A/N: Hello there. This is a new story I came up with trying to avoid my home work, I hope you enjoy reading it. Please leave a review and tell me what you think.
"Man hands, Man hands," Quinn said trying to wake Rachel up in the middle of their English class, before Rachel got in trouble for sleeping in class. "Berry" Quinn tried a little louder also kicking Rachel's chair. "Come on Berry get up," this time Quinn kicked her chair a little harder and the brunette immediately got up.
Rachel noticed she had been drooling; she wiped her mouth and the desk free from drool. She looked around and saw that everyone was busy in their books, while their teacher Miss Corcoran - yes, Shelby Corcoran, Rachel's mother worked at McKinley, the same Shelby Corcoran who told her daughter she rather them appreciate each other from afar now worked at McKinley for the past month or so and saw Rachel almost every single day of the week, which in Rachel's mind was not appreciating from far, but was the total and complete opposite. She was their English teacher and Glee teacher alongside Mr. Shue - was at her desk concentrating on some papers she had to mark.
This had to be the third time Rachel fell asleep during class for this week. Quinn could care less about Rachel, but recently, she just was not the same, there was just something different. No, it was not the change from her argyle sweaters to something a bit more fashionable and pleasing to the eyes like jeans and T-Shirts which in Quinn's mind was probably the best thing that ever happened to Rachel, which was a change in fashion from those hideous clothes, just the thought of them, made Quinn want to throw up a bit. It was not the seat change, from the front of the class, to the middle of the class. Something about her was definitely different, but Quinn just could not put her finger on it at this moment. She just knew, the Rachel that sat in front her was not the same Rachel berry she knew a few months ago.
After getting the drool off her face, Rachel turned around and thanked Quinn for waking her up. Quinn just looked at her and nodded. Just as Rachel was about to start the work, bell rang and everyone began rushing out of class, Rachel sighed in frustration and began packing away her things slowly, not wanting to go to glee today. Rachel watched as Quinn exited the class. Rachel got her things together and began slowly walking to the door.
"Rachel" Shelby called just before Rachel left the classroom, "I need to talk to you," Shelby said looking up from her papers.
Rachel slowly turned around and walked to Shelby's desk.
"Rachel, is everything alright? I have noticed you have been a bit distant lately and not to mention two detentions this week for falling asleep in class," Shelby said searching Rachel's face.
Rachel thought back; luckily for her, the two days she had detention, no other than Shelby had detention supervision, what great luck I have Rachel thought.
"Yeah, everything's alright, I'm just tired that's all, I just have a lot of midterms I need to study for," Rachel said.
"Okay. You don't want to be late for glee club, off you go," Shelby said.
All the more reason Rachel did not want to go to Glee Club, Shelby was going to be there. With that said, Rachel left and made her way to her locker and to glee club.
Everyone was sitting together, discussing daily events and by daily events, one could only imagine what that meant, school gossip. Rachel took a seat and just listened to everyone talk.
Five minutes later, Mr. Shue and Shelby walked into Glee club together. Everyone stopped talking looked at the two. Shelby took a seat and everyone fixed their attention on Mr. Shue.
Mr. Shue went up to the white board and wrote the new glee assignment for the week. Everyone tried to figure out what it was.
"Secrets," Mr. Shue said as he finished writing, "This week's assignment is about secrets and what a better way to get close to each other than sharing secrets. You all will sing a song about a secret you have."
There were mummers coming from everyone in the room and of course it was Mercedes who had to make a statement.
"Mr. Shue I don't feel comfortable sharing secrets with these people in here since most of them are judgmental bitches," Mercedes said.
There were a few nods and agreements coming from everyone.
"Guys think about it, sharing secrets with each other in this room, will bring us closer together and probably appreciate each other a little more,"
"Rachel," Mr. Shue called, "What do you think about the assignment?" Mr. Shue asked, immediately all eyes were on Rachel.
Rachel cleared her throat, "I think it's a pretty good idea," Rachel said.
Everyone was amazed by Rachel's short response; they were expecting a speech and then something about a solo then Rachel singing a song.
"Do you have a fever?" Kurt asked in shock, "Who are you and what have you done with the diva that is Rachel Berry," Kurt said amazed.
"I'm just tired," Rachel said another short response.
"Oh come on Berry that's a lame excuse and you know it. We all know very well tired or not you have went on and on," Santana said, "So Berry, what's going on?"
"Nothing," Rachel said.
"Yeah, let's pretend we all believe that." Santana said and Rachel shot her a glare.
"Whatever floats your boat Santana," Rachel said.
Before Santana could say anything else, Mr. Shue continued on about the assignment. After what seemed like years, Mr. Shue finally convinced everyone to do the assignment and with that done, glee club was dismissed until the next day.
Just as Rachel was walking out the door, someone pulled her aside. It was Quinn and Santana.
"Okay Man hands, what's the deal? You've been acting strange lately." Quinn said.
"Nothing just drops it," Rachel said defensively.
That only confirmed Santana's and Quinn's suspicion that something was wrong. Santana and Quinn let her go. As Rachel left, they both looked at each other. They then left with Brittany who was worried about Rachel.
When Rachel arrived home, the first thing she was greeted by was the smell of alcohol as she opened the door.
