Hey everyone, I've decided to try writing glee fanfiction. I've always like the pairings of Rachel and Puck and also the friendship pairings of Rachel, Santana and Brittney so I guess I'll try and write a story to satisfy my "glee" needs. This story starts off in the episode of "Audition", or the first episode of season 2. I'm changing up the story line a bit but just hang on and enjoy the ride. I hope you like my story and btw I LOVE reviews so….REVIEW! Happy Reading! =D
Rachel POV:
The day before the first day of my junior year in McKinley High School and already I am completely different from last year's glee loser who wore ugly animal sweaters and argyle knee high socks. I've realized over the summer that I want to be remembered in high school not as a freak or the girl who was slushyed everyday of her life. Over the summer my cousin Matt Rutherford came to Lima with his older sister Jessica. Jess took one look at me and decided it was her personal mission to help me change my image before the school year began.
The make-over started by empting my closet of all granny clothing and going on a 4 day shopping spree for an all new wardrobe. I have to admit that Jess had great taste in clothes and gave me a fabulous new wardrobe that Matt was a little skeptical of due to the fact that he will be living with me from now until he graduates. Then I got a haircut, all new cosmetics and best of all….SHOES! I have always had a secret obsession with shoes and shopping for them. Sadly Jess had to leave before telling me that I would look smoking come the first day of school and for Matt to keep an eye on me.
I can't wait to see all my friend and possibly make new ones. Yet for some odd reason I feel like I'm trying to prove a point when it comes to the guys in glee with me. Finn and I talked over Summer Break but it was awkward after the whole l-word thing. Once Jess came to town I barely saw him. We never really talked about where we stood but me and Noah did get closer over the summer. Why does the word Noah bring butterflies to my stomach? We both worked at the JCC over the break and after establishing a bond we hung out at his house babysitting Sarah.
The butterflies were still present as thoughts of the mohawked delinquent flashed through my mind. Was it possible that perhaps the reason I never pursued Finn this summer was because I had feeling for the one and only Noah Puckermann? Maybe but it's highly unlikely, oh well better get to bed a big day tomorrow and don't want to be late for the big revelation of the new and improved Rachel Berry. That night my dreams were filled of a fellow Jew of mine and how soft his lips felt against mine.
The Next Day: Rachel's POV:
I woke up at 6 am and started my work-out routine before hopping in the shower to wash up for the big day. I had gotten rid of my straight bangs and switched them instead for side-swept ones. When I had my hair cut I shortened it to a little below my shoulders and bought some wave spray to go with it. Luckily, my hair fell into loose ringlets naturally but this spray just gave it a little extra body. After applying natural make-up and doing my hair, I walked back into my room to get dressed. Today was finally the day where I could show off my new apparel.
I chose to wear one of my personal favorite outfits that Jess bought for me during our shopping marathon. It consisted of a white burnout racer-back tank that said, "you can't afford to _ me", a goldy-yellowy colored high-waisted shorts, and black ankle boots with a 5 in. heel, laces and red soles. I accessorized with my new Gucci bag, multiple gold and onyx bangles, gold star studs, and to top it all of a pair of over-sized black sunglasses that made her look like a real celebrity.
After spinning in the mirror and putting everything she needed in her handbag she heard Matt call up to her. "Baby Girl, if you don't come down this instant, I'm coming up there to get you!" I finally decided I was ready so I headed down towards Matt.
Matt's POV:
I heard Rachel's door close before I saw the hottest image ever come walking down the stairs and stop in front of me. My cousin was either trying to kill me or have me kill just about every guy in school who looks at her today. "Baby Girl, I think you need to go upstairs and fish out one of your old sweaters and change." She just giggled and did a twirl for me before waiting for my reaction. "Seriously, I have to call Jess later and ask her what she was thinking about this new wardrobe, like I will have to KILL every single guy in school today just for looking at you." All I got was another giggle before she grabbed my hand and out the door we went.
We got into her white car which I just now realized was a Mercedes-Benz! "How...What…When?" She noticed my stuttering and answered my questions.
"Dad and Daddy got it for me as a 16th birthday present, cool huh?" All I did was nod and we were off. I was so driving this car on the way home! Her phone started to buzz so I pulled it out and saw she had a text message from Kurt, whoever that may be.
