A/N: I'm back! I know it has been a while, but I was planning on getting at least one story fully written and a couple started before I uploaded the next one. The problem my laptop officially dead. Gone buried 6 feet deep in a metal box smashed and lit on fire dead, taking all my completed and in progress stories along with it, so I'm starting from scratch which sucks because I was really proud of my one story I was planning on uploading and I just can't seem to get it back to where it was before I lost it. So lesson learned BACK UP EVERYTHING! I just got started on this story and this is just an intro. It will probably only end up being a few chapters long unless I get a really good response. Also fore warning updates might be a little slow as I am currently interning in a 1st grade classroom 2 days a week which involves teaching 2-3 lessons a day. So for those who stuck through this whole A/N I'm rambling so sorry.
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, but the storyline is mine as well as any original characters.
They didn't know her. It was as simple as that. Rachel was from California, where she had friends and a boyfriend and wasn't the crazy singing freak. Rachel liked to sing and she was good, but it was never her passion, she preferred to fly. Rachel's family was rich, but not as rich as the others she knew who were just like her and her dads were as naïve as they come. She was tired of being told she couldn't do something and then two months later being told that she should be doing that same thing she was told not to do. So she quit. Faked and injury and told her fathers she wanted to move. So now she found herself in Lima, Ohio.
Rachel was being a coward. She hid. She told no one they were moving, changed her phone number and e-mail address and dropped off the face of the earth and into Ohio. Now she sang instead of flying. Was a diva as opposed to the normal well rounded girl she had been. She was hated instead of loved, but in the end it gave her the anonymity she craved. Unfortunately in a town like Lima it only took one of two things for any of your secrets to be exposed to the entire town. The first was having someone dig too far into your past and the other was for your past to magically appear in town without warning, and that was Rachel's current dilemma.
Her sophomore year had been full of fake crushes and baby drama. She let everyone believe she liked Finn and when she dated him it led to fewer slushie facials so when he told her he loved her before regionals she stayed with him. Summer had been fine with no one around but she still found him ridiculously dull. So when fall rolled around she was actually looking forward to the inevitable break up that would come when school started. What she didn't expect was Sam.
They were in the middle of Empire State of Mind when she saw him Blonde hair shaggy as ever and foot tapping along to the beat. Sure her hair was darker and shorter but there is no way he wouldn't recognize her. She would just have to avoid him for as long as possible. She looked over at him and saw him staring right at her. He knew. She had to get out of there, like yesterday. She turned to run when an arm snaked around her waist pulling her into a hard chest. "You really thought you could hide forever?" Rachel had to get out of there. She stepped hard on his foot and disappeared into the crowd.
A/N: Please let me know what you guys think. If you don't like it I won't waste my time continuing it.
