Hi everyone, I'm thevaguevampire. This story is titled "Glee Short Fics" and it means what it says literally. In this story I will be publishing a short Glee fic in every chapter. They will be in no specific order, and could be anywhere from season 1, 2 or 3. Finally I do not own Glee or any of the characters. They are property of Fox Studios, LA. I hope you enjoy my fics!
Rachel Berry peered around her locker door to admire Finn Hudson, whose own locker was about five metres away. She sighed. Rachel admitted it to herself. She'd had a small crush on Finn since Freshman year, and since he had joined Glee Club, her liking for him grew deeper.
Finn looked up from sorting his things and looked at Rachel and smiled. Rachel smiled back nervously. The two of them retained eye contact for a few seconds and then Finn was distracted by his girlfriend, Quinn Fabbray. Cheerleader Quinn Fabbray. Captain of the Celibacy Club Quinn Fabbray. There was not a greater social position in high school. And Quinn had the Quarterback Boyfriend. In a way, she and Rachel were opposites. Quinn adjusted Finn's collar, and when seeing Rachel staring at them, made a point of kissing Finn deeply in front of her. Rachel felt a stab in her chest. The two of them walked away, and Rachel did the same.
But on her way to Glee Club she could not help thinking about Finn's smile. What did it mean. Was it a "Oh hi I'm your friend" smile, or was it "Hey look I really like you, fancy getting a coffee?"? Rachel regretfully thought that it must have been smile a. She turned a corner and almost walked into Mercedes and Tina.
"Hey babe," Mercedes said in her usually cheerful tone. On seeing Rachel's upset expression she frowned. "What's wrong?"
"I'll tell you when we get to rehearsal," she replied and the three of them walked quickly along the corridors and into a room on the left. Since they were a couple of minutes early, they had the choir room to themselves.
"So w-what's up?" It was Tina who said this.
"It's Finn," Rachel sat down and looked miserable. "Do you think that he and I might have a chance?"
Mercedes looked uncomfortable. "Look we figured out you like him. And we're sure he likes you too." Tina nodded.
"But as a friend or a love interest?" Rachel was almost in tears.
"D-Don't cry!" Tina wrapped her arms around Rachel.
"Look," Mercedes continued. "Finn does have a girlfriend and we can all safely say that his rep is on his main agenda. Dating Quinn keeps his status high. And that is ultimately what guys care about. Rachel, I'm not saying that you and Finn don't have a chance. You do girl, I think there's some chemistry there."
"You do?" Rachel sniffed.
"Yes I do. But we live in Teenage World. And we are quite low on the high school food chain."
Tina nodded in agreement. "Guys d-don't like girls like us,"
"I think Rachel that maybe we all should get real a bit and stop looking for love, but waiting for it to find us. Maybe we should just leave out the guys for a while."
Rachel smiled. Mercedes was so wise. "Thanks you guys," she wiped her eyes. "I feel a lot better now,"
Three hours later Rachel was sitting on her bed with paper, tissues and chocolate wrappers around her. After a lot of hard work, tears and a stomach ache from the chocolate, she looked at her first song written down in the notepad.
Rachel quickly recorded her singing it on her phone and then sent it to Mercedes and Tina. She got replies almost instantly.
Wow! You have an amazing voice! Love the song-so emotional. Great work Rach!
-T 3 xx
Awesome girl. ;). You should totally sing it for this weeks Glee assignment. It IS songs about neglect. -M :) xx
Maybe. Rachel considered it. It would be a way to impress Finn and get some kind of message across to him. And then she remembered what Mercedes had told her this afternoon. No. Mercedes was right. She would sing this song for Glee Club. But it wouldn't be for Finn. Rachel sighed. She did still like him though.
Little did Rachel Berry know that by the end of the year, the boy that she wanted so badly, would finally be hers.
