Rachel

One January morning before school started I saw a list posted by Mr. schues door. I took a closer look. At the top were the usual suspects, puck, Santana and Dianna. Then Brittany and amber followed by Cory, Chris and me. I wondered why I was at the bottom and then looked at the top. 'who's done what. By ranking'. I couldn't believe it. And I wondered why Jesse wasn't on the list.

As I was looking Ashley walked by.

"hey Rachel welcome back," she told me

"thanks," I said looking at her.

It had taken us a couple weeks after winter break to get back into the groove which is why it wasn't all that surprising that shed welcomed me back now. Over the holidays there'd been a lot of parties and get togethers. And shopping. The usual holiday festivities.

I turned to the side and coughed. I felt more tired than usual.

"honey you're not getting sick are you?" Dianna asked approaching me.

"no I don't think so," I said.

"ok good. I wouldn't want you getting sick…since you just got back and all."

"mmk. Hey why are you higher on the list than I am?"

"the - oh," she looked at the list, "cause I've done more than you."

"oh."
