The new kid

Chapter 2

At school the next day I walk into glee club and sit down. I feel kind of left out today. "Hey you okay Dani?" Someone asked. "Uh yeah. I'm-I'm fine." I stuttered. "Are you sure? You don't seem like it? I'm Kurt by the way." He said. "Hi Kurt. I just haven't been having the best few months. It's nothing serious. I'm fine. I promise." I smiled at Kurt. "Good morning guys. Don't forget, solo auditions are tonight at 5, in the auditorium. Yes Dani?" "Are they're any rules or anything?" I asked and Rachel interrupted me once again, "Yes. Don't be better than me. That's impossible anyway. I'm getting this solo as always." Mercedes rolls her eyes. "Uh. Okay." I said kind of hurt. But I wasn't going to let her get in the way. I'm an amazing singer, not to gloat or anything. I get into math and sit next to Mercedes. "So are you going for a solo?" I asked. "If course I'm going to try. I mean Rachel can't get ALL of them." She said. "Of course she can't. That won't be fair." Math went by really quick. Then I was off to physics. I walk in and Kurt was in there. He wasn't there yesterday. "I didn't know you we're in this class." I said to him. "I was in Figgins office yesterday this hour." He said. "Oh I see. Well you didn't really miss anything. Just a bunch of notes. Are you going to try for a solo today for glee?" "Totally. Anything to beat Rachel." He said. School went by quickly. I went home and did some homework. Before I left I talked to my sister, 'in know you weren't big on singing, but I am. If you can I would love if you can watch over me and get that solo for glee club. I love you sam.' I then went back to do my glee solo audition. I really want this. I never really had a solo in front of an audience before. Not a big one anyway. I'm still deciding on what song to sing. I know I should have decided this and practice it but I just don't know what song I should sing. First up was Rachel Berry. Her song was Don't Rain On My Parade. She actually was good. Next up was Mr. Kurt Hummel. He sung Blackbird. And then it was me. "Hi Dani. What song will you be singing?" Mr. Schue asked. "I'll be singing Skyscraper by my idol, Demi Lovato." I said.

Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching tear drops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears, I awaken
And untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better
To watch me while I bleed?
All my windows still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here,
Watch you disappear
Yeah, oh
Go run, run, run
Yeah, it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Oh Oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
"Wow. Dani. That was-was, beautiful. I can feel that pain you have. Just wow Dani." Mr Schuester said. "Thanks Mr. Schue." A few moments later everyone was done. "Thanks everyone. The list will be posted tomorrow." I walk into the choir room to get my coat and keys. "Dani, that was beautiful. And whatever you're going through I'll be here for you. I've been through a lot. I don't expect you to open right up to me, but if it makes you more comfortable, I'll tell you my story because I'm recovered, it's still a challenge, but it's possible to overcome whatever you're dealing with. You're truly amazing Dani." Kurt explained. We hugged and I drove him home, then went home myself.
