Disclaimer: I dont own glee, or the white house, or the characters! I do however own the mistakes :)
I dont know much about being a president (obviously :P) so i just got some information from the internet :)
I know you have to be like 35+ to be a president, but this is just a story!
Please review if you would like me to continue or if you dont :)
She was only twenty five years old and here she sat in the oval office, the president of the United States of America. At first there had been some conflict because she was so young and didn't have much experience, but she was proud of how far she had gotten, she's worked so hard to get here.
It's been two years since she was elected as the world's youngest US president. She had started becoming involved in fundraising and campaigning from 17, and always had speeches prepared, she was after all Rachel Barbara Berry. It also helped that her dad Leroy was involved in the Democratic Party, although he wasn't allowed to interfere with her role. After much debate, blood, sweat and tears, she was selected for candidate. She travelled to most states with her fathers and team and campaigned.
The people of America fell in love with the petite brown eyed beauty, and she vowed not to let them down when she won presidency.
So here she sat working hard at her desk, making her next appointment to meet with Harry Fallow, the head executive of state departments.
She was startled when her office intercom came alive next to her
"Miss Berry, I have a Britney Pierce here to see you" Tina has been her secretary from the beginning and before that she was on her campaigning team, they had formed quite a strong friendship over the years. This industry tended to be lonely, as the people Rachel dealt with everyday were just her colleagues.
"Okay, you can send her in, Thanks Tina" Rachel held down the button and spoke into the intercom
The door to her office opened and in skipped a bubbly blonde, shutting the door behind her
"Hey Rachy" She smiled and went to sit on the couch, making herself comfortable
"Britt, I've told you before to text or call before you come to see me, I could have been in a meeting or something. I know we're best friends, but to everyone here I'm the president, I'm not supposed to just mess about and be childish, I have duties to fulfil" Rachel said looking at the blonde with a small frown on her face, but she couldn't stay mad at her best friend.
She and Brittany had been close ever since 6th grade, if anyone knew the true Rachel berry it was Brittany. They were like sisters; they confided in each other and could never lie to one another.
The blonde had stuck by Rachel's side through thick and thin, even when Rachel told her friends she wanted to be president and they laughed in her face; Brittany believed in her. They did everything together, although now a days Rachel didn't have much free time on her hands and Brittany was at dance academy.
"I know Rach, I just keep forgetting you're the President! I've missed you; I just wanted to see how you're doing..." Brittany drawled out
Briefly Rachel flashes back to five months ago, when…that happened. Brittany had become more concerned over her friends wellbeing over the months, often checking to see how Rachel was holding up.
Rachel gets up and sits next to Britt on the coach, she can take a break for a few minutes, she kicks off her shoes and tucks her legs underneath herself on the couch.
"I'm doing okay Britt, just been busy with work. And Puck keeps trying to arrange a time when I can look over the applicants for a new body guard. It's just…" Rachel signs deeply and feels tears surfacing, bringing her hand up to discreetly brush her cheek where a lone tear escaped.
"It's just hard, you're the only person who really knows what happened, well and my dads of course. But I had to tell puck that I wouldn't feel that comfortable with a male agent, he probably thinks I'm being stupid but he doesn't know the extent of what happened" She continues, it's been five months, but it's still upsetting to talk about it, no one can ever fully recover.
Brittany puts her arm around Rachel and pulls her closer into a hug. Ever since she's known Rachel, the girl hasn't been afraid of what people think of her, and now especially being a president you can't let people's comments affect your life, but in the last five months, the petite girl has become more self-conscious; all because of him.
"He won't think you're stupid Rach, you're the president, like the cleverest person ever! Why don't we look over the applicants together, you need another body guard Rachel" Britt says softly, now playing with the ends of Rachel hair
Rachel chuckles, she loves her best friend, the ditzy blonde always manages to cheer her up.
"Thanks Britt, that's actually a really good idea. Umm, I have the afternoon off if you want to have a look" Rachel asks nervously. Brittany hugs Rachel tightly before pulling away and standing up, doing a small jump.
"Yes! C'mon go call puck"
"okay okay I'm going" Rachel said laughing. Being with Brittany made her feel like a young normal woman; normally she would forget she's only twenty five.
Rachel walked over to her desk and buzzed through to Tina, "Tina, could you please put me through to puck please" she said putting on her professional voice again
"Certainly President Berry" came the reply shortly. A few seconds later and a ruff voice could be heard through the phone
"Good afternoon madam President"
"Good afternoon to you too Puck, I have my good friend with me here in the office and we were wondering if now would be an okay time to look through those applicants for the body guard"
"That would be perfect ma'am, I'll be with you in ten minutes with all the papers necessary" Puck replied
"Okay, so Puck is coming up shortly with the papers" Rachel told Brittany
Exactly ten minutes later, the intercom buzzed with Tina asking Rachel's permission to send Puck in.
"Hello President Ma'am, Miss Brittany" Puck greeted the girls as he entered the office, making Brittany giggle
"Ma'am, I hope you don't mind- but I was able to get hold of the five applicants and they are happy to be seen by you today, if of course you are okay with that, I just thought that you were already looking at the papers you may as-"
"Puck" Rachel interrupted his nervous ramble. "That is fine, why don't we move this to the conference room then, and interview the applicants properly. I'll have Tina get us some tea and coffee" Rachel said collecting her jacket to match her black fitted skirt she was wearing.
Rachel, Brittany and Puck all made their way to the conference room, Tina already there with coffee. Rachel already had a substitute agent following her around the white house ensuring her safety, but she needed a permanent body guard.
"Hello Tina" Rachel greeted as she entered the conference room, taking a seat behind the large table that sat in the middle of the large room "Will you be joining us today in the hopes of getting a new agent?"
"Umm-m, yes that would be nice, if that's- I mean-"Tina stuttered
"Tina, just take a seat honey" Rachel said warmly gesturing to a seat next to her "And get yourself a drink too"
Tina got herself a cup of tea and sat down next to Rachel, putting her blackberry and diary on the table. Brittany collected her usual hot chocolate from Tina and sat on the other side of Rachel, Puck next to Brittany on the rounded table.
"So this is our first applicant to be interviewed" Puck stated passing the file to Rachel across the table.
"Okay, send her in" Rachel replied putting down her coffee and opening the file. Puck put his finger to his ear and murmured softly into the ear piece
Rachel heard the door opening and closing quietly but still didn't look up. She took a breath a looked up, only to have her breath catch in her throat, she was staring into the most gorgeous hazel eyes. She felt her palms getting sweaty so she discreetly wiped them on her skirt clad thighs, still not breaking eye contact with the woman before her.
"Good Afternoon President Berry, I'm Quinn Fabray Ma'am"
And with that she knew she wouldn't have to look at any other applicants.
