Chapter 2- Sunshine.
Rachel had finally packed all her bags, she went on a shopping spree swearing to herself she wouldn't be the old knee-sock wearing Rachel Berry. But rather a cute talented Rachel Berry. She grabbed her carry on bag and plane ticket off her desk and looked her outfit over one more time. She had on a tight high waisted skirt with a white kinda low cut short sleeve with a black plaid shirt jacket and gladiator sandals. She put her hair in soft curls and put very simple but classic makeup and ran downstairs. She waited in the car as her dad's brought her suitcases down, she gave them each a hug and then got back in the cab. Her new life began today, she gave them a small wave and smiled.
"Ohio International Airport." She told the cab driver excitedly.
Rachel had woken up to hear the caption saying they would be landing in 10 minutes and to prepare for takeoff. She yawned and lead forward stretching a little bit, she fixed her hair and re-applied her lip gloss. When she walked out the airport with her bag carrier next to her she saw a man holding a sign with her name.
"I'm Rachel Berry." She said showing him her license.
"Right your father wanted me to make sure you got to school and these are for you." He said handing her a pair of mercedes keys, she looked at him confused and then realized her dad's must have giving her a car.
"A car, where is it?" She asked still not fulling believing it.
"It's at the school." The driver explained, he started putting her bags in the truck while she slid into the car's backseat. She flipped her phone on and saw she had two texts one from Ms. Adams and the other from Finn. She opened Finn's first,
Finn- You really left? She didn't bother responding he would figure it out when she didn't show up at Glee. She then opened the one from Ms. Adams and smiled to herself.
Ms. Adams- Rachel were are more than pleased you will be joining us and we can't wait for you to arrive. See you then. -Ms. Adams
The drive was about twenty minutes, and she saw a lush green area surrounded by tress and green grass. The sun was beaming out which rarely happened in Ohio, the campus was a grey stone three story with a smaller building beside it. There were students all around some dancing some sitting and talking and others singing. The car pulled up and everyone looked and stared she gently got out a flipped her hair back. She looked at the paper room 207. She had no idea where that was, she looked up only to bump into someone.
"Sorry." She said quietly.
"New huh?" A dark sexy voice asked. She looked up to see a guy with short brown hair green eyes, and a few freckles on his nose. He had guns that would probably make Puck jealous, she thought to herself.
"Is it that obvious?" She asked laughing.
"For one you are caring a map, you aren't in uniform, and I think I'd remember you." He said smiling at her. "I'm Brody."
"Rachel, and I'm lost." She said batting her newly massacred eyelashes.
"I'll be your tour guide." He said as the began walking to the small building once the reached the third floor he explained that the guys lived on the first and second floor and the girls lived on the third and fourth.
"What floor are you?" Rachel asked.
"Second, so we are almost neighbors." He said flashing her another smile. "Here we are, you are looking at last room on the floor, more privacy."
"Now that I know were my room is I should probably get my bags." She told him.
"And let you get lost again, I'll get me and a few of my friends to help." He said.
"That's really sweet, thanks." She said smiling, she could stop.
"It's nothing." He said nervously. Rachel walked into her room to see a empty bed a walls in the corner next to the window and her roommate on her bed listening to her ipod. Rachel slightly waved and the girl jumped up.
"You a dancer?" The girl asked.
"No I sing." Rachel replied.
"Oh thank god, I hate competing with dancers." She said. "I like being the best sounds weird I know but." She continued.
"No I get it, I'm Rachel." Rachel told her.
"Jackie." The girl responded. Rachel noticed on Jackie's wall pictures of her in New York and pictures of her on the stage. They heard a knock on the wall and Rachel went to answer it. She opened it to see four guys caring her bags into the room, and the all seemed out of breathe.
"Dude." One grunted.
"Yeah, what the hell Brody?" Another said putting one on her bed.
"Thank you." Rachel said as they all turned to her.
"She's hot." One whispered to Brody.
"This is Joel my roommate, and this is Jason and Jackson they are brothers and roommates." Brody explained.
"You must be really talented to transfer mid-year." Joel said turning what he called his charm on.
"I have to actually find the office." Rachel explained.
