Wait, how the heck does Brittany know to spell "hypnotizing" much less even know how to write more than three words? First, she writes love letters to Rachel and second, she knows how to spell big words. There must be much more to Brittany than I or anybody knows. Well now my plan is kind of ruined… I don't want to out my best friend to the whole school. Wait, yes I do, she picked Rachel over ME! How could she do that to me? I put myself out there and told her I loved her and she didn't even say it back, and now I know why. Gosh I hate Rachel!
…0o0…
Before I could even rat Brittany out to the Glee club, Berry walked up to the front of the class and made an announcement.
" I have something to say Mr. Shuester." Rachel began. "The lovliest rippling hair falls down and caresses your beautiful hair with great care… Your beauty outshines even the most beautiful Cheerios. My love is strong for you even when you cant reciprocate these feelings."
Everybody looked at each other with a look of confusion written all over their faces. Even Brittany looked confused even though she's the one that wrote those words. Why does she have to be so dang stupid all the time?
"Now Finn, I appreciate your love for me and all these love letters and I accept them as an invitation to date you. So see you at Breadsticks tonight at eight." There was a look of shock on Finn's face as Rachel said this.
Ha, she's so naïve. She still thinks that Finn didn't sleep with me, and the fact that Finn didn't right those letters is going to be humiliating and heart- breaking for her.
Finn, probably not wanting to spoil Rachel's moment, played along with it. He flashed a forced smile at the beaming girl. She skipped over and sat right next to the confused boy.
"Listen up guys, we need a perfect duet for sectionals. I was thinking we could have Finn and Quinn sing it together. This will be a perfec-" Said Mr. Shue as Rachel interrupted.
"Why do you have to ruin my life Mr. Shue? Do you purposely want to through sectionals by giving my duet to Barbie and my boyfriend? I mean come on, your just wasting all my talent!"
"Rachel this is an opportunity for Glee to try something new. It isn't always going to be you singing all the main vocal parts. As a matter of fact I'm giving the solo to Santana for Sectionals." Mr. Shue said.
My jaw nearly dropped to the ground at hearing this. How did I get the solo? I know I hate Rachel and all, but I'm no fool, she's way more talented then I am.
"Wha- wha-what?" I stuttered. "Me," I pointed to myself," Santana Lopez, is singing a solo?"
"Yes Santana, you have a beautiful voice and now's the time to show it." Mr. Shue stated.
" You are trying to ruin my life!" Rachel said as she dramatically stormed out of the choir room.
" I'll get her." Quinn said, and added more when everybody gave her an odd look. "For the team, we'll never make it past Sectionals without her, we barely have enough members as it is."
She walked quickly past them and almost made it out the door before I said, " I'll go with you Q. You can't handle that Drama Queen all by yourself."
This was just an excuse to tell Rachel the truth, you have to feel bad for the girl, I mean why did she even think it Finn? So I walked out the door with Quinn by my side.
"Why are you even doing this?" Quinn asked. " You hate her even more than the rest of us."
I shrugged and replied, " It's a reason to get out of class."
We walked in silence looking all over the school for Berry. First we searched in the library, then Ms. Pilsbury's office, finally coming into the gym.
As we walked into the gym we heard soft sobbing coming from the opposite side of the curtain on the stage. We walked swiftly onto the stage and found Rachel there. Quinn walked right up to her and put a gentle hand on her shoulder. Berry's head jerked up at the touch. Her eyes were puffy and red even though she could only have been here for about five minutes.
"Ahem," I said awkwardly. " Listen up Man Han-" I stopped at the glare Q gave me. "Erm- Rachel, we know you really wanted the solos so you could practice for Broadway or whatever, but you can't have every solo. Then we would have to change our name to 'Rachel and the Pips.' So, you're not gonna quit Glee again, are you? Oh, and if you ever tell anybody I was being nice to you I'll deny it."
"Why didn't Finn come, you guys don't even like me." Rachel asked as she wiped away her tears.
"It was an excuse to-" I quieted when Quinn elbowed me in the ribs.
"That's not true Rachel, we love you, we just think you're a bit bossy." Quinn said.
I looked over at Quinn and gave her a funny look. When did we EVER love Rachel? I could list a million things I don't like about her, like: 1. nose, 2. bossy, 3. annoying, 4. self- centered, and 5. talks too much.
"What?" Quinn asked. " Deep down under all of that bullying, I know you have a kinder side. I mean, Rachel's not mean, she's just really, really competitive. She may be annoying but everybody in Glee loves her simply because she's one of us"
"Hey guys, I'm still here you know. You never answered my question." Rachel said.
"I'm not quite sure Finn knows what's going on right now. You ambushed him in front of the whole club, don't you think he was probably embarrassed with you reading his words that were only meant for you." I said, deciding I wouldn't tell her about Brittany. Finn can just dump her himself for all I care.
"How could he not know, I made it very clear that I wanted to date him. Those love letters were beautiful. I probably would have told anybody I would date them if they wrote something as beautiful as Finn's letters" Rachel said.
I decided to ask her a question that had been I my mind ever since Rachel first announced it was Finn.
" How'd you know it was Finn, Berry?" I asked.
"Well, all the signs added up. As you may know Finn's not the brightest person, so I assume he got his words for the letters off the Internet. And he always is looking at me during Spanish and Glee Club. And since he always disappears right before Glee ends I assume he has time to put the letter in my locker and then go to the bathroom or something to cover up his short absence." Rachel explained.
"Okay." I replied simply.
Quinn got up from where she was crouched and held a hand out for Berry to pull herslf up with. Thenshe turned and ubruptly walked out of the auditorium. Man Hands and I looked at her strangely as she swiftly made her way out the door.
"What the heck was that all about?" I asked.
"Who knows?"
" Well, good luck on your date with Finn."
"Santana?"
"Ya?"
"Sorry for what I said about you throwing the competition… I'm just angry that Mr. Shue doesn't seem to notice my talent." Rachel apologized.
" 'Kay. See ya later" I said and walked out.
