Everyone in the city of Lima, Ohio was well aware of the fact that Rachel Berry was a Diva.
The short brunette was very...enthusiastic was one way you could put it.
She won her very first dance competition when she was 3 months old, which everyone thought was completely insane, as well as her first singing competition when she was nearing the age of 2.
Even now, at seventeen years old she was well near perfection.
The starlet would wake up every day at 6:00 AM sharp, to her iPod blasting songs from her favourite musicals, or her idol ' Barbra Streisand'. She would immediately spend 45 minutes exercising on her elliptical, because she believed that a good breakfast and a workout was the key to perfect health.
Rachel posted a MySpace video of herself singing every night at 8:00OM. Although the comments were usually along the lines of "do us all a favour and get sterilized" or "nose job" Rachel knew that one day someone would see her for the way she was, and recognize her true talents.
Rachel of course, was the star of Glee club.
The club had started out with Will Schuester, the Spanish teacher who wanted to relive his glory days and restart the club. He held auditions which ended with the club consisting of 5 members. Rachel Berry, Mercedes Jones, Kurt Hummel, Tina Cohen-Chang and Artie Abrams.
Soon after, Finn Hudson joined. He was the main part of Rachel's attractions for well over a year, until she finally decided to just give up, she didn't feel the same things she felt when she first saw him, now they were best friends and almost inseparable.
Noah Puckermann, Matt Rutherford, and Mike Chang joined next, followed by Quinn Fabray, Brittany Pierce, and Santana Lopez. The Cheerio's at first, only joined Glee club so that they could sabotage Rachel and be Sue Sylvester's spies, but that eased off quickly, once they learned that they could really love the club.
It was now almost 2 years since the tiny audition room, and everything had been great.
Tina and Mike were in a relationship for a year but that soon ended after Tina decided to give things a try with Artie again. Everyone loved Mike but they were also glad on the change seeing as Tina and Mike were both Asian and had the same last name.
Sam Evans, a boy that had recently transferred was dating Quinn Fabray, which no one took a shock because he took Finn's spot as the quarterback and Quinn was the head cheerleader.
Finn had taken that relationship a little harshly, seeing as his feelings for Quinn never really ended.
Kurt had transferred to Dalton Academy for a few months, trying to get a new start after being harassed by David Karofsky, but he soon returned with another new kid, his boyfriend Blaine Anderson.
With their second Regional's competition on its way, Puck decided to throw a party on Friday night for the Glee clubbers.

Rachel Berry pulled the collar of her coat, closer to her face as her feet moved at a steady pace.
She soon came to face a big white door.
She could already hear the music blaring from inside the Puckermann residents.
The diva knocked furiously on the door, hoping to escape the cold January night.
The door opened to reveal a pouty looking Puck. Rachel couldn't help but smile. After her recent development in friendship with Finn, she found herself growing fonder of Puck. The three of them spent almost every weekend together.
When he saw who was at the door, his face immediately brightened. He grabbed her arm, and literally twirled her into the house, shutting the door behind her.
He looked at her with a warm smiling face. "Rach" he greeted.
She couldn't help the blush that rode onto her face. "Hello Noah" she replied.
They both stood there staring at each other for a few minutes before they both went to make a move.
Puck put his arms around her waist, and pulled her into a tight hug.
Rachel loved the way his muscular arms made her feel protected, she slipped her arms around his neck and returned the hug.
When they pulled away they both had huge grins on their faces.
"Come on Jew-babe everyone is waiting downstairs" he announced, and pulled her towards the stairs.
Rachel quickly rolled her eyes at the nickname. Seeing as they were both Jewish, Noah insisted on calling her 'Jew-babe'.

Once they made it downstairs, Rachel took in the sight before her.
The music was blasting hip hop songs, while Matt and Mike stood in the middle of the room doing the 'Pop N' Lock'.
(After seeing the boy's do that dance a numerous amount of times, Rachel still never understood it.)
Mercedes was standing a few feet away from the boys cheering with Tina, who was sitting on Artie's lap while the small boy wheeled them around in circles.
Kurt stood in the corner, having a brief conversation with Blaine, while both boys had huge beaming smiles on their faces.
From a few feet away Rachel could barely hear what they were saying.
Probably something about what facial products they use before bed, or what their favourite magazines are.
Surely enough, Brittany and Santana were both sitting on Puck's reclining chair, in a heated make out session.
