"Mr. Schuester." The name fell from my mouth along with another sob. Noah and my new friends all looked confused, but angry. I took a breath to explain the entire story.
"I had walked out of the classroom with Santana and Brittany, as you both know, and went to my locker." I said and continued when all three of them nodded. "I was putting away my stuff and grabbing my things for third period when I saw Kurt and Mercedes hand Mr. Schue a slushy. I thought nothing of it, thinking they were just apologizing to Mr. Schue for their behavior. He had a confused expression, but he just shook it off and walked towards me smiling. I grinned at him and was vaguely aware of Kurt and Mercedes walking close behind him. He didn't seem to notice. 'Hey Rachel, how are you doing?' was what he asked as he stood in front of me, slushy in hand. Then Kurt was "accidently" shoved into Mr. Schue by Mercedes. The slushy flew right on top of me." Noah groaned and Santana looked utterly pissed off if I am a good judge of that. Brittany looked confused, but mad as well.
"Wait," Noah said in an annoyed tone. "Where is Mr. Schue then? Didn't he help you?" His questions were both good in Brittany and Santana's opinions because they both nodded in agreement. (A/N: I have been saying Santana's name before Brittany's too much! Se I just did it again!) I grimaced at the memory.
"Well…"
Flashback
"Jesus Christ Rachel, I am so sorry! Oh God, do you need anything?" Before I could respond Mr. Schuester turned slightly only to see Mercedes and Kurt slinking away. "You two, stop! I am going to have a word with you. Meet me in Ms. Pillsbury's office. We will talk about punishments in a bit." He finished berating them and then turned to me. The entire time I had been standing there, I hadn't cried only stood, dazed.
"Rachel, do you need anything. I could drive you home, get your friends, get you out of a few classes?" Mr. Schuester said in a fatherly tone. A single tear ran down my face at the familiar, yet distant tone.
"Um, I…I didn't bring any extra clothes to school and a shower would be n-nice, but y-you need to take care of t-them, so I'll just wait in the g-girl's bathroom." As I talked, sobs started to lace my words.
"Are you positive?" Mr. Schuester asked, his voice concerned and loving. I nodded.
"I'm s-sure that N-Noah w-will find me." He nodded and headed over to Ms. Pillsbury's office, looking back at me only once.
End of Flashback
I finished the story and all three of my friends nodded in return. I heard Noah begin to talk to Brit and Santan, but by then I had started to cry again and could only feel Noah drawing small circles on my back.
Santana POV
Shit bags. Kurt and Mercedes are bigger losers then I thought. Rachel actually seems pretty cool. I know I call her man hands and stuff, but I only did that because I thought she could handle it. Plus I had to fallow the social hierarchy, but damn, I thought that she had friends in the original Gleeks. Turns out they are total asshats and need to be put in their place. Puck voice broke me out of my reverie.
"Okay, Santan, can you and Brit get Mike and Matt and tell Mr. Schue that I took Rachel home and we are all taking the day off? I have to get Rachel out of here before the period ends." His plan was good and I could tell he really cared for Rachel and not in an I-need-a-good-fuck kind of way.
I stood up, bringing Brit with me as Puck picked up Rachel, bridal style. I smirked at Puck as Rachel laid her heads against Puck's shoulder. He just rolled his eyes in return while grinning. I nodded to Puck as a goodbye, dragging Brittany down the hallway towards the auditorium.
Mike and Matt were both sitting on stage, looking really bored. "Hey, you guys, we're going to Rachel's house. We'll fill you in when we get there!" I yelled towards them as they looked on, completely confused and surprised to hear my voice. They jumped down from the stage and ran after us. "We've gotta make one stop before we leave." They again frowned in confusion, but nodded in understanding
When we got to Ms. Pillsbury's office, we saw Mr. Schue yelling at Mercedes and Kurt like he yelled at Ms. Sylvester when we had split up into teams. I cleared my throat to let our presence known.
