Fraternizing With The Enemy

Chapter Nine

She walked back into school, a spring in her step and a smile on her face. Her lunch with Jesse had been just what she needed. Not even a slushie could bring her down - though she was prepared if that happened.

"Hey Berry," called a voice.
She slowed her step. "What do you want Santana?"

"I want to talk to you," she answered. "About St James."

Rachel inwardly froze and then slipped her show face in place.

"St James?" she asked.

"Drop the pretence Berry I followed you to your house," she said. "Relax ok I'm not the enemy."
"Neither is he and we don't even have a club anymore," retorted Rachel.

"Rachel I'm on your side," said Santana.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because you can't help who you fall in love with," answered Santana. "That's all I'm going to say on the matter."
"Can you not-"

"Your relationship is just that Berry it's yours," interrupted Santana. "I'll keep my trap shut. But we do have a meeting this afternoon. We want to prepare something for Mr Schue."
"I have ideas," said Rachel.

"I'm sure you do," answered Santana. "We practice a song called To Sir With Love at lunch, but couldn't find you. Since we have ten mins of free period left you want a run though?"

Rachel nodded.

"Rachel where you been?" asked Kurt.
"I got slushied had to go home," answered Rachel.

"Rachel Berry snuck of campus?" asked Quinn.

"I was having lunch with a friend off campus anyway I had a note from my dad's," she answered.

From the shadows of the auditorium that afternoon, Jesse watched the group rehearse and then sing for Mr Schue. They truly were a family. With that he slipped out and pulled out his phone.

"Grandma I need your help," he said.
