Glee characters (Kurt, Rachel, Santana etc.) is NOT canon and never happened in the actual series.
Kurt Hummel's POV:
Kurt pushed open the double doors to the school and entered the silent, empty hallway. He looked around for a moment before he started down the hallway. He pulled his cardigan tighter around him and stopped outside the choir room. Kurt peered inside and saw two men standing beside the piano. Just as Kurt was about to walk in, one man grabbed the other and they began kissing. Kurt was craning his neck to see who it was, as he couldn't see the men's faces. Unfortunately, Kurt tripped and landed on the floor with a loud thud. The two men spun around and Kurt gasped.
"Blaine?" Kurt asked, dumbfounded, 'Sebastian?'
Blaine shuffled his feet awkwardly while Sebastian smirked at Kurt and wrapped his arm around Blaine's waist. Kurt's stomach flipped.
"Uh, Kurt? Are you okay?" Blaine asked, stepping forward and offering Kurt a hand.
"I'm fine." Kurt huffed, ignoring Blaine's hand.
Kurt stood up and stared at the two men. He crossed his arms and tapped his foot on the ground, waiting for an explanation.
"What, Kurt?" Blaine asked.
"What's the meaning of this?" Kurt asked, pointing at Sebastian.
"What? I'm not allowed to date now?" Blaine screamed, throwing his arms up in the air, 'If I remember correctly, you're the one who called off our wedding!'
Kurt laughed, 'After I caught you in bed with that guy!'
"You're exaggerating, Kurt!" Blaine screeched, 'We were out all night and he lost his apartment keys, so I let him stay the night. Nothing happened!'
"I've heard that before." Kurt retorted.
Hurt flickered in Blaine's eyes and Sebastian stood in front of Blaine.
"I think you should just go." Sebastian said, narrowing his eyes at Kurt.
Kurt laughed, 'I was just leaving.'
Kurt left the room and he heard Blaine beginning to sob. Kurt hurried down the hall and made it halfway to the toilets before breaking down. He slid to the floor and buried his face in his hands.
"Kurt?"
Kurt looked up and saw Mr. Schuester walking towards him, a worried look on his face.
"Kurt, what happened?" Mr. Schuester asked.
"Nothing." Kurt replied simply.
Kurt stood up and walked away. He heard Mr. Schuester come after him and he spun around.
"I said nothing!" Kurt squealed loudly.
Mr. Schuester went stiff and he nodded his head before turning on his heels and walking away. Kurt pushed through the school's exit and ran to his car.
Why did he ever think he could do this?
Santana Lopez's POV:
Santana slumped into her chair in the auditorium next to Blaine. Blaine wasn't up for talking for some reason, so Santana had no idea why he was here. Mr. Schuester walked in and took his seat next to Santana. She noticed that he looked slightly pale.
"I've written the name's down of all of the sign-ups already," Mr. Schuester explained, handing Blaine and Santana a clipboard and a pen each, 'Just right some comments beside their names and then put either a tick beside their name or cross their name out, depending. Oh, and let them finish their songs.'
Santana nodded and Blaine grunted a reply.
"First person on stage!" Santana screamed so that everyone could hear her.
A girl with long, curly-brown hair walked onto the stage. She stood in the middle of the stage and beamed up at Santana, Will and Blaine.
"Tell us your name and what you'll be singing." Mr. Schuester said.
"My name's Lyssa Carrington and I'll be singing Undercover by Selena Gomez." The girl stated with confidence.
Santana groaned, 'I hate Selena Gomez.'
The music began and the girl began to sing.
"I look at you,
and all I wanna do is just disappear.
I got a craving for you, baby,
can we get out of here?"
Santana was blown away. The girl had a very strong voice and hit every single note in the song with perfection. When the girl finished, Mr. Schuester began clapping and Santana nodded approvingly. Santana ticked the girl's name and wrote a few short comments.
"Next!" Santana shouted.
Lyssa walked off stage and a girl with long, blonde hair walked shyly onto the stage.
"Uhm, my name's Ava Flores and I'll be singing On My Own from Les Miserables." She said.
