Hi Guys, so I've had this idea for a while, and I decided to do something with it.

The new school year had begun with a few surprises for the McKinley High Glee Clubbers. Least surprising of the lot was Quinn's apparent re-instatement to the Cheerio's and subsequent rise to power once again. Rachel sighed at what she deemed to be a step backwards for the girl. For Rachel she began the year much as she always did, full of confidence. Of course, the majority of her confidence was a facade hiding her fear of a slushy facial and the humiliation it would bring upon her.

This year was different though, she had decided, she was dating the star Quarterback, she was the Glee Club captain, the baby drama of last year was resolved and peace seemed to have finally come for the members of the New Directions.

Walking into school for most people was an easy task, and really how hard should walking into school be, but for Rachel Berry, it was a military operation, she had always planned these first days meticulously, doing everything in her power to avoid the puck-headed hockey jocks, the neanderthal football jocks and the stuck up Cheerio's.

This year she had mistakenly believed for a second she would be safe due to Finn, and his presence beside her, and of course she was wrong. Not five minutes after they'd arrived at her locker, had a grape slushy been thrown in her face. Her practised run through a waste of time as the slushy dripped from her face and down her clothes, the laughs and stares of other students piercing her, Finn's lop-sided smirk above her doing nothing to abate her anger. The typical greeting of the power hungry, narrowed minded people at this school

Things had seemed to go south from then with her and Finn. First it was his apparent lack of enthusiasm as she found her confidence in 'Britney' week. Never before had she felt so empowered walking the corridors of McKinley High, and yet it was her own boyfriend who seemed to be the one to break the confidence with his obviously hateful comments.

Then came the so-called 'Grilled Cheese-us', and she was appalled at his blatant lack of respect for her religion as he harped on about wanting to sing to Jesus.

She'd been glad when he finally dropped that subject, and finally things seemed to get interesting at McKinley, at least for her as Sam Evans entered their world. He was a bright, new, shiny play thing and much like every single guy in this school, he was completely and utterly infatuated with Quinn Fabray. Rachel would say to an almost stalker-ish extent as he followed her around like a lost puppy, hanging on her every word as if she were God itself.

I know its a small introduction, but when I get into the main body in the next chapter, we should get a bit longer.

Thanks,

Let me know what you think,
