Hello, new reader (and old readers). I started writing this fanfic when I was 16 after seeing a Berry/Fafabray/Lolopez gifset on Tumblr. That was in 2012, it is now 2015 and I just turned 19. So, hi, if you've read this before, I have changed a couple things. Still a newbie I guess but yeah. So, here's, the story, thing, yeah. Enjoy!

It was a new school year at McKinley high. But well, high school is just high school and it will always be just, high school. Specifically just 'booze and mischief', the words from that John Green book.

The Lopez twins, Santana and Maria, stepped through the double doors, Santana with her well-known Lopez smirk wiped across her face and her head held high, and Maria walking down the hall next to her, holding onto her copy of 'Tulips and Chimneys'. On the other side of the school, the Fabray twins walk into the other entrance and didn't even glance at each other as they both walked away in opposite directions towards their lockers. Quinn and Charlie were the opposite of Santana and Maria because they both hated high school and they also despised each other. Both Santana and Quinn are Cheerios, the McKinley High's cheer leading team led by coach Sylvester, so they both knew each other but they never really were friends. Maria Lopez wasn't a party animal like her sister was, she loves books and pickle flavoured potato chips. And Charlie Fabray wasn't anything like her sister, because she only liked hockey and cigarettes. Santana was the only one who was out about being gay and obviously doesn't give a shit what anyone else thinks. Quinn and Maria say they're 'bisexual' (but who are they trying to kid?) and Charlie liked keeping her sexual preference to herself.

The hall was filled with the student body, stuffing their bags into their lockers after grabbing their books for the first class of the day. The football team was back to their routine of throwing scrawny freshmen into trash cans and lockers while the AV geeks were all caught up in their conversation about the new Doctor Who episodes. Suddenly things started to move in slow motion as the loud chattering turned into whispers. Almost everyone turned their heads and gave way as the girl in a tight black top with a matching skirt strutted down the crowded hall. Santana watched her best friend, Noah Puckerman turn his head and she followed, watching the new girl walk pass her.

"Woah," Puckerman whispered as he looked down at the new girl's ass.

Santana shoved her hand in his face and pushed him away playfully, her eyes never leaving the new girl as she disappeared into the main office.

Maria walked into the main office and smiled at Gretchen, Figgins' assistant.

"Morning, Mrs. Baker. You look beautiful today," Maria flashed the Lopez smile.

Gretchen smiled and handed Maria her new schedule since she'll be taking advanced math and switching from English to English literature this year.

"Good morning, Ms. Lopez," Gretchen said to the teenager.

Maria chuckled lightly and nodded at Gretchen before heading out the door.

"Wait!" she heard a voice call out, she turned to see a short brunette walking towards her with a familiar book in her hand, "you dropped this," she continued, her voice was soft.

Maria raised her eyebrows as she took the book out the stranger's hand slowly, "thank you. I'd die if I'd have lost it,"

"'Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink'" the shorter brunette spoke again.

Maria watched the girl and couldn't help but smile, she nodded, "ah, a Cummings girl huh? So, are you new, here? I mean, you don't look like a freshman, so you must of transfered, and, I've been here for two years now, so, you know," she cursed at herself silently as she forced herself to shut up and stop rambling like a little school girl.

The shorter brunette smiled at Maria and nodded, telling Maria that she just moved from Texas. The bell rang and the loud piercing sound made Maria cringe a little.

"There you are! I've been looking all over for you," Maria watched Brittany Pierce grab the brunette by the arm and drag her away from the conversation.

The brunette turned to Maria and waved before she was pulled into the classroom.


"Hola, kids," the curly-haired teacher in a brown vest spoke as he walked into the room and closed the door behind him.

"What?" Finn Hudson, McKinley's quarterback asked, dumbfounded.

"He said hello, Finn," Quinn rolled her eyes.

"Welcome back, familiar faces. Except, Rachel Berry, we have a transfer student, everyone," he smiled at Rachel and told her to introduce herself.

"My name is Rachel, and I, really like music," she said and sat back down.

Mr. Schuester was called out of class when Figgins called to tell him that his car was on fire again. He muttered 'Sue Sylvester' and ran out of the class. Finn pulled up a chair next to the new girl, Rachel, and smirked, "Rachel, right?"

Rachel turned to face the boy and forced a smile. "Hi,"

He smiled at her, "need help with settling? I could show you around? Then, maybe we could hang out sometime?"

Rachel smiled and politely declined Finn's offer. Finn made a face and sighed.

"Is it the grin?"

Rachel laughed and shook her head, "it's just fine,"

"I do think you're really pretty. And, I would really like to be your friend," he half-smiled and shrugged.

Rachel thought he was kind of cute. She agreed to this new friendship and Finn grinned as he moved back to his seat.

"Was he bothering you?"

Rachel looked up to see a pretty blonde facing her. She chuckled and told Quinn that they were just making a proposition. Quinn smiled at the girl. One of the prettiest girls she has ever seen, actually.

