We Are Endgame

New Year. Well You Know

Melanie's POV

The beginning of a new school year and my first day at Mckinley high. I dont know how to feel about this.  I am the new girl who wants to be a soccer player but everyone else, like my sister Rachel who is still on her honeymoon wants me to join the glee club. I love singing but I dont want to do it for competions because I fear I wont love it as much anymore. Also my mom is coach for a competing team. She doesnt care but I do. I walk up to the sign up board. Sign my name under soccer and academic decathalon. Making high school fun hopefully.

Aldo: New Girl. *whistles*  New Girl

Just my luck. I was hoping to avoid him. I turn around and act normally.  High school is complicated enough, just like my life and I don't need weirdness.

Melanie:  Yes

Aldo: Just stopping to say Hi. And Come to glee auditions. You have a killer voice

Melanie:  I don't know about that because first of all I barely know any of you and secondly I don't really like singing in front of people.

Aldo: Well you could get to know us in glee club and if you change your mind auditions are tomorrow

I walk away before I say yes or okay and mumble under my breath not likely instead.

The day goes by really slow. All seven of my classes were just boring. Also not knowing anyone made it boring as well. I pretty much had my headphones in all day. Great, Im the loaner girl again but to be honest I don't care. All I need to worry about is my mom and her treatment. I finish up my soccer tryout after school. They placed me on the Junior Varsity team. Which is where freshman play but I will be in Varsity soon. I change and take my bike home. In time to see my mom making food

Shelby: Hey sweetie? How was your first day of freshman year?

Melanie: It was pretty mellow. My classes are easy to understand and I signed up for the soccer team. So wish me luck

Shelby:  Sounds magnificent but what about glee?

Melanie: Not you to

Shelby:  I know you love to sing and should join the club whole you can

Melanie:  Where is that club going to get me in life. It does certify me a career after high school.  Not to diss Rachel but it took her years before actually becoming someone

Shelby: It may not guarantee anything but There is always a possibility.  A chance to showcade your talents instead of letting them go to waste

Melanie: Thats why I sing in the shower or my bedroom

Shelby: You know its not the same. And yes Rachel took long to become famous because she made mistakes. She knows that now. If she wouldn't have went back. She would not be a actress with awards and a almost well known make up stores

Melanie:  Thats the thing though.  I dont want to be famous. I love singing but I dont want it to be my career choice. I want to be a nurse. I want to save lives. Not sing to peoole on a screen or at funerals

Shelby: I know what you have wanted to be since you were a little girl but please at least join or audition. It wont kill you. It is just a extra curricular and will look good for colleges

Melanie: I guess. 

Shelby: When are auditions?

Melanie:  Tomorrow after school

Shelby: So good luck. I know you will get in. Now come on lets eat

Melanie: Okay. Do you think I should break up with my boyfriend?

Shelby: Well that is up to you. You need to think of reasons and let your mind and heart decide what you think is best

Melanie:  Thanks mom

Shelby:  Do you like someone else?

Melanie:  No. I just dont want to have a long distance relationship

Shelby: Come on Lasagna is ready

Melanie:  Sounds great

Shelby: So Rachel and Finn should be back soon

Melanie: Oh cool

Shelby: How did you feel finding out you had a sister?. Were you mad at me? It just took a while for you to even talk and you both still hardly do

Melanie: I was kind of shocked. I was kind of more shocked that we are half sisters. That is why I think were not really close because I barely met her and we only share you. She doesnt really talk to you either.  I dont need to really know her if you both dont get along

Shelby: Sweets. Thats all my fault. She wanted to get to know me when she was in high school seven years ago. Her sophomore year. And I did to but I couldn't go through on it. I left and I hurt her in the worst way possible.  So I dont blame her. I think the worst part that she dislikes me for is I gave her up and came back and left

Melanie: I didnt know that is what happened.  So she is mad because you hurt her feelings and left her again. That was when zi was seven years old. Why didnt you tell her about me?

Shelby:  I knew it would make her more upset and She had already grown up and didnt need me. I was just afraid for her to know.

Melanie : She may not have needed you but I could have needed her. When I was younger I wished I had a bigger sibling to talk to. Dad left and I felt terrible. And you were so busy and I just needed someone to talk to

Shelby: Im so sorry

Melanie:  Im not hungry. Im going to my room

I walk to my room. Play my music. Put my earphones in and just lay on my bed and cry most of the night. I dont know why.  It is just my life has never been easy
