Mia Anderson

Part 62

It has been a few weeks since Katy Vs Gaga week and it has been pretty chill. Something happened between Marley and Jake so I was consoling her. It was kind of hard since she is my ex but I still care about her a lot as a friend but Jake was also kind of my friend and I also cared about him. I am also getting a bit nervous about the future. NAYADA audition this week. I wasn't in my cheerios uniform today because Blaine, Sam and I were going to be going soon. We were all in the choir room and I sat on the piano next to Kitty and we were taking selfies with a few people photo bombing at random points. We then saw Mr. Shue walk in so we put our phones away.

(Mr. Shue) "Hey, guys, in spite of the complete lack of representation at the Career Fair, I know that a lot of you are thinking about a career in the arts. Well, it's no secret that Sue Sylvester doesn't believe that an artistic career is a very practical idea. And, for once, I have to admit she's right. It's completely impractical. You know, anyone pursuing that arts need to go in with their eyes wide open. We're talking zero job security and impossible odds. But... I've always believed that you have to pursue what you love. And that's why this week's assignment is about a goofy-looking kid who struggled for years in the music business."

Mr. Shue walked up to the whiteboard and Kitty turned to face me and put her hands on my shoulders.

(Kitty) "Finally. It's Marilyn Manson Week."

(Mr. Shue) "Close. Billy Joel."

Kitty put her hands down and looked disappointed.

(Unique) "Who?"

I jumped of the piano with Kitty and we turned around to face Mr. Shue.

(Artie) "Oh, just a musical genius who sold over 150 million records worldwide."

(Mr. Shue) "That's right. Billy had to fight every step of the way in his career. He had countless failures and disappointments: writing songs that nobody wanted, playing piano in seedy bars just to pay rent, being told he'd never make it because he didn't look 'right'."

(Jake) "Translation: too Jewish."

(Mr. Shue) "But he ignored the hater and he kept pursing his dream, becoming the third best-selling solo artist of all time. I mean, he is a true inspiration to anyone pursuing a career in the arts, like our very own Mr. Blaine Anderson, Mr. Sam Evans and of course Miss Mia Anderson."

Everyone began to cheer for the three of us and Blaine walked up to me and Kitty moved out of the way still cheering.

(Blaine) "All right, as some of you may or may not know, this week is Mia and I's big NYADA audition."

A few of the girls gave a little cheer and Mr. Shue gave a thumbs up to the two of us.

(Blaine) "I know. It's terrifying. So we are leaving today to maybe get some last-minute tips from Kurt and Rachel."

(Sam) "And I'm going with them because I have an interview with the theatre department at Hunter College. They saw and they loved my 'Tornado of Talent" impressions reel. And I'm up for this awesome scholarship, the Channing Tatum Former Male Stripper Grant."

(Mia) "But the three of us spoke to Mr. Shue and, because we have to miss this week's lesson, he thought the least we could do is maybe..."

(Sam) "Kick it off with our very own take on a classic BJ."

I started to choke on air. What??

(Sam) "Billy... Billy Joel. Hit it."

Blaine sat down at the piano and I sat next to him. He then started to play.

Blaine (Blaine and Sam):

"Huh-uh, aha, mhm
