Chapter 1: Coming Back

Rachel woke up the next morning with mixed emotions. Part of her was upset that the glee club had rejected her ideas…again. Part of her was happy that Finn agreed with her. Part of her was just confused as to what to feel. One thing was for sure: Finn was the source of most of her emotions.

He had agreed with her. He accepted her ideas. That had to mean something, right? But he also didn't want to say that he agreed with her in front of the rest of the club. Just like when they were dating, he was afraid to stand up for her. Or maybe he was just concerned about what Quinn may think…

Quinn. Just the name made Rachel's stomach churn and tears sting at her eyes. Didn't Finn remember the hurt he caused her? How horrible she was? She relentlessly bullied Rachel for years, and while Finn may think she's an angel, Rachel could never forget how tormenting Quinn was to her. The really irritating, no, painful thing was that he didn't even seem that interested in her when they were first dating. Not until…not until the pregnancy. Not until she got pregnant with Puck's child. With the same guy that Rachel made out with. With Finn's best friend.

There were the tears again. Rachel quickly brushed them away and got onto her elliptical. She didn't care about Quinn. She didn't care about Puck. She could never say that she didn't care about Finn, but she could try. If there was one thing that Rachel knew, it was that her first and foremost love is, and always will be, winning. So that was what she was going to do. Whether she was winning Finn back or winning Regionals, Rachel Barbra Berry always won in the end.

What do you guys think? Short, I know, but I'll be writing more very soon. This is my first fanfic ever, so I really appreciate reviews, positive or negative. Oh, and Rachel is my favorite character, so this may be a little biased towards Rachel and not so nice to Quinn, just warning you. But I'll try and keep it fair. Key word: try.
