Howdy! Man it's been a while since I've submitted something. This is my first Glee fic so be gentle.
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING. If I did there would be all kinds of changes :)
I've introduced an OC into the Glee world (original I know). Brittana, Fabarry, Some other random couples. Mercedes/Sam, later Finn/Jesse cause it's a fun pairing. Others stay the same as in the show. Rated for possible later chapters. This is just to test the waters so let me know what you think! I'd love some reviews or encouragements.
Rachel stood at her locker, her eyes darting around the dark hallway of the empty school. She smiled as she pulled out her backpack and shut the door, heading towards the exit of the school when she heard a voice coming from one of the classrooms. Rachel peeked in to see what she assumed to be a tall boy with fire red hair cleaning the desks, singing softly. Rachel couldn't understand what she was singing, mostly for the fact that it was in a different language, but she could hear that her voice was amazing. She found herself being caught up in the sound of her voice. She leaned against the door frame, studying the supposed boy's back. She was tall. Taller then most boys. At least 7"5' Rachel guessed, but she was slumped down so it was hard to tell. She had tanned skin as if the sun itself had kissed it. Rachel gasped softly as she stood, towering much higher then she previously thought, well over 8 feet she'd assumed. As soon as her eyes landed on Rachel, she stopped singing and blinked at her in slight confusion. Her eyes were electric green and reminded Rachel of neon signs and freckles dotted her face. She adjusted her thick, slightly taped up glasses and shifted nervously.
"May I help you madame?" She asked, her voice was low and gravely and had a thick french accent.
"I'm Rachel." Rachel said, for once finding herself unsure of what to say, her mind reeling, trying to remember if she had ever seen this boy before. She surely would have noticed someone this tall, but she couldn't remember ever meeting her. She smiled slightly, revealing a gap between her two front teeth.
"I know. You are Rachel Berry, top student and glee club leader." The girl said, a deep chuckle coming from her throat. Rachel blinked in astonishment.
"You know me? Has my reputation really reached that far? I mean, I know people have heard of me and not just from school, but from..." Rachel started before the girl held up a hand for her to be quiet.
"Non. I am a student here. I've been a classmate of yours for a very long time now." She said. Rachel stared at the hand in front of her. It was the size of a large dinner plate at least.
"You are? How come I don't remember seeing you? Are you sure you're talking about knowing me? I mean, I'm sure I would have remembered you, seeing as you're so tall and your voice is pretty amazing. Of course if you're just here for a few classes then I might not have met you because I'm always really busy studying and doing glee stuff that I wouldn't have noticed you. But I have been eating poorly lately, that has been known to effect memory..." Rachel said before taking a deep breath.
"Non. No one really notices me. It's alright. I am not offended." She said, smiling wider.
"What is your name?" Rachel asked.
"I am Sky. Sky Beaumont. Wonderful to meet you." Sky said, bowing slightly. Rachel smiled and found herself staring into Sky's green eyes. Her cheeks flushed and bit her bottom lip slightly, confusion drifting onto her face.
"Beaumont! I hope you're not lolly-gagging in there!" Said a harsh voice. Rachel spun around to find the janitor standing in the doorway, looking between Sky and Rachel, a small smile on his old face.
"Non monsieur . I was cleaning the desks." Sky said, smiling.
"Good. Don't want you slacking off now. Is this your girlfriend or something?" The janitor asked, looking at Rachel up and down. Sky blushed slightly, running her fingers through her hair and adjusting her glasses.
"Non monsieur. She's just a student here." She said.
"Alright well I'm sure you have plenty of time to socialize at school. Get back to work. The desks aren't going to clean themselves." The janitor said, wondering off and whistling a cheerful song.
"I'm sorry if I got you in trouble. It's just that I heard your voice and wanted to find out who it belonged to and why I have never heard it before and I guess I just lost track of things and oh my look at the time, I'd best be going bye!" Rachel said before dashing out of the door. Sky watched her go for a moment before following her, making sure she got to her car alright before returning to her task, singing as she worked.
