A.N./ Hi, I'm back with a new fanfic! I wanted to try something a little bit different so even though the ship is still Blaine and Rachel, the story takes place in the beginning of season 2 BUT, it's not the same scenario. In fact it's what I think would have happened if Blaine and Rachel had met before Kurt and Blaine met.
So, let's start...
Disclaimer: I sadly don't own Glee or any of its characters, if I did I would be rich and best friend with Jonathan Groff.
OooO
Rachel sighed. She was still in the store looking for the right song to sing, and she had entered the store almost an hour ago. She flipped through the music sheets, hoping to finally find something that would fit. She needed to find the right song to sing to Finn so he would forgive her. She was still searching when someone suddenly appeared in front of her, making her gasp.
"Looking for something?" She heard.
She lifted her head, seeing the man who was talking to her. He was good-looking, his smile immediately got her attention. He had black hair with a lot of gel, and he seemed to be the same age as her.
"I, Hum, yeah." She stuttered, she wasn't really used to stranger talking randomly to her.
"For something special?" He asked, smiling.
Oh, his smile... Why was it so hypnotizing?
"Actually, I need a song to apologize to my boyfriend."
The boy raised his eyebrow at her, and she didn't know why, but she explained him.
"He kind of told me that the way I dressed made me look uptight and when, after a series of events, I decided to change my style and I came to school dressed like Britney Spears in 'One more time' he told me that he wanted me to dress like I used to, and I told him that I didn't want to, and that if he wanted me to then he had to quit football and he didn't quit so I decided to dress like I used to but I was still mad at him and..." She stopped when she realized it was maybe a lot to say to someone you just met. "Let's just say I want to apologize because I overreacted."
He didn't say anything for a few seconds, frowning, and then he just said: "Well, first of all, if your boyfriend thinks your style his lame, then he's the one who's lame."
Rachel blushed as she felt his look on her. She was dressed as always, skirt and sweater. She had stopped the 'Britney style', since Finn didn't like it.
"And secondly, he doesn't have any right to tell you what you should wear or not." He continued. "So I honestly don't understand why you want to apologize."
"Because I'm sorry for the way I acted." Rachel answered, not really sure of herself.
"Well then," he said, grabbing some music sheets, "I think that song would be great."
Rachel looked at the piece of paper, reading 'The Only Exception' on it. She wanted to thank the mysterious guy for the suggestion but she couldn't find him.
On her way home, Rachel tried to forget her encounter with the guy in the music store. She didn't even knew him, so why was she thinking about him? It's true he had a beautiful smile... But that wasn't a reason. And she had Finn. She had to focus on Finn.
OooO
"I sort of met someone." Kurt said.
They were at the Lima Bean, taking a coffee. Rachel had apologize to Finn, and now they were okay. He was back in the football team, and she wasn't really glad, but he was her boyfriend so she accepted it. She needed something to distract her, which is why she had wanted to take a coffee with Kurt.
"Really? When? Who is he? What does he look like? Does he like Patti LuPone? She asked.
"Well,I met him when I was at Dalton. His name is Blaine and he's the soloist of the Warblers and I know he's supposed to be out of my league because he's the competition but he's handsome, he sings lovely and he does like Patti LuPone. We took a coffee and talked with some of his friends and... I think I like him."
"That's great!" Rachel said. "I'm so happy for you!"
And it was true, she honestly was really happy for him. She knew it hadn't been easy for Kurt to be the only openly gay guy at school, and also the fact that he had liked Finn, even thought Rachel was the one Finn liked, and also Finn wasn't gay. But now, he seamed so happy.
"So... Is he gay?" She asked.
"He definitely is. He confirmed it to me." Kurt nodded.
Rachel smiled. She hoped something good would finally happen to Kurt, because he really deserved to be happy.
OooO
The following day she went to school, and everything went as usual. At the end of the day she headed toward the music classroom for the Glee club. The Glee club was the only moment of the day when she could really be herself, without caring about what the others thought of her. They may didn't like her every time, they may find her loud and annoying, but still, the Glee club was her family.
But when she entered the room, Santana and Finn were yelling at each other. That's a thing they were doing a lot this time, Finn pointing the fact that maybe Brittany was more than a friend to Santana.
"You don't have any rights to say that!" Santana shouted.
"Of course I do, if it's so obvious!" Finn yelled.
"No! You don't! Plus, you don't know anything about it!" Santana yelled back.
"Come on Santana, admit it, we all know the truth." Finn said.
"Oh, now you want to talk about admitting, about truth?" Santana said.
She noticed Rachel in the corner of her eyes and turned to face her.
"Well, Rachel," Santana started, "your boyfriend lied to you because we did slept together."