"Oh, Ava, I couldn't find your name on the school register?" Mr. Schuester said.
The girl turned bright red and began to fiddle with the end of her dress.
"Uhm, I think my name is Thomas Flores on the school register." The girl mumbled.
Mr. Schuester nodded gently and Santana raised an eyebrow.
"This chick's a guy?" Santana whispered to Mr. Schuester.
"Does it matter?" He replied.
"She looks better than I do." Santana huffed, sitting back into her seat.
"Whenever you're ready, Ava." Mr. Schuester announced.
Ava nodded and the music began.
"On my own, pretending he's beside me.
All alone, I walk with him till morning.
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes,
And he has found me."
Santana liked her. Her singing voice was good, but that's not what Santana liked about her. She could her the pain and the true emotion in the lyrics.
Ava finished and walked off stage immediately. With a faint smile, Santana put a tick beside her name. Santana heard Blaine sniffle beside her and she elbowed him.
"Man up." She said jokingly.
Blaine glared at her and wiped his eyes.
"Next!" Mr. Schuester said.
A girl with wavy, dark-brown hair and wearing a Cheerio uniform strolled confidently onto the stage.
"I'm Avalon Brickstone and I'll be singing Who You Are by Jessie J." She announced.
"Wait, Avalon Brickstone? As in Brickstone Country Club? Wow, you must be filthy rich." Santana said.
"Santana!" Mr. Schuester scolded.
"You know, you don't look rich. I think it's the skanky-ass uniform. I swear, those skirts are getting shorter every year..." Santana continued.
A girl sitting with the other auditionees stood up and whirled around.
"Hey," the girl screamed and Santana looked down, 'Shut your face.'
The auditorium erupted into laughter and Santana glared at the girl in the crowd.
Before Santana could reply, the music began and Avalon started singing.
"I stare at my reflection in the mirror,
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf."
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the auditorium shifted from light-hearted and fun to serious and sad. Santana noticed that tears were starting to form in Avalon's eyes. Avalon finished the song and everyone stood up and began clapping and cheering. The pure emotion in Avalon's voice brought tears to Santana's eyes.
"Santana? Are you crying?" Mr. Schuester asked.
"What?" Santana said, quickly rubbing her eyes, 'No that just bored me to tears.'
She's definitely in, Santana thought to herself.
Blaine Anderson's POV:
Blaine hadn't paid much attention to the first three auditions. He was too busy thinking about Kurt. Seeing him again brought back so many memories; good and bad. But Blaine decided to take his mind off of Kurt by actually paying attention the auditions. After all, that's why he was here.
"Next!" Santana announced.
A slightly skinny boy with spiked-black hair shuffled nervously on stage.
"My name's Riley Slater. I'll be singing Blackbird by The Beatles." He said, barely audible.
The music began immediately and Riley began singing.
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise."
Riley's singing started off a little shaky, but it gradually improved throughout the song. Overall, his singing voice was good and Blaine liked the look of him, so he put a neat tick beside Riley's name.
"Next." Blaine said.
A tall girl with dirty blonde hair walked on stage next.
"I'm Sibyl Turner and I'm singing Royals by Lorde." The girl announced.
"I've never seen a diamond in the flesh,
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In a torn-up town, no post-code envy."
Her voice was okay, but Blaine had heard better. It took him a minute to decide, but finally he decided to cross her name out, and he noticed that Mr. Schuester and Santana did the same. Somehow, Sibyl knew that they'd crossed her names out, because as soon as she finished, she pleaded for them to give her another chance.
"Singing isn't my strong point. I prefer dancing! Can I dance for you?" Sibyl asked.
Blaine glanced at Santana and she opened her mouth to probably say no, but Mr. Schuester interrupted her.
"Sure."
Sibyl smiled and an up-beat song began playing. Sibyl began to dance and Blaine was blown away. She was almost as good as Mike Chang! When she finished, Blaine and Mr. Schuester stood up and clapped. Santana sat in her seat and crossed her arms.
Blaine put a huge tick beside her name and called the next person on-stage.
