John P.O.V.

Glee Club tryouts.

Today.

Nobody thinks I can sing. Nobody likes me. I'm not gonna get in.

But I told that popular Alexander kid that I would tryout....or at least think about it.

What did I get myself into??!

"John Laurens" They called

I wiped my sweaty hand on my sleeve before nervously walking onto the stage. They whispered to each other before I even started singing.

"What are you going to sing?" Eliza asked, clearly annoyed just at my presence
"Somewhere only we know by Keane.."

She rolled her eyes slightly "go on."

Alexander smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up.

"I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river, and it made me complete
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go?
So why don't we go?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know?"

Eliza was clearly in shock when I finished the song. Washington clapped while Alexander just smiled proudly.

"You're in!" Washington shouted
"Wait wait wait!! Shouldn't we discuss this first?!" Eliza said angrily
"What's there to discuss Liz? He's amazing!" Alexander grinned
"You're outvoted" Washington told Eliza

Eliza got up and stormed off.

"Don't listen to her! The hairspray must've seeped in. Anyone with half a brain can tell you're a star!" Washington said supportively

Peggy ran out on stage and tackle hugged me "Welcome to the club!"

"Um.....hi.."
"Aww they look so cute together!" Lafayette said pointing at me and Peggy
"Oh n-"
"Really?!" Peggy smiled

Oh boy....