"He was right, though. You're really pretty," Quinn continued. She proceeded to ask about where Rachel was from and about some of her interests.

Rachel couldn't stop smiling and she tried to hide it by biting her bottom lip gently. She was wondering if the blonde was flirting with her. Quinn indeed was flirting. She felt like she needed to know more about this girl. There was just something about Rachel. She wanted to know everything about her. Rachel watched as Quinn quirked one of her perfect eyebrows. She didn't think she was into cheerleaders.


Rachel was walking towards her locker alone since Brittany had Glee club this period. She was reaching for her phone and when she looked down for a second, she fell backwards and felt a weight on top of her.

"Shit, shit, I'm so sorry,"

"Oh jeez, it's fine, it's fine," she looked up to see that it was Quinn, and this time the blonde didn't have her hair in a high pony tail, and she wasn't wearing her Cheerios uniform. She smiled up at Quinn. "It's really fine, Quinn,"

The blonde with the pink highlights in her hair got up slowly, helping Rachel up after as she stood. "I think you got me confused with someone else, love,"

Charlie picked up the cigarette that she dropped earlier, "I'm Charlie Fabray," she tucked the cigarette behind her ear and put her hand out.

Rachel's eyes widened. She didn't know why she was so surprised. She laughed nervously and shook the blonde's hand. Charlie quirked an eyebrow and asked Rachel if she was feeling okay. The girl with the pink hair smiled for the first time today, watching this stranger try to speak. Charlie thought she was cute and chuckled.

"Are you sure I didn't give you a concussion?"

"Chazza, we gots to go," Charlie's best friend Mack ran up to her and shoved two cans of spray paint into the blonde's hands.

Charlie nodded, "I'll be right with you,"

"Rachel!" Rachel cleared her throat before speaking again, "I'm Rachel,"

Charlie jumped in surprise, looking at the shorter brunette. She laughed and nodded. "Rachel. Okay. I'll remember that. Look, I gotta go. But I'll definitely be looking out for you. Yeah?" she spoke quickly before running off.


The day was over and Rachel sat by the tree with Brittany and her new friends, Sugar and Harmony.

"I think McKibben's having a party tomorrow, we all have to go," Brittany pointed out.

Rachel smiled as Brittany continued to ramble on about ducks and pandas. She turned to see Maria walking down the steps. She felt that it was polite to finally introduce herself, and well, she thought the latina was beautiful.

"Hey, Cummings!" Rachel got up and ran over to her. She looked down at the Maria's Cheerios uniform. "Oh, you're a cheerleader too?"

Santana smirked a little, "wrong Lopez, sweetheart. I'm Santana. The better looking one,"

Rachel was confused, was it possible she met two pairs of twins today? Was she high on something? She knew the air in McKinley was a little bit funky. She snapped out of her thought when she saw Maria run over to Santana and punched her arm playfully, "Papi's waiting!"

"Oh, goodness," Rachel placed her hand on her chest.

Maria turned to the brunette and smiled, "Oh hey, it's you. I didn't catch your name earlier,"

"Uh, I mean, um, it's, it's Rachel, Rachel Berry," she laughed at herself.

Santana had a smirk on her face and Maria had a weird dopey smile that Santana hasn't seen in a while.

"This, is a bit weird, so, I'm going to go. I will see you, guys, another time," she pointed at Brittany who was jumping and waving, calling out for Rachel.


Quinn woke up to the sound of banging and she could also hear the faint noise of metal music playing next door. '5:00', the bright red numbers made her scoff. The blonde got up quickly and stormed out her room. She banged on Charlie's door with her fist clenched.

"Charlotte!"

Charlie opened the door drenched in sweat. She sighed at the sight of her sister, "fuck off, Quinn,"

Quinn stopped the door with her foot when the other blonde was about to slam the door shut. She glanced down at her twin's hands and saw that her knuckles were bleeding. She took her foot away and they both stared at each other before Charlie looked down and closed the door slowly.


Rachel and Brittany put their trays down and sat at the table with Sugar and Harmony.

"Hey," Santana sat down next to Rachel.

Rachel turned her head and bit into a fry, "Santana. The better looking Lopez, right?"

The Cheerio nodded, "you are correct. So, my friend Matt is throwing a party tonight, you should come," the Cheerio smiled.

Rachel tilted her head a little, "what's in it for me?"

"I promise, if you come, and if you find me, I will show you an amazing time,"

"I don't know, Santana,"

"Well, if you change your mind, here's my number," Santana smirked and Rachel couldn't help but giggle.

At that moment, Santana didn't think it was possible but, she fell in love with a giggle.

"Oh, my, god, Santana freakin' Lopez just asked you out!" Sugar yelled,

Harmony smacked her arm gently and shushed her.

"Come on, Berry, we'll all go," Brittany wrapped her arm over the shorter girl's shoulders.

"Fine, I'll think about it," Rachel continued to eat.


Rachel walked to Spanish alone and took a seat. Quinn looked up from her book and looked at the brunette in front of her. The blonde put her book down and turned her head.

