A New Direction
Prologue
"Rachel Berry." Principal Figgins called Rachel's name. The brunette rose from her seat and walked over to the steps, careful not to trip in the heels she was wearing. Her cap was nearly falling off when she made it to the top, crossing the stage to Figgins. He handed Rachel her diploma and grasped her hand in his, shaking it firmly. "Congratulations, Miss Berry. Have a bright future."
Rachel beamed at the crowd full of parents and other relatives. Her fathers were standing, clapping proudly as their daughter took her seat on the other side of the stage.
Other names were called, but the one that caught Rachel's attention was Kurt's.
"Kurt Hummel." She laughed as Kurt walked up the steps, waving towards the onlookers who were clapping (still). It wasn't the look on his face that made Rachel laugh. It was the fact that Kurt was wearing his prom queen crown. She wasn't the only one who thought it was funny. Mercedes, who was sitting behind her, laughed loudly.
"Go Kurt!" She shouted and continued her laughing. Kurt did a small curtsy before exiting the stage, taking his seat.
The ceremony ended quickly with tears and laughter. Rachel stayed behind, looking around the gymnasium. So many memories here that she wasn't ready to let go of. Well, besides the one time when Brittany puked on her. She walked around slowly, stepping over some fallen decorations. Rachel let out a heavy sigh.
A pair of hands startled Rachel, she jumped and turned quickly to find a familiar smile. "Kurt!" She shrieked and hugged him tightly. "You took your crown off!"
"Yeah, didn't want to risk it getting ruined. Out of my entire tiara collection, I think that one is my favourite." He laughed, pulling away from the tight death grip that Rachel had on him. "And I have a very special surprise for you, Miss Berry." Rachel's eyes gleamed with anticipation as she waited, her hands clasped together tightly.
Kurt handed her a long, slim box and Rachel took it. She looked at it happily. "Is it a diamond necklace? Is it from Finn? Does he still love me? Does he want me back?" She opened the box quickly, her face twisting from happy to confused. "Um.." Rachel pulled out a long piece of paper, which when she fanned out it turned into three. "Plane tickets?"
"Look where to, Rachel."
Her eyes scanned down to find the location in bold print.
New York City, New York.
She screamed in excitement and hugged Kurt. "Oh my gosh! Kurt! Wait, why is there three?"
"Well Blaine is coming with us too, duh." He smiled and hugged Rachel back.
It was settled, they were going to New York.