Rachel pulled into her driveway and quickly got out of the car and ran to her room, briefly greeting her fathers as she ran by. She shut the door, tossed her bag by her desk and quickly dialed Finn's number.
"Hey Rach." Said a familiar voice on the other side.
"Hey Finn. I was wondering if you know of a boy named Sky Beaumont who goes to our school." Rachel said. She could swear that she heard Finn thinking on the other side before he sighed.
"Somewhat. I remember coach wanted him on the football or basketball team because he was so tall, but after that I haven't heard anything of him. I thought he moved away or went back to France or something." Finn said. Rachel chewed on her bottom lip quietly for a moment.
"Okay. I met him today and I felt horrible because I don't remember him." She said. She heard something in the background and Finn mumbled something.
"Hey I've gotta go. Are you alright?" Finn asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. I have homework to do. See you tomorrow." Rachel said. She heard the phone click on the other side and then silence and blinked at it for a second before sighing and shutting the phone. She flopped on her bed, deep in thought for a while, trying to remember the tall boy she had seen, only coming up with nothing in her mind. She sat up and sat at her desk, determined to do her homework without distractions.
Rachel made her way to glee club early as usual and sat down, waiting patiently. When Mr. Shue walked in, she jumped up and approached him quickly.
"Mr. Shue? Can I ask you something?" She asked.
"Sure Rachel. What's up?" He asked, sitting down on a stool.
"Well I've recently met a student who claims to have been here for quite some time but no one I talk to knows who this person is. His name is Sky Beaumont." She said. Mr. Shue thought for a while before smiling.
"Ah yes. I know him. I had him in homeroom last year. Good student. Quiet. Barely spoke any English. Really tall. From France actually. I heard he moved back though." He said, smiling down at Rachel. She brought her eyebrows together for a moment before nodding.
"I met him last night while I was staying late for practice and he has the most amazing singing voice I've ever heard, other then mine of course, and I was thinking maybe we could talk him into joining glee." She said.
"Well if you can convince him and if he still actually goes to school here, then feel free to invite him. We'd love to have more people in our group." Mr. Shue said, turning as the other glee members wondered in. Rachel took her seat and smiled at Finn as he wondered in, but her smile faded when she saw the state he was in. His hair was messed up and he was straightening his clothes. She smiled at her, his face slightly flushed.
"Hey Rach." He said, smiling goofily.
"Hey Finn. You alright?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah. Just rough housing with the guys on the football team you know?" Finn said, sitting down and sliding an arm around Rachel's shoulders. She nodded, her suspicions not quieted, but she stayed silent.
"Where's Quin?" Mercedes asked, looking around.
"Sue is making her stay late or something." Santana said from the back before turning back to Brittany. Glee was almost half over before Quin showed up wearing dark sunglasses, a pair of jeans and a long sleeved jacket zipped up. She sat in the back away from everyone else.
"Glad you could join us Quin. I was just about to assign pairs for this week's song. It's about choice. Pick someone who your voice would go great with." Will said. Quin looked around before sighing and looked around the room. Sam and Finn were talking to each other about some song. Everyone else was paired up except her and Rachel. She sat next to Rachel, who was refusing to look up at her. Rachel seem to be crumbling into herself more then she previously was before. She raised an eyebrow when Rachel didn't say anything and she looked at her face to see her biting her lip so hard blood was running down her chin.
"Rachel?" Quin started before Rachel stood and quickly ran out of the room, leaving her stuff behind and slamming the door behind her, leaving Quin to stare after her in confusion in her wake.
"Quin go check on her." Will said. Quin grabbed Rachel's things and followed her out. She heard her sniffling in the closes bathroom and went inside, looking around for a second before spotting Rachel, leaning against the wall in the corner, almost blending in with the white tiles.
"Rachel what's wrong?" Quin asked, worry in her voice. Rachel looked up at Quin, her eyes red and puffy.