"Hey stranger,"

Rachel smiled, "hey Quinn,"

"You alright?"

"I'm good. You?" the brunette replied.

"Been better," she nodded.

Quinn felt her heart skip a beat. Even if it was just small talk, she wanted it to go on forever.

"You should sit next to me, you know, so I don't have to keep my head turned this way. My poor neck," Quinn pouted playfully.

Rachel got up and sat down next to Quinn. As they continued to talk, she started to wonder about Charlie. Mr Schue greeted the class then went on telling the class about adjectives. Quinn watched Rachel at the corner of her eye. The blonde was wondering if she really was listening to Mr. Schuester, because nobody in the class was. Quinn tore out a piece of paper from her notebook and scribbled the words with her pencil. She handed Rachel the paper.

'Do you know about the party tonight?'

'Yes, I do, actually. I'm going with my friends'

'Oh. Well, I'll see you there then. :)' Quinn scribbled a funny drawing of Mr Schue in a sombrero riding a donkey and Rachel bit her lip, trying not to laugh at Quinn's drawing.

'Definitely' is all Quinn had as a reply before class was over.


Rachel opened her locker and placed a few things into it, she turned her head and saw Maria taking books out of her locker right across from Rachel's.

"Cummings,"

Maria turned around quickly, causing all her books to drop onto the floor. Rachel laughed and got down on her knee, helping the Latina pick up the books scattered on the floor.

"I'm, so, clumsy, I'm sorry," Maria picked up the books quickly.

"You can't be sorry for being clumsy," Rachel furrowed her eyebrows together, standing up as she held Maria's books in her arms.

Maria chuckled nervously. "Wish I wasn't such a klutz, that's all,"

She watched as Rachel hand the books over gently, "are you going to the party later?" the shorter brunette spoke.

"Matty McKibben's party?" Maria laughed, shoving the books back into her locker, "parties aren't really my scene,"

"Oh, I just thought you'd come with since your sister insists that I come and-"

"Wait, Santana's, taking you, to McKibben's party?"

Rachel shrugged, "just a ride, nothing more. It would be cool if you came with, I'd like to have someone else to talk to. Just in case,"

"Um, I might, go, I mean, maybe, if, I have no plans, tonight, I'll see if my schedule, is, open, and, stuff," Maria nodded slowly.

The shorter girl's laugh was one of the most beautiful sounds the Latina has ever heard. She stared at Rachel's lips as the brunette smiled, or laughed, or even spoke.

"I'll see you, later, then?" Rachel smiled.

Maria nodded quickly, "yeah, yeah, I mean, maybe, I don't know, I guess," she closed her eyes for a second, cursing under her breath.

Rachel laughed, shaking her head before saying goodbye and walking down the hall and out the double doors. She took her iPod out and put a piece of gum into her mouth, she had to walk home today since Brittany left her for her cat. Charlie was throwing MnMs at Mackenzie, aiming to throw them into her cleavage.

"God damn it, Charlie!" Mack yelled.

Charlie just chuckled. She looked up for second and saw Rachel walking down the sidewalk.

"Gotta bounce. See you later, Mack," Charlie quickly got onto her motorbike and started it.

The blonde with pink highlights drove beside Rachel slowly. "Psst,"

Rachel smiled at the other Fabray and took the earphones out her ears, "Charlie, right?"

Charlie stopped the bike and nodded, "that's what they call me. So, do you need a ride?" she patted the handlebar.

"I can walk,"

"Where you heading?"

"Darvill Street,"

Charlie quirked her eyebrow, "I promise I won't take you to my house and lock you in the basement or anything," they both laughed.

"How would I know that? And how would I know you're not gonna cut me open and take my organs to sell on Craigslist?" Rachel crossed her arms.

Charlie smiled and handed the brunette a helmet, "you'll just have to trust me then,"

"Does the bad girl image impress all the ladies?" Rachel took the helmet and put it onto her head gently.

"Yes, actually," she spoke as Rachel straddled the bike behind her, "hold on tight, alright?"

Rachel wrapped her arms around the Fabray and Charlie started driving.

"Any plans tomorrow?" Charlie took the helmet after Rachel got off the bike and fixed her hair.

"Why?" Rachel sat back down behind the blonde.

"There's a new zombie movie, coming out, and I don't know if it's your thing, but, I heard it'd gonna be pretty good,"

Rachel was a bit weirded out by the fact that she had two pairs of twins talking to her this way. They were all gorgeous and each of them was different. Rachel couldn't lie; she liked the attention.

"Hmm, I dunno," Rachel joked, stroking her chin.

The rebel looked down for a second and laughed, she looked back up at Rachel.

"I'll pay for the popcorn,"

Rachel smiled and grabbed her pen from her bag. She grabbed Charlie's hand gently and wrote down her number, "I'll give you this, Fabray,"

Charlie watched the girl walk into the house without even waving or saying goodbye. She put her helmet back on and started up the bike.
