Chapter Two- Prep Rally

Now that it was the second Friday of the school year, it was time for the glee club to perform at the annual prep rally. Which no one really understood why we had one, the football team was not really good. There was Sam the quarterback, he was not that bad, he had even gotten a scholarship to Ohio State, but the other members of the team is manly the reason they never won many games.

The whole school comes out to the prep rally just to see the glee club and the cheerios, they were both national champions.  The whole week prepping for the rally was spend around Rachel and Blaine getting the perfect song, and the rest of the people learning backup and the dance moves. Kurt hated this, for once in his life he wanted to be the star, not the same two people time and time again. The school loved them though, so everyone always wanted them to be the lead. Mercedes hated it also, but she just did what she was told to do.

On the day before the prep rally Mercedes was getting upset about the song choice.

“Why do we always do the songs that these two are the leads, why can’t someone else sing lead for once?”

Everyone stopped what they were doing, for two years Mercedes just kept her mouth shut, but she was getting up set this time, and Kurt liked it.

“I mean really, everyone knows that these two can sing, but there are other people in this club that are able to sing also.”

Blaine was the first one to speak, “we know that Mercedes, but the school does not come out to see everyone sing, they want to see me and Rachel sing.”

Mercedes eyes lit up, “so you should just let some other people sing also, you just think that this is the Rachel and Blaine show, it is not. We are the New Directions, and there are ten other people that just might like to sing.” Looking at Kurt, he never said anything, he always wanted to have a solo, but he was always quite, sometimes he might talk to Mr. Suhue about it, but nothing happened at all.

“Mercedes, I need as much solos as I can get if I want to get into NAYAD.” Rachel said in her high pitch voice.

“Well other people want to get into schools also for music, but you do not give anyone a chance because you take over everything like you own it.” Mercedes did not want to hear anything else from Rachel. “I think that you should give someone else a chance to show off their skills.”

“I need to get into this school if I want to be on Broadway”

“And do you think that you are going to get all the solos when you start on Broadway, I do not think so.” Mercedes got off her seat. Walked to where Rachel was, she was tired of it, she was so tired of being put in the background for almost ever number. Sure she got a solo for a verse or two, but it was never enough for her.

“Mercedes people are coming to the prep rally to see Blaine and me, not you up there singing at all, they want us.”

“They might want you, but not in the way you are thinking.” Burn, she was on fire.

Blaine stepped in this time. “Stop Mercedes, just calm down, we do not have a time to learn something new for tomorrow. We will try to make other people the stars for sectionals. Does that sound alright?”

Mercedes really wanted to hit Rachel, but she just turned around and walked back to her seat. “Sure Mr. Anderson, whatever you say.” Rolling her eyes at him, she was so tired of the two of them. She did not know what Kurt saw in him at all.

the day of the prep rally, Kurt was standing at his locker in between classes; he only talked to Mercedes really, though he talked to some of the other people that were in glee. Mercedes was the one he told everything to. But she was nowhere around. And it was not like her to miss any school, unless she was really sick. Kurt took out his phone and sent her a text message.

K-Where are you?

It seemed like forever, but in five minutes she finally sent him a message back,