"Baby Girl, Kurt says to meet the Glee Family in the choir room ASAP! They are all skipping 1st and 2nd period to catch up on summer and the events it may have held." She squealed with delight before egging me on to join her. She can be highly persuasive when she wants to be. The way she speaks has changed too she doesn't use those big words anymore.
"Oh Mattie, you have to join glee club! You have such an amazing voice already why not come and join. We sing and dance and oh you're a great dancer too! Please Mattie, PLEASE!" I looked over to see her big doe eyes fill with plea and I couldn't say no.
"Fine, I'll join but only if you sing with me to audition." I looked over to see her now smiling and the rest of the car ride was spent choosing the perfect song for my audition.
Kurt's POV:
"I just sent our diva the message to meet us all here and she responded saying that she has a surprise for us all. Anyone have an idea as to what that surprise may be?" I didn't miss the excited look that went through Puckermann's eyes. What have they been up to this summer, Diva and Puckermann? I'll have to find that out from Rachel later.
"Honestly, either Rachel has a one way ticket to Israel or somehow an angel was sent from heaven to change her entire personality to make her more tolerable." Santana just always has to make rude comments towards my diva, it gets irritating.
"Hey guys I just got news that we have 2 new kids our age. And check out the girl she's super hot, like unbelievably hot!" Mike was stressing over some new kids and a girl who was obviously going to be then new obsession of every male in Lima, Ohio. The guys were now all crowding around Mike's phone oohing and aahing at the Lima hottie.
Rachel's POV:
Matt agreed to meet me at my locker before we walked off to Glee Club. On the way to my locker I was greeted by cat-calls and stares of every boy in McKinley. A few even broke up with their girlfriends just to stare at me and phone cameras were flashing everywhere to take pictures of the 2 "new" kids or, in reality, one new kid and one reinvented one.
Matt finally arrived at my locker and we made our way down the halls. Matt reached down and grabbed my hand, giving me a comforting squeeze yet he didn't remove it so I leant up to question him. He sensed my dilemma and answered my silent question
"I thought that if everyone else believes you're a new student, why not mess with your friends and be your fake boyfriend. Just go with it and whatever happens, don't deny anything got it?" I giggled at his silly plan and nodded my head in agreement. I pointed us toward the choir room and entered with my cousin at my side.
"Um I don't know who you 2 are but this is strictly a glee club reunion party." Kurt really didn't recognize me, his fellow diva. I guess I looked really different.
"Kurt don't be so mean to this fine piece of-"Noah could be so crude at times but I loved him none the less…..WAIT. Loved is a strong word I must be kidding myself. Finn smacked him upside the head before giving me a goofy side smile that I seemed to find less attractive then I used to. Matt decided to introduce us and I saw Santana take a liking to him.
"Hi I'm Matt Rutherford and this is my girlfriend and we would like to audition for glee club. I heard from a little birdie that you guys were really cool and had a lot of fun so if you don't mind we would like to perform for you. But fair warning, we are probably better than all of you combined." Noah gave us a smirk before retorting.
"Wait until you meet Rachel Berry." Matt then gave his own smirk at Noah.
"I don't think she'll be much off a problem for us." He winked at me before the band started playing. (Rachel, Matt, Both)
Do you hear me? I'm talking to you Across the water across the deep blue Oceanunder the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreamsI feel your whisper across the seaI keep you with me in my heartYou make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home againOoh ooh ooh
As Matt and I were singing reality seemed to dawn upon the sharper members of the glee club. They just watched in amusement as the new me and my "boyfriend" sang a duet together to audition for a club I was already a part of. They don't know how long it takes Waiting for a love like this Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday I was surprised at how long it took some of my friends to realized it was me singing with Matt. I was almost insulted that they didn't recognize me. Me and Matt danced the whole song using flirty choreography to try and fool my friends even further which seemed to work.
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning 'round
You hold me right here, right now
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
When it was over everyone stood and applauded us before Kurt pointed out the obvious and uncovered my disguise. "OH MY GUCCI! RACHEL BARBRA BERRY IS THAT YOU DIVA?" Everyone looked at me, confusion written on my face before I nodded my head and Mattie spun me into his arms and hugged me from behind and kissed my temple. Noah's eyes were a blaze with jealousy…for me!
I hoped you enjoyed this story and please review or else I will stop there. Also in your reviews include whether or not you want Santana to be straight or lesbian, this is important in order for me to continue my story. Please Review and Happy Reading! =D
