Hello everyone okay so this is my first story sorta... Sorry if i've made any mistakes it's 4 am...
1234
Today was the day! Yes it was the day, the day everything would change. The day I'd finally become popular. The day I'll finally be in the arms of Finn Hudson. If everything goes to plan I'll be part of the popular crowd. I'll be in. I'll join the Cheerios and become head cheerleader as long as everything goes to plan.
I head towards my locker getting my bag ready to end the day. I close my locker to see the smiling face of Rachel Berry.
"Good afternoon birthday girl!" She leaned into me as she took a picture with her new professional Nikon Camera. I smiled widely just to humor her.
"Please Rach no pictures tonight!" I remind her.
"Of course" she snaps another picture of me before we both hear a familiar sound of scuttling.
I turn around to see the stunning figure of Stacey Christopher strutting towards me.
Her and a group of 4 other girls stopped before me. I smiled at them,
"Hey Stacey" I greet her, she gives me what I hope is a smile,
"Hey Quinn…" Her perfect blue eyes trailed over my shoulder where I knew Rachel was standing, "oh hey Rupual… I think you've got a little something on your shnoze"
The 4 girls snickered behind her and I gave Rachel a soft smile to let her know it was just a joke.
"So Fabray, looking forward to the big 15 tonight?"
"Oh you have no idea!" I exclaim clapping my hands together. There's a bit of a pause as I look at the group of intimidating girls. They are looking at each other some of them had smirks on their faces.
I feel someone touch my shoulder gently and I turn to look at Rachel holding her camera closely to her chest,
"I'll just wait for you outside okay?" She walks off before I can answer.
"So now that your pet has finally left…" Stacey dramatically sighs out, "I'm sorry to say that I don't think that me and the girls will be able to come this evening." I raise my eyebrows, she continues one,
"Yeah… Mr shuester has gone insane and is giving us like the hardest Spanish assignment ever! And well Finn is sorta helping us with the assignment so I guess, he won't be able to make it either."
I felt my heart sink. This was not happening, this was not happening!
Of course it's happening what did you expect to happen?
I dunno maybe actually become popular for once!
Quinn open your eyes, you know where this is heading…
I sighed and bit my bottom lip before looking up at Stacey,
"I could do the assignments for you?"
I suggested. I saw Stacey's face light up and I knew I had made the right choice.
"Oh my gosh well that's settled then! We'll see you at 5:30!"
And with that I knew I was in! Stacey Christophers was coming to my party! Finn Hudson was coming to my party! I'd have my first kiss tonight! With Finn Hudson!
Stacey and the rest walked past me and I smiled eagerly at each of them!
Nice one Fabray! We're in!
Yes I know we're in!
What do you think it's gonna be like?
Kissing Finn?
Duh!
I have no clue… amazing!
Maybe probably better than amazing!
He has the most amazing lips!
And that hair!
Don't forget his smokin' body…
Um Quinn?
Ugh what do you want?
Don't you have to be somewhere?
No….
Rachel's waiting for you outside. Does her name ring a bell?
Who? Oh! Rach! Woops!
Yeah that's what I thought…
Sorry Rach I'm coming now!
I met Rachel outside the school, camera in hand and taking pictures of some nearby trees.
I sneak up beside her, I see her small little hands adjusting the lends on the camera as I stealthily raise my arms ready for the attack. With sudden movement I dive my hands into her sides and tickle her silly. She squeals loudly and I laugh as I feel her squirming beneath me.
"Quinn….. Qui—Quinn Fabray! Sto- stop right… right ahhhhhhh!" We are both doubled over now laughing our heads off, we receive strange looks from other students leaving but we both don't care. I finally let go of her when she threatens to bite me and we both let out our final gasps as the laughter dies down.
I stoop down to pick up my bag that had fallen off my shoulder during my attack and set off working towards home. Rachel is walking by my side now and we look at each other.
She bites her bottom lip and faces the ground, I wait for the rambling to spill out… and sure enough after a few more seconds… and…
"Quinn…" here it comes I smile to myself for my exactly knowledge of Rachel timing but then I realize that she's about to start a monologue and I have a feeling I know what it's about.
"Why did you invite them? You know you're better than them, and don't tell me it's just because you want to be popular or be there friend. They are totally unoriginal mean girls, and you are the most prettiest unique amazing individual girl I have ever met! Which is why you are my best friend! And sure I know Finn is cute but he isn't worth it. No one in this silly town is worth it for you Quinn!"
I stared at my moving feet as we approached our houses. Why did Rachel always say the right words at the wrong time?
"Look Rach" I sigh out tired of this conversation that we seemed to be having a lot lately.
