Rachel arrived at the studio at eight forty five for the nine o clock meeting where they explained what would be happening. It was now ten thirty and she was fidgeting, there were still thirty minutes till they even went to get Quinn, at a McDonalds no less.
How Quinn had ended up working at a McDonalds baffled her. It just didn't seem right, sure there was some poetic justice to it but still it was just wrong that Quinn Fabray was working at McDonalds. The same Quinn Fabray who, after being picked up then having everything explained to her, Rachel would meet for the first time in five years.
The cameras would roll and the crowd would boo as Quinn came out because Rachel was the favorite here. Oh how the tables had turned Rachel laughed to herself.
Still she had at least two and a half hours till she had to do anything. Rachel looked around wishing for something to do but she was to nervous to write songs or even practice scales and with no script to memorize since she wasn't meeting with a director for her new role till next week, Rachel realized she really didn't have anything to do.
Sighing she looked around and spotted an intern who looked especially excited clutching something to her chest. Figuring it was a picture for her to autograph Rachel approached her but when she got closer she realized it was too thick to be just a picture.
Rachel figured she didn't have anything better to do so she finished her stride and asked the younger girl "what's that?"
The girl jumped slightly and momentarily looked star struck but Rachel was used to that so she let the younger girl compose herself " Um its uh this book called "The Top", it's my favorite!" the girl stammered
"Oh really sounds interesting what's it about?" Rachel questioned
"This girl who is um a kick boxer and well it's about her journey to the top and what happens when she reaches it" the girl answered with more ease than her previous response.
"Sounds good, who's it by?" Rachel asked, she really did think it sound like a good read. She loved to read but rarely ever had a chance to just read for pleasure. Right now though she had nothing better to do.
"Um" the girl hesitated "it's uh by um Quinn Fabray"
Rachel thought her jaw hit the floor at that moment. Did the girl just say Quinn Fabray as in the Quinn that was coming here in a couple hours? Wait Quinn wrote Rachel was confused and compelled.
She held her hand out not trusting her voice at the moment. The younger girl handed over her book and Rachel ran her thumb over the letters that were raised on the cover spelling out the name of her enemy from high school.
Rachel looked up at the girl looked like she was holding her breath "Can I read this?" Rachel asked
The young girl simply nodded her head and jumped as a stage hand called her over "yeah um just hand it to a stage hand when you are done and say it's for Arianna" the girl rushed out before running over to help out.
Rachel looked around and found a chair that she dragged to a corner, out of the way. She felt that walking back to her dressing room would take too much time. So she simple sat down their just off stage and started to read.
