I walk into the choir room and saw Tina, Sam, Artie, and Blaine in there packing some stuff up.

(Mia) "My life is over."

(Artie) "Where the hell did all these flowers come from?"

I go and sit down on one of the chairs and Blaine walk up to me.

(Blaine) "Mia, what's wrong."

(Mia) "Nothing. Just the fact that I'm going to spend the rest of my life in Lima."

(Blaine) "What do you mean?"

(Mia) "I have been lying to you guys."

Everyone looks at me and moves over to where I was.

(Artie) "I'm confused."

(Mia) "About one or two weeks ago I got a letter from Princeton and another from NYADA. Blaine and I agreed that we didn't have to wait for each other to open our letters so I opened mine. I opened the Princeton one first. 'We regret to inform the your spot at this school has been given away.' So I opened my letter from NYADA praying that I got in. 'We regret to inform you...' I didn't get in. I was so embarrassed so I lied. I'm the only one in this room who's not going to New York."

(Sam) "Why? You don't need a college acceptance letter to get over that bridge."

(Mia) "Sam, I can't just go there without some kind of plan."

(Blaine) "Well, uh, Kurt did, and I think he's doing pretty great. It's an adventure."

(Mia) "Not for me. You don't understand. Without some kind of direction, I just feel like a giant, free-floating loser."

(Sam) "Yeah, like me."

(Artie) "And me."

(Blaine) "And me."

(Tina) "And me."

Sam walks over to his guitar and picks it up while Blaine walks over to the piano. They start to play and I realise that they are singing Loser Like Me.

Blaine:

"You may think that I'm a zero

And everyone you wanna be

Probably started off like me

You may say that I'm a freak show

But give it just a little time

I bet you're gonna change your mind"

Sam (and Blaine and Tina):

"All of the dirt you've been throwing my way

(It ain't so hard to take)

'Cause I know one day you'll be screaming my name

(And I'll just look away)

Yeah I'll just look away"

Artie and Mia (Mia):

"Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth

So everyone can hear

Hit me with the worst you've got, knock me down

Baby, I don't care

Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out

You wanna be, you wanna be

A loser like me (Mmh)"
