A/N: I wanted to write a story about Rachel. I would love some opinions (:
Rachel Berry was many things. Beautiful, cheerleader, strong-headed, crazy in all the good ways, smart, nice, rich, stylish, but Rachel Berry was not a star. And being a star was something she had never wanted. In fact, as far as anyone had ever known, she wasn't even interested in singing, or dancing, or acting. Rachel Berry was a cheerleader, she was popular. She wasn't a star.
One day when her boyfriend, Noah Puckerman, saw her walk into the new Glee room, he was puzzled. His Rachel, singing? He stood outside the door and listened. She opened her mouth and suddenly, Puck didn't know what he was hearing. This beautiful sound floated out of her mouth. I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game. He had no idea why she was doing this, but she might possibly be the best singer, he'd ever heard. Ever.
Rachel's best friend, Quinn, had joined Glee shortly after her boyfriend had. And Quinn always brought Rachel with her. But this was something even Rachel's best friend, Quinn Fabray, wouldn't have, couldn't have, predicted. Rachel had the voice of an angel. Quinn couldn't believe her ears.
Mr. Shuester had been a Glee clubber in high school. When the spot for Glee directer opened, he took it. Granted he'd blackmailed Finn into the Glee club, but Finn brought so many others. Including Rachel Berry. All he knew about Rachel Berry was that she was head cheerleader, smart, and the only person that had ever been known to stand up to Sue Sylvester successfully. He admired her. But this, this voice that she had, that was something he did not know.
Kurt was jealous. He'd dreamt this would be his moment. His place to shine. And then Rachel Berry, miss gets everything and anything she's ever wanted, came in. She had a voice. A brilliant voice. The jealousy Kurt had. It would drive him nuts. He would tell his feelings, later, when he was a valuable object that they needed. Then it'd be a threat. He longed for that day.
Bring me down. Ohhhhhh. Rachel breathed out. She'd never sang like that in front of anyone. Her dads didn't know, neither did Noah, or Quinn. She took another breathe and realized they were clapping. She also noticed Noah had entered. She smiled. She smiled a huge bright smile that lit up the whole room. Mr. Shuester smiled and turned to her, "Well Rachel, an audition wasn't needed, but if it was, you definitely made it." Rachel smiled and giggled. She couldn't remember why she hadn't done this earlier.
