This chapter has a little Brittana in it. It reveals why Santana doesn't like Rachel.
A/N 1: We all know that Santana's a bitch but I think it's just a wall. She's really a caring person inside. She just wants to be loved.
A/N 2: Thanks for the comments. I thought I won't get even one. It pushed me to update it sooner. I have many ideas for this story so I'm having problems organizing it.
A/N 3: Sorry about the confusion on how Santana and Rachel are related. It's actually like this; Santana's mom and her uncle are actually cousins not brothers and sisters. Sorry for not explaining it further. Rachel's dad and the uncle are actually the ones who are brothers. So, Santana and Rachel are like second cousins. Something like that. Sorry again for the confusion.
Chapter Two.
Rachel has talked to some of her classmates to know more about Quinn. Of course, the stories are the same, Quinn Fabray, Captain of the Cheerios, Most popular girl in school, Female lead of the Glee club and every high school boy's fantasy. This got Rachel more confused and intrigued about the girl. Why is the most popular girl in school wasting time on her? She asked herself.
"Hi Rachel." Quinn said as she walks towards Rachel.
Rachel jumped a little."Is your hobby giving people heart attacks?"Rachel said putting her hand on her chest.
"A normal person's response would have been 'Hi Quinn'."Quinn said smiling at her.
"Are you saying I'm not normal?"Rachel said raising her eyebrows.
"No. That's not what I said-"
"What do you want? If you're going to ask me to join your little club again. My answer is still no."
"Actually, I wanted to tour you around school. That's the right thing to do with a new student right?"
"I've been here a week, Quinn. You don't have to waste your time on me. I'm pretty sure you can find a more productive use of your time."
Wow! She talks too much but she's kinda cute while rambling. What? What am I thinking? She shook her head. "Oh come on. Can I at least walk you to class?"
"No. Please Quinn just leave me alone. It will be best if we don't talk anymore. It will be a lot better for you."
"Are you a vampire?"
"What? I'm not a vampire. Where did you get that idea?"
"You sound like that guy on that vampire movie, the one where he sparkles on the sun."
Rachel just rolled her eyes and started walking through the hallway. Quinn started walking behind her.
Rachel turned and looked at Quinn."Quinn, stop following me."
"I'm not following you. I'm going to class. You're so full of yourself, Berry." Quinn smirked.
Rachel just walked faster to class not looking at Quinn.
How can I ignore her if she keeps following me like this? Rachel thought. Santana's not going to be happy with this. Why do I even care what Santana thinks?
It was lunch break and Rachel mostly finds a place where she can sit quietly alone but today that's going to change. She got her lunch and was about to look for a table when a blonde girl blocked her way.
"Rachel, do you want to sit with us?" Quinn said.
"No."
"Why not? I want to introduce you to Santana and Brittany."
Rachel was about to protest but she was already being pulled by Quinn. Rachel just followed her.
"Hey Quinn. Who's your new friend?"Brittany asked smiling.
"Britt, this is Rachel Berry."Rachel smiled at Brittany.
"Hi!" Brittany got up and surprised Rachel with a hug. "You smell like honey." Brittany said while playing with Rachel's hair. Quinn pulled Brittany gently.
"Britt, I think you're suffocating her."
"Sorry." Brittany smiled.
"Rachel, this is Brittany and that's Santana."Quinn said pointing at the Latina, who was looking not looking at them.
"I have to go. I've got better things to do." Santana got up and left.
"See you later, Rachel." Brittany said as she followed Santana.
After a few more days all of them have been hanging out more. Brittany and Quinn were always happy and laughing but Rachel and Santana was just sitting there, barely speaking. When Santana speaks, she always finds ways to insult Rachel. At home they try to avoid each other.
"I went to the park yesterday. I don't actually remember how I got there but I saw the ducks on the lake. There so cute. I love ducks."Brittany said smiling.
"We should go there sometimes. Right, Rachel?" Quinn said smiling at Rachel.
"Yeah. I think that will be an excellent idea. We need fresh air. " She answered.
"Yeah and maybe, Berry can fall on the lake and drown." Santana said.
Quinn just glared at her and Rachel sat silently.
On Thursday Quinn has successfully forced Rachel on joining Glee club.
Rachel opened her locker and saw a pink note inside.
Auditorium. 3: 30. – Q
This made Rachel smile. The blonde has been really friendly to her. She has heard stories about Quinn being a bitch but the blonde has never been like that to her. Rachel doesn't really have friends in her past school; she only had one really close friend.
At 3:25, Rachel was already in the Auditorium. She walked inside and went to the center of the stage.
"Quinn?" Rachel said looking at the empty room.
"Hi Rachel." Quinn said as she walks towards her."Can I ask you a favor?"
Rachel just nodded."Please sing for me."
"No, Quinn."Rachel finally realized what this was.
