Chapter 1: First Meetings.

Rachel woke up at 6am as always for her daily workout but then she remembered she was no longer living in Lima with her mom. She had been forced to move to Lima when her dad's found out that she was constantly bullied by her classmates, they couldn't move from Lima because they had a lot of work there so they asked Shelby if Rachel could stay with her in Mystic Falls and go to the school there, Shelby gladly accepted and Rachel had to leave school, glee club and her friends. Shelby moved there after she left Vocal Adrenaline, she decided she needed a quite life and peaceful place to live and apparently that was Mystic Falls, she have been living in there for a few months now and she knew everything about it and assured Rachel she would like it, she was now the theater and music teacher at the school Rachel was going to attend and told her that it was a great school for her to have a fresh start.

Today was her first day of school and she was nervous about it, she hoped everyone was as nice as her mom told her and that people would like her because she knew she wouldn't be able to stand people bullying her again in another school with no friends and basically no family, the only person she had now was her mom but she knew she wasn't an expert in that department and she was doing everything she could to be a good one.

Rachel got out of her bed and went to take a shower, she turned on her iPod and the first song she heard was 'Don't Rain on my Parade' and that make her remember the glee club and when she sang that at sectionals last year and she started crying again, she have been crying for the past 3 days, since she left Lima and arrived to Mystic Falls. When got out of the shower she had finally stopped crying so she wrapped a towel around herb body and went to her closet to take her outfit for today, before she left Lima she asked Kurt for help, now that she was living to mystic falls and having a fresh start she also wanted to e a new Rachel so she asked him to help her buy new clothes and as she expected Kurt was really excited about it, he took her to a thousand stores buying her clothes that he said were fashioned, he even coordinated the clothes and make 7 different outfits for her first week there. This was the first time Rachel would be wearing clothes that didn't had animals and she would wear knee socks.

When she decided she was finally ready, she walked out of her new room and went downstairs to find her mom making breakfast.

"Good morning Mom" Rachel said

"Morning Sweetie" Shelby said "How did you sleep?"

"Better than the other days"

"It's until you get used to your new bedroom"

"Yeah, I hope I get used to it soon"

"Well now eat your breakfast or we are going to be late at school" Shelby said and they ate their breakfast quite.

"Do you have your schedule?" Shelby asked when they were close to the school

"Yeah, it's in my bag"

"Okay, have a great first date"

"Thank you mom" she said kissing her in the cheek "Mom, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure sweetie, what do you need?"

"Can you not tell anyone that I'm your daughter?" she asked and Shelby frowned "It's just that everything will be weird enough with me being the new girl, I don't want people treating me different because they know I'm the teacher's daughter"

"Okay, they won't know anything from me"

"Thanks mom, bye" she said and got out of the car.

"Bye sweetie" Shelby said and drove to the teacher's parking lot.

Rachel was walking through the halls trying to find her next class but she couldn't she was totally lost and everyone was looking at her so she decided to ask for help to the next person she saw, she saw a tall guy so she decided to ask for help.

"Excuse me" she said and he turned to see her, he had brown hair, squared jaw and a pair of green eyes, he was really handsome and now Rachel knew she would like this school if all the guys were as handsome as him. "Hi, could you tell me where's history with Mr. Saltzman?"

"I'm going there, want to come with me?" he asked "First day?"

"Yeah and thanks for helping me"

"No problem" he said "By the way I'm Stefan Salvatore"

"Nice to meet you Stefan, I'm Rachel Berry" she smiled and followed him to her class.

"Alaric, we have a new girl" Stefan said to the teacher before sitting next to a brunette.

"Oh yeah, Ms. Rachel Berry" he said

"Yes sir" she said

"Please call me Alaric" he smiled "You can sit behind Bonnie" he said and an African American girl raised her hand.

"Hi Rachel, I'm Bonnie" she said

"Hi" Rachel smiled and a gorgeous blonde entered to class and sat behind Stefan.

"Hi Bonnie" she said and saw the girl behind her. "Hi, I'm Caroline"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Rachel" Rachel said and soon after Alaric started the class so she couldn't get to know her new classmates, they looked really nice and she hoped they could get to be friends.

