This one is a Samchel story instead of a Blainchel story. I hope you enjoy. I don't own Glee. R&R
My name is Rachel Berry and I am a Junior at McKinley High School. I am co-captain of our school's glee club and because of this I am considered to be a loser. Of course, this rule doesn't apply to our other co-captain, Finn Hudson. Oh no, to the rest of the population at our school he is considered to be a God just because he can kick a stupid ball around. Even though our football team has never won. Do I sound bitter? That's because he's a douche and for the last few months I've been in an unhappy relationship with him. It didn't start out as unhappy obviously. Otherwise I wouldn't have got with him in the first place. I've been crazy about him for about a year, when we first started the glee club and then, he finally asked me out so I obviously said yes and now we're both miserable…..Or at least I am.
I walk into the choir room at the end of the day and go and sit next to my best friend, Kurt Hummel. I could see Finn looking at me oddly from the back of the room before I sat down. Probably because I didn't move instantly to sit next to him. I don't go all goo-goo eyed over him anymore and I think he realises that and doesn't like it. We're just not right for each other and I was too love sick before to realise it. Kurt looks over at me and I know he wants to say something to me about Finn but he changes his mind. I don't have many friends in glee club so I am grateful for Kurt's friendship and I'm definitely grateful for the fact that he was able to see when I didn't want to talk about something. I could see other people looking at me funny but I didn't care. It wasn't anybody else's business that I didn't want to sit next to Finn just this once so I just sat there and waited for Mr. Schue's arrival and tried to ignore everyone staring at me from behind. Thankfully, before I did anything stupid, like turn around and bite people's heads off, our teacher arrived.
"So, before we start our meeting today, I have a special announcement to make." he told us, with a giant grin on his face. We waited a couple more moments in silence before Santana Lopez spoke up.
"Tell us then. We're not mind-readers." Santana whined from the back row, where she was sitting next to her best friends, Quinn Fabray and Brittany Pierce.
"We have a new student. Everybody, please welcome Sam Evans." as he said this he started clapping and a boy with blonde hair and big lips walked in. Suddenly my world stopped, he was gorgeous. When he started talking, he had a sexy southern accent that made me go a little weak at the knee's. "Hi, my name is Sam. I'm a Junior, I moved here from Tennesse when my dad got a new job." he scanned the room looking at all of us individually and when he finally looked at me, he smiled and gave a small wink. When he looked away, Kurt poked me in the side with his elbow and gave me a devilish grin.
"To help make Sam feel more comfortable, I want each of you to introduce yourselves. Let start over here." Mr. Schue said, pointing on the other side of the room to me.
"Hi, my name is Artie Abrams. I'm a Junior and I've been in the glee club since we began. I usually rap when it is required and I play the guitar." I saw Sam smile at this so I assumed he played the guitar too. Artie was in a wheelchair and sometimes he felt like it got in the way of some of the things he did. In actual fact, he overcame a lot despite the wheelchair. Artie was another one I was kind of close too, not totally though.
"I'm Sugar, Artie's girlfriend. I'm really rich." that was all she said. There wasn't a lot to her. Like she said, she's really rich and she can't really sing.
"I'm Tina. I'm also a Junior like Artie and Sugar and I'm one of New Directions original members and I can play the piano." she smiled up at Sam and Mr. Schue. Tina is a lot like me. She's going to be me when I graduate. She has a powerful voice and she also has the same ambition I have.
"I'm Mike, Tina's boyfriend and a Senior. I dance and I also play football." he said in a quiet voice. He slung his arm around Tina and looked over at Sam and they both shared a smile. It showed that they'd already met. Mike was a nice boy but he was really quiet. Once you got to know him though, he was loyal and sweet.
"I'm Mercedes. Another original member and I'm also a Junior. I'm the club's diva and I'm going to be the next Beyonce." she said proudly. Mercedes and I don't get along. We're too similar and we clash, which is strange because me and Kurt are very similar and if anything, we make each other better.
"I'm Quinn. Head Bitch in Charge and Head Cheerio." I stopped listening when Quinn started speaking. Quinn is my biggest tormenter. In fact, all of my members of the "Unholy Trinity", as they liked to call themselves, took pleasure in tormenting me. I zoned out so much that Kurt had to nudge me in the side when it came to my turn to introduce myself.
"Rachel, would you like to come back to planet earth and introduce yourself to Sam here." Mr. Schue said, trying to stifle a chuckle.
"If you could for once in your pathetic little life think about someone else for a change, you might have more friends." Quinn sneered from the back row. I could hear some snickering coming from the back row and I was about to sink back into my chair when I realised that I needed to stand up for myself.
"Fuck off Quinn. How would you know anything about my life? It's not like you take any interest in it so why don't you just shut up." I snarled back at her. She looked shocked and opened her mouth to retort back at me, when someone I wasn't expecting shot her down.
"Who's being selfish now Quinn." Quinn and I both turned towards Sam who was now looking at Quinn with furious eyes. "At least give her a chance. Go ahead Rachel, I'm looking forward to hearing about you. I've already heard quite a lot about you." he told me, looking at me expectantly.
"Erm…well, I'm a Senior and I'm going to NYADA when I graduate. It's always been my dream to be a Broadway star and I'm going to make it even if it kills me." I told Sam proudly.
"She'd rather be a bossy, manipulative hobbit than have any friends." Santana said from the back row, when I turned my head to look at her, she was sitting there looking bored and filing her nails.
"You're all just jealous because my Hot Jewish American Princess is going to make it out of Lima. She's going to make something of her life and the rest of you are going to be stuck here." Puck said proudly to everyone else. He looked towards me then gave me a massive grin. Kurt took my hand to show me he was proud of me too. "Are you going to let them talk to her like that Finn or are you going to sit there like you always do?" Puck turned on Finn now, his ex-best friend. Finn just shrugged. I didn't expect anything less if I was honest.
"Welcome to our little group Sam, I hope you're very happy here." Mr. Schue said, trying to diffuse the tension. He went and sat in a spare chair a couple of seats away from me. "Let's get on with today's lesson then, shall we."
