Shelby POV:
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Shelby groaned, rolled over and hit the snooze button on her alarm clock. She really didn't feel like waking up. One of those mornings, I guess. As she started to doze back off to sleep, her eyes burst open.
"Shit! Shit! Shit! I'm gonna be late!" She ran into the bathroom and took the quickest shower of her life. After, she threw on some clothes, did her makeup and hair, and got in her car to drive to the school.
Today was her first day teaching at McKinley, and she was beyond excited. She was excited to get back into teaching. She missed it. After moving back to Lima, she couldn't wait to start her life over again.
She pulled into the school parking lot with time to spare. She parked her black Range Rover in the staff parking, grabbed her stuff, and headed into her new workplace. She couldn't wait to see what this new job had to offer.
Rachel POV:
"The first day of school is here again…" Rachel thought. Summer flew by, once again, just like every other year. But she was excited to head back to school this year. For some reason, she had hope that things were going to be different.
After her early morning workout routine, she hopped in the shower to freshen up. After that, she did her hair and makeup, and put on her outfit. She had been planning what she was going to wear for weeks. The first day of school is quite the occasion.
"Bye, Dad! Bye Daddy!" She yelled from the front door. Then she stepped outside and began her walk. She didn't live very far from the school at all, so it made more sense to walk. Plus, she enjoyed walking. It gave her time to think about things, and to have some time for herself.
Once she got to school, she was welcomed at her locker by Kurt, one of her best friends.
"Hey Barbra. Excited for the new school year?" He handed her a coffee, and took another sip of his own. It seemed like he needed it, as he looked like he was about to pass out.
"You don't seem very excited yourself. In fact, you look half asleep" Rachel giggled, as she put her stuff away.
"Well, I'm sorry I'm not a morning person, like some people" Kurt responded, with a glare in Rachel's direction. "What class do you have first?"
"English. Hopefully my teacher is nice, I've never heard of her. I think she's new." Rachel thought.
"Oh yeah. Is it Ms. Corcoran or something like that? I have her too, and I heard she's really awesome." Kurt replied as Rachel closed her locker.
"Yup, that's the one!" Rachel replied with a smile as they started walking down the hall, arm in arm.
When the bell sounded for first period, Rachel and Kurt said their goodbyes, and Rachel headed to her English class, excited to meet her new teacher.
Shelby POV:
As the bell sounded, she opened her classroom door so students could start making their way in. She had English 11 first period, so she sat at her desk and let everyone come in and take a seat.
The late bell sounded, and she begun by greeting everyone from their summer holidays.
"Good morning, everyone! I hope you all had a lovely summer vacation, and that you are all ready to start the school year. My name is Ms. Corcoran, and I'm sure you all know this is my first year at McKinley. I'm overjoyed to start working here, and I hope you are all ready to have a fabulous school year! Let me just take attendance and we can start todays lesson."
Shelby picked up the list of students and started reading them off, and waited for a reply from each student. As she made her way down the list, she read one name and stopped dead in her tracks.
"Rachel Berry?" She froze. Her mouth went dry and she could feel the tears well up in her eyes. Stop, Shelby Corcoran does not cry. Then she heard a little voice come from a brunette respond from the third row in front of her.
"Here, Ms. Corcoran!" Rachel piped with a grin on her face.
Shelby looked up, saw the girl and knew right at that second,
That's my daughter.
AU: So I hope you all liked the first chapter! This one is very short compared to the ones I have planned out. This is also my very first fanfiction, so please don't be too harsh when leaving comments or reviewing. However, I would LOVE to know what you think! I have big plans for this story!