Alaric's class was interesting he wasn't the typical kind of teacher that just talked and talked all the class, he interacted with the student's and make them interact with each other, he let everyone express their opinion and even when some students were mistaken he didn't make fun of them like most teachers do, Rachel knew he would be her favorite teacher.

"What's your next class?" Bonnie asked her.

"Um… I have Biology" Rachel said looking at her schedule.

"Me too!" Caroline said "Come with me so you won't get lost"

"Okay, Thanks" Rachel said

"See you at lunch?" Bonnie asked

"Yeah, I'll bring her" Caroline answered before Rachel could say anything so she just smiled and nodded.

Rachel had the next two classes with Caroline and she got to know her a little bit more. She liked Caroline she was a really nice girl, she could be shallow sometimes but she was a good girl overall, she reminded her to Brittany but more intelligent. When her English class finished Caroline told her to come have lunch with her.

"Are we having lunch with Bonnie?" Rachel asked

"Yes and with other friends" Caroline smiled. Rachel followed Caroline outside and there she saw Bonnie with another girl sitting in a table. "Hi girls" Caroline said "Okay let me introduce, Elena this is Rachel, Rachel this is Elena."

"Hi Elena, nice to meet you" She smiled

"Hey Rachel" Elena said. "Sit down girls, let's eat"

"So how was your first day so far?" Bonnie asked when they were eating.

"Pretty good, I had Caroline and Stefan as my guides so I didn't get lost" She smiled

"You met Stefan?" Elena asked

"Yeah, he helped me find my first class" She said "We didn't really talk but he seems like a good guy, he's pretty hot too"

"Yeah, he is" Elena said "He's my ex boyfriend" Elena said and her voice sounded a little bit too possessive.

"Oh" Rachel said because she didn't know what more to say.

"So what classes do you have later?" Caroline said trying to save her from the awkwardness.

"I have Math and Music" she said "Do any of you have those classes?"

"I have English" Bonnie said "But my class is next to yours so I can take you to your classroom" she smiled

"Elena and I have Music too in the last period" Caroline said "What are you doing after class?"

"Thank you so much girls, you're being so nice to me, I never expected this" Rachel said

"Where did you live before you moved here?" Bonnie asked

"I lived with my dad's in Lima, Ohio"

"With your dad's?" Elena asked

"Yeah, I have two gay dads; I was born from a surrogate mother"

"Oh, so you moved here with your dads"

"No, I'm living here with my mom" Rachel said and they looked at her with confusion "It's a long story, I met her last year and we're pretty close"

"Then why did you moved?" Elena asked

"Because my dad's made me" she said sadly

"Why?" Caroline asked "Is it a punishment or something?"

"No, they found out…" she said and the three girls were waiting to hear what she was about to say "They found out I was bullied at my old school"

"Oh my god! Why did people bullied you?" Caroline asked

"Because I was in the Glee club and we were the less popular guys at school, we were all bullied but they were worst with me" Rachel said sadly "They always insulted me and slushied me"

"aw Rachel, I'm so sorry" Bonnie said

"Yeah, we promise nothing like that will ever happen to you here" Caroline said

"What is the glee club?" Elena asked

"Thanks girls" Rachel smiled "Oh and the glee club is like show choir, we sing and dance and compete with other clubs"

"That sounds fun" Bonnie said

"So you like to sing…" Caroline said

"Yeah, I love to sing" she said "My dream is to be a big Broadway star" she smiled

"You need to sing for us soon" Caroline said and Bonnie and Elena nodded. "Maybe you can sing for us in Music class"

"We'll see" she said.

They continued talking until they had to go to their classes, and Rachel got to know them a lot more, Caroline was only child, her mom was the sheriff and her dad was gay. Bonnie lived just with her dad but he was out of town most of the time because of his job and Elena lived with her aunt and brother, and her parents died almost a year ago.

"Time to go to class" Elena said

"Let's go" They stood up and looked at Rachel "Rachel you coming?"

"I've to go to the bathroom" Rachel said "Go ahead, I think I'll be able to find my next class" she said.

Rachel was walking out of the bathroom as fast as she could because she was late for her next class when she crashed into someone "Ops, I'm so sorry" she looked up and saw Stefan. "I'm sorry Stefan; I didn't see where I was going. I'm so sorry"

"Hey, calm down." He smiled Its okay, where are you going so fast?"

