y/n pov:

Being the lead in a school play was something I've always wanted. Sure, it's not a big deal on a long hall, but it would be a fun experience. At least from what I've heard from stars such as Rachel Berry, it would be a fun project where I could express myself.

And this year, the play was Alice in wonderland. Suitable for little kids but also something the adults would enjoy. And the cast would enjoy.

I loved performing but the nerves I would get before that and the relief that I would get afterwards, were sometimes through the roof. It felt like I didn't have much power over it and a lot of the times it would get the best of me.

But this was my shot to show this new group of people that I was worth it and that my feelings would not get the best of me. And so I signed up to audition.

I walked to the stage of the auditorium, when I heard my name being called. I had picked up a script before this so I was confident on how this would go.

"Whenever you're ready" I heard Artie say from the crowd, where he was sitting with Mr. Schuester.

And after those words, it hit me. The panic that I would not crush this like I thought I would, I would embarrass myself and end up being the loser I was for the rest of the semester. My palms felt sweaty and I'm pretty sure I was going red. My breathing deepened and I had to take a step back. 

"Y/n? Everything alright?" I heard Artie speak once again. I tried to put on a smile as I nodded towards him and then quickly ran backstage. Luckily there weren't any people there so I felt comfortable breaking down so suddenly, but mostly felt terrible.

From the corner of my eye, I saw a guy walk towards me. I didn't bare to look up at him since my eyes were possibly red and puffy now and my face was burning red. "Hey, it's y/n, right?" he spoke.

I lifted my head up and I saw the face of that tall figure. It was Finn Hudson. The star player in our school's football team and the leader of the glee club. 

I couldn't help but only nod rapidly. I'm pretty sure I let out a quiet "yeah" too. "I'm Finn" he spoke, with a soft smile.

"Yeah, I know" I said and it came out kind of mean. I expected him to walk off then and there but instead, he chuckled. "Look, you're nervous. I get it."

"Yeah, I chickened out, that's what happened." I snapped once again. I was overwhelmed already and it didn't help that I was now talking to a cute guy with my face looking like a mess.

He shook his head. "No, you're just scared. I get the same feeling too, occasionally."

"You? The star of this whole school? Really?" I said. 

He nodded slowly. "Sometimes it gets hard when you have a lot of irons in the fire, trust me." I managed to put on a little smile because of that. Maybe I wasn't entirely alone. 

"Now, come on. You want this part?" he continued. "Let's go get it."

I crossed my eyebrows. "Wait, we?"

"Yeah, I can read with you. It won't be so scary that way." he smiled. "I'll be the Cheshire Cat and you'll be Alice."

"Okay" I whispered slowly. I took his hand and we walked back to the stage. Finn took the microphone and handed it over to me. "Okay, take two" I started awkwardly. "I'm y/n and I'll be reading for the role of Alice."

"Great, you may begin whenever your ready" I heard Mr. Schuester speak.

The next ten minutes were a whirlwind. I didn't feel much nerves at all and it felt like I was on autopilot. It really helped to have someone there with me, it seemed to calm me down. And me and Finn worked great as a team. I had never talked to him before, because it seemed intimidating but there we were working in perfect harmony. And I'm not even sure how!

So as you could imagine, we crushed the audition and I felt so relieved when it was over.

The rest of the week, I felt excited and I was eager to see the cast list once it's posted. Sure, my nerves got to my head at first but Finn helped me through it. And we didn't really talk after the audition.

I'm sure he felt our connection too, but he hasn't brought it up ever since. Mostly it just was smiles and waves and occasional hello's here and there.

They posted the cast list a few days after and I was excited to check it out. There was a crowd of people by the notion board and I did recognize a few faces such as Santana, Kurt, Tina and Mercedes. Some of them turned to look at me when I came by. And that was a good thing, right?

Well it seemed to be, because there it was, written down:

Y/n L/n as Alice

I let out a laugh. It was mostly because of a relief but I was also really happy. This would be my time to have friends or at least some people that would be there for me.

I saw Kurt come over to me. "Congrats Alice, welcome to the club" he chuckled.

I couldn't help but smile at him. "Thanks!"

I heard the bell ring and I realized I was already late for chemistry. I started walking towards the lab when I felt a hand touch mine from behind. I turned around and I was met face to face with one Finn Hudson.

"Hey y/n, or should I say Alice?" he chuckled.

"Oh so now you're talking to me?" I laughed. He was kind of being a jerk to me but something about him still lit a fire inside of me.

"Yeah, sorry I haven't got a chance to talk to you. I'm pretty sure Rachel's in love with me or some sort. She wont let go of me" he said, nervously.

"It's okay" I said. It really wasn't okay, but I didn't want to start a fight. "I don't think I ever said formally thanks to you for helping me out there."

"It was no big deal" Finn smiled. "It's what friends are for, right?"

Friends.

My eyes widened. "Yeah, friends."

In a small period of time, I had taken a bit of an interest in him. I'm not sure you could call it a crush, but I thought we were at least more than friends.

I got lost in his eyes for a moment and I really thought something was going to happen, but I snapped out of my thoughts. "I gotta get to chemistry, I'm already late"

"Yeah, go do that Alice" he smirked. "I'll see you in rehearsal" he said, before walking out of my sight.

Well as much as it hurt not to have him like me back, at least I had a friend now. Someone to trust.
