AN: Here's a short one today. I may never write this character again so I hope you enjoy.
Prompt: Lex Luthor - "A high school boyfriend isn't a husband; he's an obstacle." - 'Smallville'
Even as she walked away, I knew that I wasn't giving up on her. Maybe she was just a freshman, but their was something special about her. She was going to go far in this city, I could feel it, and that's the type of girl I wanted by my side. I didn't want someone just to hang on my arm, I wanted someone who could stand on their own. Who knew the pressures of the career I was pursuing and could share them with me.
As for the boyfriend, I wasn't to worried about that. It wasn't like they had actually gotten married. A high school boyfriend was a piece of her past that she would eventually come to realize was no longer who she was. It was a stumbling block that I planned on moving out of my way because the only part of him that was here was a memory.
Perhaps it wouldn't be tomorrow, but Rachel Berry was going to be my girlfriend because it was clear the two of us were meant to be.
