The halls of McKinley were filled with lazy high school students. Rachel and Brittany walked into the school while talking about Brittany's cat, Lord Tubbington. Today was the day Rachel was going to audition for Glee club and Brittany couldn't be more excited. It took the blonde a while to convince Rachel it would be good for her, so, today was a pretty big day for the dancer.
Rachel went to Spanish and of course, spent the whole period talking to Quinn as they held hands under the table. The Cheerio couldn't stop smiling as Rachel rambled on about her favorite Broadway shows.
"I'm rambling again aren't I?" Rachel laughed, "I'm sorry,"
"No, it's cool, I don't mind," Quinn replied, the smile never leaving her face.
Rachel looked at the blonde and smiled as she continued talking.
During lunch, the Lopez twins were at the opposite ends of the cafeteria, both watching Rachel as she laughed with her other friends. After that night, Santana and Maria no longer spoke to each other, or rode together to school. They would barely even look each other if they pass each other in the hallways.
Rachel put her books into her locker and then proceeded to close it shut.
"Rachypoo" Brittany ran up to Rachel, her mouth filled with food.
Rachel laughed at her friend and wiped the corner of the blonde's mouth with her thumb, "oh Brittany,"
Brittany smiled and wrapped her arm over the shorter girl's shoulders, "so now I shall introduce you to le Glee club,"
The walked into the room and Rachel saw two rows of people sitting on red chairs. There were instruments at other side of the room and a grand piano sitting in the corner.
"Mr. Schue!"
"Ah, Brittany, we were wondering when you were going to show," the curly haired man spoke, arranging the music sheets on the piano.
"Mr. Schue, Rachel wants to be on the team, is that alright?"
"Well," he turned to Rachel, "do you sing, Rachel?"
The brunette smiled and nodded.
"Show us what you got," he clapped his hands together and took a seat on one of the chairs.
She turned to the piano and looked through the sheets, she grabbed 'Taking Chances' by Celine Dion, one of her favorites, and handed it to the bearded pianist in glasses. She turned back around and cleared her throat. She turned her head to look at the pianist and he nodded, playing the intro of the song.
Brittany smiled, watching her best friend sing her heart out. She swayed with the music.
Everyone was left speechless as the redheaded man played the last few notes of the song.
Kurt Hummel stood up clapping, "oh my god, Mr. Schue, I think we've found our nuclear weapon,"
Mr. Schue laughed and nodded, "yes, Rachel, you're, perfect," he got up and patted her shoulder, "welcome to Glee club,"
Brittany stood up and hugged Rachel, "yay!"
After Glee club, the word about Rachel getting into the club got around quick. As soon as Maria heard about this, she didn't waste any time and went to find her friend, Tina Cohen Chang. She knew Tina was in Glee club because she was there when Santana slushied the goth. She helped Tina get cleaned up after the incident and since then, they were friends.
"Tina! Wait up!" Maria ran up to Tina and placed her hand on the girl's shoulder, catching her breath.
"Hey, Maria," Tina had blue streaks in her hair.
"I just," Maria took a deep breath, "wanted to ask you about Glee club,"
Tina frowned, "why are you suddenly interested?"
"I just want to know," Maria stood up right and held her books to her chest,
"We sing, we dance, we hang out," Tina nodded and smiled at the thought of the friends she had made from being in Glee club.
"That's it?"
"Pretty much," Tina shrugged.
Maria nodded and thanked her friend before running off, leaving the goth standing in the middle of the hallway confused. The girl in the blue streaks turned on her heels and frowned as she walked away.
Santana strutted down the hallway in her Cheerios uniform, her Cheerios skirt swaying from side to side as she walked. She saw her sister running down the other hall and she stopped walking, eyebrows raised with curiosity. She needed to find out what was going on.
The next day, Santana found her seat in the music room. She grinned to herself as she waited for Rachel. Mr. Schuester was more than happy that one of the most popular students in school wanted to join Glee club. Even if Santana sang badly for him, he would probably still allow her to join the club. But Santana's singing was far from bad.
"This girl has pipes," Mr. Schue smiled, pointing at Santana.
He put his bag down on the piano and took out files filled with music sheets. Brittany walked in with Rachel and they both stopped in their tracks when they saw Santana on one of the red chairs. They both shared a look before shrugging it off and taking their seats. Rachel took a seat next to Santana and Brittany went to sit next to Sugar. Santana turned to look at Rachel and smiled. Rachel could see Santana smile at the corner of her eye. The Latina slowly reached out and took Rachel's hand gently. Rachel smiled softly and held Santana's hand on her lap.
Quinn Fabray was minding her own business, walking down the hall when she heard a similar laugh coming from the music room. She turned her head and looked through the little window on the door.
"Glee club," she mumbled under her breath,
And then she saw it. She saw Rachel, her Rachel, holding Santana Lopez's hand. Her cheerleading captain. She scrunched up her nose in disgust as she watched Santana lean in and say something in Rachel's ear. She cursed under her breath again, walking away, knowing that Santana Lopez was winning the fight.
After Glee club, Santana kissed Rachel's cheek and told her she'd see her later. Rachel just smiled and nodded. She stood at her locker, biting her lip as she was deep in thought. Brittany came up to her and made Rachel snap out of her daydreaming.
"What happened to you and Quinnie?" the blonde nudged Rachel's shoulder with her own,
Rachel laughed and shook her head, before she could answer, she saw that Brittany's attention went somewhere else. She looked at where the blonde was looking.
"Oh, my, God," Brittany whispered, taking her phone out,
"Who is that?" Rachel watched a tall red head strut down the hallway in a red plaid shirt with a leather jacket over it and with dark jeans to match the jacket.
Brittany stared at her screen as she kept typing. She was texting Sugar and Harmony about who she just saw. The singer laughed before asking Brittany again.
"That's-"
"Oh my God!"
Before Brittany could finish the sentence, Rachel turned when she heard the voice she recognized very well. She watched Quinn and the new girl running towards each other and hug.
"Margo!" Quinn's laughter made Rachel's heart flutter.
"Margo Pond, the eldest Fabray's girlfriend,"
Rachel raised her eyebrows, "the twins have a brother?" then she frowned and continued talking, "she's really pretty,"
"Wait til you hear the stories about her," Brittany nodded, grinning devilishly at her phone screen.
I really like reviews + PMs. I like talking to you guys. :)
