A/N: I don't own anything besides Amelia St. James and any other original character that includes Amelia's parents, aunt, uncle and her siblings beside Jesse.
Rachel and Jesse met in November, it was now the new year, everything was going well. I was now fifteen years old, winter was amazing, we visited our parents in Bali. Grandma St. James came by to visit when we got home. Aunt Vanessa and Uncle Daniel are finally meeting Rachel tonight. Jesse wanted to make sure everything is perfect, he's like a chicken with his head cut off right now. Rachel is supposed to come over in an hour. Aunt Vanessa was making dinner, Uncle Daniel was tidying up the house, Jesse was doing whatever right now. I was going to help Aunt Vanessa, mostly with handing her stuff and help to dish things out.
When Rachel arrived, Jesse rushed to the door so that nobody else would get to see her before he did. I heard their footsteps come closer to the kitchen, then I saw Rachel. She was holding Jesse's hand as he led her through our house. "Hey Rachel," I greeted her. "Hi Amelia," She replied. "Aunt Vanessa, this is Rachel," Jesse said with a smile on his face. "It is so nice to finally meet you, Jesse has not stopped talking about you since he saw you at Sectionals," Aunt Vanessa said while giving Rachel a hug, which Rachel gladly returned. Uncle Daniel entered the room shortly after that. "You must be Rachel, I'm Daniel, Jesse's uncle." He too also gave Rachel a hug.
Dinner was served shortly after, Aunt Vanessa had talked to Rachel's dads about some of Rachel's favorite foods that Aunt Vanessa could possibly make for her. Almost the entire meal was vegan-friendly, Rachel was surprised, to say the least. "You didn't have to go through all this trouble just for a meal," Rachel spoke. "It was no big deal, I enjoyed making it," Aunt Vanessa told her. I think Rachel felt loved, Aunt Vanessa and Uncle Daniel really liked Rachel, I think she was the only girl that Jesse has ever been with that they genuinely liked.
The rest of the evening went really well, Rachel just seemed to click with all us. She was perfect for Jesse, and I had a feeling that Jesse was perfect for her. After dinner and talking for an hour, Jesse took Rachel back to her house.
I was in my room when Jesse got back, he stayed in the kitchen talking to our aunt and uncle. I didn't know what he needed to talk about, so it must be fairly new. I took a shower, laid in bed and watched movies till I fell asleep. It was only Thursday night, and Friday after Jesse got home from his date with Rachel, he was in a bad mood, I wonder what happened. Hopefully nothing bad.
Monday Morning
Mondays were always the worst, I wasn't much of a morning person but I could at least get up. Jesse for some reason could wake up at the drop of a pin. I put on my cheerios uniform, grabbed my hairbrush and went downstairs. I sat at the breakfast bar while Aunt Vanessa pulled my hair up into a ponytail. "Jesse, you almost ready, we have to leave soon," Aunt Vanessa yelled to Jesse. "Yeah, almost," "Where are you guys going?" I asked. "We have something that needs to be done at Carmel this morning," She explained. "Daniel is bringing you to school today, I will be picking you up," "Okay," "All done sweetheart," "Thank you,"
Uncle Daniel and I left before Aunt Vanessa and Jesse did. Jesse still drove his car, but he and Aunt Vanessa were both needed at Carmel for whatever it was. I was kinda curious because usually when something needed to be done at Jesse's school, they do it after school because it was easier. When Uncle Daniel dropped me off at school, I received a text from Santana.
From Santana: Cheerios meeting in the gym before school starts, when you get to school come to the gym.
I went to my locker, grabbed what I needed and then headed to the gym. I saw Santana and Brittany sitting by each other. Brittany waved at me, and Santana gave me a smirk. I sat on the bleacher right behind them. "Shorty, what took you so long, we were waiting," Santana asked. "I had to ride with Uncle this morning, he takes longer to get here," I explained. Santana nodded. As the rest of the Cheerios arrived so did Coach Sue.
