Ok so trying something different. A fan/follower had made a suggestion to me. It was a Faberritana suggestion, and angsty. So hope you like it. First chapter is short, gotta let the inspiration come to me. It's basically setting up the story. Hope you like it.
Senior year was in full swing. Everyone was starting to make plans for their future. Rachel was just trying to survive. Rachel would normally be wearing her short skirts with tights and sweaters. Wearing her sexy schoolgirl librarian chic look. But not anymore. Her appearance changed to sweats trying to cover as much of her body as possible. People noticed the change and would make fun of her for not wearing her usual outfits. Rachel didn't give the jocks the satisfaction of responding. Letting them think they got to her. What she was hiding was so much worse, that getting a slushy facial was nothing.
"Alright guys who's ready for…" Mr. Shue trailed off watching Rachel walk into the choir room for their first glee meeting. She was wearing a grey sweatshirt and sweat pants. Her hair was hiding her face, and she was holding her books close to her chest. "Rachel?"
Rachel took a seat. "Yea Mr. Shue?" she asked not looking up.
"Is everything alright? Your look its…"
"Non-Dwarflike," Santana finished.
"Maybe I don't want to be dwarflike anymore. Maybe my old clothes got ruined somehow. Maybe I haven't done laundry yet. Maybe I just don't care about my appearance. Maybe I just want to focus on my future and not about my looks or what the people in this building think. Maybe I'm growing up. So maybe we can turn our attention back to Mr. Shue and start working on Sectionals or getting more members. Looks like we might've lost a few," Rachel said turning her attention back to the front.
There were three faces missing this year. Sam was gone, he moved again when his father got a job. He went back to Tennessee. Zisis only joined glee because Puck bribed her. That didn't continue into the next year. And Quinn… well Quinn was rebelling. She was dressing in all black and her hair was now pink. Yes pink. Santana and Brittany were still in glee but had their cheerios uniforms back. So who knows how that will affect the club.
Rachel didn't even bother paying attention to Mr. Shue. He was going on about ways to recruit members. He suggested putting themselves out there again, but try in the cafeteria this time. Show what they can do. Rachel kind of rolled her eyes at the suggestion. They did that last year and failed then too. Once dismissed Rachel didn't go home right away. She went to the auditorium until she was kicked out by the janitorial staff. Then she would walk to the park and stayed there until it was dark before making the walk home. She now dreaded the walk home. No one knew why her house was no longer a home.
