Chapter 1: Complete Strangers
DISCLAIMER: I don't own glee.
Sorry it's only a short chapter but I thought this'd be a good place to start the story at. I am also sorry at the lack of Finchel in this chapter but I promise the next chapter will have more:)
Sunlight shone down on McKinley High, wind blew trees towering high above the school. Cheerleaders hung around Quinn Fabray's car discussing their new routine that coach Sylvester insists must contain double backflips from every girl on the squad.
Most of the jocks are throwing Jacob Ben Israel and his nerdy friends in the dumpster, the jocks minus Finn Hudson- Quarterback of the Titans, he's stood at his locker mentally debating whether it's easier to just not turn up to English with Miss Ward as he hasn't done the essay on Macbeth she insisted had to be handed in during this mornings lesson. He decided that turning up was for the best as he knew for sure puck hadn't done it either.
Rachel keeps her head down as she struggles through the mass of students entering the McKinley hallway, she just wants to get her books and get to class.
"Hey, Rachel!"
It's Mercedes, lead of the glee club Rachel is a part of. Rachel could never have the courage to be the lead at the front of a big performance, like at regionals or sectionals. She knows they'd stare so she avoids the spotlight completely, Kurt and Tina often try to encourage her to speak up and fight for leads and solos but Rachel's fine where she is now, at the back.
"Hi."
Rachel timidly replies, she and Mercedes don't speak often as Mercedes is a little too loud and in your face for Rachel.
" I just wanted to remind you that it's sectionals rehearsal at 3:30, I heard that Mikes going to bring some of the cheerleaders too because Tina told him how much we need members since the seniors left in May."
That doesn't really excite Rachel as to them she's just the weird quiet girl.
"Great."
Mercedes walks off without another word. Rachel carries on to her locker, finally getting there she retrieves the necessary books and heads off to class. Another day of being unnoticed by the majority of the student population.
Just the way Rachel liked it.
Reviews are love.
