A/N: First off thanks to all those who reviewed and for all the follows/favorites this story has gotten. I wasn't expecting any really. I just wanted to try a new writing style. So please bear with me. I'm doing my best :)

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WERE SLUSHIED?" I have to pull the phone away from my ear as Sara yells.

"Can you please not yell?"

"I'm sorry but who slushies people? That's not even funny"

"Apparently these kids do and they think it's hilarious"

"I think you should be home schooled" I laugh and shake my head.

"I'm not going to be home schooled" I tell her. "I'll be fine. I'll just bring an extra pair of clothes to school, maybe two"

"Two? Why two? Wait how many times did you get slushied today?" I hear her words start to tighten towards the end of her sentence likes she's clenching her teeth together.

"I…I"

"Rachel?"

"Twice" I say sadly.

"TWICE?! I'm so coming down there and I'm going to throw slushies at them and see how they like it"

"No don't its fine"

"Rachel it's not fine. Did you tell your dads? Maybe they can talk to the principal or something"

"No I didn't tell them and I'm not going. Kurt one of the boys I met today told me this has been going on forever so I don't think me going to the principal with my dads is going to stop it" There's dead silence and I know Sara isn't happy. I hear her sigh in the phone which makes me frown. "I'll be okay. I promise" I tell her trying to ease her mind.

"I wish I was there to protect you" I hear her say sadly.

"I wish you were here too"

"So other than getting slushied you had a good day?"

"Yes. OH!" I say excitedly. "Remember that cheerleader I told you about? The one I thought was going to beat me?"

"Uh huh"

"You'll never guess who she turned out to be" I start bouncing up and down on my bed. Sara is going to flip out when I tell her.

"Who is she, your new girlfriend?" I stop bouncing and I can hear Sara laughing through the phone.

"No. It's Ana"

"Ana who?"

"Ana Ana. First grade Ana" I hear a thud. "Sara?"

"Sorry I dropped the phone. It's really Ana?" Sara says her voice full of concern. Not the reaction I thought I would get. "Where has she been? She remembered you? Did she say anything about me?" I smile. There's the reaction I was waiting for. Sara rambles on and on more so than I do when she's a little excited.

"Sara breathe"

"Sorry I'm just like wow Ana. You know?"

"It's Santana now" I correct her.

"Santana?"

"Yeah, she doesn't go by her nickname anymore. She uses her full name"

"Ana, Santana whatever. Did you happen to mention I was coming down this weekend?"

"I did and said she'll think about joining us but if she does come over promise me one thing"

"What's that?"

"Promise me you guys won't fight over whose wife I am?" I say as I bite my bottom lip trying so hard not to laugh.

"She told you we did that? What a bitch! Did she tell you anything else?"

"Language" I laugh. "No she didn't say anything else"

"Good. Well I guess I showed her right? I ended up with you in the end"

"I don't know. Santana's pretty cute"

"What?"

"I think I might have a change of heart" I tease Sara.

"You wouldn't" I start laughing. "Stay away from Ana"

"Santana"

"Whatever" I roll my eyes and shake my head.

"I love you"

"I love you too" Sara mumbles on the other end.

The next day at school is a little better than the first. I've managed to make it all the way to lunchtime without being slushied so I'm taking that as a good sign. I continue to text Sara since I'm not sure what everyone is talking about. They keep going on about Sectionals and who gets the solo this year. I'm not really sure what that means.

"Earth to Rachel" I look up and see Kurt waving his hand in my face. "Did you hear what I said?"

"No sorry" He sighs at me like he's annoyed.

"I asked if you can sing"

"Sing?" I think about it for a moment. "Umm… yeah I think I can sing"

"And we don't mean in the shower girl" Mercedes says with a smile.

"Well if you're not doing anything after school today you should drop by the choir room. All of us are in Glee Club and we could uses some more people"

"Glee Club?"

"It's show choir. We practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. Come and try out. I'm sure whether you can sing or not Mr. Schue will let you in" Kurt says. I just smile.

"I'll think about it" The bell rings and I quickly get up. I'm not too sure about this Glee Club but it's not like I have anything else to do after school so I guess it won't hurt to go. I make a real quick stop at my locker and as I close the door I see Santana walking with her other friends in my direction.

"Hey. Can I walk with you to class?"

"In your dreams hobbit" She barks at me and continues to walk right passed me. I sort of just freeze in place. What just happened? That was Santana right? As confused as I am I make my way to class. I take a sit in my same spot as yesterday and just wait for class to start. Just as the bell rings I see Santana walk in and to my surprise she takes a seat next to me.

"I'm sorry I snapped at you" She whispers to me but I just ignore her. "Did you hear me? I said I was sorry"

"I heard you" I say a little too loudly and the teacher gives me a warning look. I mouth a sorry.

"It's just… a habit I have. I'm trying to be nicer to you dor…" I glare at Santana and she shuts her mouth. She better not even think about calling me a dork. "To you unpopular kids" She corrects herself.

"Why are you so called "popular" kids" I say with air quotes. "So mean to everyone else?"

"I don't know" Santana says with a shrug. "It's just the way it goes. Wasn't it like this at your other school?" I shake my head no. "Oh. Well I'm sorry. We're not all rude though. Some of us are awesome people" She gives me a smirk and I just glare at her uninterested.

