Hey guys this is my new fanfic Show Choir Summer Camp. it's based on Glee. so basically you have your glee characters from Mckinley (New Directions) that all go to a show choir summer camp. of course it wont be all smooth. feel free to review with any ideas to help me :) oh and by the way. imagine that Kurt didn't transfer to Dalton, I'm playing it that Blaine's family moved so if was convenient for him to go to Mckinley instead so he transferred. Blaine and Kurt are NOT together at this point. just friends ;) you'll see with how it plays out.
Rachel-
Rachel looked back at Mckinley as she put her suitcase, that was pink with gold stars on, in the large compartmet under the bus. She and her peers, as she would say, from New Directions were going on a trip to a Show Choir Summer Camp for the summer that was about two hours away from their usual homes. -I really do hope that the football neanderthals didn't bring any slushies. Why do we have to take the bus that drops us off on the way to the football camp? stupid jocks...- she thought and scowled to herself as she climbed the few steep steps to the top of the stairs, struggling. If it was last summer then Finn would've helped her over the last two or so and showed her that cute lopsided smile that she'd always liked so much, but this year was different. After Beth was put up for adoption Quinn started hanging round Finn again, acting flirtatious. Within two weeks Quinn and Finn or 'Fuinn' were back together. Rachel could still remember the moment she'd found this out vividly. She was putting her chemistry books from the previous lesson into her locker when Quinn and Finn had strolled past her holding hands and talking about their next date night at Breadstix. They had then stopped at the end of the row of lockers, kissed lightly, and then went their seperate ways to the next lesson. Rachel knew that Quinn had done this on purpose because as she walked away round the corner, Quinn flashed Rachel her ultimate 'I Win,' Queen Bitch smirk. That night Rachel had practically cried herself to sleep knowing that she had yet again lost her chance with Finn.
Sighing heavily she walked down the bus aisle looking for a free seat, taking note of who people were sat with. All the jocks took up the front half of the bus just as she thought they would. Azimio was sat with Karofsky on the front two seats laughing and joking around. they laughed at her and Karofsky stood up "hey man hands" he said and pulled out a red 'Big Quench' cup as she turned to face him.
"Karofsky grow u-" Rachel said not able to finish her sentence before the icy red liquid hit her face. she gasped stepping back slightly and wiped it free from her eyes. "up" she finished before carrying on down the aisle with red slushie stains all over her cream and red carousel horse sweater.
Once she had passed all the jocks she finally got to the glee club. There was Sam sat with Santana, Santana was giving him a lecture about the size of his mouth and Sam clearly couldn't get a word in edgeways for the latina girl throwing insults left right and center. Sam glanced at Rachel with the 'Help Me' expression gimmering in his eyes, she couldn't help but smile at this. Her smile vanished as she got to the next row of seats. Obviously there was Quinn sat with Finn. The couple glanced at the slushie clad brunette. Quinn used her Queen Bitch smirk and Finn just looked at her expressionless. she almost paused at the sight of his soft, beautiful brown eyes but instead she forced herself to frown and carried on. The next row was a specially made seat for disable people. That was where Artie and Brittany sat.
"But I don't get it...how can fish breath under water? I mean like...we can't breath under water and we're humans so how can fish do it?" Brittany asked Artie batting her eyelids in confusion. Artie just smiled sweetly at this and placed a hand on the confused blonde's knee.
"Well fish have these things on the side of their heads called gills so that they can breath underwater." he told her smiling kindly. Rachel smiled before once again walking forward hearing Brittany asking more confused questions. There was Mike and Tina in the next row discussing some sort of Asian group on Twitter. The row after that was Puck sat on his own texting and grumbling something to himself about not going with the football payers to their camp. "Rachel!". Rachel heard her name being called and she looked up. smiling back at her from the back four seater row was Mercedes, Kurt and Blaine.
"Come join us" Kurt said smiling and gesturing wildly for Rachel to sit in the free seat next to Mercedes.
Kurt, of course was wearing his usual designer clothes complete with perfectly gelled hair into a quiff and an expensive looking scarf round his neck loosely. Blaine was in a blue checkered t-shirt, skinny blue jeans, a red bow tie and his hair gelled back or 'product head' as Kurt called him. Mercedes had her hair curly and hanging down round her shoulders complete with a purple headband. She was wearing normal casual jeans, a purple t-shirt and some gold necklaces she always wore. Rachel smiled and nodded before sitting down.
