Chaos Of A Love Potion ch. 1

I'm posting this because I thought it was a good idea for a three shot and I had forgot to post it yesterday. Leggo!

Rachel's POV

It's just isn't fair. I don't understand how Finn could break up with me without prior warning than get back together with his ex-girlfriend the Head Cheerio Quinn Fabray three days later. How could he do that to me? Did he feel anything for me while we was dating? I know that we had something special and Finn couldn't just throw it away like it meant nothing. What does she have that I don't? I know that Quinn is popular and the Head Bitch In Charge but I'm Rachel Berry, Captain of the Glee Club and Future Broadway Star.

The cheerleader isn't helping by smirking smugly at me as they walk hand-in-hand down the hallways of McKinley like she owns the place, rubbing her relationship in my face every chance that she gets but it's uncalled for. I had to deal with the blonde Cheerio and the quarterback kissing and being all lovey-dovey with each other all day in school and watch him serenade her in Glee, making me want to cry but I refuse to in front of others.

For once in my life, I was Glee over and I didn't have to deal with the couple at all as I grab my backpack to head home for the day but I was stopped by someone linking their arm with mine. I looked to see that it's Kurt, giving a sympathetic look and I hated that he's looking at me like that because the last thing that I need right now is his sympathy and pity.

"Before you say anything, just hear me out"

"Fine. What is it, Kurt?" I sighed.

"I know what you're doing through because I been there and I get it. Believe me I do and that's why we're hanging out today. There's this retro antique shop downtown that I want to check out and I don't want to go by myself" Kurt said smiling.

"I don't know, Kurt" I said shaking my head.

"Oh come on Rachel, it could be fun and I'll even buy some vegan frozen yogurt for your troubles" Kurt said walking out of the entrance of the school.

"Do I have a choice in the matter?" Kurt shakes his head. "Fine, I will go since I know a decent frozen yogurt place that has vegan options as well as normal frozen yogurt"

"Excellent" Kurt said practically dragging me down the stair.

I just hope that I won't regret this later. There isn't a lot of popular stores and shops in downtown Lima, Ohio but there are some that are decent and selling some of the name brand clothing as Kurt looks through the racks of clothes. He has an impeccable sense of style and often critics me on my clothes because I like wearing argyle and animal sweater but it's not like I can wear normal clothing to school, only for them to get ruined by the corn syrup of a slushy facial that I receive on a daily basis.

We come to the shop that the fashionista to the shop that he wanted to check out and to be honest, it is rather small and kind of a hole in the hole but whatever. We walked inside the shop to see the dark red velvet walls with several black/white pictures on them, racks of clothes, a changing area off to the side of the store, and antiques and knickknacks all the shelves. I don't know how Kurt heard about this place but I guess that it can't be all that bad as I look through the clothes to see that they have a gypsy feel to them and some of them actually look quite fashionable if put together the right way. I looked to see that there's a young woman maybe three or four years older than me with long raven hair under a grey bandana, dressed like those fortunate tellers at cardinals that read your palms and tarot cards with the most piercing grey eyes that I have ever seen.

"Hi, my name's Keisha" Keisha said smiling warmly.

"Hello Keisha, I'm Rachel and this is my friend Kurt. We're just looking around" I said returning the smile."Do you owns this place?"

"Nice to meet you guys and no, I don't. this is my grandmother's shop, she used to be a fortunate teller and a potion maker back in the day. She's out right now but I could tell your fortunate if you want" Keisha offers.

"Ooo that sounds like fun" Kurt said putting his hands on his hips.

"I don't know" I said feeling a little skeptical.

"Oh come on Rachel, what's the harm in it?" Kurt asked nudging me with his shoulder.

"Fine but you're paying for this" I said crossing my arms.

"Okay, who's first?" Keisha asked clapping her hands together.

"She is" Kurt said pushing me forward.

I glare at Kurt as I follow Keisha into the back where a small table with a chair on either side of it with a crystal ball in the middle and shelves of different colored potions or what are supposed to be potions. The older girl sits in one chair as I sit in the other before lacing her fingers together, cracking them then shaking her hands as she hovers them over the crystal ball, looking intensely into it.

"I see that you have just gotten out of a relationship recently, am I correct?" Keisha asked curiously.

I nod.

"This person hopped into an relationship with another woman that you don't like. Correct?"

I nod.

"This woman is the bane of your existence?"

I nod once again, uncomfortably because this is getting a little too accurate for my liking.

"Do you want to get back together with this person?" Keisha asked raising an eyebrow.

"I do but I doubt that he's going to leave her even through she's not right for him" I said dishearteningly.

"Well I think that I have a way for you to win back your lover but you have to deal with the consequences that will come with it" Keisha said softening her expression.

"I'll do anything if we can be together" I said curious.

"Okay, hold on a second" Keisha said getting up. Keisha walks along the shelves of various potion before stopping in front of one and reaching to grab a small vial of pink liquid, setting it in front of me.

"This is a love potion. Just put two drops of it in your lover's drink and he'll instantly fall in love with the first person that he sees but I have to warn you that this stuff is pretty strong so be careful. You'll have three chances at this so make them count" Keisha explains.

