Who is Sebastian Smythe? (Glee and Flash FF)

Chapter 9

Dalton was different from my old school in Central City. For one, I have never expected to be attending a private school. Much more an all boy's private school. The lessons are much more challenging. Not that it bothered me too much.

Just because I changed my name it doesn't change the fact that I am still as nerdy as I was back in Central City. It just meant I had to spend more time studying than before.

But it was great. I didn't have to constantly look over my shoulder watching out for bullies.

I had tried out for the Lacrosse team. And under the insistence of Thad, I am going to try out for the Warblers. I was scheduled for an audition after class during their first Warbler practice.

The bell rang and Thad was at my side.

"Hey, Bas." He said wrapping an arm around my shoulder. "Are you ready for Warbler Practice?"

"I'm not a Warbler yet Thad." I said. "I have to audition first."

"Of course you'll get in." Thad said. "You were great at Karaoke Night."

I shrugged. "Maybe."

He rolled his eyes and proceeded to drag me towards what I assumed was the Choir Room. There were voices that echoed down the hall leading towards the room.

The other boys were singing and made it sound a lot like beatboxing, Jon even made this high pitch sound that sounds a lot like a bell.

Jeff was singing lead with Trent.

So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain-check

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

Thad sang the next verse of the song dragging me into the room with him.

So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
Right to the top
Don't look back
Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain-check

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

The Warblers paused looking at me expectantly. I smiled and continued the song.

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

Jeff and Trent both wrapped an arm around my shoulder and repeated the verse with me.

Then the Warbler's voices softened for the last verse.

This road never looked so lonely
This house doesn't burn down slowly
To ashes, to ashes

Everyone paused then sang the last chorus together practically jumping on their feet.

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

The Warblers were all laughing and some were patting me at the back.

"Alright everyone settle down." David said standing by the table at the front of the room with Thad beside him. All the other Warblers found their seats at the surrounding couches and I was still standing in the middle of the room unsure where to go.
