Rachel storms towards the library, where detention is being held, feeling angrier than she's ever felt her entire life. It isn't fair. Those other girls are stupid enough to fall for Santana's 'Keep it a secret' act, and she's being punished! She doesn't understand what's so great about Santana Lopez anyway. Sure she's popular, she's rich, and even Rachel had to admit Santana was hot, but are all of those things really worth being treated like that? Rachel's mood calms a little bit when she walks into the library and spots a girl singing Celine Dion's 'Because you loved me'. The poor girl sounded awful, but it was cute how hard she was trying. The girl continued to sing until she turned around and spotted Rachel

"Sorry, it's, uh." The girl stuttered, obviously embarrassed that she'd been caught

"Celine Dion, I understand." Rachel says

"Yeah, Yeah, it is." The other girl smiles

"Yeah, you can't really hum to Celine."

"No, once you've started, you're kind of obligated to belt it out." The girl jokes "I'm sorry you had to hear that, I know that my voice isn't the best."

"Yeah." Rachel agrees "I mean, it's not bad, but maybe it could use some work, I'm a singer, I can help, you know, I'm going to shut up beofre I insult you again." The girl laughs, reaching her hand out to Rachel

"I'm Sugar. You're from Chemistry, right?"

"Yeah, Yeah, I'm Rachel." She shakes Sugar's hand before looking around the room, noticing it's empty "So, um, where is everybody?" Sugar gives Rachel a confused look "Detention?"

"You came early to detention?" Sugar chuckles. Rachel blushes, embarrassed

"Oh, um, well, it's, you know, I would hate to miss a minute of being... detained." The girls laugh beofre hearing something from the other side of the library window . They look out to see Santana flirting with some girl

"Ugh." Rachel groans annoyingly. Seriously, doesn't Santana ever take a break?

"Oh, Wow, That's not, uh, usually the reaction she gets from girls, It's generally more like a..." Sugar squeals, jumping up and down. Rachel laughs at the accurate impression of the mindless girls in this school

"Yeah, okay, 'Jerk' isn't really my type." Sugar nods, understanding exactly where Rachel is coming from

"Yeah, you're right, she can have her jerk moments." Rachel stares at the other girl for a moment, clearly confused with that response

"Oh, I thought she was you guys' God or whatever." Rachel only half jokes. It just seems like Santana has got everyone in this school eating out of the palm of her hand

"You're close, she's my older sister." Rachel's eyes go wide, clearly not expecting that

"Oh, You're the other Lopez?"

"What is that? Is that, like, 'the loser Lopez'?" Sugar asks, sounding offended

"Oh, no, no, That's not what I meant, I just, you just don't look.." Rachel stops herself before she says something stupid again

"Tan, Curvy, or capable of inciting an all-girl smackdown? No, you're right, it's-it's cool, I'll let you in on a secret, though, my mom... says I'm special on the inside." Sugar says, throwing her backpack over her shoulder and heading towards the door

"Good for you." Rachel smiles

"Yeah." The younger Lopez says before walking out the door


Quinn walked through the halls of Mckinley, looking for Santana. She's not a hundred percent sure what's going on, but she was determined to get some answers. She finally spots the girl she's looking for, so she walks towards her and grabs her arm

"Santana? Can I talk to you for a sec?" She asks, looking awkwardly at Santana's friends, Sam and Finn

"Yeah, sure, Later, guys." The Latina says as Quinn drags her away

"Later, San." The boys call, running down the hall

"So, what's up?" Santana asks, noticing that her and Quinn have the hall to themselves

"In PE today, some loser said that she went out with you."

"Really? And you believed her?" Santana asks, sounding hurt

"No, I mean, I don't know, you can't have a girlfriend,"

"In basketball season, but if I could, you know who it'd be. You know, I don't know why girls say stuff like that, I mean, I think they're just jealous of what we have, Because we share something special, Something we don't have to label, You know, it's... it's an unspoken bond, and I just love how secure you're being..." Quinn smiles as Santana carries on with her speech. How could she have ever doubted this girl?


All four girls are now sitting in the library, waiting for detention to begin. While Tina, Brittany, and Quinn just glare at each other, Rachel tries really hard to not roll her eyes at their stupidity. She might think they're acting stupid, but the last thing she needs to do is piss off these girls. She's seen what happens when they get mad

"All right, detention has begun, I'll be right back, no talking!" The Spanish teacher, Will Schuester announces as he walks out of the room

"So, I talked to San," Quinn says once they're alone "It was sweet, she felt bad for you, she said that you were jealous because, we share something special, something that we didn't have to label because it's,"

"Because it's our unspoken bond and I just love how secure you are?" Brittany interrupts

"And it hurts me to hear you question it? Because," Tina jumps in

"You're the only girl for me?!" All three girls shout simultaneously

"Damn! She said the same thing to all of us." Quinn says, pissed off at herself that she didn't see through Santana's act

"Figures, she makes up with us, and then she hooks up with us,"

"You guys hooked up?" Tina interrupts Brittany, clearly disgusted and furious at this information

"Santana and I share something special," Brittany explains

"Oh, what, that you've both been in your pants?" Tina glares at Brittany

"We share a vegan/nonviolent outlook on life."

"Hippie slut." Quinn coughs

"Oh, nice, Quinn, It's not like everyone doesn't know, that Little Miss Cheerleader brings it on."