"Does it actually work?" I asked unsure.

"Yeah, it's how my grandmother got her hooks into my grandfather" Keisha said giggling.

"Okay, thank you" I said smiling.

"That'll be twenty bucks" Keisha said holding out her hand.

"Right, here you go" I said placing a twenty dollar bill into her hand.

"Nice doing business with you and good luck that lover of yours" Keisha said stuffing her twenty into her cleavage.

I don't know if this potion will actually get Finn to fall in love with me but what's the harm in seeing what happens. The worst that could happen is nothing coming out of it. I placed the potion into my purse before walking out of the back to Kurt waiting for his turn with the fortune teller and I waited for him for five minutes as he comes out with a smile on his face.

"How did it go?" I asked curious.

"There's love in my future with someone that I least expect so we'll see what happens. What about you?"

"Oh you know, she predicted me being on Broadway with tons of adoring fans but I didn't need a fortune teller to tell met that" I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Well, I owe you some frozen yogurt for coming with me" Kurt said linking his arm with mine.

"On second thought, I'm kind of tired so I'm just gonna head home" I said yawning.

"Are you sure?" Kurt asked unsure.

"Yes, I am sure but I'm glad that I came and I'll see you tomorrow for school" I said waving him off.

"Okay, later Rachel" Kurt said heading the opposite different direction.

I walked home to find that my Dads had decided on going away for the week to a doctors conference in Columbus and I sigh myself because this is the second time this months that they left me home but I'm used to it. I make myself a quick snack before heading up to my room to get started on my homework and preparing myself for tomorrow because I'm putting my plan into action with the help of the love potion. I turn in early to get plenty of rest and before I knew it, it was morning and I quickly get ready skipping my usual morning routine as I drive myself to school. I walk to my locker to gather my books for the first half of my class and close it, only to have a baby Cheerio throw a slushy in my face.

"Courtesy of the Head Cheerio" the Cheerio said walking away.

I wipe the ice chips from my face before opening my locker once again to get my slushy kit as I make my way to the bathroom to change. I hate that I have to deal with this all the time and I don't know what I did to make anyone be so mean to me but I guess it is to be expected since I'm at the bottom of the social ladder but it's not fair.

I don't deserve this and I will make Quinn pay for doing this to me. I'll show her. She'll get what's coming to her. I wash my face as well as my hair before changing into a different outfit then walking out of the bathroom as the late bell rings and I rush to get to class on time but I was late by a few seconds, rewarded by a long winded lecture by the teachers. I looked around for a seat but the only one that was open was the middle seat in-between one Quinn Fabray and one Santana Lopez. Today just isn't my day. I sigh to myself as I mentally prepared myself for the verbal abuse at the hands of the Cheerios before seating down with my head held high.

"Q, who said that ManHands could sit next to us? I know that I didn't" Santana asked filing her nails.

"I didn't either, San. I don't want to get her tranny germs if she breaths on us" Quinn said giving me the side eye.

"I'm perfectly healthy thank you very much and I'm more than likely to catch something from the both of you if you breath on me so I appreciate it if you didn't breath or talk to me for the rest of class" I said taking notes.

"Oh RuPaul grew a pair" Santana sneered.

"I think someone's ego getting too big for their big head but it'll match her enormous nose of hers" Quinn said glaring at me.

"My head is the average size for a girl my age but at least there's something in-between my head than empty space" I said not looking up from my note-taking.

I don't know why I'm still talking with the both of them, knowing that this is going to come back to haunt me later but I just couldn't stop myself from firing back as one of them opens their mouths to say something but the teacher bring their attention back to the board. I can feel Quinn and Santana glaring at me but not saying anything and I nearly ran out of the classroom when the bell ring, avoiding the two Cheerios as much as possible.

As the day progressed, I'm covering in array of slushys and had to change my clothes at least twice before lunch, forcing me to hide in the auditorium in fear of more retaliation from either Quinn or Santana. Kurt text me to see where I was and if I was okay and I was touched that he was worried about me so I text him back saying that I was fine and wanted to practice alone in the auditorium.

I practically spent all of lunch in the auditorium when the bell rings and it was back to avoiding certain death at the hands of the Cheerio but I managed to avoid them for the rest of the day. Unfortunately my plan was pushed back for another day and I was disappointed that I didn't get to execute it as I walked to Lima Bean to grab some coffee on the way home but the storm clouds parted.

I walked through the door of the coffee shop to see Finn standing in line with his hands in his pockets, waiting for his turn to order as I trained my face to stay neutral before walking over towards me, tapping him on the shoulder. The quarterback turns around to see me and flash a goofy smile that makes my heart skip a beat.

"Oh hey Rachel" Finn said smiling.

"Hello Finn, how are you?" I asked curious.

"I'm good. Do you want anything? My treat" Finn offers.

"That's very kind of you but I will have to decline" I said shaking my head.

"Oh okay" Finn said turning to order two cups of coffee.

Does he really need that much coffee? Finn pays for the coffee before asking me to watch them so he could go the bathroom which I agreed to and I knew that this is my chance but I don't know which is his since I never had to get coffee for the both when we were dating. Which one do I chose? I guess that I just have to wing it and hope for the best.

