"Cavanagh!" I heard a female voice yell out. "Cavanagh wait!" She yipped again. Her voice kinda reminded me of Rachel Berry, excited... and annoying. I stopped walking to turn around, only to be meet with a girl with bright crimson hair. Her loose waves fell to her shoulders, and her eyes are a beautiful sky blue.

"I'm sorry... do I know you?" I asked, fixing the strap of my bad on my shoulder. I didn't want to look her into the eyes... she's kinda scaring me.

"Oh no! I mean how could you! You're.. you and I'm just little ol' me." She rambled, making my eyes go wide. "Okay anyway I'm a big fan of yours! I even snuck into your audition-." She said before I cut her off.

"You snuck into my audition?" I asked her.

"No! Well yes! Okay it sounds worse then it is. But I've been a fan of yours since you were a Warblerett! And not to mention your boyfriend is a smoke show! Meeeeoooowww." She said making me shift uncomfortably.

"My boyfriend?" I asked. I've dated a few people in my day, and some of them were around my Warblerett days.

"Yeah! Sebastian!" She said, making me look down at my shoes. "I mean his hazel eyes and his swooshy hair and his dimples! Oh his dimples are to die for!"

"I'm not.. I'm not with Sebastian anymore." I said to her. Her eyes bulged.

"WHAT?!" She asked. "I was president of the Cavastian fan club."

"Okay..." I said not saying her name cause I don't know it.

"Autumn!" She said.

"Okay Autumn, you seem really sweet, creepy sure." I said

"Yeah I get that a lot."

"I'm sure you do. Look youre sweet and I appreciate you supporting me.. but I'm gonna go now. I'm kinda scared." I smiled at her, turning around, walking away.

"wait!" She called out, running next to me.

"You don't stop do you?" I asked. I take it back. She's Rachel Berry on crack.

"No I don't! Look I want you to come to my audition. You know, for the music program! It would be a honor for you to be there." She said.

"I don't think it's a good idea for me to sit in there." I said.

"No no! Please!" She said. I looked at her, nodding and following her into the room.

I sat in the back corner away from the professor so she didn't see me. The last thing I would want is for this to become a cheating violation or something stupid like that. Im sure if anything were to happen, Autumn would step in and say something. She's kinda... crazy... but she's sweet.

"Hi! My name is Autumn Starling and I'm here singing a rendition of 'Maybe This Time' by Liza Minnelli." She said. Good song choice. She nodded towards the pianist and the soft melody began to play. I smiled as she looked my way.

(This is what Autumn sounds like.)

Autumn
Two old friends meet again
Wearing older faces
And talk about the places they've been
Two old sweethearts who fell apart
Somewhere long ago
How are they to know
Someday they'd meet again
And have a need for more
Than reminiscin'
Maybe this time
It'll be loving they'll find
Maybe now they can be more
Than just friends
She's back in his life
And it feels so right
Maybe this time, love won't end
Yeah
It's the same old feeling back again
It's the one that they had way back when
They were too young to know
When love is real
But somehow, some things never change
And even time hasn't cooled the flame
It's burning even brighter
Than it did before
It got another chance
And if they take it
Maybe this time
It'll be loving they'll find
Maybe now they can be more
Than just friends
She's back in his life
And it feels so right
Maybe this time, love won't end
She's smiling like she used
To smile way back then
She's feeling like she used
To feel way back when
They tried, but something kept them
Waiting for this magic moment
Oh
Maybe this time
It'll be loving they'll find
Maybe now they can be more
Than just friends, oh...
She's back in his life
And it feels so right
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
Love won't end

Autumn stopped singing, and let me tell you, she is absolutely amazing. She had soul and her voice! God her voice is amazing.

"Thank you Ms. Starling." The professor said.  "That was amazing."

"Well I do put the star in starling!" She said. I rolled my eyes. Yep, Rachel Berry.