"I hate them neanderthal jocks" Rachel told them and sighed as she used her hand to wipe the corn syrup from the slushie out of her hair.
Blaine tutted "we dont deserve this...getting slushied nearly every day. at least we'll all get a break at camp right?" he said optimistically "I mean...it's a show choir camp so no more football guys...I do like football though but I'm short so...yeah. I'd rather not play it and just watch instead." he smiled at the group to his left, running a hand over his hair to check his hair was still perfect. Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Blaine firstly your hair is fine. it always is you product head. Secondly we were used to getting slushied before you came. you just get used to carrying round a raincoat, umberella and a spare change of clothes." Kurt told Blaine and patted his shoulder "Nothing is going to change unfortunatly. the neanderthals tend not to be capable of changing"
Blaine frowned slightly at Kurt "Fine. I think things could change...how much can the football guys think that Glee club is for losers?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"Do I really have to say anything?" Rachel said sighing looking at Blaine. She gestured to herself covered in Red slushie stains.
Mercedes let out a rather high pitched chuckle then stopped looking between Rachel and Blaine "well put it this way Anderson, they hate us that much to put us in dumpsters, Kurt particularly, throw icy cold drinks of doom on us daily and vandalise posters and yearbook pictures...self explanatory much?"
By the end or Mercedes' rant about the hatred and personal vendetta by the football jocks towards the glee club where at somepoint Blaine had joined in, Rachel had zoned out her eyes scanning along the rows of seats she could see from where she was sat. Because of Finn's height, his head could be see above his seat. Rachel watched as his head lowered down slowly and she could see through the gap between his and Quinn's seat just as their lips met. she shuddered and jumped as something hit her leg. her head shot up as she looked up wide eyed at Kurt, Blaine and Mercedes who were all looking at her. she glanced down at her leg. It was just Kurt's hand. Kurt took his hand back and all three of them remained in silence as Rachel looked back up at them.
"What!" Rachel exclaimed scowling at them "Why are you all looking at me like that? and scare me half to death why don't you?" she scolded.
Blaine had to chuckle lightly but quickly silenced himself when Rachel shot him a death glare.
"you were staring at Ice Queen and Frankenteen...hey that ryhmes!" Mercedes told Rachel then smiled slightly "Rachel you need to get over this obsession with Finn. he's back together with Quinn. we all knew it would come to this so you need to stop staring at him so devotedly" she told her and smiled friendily.
Kurt nodded in agreement "yeah Rachel...once I knew that Finn was completely not interested as well as completely straight I came to my senses. especially when he started dating you or Quinn...I'm not too sure. there was so much of a pick and mix between you and Quinn I wan't exactly sure who he was dating and when. you've missed your chance. you need to get over it"
Rachel frowned at both of them and crossed her arms then realised that Blaine had yet to say something about the matter "Anything to say Blaine? you are the only one out of us that hasn't decided to speak up?" she said and narrowed her eyes slightly at the dark haired boy.
Blaine looked at Rachel and blinked, a little taken aback by her anger and annoyance. "ermm...I like musicals...and coffee?" he said raising an eyebrow at the brunette. At this remark Kurt and Mercedes burst out laughing and high fived eachother but then stopped as Rachel narrowed her eyes and began to speak.
"No I mean about the Finn matter. Don't be so Pedantic." Rachel told them and sighed looking out of the window "I'm not obsessing I'm just thinking that maybe...maybe things between me and Finn would've worked out if SHE hadn't gone and messed it up" she sighed. trees and motorway railings passed by her window, she thought it was kind of soothing. Rachel looked back at her friends on her row.
Mercedes shook her head "Rachel. get that idea out of your head. Finn and you equals not gonna happen. he chose Ice Queen accept it." she told her.
"Fine but first oppurtunity I get I'm straight in there!" Rachel exclaimed pointed it Blaine, Kurt and Mercedes. She lowered her hand when people turned to look at what she was shouting about. Her cheeks turned red before she laughed "atleast I'm not alone like Puckerman. he's sat all on his lonesome"
Kurt laughed to himself and elbowed Blaine lightly. Both the countertenor and the guitarist began to sing.