A girl wearing a leather jacket with ash-brown hair strut onto the stage.
"Valery Crane, Young Girls by Bruno Mars." The girl said simply.
Blaine nodded for her to begin and Valery took a deep breath before starting.
"I spent all my money, bought a big old fancy car,
For these bright-eyed honies
Yeah, you know who you are
Keep me up 'til the sun is high
'Til the birds start calling my name
I'm addicted and I don't know why
Guess I've always been this way."
Blaine was impressed. Her voice was great and she was an excellent performer. She seemed to draw everyone's eyes to her. Blaine put a tick beside her name.
Will Schuester's POV:
Will was very impressed. They have a good batch this year, and there's still more to come.
"Next!" Blaine called.
A girl with wavy, chocolate-brown hair wheeled herself onto the stage.
"Hi!" The girl said, smiling up at Will.
Will smiled back, 'Hey!'
"My name's Eloise Summers and I'll be singing Wings by Little Mix." She said cheerfully.
Eloise's positivity brought a smile to Will's face. The music began and the auditorium went quiet.
"Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And if they give you shhh...
Then they can walk on by!"
Eloise's performance was full of enthusiasm and Will could tell that she really enjoyed singing. He put a tick beside her name.
"Thanks for listening!" Eloise said, smiling widely.
Eloise wheeled off stage and the next girl walked on stage before Will could say 'Next'.
"I'm Tayla Mallory and I'll be singing Love You Like A love Song by Selena Gomez," The girl said, looking in Santana's direction, 'Because I know how much you love her.'
Will felt Santana tense up beside him and he had to bit his lip to keep him from laughing.
"It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now, here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with the best of 'em."
Will liked her voice. It was different. Also, she reminded him of a young Santana and although he never has nor will he ever admit it to anyone, he always found Santana's brutal honesty refreshing and hilarious. Will ticked her name.
"Thank you! Next!" Will said.
A short girl with a curvy body and dark brown hair walked on-stage. She looked around her nervously for a minute before taking a deep breath and looking up at Will.
"I'm Mira Magana and I'm singing the Grease movie theme song." The girl announced.
Will nodded and the all-too familiar music began playing.
"I solve my problems and I see the light
We gotta loving thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger, we can go too far
We start believing now that we can be who we are.
Grease is the word!"
Will was surprised at how powerful this small girl's voice was. When she finished, Will smiled at her and she blushed and hurried off stage. Will chuckled and ticked her name.
Will stood up, 'Okay, great work guys! We're going to take a twenty minute break and then we'll start again.'
Will left the auditorium, followed by Blaine and Santana.
Zachary Peterson's POV:
"Calm down! You're going to be great!" Zachary assured Austen.
"Did you see those auditions? I'm screwed." Austen huffed, entering the boy's bathroom.
Zachary followed him in and grabbed his arm.
"Look, I've been your friend for years. I've heard you sing, you're amazing! And you know that I never lie to you." Zachary said.
Austen smiled, 'Thanks.'
Austen wrapped Zachary in a hug. Then, one of the bathroom stalls opened and Blake Phillips walked out, zipping up his jeans. Austen pulled away from Zachary and Zachary raised an eyebrow at Austen's jittery behaviour.
"Am I interrupting something?" Blake asked, washing his hands.
"What? No! Of course not! I'm single." Austen blurted out.
Austen made a sound like a dying whale and ran out of the bathroom. Blake chuckled and Zachary stared at him.
"Is he always like that?" Blake asked.
"He's just nervous." Zachary replied.
Blake nodded and turned to face Zachary. Blake stared at him for a few moments and Zachary avoided eye contact.
"Yeah... I'm gonna go..." Zachary said awkwardly, turning to leave the bathroom.
"Wait." Blake said, grabbing Zachary's hand, 'Ehm, nevermind.'
Zachary tensed up and nodded stiffly. He shuffled out of the bathroom and found Austen standing outside.
"What happened?" Austen asked.
Zachary breathed out, 'Nothing.'
Part two of the auditions will be up next week! I hope you all enjoyed and please review to let me know how I got on:) Til next week!
