Rachel kissed her dad's cheek and hugged her daddy before running into McKinley Elementary. It was her first day at school and she was extremely excited. She ran into the classroom with the sign with Miss Jane's 1st Grade.

She hung her bag up on one of the hooks and looked around at the other children. There were two boys wrestling while two others cheered them on, a group of four chatted in the corner two girls were sitting at a single desk playing with Barbie dolls and some other kids were chatting excitedly.

Rachel was wondering who to join when she heard a little sob from the door; she turned to see a pretty girl with blonde hair and green eyes. She was really small and had a pretty blue dress and white tights on.

"Mummy I'm not brave I can't go to school." She sobbed she heard her mother sigh "Quinn darling you're a Fabray and Fabray's aren't scared of anything now go in there and be a big girl and DO NOT get anything on your dress." The girl who Rachel assumed was Quinn nodded and dried her eyes, "Mum please can I go home?" She whispered.

Her mum whacked her and Rachel gasped. The mother must have heard because she looked around to make sure no one had seen, then she pulled Quinn close and whispered something that Rachel couldn't hear before walking off.

Quinn hurried into the room hanging up her bag and sitting at a desk up the back. 'I'll make friends with her!' Rachel thought and hurried to the desk next to hers.

"Hey I'm Rachel what's your name?" The girl looked at Rachel and mumbled Quinn. "That's a really pretty name! My dad's named me Rachel because they liked friends why did your parents name you Quinn? Oh and my dads are gay by the way. I don't have a mum." Rachel gushed Quinn mumbled something before getting up and walking away.

Rachel chased after her. "What did you say?" She beamed loudly "I can't hear you when you mumble." Quinn blushed "I'm not allowed to be your friend, sorry...Rachel." before Rachel could ask why the teacher entered and Quinn went back to her desk.

"Children I'm going to put you in seating arrangements okay just so we can all make new friends." Miss Jane smiled "I'll put the first half of the register in the hat and the other half can pick out."

"I lost my pet duck Tiddler today. I bet it's in this hat, it used to sleep in my hat!" One of the girls with the Barbie said.

All the children picked out people to sit with Rachel was sad because she couldn't be with Quinn because they were both on the first half, but instead she got put with someone called Mercedes who seemed nice. Quinn was with a boy named Finn and on the desk next to her was the duck girl, her name was Brittany and she was sitting next to Tina. By the end of the class Rachel new everyone's name and where they sat.

At Recess all the children decided to play a big game of Cops and Robbers. The boys were the Robbers and the girls were the Cops. It was great fun but Quinn was in the middle of taking a boy named Noah who insisted on being called Spiderman because Noah was a name for whimps and his dad was spider man, when she screamed and ran of crying. Every one ran over to Puck to see what had happened, it turned out he had tried to escape and pushed Quinn over by accident,

"What a whimp!" a boy called Artie who had really big glasses teased "Maybe she was really hurt?" Rachel suggested because Quinn seemed brave she had hardly cried when her mom had slapped her. "No I saw it, it was just a nudge nothing that would hurt she's just a girl." A boy named Matt added "She is not!" Finn yelled and shoved Matt then Artie to the grounded then he kicked Puck "That's for hurting a girl!" He yelled before running off.
