1. Rachel has a methodical approach to cleaning, one she has perfected to an art. She's been covered in cold ice a number of times that she has the science of it to a routine. She begins with a walk to the showers, several steps left then right, left and she walks in, her clothes falling to the ground behind her. She shampoos her hair, shampoos significantly to ensure that the sticky texture has been removed.
(Wash, rinse, repeat. Those are how her days go)
2. She misses her mother in more ways than she knows how to count. The pain is deep and it cuts, she finds herself feeling fragile, and on her worst days, she bites the inside corner of her cheek until it bleeds and she can feel her mouth fill with the metallic after taste.
3. She doesn't have many friends, and she wants to chalk it up to jealousy but she knows it's less about the jealousy than it is about the fact that they hate her.
4. She thinks if she's ever loved anyone, it would be him. He looks at her in peculiar ways, his green eyes glimmering with her reflection. Science and math, she knows them like the back of her hand, but he touches her, and she develops feelings she cannot reveal. His thumb circles the inner corner of her wrist, and he stares at her, and she wonders if there is a word for this.
5. She sits in Glee and watches as she loses another solo, and wonders if she'll ever be a star.
