09. Just Another Girl.

Ryan

The next day I came across a part of the school I hadn't seen before. I'd found the auditorium. The place reminded me of back in NY. The stage. The lights. The seats for the audience. Why hadn't I found this sooner. I'd only stumbled upon it when I'd found a sign up sheet on the notice board in the hall.

GLEE CLUB.

I can't say I'd ever heard of a Glee Club. But immediately I wanted to check it out when I saw the word Auditions. It seemed like an old sign up sheet, but piqued my interest none the less. So I'd wandered the school trying to find it. When I rounded the corner, and walked through the double doors at the back, there was a girl on the stage with the most powerful soul voice I'd ever heard coming from a 16 year old. Behind her was maybe 8 or 9 others. It looked like they were all in the middle of a performance, and with the lights shining down on the group of teens, It gave me the perfect chance to look at the entire group, without them being able to see me properly.

I saw a kid I'd seen in the hall getting picked on by Karofsky from the football team. A few kids I'd seen in some of my classes. But what surprised me the most was seeing all of my old friends in the miss matched group. It just didn't add up to me. Here was some kids I'd probably say were nobodies in school. People who kept to themselves. Yet there was some of the schools elite right there with them. A football player and Cheerleaders all singing in harmony with the so called 'nerds' of the school. What was I missing here? Since when did they like to sing anyways. And why hadn't they said anything this past week?

I moved further in from the back and sat in one of the very back seats watching the rest of the performance. Hoping that nobody sees me.

I was then drawn to a brunette girl when she started to sing. I'd never heard a voice like it. she was incredibly talented, but the way she performed it I felt like she knew that already. She had this air of confidence about her. Or you could call it arrogance I suppose. She seemed to love the spotlight. When Finn joined in with her, something didn't sit right with me. The way that they were performing with each other. The way they were interacting and acting during the song. It seemed too real and too genuine. But last time I checked Finn was with Quinn. Not this Girl. And unless Finn has become a talented actor too in the three years I haven't been here, then something was off here. Very off. What is going on here?

My eyes drifted to Quinn just off to the side from Finn, and I watched as she seemed to notice what I had too. The way her eyes flicked over and lingered on the pair. I knew she was thinking the same. What is happening here? The song suddenly came to an end, or at least it did for me, as before I knew it a guy stood up from the seats at the front and clapped. It was my Spanish teacher. Mr Schuester, I think. So he runs this too? He stopped clapping and regarded the group.

"It was good. Rachel I need you to tone it down a little on the high note, and work a little more in harmony with Finn." He said to the brunette girl. Okay so this girl is called Rachel. Good to know. "Britt, Mike. I need you guys to spice up the choreography, we need this to be perfect." He said. He went on to give more pointers and I thought that was my time to get out of there before I was spotted.

I saw Rachel again during that afternoons practice for football. I was out on the field where the team were about to start a practice game when I looked over at the bleachers to see her sat watching. She knew one guy from the football team, and I was fairly certain she was here to see him.

Anyhow, seeing her again and thinking back to the performance I'd witnessed that morning. It got me thinking about things. About the Glee Club, and my home. Well my home for the last three years anyway and NYC in general.
