A/N - Just so you guys know. I have only a few more days remaining with internet access. This may be my last update for a few month. I will try to update more if I can before then.

Chapter 3

True to her word, Rachel made fliers that night to post up around the school. While she was waiting for them to print off she curled up with Alex on the couch, "So, I think that went better than expected today."

Alex rose an eyebrow, "That freak out was better than expected? What the fuck did you expect?"

Rachel giggled, "Honestly, with how Finn tends to be I was expecting a fist fight." She shrugged and snuggled into Alex's arms. They laid their for a while, even after the printer finished up. Then Rachel's phone went off. She groaned and picked it up, "Hello?"

"Rach, its Finn. I was hoping we could talk. Maybe go get coffee. I'm really confused right now." Finn sounded desperate over the phone which just made Rachel roll her eyes.

"Talk about what exactly, Finn?" She came off harsher than she'd initially intended.

Upon hearing Finn's name Alex tensed, "What the fuck does he want?" She whispered to Rachel.

Finn continued, "Look… I know our break up was hard but… you know what I'd rather talk about this in person. Can I pick you up for coffee?"

Rachel sighed loudly, "Fine Finn. I will talk to you about this in person. Meet me at the Lima Bean in 45 minutes. See you." She hung up the phone.

Alex's eyes bugged out as Rachel said that, "What do you mean you'll meet him at the Lima Bean?"

Rachel rose an eyebrow at her girlfriend and had a coy smile on her face, "Jealous much?"

"Well, you're going to hang out with your ex boyfriend instead of cuddling or making out with me." Alex said quietly.

Rachel gave her girlfriend a kiss and whispered, "Baby, you know I love you. I'm going to go hash out everything with him so he understands that. I don't want any trouble in glee. Just want a good junior year, you know?"

Alex nodded and accepted that, "Fine, but you better come over to my place after you're done with that idiot." She then smiled and said, "I love you too by the way. I'll see you later gorgeous." After a quick kiss, Alex was out the door and on her bike.

Rachel was the first to arrive at the Lima Bean and quickly ordered herself a Mocha Frappuccino with regular milk. She'd given up on veganism after she'd concluded that cruelty to animals wasn't changing any faster than people's habits of cruelty to people.

As she sat there sipping her drink, she watched Finn walk in, order a drink, and then look for her. He seemed to miss her repetitively so she finally just rolled her eyes and rose her hand. He smiled and walked over, "Hey Rach"

She smiled politely, "Hello Finn. So what do you want to talk about?"

Finn fidgeted for a few seconds before looking up at her, "Well… look I know our break up was hard on you but why are you dating her?" he asked with confusion written on his face.

Rachel rose an eyebrow, "My relationship with Alex has nothing to do with our breakup. In fact, I'm quite glad it happened. I'm bisexual Finn. No one ever asked so I never mentioned it before. That being said, I am incredibly happy with her."

Finn looked even more confused following that statement, "Bisexual?"

"Yes Finn, it means that I like both men and women." She rolled her eyes openly, "Look we can be friends if you want, but I am not leaving Alex."

Finn's face changed from confused to slightly angry, "Look Rach, that bitch can't treat you well. You saw how she treated Mr. Schue. Hell, she's worse than Santana."

Rachel stood immediately, "If you can't accept my relationship with her and insist on calling her a 'bitch' then I will be taking my leave. You clearly need to grow up a bit because the only bitch here, is you." Then in a classic diva storm out Rachel left the Lima Bean.

The next day went by quickly and before Rachel knew it, it was time for glee again. She had put up posters and sign up sheets all over school, but no one signed up.

"First of all, we have an audition today." Mr. Schuester stated. Rachel rose an eyebrow at this statement. Mr Schuester continued, "Please welcome Sam Evans for his audition."

His audition was great and Rachel was very glad to see him there.

"Now, our lesson for the week will be 'expanding horizons'." Mr Schuester stated as he wrote it on the white board. "This means you will each be assigned a genre you don't normally sing. The new students will have to decide what that means for themselves."

He then started handing out slips of paper to each glee member with their assigned genre. Rachel's said 'Rock n Roll' and she couldn't help but giggle a bit. Alex leaned over, "What'd you get babe?" Rachel flashed her the paper and Alex also started to giggle.

Rachel smirked, "He has no idea what I've been doing all summer."

Mercedes noticed her smirk rather quickly, "What are you smirking about Berry?"

"Oh nothing." Rachel said as she schooled her features.

Mercedes rolled her eyes, "I doubt even you will be able to pull off whatever 'reverse genre' or whatever that Schue picked for you."

Kurt piped up, "I for one think this will be fun. Although, knowing you Rachel, your reverse genre will be Rock or alternative or something. So, no show tunes for you." He said with a smirk.

Rachel just smiled and kept her mouth shut. After glee finished and they left the room Rachel turned to Alex, "You know what you don't normally sing?"

