By CollegeStar21.

Summary.

Rachel Berry has always been made fun of by people, making her feel small because she was shorter then most people at McKinley High and she's tired of people treating her like crap at school for the way she act like a diva or the clothes she wears.

The day day Finn leaves her at the tree lot after offically breaking up with her after cheating on him with Noah Puckerman. Some girl named Nia Conrad offers to take her home saying that she's very nice and they start up a friendship over Christmas and New Years Break.

Nia introduced her to her friends, a guy Vince Shane, another guy named Wilson Prescott, a girl named Emeri Baker,Nia's sister Maci Conrad,a girl named Everlie Conners and a girl named Janiella Greene! they become best friends and tell Rachel about this great Boarding School in Lima called Englewood Academy where they all go to and there is a zero tolerance for bullying, it's a public Boarding school so there isn't a need for uniforms and everybody is very nice.

Rachel thinks about it unsure but when one more insult and slushie facial happen before break starts? She begs her dads to pull her out of McKinley and put her in Englewood where she starts her new life with her new friends and joins the the Glee club there called The SmoothTones and they are really good and going up against New Directions and other show choirs at Nationals in New York since they already had their Regionals.

But what happens the blast from Rachel's past shows up at her school just begging her to come back to New Directions and McKinley? and what happens when Nia asked Rachel on a date after the group sees the way they flirt with each other?

Will Rachel admit her feelings for her new friend Nia unsure how she feels about being with her or will she just be best friends with her? Find out what happens and Rachel is bisexual in this story and this is a Rachel and Nia love story.

Faberrittania friendship later in the story, along with Vince,Wilson, Emeri, Maci, Everlie, Janiella friendship with Rachel and the side couples will be Brittana and Quinn/Maci/Roslyn side relationship hopefully.

I'm going to be showing Rachel being a mother to Imogen because she is a mother in this story and I will be focusing more on Rachel's and Nia's relationship but it's not always going to be about them but for the beginning of the story it will be so keep reading.

This story will be Season 2 and season 3 of Glee but in my way. Roslyn Berry will be coming into the story soon.

Enjoy.

Santana Lopez was now looking down crying softly. Rachel was done with her story and she could't stop thinking about all the means stuff she's done or the things she said to Rachel Berry. She was a coldhearted bitch that really thinks actions speak louder then words and she abused Rachel with both her actions and words. If she knew back then what was going on, she would have never done it but even that sounds wrong to think because it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Quinn Fabray was also crying softly. She felt sick to her stomach just thinking about the bullshit she's caused in Rachel's life. She was angry that Rachel was stealing Finn but she didn't mean for it to happen. It was like Rachel was wanting to feel loved by a guy that wasn't her dads. She fucked up big time and she doesn't deserve a friendship with the girl that has suffered alot more then herself. Sure she gave Beth to Shelby but it was like Rachel had no choice but to keep Imogen. She felt like the worst person in the world.

Brittany Pierce was crying aswell. She blames herself for not stopping the name calling, the slushie facials and the selfish crap that everybody even herself have done. She wanted to be Rachel's friend the moment she saw her in 10 grade but listened to the jocks and cheerios and stayed away from her and treated her like the outcast she was at McKinley High. She loved listening to her sing and sure she as annoying at times but didn't anybody the rest to treat her the way they all treated her.

"Don't blame yourselves please. nobody knew what was going on in my past! stop feeling bad for something that happened years ago." Rachel tells them.

"How can you say that? your still hurting Rae. Imogen's father is a dirtbag that had a sick mind to sexual abuse you that way." Vince said angrily. Liana wiped her tears and placed her hand on her boyfriend's arm trying to calm him down.

"Do you still have your spells or get the feeling of becoming mute again?" Everlie asked so worried and scared for her best friend.

Rachel shook her head really glad she doesn't. "When you do baby, please let one of us know and we will get you through it." Nia says caressing her hair and kissed her forehead not wanting to let her go. Rachel nods before pulling away.

"I need to be in my room for a few minutes then I'll come back out." Rachel lets go of Noah's hand and gets up walking into her room closing the door.

"Can we talk to her alone for a few minutes?" Santana, Quinn and Brittany asked hopefully.

"Didn't you just hear her say that she wants to be alone?" Emeri said wiping her tears. They gave them pleading looks.

"Fine but if she wants you to leave then you listen to her got it?" They all nodded and got up wiping their tears and walked to the room and knocked on the door.

In Rachel's Room.

Rachel was laying on her bed with tears falling down her face. She had to calm down before going back to the group. She was tired of being treated like shit to people because she comes off as overbearing, hyperactive, self-involved, egotistical, shrewd, a self-proclaimed diva but that's all an act to hide the lack of self-esteem she's feeling, the pain and bullying she's put up with for years she's been alive. Even as a kid she was picked on for wanting to be a Star on Broadway and for having a huge nose and wore the clothes that she wore everyday.