"I'm late for my class" she said

"What class do you have now? He asked

"I'm late for math but now I don't know where it is" Rachel said and he laughed.

"I have math too, come on" he said and guided her to their class "So how's your first day going?"

"Pretty good, Caroline and Bonnie are amazing, they're so friendly and I just met Elena, she good too"

"I'm glad you are having a great time here" he smiled

"Wanna come with us to the Mystic Grill?" Caroline asked after classes.

"The Mystic Grill?" Rachel asked

"Is a small restaurant here and a few days a week we go there after school to have lunch and hang out" Bonnie said

"You should come" Caroline said "You could meet our other friends and I can take you home after"

"Sure, just let me text my mom to let her know" she said taking her phone out of her bag. She wrote; 'Mom, I'll hang out with my new friends and they'll take me home. See you later – Rach.' Sent it and minutes later she got a text from her mom 'Okay sweetie, have fun. See you later – Mom'

"I have the feeling that Elena doesn't like me very much…" Rachel said to Caroline when they were in her car.

"It's not you, she's just having a rough week because she broke up with Stefan" Caroline said "I'm pretty sure she has nothing against you"

"Oh okay, I thought it was because of my comment about Stefan"

"Well she has little jealousy issues but I don't think it's because of that"

"Oh okay, so who are we going to meet there?"

"We always meet there with Stefan, Matt and Tyler" Caroline said "But I'm not so sure now because of the awkwardness between Stefan and Elena and Matt and I are not talking much either"

"Matt was your boyfriend?"

"Yeah…" Caroline said sadly "oh by the way did I told you how much you and Ms. Corcoran the new music teacher look-a-like? It's weird"

"mmm… yeah it's because she's my mom" Rachel said

"Really? That explains everything" Caroline smiled as they pulled into the grills parking lot. They got out of the car and walked into the grill where they saw Stefan in a table having a drink.

"Hey Stefan" Caroline said when they approached him.

"Hey Care, Hi Rachel" he smiled. "Want to sit down?"

"Sure" Rachel said

"Bonnie is gonna be late, Elena wasn't in the mood to come so she's gonna leave her at her house and come here" Caroline said "Anyway how have you been Stefan? We haven't talk in days"

"I'm just trying to handle it" he said with half a smile.

"It'll get better, I know how you feel" Rachel said

"I hope so" he said and they heard Caroline huff, Rachel looked up and saw a really handsome guy walking towards their table. He was tall, black hair and a pair of dreamy blue eyes, she have never seen a guy hotter than him, he was wearing a leather jacket and t-shirt and jeans all in black, he had a bad boy appearances but Rachel couldn't stop staring at him.

"Stefan, Blondie who's the new girl?" he asked

"It's none of your business" Caroline said

"There's no need to be rude, I just want to meet your new friend" he smirked and then looked to Rachel "Hello Beautiful, what's your name?"

"I'm Rachel Berry" she said

"Damon Salvatore, Nice to meet you" he said kissing her hand and she giggled like a little girl.

"Salvatore, like Stefan?" she asked

"He's my little brother, Are you new in town?" he asked "I don't think I've ever see you and there's no way I haven't notice such a pretty face before" he said and Rachel blushed.

"Yes, I moved two days ago"

"What do you want Damon?" Caroline hissed.

"I'm just getting to know Rachel" he said "Rachel, can I buy you a drink?"

"I don't drink" she said

"Then a soda so we can get to know better?" he said

"Sure" she smiled

"Let's go to the bar" Damon said taking her hand "Sorry, I'm stealing your new friend, Blondie" he smirked

"Be right back" Rachel said and followed Damon.

"By the way… Is it me or there's something weird with Rachel?"

"Yeah, I don't know what it is but she's not a simple human" Stefan said "We need to be careful"

"Okay, I'll be her new best friend" Caroline said

"Don't play with her Caroline" Stefan said in a warning voice

"I'm not going to play with her; I like her she seems really nice and I'll also keep an eye on her"

"Okay" he said looking to Damon and Rachel talking in the bar.