Everyone in the room looked up in surprise. "Um, guys, we're kind of in the middle of something." He said his voice still rough from yelling.
"I can see that, but I have to tell you something." I said my eyes burning holes in the back of Kurt and Mercedes heads. "Puck wanted me to tell you that he is going to take Rachel home and we are all going to take the rest of the day off to hang out." When I said all, I physically gestured to Brittany, Matt, Mike, and I. "Because frankly, if I have to stay in school with these cowardice bitches, I'm not going to be able to hold back my kick ass fighting skills." I finished by smirking at Kurt who had turned around to see us.
"Santana, this is not the time to swear. I know you are mad and you have every right to be, but I can't overlook that completely." Mr. Schue said with frustration obvious in his voice and stance. "I will excuse you for the rest of the day. Have fun!" His voice quickly changed when he realized that Rachel had made more friends. We all said our thanks and left.
Noah's POV
I had gotten Rachel in the car and kissed her forehead before climbing into the driver's seat. I managed to calm her down since we had been in the bathroom, but she was still obviously upset. I drove to her house in silence, every once in awhile I would look over at Rachel only to see her looking out the window.
"Are you alright Rachel?" I asked when we were in her house, sitting on her couch comfortably. She nodded and laid her head on my lap.
"I don't understand why people choose to do terrible things to me. I'm a likeable person." She mumbled out. I chuckled.
"People do this because they wish they were as confident as you are. You are beyond amazing and you are one of the few people that are going to make it out of this town." I said to her in complete confidence. She looked up at me and really smiled, a full blown Rachel Berry, gold star smile.
"You are one of those people too you know? The people who are going to make it out of here." She said with a little knowing grin on her face. Before I could respond there was a loud knock on the door before Santana's voice was heard, loud and clear.
"Hey Puckerman, let us in! I'm not going to sit out here waiting all day while you and Berry have a hot and heavy make out session. Now is not the time to pucker up." I rolled my eyes at Rachel and she giggled in response.
I opened the door to see Santana smirking with her arms linked with Brittany's and Matt and Mike standing behind them, checking out Rachel's house.
"Cool down, Lopez, I'm here." She smiled at me cheekily as she moved passed me towards a smiling Rachel. She and Brittany both landed on either side of Rachel. All three of them began to talk quickly, laughing and smiling happily the entire time. I shook my head at Matt and Mike who were looking at Rachel's flat screen TV appreciatively. She had an assortment of video games and all kinds of game systems. I kind of got her addicted to video games one summer and she hasn't been the same ever since. She also had a wall of DVDs that was as tall as I was and had every genre known to man.
Rachel smirked at them. No one knew this, but Rachel is the one who taught him how to really smirk. Brittany clapped her hands together to get everyone's attention. "So, I'm thinking food, fill in Matt and Mike, DVDs, video games, and then make plans for this weekend. Sound good?" Everyone nodded happily and headed to the kitchen. They stocked up on a bunch of junk food, which Santana and Brittany hadn't had in forever as they said, and headed to the living room again.
"So, this is what happened…." Rachel started. I basically just stared at her lips the entire time to keep from getting angry again. At the end Matt and Mike shared my anger and were trying to comfort Rachel. She had shed a few tears since she started the story. When she calmed down we all started looking for a good movie to watch.
Will POV
When I got home with Emma, I found Puck, Rachel, Matt, Mike, Santana, and Brittany all asleep in the living room. Rachel was on the couch lying on Puck with his arms around her. Santana and Brittany were sharing a sleeping bag on the floor right next to the couch and Mike and Matt were next to the TV. They had no covers and were sprawled out. I chuckled along with Emma.
"Let's go make them some dinner for when they wake up. I don't know how they fell asleep this early! Well, they are definitely going to be hungry when they wake up!" Emma said cheerfully. I kissed her sweetly on the lips before pulling her into the kitchen.
