Thank you so much for those who added me as favorite author, and favorite story, and read it at all… That was a surprise! I hope I won't disappoint you. Second, thanks to ashley1985, no1gleek and Twilight Gleek for the reviews! I'm so glad you liked it!
The first song was Not Like That, by Ashley Tisdale. If you guys have any suggestions about the songs, leave them at the reviews! Those are always appreciated!
I don't own Glee, or any of its characters. Just the plot. Here Tina doesn't have a stutter, Quinn is not pregnant, was or will be, and I'm not sure about the pairings yet. I actually like Quinn, but I need her to be a little bitchy for a while anyway.
Now that her former best friend had slushied her, Rachel didn't believe that the little ritual wasn't going to stop at all. Not that McKinley knew they used to be friends, but if one of the Unholy Trinity had done it, why should they stop? And seriously, Unholy Trinity? What kind of name is that? Like it wasn't enough to be the top three Cheerios, they had to have a name to make them even more special? She was so tired of high school, she couldn't wait to get out of Lima!
She walked through the halls, attending to her classes, the morning going pretty uneventful. She was about to head to the choir room to her usual lunch time when Kurt called her.
"Hey, Diva! Wait up!"
"Hello Kurt. How can I help you?" Rachel turned around to greet the boy. It's not that they weren't friends, they actually were. But she was kinda off scared with what might come from Kurt.
"Why don't you join us for lunch today?" Kurt asked. He actually liked Rachel, her weird and bad fashion sense aside.
"Uh, were you at the cafeteria yesterday?" Rachel asked. Cause she was, and she thought she would never want to go back there again.
"Yes, I was. Actually, it was weird. You should have seen Santana's reaction… Like she didn't want to do it at all… But then Puckerman grabbed her, and took her away before we could understand what that was…" Kurt started ranting and Rachel started to get scared about would happen if Kurt found out anything.
"Kurt, your point is?"
"Right, look, it will be just me, you, Chocolate Diva, Wheels and Goth Princess. Please Rachel? For us? You've been alone these last days, come sit with us." Kurt asked, trying to give Rachel some puppy eyes so she could say yes.
Rachel sighed. How could she say no to Kurt and those eyes? And she had to admit that she was feeling lonely. "Fine. But if something happens I'll blame you." She said giggling.
"Oh, c'mon! Blame Puckerman… He's always a safe bet to blame!"
"Stop it Kurt. Noah is nice when he wants to. He just… has to protect his image." Rachel started, walking with Kurt.
"Wow, Diva. Are you defending Mr. Puckerman? Do you like him?" Kurt started, smiling.
"What? No! Kurt, whatever you're thinking, stop it!" Rachel said, blushing.
"Yeah, yeah… Hello my fellow friends! Look who decided to join us today!" Kurt said, sitting at the Gleeks table, making Rachel sitting next to him.
"Hi Rachel! We're so sorry about yesterday." Tina said. Mercedes and Artie nodded.
"Thanks guys… I'm so done with this! Seriously, they think they can do everything they want…" Rachel started.
"And ruin our designer clothes with that stupid and ridiculous slushie tradition…" Kurt continued.
"And nobody says anything… We can't win. Never. We can't beat them." Mercedes finished.
"Oh, what are you guys talking about? You can beat them! At Glee. You're the ones that got the leads." Tina said, standing up. "At least you have that much. Enjoy that. Not all of us can." And then she left, leaving the other four watching her go.
"Oh my God. What was that?" Mercedes asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. I guess that we've been neglecting Tina…" Rachel said.
~At the Popular table ~
When Santana saw Rachel walking in the cafeteria, she was both happy and scared. Happy to see that Rachel was still the strong person she always was, and scared that Puck's message wasn't clear to everyone. However, the lunch time was calm, and nothing happened, except for Tina standing up and leaving the Gleeks alone. It was weird, but Santana had other things to care about. Like making sure that Rachel wasn't bullied.
What Santana didn't notice was that she was being watched too.
~Glee Club ~
"Hello guys. I hope that you've been taking this assignment seriously. So, who's up for the next heart-to-heart song?" Mr. Shue said.
Kurt put his arm up. "Mr. Shue, if I may?"
"Of course Kurt. Come here and tell us what you feel."
"So, I've been thinking and in the club there's always someone standing out, in or out of the choir room. Out in the hall we have the jocks and the Cheerios. In here we have the Divas, me included if I may say so. So, I decided to show that even if you think that we don't appreciate you, we do love you. Tina, this one is for you."
Tina was shocked, and Rachel reached out for her hand to show her that Kurt was speaking for them too.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
At this point, Kurt grabbed Tina's hand and pulled her to the floor so she could stand next to him. Tina was still holding Rachel's hand so she pulled her with her, and Rachel grabbed Mercedes' while standing up.
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
They all ended up laughing, and hugging Tina. "We love ya girl!" Mercedes shout.
"Well, I'm surprised, in a very very good way. Thank you so much Kurt. I have an appointment, s you can go guys."Mr. Shuester said, leaving the room. After him, all the members left.
Rachel stayed behind. She was hoping that Santana would stay too and maybe they could talk. But, it wasn't Santana that was waiting for her when she turned around to leave.
"Listen Man Hands. Whatever little friendship you thought you had with Santana, it's done now. She's a Cheerio, and you're… Well, nothing, actually. So I'm telling you to stay away from her." Quinn said.
"In case you haven't noticed yet, Quinn, I haven't said anything to Santana. She slushied me yesterday, because of you, and I didn't say a word. So leave me alone." Rachel started to walk to the door, but Quinn got in her way.
"Don't talk with me like that. I'm not done yet. I saw her watching you today at lunch, like she thinks she can protect you. Well, guess what! She can't. I'm still the head Cheerio and I'm still the Head Bitch In Charge here. Santana belongs to me now. So let her be." Quinn said, walking away.
Rachel stood there for a couple of minutes. She knew Quinn was right. The Cheerios were all popular, and the three top were the powerful ones. Brittany was too sweet and kind, and naïve to hurt anyone. She belonged to the top three because she was one of Quinn's best friend since pre-school and she was an amazing dancer. Santana wasn't mean, not if she was still the girl Rachel once knew. She could be scary and she walked around the halls with her head high, like she was better than anyone else, and people feared her. But Quinn? Quinn was the mean one. She used her family name to make her way to the top, and she was beautiful and perfect, and looked like an angel, and everyone did exactly what she told them to do. So Rachel just had one thing to do. Let Santana go.
Ok, so, was it good or what? Quinn's done, Kurt's done… Do you think you can guess who's gonna sing next? This song, was Firework, by Katy Perry.
