Just A Kiss?
Chapter One
I walked out of Glee club with my best friends Kurt and Mercedes. They stood at Mercedes' locker discussing what solo I should sing at Regionals. My name is Rachel Berry, I am basically a nobody in this school, at least I don't get slushied like I've seen.
"RACHEL!"
That's my best friend Quinn; she's head cheerleader and the most popular girl in school. I know it's weird that I'm best friends with the most popular girl in school, but I've known her since second grade, over the years I'd noticed things.
Like she got boobs, I didn't. She got boyfriends, I didn't. She joined Cheerios, I didn't. Here we are now; senior year and things are still the same. I yelled back at Quinn and she walked up to me with her quarterback boyfriend Finn Hudson, the two ruled the school, even though Quinn was a little pushy sometimes.
"Rachel! We've been looking all over for you!" She exclaimed,
I rolled my eyes; I doubted she'd even looked for me. Santana walked down the hallway.
"Hey Dwarf, anyone ever tell you look like one of the bait girls on to catch a predator?" She called out to Rachel.
"Shut up Santana." Quinn told the other cheerleader, "Just leave her alone!"
"Whatever Q." Santana said and walked away.
"Thanks Quinn but you didn't have to do that…" I murmured to her, she shrugged.
"Nobody picks on my best friend and gets away with it" She smiled.
"Thanks, so how was Cheerio's practice?" I asked walking to my locker.
She followed me "Same as usual, Sue yelled and worked us" Finn looked bored, "I have to go my dad will be worrying were I am!" She walked off leaving me and Finn standing there awkwardly.
"Well bye!" I said and started to walk away but he grabbed my hand. I looked at him,
"You don't deserve all the crap you get Rachel, you're really cool" He walked away leaving me standing there feeling flustered. Kurt walked up to me,
"You okay there?" He asked me, I nodded.
"Need a ride home?" He asked walking me to the parking lot.
"I-I'm fine, thanks Kurt" I said kissing him on the cheek, "Tell your dad I say hi"
I sat in my car. I never thought of Finn in a romantic way before, I always thought of him as Quinn's tagalong boyfriend. What if he likes me? What if he's liked me all along, he used to stare at me at lunch in 7th grade. Quinn claimed he was staring at her and asked him out. Ah, I'm a mess, he didn't even flirt with me and I'm jumping to conclusions, obviously he's liked Quinn all along, I bet he was just trying to be nice to his girlfriend's stupid best friend…

When I got home, I went up into my bedroom after saying hello to my two fathers; I got my webcam out and turned it on.
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
I turned off my camera and posted the video on my MySpace page, within a couple of minutes, I got a comment.
Shark-finn5:
Keep up the good work and you'll get far.
I squealed and fell back on my bed, my hands on my face. Why did the first boy who ever really looked at me (besides Kurt) have to be taken!

The next day I school I walked up to my locker and grabbed my books, I started walking to class, somebody started to walk next to me. It was Finn. My heart jumped out of my chest, he gave me a big smile. I returned it, Quinn walked up to us.
"Hey!" She said greeting us, taking Finn's hand, I felt a pang of jealously go through me.
"Hey Quinn." I said to her. "Are you coming to Regionals next week?"
She gasped "Crap. I forgot. Yes! I will be there!"
Of course. Typical Quinn, she forgets that I was the one cheering her on at her first cheerleading event. Glee club's sectionals? Quinn was a no-show.
"Yeah..." I said.
"I gotta go to class!" She kissed Finn goodbye and walked away, once again leaving Finn and I alone.
"So can you um... like show me where the choir room is…?" He asked. I nodded, and walked into a big room with a piano in the middle.
"So this is the famous choir room…" He looked at the piano 'Do you play?" I nodded and sat down, I patted the space next to me, and he sat down next to me.
I pressed the keys lightly, playing a beautiful melody.
"Wow. You're really good at that." He said looking at me. I looked up at him smiling; he had the most beautiful brown eyes that went on forever. He must have felt was I felt, because he leaned in and kissed me full on the lips. I deepened the kiss, the bell rang, we made no sign of moving or stopping. I had completely forgotten about Quinn and everything, this is was pure bliss…
