When Rachel Berry went to her 'New Directions' Guild practice, she had never felt better before.
She had recently led her team to victory during last week's sectionals (thought no one would admit it), She finally won the boy she had been pining over the past year, the strongest knight in the entire Lima Area, Finn Hudson, and she felt as though things couldn't get any better.
On her way, she heard someone call her name; It was Mercedes and Kurt, fellow Glee Guild (or, Glee for short) members. She walked over to them.
"Hey guys!" she said enthusiastically.
"Hey Rach, Looking good girl" said Mercedes, followed by a friendly hello from Kurt.
Rachel smiled at her friends and started telling them about her ideas for regionals.
"You see, if we were to combine my incredible vocals, with dance moves and great background vocals, I am certain we'll win the competition." She stated.
Mercedes and Kurt looked at each other with knowing glances.
"Um, Rachel, we want to have solos too, this isn't your club"
"Oh, I know, since Master Schue is trying to ruin my life, I'm almost certain I wont get the grand solo, and there by lose regionals."
"Excuse me? I'm pretty sure that—"
Splash. Green, Blue, Sticky.
"Ha-ha, welcome back losers!" called Karofsky, a Lima warrior, after him and two other knights threw green and blue, 'Slushies', as they like to call them, at each of their faces. They all just stood there and stared at each other.
The popular knights and warriors from Lima liked to tease and push around people like them. Despite the fact that none of them are poor; they're not very high on the social ladder. In fact, the only reason they get pushed around is because they aren't knights, or princesses, but Glee Guild members. After they won sectionals, they were all sure people would start to respect them and they wouldn't be called losers anymore.
They all looked down at their clothes.
Yeah, definitely still losers.
They hurried into one of the public restrooms in the area and cleaned up. Realizing they were late for practice, they ran up to the public Lima theatre, went up the stairs that led to the choir room and entered the room. In the room, master Schuster was talking to the rest of the members about plans for regionals. When hearing them enter, they apologized for being late, and he told them to take a seat and continued talking.
"Alright guys, Now that everyone's here we can start practice"
When Practice was over, Rachel was on her way out of the building while thinking over some ideas for their assignment. They had to perform songs with the word 'hello' in them, and Rachel was filled with ideas. But when she saw her boyfriend walking in the hallway, all of her ideas went to the back of her mind as she strode towards him confidently. When he noticed her he gave her a small smile and kissed her cheek.
"Hey Rach, um, what's up?"
"Oh everything is great, just thinking of ideas for our assignment. You know, I was thinking we could do a duet together, so that—"
Rachel kept going on and on about her ideas as her and Finn left the building, though he wasn't really listening. He had too much on his mind to concentrate on what she was saying. Ever since he discovered his ex-girlfriend, Princess Fabrey had lied to him, and told him she was pregnant with his child, when in truth she had cheated on him and gotten pregnant, he couldn't concentrate on anything. Even though him and Rachel were sort of together now, he was still deeply in love with the princess, and his relationship with Rachel felt kind of forced. Even though he kind of liked her, he knew he could never really be with Rachel until he got over Quinn, but he couldn't find the right moment to tell her, so he didn't. He just let her do the talking, and he would pretend to be listening. It worked pretty well so far, although he knew he would have to break up with her eventually.
"So, what do you think?" He was thinking so hard, he didn't even remember what she was talking about to begin with.
"Uh, yeah, that sounds like a great idea" He said. Thank god, he told himself, I think she believes I was listening.
"Great! See you there" She said, and walked through the path to her tower. Uh oh, he thought. That was going to be a problem.
Rachel entered her tower and went up to her room. She had to get ready; she was supposed to meet Finn in the public library in an hour.
Prince Jesse was on his way home from Vocal Adrenaline practice, his body aching everywhere. When the queen is in a bad mood, as she was this morning, she would give them brutal rehearsals. But he knew that at the end of the day it would all be worth it, because those rehearsals help him train for his future career as a star. When he arrived home, he realized he had nothing to do, and since he didn't have many friends to call to come and hang out with him, he did what he always did when he was bored.
He went to the public library in Lima.
Even though there was a library in Akron, there were various reasons why he decided to go to the one in Lima. First of all, there were much more musical books and CDs, and secondly, when Jesse came to sing in the Akron library, people were used to his talent since he would sing there all the time, But in the Lima library, the people were new to his talent, and therefore he was much more admired there than in Akron.
But he didn't realize until he got there, that this is the same library Rachel Berry comes to.
And so, that was the day Rachel Barbra Berry and Jesse St. James met for the first time.
There you have it, chapter 3! Yay, next chapter Jesse and Rachel meet for the first time in my world! Wonder whats going to happen...
