Fraternizing With The Enemy
Chapter Four
"That was incredible," gushed Rachel.
"One hot chocolate," said Jesse.
"Prepared with-"
"Soy milk," he answered.
"Thank you," she smiled.
"But your right that was pretty good and you totally let yourself go," he said.. "It just like it was me and you. Even other members of my team said you were the star in the group number."
"Did you leave space between our departures?" she asked.
"Not really," he answered.
"Friday is one of VA's off days right?" she asked.
He nodded. "We have a five am to seven am practice and other one at lunch. She'll step it up once Regionals get nearer it'll be every morning and every night. If we're not perfect she'll add in weekends."
"We really do need to step it up," she said. "We meet nearly every day after school but-"
"Just do your assignments," he said.
She nodded. "I think Mr Schue is trying to find something with each one but he never says I want to practices this for Regionals."
"So speak up," he said.
"I do sometimes but everyone is so sick of hearing my voice all of the time making suggestions," she said.
"So join me," he answered. "We'll be leads, we can see each other every day."
"Jesse your a good friend and I like you but I can't do that to my team," she said. "I know you don't understand why I wouldn't leave that hell hole but I am devoted to my team just like you are to yours."
"What if I transferred?" he asked.
"I can't and work ask you to do that," she said.
"Your not asking me," he said.
"Jesse a forth national championship win will look really good on your transcript and you know you won't get that with our team," she said. "Please for me stay with Vocal Adrenaline."
He nodded. "Fine but you'd better be cheering."
They sat in silence for a few minutes.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" he asked.
"A walk?" she asked. "Sure."
They walked in silence for sometime until they reached Summit Lake.
"Rachel," he said.
She turned her head from the scenery and he held out his hand. Hesitantly she slipped her hand in his.
"Rachel. I think I'm falling in love with you."
