Audition

CIARA WALKED DOWN THE HALL FOR HER
first day of sophomore year in her cheerios uniform that fit her perfectly. before she could even reach her locker, she was met with jacob ben israel, aka jbi. a kid who is devoted to interviewing the glee club members.

"Ciara Puckerman!" he yelled as he ran down the hallway to meet up with her.

"Get away from me." she said, not even making eye contact with the boy.

ignoring her, he continued. "How does it feel to be in the shadow of your older brother?" jacob asked, shoving the camera in toni's face.

"Your gonna feel that microphone up your butt in a second if you don't get out my face." ciara threatened and once the boy saw the look in her eye, he ran off with his camera men in tow.

"There's our girl. Scaring Jbi we see." turning, ciara seen her three favorite juniors walking her way. santana lopez, quinn fabray and brittany s. peirce.

once ciara joined the cheerios her freshman year the three older girls took her under their wing and basically treated her like their child.

ciara smiled at the them as they walked into the choir room where mr schue began to read the latest comments by jbi. "These are comments from Jacob Ben-Israel's most recent Glee Club blog. Glee is a giant ball of suck." he read off a piece a paper.

"We get it, Mr. Shue. Everyone still hates us. So what? So we're plankton on the high school food chain? Only difference now is that none of us really care." kurt told the teacher and it was true.

"Kurt's right. We're a family. They can bring it all they want. None of it is going to break us." mercedes added.

"Okay, I'm really happy that you guys have all bonded. The problem is that all of this negative stuff is keeping other students from auditioning."

"Good. Why do we need new members?" tina asked and mr schue continued. "Well, since Matt transferred, we only have 12 members, and if we want to go to Nationals, if we want to beat Vocal Adrenaline, we have to go from a small rebel force to a giant wall of sound."

"Yeah, Mr. Schuester's right, you guys. You didn't see Vocal Adrenaline at Regionals. They were epic. We're going to need more voices in order to beat them." rachel stated as she stood up to stand beside their teacher and finn followed. "Yeah. I'm with Rachel on this one."

"Gross." "Utterly disgusting." ciara said after brittany.

"You're going to have to trust me on this, guys. Now, here's the plan. Nationals are in New York this year, and we are going." mr schue announced naming the students cheer. "Now let's go out there and show the school how cool it's going to be, how cool we can be. If they're not going to come to us, let's go to them. They say we only sing show tunes and '80s pop. Let's show them how down we are. Let's give them the song of the year, New Directions! style."

after the glee club performed Empire State of Mind in the courtyard, that was an epic fail once the rest of the school looked unimpressed.

ciara was walking the halls after changing back into her cheer unifrom when she bumped into someone, causing their books to fall. feeling bad she bent down the same time as him. "I'm so sorry, i wasn't looking where i was going."

"No, I'm sorry. I have no clue where i'm going." the two looked up and froze at how close they were. they boy had blonde eyes and blonde hair that stuck to his forehead. "I-I'm Sam." he introduced with a stutter.

"I'm Ciara." the girl said with a smile as she picked up one of his textbooks. "Modern World History? I have that class next."

as the two stood up, sam began to smile. "Cool, uh wanna walk together? I kinda have no clue where i'm going."

"Yeah of course." and the two walked off both smiling a ton.

LATER IN THE DAY ciara was passing the choir room when she heard her name being called. she peaked her head in to see the guys off glee club sitting in front of sam.

"Uh, hey guys. Hey Sam." she said, slowly walking into the room.

"You know him?" noah asked his sister and she nodded as she took a seat beside mike. "Yeah, we have history together."

"Great. The glee boys plus Ciara meeting is now in session. So, Sam, tell us about yourself." finn said from his seat.

"My name's Sam Evans. I like comic books, sports. I'm dyslexic, so my grades aren't that good, but I'm working on it." sam said a bit nervously.

"Dude, your mouth is huge. How many tennis balls can you fit in there?" puck asked as ciara shot her brother a look.

"I don't know. I've never had any balls in my mouth. Have you?" sam asked, making everyone turned to puck who just as impressed as everyone else.

"I like this kid." finn whispered. "I like his confidence, but the Bieber cut's gotta go." artie agreed but toni tilted her head looking at the blonde. i like his bieber cut, ciara thought.

"So, can you sing with that big mouth?"

"I've never really sung in front of anybody before." sam said with a small shrug.

"Dude, let me tell you, chicks dig singers." puck said, standing from his seat. "Well, give it a shot. We'll back you up, I promise." finn said handing sam a guitar as ciara walked over.

"Yeah, what song you got in your back pocket?" she asked as he took a second to think.

"Um Billionaire." he said a bit uncertain but toni gave him a reassuring smile.

( BILLIONAIRE — SAM EVANS )

after the group song billionaire sam looked around with a soft smile. "That-that was really cool!"

"Nice. So you think you can come back and do that in front of everybody?" finn asked, happy that his plan was working.

"Sure."

CIARA WALKED INTO COACH sylvester's office the same time santana stormed out. she was a bit confused as to why she was being called to her coaches office since she didn't think she's done anything wrong. yet at least.

"Uh, coach you wanted to see me?" ciara asked nervously.

"Yes Ciara because i'm informing you that you have been promoted to co-captain along side Quinn and you've have been bumped up from second row to the top of the pyramid."

hearing all of this, ciara gasped. never once has there been a sophomore captain of the cheerios and ciara was now the first one. "Oh my gosh! Are you serious?" ciara exclaimed and coach sylvester just nodded in response. "Thank you coach!"

the girl left the office with a bright smile that was wiped away when she walked into the fight between santana and quinn. "What happened to us being a family?" she heard mr schue yelled as he broke up the fight.

"Oh, please. She has a family. She's a mother!" santana yelled, throwing her arms around. brittany grabbed ahold of toni to pull santana away.

"Walk away! And tighten up your pony before you get to class!" the three heard quinn yell, voice full of rage.

~~

SAT IN THE CHOIR room for about an hour or so, ciara came to the conclusion that no one was auditioning for the glee club. not even sam, which made ciara a bit sad.

"Well, hate to break it to you, but it doesn't look like anyone's gonna be joining us, so I think we should just call it a day." rachel spoke up as everyone watched the clock.

"We said 3:00 to 5:00. It's only 4:58." mr schue said with a sigh and majority of the club stood to leave but finn called out to them.

"Just wait. My buddy Sam's gonna try out. He totally idolizes me." finn stated but the club had no faith in those words.

"Oh, face it, Finn. You're no longer the quarterback. You're not the Pied Piper anymore. No one's gonna follow you around thinking everything you do is cool." kurt said, tired of the boy thinking people around school still loved him.

"What about that Sunshine girl? I thought you said she could sing." ciara asked as she rested her legs across the empty chair beside her.

"I guess she didn't want to hang out with us losers." rachel said simply. with that, ciara left as well. no one was joining the glee club anytime soon.