"I'm friends with Stacey!" I see Rachel roll her eyes and it instantly irritates me,
"It's true! We are friends and it's going to stay that way, if this party goes right my life… OUR lives will be so much easier! I mean, don't you want to be popular too Rach?"
I see her facial expression soften, and I know the answer to that question already. She stays silent and the air around us thickens with silent tension. I don't know what to say because I know I've touched a something in Rachel.
Since the first day I met Rachel all the way back in first grade she was bullied for her "big nose" and her two gay dads. I flash back to the first day we met and became best friends.
I was nervous as hell clutching on the soft toy that my mother had left with me to ensure that I wouldn't be completely on my own on the first day of school, ever!
My purple monkey was secure in my tight embrace as I sat in the classroom watching other kid's parents say goodbye and hugging them one last time before leaving. I watched enviously at the other kids who still had their parents with them. I continued staring as I felt the first trickle of tears escape my eyes and roll down my cheeks. I cuddled my soft monkey closer to my chest softly sobbing to myself. And then someone handed me a bottle of water. I looked up to see a short pale man with a pair of nerdy glasses on his face smiling gently at me holding out a bottle of water. Standing next to him holding his hand was a small little girl smiling a bedazzling smile at me, even back then her big brown eyes held comfort within them.
"Here you go sweety, don't cry, here have some water." I look at him shyly before looking at the delicious bottle of water in his hands. I take the bottle but don't drink anything.
"Hey princess, are you okay if I leave now?" he asked the little girl with a kind smile. She smiled sweetly at him,
"Yes daddy, I want to sit with the angel" She looked over at me and then hugged him before shooing him off like she'd done this a million times.
I watched him walk away and then set my stare back at the curious girl. She was staring at me before she took a bold step forward,
"I'm Rachel Berry, what's your name?"
"Quinn"
She ignored my shy and reluctant behavior and sat next to me. She took the bottle of water from my hands opened it and gave it back,
"Daddy says drinking water makes you feel much better!"
I take a sip, and to my surprise a feel like smiling afterwards.
"Does your monkey want some?" I stare down at my purple monkey, he does look a little sad.
"His name is Titch"
I see the Rachel Berry smile at him waving hello before extending out a hand to introduce herself.
I pick up Titch's limp arm and shake Rachel Berry's.
"He says he likes you, do you have any toys so we can play?"
Rachel Berry smiles at me wider than I've seen anyone smile in my life and she pulls out a small lamb.
"This is Scarlett st Lamb, she used to belong to Mary but then she got lost and I found her, my dad's say it was destiny that we found each other"
"What's a destiny?" I ask her absentmindedly playing with Titch's feet.
"I don't know, it's like something that everyone on earth has! My dad's say sometimes it brings people who are meant for each other together other times it helps people go find other things that they love."
I'm awestruck by this new information.
We are silently playing for a moment and almost every single parent has left now.
"Hey Rachel?"
"Yes Quinn?"
"Do I have a destiny?" Rachel looks up from her lamb and stares at me curiously.
"I don't know, do Angels have a destiny?" I giggle at the fact that she thinks I'm an angel,
"Why do you keep calling me an angel?"
"Angels are supposed to be the most prettiest things ever!" she announces as if it was obvious.
"oh…" I laugh and then Rachel laughs and we are both laughing loudly. A boy passes just then.
He pokes Rachel on the shoulder,
"Why do you have such a big nose?" he accuses very loudly.
I stare at Rachel and I can already see her eyes pooling with unshed tears. The boy started laughing at her and soon other kids were laughing to. I grab Rachel's hand to try to stop her from crying. Seeing that that didn't help as much as I hoped I stood up and walked over to the mean boy.
"Why did you say that? You big meanie!"
"Because it's true, look it's so huge and weird!"
I turn to Rachel and she's crying even harder. I feel bad for her and I turn to the boy. I push him hard and he stumbles a little bit.
"Hey!" He yells at me.
I stand my ground,
"Don't be a meanie to her ever again!" I turn my back on him to face Rachel she is looking at me with disbelief and awe. I pick up the water bottle and handle it to her.
I sit back down and continue playing with Titch for a couple of minutes.
"Quinn." I look up,
"yeah?"
"I think you are my destiny" I smile wide at her.
And from that day on Rachel Berry and I became best friends.
We arrived at our houses in silence. Of course being the best friends that we are we lived right next to each other. My home wouldn't be my home without Rachel Berry living two steps away from me. We stopped in front of our houses. I was scared my comment had made her angry at me. So I didn't break the silence first and waited for her. She looked up at me beneath her long lashes and sighed.
"Gobstopper?"
I crack into my Rachel Berry grin. She was the best best friend ever!
"I would love one"