"Please. You love to sing, Rachel. We both know that. Just one song. For me? "Quinn was pleading with her beautiful hazel eyes. Rachel just nodded and Quinn smiled and sat in front of the auditorium.
Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck, the same to you.
But I can't regret
What I did for love, what I did for love.
Look my eyes are dry.
The gift was ours to borrow.
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't forget what I did for love,
What I did for love.
As Rachel was singing her song, Quinn was looking at her, really looking at her, memorizing every detail of her face and her body. She's memorizing in her mind how Rachel's chocolate brown eyes lit up with every word, her soft lips breathing every lyrics of the song, her hands showing every emotion in her body. This is when Quinn realized it. She has a crush on one, Rachel Berry. It was like when she first saw the brunette, singing in front of her car. Her heart was beating faster. She has never felt like this. At first she got scared but it didn't matter. Quinn was raised to believe on things but when her father died. She became open minded. She has been used to seeing Brittany and Santana. For her, love is not about sexuality. It is what two people are feeling for each other. She smiles at Rachel, her heart still beating fast.
Love
Love is never gone
As we travel one
Love's what we'll remember
Kiss today goodbye.
Rachel finished her song with tears in her eyes. Quinn was looking at her like she was the only person in the world. It makes her heart smile. No one has ever looked at her like that.
"That was amazing, Rachel." Quinn said clapping. She walked towards Rachel and held her hand. "I know you love to sing. Please consider my offer about the Glee club. I don't want you to waste your talent. You are too amazing not to be shared to the world."
Rachel smiled her 'Rachel Berry smile' "Okay."
"Okay? Really?" Quinn said smiling back at her.
"Yes."Quinn crushed her into a bear hug.
"Quinn, I can't breathe."
"Sorry."Quinn stepped back and smiled at her.
Friday.
Rachel and Quinn went inside the choir room together. Santana immediately saw them. The whole club was already there and waiting for Mr. Shue.
"What are you doing here, Midget?" Santana said looking at Rachel.
"Her name is Rachel, Santana. Stop calling her that!"
"It's not my fault that she's so small, Q."
"I've had enough of you being a bitch!" Quinn got up and was about to attack Santana but Rachel held her arms."You have been bashing on Rachel from the beginning. What's your problem? She has not done anything to you?"
"You don't know her!" Santana got up and went outside the room and Brittany followed her.
Cheerios locker room.
"What's wrong San?" Brittany said pouting.
"Nothing."Santana sat on the bench and rested her head on the wall.
"Is this about Rachel? She seems like a nice person, why do you hate her?"
"You don't know her Britt."Santana said.
"And you do?" Brittany said a little confused now.
Santana was about to lie but she can't lie to her."Brittany, she's my cousin. I know her."
"That's great. We should hang out with her more."
"No, Britt. She's a loser. I don't want to hang out with her."
"Is that really the reason?"Brittany looked into Santana's eyes. Santana was now lost, she always feel that way when Brittany looks at her like that.
"It's just, she comes into our home and of course my mom accepts her, she's family. My mom loves her. She's everything that my mom wants for a daughter. "Brittany put her arms around Santana.
"You know that's not Rachel's fault right? You should not put it all on her and have you seen Quinn? She's happy. I've never seen her this happy before and I think Rachel's the one who is making her happy. You should apologize to them."
Santana just looked at Brittany. She can never say no to Brittany.
They met Quinn and Rachel on the parking lot.
"Santana wants to say something." Brittany said smiling at the two.
Santana has her hand inside the pocket of her jacket and swaying a little bit. She was not really good at kind of things.
"I'll stop calling you Midget." Santana said looking down on the floor.
Quinn knows that is the closest they will get to an apology. Quinn smiled at her.
"Or Stubbles, Manhands, RuPaul." Quinn said.
"I get it. I will not call her names anymore, just Berry."
Quinn smiled."I'm sorry I almost attacked you. Sometimes you're just a big bitch. I'm used to it but sometimes it's just too mean." Santana just huffed.
"So you and Rachel are cousins. Why didn't you say anything?"
The Latina just looked at Quinn then Rachel. "It's nothing, Quinn. Let's just forget this all happened." Rachel said speaking for the Latina.
"Yey! Now that we are all okay."Brittany said clapping her hands." Group hug!" Brittany put all of them in an awkward hug.
"Okay. That's enough love on one day." Santana said pulling away from the hug.
They spent more time together. Glee club has been fun. They enjoy singing and dancing together. During weekends, the four of them go to the mall and hang out. They helped Rachel on changing her fashion style. Santana has been happy with this. She was always tempted to go to Rachel's closet and burn all of her argyle sweaters. Sometime Rachel watches the three during their Cheerios practice and after they go to Santana's house to hang out.
A/N 4: I think this is short. I hope I can update soon. More of the other Glee kids on the next chapter. Please review. It will help a lot. Thanks for reading.
