Trusting your enemy

by Pezberryisendgame

After a year of non-stop torment Rachel has finally had enough. Will Rachel finally be able to ignore bullies? when Brittany and Rachel begin to hang out together more Santana begins to realize that the Rachel Berry that the school knows is different to the real Rachel Berrry. Will Rachel finally admit that she has a crush on a certain Latina or will school drama get in the way?

Waking up on the first day of junior year Rachel is instantly overcome with a feeling of dread. Being a loser at school has made her used to this feeling. She has learned to trust the feeling that has situated in the pit of her stomach. A glance at the clock tells her that she has 2 hours until she has to leave her house for school. Deciding to ignore the feeling she quickly gets changed into a sports bra and boxer shorts, Rachel easily slips into her daily routine of 20 one-handed push ups, 50 sit-ups and 1 hour on the elliptical. After a quick shower and getting dressed for school she was ready to leave.

The closer Rachel got to school, the stronger her feeling of dread got. 15 minutes later she arrived but rather than go into the school she stayed in her car to avoid the jocks and cheerleaders torment. She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the amount of cars that had begun to fill up the small parking lot. A loud knock on her car window jerks Rachel out of her thoughts. Looking up she sees Finn standing there staring pathetically at her. Releasing a sigh, she gets out of her car to see what her ex wants."Rachel! why didn't you call me over the summer?" the boy asks annoyed. "Finn, I have no obligation to call you anymore. I-" Rachel is cut off by a strong hand gripping her shoulder and the already tall boy now looming over her. The quarterback immediately begins turning red in anger. "NO OBLIGATION! I AM YOUR BOYFRIEND. I SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST PRIORITY. ITS NOT LIKE YOU ACTUALLY HAD FRIENDS OTHER THAN THAT BLONDE SLUT YOU HANG OUT WITH OVER THE SUMMER. Only a girl as dumb as Brittany-" his rant is interrupted by a tiny hand slapping him in the face and kneeling him in his groin causing him to grip the car beside him to prevent him from falling to the floor in pain. The reason for his pain swiftly begins harshly speaking to him. " What did you just say? first of all: Please tell me that you did not just call my friend a slut or dumb. Brittany is not a slut, she is the one of the only people in this godforsaken place who is actually nice to me. She is also the sweetest, smartest and most loyal person that I know. DON'T YOU EVER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT HER OR I WILL CASTRATE YOU. And secondly you are not my boyfriend, in case you forgot, I dumped you at the end of last semester after you cheated on me by sleeping with half of the cheerios. Leave. me. alone." And with that Rachel Berry walked into school ignoring the boy who was now sat on the floor red from both anger and embarrassment.

Walking through the halls of McKinley towards her first period was easy enough. The lack of cheerleaders or jocks in the hallway made her happy. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of hockey players walking towards Kurt who was at his locker with Mercedes, neither who had not yet seen the large boys. Upon seeing the jocks each holding large slushies in both hands she ran in front of Kurt and Mercedes who both looked up at the sound of her running towards them.
