"Oh, that's great." Rachel lied. She thought maybe Finn liked her, or something. She would be furious if she had a boyfriend, and he would treat girls like that. "You two make a really nice couple." She faked a smile. Finn, Quinn... they simply didn't go together. Quinn was beautiful, but there was something, something Rachel didn't know, that made her weird next to Finn. Maybe it was that she wasn't a Cheerio? But Quinn had the body, the face, the hair... everything but the uniform. When she looked again at her... friends? they were sitting on the floor, waiting for Rachel to join.

"A... aren't you a Cheerio?" Rachel asked, still shy. She didn't know why. After all, they were the ones who agreed to hang out with Rachel, when nobody did.

"She was. She was the best Cheerio, right Q?" Puck smiled. Quinn smiled too. "But she quitted."

"Why? You are the perfect girl for the 'role'. Besides, Cheerios basically rule the school." Rachel has learnt a few things from Santana, who was a Cheerio.

"Yes. That's why. There is so much pressure and the coach presses you even more, it's really stressful. And trust me when I tell you every single Cheerio is a bitch. Mostly Santana Lopez."

"Tell me something I don't know" Rachel was glad that they seemed - or at least Quinn - to hate Santana like she did. And it was true. Santana was a bitch. She would have thought differently two hours ago, before discovering who her 'best friend' really was.

"You know her?" Puck asked half confused half excited.

"Sadly." she sighed as the bell rang.

"I guess it's time to go." Finn groaned while he stood up, never letting go Quinn's hand,

"Ugh. Literature." Puck complained. "We better arrive in time or Mr. Wright will lose it."


While in class, Rachel could barely focus. The girl sitting next to her was singing all class, and the book they were reading was so boring that she started to think about all that had happened to her today. Her life changed radically in two hours and that was the proof people can be very nice, and also very mean. That you never know what people hide. And you never know, maybe the person don't even wave in the corridor can turn into your best friend. The ring woke her up from her daydream. Was the class already over?

"Well, class, you can leave" Mr. Wright said. "Remember reading up to chapter 6 for Wednesday."

Rachel smiled. She was skipping classes on Wednesday. She thought that perhaps her new friends were changing her. But she felt like they were changing her in a good way. Well, she was going to a party and miss school, but she felt happy with them. She was glad that she had friends. As she left, she accidentally hit a boy, making them both fall and drop their books and papers.

"I'm so sorry."

"No problem." the boy smiled. After some seconds of staring at her face, he said: "Have I seen you before? Are you a singer or something?"

"Maybe you've seen me two years ago." Rachel felt flattered. "I've won the Lima Talent Champ..."

"Are you Rachel Berry?" he asked.

"Yea, actually." she laughed. "What's your name?"

"Kurt Hummel. Junior year. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Kurt." she said as she stood up and walked up to Quinn's locker, where she was taking out some books. And who appeared? Yes, Santana.

"Please tell me you're not Quinn's friend." Rachel didn't speak. "Rachel!"

"Yes, I am, so what? It's not like you care or something." Santana opened her mouth to reply, but Rachel kept on talking. "Besides, I can do wahtever the fuck I want. You're not my mom. You're not even my friend."

"I was considered your best friend four hours ago, and I screwed it up. Do you have something after school? So I can talk to you and explain you the whole situation?"

"F... fine." Rachel mumbled. "But only because I need to move on on you."

After Santana thanking her, Rachel kept on walking, but Quinn wasn't there anymore. She turned and the corridor was nearly empty. She could see a shadow coming faster and faster... it was Puck.

"Rachel!" Puck screamed in relief when he saw her. "Have you seen Quinn?"

"No, I was just... wait a minute." she said looking at the flowers he was holding. "You like her don't you?" and after seeing Puck's expression, she totally regret what she had just asked. "Puck. I'm sorry, I didn't have to..."

"No, I was just... will I make a fool of myself if I go and just tell her anything? Because believe me when I tell you I can't wait anymore."

"Quinn is happy with Finn, but you are more like her. I mean, I will ship you two more. But I think you should wait some more and do things slowly. Maybe try at the party? I don't know, but we should find another way to..." Rachel was interrupted by Puck's confusement

"We? Why we?"

"Because I like Finn."
