"Do I have to go in Quinn?" I asked the teenage blonde in front of me.I had already paid and insane price for the ticket so I knew there was no point in me asking.
"Come on sis, you promised!"
"Hey, hey, hey! I didn't promise anything!" I stammered inside and was stopped by a skinny boy who handed me a ticket.
I looked down and Quinn and she just shrugged not really caring about it. We walked inside and it wasn't anything like a Broadway theater or even a stadium. It was a rather large room with concrete floors and a stage.
About 2 months ago, my sister burst into my room holding two printed tickets in my face. "WE'RE GOING TO SEE FINN HUDSON RACH! ARE YOU EXCITED? WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?" And as quickly as she walked into my room she was out the door.
Me and Quinn are step-sisters. Quinn's mother passed away giving birth to her twin who didn't make it either. She was left with her dad. My parents ended up divorcing because my mother caught my father having an affair with Quinn's dad. Shelby, my mom, decided to leave me and I all I had were my two dads and my new sister! At first, Quinn and I hated each other. Pulling pranks and screaming our heads off. After two years of living with my dad, Leroy, and her dad, Hiram, we figured we might as well get along. There wasn't gonna be anyway around it. It's been a growing relationship ever since. I'm 5 years older than Quinn and we've basically grown up together.
Quinn Fabray as every other girl her age is obsessed with the pop hit sensation, Finn Hudson. It's either his cockiness or the way he parties with his friends that drives me nuts. I hate him! Quinn in the other hand sees no harm in him. That's another reason why I hate him. He blinds people with his charm and thinks that everyone has to love him.
I was brought back to reality with teenage girls screaming at the top of their lungs. Finn Hudson finally arrived to the building, 15 minutes late might I add. He was wearing an unbuttoned plaid shirt with a black shirt underneath and some dark jeans. He was handed a microphone and started his mini concert.
The first song he sang was his debut single called 'Different' . It talks about how every single girl is beautiful and unique and blah blah blah. I know that the caring part of him is a fake attitude, since he has only ever dated supermodels. Two minutes in, I got tired of standing and looked at Quinn and said, "Listen, my feet hurt. I'm going to be back there at the table. Stay here! Okay?" Without a glance my way, she nodded and screamed "Okay!"
Finn Hudson sang song after song after song until he started with the closing number called "Sunshine". I was sitting down on a little stool and eyed a vending machine. I went up to it and got myself some water. As I stood up my phone vibrated. I looked at the bright screen and saw that my best friend, Jonathan, had sent me a picture. It was of me as a little girl, with a message that I didn't have time to read since Quinn was screaming my way.
"Rachel! Get over here! They're gonna announce something." I put my phone away without responding to the message and made my way to Quinn.
"Ladies, please locate the ticket you were handed near the entrance." She orders me to take my ticket out. I do as I'm told.
"Okay ladies," the announcer starts. "This is how it will work. We will pick a ticket from this big bowl over here." He points to the white bowl. "If we pick your ticket, you will come up to the stage, introduce yourself, and then Mr. Hudson will have a surprise waiting for you. You will have the choice to accept or decline. Trading tickets will not be permitted. We will start right now."
The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife. I looked around and everybody was serious about this raffle. The announcer's hand slowly made its way toward the bowl. The teenagers' head slowly rose, anticipating the announcement. The speaker slowly swirled his hand in the bowl and took out a white piece of thick paper. He put the microphone near his face, looked at the ticket and said "3. 1. 2. 2. 6. 8." " Ahhhhhhhh!" A loud shriek came from next to me. It was Quinn.
"I got it! I got it! I got those numbers!" She screeched. I looked up and saw the hope in all of those teenage girls' face crumble apart. Quinn started to calm down as the adrenaline rush seemed to fade and made her way up to the stage. The announcer started "Hello young lady what is your name?" "Quinn. My name is Quinn." I was growing a bit annoyed as I realized that I didn't sign up for this. The man talking to Quinn turned off the microphone and told us the surprise. He asked if we agreed to spend the day with Mr. Hudson or not. Quinn quickly agreed without asking me and my mind started going through my schedule. Crap! I had an audition today. Makes a good enough excuse to leave.
Deep in my thoughts, I was interrupted by a pair of hands grabbing me. "Quinn stop it!" I yelled as she kept pulling me towards backstage. "Come on! We don't want to keep him waiting."
"Quinn I'm not so sure about this, I mean did you even ask the dads? I had an audition today too, that audition might be my one and only ..."
"RACHEL!" Quinn interrupted my rambling."This is my one chance to meet my idol, I called the dads earlier and they said it was okay as long as you came with me." She tried reasoning, but as if reading my insecurities she continued. "What if you had one chance to meet the one and only Barbra Streisand? This is my chance to meet the one and only Finn Hudson. Please Rachel!"
She did have a point. Even though I hate the living guts out of Finn Hudson, he is Quinn's hero. And I'm denying her the one chance of meeting him. With a reluctant nod from me, Quinn's face beamed with happiness. "Can we keep it short please?" I pleaded.
The smile never leaving her face, Quinn responded, "Nope. I want as much time as we can get with him." I rolled my eyes at her and let her lead the way. It took about 3 minutes to get to where we needed to be to finally meet Finn Hudson. It was a small room with a couch and a small coffee table. The walls were white and the rug had a couple of stains. Quinn's grip on my hand grew stronger as she heard footsteps outside the door. It opened.
A big, tall, man in a suit walked in. Definitely not Finn Hudson. The big, tall man was very handsome. He had a grim line set as his mouth, sandy blonde hair and was very tall and broad. We made eye contact for a second. I'm lucky I decided to go with some short shorts and a black top that stopped just above my belly button. I smiled a flirty smile at him and surprisingly he took his grim line and curved it upwards showing the deepest dimple I had ever seen. Interrupting our moment came in Finn Hudson. He had changed into a grey suit and greeted Quinn.
He used his charm and made Quinn melt right where she was standing. "Hey beautiful!" He said with a cheery voice. He took her hand and kissed it. "H-hi" Quinn responded stuttering. I almost threw up at his charm. He was so annoying. I rolled my eyes and he caught me. "And who might this be?" He asked staring at me for a moment too long. I avoided his stare, while Quinn answered his question.
"She's my older sister, Rachel, she'll be joining us today. Is that ok?"
"Of course." He answered with a wicked grin that I did not appreciate. "My friend Theo over here might need someone to hang out with." He went over to the big, tall man now identified as Theo. My gosh this might be a longer day than what I had imagined.
