BEEP
BEEP BEEP! My morning alarm screams as I wake from my sleep. I roll over, groaning as I hit it hard to kill it's noise. It is my second day at my new school - William McKinley High School. My first day was ok , I mean - I didn't speak to anyone... sort of just kept my head down. My task now is to make friends or at least to talk to someone today, what could go wrong? I only have 20 minutes before I need to leave so I pull on my outfit and do my makeup, I can't be looking too bad for school.

HONK, the car horn. My mom's driving me and she has to get to work - I don't want to be late. I pull on my purple zip up hoodie and throw my backpack over my shoulders and get on my way.
The halls are busy, loud - too loud. I continue pacing the corridor, looking at my feet, to find my locker as I get lost in the endless walls of the school. Each hallway looks the same as I feel like I'm walking in circles.
I feel my books drop to the floor, "Hey watch were you are going!" I look up to see a dark haired cheerleader. Her hair is slicked back into a ponytail and her makeup is flawless though she looks angry, "I know you did that on purpose," She mutters "just don't touch me again." Her blonde companion pushes me to the side, slamming me into some lockers. They walk away, laughing as i feel hopeless. I scramble to pick up my dropped books as I see another hand reach out to grab them. I look up, a brunette girl wearing a red cardigan and white shirt with a matching headband smiles at me as she begins to gather my things,
"Hey, I'm Rachel." She beams.
I stay silent.
"I suppose i need no introduction, I mean I'm sort of a celebrity around here. I'm president of 12 clubs and most known for my hard work and dedication to Glee Club. Did you know I'm gonna be on Broadway?"
I blink at her overwhelmed then remember that I have to actually speak, "Oh hi, nice to meet you. I'm new so I don't think I know you yet. What is Glee club?" I blurt out.
"Oh yes! Glee club is not only the best club in this school, though the Cheerios will say otherwise, but it has tons of experiences. We are a show choir group called the New Directions. We are actually looking for another member as we only have 12 and often there is some sort of fight involving someone leaving..."
God she talks a lot.
I stare at her hard, I love singing and music - probably the only thing I know well. "Sure... I'll join."
"Perfect!" She grabs my hand and pulls me into a room which is only a few classes down from my locker.
I gaze into the open room. Red chairs stack on the steps and there is a piano in the centre along with other instruments. A blonde girl wearing the same uniform as the other cheerleaders, this time looking friendlier, waves at me and smiles. I quickly sit down on a chair next to a boy with short, dark hair. He is tall and has his arms folded. He leans over and whispers in my ear "Hey, I'm Finn. Are you new?"
I smile and whisper back "Yeah, just moved here. My name is y/n"
"Nice too meet you y/n."
He sits back in his chair and watches as the piano plays it's melodic tune and Rachel bursts into song. She sings a beautiful song from Les Mis; her voice captivating, mesmerising. I get lost in her song - she's an amazing singer. I slowly get lost in my own train of thoughts until I feel Rachel take my hand and pull me up to the piano.
"Alright everybody! Meet y/n. She's new to the school and is hoping to join Glee club," there is a cheer and applause from around the room, "Now, y/n, do you want to sing us a song?"
Panic washes over me, I feel sick and my legs tremble. I haven't sung in a while though I love musical theatre.
"Uhm-" I can tell I'm visible nervous. My eyes dart around the room as Finn gives me a sympathetic look, he can tell i'm nervous.
"Sure... I'll sing Defying Gravity. It's like the only song I sing in the shower..." Everybody turns, shocked and looks at each other. Loud mutters sound and echo in the room.
"Alright, some silence please." Mr Schuester ( also my Spanish teacher) says
The piano begins to play and i sing the song. As I sing I feel Rachel's eyes burning into my soul giving me a fierce look. When the song ends the rooms bursts into an applause though Rachel sits there with a blank expression on her face.
"Welcome to The New Directions!" Mr Shue exclaims.