It had been a few months since the girls had gone public, although everyone knew since Elementary School the two were basically glued to the hip, and most definitely more than friends.
Rachel's eyes fell on Finn.
The poor boy was sitting by himself on the couch beside Noah's computer.
She let go of Puck's arm and ran over to the tall boy, and threw her arms around him from behind.
He tensed at first, but once he caught a wiff of her perfume he relaxed, and smiled.
"Hey Rach" he said.
She returned his smile. "Well hello Mr. Hudson why might you be sitting all by your lonesome?" she asked.
Puck walked over and smirked. "Stop being a girl Finn, go join Mike and Matt I'm sure they would love to see your attempt at doing the Pop N' Lock" he said, laughing.
Finn glared at him. "I'd like to say the same to you" he spat back.
Almost immediately after, both boys burst into laughter, and Puck threw his arm around Finn pulling him into a headlock.
Rachel sat down in the chair Finn was once seated in and huffed.
"Boys" she said rolling her eyes.
Puck let go of Finn and took the seat beside her. "Babe, don't hate, besides you love us were adorable" he said.
At the exact same time the boys gave her identical beaming smiles.
She couldn't help the smile that broke out on her face.
She reached over and used one hand to pinch Noah's cheek, and the other to pinch Finn's.
"Okay, I guess you guys are pretty adorable" she said, laughing.
Finn nudged Puck.
"Hear that Pucky boy? At least someone thinks were cute" he said, slurring his words which he had obviously been trying to hide.
Rachel gasped. "Finn, have you been drinking?" she asked.
His eyes widened."Nope" he said, 2 seconds too quick.
Rachel glared at him. "Give me your cup" she demanded.
He stood up and took a step backwards. "No that's okay Rach, but maybe you should get your own" he said winking.
Rachel narrowed her eyes into an even longer scowl.
"Finn Hudson, this is not a joking matter, now I will not ask you again. You either give me that cup or I take it for you, take your pick" she warned.
"Ouu, you're in trouble" Puck said from behind them which distracted Finn.
She lunged forward and grabbed the cup from his hand, spilling it on the floor slightly.
It was quite the surprise for Finn, he hadn't been expecting that and besides, Rachel was short and very fast so it was hard for him to keep track of where she was.
The diva lifted the cup to her nose and inhaled, almost instantly pulling it as far away from her face as possible while making a sour face.
"Yup, you've been drinking". She announced.
He frowned. "Fine I promise I will not have one more drink for the entire night" he told her sincerely.
She smiled in victory.
Finn's frown was replaced by a devilish smirk. "BUT, only if you have a drink" he stated.
Her eyes widened, and her face fell. "No way Finn, I am not an alcohol drinking sleaze, besides if I drink I will most likely either wake up in a ditch somewhere with my virginity gone, or in Noah's bed" she announced.
A light flashed in Puck's eyes and right as he was about to open his mouth, Rachel raised a finger.
"No" she exclaimed.
Finn put his drink on the table in defeat. "You, Rachel Berry, are a party pooper" he whined.
She rolled her eyes. "Party pooper? Really Finn, are you five?" she asked.
Puck moved beside her. "Actually Rach, I think he just turned 6" he said, and the two burst out laughing.
Finn crossed his arms and pouted.
"No fair, 2 against 1" he whined.
Rachel grinned. "Face it Finn, it's always 2 against 1, Noah and I just make a great team" she stated, putting her hands on her hips.
Finn glared at them. "Fine".
Puck's eyes immediately twinkled. "OH, I forgot, you have to come with me" he said, grabbing her arm.
Rachel was caught off guard but she just let him pull her through the loud house.
Finally they reached his room and Noah had a huge smile on his face.
Rachel furrowed her brows. "Noah, this isn't just some lame attempt to get me in your bed is it?" she asked.
Puck rolled his eyes. "Please, I'd rather not have a replay of Quinn, although I wish I had that good of pickup skills" he told her, pointing to his bed.
Without getting into an argument about Quinn, Rachel sat down on the edge of his bed, and waited.
Puck came back into the room with his hands behind his back, and his lips pursed.
Rachel raised an eyebrow.
"Look, I know your birthday was last week but my gift didn't arrive until this morning" he told her.
He took his hands from behind his back and revealed a small long white box with a giant pink ribbon on it.
Rachel's lips tipped up into an adorable smile.