"All by myself, Don't wanna be! all by myself any more!" they both sang together grinning. Mercedes joined in also by the second time they sung it.
Rachel tooked at the three swaying and singing and couldn't help but to laugh and grin at them "you guys...you're so stupid" she said nearly in hysterics but then joined in.
The rest of the bus trip went really quickly and the majority of the time Rachel's thoughts avoided anywhere near the subject of Finn and Quinn.
"This is is guys!" Rachel said grinning, obviously cheered up by her three friends.
"Show Choir Summer Camp!" All four of them cheered together.
All of the glee club people stood up and formed a queue down the aisle to get off. As Rachel walked she was tripped up by Karofsky. she wetn flying forward into Quinn.
"Watch it man hands!" Quinn turned and yelled at Rachel before scowling and hurrying off the bus.
Finn stood at the bottom step looking up at Rachel with the sad brown eyes before walking off and turning to Quinn.
Rachel's eyes met Finn's for the one second before he turned and walked away. She was showing signs of weakness and distraction -Snap out of it Rachel you're not that weak!- she mentally scolded herself before scrambling quickly to her feet.
Kurt, Blaine and Mercedes passed her and nodded geting off the cough "hurry Rachel" they called up to her.
Rachel was angry. No. Angry was not the right word, She was fuming. Karofsky had publically humiliated her and took the step further than the slushy. She turned to him angrily.
"What was that for? you tripped me on purpose?" Rachel yelled at him.
Karofsky blinked in shock "I didn't mean to trip you. I simply stuck my foot out to stretch and a Glee loser like you just so happened to be walking past." he looked to his friends smugly and they all let out a few small smug chuckles at his remark. this only made Rachel more angry.
Rachel narrowed her eyes "Karofsky you are a homophobic douche that needs to get his act together. rather than harrasing and generally carrying out a personal vendetta against the glee club why don't you go to your football club and come back to school after summer with a different attitude towards us. try being nice! this gets you no where okay? if the roles were reversed and you were the 'loser' then I wouldn't torture you as much as you do us. Leave. Us. Alone!" she practically screamed at him. Before she could stop herself her hand reached out and struck Karofsky round the face. The whole bus silenced at the sound of the cold hard slap. All the jocks turned to look at Rachel. They were all white faced and wide eyed.
Rachel made a satisfied noise before turning on her heel, her skirt spinning as she did and stormed down the stairs.
New Directions were all at the bottom staring at her "What?...he deserved it?" she said and pulled her case out of the luggage department.
The driver closed the luggage compartment under the bus and the main bus door closed with a hiss. Rachel could see inaudible curses being shouted and loser signs from the jocks as the bus pulled away.
"Stupod jocks" she heard Mercedes mutter as she checked her hair in her compact mirror taht she had pulled from her pocket.
Rachel turned to the camp that had a sign that read 'Show Choir Summer Camp' and a big gate infront of it. Beyond the wall as she stood on her toes she could see two rather large concrete buildings, a small concrete building, quite a few log cabins and the whole place was surrounded in woods. As she returned her body weight to her whole fott instead of just her foot she heard the conversation of the group she was stood in.
"So basically we've been dumped in the middle of nowhere? I can tell because it's surrounded with trees..." Mercedes said raising an eyebrow at Rachel.
"Hey!" Blaine said getting Kurt, Mercedes and Rachel's attention, laughing at a joke in his head he seemed to find funny "the tree to people ratio is fifty to one" he laughed again.
Kurt Raised an eyebrow at Blaine and let out a small chuckle whereas Mercedes joined in with his hysterics. Rachel simply laughed lightly at all their reactions to Blaine's joke and hysterics.
"Well I for one think this will be a good excercise to sing outside our own choir room or auditorium. think of it as a good new excercise" Rachel said grinning.
"Right guys! this is show choir summer camp! I'll be your guid for this summer. so firstly come and get a letter from me on your way in. it has a map and dorm allocations on it" The Male voice sounded over everybody's conversations. Rachel avoided looking at the mae guide. She knew that voice anywhere.
Looking up, her thoughts were confirmed. She hadn't seen him since the fateful egging in the parking lot at Mckinley. She stepped forward. Both her and his eyes full of confusion and mystery.
"Jesse?" Rachel breathed staring up at the male. who just looked down at her mouth open and eyes shocked.
