Amelia Mae

Chapter Two: Pilot

A/N: I don't own anything but Amelia St. James any other original character which includes the aunt and uncle, parents and siblings of Amelia St. James.

I didn't tell Jesse about me almost joining glee club because I know he will try to get me to join. He has been trying to get me to join something but the only thing I liked that McKinley offered was cheerleading and I missed the tryouts. 

When I got to school, I noticed that the sign up sheet was taken down, now it won't be able to taunt me. School went on like normal, it wasn't till after school that I walked passed the choir room on my way out of the school. I heard them singing some weird song about a boat.

The next day, I learned that Mr. Schue, the Spanish teacher was still looking for kids for the glee club. He only has five kids right now for it, the five that were on the sign up sheet. I don't think that he will be able to find anymore, at least not at this school. He doesn't understand that there is a social hierarchy in high school, one that determines how high school will go. Popular kids aren't going to join a performing arts club in a school where sports reign supreme. The jocks and cheerleaders run this school, the kids in the glee club are the losers. The sad thing is, that if this was Carmel, they would be at the top of the hierarchy, just like how Jesse is.

Saturday rolled around faster than I thought, Vocal Adrenaline was having their invitational showcase today. It would be Jesse's final one, and we made plans so that we wouldn't miss it. It was a family tradition to go to competitions or showcases for us. The only downside to today is that Jesse wasn't singing lead, they had planned before for him to not sing because they knew competition would be coming to watch. I mean they are 6 time National Champions, what show choir wouldn't want to see them. 

VA was amazing as usual, they had been working on this number since mid summer. Giselle's voice was prominent in the song, but her vocals were good today. It was halfway through the song when I spotted Andrea and Chris. I've always had a habit of looking for Jesse's friends during performances. Probably because up to this year, Shelby, their director let me come in during the Saturday practices and during the summer so that I could watch them and possibly help. Shelby actually wanted me to join VA because she'll need a new lead once Jesse graduates, but I'm not gonna lose myself just to not have her yell at me. When she found out that I was going to to attend McKinley, she stopped letting me watch without notice because she doesn't want outsiders to VA's routines.

After school on Monday, Jesse was the one picking me up from school. VA had one day off a week for now until competition season got closer. Jesse and I had a dance class today, he already had my dance bag with him.

"Hey Lia, ready to go?" Jesse asked as I got into his range rover.

"If I wasn't, would I be getting in?" I question.

"True, anyway how was school?"

"Boring like usual, yours?"

"It wouldn't be boring if you went to Carmel, and Carter tried to take a teacher's pet turtle today,"

"Sounds like Carter, did he get away with it?"

"No, Mr. Smith caught him, only because Giselle saw him and told Mr. Smith,"

"Typical Giselle,"

The rest of the ride was silent, well not completely silent, we sang along to the radio Dance class went by fast and before I knew it, we were back home and fast asleep.

The next day at school was normal, I was walking around the school once it was over while I waited for my uncle to come get me. I was walking past the auditorium when I heard music start. I knew it was the glee club, they were singing Don't Stop Believin' by Journey. I very quietly opened the door and sat in the back row to watch them. They were wearing red shirts with jeans, they kinda matched but everybody had their own style showing through. I noticed that the quarterback was them, hmm....I didn't know he could sing.

Partway through the song, I heard footsteps coming closer to where I was. I moved a few seats over to avoid being seen. The person turned out to be Mr. Schue. 

Mr. Schuester was clapping oncer they were done. The performance wasn't that bad, it was really good but they had lots of work to do.

"Good guys, it's a nine. We need a ten. Rachel, you need to hit the ones and fives. Finn, I think if we worked on it, you could hit a high 'B'." He states.

"So does that mean you're staying?" Finn, the quarterback asks.

"it would kill me to see you guys win Nationals without me," Mr. Schue tells them.

He should be giving them false hope. VA is going to win Nationals again this year, this glee club can't stop VA yet, maybe in a few years and tons of hard work.

"From the top," He orders them.

I left the auditorium and went outside to finish waiting for my uncle. I was going to tell Jesse about them, so he can decide if they are competition or not. 

A/N: I know that I cut out of the song from the text, but everybody knows how the song goes, so I didn't see a point in keeping it. But here the finished edited and rewritten chapter two.Let me know what you think, what I can improve on, and don't forget to vote.