"You, too?" Tina asks, shocked

"Santana and I belong together, she is the team captain, and I am the head cheerleader,"

"Oh, I'm sorry, what kind of cheerleader?" Brittany replied

"Oh, like she'd take either of you two seriously!" Tina shouts

"Do not lump me with her!" Brittany shouts, pointing to the cheerleader

"Oh, so, what, now you're better than me?!" Quinn shouts

"Shut up," Rachel whispers, growing irritated with the other girls in the room

"What?" Quinn asks

"Excuse me?" Tina says

"What?" Brittany asks

"Sorry, S-Sorry." Rachel stutters, lowering her head. She does not need to anger these girls. She's still hurting from the ball that hit her face

"You have something to say?" Quinn hisses, showing off her best HBIC glare

"Uh, No, it's none of my business." Rachel says quietly, just hoping they'll let it go

"What?" Brittany asks. Rachel sighs heavily, if these girls want to know what she thinks so badly, then she'll tell them

"Okay, let me guess, Does she always use pet names like ''baby'' and ''sweetheart''? Yeah, it's not out of affection, It's so she won't mix up your names, and she's all about an unspoken bond, or something special, but never about a relationship, and the whole arrangement was your idea,so you feel guilty that she cheated,"

"Oh, my God, You're dating Santana, too!" Tina shouts, cutting off Rachel

"No, uh, no, I just knew someone like her, Skip." Rachel explains

"She's right, I mean, she's always making me feel guilty." Brittany says, reality slapping her in the face. How did they not know?

"Yeah," Quinn agrees

"It seems to me, that if a girl treats you like that," Rachel begins

"You'd break up with her, Blah-blah-blah-blah. Santana would have another girlfriend in a second." Quinn cuts her off

"No, I didn't say, 'break up,' I'd get even." Rachel smirks

"Who are you?" Tina asks curiously. Rachel opens her mouth to answer, only to be interrupted

"I know! You're that girl who wigged out last year and got sent to rehab!" Brittany shouts

"No, I.." Rachel tries again

"Then you got taken away for bulimia?" Brittany continues

"No,"

"Fat camp?" The blonde tries again, running out of ideas

"No, My name's," Rachel began

"Hey! No talking!" Mr Schuester cuts her off, poking his head into the library

"My name is,"

"No... talking!" He shouts again


RACHEL'S POV

I get home and immediately toss myself onto the couch. Today was exhausting to say the least. Who knew so much could happen in one day? I got into a fight, without really fighting, I met Sugar, who I should probably apologize to for being so rude, and I told Quinn, Tina, and Brittany exactly what kind of situation they were in. I kind of wish I could of told them my name though. All in all it was a very interesting day

"Rachel Barbara Berry!" Uh oh. Looks like my interesting day isn't over. My mom stomps into the living room, looking extremely angry "The school just called. You got detention for fighting, Rachel?!"

"I wasn't fighting, mom, I promise. These girls all started arguing for some guy and I just happened to be there." She seems to believe my story, because her face softens and she nods her head

"I believe you." She says, sitting down on the love seat "You're lucky they called me and not your father."

"What would he have done?" I asked, irritated that my mom would even bring him up "Ha? Climb off of Hiram for a second to answer his phone?"

"That's enough, Rachel." My mom says in a stern voice "You need to show your father more respect."

"Leroy lost all my respect when he cheated on you and abandoned me." I hiss angrily. My mom sighs heavily, running her fingers through her hair. I don't know why she's always standing up for my father, when he clearly doesn't deserve it. He cheated on my mom with a man who works in his office. I am not disgusted that he slept with a man, I am not homophobic, being bisexual that would make me a hypocrite, what I'm disgusted with is his infidelity. He and my mom were together almost ten years!

"That was nine years ago, Rachel." I know how long it's been, she doesn't need to remind me. I just think it's my dad's fault that my mom dates the kind of guys she does. She wants love so badly, that she'll try to find it with anyone "Maybe you should call,"

"No." I cut her off, knowing what she was going to suggest

"I won't force you to." My mother nods "Well, I'm in a hurry." She announces, jumping off the couch "I've got a big date tonight."

"Drummer?" I tease

"Doctor, Well, veterinarian, Technician." I chuckle. Really? Well, that's new

"So you're dating a dog nurse?" My mom smiles, when we hear a knock at the door

"I'll get it." She says, running towards the door "Rachel! You've got a friend at the door!"

"What?!" I shout, running towards the front door. I stare at my 'friend', wondering what she's doing here. Before I can ask her, I hear a car horn outside

"He's here!" My mother shouts, running out the door "Have fun, girls!" I watch her get into the car before I close the door

"Rachel, right?" Tina finally speaks up

"Yeah, Rachel." I answer, confusion washing over me. I open my mouth to ask her what she's doing here, when I hear another knock on the door. I open it to find the HBIC standing at my doorstep

"I wanna bring down you-know-who." Quinn whispers, walking into my house without another word. I hear yet another knock at my door before I can speak up. I don't even have to think about who it is when I open it this time

"Normally I'm opposed to the slaughter of animals, but in Santana Lopez's case, I'll make an exception." Brittany exclaims, standing next to the other girls

"I don't even know her." I say, already knowing what they were suggesting. I know I said I'd get even, but I didn't think they'd want me to get involved

"So? You don't know anyone, You're like the Swiss, You're neutered." Brittany says

"Uh, it's neutral," Tina corrects "Rachel, if the three of us tried this alone, we would kill each other."

"You brought us here, You showed us that we have something in common." Brittany explains

"Exactly, We all wanna kill Santana Lopez." Quinn says, crossing her arms

"Wow."
