Artemis and I walked up onto the stage for our first competition. We didn't want to do glee but Sebastian said that if I didn't do glee that he would personally come and kick my ass. It was a good thing though since I was in my junior year as a thirteen-year-old. Sebastian had graduated and with that, the Warblers had become my enemy.

We walked on the stage in tempo to the beat with black knee-length flat boots, black short skirts, and royal blue short-sleeved shirts. The boys had the same shirts but with black pants and dress shoes.

The first song was a duet between Artemis and me.

"My heart is racing can't stop this feeling my ground is shaking oh, wanna let go, go crazy dance on the ceiling my world is waiting oh."

"Don't want to stop, give up, I want it all 'cause I just ain't had it enough. Keep up, we're gonna show the world that there's just no stopping us. No one can hold us back we're gonna break the rules. Can't hold us back we're gonna light the fuse and us."

"I'm living on the wild side, wild side. No telling what I might find, might find. No stopping 'cause it feels right, feels right I'm living on the oh oh oh. On the wild side, wild side. So let it now it's my time, my time. No stopping 'cause it feels right, feels right. I'm living on the oh oh oh oh."

"I used to think that, good things were so bad. No need to hold back not me no more. I'm walking this road I'm taking control. My heart can say no."

"I'm living on the wild side, wild side. No telling what I might find, might find. No stopping 'cause it feels right, feels right I'm living on the oh oh oh. On the wild side, wild side. So let it now it's my time, my time. No stopping 'cause it feels right, feels right. I'm living on the oh oh oh oh."

"Don't want to live my life by design. Locked inside, break out."

"Break the rules, light the fuse. Something new that's why."

"I'm living on the wild side No telling what I might find. No stopping 'cause it feels right oh oh oh oh."

"I'm living on the wild side, wild side. No telling what I might find, might find. No stopping 'cause it feels right, feels right I'm living on the oh oh oh. On the wild side, wild side. So let it now it's my time, my time. No stopping 'cause it feels right, feels right. I'm living on the oh oh oh oh."

We got a standing ovation and I could see Sebastian sitting in the audience front and center.

"La di da da da na, yeah. Everybody loves to tell me I was born an old soul. Better keep my eyes wide open, there's so much that I don't know. Just another hotel room never felt so all alone. I think about my granddad's eyes, and they always send me home. I can almost hear him now gotta make him proud. I keep my eyes wide open bless this ground, unbroken. I'm about to make my way Heaven help me keep my faith and my eyes wide open. La whoa."

"I can't see two steps ahead of me when the fog comes rollin' in. I never thought I'd miss the rain Lord knows how long it's been. This dream burns inside of me, and I can't just let it go there's still so much that I don't know. I keep my eyes wide open bless this ground, unbroken. I'm about to make my way Heaven help me keep my faith and my eyes wide open, yeah."

"All I have is just this moment and I don't want to miss a second. 'Cause it could all be gone in an instant yeah, in an instant."

"I keep my eyes wide open bless this ground, unbroken. I'm about to make my way Heaven help me keep my faith and my eyes wide open. I'm about to make my way Heaven help me keep my faith my eyes wide open. Keep my eyes wide open."

I finished my solo with my team standing next to me we looked out at the crowd and I smiled at Sebby and the other New Directions that had come to see me. Santanna was actually crying which made me proud. The newer New Directions stood clapping. 

I ran offstage and shared a group hug with Zatanna and Artemis who would be leaving to go to different schools. The New Directions came up to see me and all gave me huge hugs. After last year's disaster {heavy on the dis!} they apologized and helped train me for my first nationals. Rodric came over to me and asked me if I wrote the song I sang last. I looked in the distance and saw Jon with a bouquet of flowers.

"Holy shit he didn't!" I squealed running over to Jon and to his waiting arms. I saw a familiar face next to him. 

"You remember Artemis' cousin right?" Jon asked pointing to Roy. 

"Yeah, sure. I'm so happy that you could make it Jon!" I screeched making Jon laugh.

"Sooooooo, who's this?" Sabastian asked from his spot next to the New Directions.

"Guys this is my best friend Jon Kent, Jon this is Sebastian, Rachel, Rodric, Blaine, Kurt, Santanna, and Brittany," I said laughing. 

"She's like a small version of me I take all of the credit," Rachel said going into a Rachel fit.

"Sorry, I have to get out there. Metropolis High has to get out there before Colin has another fit," Jon said adjusting his vest and walking out on the stage to get in position.

"He hates singing for them, he hates the lyrics too before you get too judgemental," I said looking over at what was going to be a crime scene after this.

"My girl is hotter than your girl. You know it, you know it. Yeah, my ride is sweeter than your ride. You know it, you know it. Don't ya wish you were us? Don't ya wish you were us? You know we own this party. You know we run this town. I'm about to steal your girlfriend. I'm about to knock you down. Sorry but your train has left the station, maybe you should try a permanent vacation. Never even got an invitation did ya, did ya? Hey what, don't you wish you were us? Hey what, don't you wish you could rock? You're M.I.A. we're V.I.P. you're L.O.L. we're B.I.G. no one really likes you that much. Don't you wish you were us? Yeah, don't you wish you were us?"

"Yeah, I score in every game now. You know it, you know it. You ride the pine for nine now you blew it, you blew it. Don't ya wish you were us? Don't ya wish you were us? You know we rule this beach, yo we kick sand in your face. We're gonna crash your birthday and eat up all your cake. Sorry but your train has left the station, maybe you should try a permanent vacation. Are you a member of the loser nation, loser, loser. Hey what, don't you wish you were us? Hey what, don't you wish you could rock? You're M.I.A. we're V.I.P. you're L.O.L. we're B.I.G. no one really likes you that much. Don't you wish you were us? Yeah (haha), don't you wish you were us? Yeah, yeah."

"Now all the pretty girls are waitin' to get their picture taken with the crush, don't ya wish you were us? Yeah, don't ya wish you were us? Haha well, don't ya? Whoo, hey what, don't you wish you were us? Hey what, don't you wish you could rock? You're M.I.A. we're V.I.P. you're L.O.L. we're B.I.G. no one really likes you that much. Don't you wish you were us? Yeah yeah, don't you wish you were us? Yeah, yeah. Whoo, it's the crush. Don't ya wish you were us? Don't ya wish you were us?"

"Is it bad if I say that he just made me need to vomit?" Sebastian asked.

"Nope," Rodric responded while Jon had a sheepish look on his face.

"Colin writes their songs but can't sing solos so if Jon wants to sing at all he has to sing Colin's songs. It's showbusiness," I said looking over at Rachel.

TIMESKIP CAUSE THE CHAPTER IS LONG ENOUGH

We sat on stage with the trophy. Artemis, Zatanna and I looked out over the empty chairs.

"It feels good doesn't it?" Santanna asked reminding me of Artemis. 

"This is the best feeling ever!" Zatanna yelled getting up and dancing around the stage. 

"It should, you guys just won what took me all of high school to win," Santanna said laughing.

"Are you proud of her?" Artemis asked smiling.

"Of course, and I hope that you girls are going to take care of her in the future," Santanna responded before sitting to talk with Artemis and Zatanna for a while.

That was when Roy came over and said that he neede to talk to me.

"What's up Roy?" I asked.

"I like you!" he blurted out.
