Both Kurt's and Rachel's NYADA auditions coming up in a few short days, and the entire Glee club seemed to feel the pressure they were under. Keilani had spent hours in the auditorium with Blaine, working with Kurt on what was probably the biggest audition of his life. She especially didn't mind the fact that Rachel had been on vocal rest, and as a result, had barely spoken a word the entire week.
Sitting cross-legged on one of the plastic chairs in the choir room, Keilani made sure that her skirt was properly adjusted before she dived into her book. Before she could get too into it, however, Keilani felt an arm wrap around her shoulder, and she looked up from her book to see Sam grinning down at her.
"Ella Enchanted again, Lani?" Sam teased as he grabbed the book out of her hand. "I've seen you read this so many times I think you're about to memorize it at this point."
"I haven't memorized it yet." Keilani rolled her eyes as she tried to reach for her book. "Can I have it back now?"
Sam stretched his arm so it was even farther above his head. "You know, I don't think I will."
Ignoring this, Keilani decided the more effective option was tilt her head up and kiss Sam. "Do I get my book back now?" She asked with a grin once they pulled apart.
Rolling his eyes playfully, Sam handed her back her book and wrapped his arm back around her shoulder again. Keilani smiled up at him before comfortably resting her head on his shoulder and diving back into her book again.
That peaceful moment didn't last for long, however. It took Keilani a few seconds to notice how unusually quiet the choir room had gotten. Sam seemingly didn't notice this either until Keilani raised her head and nudged his foot with hers before gesturing around to the New Directions members, who all seemed to be staring at the couple with their jaws dropped to the floor.
Kurt was the first to speak up. "What the hell was that?" He questioned, pointing back and forth between the couple.
"Two people kissing..." Sam answered almost as if it was a question, confused as to why everyone in the New Directions were so focused in on him and Keilani.
"Since when did you two kiss?" Tina asked, still staring wide-eyed at the pair.
"Since we started dating–"
Keilani didn't even finish the sentence before the Glee club exploded.
It had never crossed her or Sam's mind to tell the New Directions what had happened in the auditorium a few days before. Plus, Keilani thought that with Nationals and graduation coming up so soon, nobody would be too concerned with the fact that her and Sam were a couple.