"Why aren't you working with Finn?" Quin asked.
"He wanted to work with Sam." Rachel said, not moving her head. Quin blinked for a second before sighing and nodding. She knew why Finn didn't want to work with Rachel anymore.
"Look. Something about Finn has been fishy. Maybe you should look into it or something." She said before standing and going to the door. She looked back and saw Rachel still sitting in the same spot, unmoving. She wasn't even really sure if Rachel had heard anything she said. She turned and went to open the door when Rachel's voice stopped her dead in her tracks.
"He's cheating on me isn't he?" She asked softly. Her voice was barely a whisper. Quin looked down for a second before nodding.
"Yeah. With a good portion of the cheerios squad." She said softly. Rachel nodded.
"I figured as much. He's been strangely busy and hasn't wanted to get together or talk about anything anymore." She said, finally looking up at Quin. Her face was tear streaked and she looked like she was about to break down. She attempted to smile up at Quin, but it didn't reach her eyes. "Thank you for telling me." Quin looked down at her, feeling an over whelming need to comfort the woman in front of her. She walked over and reached out and gently touched Rachel's arm, only to be pushed back almost violently and finding herself staring into the eyes of a furious Rachel.
"Rachel?" Quin asked, thoroughly surprised at the rage she found in the eyes of the normally calm girl.
"No. I'm going to go talk to Finn. Thank you for confirming my suspicions." Rachel said, her voice deathly calm. Quin blinked at Rachel for a second before shaking her head and standing in front of the door.
"I can't let you do that. You go talk to him in the state you're in, you'll just end up doing something stupid." She said, looking Rachel in the eyes. What she saw shocked her. She saw pain and anger and complete defeat.
"Just let me go." Rachel said, her voice tired.
"Nope. You're going to come home with me." Quin said, gently taking Rachel's arm and leading her out of the bathroom to her car. Quin opened the passenger side door and then went over to the diver's side, sliding in gracefully, grateful for the large sunglasses she was wearing as she winced in pain. They were silent as Quin turned on her car and quietly pulled out of the parking lot. The car ride was silent as the streets seemed to fly by. Quin gently pulled to a stop at a stop light and glanced over at Rachel, surprised to find her watching her. She raised an eyebrow at the other girl and tried to smile, but it felt fake. She was sore, upset, and very worried about the other girl. She was rarely this quiet, if ever.
"You alright?" She asked gently.
"Where did you get the bruises?" Rachel asked. Quin blinked at her for a moment before she forced her smile to grow slightly.
"What bruises?" She asked.
"The ones on your eyes. And on your cheek." Rachel said, pointing in the general area of Quin's bruises, hidden under make-up. Quin blinked at her in surprise before looking at the light, watching as it changed to green and started driving again.
"It's nothing Rachel." She said quietly, her voice holding no malice. Rachel looked down at her hands for the rest of the ride, her eyes dark. When Quin stopped they were in Rachel's driveway and there was no other cars in sight. Quin looked at her hands on the steering wheel, trying to figure out what to say. She took a deep breath and looked over at Rachel.
"What was that all about?" She asked gently. Rachel looked up at her, tears in her eyes.
"Do you know how many times I was slushied today?" She asked. Quin looked at her for a moment before shaking her head. She could see Rachel's defenses failing her.
"7 times. I was slushied 7 times today. And I know they were waiting by my locker. Finn protected me and made sure I didn't get slushied so much. But now I have nothing. I knew before you even came in. I was praying that I wouldn't get picked with you because the slushies would get worse. And in all reality it's more then that, but I don't want to talk about it. Thank you for the ride." Rachel said, her eyes becoming guarded once more. Quin watched as Rachel picked up her bag and left the car, quickly going into the house and shutting the door. Quin sighed and sat in the driveway, attempting to decide if she should go after the girl before turning on the car and backing out of the driveway. She drove quickly to Santana's house, her mind deep in what she was going to do to Finn when she got her hands on him.
