DISCLAIMER: FINN AND RACHEL WOULD BE BACK TOGETHER IF I OWNED GLEE!
They walked into school hand in hand. She had bleach blonde hair and ocean blue eyes… she was what every guy would want. So how did she get him? It was weird to think about it. As they walked hand in hand down the hall, they got so many double takes and stares, it was weird for Finn. The biggest stare he got, was from who he wanted to get it from…Rachel.
She watched as they came down the hall holding hands. She was beautiful… she looked like she was straight out of a magazine. Why was he with her? He was supposed to like her, to stare at her. Not that fake cheerleader- she stopped herself. She was a cheerleader. Is that what people saw when they looked at her? A fake Barbie? A girl with a good body and a pretty face. If it was… she didn't want it anymore. She wanted to be the girl that one guy would like… one special guy.
She didn't want to quit the cheerios, it kept her skinny and healthy. She was at the top of the food chain. She was the one everyone parted for when she walked down the hall, she just couldn't quit. But if getting her best friend back meant quitting… she would.
They were in first period now and Rachel was sitting beside Mercedes. "Look, at her. She's gorgeous. Not even someone like me or Quinn could compete with that."
"Are you kidding me? She may be gorgeous, but you have something she doesn't. A heart."
"Oh, is that why I pushed Finn away so many times? Is that why I don't have him right now?"
"You pushed him away because you were afraid of liking him."
Just then Finn walked in to sit beside Annabelle and she kissed him. The blood in Rachel's skin began to race. Her hands clenched into fists. She just felt like crying. She had never felt this in her life… jealousy. She didn't like him…she couldn't… OH NO! Class then started and went by in a breeze. The whole time she couldn't help but keep looking towards them. It hurt so much.
She couldn't wait for history, she would get to work with Finn one their project. Mrs. McGee didn't allow kids to switch partners, so he couldn't change partners. But of course, when they got to that class… Mrs. McGee told Annabelle, she could join their group. Ugh. Welcome to Rachel Berry's biggest nightmare. The whole class period they would talk, but never look towards her. She was researching. They were designing.
Finally lunch, she could get away from them. She walked into the lunch room and didn't feel like getting anything but a juice. She went to sit with Tina and Mercedes. Quinn gave her a look that could kill. She just needed to vent to them.
"Look at her, with her blonde hair and blue eyes. You guys… he supposed to be with me. To love me. To laugh with me. To sit with me. To stare at me."
"Someone's jealous." Tina was used to Rachel now, so she really didn't stutter.
"I am not jealous."
"Please, honey, you haven't stopped looking his way this entire time." Mercedes was a sweet girl, but she was honest.
"Okay, maybe I am jealous. You guys… I think I like Finn Hudson."
"NO!" Mercedes was being sarcastic.
"What should I do?"
"To start, you need to quit the cheerios, to show Finn your reputation isn't that important. That's step one."
"Tina… great idea."
They got up and walked out. The rest of the day went by in a breeze. When Rachel got to Cheerios practice she went straight to Coach Sylvester.
"Why aren't you in your uniform Berry?"
"I quit."
"Excuse me?"
"I quit. The Cheerios just isn't for me. It's not my passion. I say give captain to Quinn. She deserves it. Besides you don't want a girl who nearly killed herself on your team." She held her gauze covered arm up. "Thank you for the opportunity, but it just isn't for me." She walked away. She walked past Quinn.
"Whoa, Rachel, where are you going? We have practice."
"I quit."
"WHAT? WHY THE HELL WOULF YOU DO THAT?"
"It just wasn't my calling. I was sick of getting looked at the way I did. Like a piece of meat. Being a cheerleader isn't me. It's you. Congratulations, you're the new captain."
"Rachel Berry, you are the best girl we have. You are leaving us, we are screwed."
"Not my problem. If you guys can't win without me, then you aren't that good." She walked away. As she was walking down the hallway, she heard Mr. Shue in the choir room. Why would Mr. Shue be in the choir room? She went to check.
"Why are you in here?"
"Rachel! How are you?"
"I'm fine. Why are you in the choir room?"
"I was just thinking… what would you think about starting a glee club?"
"A what?"
"A high school glee club."
"That could be cool… I guess."
"I know. I just feel like the music department is going down the toilet."
"Okay? Well… what would you do to get in?"
"You have to audition and then go from there."
"Okay. Well I'm going to go now. I think you are on to something though. Mr. Shue, I'm not trying to sound weird, but my dad's aren't home and I need a place to stay after what happened a couple days ago. Do you think…?"
"Ummm… I don't see why not. Miss Pillsbury will be over tonight. Maybe you could talk to her if you needed. Sure."
They left the school. Rachel ran home to get some items and then headed to Mr. Shue's. Miss Pillsbury was already there.
"Hi Rachel. I understand you would like to talk to me."
"Mr. Shue said you would be here. But I don't want to interrupt anything."
"You aren't, why don't we go sit on the couch."
They walked into the living room.
"Rachel, what can I do for you?"
"Well, as you know, I recently cut myself pretty bad. I think it was because of my dad's dying, but I think it was because I didn't have anybody. I mean, usually I would have Finn, but we had a fight and we haven't talked since. I just want my friend back."
"Well, honestly, Finn is just going through a stage. I know he likes you. I see the way he looks at you. I don't know what to tell you other than that. If he really cares, though, he'll come back. He will realize he made a mistake with Annabelle."
"What if I am gone by then?"
"It's his loss. And if you really care… you won't walk away."
"Thanks, Miss Pillsbury." She stood up."
"Rachel, for the record, you have something that Annabelle doesn't have."
"What?"
"You have half the heart she ever will."
Rachel walked into the kitchen.

PREVIEW: "Finn. Do it. You would be so good."
"I don't know."
Then he heard the voice he had been longing to here behind him. "Finn. Do it. I know you can."
"Rach, will you do it with me?"
