A Finchel Story-You, Me and Love
Chapter One-Stop My Heart
For some reason, I'm not nervous at all as I step into William McKinley High School for my first day at a new school. I'm in grade eleven and have never changed schools before except when I went into grade eight. As take my first steps inside the hallways of the school, I'm almost knocked off my feet as two blonde girls in cheerleading uniforms rush past me, pushing a boy who looks like he's in grade ten and kicking at his heels. They suddenly trip the boy over and when he face-plants on the linoleum floor, they start laughing loudly.
"Later, loser!" the taller blonde says, smirking and shaking her head in pity, her shiny curls that are tied tightly up in a high ponytail, bouncing around her neck.
The one with the green eyes and darker blonde hair smiles and says, "C'mon, Brittany." Then they walk off chatting quietly to each other. I rush over to the boy and help him up. His thick black hair is coated in greasy gel and he has brown eyes.
"Are you alright?" I ask, concerned.
"Yea, I'm fine," he replies, dusting off his striped shirt and straightening his red bow tie. He looks at me, frowning, for a moment. "You're new."
I nod. "Yes, I'm Rachel Berry."
"Blaine Anderson," Blaine answers, smiling. The bell rings deafeningly then and I glance around as everyone rushes into classrooms. "Well, maybe I'll see you around, Rachel."
I nod again. "Yea, I hope so."
Blaine walks off without asking me if I need help finding where my first class. I watch him stroll the whole way down the corridor and turn right. He's kind of cute, I think. I jump when a voice behind me says,
"He's too good for you."
I turn around and see a girl with long black hair tied back with a red ribbon in a high ponytail. She's wearing a snugly fit cheerleading uniform.
"Excuse me?" I say, frowning.
"He's too good for you...plus, he's gay, so.." she says, shrugging. "I'm Santana Lopez."
"Rachel Berry, I'm new."
"I know," Santana says, smiling. "Do you need help finding your first class?"
"Yes, that'd be great," I hand her my schedule.
She takes it, peering at it closely. "Let's see...oh, you have first period with me!"
"Really? Awesome!" I say, smiling. "Is Biology hard?" I start following her to the left.
"No, it's super easy, half the time the teacher is literally asleep," she replies, laughing.
Santana was right. For the whole lesson, the Biology snored at his desk. Santana introduced me to class the minute we stepped foot in the classroom and saw that Mr. Kennedy was fast asleep.
Here's how it went:
"Guys, listen up," Santana said, clicking her fingers in the air. The rowdy class turned their heads to the front and was instantly silent. "This is Rachel Berry, she's new. Treat her nicely, or I'll punch you square in the groin."
Santana then introduced me to Tina-a very nice, Asian girl-and Tina's boyfriend, Mike-another Asian who was also very nice. Then we sat down with them. After ten minutes of talking about the recently gone holidays, a very handsome, buff guy with a Mohawk entered the room and came up to us.
"Hey, baby!" Santana squealed, jumping up and giving him a long kiss.
Tina rolled eyes. "They're always like this! I swear, they've never heard of a little thing called privacy," she said.
I laughed.
"Who's the new chick?" The boy asked. His was deep and stern.
"This is Rachel Berry, it's her first day here," explained Santana. "Be nice."
"Hi, Rachel, I'm Puck. Mind if I sit?"
I shake my head and move over a seat. "No, go ahead."
"My man, Finn, should be here soon. Sorry, I was so late, San, I was throwing kids in the dumpster," says Puck.
Santana smiles. "That's fine," she says, leaning in and kissing him again.
When they pull away, Santana looks at me and raises her eyebrows. "So, Rachel, got a boyfriend?"
My cheeks turn red and shake my head slowly. "No, no I don't."
"Oh, well my man Finn just got out of a relationship with this cheerleader, Quinn," Puck says.
Santana frowns. "They broke up?"
"Yea," replies Puck. "Finny said she was too controlling, always talked about popularity and being head cheerleader and was incredibly mean to not just him, but everyone around her...except for Brittany."
"Wait, does Quinn have green eyes and gold hair?" I ask.
Tina nods. "Yea, she's a real bitch. Don't ever make friends with her."
"I think I saw her and Brittany picking on this boy called Blaine this morning," I say.
"Yep, that sounds like them," Mike says, smirking.
"Sounds like who?" asks someone as they sit down on the spare seat next to me. The boy has neat, yet ruffled, brunette hair and clear dark brown eyes. He's comes off very handsome and strong.
Santana glances at Puck, before answering, "Um...no one." Then she gestures towards me. "This is Rachel, she's new."
"Hey, Rachel, I'm Finn Hudson," he says.
I smile. "I know."
Finn smiles back at me, and just for a moment our eyes meet. It's only for about three seconds, but for three seconds, my heart stops. Finn's eyes are so deep, and so sweet and dreamy. HE'S SO CUTE!
"Rachel, Rachel!" Puck snaps me back into reality and I realise I'm staring at Finn while he catches up with Mike and Tina.
"Yea?" I say, turning around.
"I said, can you sing?" says Puck, his eyes widening.
"I'm alright," I answer, shrugging. That's a lie. I'm an amazing singer. I've won over 30 trophies and medals for my singing and dancing! "Why?"
"You should try out for Glee club, I mean, if you want," says Puck.
"Totally, we're all in it!" agrees Santana.
"Even Finn?" I ask hopefully.
Santana hesitates. "Yes, even Finn."
"Okay, maybe I will," I reply, smiling. Santana still looks suspicious, though. "When are try outs?"
"Tomorrow afternoon," Puck says.
I smile. "See you there."
