Katie had to admit she was excited about LA. Even arriving at the airport she got a buzz. Her dream was to one day write and perform music. The only thing that was a bit nerve wracking for her was the first day at school. She didn’t know anyone besides Cameron, a boy she met three times in the last five years.

“It will be okay.” Kurt said as the girl fixed her hair three separate times.

“Is that the time?” Her eyes widened as she ran out and attempted to make her way to the bus stop, but getting completely lost and missing it before calling Kurt because she didn’t know where the school was. By the time she got there, found where she was supposed to get her timetable, she was late to homeroom.

“I see we have a late comer.” The older woman looked at the fourteen year old.

“Sorry,” Katie said quietly. “It’s my first day.”

“Katie Hummel-Anderson,” The woman said as the girl nodded. “And what state are we from?”

“New York.” Katie responded, sitting down.

The rest of homeroom people started calling her New York, and she just wanted it to be over. She was one of the last out of the room after getting a lecture about turning up on time and a boy that she recognised, came up to her.

“Katie,” He smiled. “You look way better without the barbie.”

“And you look better not carrying around the buzz light year toy.” Katie responded, smiling for the first time all day.

“Ignore Mrs Flint,” The tall darker boy said while they walked. “She is a real cow.”

“Thanks Cameron,” The girl responded. “What class do you have?”

“English,” The boy responded. “How about you?”

“Same.” She sighed, knowing there would be at least one friendly face as he looked at her timetable.

“Do you sing?” The boy asked.

“Um, yeah,” Katie smiled. “I also play piano. Why?”

“We have a glee club and we need an extra person for regionals,” He said as the girl was basically jumping up and down inside. “I can get you a try out.”

“That would be amazing!” She said as they walked into the classroom.

The Glee Club had agreed to let her try out after school and Kurt would pick her up afterwards. She had been plotting song ideas all day and finally decided to go for Teenage Dream, a classic that she knew she could do – but never as good as her dad. That was his song. She finished the song and the Glee Club coach came up to her.

 “This is our schedule.” He said as she almost screamed.

Katie went out to the parking lot with Cameron who smiled at Kurt before walking off and Katie got into the car.

“Is that Cameron?” Kurt asked.

“Yeah.” Katie nodded.

“He looks so much like Sam.” Kurt muttered to himself.

“He is in my homeroom.” Katie said looking at the boy.

“How was your first day?” Kurt asked nervously.

“Good,” Katie responded looking at Cameron walking away. “Well crappy at first. My homeroom teacher lectured me, but then Cameron got me a Glee audition for today because they have regionals in a few weeks and I got in.”

 “Do you like Cameron?” Kurt asked as the girl almost dropped her phone.

“No,” She said quickly. “Why would you think that dad?”

“Just a suspicion I have.” Kurt responded.

“I mean he is nice and he has a smile, but crush, no way.” Katie said quickly.