"I'll take you." They all said.
"Hmm let's all go." She said smiling. She told them she would be five seconds and to meet her in the hallway.
"Want to explain how you got four of the most popular guys in school to carry your bags to your room?" Her roommate asked laughing.
"Brody kinda afforded." She explained.
"Rach." Joel called which made her smile by the fact he was using a nickname.
"You want to go." Rachel asked Jackie.
"Four hot guys, I'm in." She said looping her arm through Rachel's.
"We are all in football." Joel said bragging.
"Nice." Rachel assured him. "So what got you guys accepted her?"
"Well he sings." Joel said mocking Brody.
"Really me too." Rachel said smiling, he smiled back at her. Joel looked embarrassed.
"We dance." The twins said smiling at Jackie.
"I sing, but mostly dance." Joel said cocky. All the guys looked confused when he said he sang, the twins shot Brody a look but Brody just shrugged.
"We are here." Jackie said.
"Great well wish me luck." Rachel said nervously Jackie behind her. When she walked inside Joel turned to Brody.
"I like her." He told him like he was claiming her.
"Why don't we see who she likes?" Brody said getting annoyed.
"Or I could just get her." He said rudely.
"You don't own her." Brody said getting mad, he didn't know why but this girl was different and he wasn't just going to give up.
"Yet." Joel replied while walking away, the twins followed. Brody got more mad as the words echoed through his head. Rachel walked into the office and went up the receptionist's desk.
"Hi, I'm Rachel Berry, today's my first day." She was shushed.
"Rachel Berry, here is your uniform must be worn when you are in class, here is your locker number and lock, and here is your schedule." She said handing her a small box with the Winston Prep logo on it.
"Thank you." She said taking the box. She walked out to see Brody sitting on the bench across from the office, she smiled realizing he had waited for her.
"Still think I'll get lost?" She said laughing.
"Well the tour isn't over." He told her. Jackie said she would see her in their room she had to unpack a little before school started in a few days.
"So what did you want to show me?" Rachel asked.
"A place I go to think, I never show people but I think you will appreciate it." He said smiling. They walked and he told her about her teachers like how her history spits so sit in the back and he would save her a spot. Her english teacher loved people who debate and argued with him. The walked to a large hill with a small garden and it had a swing attached to a big tree. It over looked the whole school and from it you could see the city and the ocean and it was completely silent.
"Oh my god, it's beautiful." Rachel said siting on the swing. He slowly began pushing her.
"You can come here, but please don't tell a lot of people." He said.
"I won't it could be our place, I mean a place we can share." She said added the last part so she would sound like a freak.
"I'd like that." He said leaning in.
"Hey guys, beautiful up here." They both turned to see Joel standing there.
"I was just saying that." Rachel said standing up.
"Want to get a coffee with me?" Joel asked her, she looked at him and then she looked at Brody.
"Actually I have to unpack, maybe some other time." She said looking at Brody.
Rachel walked back into her room and saw her roommate jump up and ran over to her. She told her that her cell kept going off and that she wanted details about what happened after she left.
"Hold on let me just check my messages." She told her, she grabbed her cell off her bed and saw she had three missed calls from Finn. She was about to put it down when it started to ring again.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Rachel." She heard Finn's voice.
"Yes Finn?" She asked annoyed.
"How could you do this to glee club?" He asked her.
"How could glee club treat me like that, I got to go." She said hanging up.
She spent the rest of the day unpacking her stuff as she and her roommate blasted the radio and they danced. She made her bed a dark purple bedspread and matching pillows and then unpacked all her new clothes and put them in her little closet and her shoes under her bed. She put up broadway pamphlets and pictures of her and her dads and then she find a picture of her and glee club after sectionals she put it on her nightstand.
"So you and Joel?" Her roommate asked raising her eyebrow.
"No but you and Jason or is Jackson." Rachel laughed.
"They are both good I can't decide." She said laughing.
"I just realized you all have J names, so either works." Rachel said laughing again.
"We do." She said turning the music up and laughing. The two girls began laughing and dancing. "This could be the start of a wonderful friendship." Jackie said laughing.
