This is my first fanfiction of Glee so please don't judge me! . I hope that you'll enjoy! ;)


Rachel Berry was nervous about going to William McKinley High School. She had a hard time at her old school last year, she was ridiculously shy, didn't have a lot of friends, she's never even had a boyfriend. Of course, Rachel did think she wasn't pretty enough for anybody. She thought she was fat, flat chested, and had a big nose.

She loved singing as a child, a lot of people would tell her to be a singer everytime she'd break into a song. Her parents told her that she has a God given talent, but Rachel was traumatized. In third grade, she sang in front of her crush. He had black hair and had the cutest face. She would cry everytime she thought of it.

After she sang to him, he stayed quiet. Rachel was embarrassed, thinking he might have hated it. She ran out the classroom crying and there were three girls who bullied her and they made fun of her for having a crush. There was a brunette, a blonde, and a redhead. Rachel always envied their beauty. They told her, "Your singing sucks", "I hate your voice", and "If I was a boy, I'd never go out with you". That was the last day of third grade.

She still remembered those girls' names but she wasn't sure about her crush. She got over him after the girls laughed at her, thinking she wasn't pretty enough. "I was only eight", Rachel thought. She tried to guess his name, "Was it Frank? Flynn? Fabio?", she said to herself. She just laughed it off, she was in her room reading a book with her hair in a ponytail and glasses. She felt like a nerd, luckily, she got her reading glasses in middle school so those girls weren't there. It was the night before she went to her new school.

"Honey? Are you going to bed?", her mother asked. "Yeah mom, I'm just getting finished with the last chapter", she smiled. "You'll have to sleep early if you want to get there on time, it is a long ride", her mother informed. Rachel nodded, once her mother left, she closed the book. She took off her glasses and switched the light off.

It was now six thirty in the morning when Rachel's alarm went off. She yawned and thought about what today would be like. She tried not to think too much about it and just got ready. Knee high socks was pretty much what she wore every day of her entire school life. That and her hair were the only things she liked about herself, because the socks cover up her legs and her hair is just beautiful itself.

What horrified her the most was looking at the mirror to check herself. She felt ok about her outfit, "Whatever", she said before leaving her room. Her mother made pancakes downstairs, Rachel's favorite. "Hi Honey, just making something special for your first day", said her mother smiling. Once she finished eating, her mother gave her a ride to leave for high school.

Rachel looked out the windows, "Wow, this is a big school". Her mother laughed, "You know they have a glee club here". Her daughter sounded shocked, "Really?". Rachel felt anxious about the memory of third grade. Her mother read her mind, "Oh sweetie, don't tell me that you won't join just because of three girls". Rachel frowned, "But mom, they made fun of me because I sang to my first crush". Her mother contradicted, "Well honey, that was just one time, if you don't join, you'll regret it because you never know".

Rachel frowned, she didn't tell her mother the other times she was embarrassed by her singing, but she had a point, she would never know. Once they were finished talking, they had arrived, "Bye Mom, I love you". "Love you too sweetheart, knock 'em dead!", Rachel smiled as her mother drove off.

She turned the other way facing her new school. "Okay Rachel, breathe in, it's hard to fail but never trying is worse". She happily entered the school, there was a huge pinboard in the hallway. Rachel looked around to find a "New Directions Auditions" poster. There was room for three girls and three boys. Rachel began to think that she'd have a rare chance of getting in but she took a chance. The auditions took place in the auditorium, of course.

She happily walked down the hall then, she bumped into someone and fell to the floor. She placed her hand to her head "ow", she muttered. "I'm so sorry", a male voice said, he helped Rachel up. "No, I'm the one, I guess I'm just-", she paused as soon as she met the boy's eyes, she suddenly felt love struck. "So cute", she finished. He smiled, "What?", Rachel realized what she had said, "I said I think I'm just clumsy".

He smiled again, "I'm Finn", he said reaching his hand out. Rachel nervously shook his hand. "I don't think I've seen you around", he said. "I'm pretty new here", she hated saying that, "I'm Rachel by the way", she flashed a smile. "Well it was nice to meet you Rachel", he walked away to wherever he was going. Rachel looked back at him and smiled, he reminded her of someone. She continued to focus on going to the auditions.

It wasn't that bad, there were about thirty something students in line. She lined up behind a boy who turned around. "Hubba hubba, what's your name baby?", he said. Rachel scoffed, "Well my name is Rachel thank you very much". "Nice", he said. After about thirty minutes after talking to him, it was finally her turn.

She decided to sing the Star Spangled Banner Banner. She began singing her heart out. She started belting out the song. "O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave". It was silent, "NEXT!", one of the judges shouted. As she exited, she wondered if she was good enough or not. Rachel found the sign up list for new students, nobody seemed to be at the booth.

"Rachel Berry", she told them. "Here you go Ms. Berry", the man kindly said handing her her schedule. She headed for the geometry class when and took a seat. She folded her hands on the desk and crossed her right leg over her left. This day couldn't get more boring than this.
