I'm very new at this, and I have to say this whole story telling business is quite hard. But I really wanted to do something out of my comfort zone so here I am trying it out. I think this first chapter is not that good, but I think it gets better, so please give it a try. Also, please review and give me some feedback. Hopefully, I can improve in the future. Thanks!

I just re read the entire first chapter and I totally suck. But, don't worry. I just revised the whole thing and without further ado, here is the new and improve first chapter. I will revise the other chapters as well. One at a time though.

Hate at First Sight

Chapter 1

"I'm telling you, Kurt, all my clothes are so last season," Rachel complained on the phone, while going through her closet.

"Wait, what about the black strapless dress you bought about a month ago? The one that you used for your dad's company party"? Kurt asked.

"I'm holding that right now." Rachel removed it from the hanger and examined it carefully. "The color is already faded and everyone will notice it. And there is no way I am wearing this faded dress," she whined.

"I'm sure everyone at school will make fun of me if I wear this, and they will start calling me the faded girl." Rachel ranted.

"OMG Rachel, calm down." Kurt said while laughing on the other line. "Let me just tell you this. I'm so glad I'm not in front of you right now. Because if I was I would have to slap you."

"What shall I do, Kurt?" Rachel said with a pout. "I only have four hours until Tina's party tonight! And I have nothing to wear!" This party was the biggest social event of the school year and everyone was expected to dress up.

"Nothing to wear!" Kurt exclaimed, while rolling his eyes. "What are you looking for exactly?" A dress that will make Finn's jaw drop?" Kurt said amusedly.

Rachel grinned upon hearing her crush's name. Finn was a senior and the most popular boy in school. She considered herself lucky because even though she was only a sophomore, she seemed to have captivated him. He hadn't officially actually asked her to be his girlfriend yet, but he had asked her to watch his basketball practices and they've gone to dinner and a movie.

"Of course, if he talks about our undeniable attraction to each other and asks me to be his girl friend tonight, I will not have second thoughts about saying yes." Rachel had always imagined herself dancing with Ricky in a sexy dress, while all the girls in school die of envy.

"What!" Why the sudden change? I thought you were going to play hard to get?" Kurt asked, almost screaming.

"Hmmm…Well there is really no point in playing hard to get when I'm just so mesmerized by him. And I heard that Santana has her eyes on him. And she's working extra hard to get Finn's attention."

"Where did you get that news?" Kurt asked, not really waiting for answer. "Anyway, you have totally nothing to worry about, your are so much prettier than her."

"Why thank you Kurt, I hope you're right because Santana is also pretty and has a sexy body, the one quality I completely lack. And I am so jealous of her boobs."

"What! Those ginourmous fake boobs? Trust me you have nothing to be jealous of," Kurt assured her.

Rachel laughed. She always appreciated how Kurt always knew the right thing to say whenever she was feeling insecure. She had never fallen in love, but she intends to. She really hoped that Finn could be her potential leading man.

"Whatever happens, I really need to find a dress by this afternoon," Rachel said full of determination, while throwing the faded black dress in the back of her closet, wanting for it to stay there forever.

"With your killer legs, I'm sure you will look stunning in whatever you choose to wear, Rachel. And will have no problem capturing Finn's attention."

Well, it was true - Rachel never had a problem getting attention from boys. Besides from having a pretty face and a fit body, from her daily training on the elliptical, she was also talented, smart and had an outgoing and friendly personality. At sixteen, she was well aware of her assets and planned to use it to her advantage.

"And for all you know, Rachel, maybe Finn is just waiting for you to ask him to be your boyfriend." Kurt teased.

"Well, why not?" Rachel pouted whilst sitting on her bed. "If that's the way for us to be officially together then he won't know what hit him."

"Well, I hope not" Kurt countered, then added, "I was just teasing you and you are too pretty and popular to be desperate for his attention. Don't cheapen yourself."

She sighed. Her friend did have a valid point. Anyway, she wasn't really sure if she could be aggressive like that. Rachel switched her attention to the clothes on her bed, thinking about possible solutions to her dress dilemma. There was really only one solution, and that was to go shopping for a new dress.

"I really need to go shopping, so I'll just see you at the party, Kurt." Rachel stated, ending their conversation

"Well good luck, I hope you find the right one. Kurt said sympathetically.


At sixteen, Rachel had her driver's license, but her dads did not want her driving while they were out of town. She could always take the bus to the mall, but if she did, she wouldn't have the time to get ready and probably be late for the party. As she stared at her dad's Lexus, and started thinking about all the reasons why her dads have strictly forbidden her to drive it. After pondering it for a while, Rachel decided to take a chance and took the car with her.

She tapped her finger on the black steering wheel, while singing loudly to Katy Perry's Firework. She was able to find and buy the dress she was looking for and she couldn't have been happier. Even though it took her a while to find it, she was sure that she would look great at the party.

As she glanced at the clock, she realized that she's been stuck in slow moving traffic and will probably be late if it stayed like this. It's already five 'o clock and she only had two more hours. She needed at least half-an hour to take a shower, another hour to do her hair and makeup, and fifteen minutes to get to the party. If she doesn't take another route, she won't have enough time to properly groom herself and look hot for the party.

She impatiently started changing lanes to get ahead, and finally reached the exit heading to her house. As she was getting closer to her neighborhood, it started raining, but she still continued singing along with the radio. After the song ended, Rachel switched her attention to the radio to look for a new song. As she looked up, she was surprised to see that she was about to hit the gutter and a stop sign. She immediately slammed on the break, the tires screeched causing Rachel to lost control of the wheel, leaving the car to collide to the stop sign post.

After the car came to a complete stop, Rachel checked herself first and made sure that she wasn't hurt, the seatbelt did a great job protecting her head from hitting any hard surface. When she lifted her head, she found herself face to face with a stop sign. Her heart was pounding, her knees felt like jelly from her nerves, she was as pale as a ghost. After compsing herself a little, she quickly unfastened the seatbelt and slowly got out of the car. She slowly approached the front of the car, with her heart pounding hard, threating to explode out of her chest. She closed her eyes for a second, afraid of seeing the damage. When she finally opened her eyes, her first sight was a much dented bumper, and a broken windshield.

"Oh, no!" Rachel screamed as her whole body lost it's color. "My life is over. Completely, totally over," Rachel said, talking to herself.

At that moment, she heard a sound of an approaching vehicle and she turned around right way, hoping to get some help. Her spirits were slightly lifted when she saw it was a tow truck coming her way. She started jumping in the rain while waving her hands. The tow truck was going a bit fast and wasn't able to stop right away. And to make the situation worst, the truck hit a puddle and splashed all the water to Rachel.

"Fuck!" Rachel screamed in total frustration. She felt so overwhelmed about the situation, that she just felt like crying, and she couldn't help but think that her bad luck was just beginning.


Quinn couldn't believe that she actually stopped when already she had four cars she needed to bring to the car shop. She had a feeling that it was going to be a long night, and now there was a person waving at her.

Quinn glanced at her side mirror while reversing the car. All four cars had different reasons for being towed. She wondered what could possibly be wrong with this one. She frowned when she started to recognize the waving girl in the rain.

"Rachel Berry," she murmured to herself, once she confirmed the identity of the girl.

"So what happened to McKinley High's princess?" the blonde asked herself.

Quinn knew Rachel. Why? Well, she was one of the most popular girls in school, student body president, and according to the recent rumor mill, Rachel managed to captivate the affection of a popular senior. From the moment she laid her eyes on the brunette, for some reason, she had always found Rachel to be very annoying.
