DISCLAIMER: I'm not smart enough to own Glee
Rachel POV
"Ugh! I can't believe it I finally get a solo and Mr. Shuester gives me this lame boring song!" her best friend Quinn said. I was sitting at the piano and was playing the song Defying Gravity while she was singing. Her cheerios uniform made her stand out in the middle of blue chairs.
"Quinn this song is not lame, or boring-it's an amazing song. Have you seen Wicked? It is a-"
"Yeah, yeah 'it's a brilliant musical' I just can't sing this! I wish he would let me choose the song." she held her stomach and looked like she smelled something nasty.
"Quinn are you ok?" I started to stand but she stopped me and nodded.
"I just had a little too much to eat." she looked like she was trying to convince herself. She went to her chair to get her bag. "Thanks for helping me Rachel you're the only one I know who can play piano and isn't busy after school."
I smiled "No problem, do you think it's ok if I stay? I want to practice playing some more."
Quinn shrugged "It's fine I guess, I'm sure Mr. Shue won't mind." she walked to the door "Bye Rachel."
"See you later Quinn." I yelled as she left.
I started practicing my favorite piece Moonlight Sonata when I got a little bored, so I got up and walked into to Mr. Shuester's office and sat in his chair.
No I wasn't in the Glee club, nor did I want to be, with me being in the jazz band already. I couldn't have too many classes distracting me and risking my perfect straight A record since the fifth grade. When I started spinning myself in his chair a drawer labeled Sheet Music caught my eye. I walked over and opened the cabinet.
They had a lot of songs in here, they had Hate On Me-hmm an R&B song? They had, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Lean On Me, Total Eclipse Of The Heart, Hair, Don't Rain On My Parade-FUNNY GIRL! Mr. Shue had great choices. I picked up the sheet music for Defying Gravity that came with the CD that was only the music and went back into the choir room.
Once I found the radio I put the CD in and hit play.
Finn POV
Damn Karofsky. he must be rich to be buy all those slushies to slushie us "Gleeks" with. I washed my face one last time before drying it and leaving the bathroom.
Everyone had already left once school was over but I was still here cleaning the slushie off myself. Since I wasn't a pro I took a little longer to wash the sticky cold ice off my face and hair.
When I walked past the choir room I stopped because I heard music coming from inside. Hmm, maybe Mr. Shue hasn't left yet.
I was about to walk in when I heard her singing.
Something has changed within me Something is not the same Too late to go back to sleep It's time to trust my instincts Close my eyes and leap
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
I looked through the window to see a short girl standing reading sheet music and singing along with the music. She was amazing, her voice was like nothing I ever heard before. She was beautiful too, long brown hair, brown eyes, olive skin, and the most amazing legs.
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you wont bring me down
I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
It was so fun to watch her get wrapped up in the song, pretty soon she didn't need the sheet music and she was dancing around the piano, on the steps, standing on chairs.
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!
Bring me down! ohh ohh
I recognized the song; it was the solo Mr. Shue gave Quinn, but this girl did a hell of a lot better job than she did. Was she joining Glee? I hope so. I was about to go in when she went to the radio and turned it off.
She looked amazed with herself, like she hadn't really sung before and just figured out she loved doing.
"Shit!" she yelled and before she could see me I hid behind the corner.
Rachel POV
I never felt more. . . happy. Singing was fun. I knew that I was good at it because I got into the musical once and got the lead but I quit because Sandy was a complete weirdo. But I never sang like this before. I loved it. I looked at the clock and realized I was late.
"Shit!" I yelled, I grabbed my things and ran out.
I was late, extremely late, my dads are gonna kill me.
I kept running until I reached my house and my legs were exhausted. I ran inside and into the living room as fast as possible.
"Rachel!" Daddy yelled
"I know I'm late Daddy I am so sorry."
'You are half an hour pass curfew!"
"I know again I am so sorry."
"I was about to call the cops." he said, he was calming down now.
"You worry to much Daddy; this is Lima the middle of nowhere I doubt some rapist will get me."
"Rachel-"
"Sorry. I will go up to my room now." I quickly ran up and sat on my bed.
My phone ringing made me jump ten feet in the air I was so jumpy.
"Hello?"
"Rachel? It's Quinn,"
"Oh hey Quinn, what's up?"
"I was wondering if you could help me practice again tomorrow after school?"
A chance to sing again? "Yeah, of course."
"Great.. . .oh and Rachel?"
"Yeah?" a long silence followed.
"Are pregnancy tests always right?" her voice cracked on the verge of tears.
I froze. Oh no. "Not every one is accurate," I said quickly trying to comfort her. I couldn't believe it. I started to speak faster and faster "in fact some lie to you at least that's what I heard. And with that being said I suggest that someone who thinks a pregnancy test is indeed lying to them they should go to the doctor and see if they are pregnant just to be a hundred percent, positively, without a doubt sure…Quinn?"
I heard her start to sob. "Quinn please tell me you did not sleep with Noah." her sobbing got louder "Quinn you're captain of the Celibacy club!" I yelled then, afraid that my dads would hear me I started whispering "Alright if you think you are pregnant I want you to make an appointment with the doctor, and I will go with you, I do not want you telling Noah this unless you are a hundred percent sure that you are pregnant do you hear me?"
"Yes," she sobbed
"Alright then I want you to control yourself so that your parents don't see you like this and I will see you tomorrow."
"Thank you Rachel, thank you so much." she kept sobbing.
"Don't worry Quinn. I'm always here for you. I'll see you tomorrow." then I hung up.
Her and Noah have been going out for about seven months now and they were already having sex.
And now she might be pregnant.
Finn POV
I couldn't sleep. All I could keep thinking about was her. Music Girl. I decided to name her that because I didn't know her real name. I was gonna check the music room again after school to see if she was there and if she was I would stay and listen to her sing again. She was amazing, and beautiful, how could I have not seen her before? I must be blind. I think I saw her once or twice with Quinn before though. With her animal sweaters, and sequin leggings and all. She was adorable. I was determined to meet her and find out her name.
