I BARELY KNOW YOU ✸ Jesse St. James

november 15th

I got chills they're multiplying, and I'm losing control, cause the power youre supplying, its electrifying

the new boy sang,

you better shape up

Rachel took the lead, walking towards the boy, eyeing him as the other five stood back harmonizing.

cause I need a man, and my heart is set on you

she pointed, causing the brunette to grow frightened,

you better shape up

she ran her hands across Ariela's neck causing her to swat them away and send her a threatening glare, she didn't notice,

you better understand, to my heart I must be true

she continued,

nothing left, nothing left for me to do,

you're the one that I want

they both sang,

Mercedes took it in her power to split the duo up, "oh hell to the no! look, im not down with this background singing nonsense. i am beyonce, I ain't no kelly rowland."

"okay, look Mercedes, its just one song."

"and its the first time we've been kinda good." Kurt spoke,

Ariela rolled her eyes, "I have the voice of Amy Whinehouse, okay? i need somewhere to sing, and this background shit isn't working for me. the only reason I'm in this stupid thing is that you made me join!"

"only because you have potential-"

Ariela cut him off, "yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, let those two continue, just shut up."

"hey guys, so this is supposed to be our 'competition' but, uh, I honestly don't think they've got the talent that we've got. but lets be a good audience, all right? give 'em some of that good ol' Mckinley High respect." Mr Schuester said, they nodded,

"ladies and gentleman, please give a warm buckeye state welcome to last years regional champion, Vocal Adrenaline!" the man announced over the intercom, everyone sat up in their seats, preparing, though, Ariela remained a slumped posture, applause filled the room as the red curtain opened,

They tried to make me go to Rehab
But I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to Rehab
But I won't go, go, go

I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventy days
'Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to Rehab
But I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to Rehab
But I won't go, go, go

The man said "Why you think you here?"

I said "I got no idea"
"I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby"
"So I always keep a bottle near"

He said "I just think you're depressed"

"This me, yeah baby, and the rest"

They tried to make me go to Rehab

But I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, knowI don't ever want to drink again
I just, ooh I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
And have everyone think I'm on the mend

And it's not just my pride

It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to Rehab

But I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to Rehab
But I won't go, go, go!

the group finished, leaving Ariela stunned, "they were really fucking good."