"Noah, you didn't have to get me anything" she whispered.
He smiled and shook his head. "Yes I did, anyways you let Finn get you something without complaining" he stated.
Rachel chuckled. Y"es, but Finn got me a Taco Land hat and a 2 for 1 coupon" she said.
He gasped.
"Rach, Taco Land has the best tacos in the entire world, do not even thinking about dissing it up" he said.
Rachel smiled, and slowly took the present from his hands.
Puck sat down on the bed beside her and watched her stare at the box. Puck loved the way she concentrated on things. He also especially loved when she would stare longingly at something and barely blink. He knew she was probably talking up a paragraph in her head right now.
He was beginning to feel impatient.
"Well are you going to open it?" he asked.
She looked up at him and snapped out of her trance.
"What? Oh yeah sorry" she muttered.
She smiled at the big pink bow before taking it off and sticking it to the end of his nose.
She let out a giggle, while he just shook his head.
"I bet I look like a complete stud right now" he said.
She met his gaze and smiled.
"Of course you do Noah".
Her fingers trailed carefully along the box, tracing the patterns before she took the top off.
She gasped at what she saw.
Slowly she took the beautiful object from the box and felt tears form in her eyes.
He had gotten her a gold necklace with the Star of David on it.
She fumbled with it in her fingers before she turned to look at Puck with wide eyes.
"Noah" she breathed. "You really didn't have to get me this" she whispered, letting a tear fall freely down her cheek.
He took his thumb and swiped the tear away.
"I wanted to" he insisted.
Her eyes sparkled and she leaned into the touch. "This is honestly the best present I have ever gotten in my life" she confessed.
Right then in that moment, he felt on top of the world.
She looked back down at the necklace then let her gaze fall on the amazing boy beside her.
"Can you?" she asked, turning her back to him.
It took him a minute to process things but he picked up the necklace in his hand and smiled.
Slowly he lifted his hand to her exposed back, and let his finger trail along her shoulder blades.
He carefully brushed her hair aside, sending shivers running through her whole body, and butterflies erupting in her stomach.
He felt his mouth go dry, when he saw how the light glowed on her.
He quickly put the necklace around her neck, and clasped the back.
The tanned boy, let his hands fall down her sides, and then laced their fingers together.
She smiled, at him and she knew she was right where she was supposed to be.

2 hours later Puck walked Rachel to the front door.
"Did you have fun?" he asked.
She nodded. "Yes, I did enjoy us all getting together, but promise me I will never have to sit through two hours of Mike trying to sing Spice Girls ever again" she whispered.
He clutched his stomach and laughed.
"Can't promise you that, babe".
Rachel smiled genuinely at him. "Thank you again for the necklace Noah, it means so much to me" she whispered, and slowly put it in her pocket.
She had insisted on taking it off for a while after Finn tried to grab onto it, when he thought it was a spider crawling on her.
A huge grin broke out on his face.
"Anytime" he replied.
She looked at her cell phone and frowned. "Well I should get going, you know how my dad's get when I'm past curfew" she said.
He winced. "ah, papa Leroy and Papa Hiram" he said, chuckling.
She bit her lip and shook her head, trying to fight her smile.
Her father's loved Finn and Puck, they were like sons to them.
He smiled. "Remember, my house tomorrow at 12" he reminded her.
She rolled her eyes. "Must you and Finn really drag me over here to watch you two play XBOX and talk about girls?" she asked.
He raised his eyebrows. "Yup it's been six months since we started doing this Jew-babe, it's what best friends do, and we distract Finn while he tries not to picture that" he said, pointing his thumb towards Quinn who was being pushed up against the counter by Sam, as they made out.
Rachel winced. "Good point".
He pulled her into a soft hug, gently lifting her off the ground.
She sighed happily.
He knew he was pushing things but he didn't care. He put his lips to her ear and whispered. "You're beautiful Rachel".
When he pulled away her face was flushed, and she tucked a strand of her brown hair behind her ear nervously.
"Thank you Noah, I'll see you tomorrow" she said, barely above a whisper.
He opened the door for her, and smiled as she walked down the path towards her car.
Right as she was about to open the door, hazel eyes met brown.
They stared at each other for what felt like an eternity, until she broke their gaze and smiled at him.
"Drive safe" he yelled.
She smiled at him. "always do" she replied.
Little did they know, tonight would be different.
