Enjoy! xo

Rachel was eating her delicious breakfast that her father made her

(pancakes with homemade syrup) when she

got a text from one of her best friends, Kurt Hummel.

Kurt: "santana has been saying stuff about you on the McKinley forum again"

Santana was Rachel's sworn enemy ever since Rachel let slip about Santana's boobjob that she got in the summer.

Santana can be fierce, evil in fact! No body got in her way and when Rachel did,

everyone knew that a some point, Santana would crush her.

Rachel threw her phone down and let out a loud growl.

She didn't want to face Santana and the rest of the cheerios on her birthday. They would totally ruin it!

Hiram: "What's wrong, honey? Do you not like your breakfast?"

Rachel: "No, dad, it's fine - it's amazing. It's just... nothing. I'll be late for school if I don't leave now."

Rachel kissed her father on the cheek as she grabbed her bag

and rushed out the door, shouting "tell dad I said bye!" before slamming the door.

*New Text Message*

Kurt: "so what r u going 2 do about santana?"

Rachel: "what is there 2 do? i can't fight her.

i'm just going 2 get on with my day and not let her or any of her minions ruin my birthday"

Rachel arrived at school and she saw her best friends, Kurt and Quinn.
They've been best friends for as long as they can remember.

They've been there for each other for years and years.

Both Kurt and Quinn are gay. Kurt is very happy with his boyfriend Blaine Anderson and Quinn is happy with her girlfriend Brittany Pierce.

Rachel and Finn, Kurt and Blaine and Quinn and Brittany

go on triple dates sometimes at BreadStix,

then they go back to Rachel's house and use her dads' stage to sing karaoke songs till 1:00 AM.

Kurt&Quinn: "Happy birthday, Rachey!"

They both hugged Rachel and Quinn took her bag while Kurt locked arms with Rachel.

As Rachel was the baby of the group, Kurt and Quinn protected her as is she really was a baby.

She didn't complain though; knowing that she had two great friends

that truly cared about her made her feel warm inside.

Quinn: "Soo, what did you get for your birthday?"

Kurt: "Knowing Rach? Barbra Streisand CD"

Quinn and Kurt both laughed but soon stopped when they saw Rachel's frown.

Rachel: "That's the thing, I don't know what I got because my fathers are making me wait until after school."

Kurt: "Well, the way your face was just then kinda told us that you're hungry for presents"

Quinn: "Don't be stupid, Kurt. She's just excited and now she has to wait another 6 hours."

Quinn stood in front of them and Kurt frowned.

Quinn: "Wellllll..."

Rachel: "Well what?"

Quinn: "Finn has something for you"

Kurt rolled his eyes. He didn't like Finn. He saw him as just a stupid jock

who didn't care about Rachel or her dreams.

There's nothing that Finn could do to make Kurt like him

and accept him as Rachel's boyfriend.

Before Rachel could get excited, they walked past

Santana and some of the Cheerios. "Ignore them, Rachel. Just ignore them."

Santana: "Well, look who it is. It's bird beak and her two monkeys."

The Cheerios laughed at Santana's insult while she sat there in glory.

She had all the power ever since she became captain of the Cheerios.

Rachel: "Oh, don't you just love high school?"
