"What? I have to sing with tonight with her?" I hear Cally exclaim at me. Tonight was the Sectionals.

"We'd been practicing for a few weeks, and we have the songs down pat." Quinn says.

"Get up loser we are coming to my house to practice for an hour make sure you know the lyrics." She pulls me out the door. I sit awkwardly on her desk as we ran over the lines for the song. We were going to win this just by the power of our two voices. Gosh I sound like mum.

Watching the Warblers preform was scaring me a bit. They were good. Really good. We were 2nd and now sitting back stage. I fitted with my dress. It was a new addition to the Glee Club Wardrobe. (Picture ↑). I clicked my heels against the linoleum floor.

"Give it up for New Directions." I took. My place off the side of the stage waiting for my cue. Cally was to sing first because I wanted to save my voice.

Cally
[She sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style.
And they all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind.
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down.
Yeah, they're invincible, and she's just in the background.
And she says,

New Directions
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."

Loren
He sees them talking with a big smile, but they haven't got a clue.
Yeah, they're living the good life, can't see what he is going through.
They're driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going.
In the fast lane, living life without knowing.
And he says,

New Directions
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."

And they said,
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids]

The audience was hysterical with the clapping. The back curtian lifted and the others lined up for the dance number which Heather and Hazel were mostly singing with help from the more vocal.

Heather
You were walking on the moon, now you're feeling low
What they said wasn't true, you're beautiful
Sticks and stones break your bones, I know what you're feeling
Words like those won't steal your glow, you're one in a million
This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world

Hazel
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold

Heather and Hazel (Loren)
(Gold gold, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)

Hazel
When everybody keeps score, afraid you're gonna lose
Just ignore they don't know the real you
All the rain in the sky can't put out your fire
Of all the stars out tonight, you shine brighter

Heather
This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold

New Directions (Loren)
(Gold gold, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)
So don't let anybody tell you that you're not loved
And don't let anybody tell you that you're not enough
Yeah there are days that we all feel like we're messed up
But the truth is that we're all diamonds in the rough
So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen inside and out
You glow like the moon, you shine like the stars
This is for you, wherever you are
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh,
You're gold
This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
(So hold your head) So hold your head up high,
It's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold gold you're gold)

Cally
So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen inside and out]

We waited while Vocal Adrenaline went. They weren't as good I mean who does a straight medley of Ariana Grande songs. We were lined up along the stage waiting. All of the New Directions hands interlocked.

I was holding Cally and my mom. Who was the director of the club.

"In 3nd place: From Carmel High Vocal Adrenaline." They frowned and sulked.

"In 1st place: From McKinley High School in Lima Ohio The New Directions." We started screaming.

"We just won." I heard around me,