Rachel breath got caught in her chest. She couldn't believe it. Santana was lying, right?
"Rachel..." She heard Finn say.
She turned to face him, she wanted to know the truth. Needed to know that what Santana's was saying was a lie.
"It it true?" She asked.
"Rachel I..." He started.
"Did you really slept with Santana and lied to me about it?" Rachel, said, not caring about the other members of the Glee club who were watching them.
"I..." Fin said, without continuing his sentence.
"Damn it Finn! Just say the truth!" She almost yelled.
Finn looked at his shoes, like he was ashamed. "Yes."
Rachel felt sick, and she couldn't stand being here, in front of him. She felt a tear streaming down her cheek and she ran out of the room. She ran in the hallway, heading toward the toilets. When she arrived, she closed the door behind her and fell on the ground, sobbing.
She couldn't believe it. How could Finn did this to her? It's true she had lied to Finn when she had tell him she had slept with Jesse, but then she had admitted that they hadn't done anything. But Finn... Finn had lied to her face, saying that he loved her and that he hadn't slept with Santana.
She was hurt, and unfortunately, Rachel didn't really made good choices when she was hurt. Which is probably why she went to Noah. They made out a bit, but then he said he didn't want to betray Finn. That's when she realized that she had made a huge mistake. Because Finn had slept with Santana when they weren't together, but currently, Finn and Rachel were a couple, which meant that Rachel had cheated on her boyfriend.
OooO
She had admitted to Finn that she had cheated on him. He had not reacted well, and had broke up with her. And now she was back in the music store, looking for a song. Weirdly, she wasn't even surprised. It's not like Finn would have been happy to learn that his girlfriend had kissed his best friend, so she had expected him not to react well, but... now she didn't know what to do. She had to apologize because she needed him. She had been mad at him, yes, but she loved him nevertheless.
"Still looking for a song to apologize to your boyfriend?" A voice suddenly said next to her.
Rachel gasped and when she turned, she was startled to see the mysterious young man she had met at the music shop a few days ago.
"Actually, he's my ex-boyfriend." She said shyly.
"Oh?" He said, like he wanted to know more.
And like the other time, it seamed so natural to talk to him even though she didn't know him.
"I learned that he slept with a girl when we were on a break, and he lied to me about it, and I was mad so I kissed his best friend and let's say he didn't take it well." She explained.
The guy nodded, he seemed to be thinking.
"Well," he said after a moment, "from what I know, your ex-boyfriend made mistakes too. So why do you feel the need to apologize?"
Rachel wasn't expected that, and she didn't really what to answer to it.
"Because I love him," she finally said, " and we're like that, we break up and we get back together all the time, but I know we are meant to be together."
"I don't want to be rude, but he doesn't seem to be the perfect boyfriend..." He started.
"Well at least he didn't crack an egg on my head." Rachel said quietly, and the guy looked at her weirdly. "It's a long story." She just said.
"Anyway, I think you could find way better." He said smiling.
"It's just... It's not like there are a lot of guy who wants to date me." Rachel said, her expression saddening.
"I'm sure there are. I mean, you are beautiful, and you seem intelligent, and probably talented since you hang out in this store a lot."
Rachel blushed. Was he flirting with her? They started to talk a little bit and he was funny and interresting, but then, Rachel's phone vibrated. She took it in her hands, and saw it was her father, asking her to go home.
"I'm sorry, I gotta go." Rachel said, before leaving the store.
It's only when she was in the bus that she realized that she hadn't take the mysterious guy's phone number. And she didn't even knew his name. Why hadn't she thought of asking him what was his name? It was a basic information and she had forget it. Well, she hoped she would see him another time.
OooO
"He's like a Disney prince." Kurt said. "I can't wait for you to meet Blaine!"
They were at the Lima Bean, waiting for Blaine, because Kurt wanted to introduce him to Rachel. She was happy to finally meet the guy Kurt was talking day and night about.
"I can't wait either." Rachel admitted.
Finally, someone approached the table.
"Hi!" The person said.
Rachel lifted her head with a smile to greet him, but her expression changed as she recognized the guy she had met two times. The only difference was that this time, he wore a Dalton Academy uniform. Blaine seemed to have recognize her as well. It was awkward.
"Blaine, this is Rachel, my best friend, and Rachel, this is Blaine." Kurt said happily.
Rachel decided to act like it was the first time she had seen him. "Nice to meet you." She said, smiling.
"Nice to meet you too." He responded, which meant he had chose play along and act as if he had never met her."
She tried to listen to Kurt telling how he and Blaine had met, but she couldn't. All she could do use on was Blaine. She couldn't believe it. Her mysterious guy was Kurt's crush.
OooO
A.N./ This is the end of the first chapter! I would love to know what you think about it :)