Alex rose an eyebrow, "What's that?"

Rachel smirked, "Showtunes."

"Oh heellllllll no." Alex replied, "You are not getting me to sing that crap."

Rachel pouted, "But, baby, you never sing musicals or anything like that. Plllleeease."

Alex looked at her pouting girlfriend, wrapped an arm around her waist and huffed, "Fine, but only because I love you."

As they were walking to Alex's bike they both heard a voice behind them, "Hey Manhands!"

Rachel growled and turned around, "Yes Santana?"

"When the fuck did you stop dressing like a toddler?" Santana asked while eyeing both Rachel and Alex.

Rachel rolled her eyes, "Although I distaste the description of my old clothing, Alex and I updated my wardrobe this summer."

Santana smirked, "Well Alex, you are one impressive bitch if you can turn someone who dressed like a 5 year old and looked like a troll into a sexy sexy woman."

Alex immediately stepped forward, "Listen to me. You will stop insulting Rachel. You will also stop checking her out. Rachel might be willing to put up with your shit, but I'm not."

Rachel rose her hand quietly to signal she wanted to speak, "Actually, I have no intention of putting up with anyone's shit this year. You should hear the song I'm going to be singing." She winked at Santana, "I promise you that it is for you, Quinn, and most of the glee club. So, feel free to continue your delusions for a few more days. I'll be shattering them later." Then Rachel stalked off towards the bike, her girlfriend in tow.

Santana on the other hand was not happy. She pulled out her phone and texted Quinn 'Looks like you, me, and B need to have a talk about the troll. Something is seriously wrong with her.'

Quinn replied almost immediately, 'I agree. About time we put her in her place again.'

*NRB* *NRB* *NRB* *NRB* *NRB* *NRB* *NRB* *NRB* *NRB* *NRB* *NRB* *NRB*

Performance day came a lot quicker than it felt like it would. Rachel was, as always, ready to sing infront of the entire glee club, but this time… she had a very special song picked out.

"Before I begin, I'd like to say that this song is for almost everyone in the club." She smiled brightly, "I hope you all appreciate the message of the song."

Rachel started off the song looking around the room as the first verse began.

It's 8 A.M.

This hell I'm in

Seems I've crossed the line again

For being nothing more than who I am

So break my bones

And throw your stones

We all know that life ain't fair

But there is more of us

We're everywhere

As she said 'there is more of us' and 'we're everywhere' she pointed at herself.

[Pre-Chorus]

We don't have to take this

Back against the wall

We don't have to take this

We can end it all

She smirked as she began the chorus and began pointing around the room. There were a lot of offended faces in the room.

[Chorus]

All you'll ever be

Is a faded memory of a bully

Make another joke

While they hang another rope

So lonely

Push him to the dirt

'Til the words don't hurt

Can you hear me?

No ones gonna cry

On the very day you die

You're a bully

As she finished the song she had a bright smile on her face. The whole room, besides Alex who was clapping, was in shock. She turned to Mr Schuester and said, "By the way, I sing rock and roll a lot. I'm in a rock band. So… next time you decide to go with 'Genres we don't normally sing' please try and find out what that genre is."

Mr Schuester finally spoke up, "Rachel, may I please speak with you alone for a second." Rachel nodded. She'd been expecting this. He then turned to the other students, "We'll be back soon."

Rachel followed Mr Schuester to Ms Pillsbury's office. "Emma," He said addressing Ms Pillsbury, "Do you have time to have a quick conversation with me and Rachel."

"Oh… um… sure Will." Ms Pillsbury sputtered out, "What seems to be the problem?"

Rachel nodded, "Good question. What does seem to be the problem Mr Schue."

"Rachel, you just told the entire glee club they were bullies." Mr Schuester said with a disapproving look on his face.

"Would you disagree with that statement Mr Schue?" She asked, but before allowing him to respond, she continued, "Frankly, you were included in my assessment."

"Excuse me?" Mr Schue asked, looking offended.

"Why yes Mr Schue. I am pretty sure that if a teacher doesn't stop bullying then said teacher is helping enable and encourage it." Rachel stated matter-of-factly and then turned to Ms. Pillsbury, "Do you have a pamphlet to deal with, 'So you think your teacher and fellow students are bullies?"

Ms Pillsbury's eyes widened, "Um… no I don't think I do. Um… I"

As Ms Pillsbury tried to stutter through her attempt at dealing with the situation, Rachel turned to Mr Schue, "I'd suggest you and the rest of the club consider my point. Although, I won't be surprised if everyone decides something like 'Rachel deserves it' or 'It wasn't bullying, we were just being honest.' Or what ever else you people tell yourselves at night." Rachel took a deep breath, "Regardless, I'd like it known that I won't take it anymore. Have a good day."

With that Rachel left the room and the school. Officially deciding she wasn't going to return to glee for the day.
