A/N: 1 week later it's Rachel's first day at WMHS
Finn Hudson walked down the crowded halls of William McKinley High School. He was glad to be back, even though summer was great he loved school. He was the quarterback of the football team, he dated the hottest and most popular girl at the school and was the lead singer In new directions. He walked over to his locker and turned the little dial. His locker opened and he stuffed his bag inside. He looked over and saw a short girl with long brunette hair. She was probably the prettiest girl he had ever seen. "Damn she's hott." he thought to himself. Then he suddenly cursed himself for thinking about other girls.
"What do you mean I can't join the glee club here?" the girl argued Into her cell phone.
"I can join If I want!" she spat. "Oh so you got a new girlfriend, love you too." she shouted and then flipped her phone shut. She unhooked her necklace she was wearing and threw it in her locker. He could see a tear roll down her cheek..
He walked over to her locker. "Hey, you okay?" he asked her.
Rachel looked up and saw a really tall boy with brown puppy dog eyes and a cute little grin. He was wearing a red football jersey and jeans. She wiped the tears from her face. "I'm fine, it's just my boyfriend broke up with me." she said sadly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, your new here right?" he asked.
"Yeah, I just transferred from Carmel."Rachel replied.
"Cool. I'm Finn Hudson." he said.
"Rachel Berry, nice to meet you!" she said as she shook his hand.
"Hey, what class do you have next?" he asked.
"Let me check."Rachel said as she rummaged through her pink binder. "Language, you?"
"Me too" he smiled.. "Can I walk you to class?"
"Yeah, sure." she smiled as they started walking down the hall. He's really cute! She thought to herself.
"So, you're a singer?" he asked her.
"Yeah! How did you know?" she wondered.
"Well, I heard you talking about joining the glee club. Would you wanna try out for ours? We need a female lead." he rambled on.
"I'd love too!" she said enthusiastically.
"Great, just come to the choir room tomorrow after school." he pointed over to a door labeled music room.
"Hey babe" a girl with blonde hair in a high ponytail and a red cheerleading outfit wrapped her arms around Finn and kissed him.
"Oh, uh hey." Finn said nervously. He looked at Rachel to see her reaction.
Quinn saw Finn staring at someone else. She looked over and saw a petite girl with long brown hair wearing a plaid skirt and cardigan.
"Hello, I'm Quinn. Finn's girlfriend." she smiled sweetly at the short girl. "You must be new?"
"Yeah, I'm Rachel." the girl seemed uncomfortable, shifting positions.
"Nice to meet you Rachel." she plastered a fake smile on her face.
"Well I'll uh, leave you two alone." she said as she looked at Finn.
"You don't have to go!" Finn said quickly.
What the heck? She thought. Why does he want her to stay? Does he think she's prettier? Quinn glared at Finn. "So what class do you have next?" she turned to Finn.
"Language arts." he said.
"Math." she said with envy.
"Okay, so see you at lunch?" he looked at her.
"Bye." she said icily. She kissed him and walked away. What the hell was with him? This whole summer was amazing! They spent all the time together and now they were the It couple! So why was he so hung up on that Rachel chick? I mean, sure she's really pretty. But what's so special about her?
Finn wondered what was up with Quinn. She seemed pissed. He looked down to Rachel who was staring at her feet.
"I'm guessing she doesn't like me." Rachel said.
"Don't worry about her" he said smiling as they walked to class.
Rachel grabbed a lunch tray, got her food, and then realized that she had no where to sit.
"Crap, there's nowhere to sit." she looked around awkwardly.
"Hi, I'm Tina!" said a girl with long black hair that had dark makeup and gothic clothes on.
"You look lost." she said smiling slightly.
"Rachel Berry, and yeah." Rachel blushed.
"Come sit with me and my friends!" she offered.
"Sure!" Rachel beamed as she followed Tina over to a table.
"Hey everyone!" Tina said to a group of kids. "This is Rachel! Finn said she's gonna try out for our glee club." Tina said smiling.
"Hey Rachel! I'm Mercedes!" said a black girl with cool clothes and funky hair.
"Welcome to WMHS! The names Kurt." a boy with very fashionable clothes and slicked back hair spoke..
"And I'm Artie!" a boy In a wheelchair said from the end of the table.
Rachel pulled out a chair and sat down. "Nice to meet you guys!"
"So where did you go to school?" Mercedes asked curiously.
"Carmel." Rachel answered.
"You mean "thee Carmel high"? Artie looked stunned.
"Yep." Rachel said.
"That schools fantastic." Kurt clapped his hands together.
"Wait, you were In vocal adrenaline?" Tina wondered.
"mhmm."
"Oh my god. There amazing." Mercedes said shocked. "You must be really good then."
"I guess." Rachel felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Finn smiling down at her. "Hey Rachel, wanna come sit by us?" he looked at her hopefully.
"Sure. See you guys later." Rachel stood up and walked over to Finn's table.
Finn stopped at the foot of his table. "Hey guys this Is Rachel, she just moved here. Rachel waved her hand shyly.
"I'm Puck, you single?" he winked at Rachel.
Finn suddenly was very jealous.
"Yeah." he saw Rachel turn bright red.
"Dude!" Finn glared at Puck.
"Sorry, but not really." puck smirked.
"That's Mike, Matt, Azimio, Dave, and Puck." he said pointing out each person. All the guys said hi to Rachel. "And then theirs Santana, Brittany, and you've met Quinn.
"Nice outfit." Santana laughed.
"Are you Russian? Brittany asked randomly.
Finn looked over and saw that Rachel was trying not to laugh. He almost started laughing looking at Rachel's face. "No one really understands Brittany." he said under his breath. Rachel giggled as she sat down.
"Hey Rachel." Quinn spoke with annoyance.
"Hi Quinn." Rachel replied with a smile.
All through lunch he couldn't stop staring at Rachel. The way she eat her salad with grace or how she took little sips of her water. Wow he was really messed up wasn't he.
A/N: So rachel and Finn are instantly attracted but quinn dosn't seem so happy...