"I talked to Sara yesterday and she really wants you to come over this weekend" I say changing the subject.

"I doubt she really wants me to come over" I roll my eyes.

"She'll be here Friday night. You should come over"

"I have plans Friday"

"Saturday?"

"I have cheer practice"

"On a Saturday? Well I'm sure it isn't all day. Just come over after it's done" I see her go quite and I can tell she's having an inner battle with herself. "If you don't want to come over just say so or is this against popular unpopular rules" She smirks at me again.

"There's no rules…Well actually there are but for you I'll break them"

"Great!" I give her a big smile and she rolls her eyes and smiles back at me. The bell rings a little while after and I see a football player come up to Santana.

"Lopez. Tell Schue I'm not coming today. I have something to take care of"

"Puck it's the first day"

"Just tell him" He takes off before Santana can protest again.

"You two are in Glee?"

"Yeah?" Santana says in a what's your point tone.

"Glee is show choir isn't it?" Santana nods her head yes. "Well aren't you guys popular? Are you allowed to be in choir?"

"It's Glee not choir and yes we're allowed. It's the only place where is doesn't matter if you're popular or not. When you're in the room you're family"

"Oh"

"How'd you know about Glee anyways?"

"Kurt ask me to come and try out"

"Figures, can you sing?" I shrug my shoulders. "Well Sugar can't sing and she's in the club"

"Sanny" We both turn our heads and I see a smiling blonde cheerleader at the door. "I forgot how to get to my next class"

"I'm coming Britt" Santana starts to leave but turns back towards me one more time. "Come try out unless you know you really suck and if that's the case just go home" She gives me a wink before going out the door with her friend. That was rude! I do not suck. Now I'm really going to have to go to this Glee Club.

As the day ends I find myself looking for the choir room. I think I've gone down every hallway in this school and I still can't find it.

"Hey you look a little lost. Can I help you?" I turn and see this very tall football player looking at me with this goofy looking smile.

"Umm…yeah thanks" I'm a little nervous about taking his help. I don't want to get surprised slushied. "I'm looking for the choir room"

"I was just on my way over there. Come on I'll show you"

"Thank you"

"You're new aren't you" He asks me as we walk down the same hallway I think I went down three times already.

"Yeah I am"

"I'm Finn" He stops and extends his hand. I shake it and smile.

"Rachel" We continue to walk until we finally get to the choir room. When we walk in every stops and just stares at the both of us.

"Nice of you to join us Finn"

"Sorry Mr. Schue" Finn says before taking off and taking a seat leaving me standing by myself.

"Hello. What's your name?"

"Rachel…Rachel Berry"

"Mr. Schue this who I was telling you about" I hear Kurt say. "She's new. I told her to come try out"

"Well Glee Club can always use some new members. Rachel was it? I'm Mr. Schue, can you sing?"

"I…I think so" I say honestly.

"Alright well let's hear something"

"Right now?" I start to panic. I didn't know I had to sing something right here and now. I can't sing in front of everyone unprepared.

"It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just tell Brad our piano guy the song and let's hear what you got" Mr. Schue walks away and takes a seat with the rest of the kids. I'm now freaking out. I walk over to Brad and tell him the song and he nods his head at me. I walk to the middle of the room and while I wait for the music to start I scan the room and my eyes land on Santana. She gives me a reassuring smile and when I hear the song start I open my mouth to start singing but there's a problem. Nothing's coming out of my mouth. I can hear a few snickers and I can feel my face burning red. I'm so embarrassed. The music stops and I'm ready to turn and run away when I hear someone start to sing.

"I don't know but… I think I maybe… fallin' for you dropping so quickly. Maybe I should keep this to myself. Waiting 'til I know you better" I see its Santana singing and she gesturing for me to join her but I shake my head no. I can't I'm still nervous.

"I am trying" I see her get up and start walking towards me. "Not to tell you but I want to. I'm scared of what you'll say. So I'm hiding what I'm feeling but I'm tired of holding this inside my head"

"Rachel sing" She says as she passes me and takes a seat on top of the piano that's next to me. For some reason having her close by makes me feel a little bit more comfortable so I open my mouth and start singing.

"I've been spending all my time just thinking about ya. I don't know what to do I think I'm fallin' for you. I've been waiting all my life and now I found ya. I don't know what to do I think I'm fallin' for you. I'm fallin' for you" I continue to sing the rest of the song with the help of Santana. Once the song ends everyone is really quite. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

"Rachel? Have you ever…sung before?" Mr. Schue asks me.

"No. Why was I bad? I can try again. I just wasn't prepared. If you give me a week or a day I can do it again"

"No. It wasn't bad it was…it was amazing. I've never heard anyone sing like that before. On behave of all the Glee Club members I want to welcome you to The New Directions" Everyone well except for one cheerleader I think her name is Quinn comes towards me and hugs me. They all let go and go back to their seats.

"Nice voice" Santana says with a nudge as she walks back to her seat. I'm not sure where I'm supposed to sit until I see Tina patting the seat next to her. I make my way over and take a seat. Mr. Schue starts to talk about song lists and hands us some music sheets. I'm beyond happy right now and all I can think about it calling Sara and telling her the good news.