When her and her dads moved to Lima Ohio in the middle of her Freshman year, she stood out because she was the shortest of the other students. Sure she wasn't as skinny as most girls at McKinley but she was petite and slightly curvy but she was stil slim. She didn't have the biggest breast but she had them and they grew a few sizes after she gave birth to her daughter.

She worked out every morning and took dance class, did music and voice lessions, didn't drink or smoke. She just wished she could go to New York sooner but then she pause and think about maybe running into that man that broke her so badly.

There was knock on the door making her sigh and yelled come in thinking it was Nia. The door opens then closed and she turned her head to see Santana Lopez, Quinn Fabray and Brittany Pierce standing there nervously and awkwardly.

"Can we talk to you alone?" Santana asked hopefully. Rachel sits up on her bed and sniffled a little nodding. She wiped her tears from her face.

All three girls looked around her bedroom liking it then sat down on her bed carefully and stared at her. Santana spoke up first.

"People make huge mistakes and regret alot of things! I regret ever picking on you freshman year all the way up to now." Rachel just stared at them.

"I get that you wanted to be popular and you wanted to fit in high school but I did nothing but be nice to you girls and everybody at McKinley! I get that I'm not pretty like most girls at Mckinley but I don't need to be reminded that I'm ugly or that I have a big nose or that you hate my clothes." Santana nods looking down.

"We've hurt alot of people in our lives Rachel. I rubbed it in your face that I gave Beth to your birth mom when you hardly have any type of relationship with her. I I hurt you of all people the most because myself and think these two girls aswell, were and still are jealous of how you stood your ground and didn't let the comments the get to you."

Quinn said wiping her tears and looked at Rachel to see her shaking her head. Rachel scuffs staring at her.

"You really think everybody's comments didn't hurt me? guess again because every night I would cry myself to sleep and I would struggle on rather or not I should be even be living, it got that far that I wanted to kill myself but then I think about my daughter, Noah and my dads and I stop myself." Santana gasped hating herself.

"I'm so sorry for making you go through that, I'm a messed up person who needed to make other people worse, just to put a smile on my face! I started getting feelings for Brittany when I saw her with Artie and it just made me so angry that I took my anger out on you by making sure you had low self-esteem and I hate myself."

Santana tells her with tears in her eyes and Brittany looks over at her wishing she told her before. Rachel stared at her with tears in her eyes again.

"You all made me believe that I did have low self-esteem, I'm not a diva, it's all an act because every comment, slushie,stares,Criticism I get on my singing only makes me work harder and sing so I don't break down letting you see that you've all won on breaking me apart." She tells them wiping her tears.

"I never knew that, I just thought you were just a selfish-self-centered-lame-ass wannabe diva drom hell that only cared about getting solos and telling others what they were doing wrong with their singing." Rachel felt herself stiffen up again.

"You don't know me at then, none of the New Direction members know me to see that I'm not kind of fucked up person! I'm a girl who has two dads who are hardly around, a girl that who's mother doesn't want her but Quinn's baby, who cheated on her boyfriend with her best friend, who is bisexual and is tired and struggles! who just wants to have friends which I'm greatful to have now that I changed schools. I want to get through high school without anymore drama but I know that's never going to happen because drama follows you everywhere." Rachel said strongly.

"I can't take back anything I've said and done to you but I can make you see that I'm not going to be that same Santana Lopez anymore." She says.

"I'll show you myself that I'm willing to change and I also won't be the same Brittany that didn't stick up for you when you needed it. I don't blame you for quitting New Directions because we haven't been acting like a team." Brittany says sadly.

"Rachel I'm done asking you to rejoin New Directions anymore. You belong here with people that believe in you but I hope you can give us three a real chance at starting fresh and let us show you that we can be great friends to you. we actually think you, your girlfriend and your friends are really cool." Quinn tells her.

Rachel looked at them for a few seconds really thinking about it before wiping her tears and smiled slightly.

"Hi there I'm Rachel Barbra Berry but you can call me Rachel or Rach and I have a 4 year old daughter." Rachel said to all three girls and they all smile at her laughing and she chuckled.

"Nice to meet you Rachel, I'm Santana Laiann Lopez, I'm Lucy Quinn Fabray but you can call me Quinn and I'm Brittany Susan Pierce, do you want to be our friend?"

Rachel stares at them and smiled. "I guess we can take things slow at first and see where it goes from here." They all smile and get up with Rachel.

"Can we hug you?" Santana asked hopefully knowing that Rachel always said that when she was happy.

"Come here girls." They all laughed and hug each other liking the feeling then pull away and walk into Rachel's bathroom and wash their faces.

"Are you ready to go back out there and face the group?" Quinn asked her. Rachel nods and they walk out of room to talk with the group some more before the girls and Noah leave.
