Infuriated

We all sit in our seats in the auditorium, ready for Regionals. The girls are wearing black dresses with gold lining and gold headbands while the boys are in black shirts and pants with gold suspenders and gold bow ties. I sit between Finn and Rachel, with Blaine just behind me.

,,And now, let's meet our judges for the Midwest Regionals! Deputy zoning commissioner Melba Jackson-Wright!" The crowd starts to clap whenever Melba stands up from her seat. ,,President of the Ohio plumber union local 109, Mr. Harl Beindorf!" Once again applause. ,,And central Ohio's number one late-night horror movie host, Svengoobles!" The announcer declares, now people around me get out of their seats and start to cheer and clap. I laugh as Blaine scares Kurt but then squeals when Finn grabs my shoulders and boo's all in my ear. ,,And now, from Westerville, Ohio. The Dalton Academy Warblers!" 

During the song, Finn gets us all to stand up, even getting another opposing show choir up with him as well.

,,Thank you," Sebastian says. ,,just a reminder to please make a donation to one of our charity baskets. We're set up all around the auditorium. Just look for the Dalton blazer. Please, give what you can." Sebastian finishes his sentence before singing the next song. 

The show choir that was sitting behind us, went up on stage now, ready for their turn.

,,And now, from our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow high school, the Golden Goblets!" 

,,Those Golden Goblet madrigal singers were way better than I thought they would be." Puck says when we are backstage, getting ready for our performance.

,,Are you high? I couldn't hear their instruments at all." Brittany exclaims with a sour look on her face.

,,All right guys, listen up. Don't let them get into your heads, okay? Stay focused on what we do best." Mr. Schue says, trying to be motivational.

,,Being over-dramatic?" I say, putting my hand up.

,,No, Quinn, singing." Mr. Schue says, hopping down from the piano stall he is standing on. ,,Okay, show circle time. Come on, let's huddle up!" He says, gesturing for us all to come together. ,,Okay, Finn. You wanted to start us off?" Mr. Schue says, putting his arms around Rachel and Blaine.

,,Yeah, I want us to perform up there for Beca. She always loves this kind of show, so she can show off her mashups but she's still missing and we all miss her. I hope she's safe and will come back eventually. Life's too short and we have to keep living like every day is our last." There are a few claps and 'whoops' from within the group.

,,Come on, bring it in!" Mr. Schue says and we all put our hands in the middle.

,,For Beca!" We shout, throwing our hands in the air before going onto the stage. My eyes find Marley, Jesse and Stacie in the audience who are all three holding up their phone's. I'm happy that they are filming every performance because that way Beca can watch them too.