"He needs to stay away from Rachel" Caroline said "If he does something to Rachel I swear I'll stake"

"Calm down I'll make sure nothing happens to her, I promise" Stefan said

"You need to stop making promises you're not sure you can keep"

"I always keep my promises" Stefan said

"You have promised to protect Elena, Me and now Rachel" Caroline said "You can protect everyone, you'll just get yourself killed and I won't let that happen" she said and he looked at her surprised. "You're my best friend Stefan; you have been there for me since I changed so I won't let you get hurt because you're putting others before yourself"

"Thank you Care, It's good to know someone cares about me" he smiled

"A lot of people care about you, especially Damon even if he doesn't show it" she smiled

"Yeah, right" he said laughing

"So Rachel tell me something about yourself" Damon said

"Well… I love to sing" she said

"Really? Are you a good singer?" he asked

"Yeah, I'm great" she smiled

"You seem really confident, why don't you sing something?"

"There's no music"

"There's a jukebox" he said pointing to the corner

"Okay, I'll sing but you have to sing with me" she smiled

"Deal" he said and they headed to the jukebox, Rachel looked at the songs until she found 'Don't Stop Believing' "Any song you like?" he asked

"Yeah, I found one" she said pressing play and the song came out the speakers.

"Oh I like that song" he said and started singing.

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Rachel:

Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Damon:

A singer in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume

Rachel:
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Both:
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the nights
Streetlights, people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the nights

Rachel:
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
(Both) Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
And now the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights, people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the nights

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop

"Wow, that was amazing" Caroline said as she and Stefan approached Rachel and Damon. "Damon, I didn't knew you could do other things besides being a total jerk"

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me, Blondie"

"You have a great voice Damon" Rachel smiled

"Thank you, so do you" he smirked.

"I'm hungry" Caroline said "Let's order something"

They followed her back to the table and sat there to eat, during all their lunch Damon continued flirting with Rachel, he was talking to her, making jokes, being all charming and ignoring Stefan and Caroline. Rachel liked all the attention she was getting from Damon because even though he was older than her, he was really hot and she had to admit that but at the same time she felt bad for ignoring Stefan and Caroline, they were the two people that were extremely nice to her in her first day at school and she was ignoring them so she tried to make it up and talked more to them trying to get to know them, by now she knew a lot about Caroline because she never stopped talking, they had lots of things in common and Rachel knew they would be really good friends but with Stefan was different, he was a totally opposite from Damon while Damon was fun and spontaneous, Stefan was more serious and responsible but he was also fun to be with he was starting to lose a little and let his fun side come out.

"It's getting late, I think it's time for me to go" Rachel said

"Yeah, I'll drive you home" Caroline said

"Don't bother Blondie, I can take her home and you can stay with Stefan" Damon smirked

"No way, I'm taking her" Caroline said glaring at him. "Let's go Rach. See you later Stef."

"Okay, Bye Stefan, It was nice to meet you Damon" Rachel smiled

"Nice to meet you too, I hope we can meet again soon" He smirked and leaned to kiss her in the cheek and Rachel blushed.

"Bye Rachel, Bye Care" Stefan said as the two girls walked out of the grill.

"So… What do you know about Damon?" Rachel asked when they were in Caroline's car.

"He is a total jerk so please don't fall in his game"

"Oh… but he seemed really nice and he's pretty hot too" she said

"He's like that when he wants something or someone but when he gets what he wants he changes completely"

"How do you know that?"

"Because I dated him when he first came to Mystic Falls, more than a year ago and he just used me" Caroline said "He was sweet when he needed something but then he was a total jerk"

"Oh okay…" Rachel said "Can I tell you something? But please don't get mad at me"

"Sure, I won't get mad" Caroline said but Rachel looked at her like she was scared of her reaction "I promise"

"Okay… You sound like a hurt ex girlfriend" Rachel said "Like you still like him but he doesn't want to get back with you"

"I hate Damon and I know how he is, I just don't want you to get hurt" Caroline said "I'm just trying to be your friend

"Okay, thank you for being a good friend and trying to protect me" Rachel said and Caroline smiled. "Well… Thanks for the ride, Caroline" she said as Caroline stopped in front of Rachel's house.

"No problem" she said

"See you tomorrow" Rachel said and got out of the car.
