My names Rachel, Rachel Cameron Berry.
I used to go to Mckinley High School in my sophmore year but then my mum and dad spilt up and I moved with my mum to California.
A couple of months after we moved we found out I had Leukaemia, and I had to get Chemo, Bone Marrow Transplants and Radiotherapy. All through my treatment my dad didn't get in contact with us to see how I was doing once, after we told him about my Leukaemia all he said was "That sucks, anyway I'm moving to England bye!"...Haven't spoken to him since.
We're back in Lima for my senior year, I've been in remission for a year and a half now and this is where I wanted to be for my senior year, I walked on my first day back wearing tight light blue jeans and a crop top...something I never wore when I came in sophmore year.
"Hi!, I'm Brittany...What's your name?" A smiley blonde girl who I recognised straight away
"Hi Brittany, I'm Rachel" I smiled back at her, wanting to see how long it'd take her to realise who I was.
"Oh we used to have a friend called Rachel but she moved to California in sophmore year, I miss her..She was my best friend, along with Santana who hasn't been the same since she left" She sighed as she looked at me
"Oh why not?" Asking nicely, Me and Santana had a massive argument before I left to California and we didn't make up
"They had an argument before Rachel moved, and she didn't get the chance to sort it, She arrived at her house too late" Shrugging her shoulders before asking where my locker was.
"213, that's a shame maybe they might get the chance to sort things at some point" I said smiling softly
"Yeah maybe, and aw that's right next to mine and it was Rachel's old locker, come on I'll show you and then introduce you to my friends" Brittany said smiling as she pulled me along with her.
We were standing at our lockers when two guys and a girl walked over to us...
"Hey Brit, who's your friend?" One of the guys asked, I think I recognise him but I don't know
"This is Rachel, It's her first day here..Rachel these are some of my friends Mike, Sam and Mike's girlfriend Tina" Brittany said smiling at me
"Hi, we used to have a friend called Rachel..she moved away but" Tina said softly.
"Yeah Brittany was telling me about that" I smiled at them softly "It's nice to meet yous"
"We're going to meet everyone else, do you want to come?" Sam said smiling at me, which kinda made me blush
"Yeah I'd like that, you's are the only people I've met so far" I said smiling at him
"Let's go then" Brittany said taking my hand
We all walked along the corridor talking about anything, when they walked into the choir room, I would of thought they'd all quit the glee club after I left since they were only really in it for me. I looked around to see everyone of my old friends sitting there, my ex boyfriend - Noah Puckerman, my best friends - Santana Lopez, Quinn Fabray. Will they recognise me?
"Hey guys, this is Rachel it's her first day here at Mckinley" Sam said smiling as he sat down kissing Quinn softly which made me smile.
"Hey Rachel, I'm Mercedes" I smiled already knowing her name and everyone elses
I said hi to everyone as they all introduced themselves, I could feel Santana's eyes on me for some reason. Did she recognise me? I had to get out of here, she's starting to make me feel nervous...
"I'm just going to go to the bathroom" I said smiling softly before getting up and walking away.
I had just walked out the toilet to see Santana standing there...
"It really is you" She looked at me as I walked to the sink
"How did you know?" I looked back at her in the mirror
"I'd recognise the girl I called my best friend since Kindergarden anywhere, granted your much skinnier, your hairs different and your dressing better now but I can still tell it's you Rae" Santana said smiling softly
"Well people change Tana" I said as I walked over to dry my hands
"Rae, I'm sorry about our argument, 3 years ago" She said looking at me
"It was 3 years ago Tana, I'm over it" I giggled looking at her "After everything I've been through these last 3 years I know when not to hold a grudge"
"Friends again?" She giggled along with me
"The best" I smiled
"What do you mean the things you've been through?" She asked as we walked towards the choir room
"C-can we go somewhere else and talk about this?" Asking her quietly
"Of course we can, how about the bleachers?" Santana said looking at me
"Yeah that sounds good" I replied as we started walking away to the bleachers.
When we got outside to the football pitch, I noticed a figure sitting on the bleachers by themself, I turned to Santana...
"I'm not the only one who would recognise you anywhere, go talk to him and then all three of us will talk" Santana said pushing me slightly
I walked towards him, as I play with my fingers and biting my lip nervously..
"Hi" I said as I reached him
"Hey princess" He said standing up smiling
"You recognised me?" I looked up at him
"I'd recognise you anywhere, c'mere" He laughed moving closer to me, wrapping his arms around my waist as I wrapped mine around his neck
She feels so much skinnier than she was 3 years ago, which makes me slightly worried, I pull away a little bit looking at her.
"What's happened to you princess?" I knew he was worried about my weight by the way he was looking at me
"Maybe we should sit down" I looked at him, nervously
"Alright" He took my hand when we had sat down "Now what's wrong?"
"I've been in remission for a year and a half now" I looked up at him, scared
"What?" He looked at me shocked
"After I moved to California, we found out that I had Leukaemia" I looked at him, biting my lip