"Santana, what does your bracelet say?" Coach Sue asked. "WWMD," Santana stated. ""What would Madonna do?" Well, the answer to that is usually date a younger man. So let's see some arm candy, girls. Sorry freshman, you're gonna have to start trolling the middle schools. And you wanna know why, 'cause if you want to be as riveting a performer as Madonna, a skill that will nab us nationals this year, you're gonna have to start thinking like her, acting like her. Also, like Madonna, I will no longer acknowledge that any of you have last names. Becky Jackson from now on, you're just Becky. You know, it's like Madonna once said, 'I'm tough, I'm ambitious and I know what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.' I'm pretty sure she stole that line from one Sue Sylvester. No, really, she stole it from me. I said it first. Palladium '87." After that we were free to go, I went to my first-period class. Santana and Brittany went to the choir room, where they usually go before the bell rings. At lunch, the Cheerios had practice to run through a new cheer number, it was to Madonna's Ray Of Light. The routine was actually really cool. There were stilts involved as well the male cheerios. It was so much fun to go through the routine. I saw that Mr. Schue walked in halfway through our routine. When the routine was done, Sue yelled at us. "Sloppy freak show babies! Somewhere in the English Countryside in a stately manor home, Madonna is weeping! Hit the showers!" I walked with Santana and Brittany to our water bottles. I find it funny for some of the Cheerios the routines are really hard but for some, they are really easy. Coach Sue talked with Mr. Schue for a bit before he left. "You think this is hard? I'm passing a gallstone as we speak! That's hard" She yelled at us. We did the routine one more time before we actually got to get our lunch. Santana and Brittany went to the choir room with the disgusting 'shake' that Sue makes some of the Cheerios drink instead of eating anything. The rest of the school day was boring like usual. Aunt Vanessa picked me up after the last cheerios practice of the day. We headed home, had dinner, and chilled for the rest of the night.
The next morning, Uncle Daniel took me to school again. I was at Santana's locker with her and Brittany. "Oh, I look smoking hot," Santana said while looking at the mirror in her locker. "Guess who I'm dating," Brittany said. "Who?" Santana asked. "Wes Brody. He's super cute. He plays soccer with my sister. He's seven." Brittany stated. "Oh! Crap. I need a younger inferior man. If I don't find one, Coach Sylvester will kick me off the Cheerios for sure," Santana said. "Hello? Finn, his birthday's like three days before yours, and he's super dumb." "Brittany, if his birthday is three days before Santana's, he would be older than her," I explained to her. "Oh…" "Besides, we already tried with Finn, and he hates us," Santana stated. "Trust me, the way to get a man to follow you forever is to take his virginity. Madonna, like, wrote a song about it." "Hmm," Santana then walked over to Finn, they were talking, he looked a little uncomfortable. Soon after they both walked away from the conversation. "Finnocence still has feelings for manhands," Santana stated.
After that, school was boring. Tuesday was almost the exact same, except for one thing. Aunt Vanessa and Jesse were at my school. They were speaking to Principal Figgins. This cannot be good, not at all. I stood by his office door, talking to his secretary while I waited for them exit his office. When they did, I stood up and looked at them confused. "This was all Jesse's decision, I did nothing but help," Aunt Vanessa said. "Don't get me wrong, I like it at Carmel, but you're here and so is Rachel, and this makes things easier," Jesse explained. "Wait, so you're going school here now?" I asked. "Well, I start tomorrow but yes," After that Jesse got a tour of the school from another senior, then he asked me to find Rachel and tell her to go to library but to not tell her why.
When I found Rachel, she was at her locker grabbing a book for a class. "Hey Rae, somebody wants to talk to you in the library," I told her. "Who is it?" She asked. "I don't know, someone just asked to find you, so I did," I told her. "Oh..okay, see you later then," And with that, she was gone.
Cheerios practice was the same, we practiced the 'Ray Of Light' routine then we were dismissed. When I got home, Jesse wasn't there, probably won't be home till later. Vocal Adrenaline likes to make sure people get a proper goodbye and with it being Jesse, he's probably picking a replacement. He got home around dinner, and we ate as a family. Then I realized something, "Jesse, since you'll be going to my school now does that mean that you're driving me to school from now?" I asked. "Why wouldn't I? It's not like it would be out of my way," He stated. "What are you going to do about show choir?" Uncle Daniel asked. "Probably join New Directions, then talk to colleges see what it will take to keep my scholarships," Jesse explained. Jesse had always been mature when it came to school stuff, he was always on top of it. He knew that our parents would probably pay for college but he would rather get a scholarship to prove that he earned it.
After dinner, Jesse went up to his room, I helped Uncle Daniel with the dishes while Aunt Vanessa put away the leftovers. About an hour after dinner, I took shower, then Jesse took one. When he was done his shower, he walked into my room. "Are you gonna join the New Directions with me?" He asked. "I don't know probably not, why?" "It's my senior year, I wanna do at least one school thing with my little sister, and it will be fun." "I mean, I guess it would be fun," "Don't you have friends in glee anyway?" "I do," "You would get spend more time with them," "Fine, I'll join if you shut up Jess," "Deal," With that he left my room.
