He went to Dalton after he got attacked by Troy and his goons in his freshman year so he went to live with his aunty and uncle on his moms side. He joined the Warblers in his sophomore year but everyone thought he was a junior because he was in junior classes cause he’s smart. He also knows Hunter because Hunter started at Dalton a little bit after the slushy incident and took over the warblers from there. “There will be no steroids fiasco. I repeat there will be no steroids fiasco!!!!!!” also Berry does not have a crush on Iris he used to but not anymore.
Chapter 1
⚡Barry/sebastian’s pov⚡ Tuesday march 2 4:06PM
“And now… the moment that we have been waiting for.” Ms Alex the announcer said walking onto the stage.
I freeze hearing that this was it this was the moment that me and the Songbirds were waiting for. The moment that would determine whether or not they were going to nationals.
Everyone in the theater quieted to hear who would win
“You know we're going to win, we're the only ones that sing and dance”. I hear from my right. I turn my head to see Iris with a smirk
“ Plus we're one of 5 competitors and we have a 20% chance to win.” Eddie said from the left of me, smiling when as turn to look at him.
“And I know that science is more your thing but to sum it all up we're most definitely going to win” I hear from in front of me. I turn away from Eddie to see Luke standing right in front of me smiling. I couldn't help but smile back.
“But first I'd like to thank Keystone Theater for hosting this event.” Everyone in the theater started to clap when the clappes died down she started again
“For third place keystone choir!!!” Everyone clapped for the keystone choir and the kids from keystone cheared.
After the keystone choir got their trophy and the clapping died down Ms Alex started again “Second place goes to the Central City Blue Ridden Middle School Choir!!!!!”
Me and the songbirds cheered extra hard because some of the middle schools are our siblings and many of us went there. After the middle school got their trophy the room went silent in anticipation since everyone wanted to know who would get to go to nationals. “Before we find out who won, I'd like to thank all of you for coming whether you sang, directed, or are here to give moral support.”
I tensed realizing that this was it, this was the moment where we found out if we're going to nationals and if we didn't win then we did badly. I felt someone bump my shoulder. I turned my head to see Luke with a soft comforting smile on his face. “We're going to get it; I know we will and if we don’t we still have fun and do good. Luke said and turned back looking towards the front so I did too. What he said made my fears go away and I know that even if we didn't win we still had fun.
Everyone took a moment to clap but it quickly died down and every one licensed as Ms Alex began “Now…. the first place who will be going to nationals is……… the central city songbirds!!!!!!!!! We stood still not registering what we hurried but after a second or two we all started to cheer and jump around in excitement and glee.
In the celebration, I hadn't even realized that Luke got the trophy till he was standing next to me cheering “Central City Song Birds!!!!!” once he started everyone else joined in with him soon all I could hear was “Central City Songbirds; central city songbirds!!!!!!!”

“Alright, everyone!” Iris said, getting everyone's attention.“ Is it ok with everyone that I post a video and photo of the performance to our website?” everyone thought it was a good idea and chose a photo from after the performance when we went to CC Jitters to celebrate it just so happen to be a photo that I took so I wasn't in it and the video was of when we did a small dance routine mostly staring luke, iris and mark our three best dancers.
“Barry isn't in the photo” I was startled Since I didn't think that anyone would notice that I wasn't in the photo. I turned to see that Eddie was the one to bring it up when a couple of people were looking at him. “ I don't mind plus that's the best photo we have.” which is the true scene no one had Noticed that the camera was not in focus so all the photos where partly blurry or cloudy; and since i had taken the photo on my phone it wasnt out of focus.
“ You should be in the photo scene, you're one of the leaders,” Lizz, one of the altos said. Many members agreed with her statement. “It's the only good photo we have plus we were planning on putting a list of our names. You can put me as the one who took the photo and scene. The website is targeted towards our classmates who already know who I am.”
“Barry’s right. It's the only photo we have, and we can always put him as the person who took the photo and a part of the group.” Luke said, looking at everyone. “You're okay with not being in the photo, right, Berry?” Iris said, looking at me. “Yeah, I'm fine with it, and I'm okay with Luke's idea.”

Soon we had the video and photo up and the meeting was adjourned and me and iris were heading home. “When do you think they are going to annonce where they are holding nations?” Iris acceded as she drove. I looked up from the biography of Harrison Wells I was reading “Well with the fact they're probably just making the last of the preparations I'd say within the next week.” Iris nodded her head in agreement. “Do you want to stop by Iron Heights so you can tell your dad we won?” Iris said I smiled a little and nodded “Yeah that sounds good.” I said. Iris turned the car onto the road that takes us to Iron Heights.
Soon we’re in the parking lot of Iron Heights. “ Do you want me to go in with you?” Iris asked “Yeah that would be nice plus I think he would like to hear it from both of our perspectives.” I say Iris nodes and unbuckles her seat belt. “Come on let's go, I want to tell Henry how during rehearsal you tripped and fell during the song Fall for You!” Iris says quickly running out of the car.
“Iris!!” I yelled after her in exasperation.
