Chapter 1

SPLASH! And the ice-cold blue drink drenches Rachel's face. "I'm so glad the reprieve is finally over now that you are no longer clinging on to the quarterback's arm. See you around, loser!" The jock jeers at the diva and walks away hooting and laughing with his friends.

"Maybe you should have thought twice before cheating on me, Rachel. I hope you remembered to pack extra clothes now that you don't have me to protect you" Finn says spitefully. "That would teach you not to mess with me." He steps away then turns back, dumping his own slushy at the brunette from the top of her head. Students at the hallway laughs even louder and points at Rachel.

Rachel stands frozen in the middle of the hallway with slushy dripping down her face and seeping through her clothes. She had expected this would happen but she was never able to prepare herself enough for the pain in her heart. It feels like someone went in and pricked a thousand needles all over it. The guy whom she thinks she loves is now gone to be replaced into this heartless beast.

Quinn Fabray, who is just a few feet away from the scene did not join in the laughter but with an unsmiling expression approaches Rachel and said, "Quit standing there with your mouth open like a baboon and clean yourself up, Berry. You are dripping all over the floor."

Rachel dejectedly grabs her emergency slushy kit and cleans herself up then went to her class. Everywhere she goes students are either smirking or laughing at her. Obviously they had heard about what had happened. On her way to the choir room for lunch, the diva was slushied again.

The third slushy of the day is thrown at her on her way to glee. She sees Finn give a high five to Azimio and laugh at Rachel's drenched appearance. The anger that she had been trying to keep inside just erupts and without much noise she barges inside the choir room and hit Finn at the back.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! I GET THAT YOU ARE MAD AT ME FOR SHARING ONE KISS WITH PUCK BUT TO GO BECOME SOME KIND OF A NEANDERTHAL AND THROW SOME BEVERAGE OVER SOMEONE IS JUST DOWNRIGHT CRUEL!"

Everyone in the choir room is shocked to see the Diva this angry. They could all see the little body shaking with all the emotions that are fast surfacing.

The shocked quarterback is stunned for a second and then his anger erupts, "NOTHING IS WRONG WITH ME RACHEL EXCEPT FOR YOUR FACE IN FRONT OF ME! WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET LOST BECAUSE YOU ARE NOTHING! YOU WERE NOTHING BEFORE WE GOT TOGETHER AND YOU ARE NOTHING NOW!"

"Look around you, Midget, and see if I am wrong. No one here is your friend and no one would even care enough to make you think otherwise." Rachel looks around the room and sees the painful truth to what Finn had just said.

Kurt and Mercedes are huddled together, trying not to look at the diva in fear that she would expect them to defend her. Admittedly, they no longer consider Rachel as the irritating enemy who kept on stealing their solos but they will be damned if they would go against the social hierarchy for her when they themselves are struggling with their own social status.

Mike and Tina look back at her sympathetically but did not say anything. Artie just goes back to the video game he is playing against Sam. Lauren looks bored.

When her eyes lands on Santana, the Latina scoffs and says, "Oh don't you look at me. While I would rather forget any time spent with Finnocence here it pains me to admit that the guy's got a point. No one really cares for you here, RuPaul, and if not for that voice and lungs you have we would have voted you off the club. You are adding so much loser points here!" Brittney who was seated beside the Latina just looks on with a sad expression.

Quinn who is standing by the door is unable to move and is looking at the brunette's expression the whole time. She sees the exact moment the sparkle in the diva's eyes is taken away by few words. What replaces the sparkle was a cold realization that seems to freeze in the brown orbs.

Then all of a sudden brunette grabs all her things then without any word storms out of the choir room bumping into Quinn. She is stunned with the look on Rachel's face. It is a look of defeat. Without even thinking much, she twirls around and leaves the room going to the direction where the diva went.
