--The volgende Day--
I was putting my things into my locker. I was approached door Mercedes. "Hey Mercedes."

"I heard u talking with Rachel yesterday. Thank you."

"It's no big deal."

"No really. Thank you."

"You're welcome." She smiled then left.

-at the Auditorium-
I watched as Kurt tried the part of Tony again, only with the assistance of Rachel. I saw Kurt perform the best he could, but I wasn't feeling it. I felt bad for him, how he was trying so hard. I finally got up and left.

As soon as I walked out, Kurt and Rachel stormed right past me.

"...Kurt, stop...", I heard Rachel call as her and Kurt walked past me.

--The volgende Day--
I walked into glee club and saw Tina crying. "What happened?"

"M-Mercedes left gl-glee club", Tina zei through her tears.

"What", I zei in astonishment.

"MERCEDES LEFT GLEE CLUB", Brittany yelled.

"I heard her, Brittany. I just zei 'what' because I was astonished."

"What does astronomy have to do with anything?"

I ignored her. "When did this happen?"

"Yesterday at Booty Camp", zei Finn.

I took a zitplaats, stoel door Tina. "Why?"

"She zei she was tired of Rachel getting all the leads."

I looked at Rachel, who was looking down at her penny loafers. I looked back at Finn. "Oh really?"

Finn nodded.

"Guys, just because we lost Mercedes-", Mr. Schue was interrupted door Tina.

"One of our best singers."

Mr. Schue continued. "Shouldn't stop us from reaching our goal this year."

"Which is to actually win Nationals, instead of macking lips", zei Santana. She looked at Rachel for dramatic emphasis.

"I told u I was sorry", zei Rachel.

"'Sorry' didn't change the fact that we lost Nationals last year, now did it?"

"Ladies enough", zei Mr. Schue. "All this bickering isn't getting us anywhere."

"You're right, Mr. Schue", zei Blaine. "In fact, whenever the Warblers-"

"No offense, Blaine", began Finn. "But we aren't the Warblers. We're an actual team."

"And what's that supposed to mean, Finn?"

Finn was about to say something, when I penetrated in their conversation. "Guys, focus. If we want to get anywhere, I suggest u all shut your mouth holes!" Everyone was silent. "Continue Mr. Schue."

"Thank you, Sol." Mr. Schue continued.

-back at the Auditorium-
I decided to spy on Blaine's audition. He was singing and dancing as if he was really committed to the part. He was as energetic and lively as Kurt was.

As he finished, the judge applauded. When they were done, I heard Artie say, "That was great, Blaine. We know u didn't originally audition for this, but would u like the part of Tony?"

I looked at the surprised look on Blaine's face. He didn't even move. Still not moving, his eyes shifted to the back of the auditorium.

Can he see me? I noticed that he wasn't looking at me, but the entrance of the auditorium. I looked back there too and saw him.

Kurt.

He didn't look sad of angry. Just disappointed. "Oh Kurt...", I began. But he stormed out of the auditorium.
