It takes a minute to have a crush on someone,
An hour to like someone,
And a day to love someone -
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone

One-shot #4 - My Superhero
The first time Rachel Berry ever saw him was when she was seven years old and in first grade. It was her first day attending McKinley Elementary and she was nervous. She had recently transferred from a private school because her dads decided she needed to attend a public school. As she put on her pink winter jacket and her gold star backpack, she got into the car. When she arrived at the school, tears sprang to her eyes.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" Her daddy, Hiram, asked as he got down to his daughters level.
"What if they don't like me?" She replied in her over-dramatic ways.
"Of course they will like you! You are a star and everyone will want to get to know you." Her dad, Leroy, wiped the tears off the little girls face.
"What if they don't except my talent?" She sniffled.
"Then, that is their loss. You are extremely talented, princess. Sometimes people can't handle that." Hiram kissed her forehead and handed her a bottle of water. She drank some of it and her dads led her into the school. they kissed her goodbye when they made it to her classroom and she silently took her seat.
"Who dropped you off?" A short boy with a Mohawk asked her as she sat down next to him.
"My dads." She simply replied to the boy.
"You have two dads?" He looked at her a little funny.
"Yes." She said as she pulled out her gold star pen.
"That's weird. You're a freak." The boy looked at her disgusted and tears threatened to spill from her eyes. She quickly wiped her eyes and told herself that she was far more talented that this foolish boy and focused on her teacher. It was finally time for recess and she hesitantly made her way outside to the playground. Finding safety at a bench by the doors, she took a seat. She was minding her own business when a rather large first grader stood right in front of her.
"Move." He demanded. Tired of being picked on, she crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at the boy.
"No. I was here first." She fought back. She was caught completely off guard when the boy pushed her. She fell backwards and fell straight into a mud puddle. She looked up, with tears in her eyes, at the laughing boy.
"That was mean David." Rachel eyes widened as a small boy emerged from behind the boy known as David. She stared at him in awe. His hazel eyes looked perfect with the sun glistening off of them. His disheveled hair moved with the wind perfectly. He was very short compared to David and Rachel feared that he would get hurt.
"I don't care. She was in my seat!" David took a step near the smaller boy.
"You're not supposed to push girls." the small boy stated, not caring that the other boy was much taller than him.
"So?" The taller one threatened
"So, apologize."
"Make me." David raised his fist and Rachel quickly picked up some of the mud and threw it. It landed right on the side of his face and he lowered his fist immediately. He wiped the mud from is face and turned to glare at her.
"I'll get you back for that!" David yelled before stomping back to the playground. The small boy quickly came to her side and held out his hand for her. She gladly took it and tingles went through her hand when she grabbed his. He helped her up and then stood there awkwardly.
"Umm...Are you okay?" He shyly asked.
"Yeah." She replied.
"That was David Karofsky. He's a bully." Rachel just nodded her head at the boy. She held out her hand towards him and he took it.
"I'm Rachel Barbra Berry. Future Broadway star. Someday, I'm going to be really famous, like Barbra Streisand." She smiled a dazzling smile, but it was nothing compared to the crooked one he gave her.
"I'm Finn. Finn Hudson. Ummm...I don't know what I'm going to be."
"Well, Finn, it is very good to be prepared when it comes to your future," She let go of his hand, ready to go into a rant about choosing your career wisely, when she noticed the confused look on his face. "Sorry," She nervously laughed. "I tend to talk a lot."
"I can tell." He smiled.
"Finn? Thanks for saving me. You were so brave. I guess that makes you my hero..." She trailed off, suddenly becoming shy. He face lit up as she called him a hero.
"Really? I always wanted to be like a superhero. I mean, I guess, now I am! Except, I can't fly or shoot lasers out of my eyes." She giggled as he went on about different superheroes. He told her his favorite ones and what powers he wished he possessed. he spent the entire recess talking to her and for once in her life, she finally found a friend. The bell rang and he traveled back to his friends, promising to talk to her soon. He turned around one more time and waved to her. Her heart fluttered and she waved back. Maybe for once she could be happy. Maybe for once she wouldn't be so lonely. Maybe for once she realized that she didn't need to be a star.
Rachel Berry was madly in love with Finn Hudson.
