'I'll see you tomorrow Lauren' 'Okay' they both hang up and Rachel walks to the kitchen to grab something to eat. Her father's were away from a business trip therefore she had the house to herself. She threw together a salad and sat down to watch some television. She loved watching Ellen; she loved laughing after coming home from school. Her normal school day was depressing but now that she had an amazing day already, she wasn't laughing at all of her jokes; she wasn't even actually watching the show at all. The only thing on Rachel's mind at the moment was one Finn Hudson. She didn't know why she liked him so much, but when they spoke earlier that day on the field her love for him accelerated immensely. As soon as Rachel began to lie down to relax for the first day that week the door bell rang through the house. She sighed and hopped up placing her bowl on the table on her way to the door. 'Hey girl! What's up?' Rachel rolled her eyes as she let her best friend; Lauren inside her house. 'What are you doing here?' Lauren made her way through the familiar route to Rachel's bedroom. Being an only child, Rachel was spoilt. She knew that, Lauren knew that, everyone at school knew that. Rachel's bedroom was huge; she had basically a hallway as the entrance to her room. To the left was a bathroom, which was tiled to perfection and was neat and tidy as well. Lauren loved coming to Rachel's house, especially when her father's were away. Rachel's fathers were happy with the two girls staying at the house by themselves, as long as no males entered the house that they weren't aware of.
'Okay since it is Friday and we have no school tomorrow, both of us aren't working we are having a sleepover and we are going to talk about; in depth about your little afternoon with Mr. Finn Hudson. Rachel rolled her eyes at her friend as they stocked up food to take to Rachel's room for the night. She showed Lauren her annoyance but secretly she wanted to talk about Finn. Lauren is the only person Rachel could talk to, her fathers...well they were her fathers and basically she didn't have any other friends. Once they were comfortably seated on Rachel's bed with pillows, drinks and food Lauren began the conversation eagerly. 'So, how was the kiss? Romantic? Rushed? A peck? Tongue?' 'Ewwww' Rachel whined as she listened to Lauren's speech. 'It was a romantic, peck that didn't last for very long, which made is more romantic.' Rachel was in love, Lauren could tell and she was so happy for her best friend. 'I have an idea. Why don't you ring, Mr. Perfect and put the call of speaker phone so that I can hear. PROMISE I won't say anything.' Lauren quickly added holding her arms up in defence. 'Please please please please please...' 'Okay, if you stop saying please.' The two girls laughed, as they usually did after every tiny humorous issue. Lauren handed Rachel the phone that was sitting next to Rachel's bed. Flicking through Rachel's phonebook out of boredom, she stopped at the fourth person down in the list...Finn Hudson. 'How on earth do you have his phone number?' Rachel grabbed her phone from Lauren and began to defend herself, 'He gave me it before I left the other day, he said that if I ever needed anything just to call, and...He gave me his number.' She finished holding up the phone, as evidence. Lauren squealed at the top of her lungs. 'O...M...G... Are you serious? That is so cute, you two are adorable together.' 'Lauren we aren't even going out, we haven't even gone out on a date yet?' 'Honey...you kissed, he gave you his number, you held hands. What else do you guys want to d... Oh Rachel. No!' 'Lauren, don't even think that! That is disgusting! I don't want to sleep with him...just yet.' Rachel whispered the last statement, knowing that Lauren heard. 'Give me the phone right now!' Lauren demanded. Lauren was very difficult when she wanted something, knowing her for all of these years Rachel has realised not to fight with her but to give her what she wants. Dialling Finn's number, the two girls waited for Finn to pick up. 'Hello?' 'Hi, it is um...Rachel Berry.' 'Oh! Hi Rach, what a nice surprise.' Lauren was in the background of Rachel's peri vial vision mouthing dramatically...'Rach?' Rachel giggled accidently. 'What was that for? Did I say something funny?' 'No that is okay.' 'Um I just wanted to know if you want to catch up tomorrow night.' 'Oh sure, where do you want to go?' Finn asked politely. Rachel was really surprised with the manners, Finn shows towards Rachel, especially coming from a popular jerk at William McKinley High School. 'Breadsticks?' 'That sounds great. Do you want me to pick you up at 6:30?' 'Sure. I'll see you then' 'Rach?' 'Yeah?' 'Thanks for calling' Rachel just laughed as she hung up the phone. The two girls just talked to each other all night, deciding what Rachel would be wearing and what she would say. Lauren was as excited as Rachel, they both couldn't wait for tomorrow night.