I pulled the potion out of my purse, placing two drops in one of the coffee cup and placing the potion back into my purse before Finn came back but that's when she walked through the front door as the quarterback waves her down. Quinn frowns when she sees me standing next to her boyfriend but she temporarily forgets about me when he kisses her on the cheek before handing her the cup that I put the potion. Oh no, this is not good.

"What are you doing here, Berry?" Quinn asked taking a sip from her coffee.

"N-Nothing just talking to Finn" I said nervously.

"No worried babe, Rachel's cool" Finn said wrapping his arm around Quinn's shoulders.

Quinn snort as she takes another sip from her coffee but then her eyes darken for a moment as she brings a hand to her head like she has a headache and whimpers a little.

"Hey Quinn, are you okay?" Finn asked concerned.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine. I think that I'm just gonna go home" Quinn said walking away.

Finn asked if she wanted him to come with her but she waved him as she leaves the coffee shop and I quickly excused myself with the excuse of having a lot of homework because I'm freak out. Quinn drank the love potion that I put in her coffee thinking that it was Finn. Quinn Fabray drank my love potion coffee? This is bad. This is really bad. Wait, what am I worried about? Love potions don't actually work and even if it did, she was looking at me when she drank it. I'm fine. I'm in the clear. My plan to woo Finn can still work but I have to be more careful with it.

I went home, walking into the kitchen to grab a water bottle and poring two drops into it before shaking it a little as I decided to give it to Finn tomorrow and personally making sure that he drinks it. I can't afford anymore screw-ups and I nearly jumped out of my skin when something starts vibrating in my pocket to find out that it's just my phone, opening it to see that I received a text message from… Quinn? Why is Quinn texting me?

Quinn: Hey

Me: H-Hello Quinn, not that I'm not happy to hear from you but why are texting me? How did you even get my number?

Quinn: I got it from Finn. Is it weird that I wanted to talk to you? That I can't stop thinking about you.

Me: Um no, no it's weird but uh Quinn. Are you feeling okay? Do you feel any different?

Quinn: Not more than I usually do but when I laid down, you were on my mind the whole time.

Me: May you eat something that you didn't agree with you. Maybe you should take some medicine and get some rest.

Quinn: If I didn't know any better, I would that you didn't want talk to me. Don't you like talking to me, Rachel?

Me: Of course I like talking with you Quinn but I think it's in your best interest to get some rest. You might feel better.

Quinn: Fine, see you tomorrow love.

Did she? Did Quinn just me call love? What the hell is going on? She must be really sick. I hope that she feels better tomorrow. The next day I got up early because I knew that Finn has early morning football practice so I grabbed the water bottle before leaving the house and walked to school to the football team on the field. I quickly spotted the quarterback as I make my way towards him but was stopped the other person that I spent all of yesterday avoiding: Santana. She glares at me as I shrink away her as she takes the water bottle that I was carrying out of my hand and before I could stop her from the drinking the concoction, the Cheerio downs half of it then throws the rest in my face.

"Talk to me like you did yesterday, I swear that it'll be raining down slushy on your Treasure Trail ass" Santana said glaring at me.

"Santana!"

We both turned to see Quinn marching over towards us in a fast pace that she reached in 3 seconds flat with anger radiating off of her that I flinched involuntary of the HBIC as gets in-between the two, glaring Santana down.

"Back off, Santana" Quinn said glaring at her.

"What the hell, Quinn? Since when are defending ManHands?" Santana asked frowning.

"Don't call her that and you will NOT lay hand on her or else" Quinn said threateningly.

"Or else what?" Santana challenged.

"Or I'll kick your ass to the bottom of the pyramid" Quinn replies.

"Whatever" Santana said rolling her eyes.

Santana turns on her heel as she marches off towards the other Cheerios as I let go of the breath that I didn't know that I was holding as Quinn turns to face me. She looks at me sympathetically before taking me by the hand, leading me inside of the school to one of the bathroom as my heart drops to my stomach as I fear the worst because I have no idea what the Head Cheerio is going to do to me once inside. There's no one is going to expect her of killing in the bathroom and getting rid of my body.

Oh God, she's gonna kill me! I'm too young to die! I haven't become a successful Broadway star! Someone save me! I closed my eyes so I wouldn't see it whatever Quinn was going to do to kill me and I waited for felt like an eternity but nothing happened except for feeling something being patted against my cheek. I cracked open one eye to see the cheerleader patting my face gently with a napkin before opening both of my eyes as I look at her with confusion written all over my face.

"Q-Quinn?"

"Sorry about Santana, love. She can really be a bitch sometimes but she's not as bad as she seems" Quinn said smiling.

"Why? Why are you helping me?" I asked confused. "I thought that you hated me"

"What? Hate you? I could never hate you" Quinn said sighing."Look, I know that I haven't been the easiest person to be around but I can promise you that things are going to be different now. I'm different"

"What do you mean?" I asked frowning slightly.

"Well you'll just have to wait to find out" Quinn said winking at me.

Before I could ask what she meant by that, the bell rings as Quinn leans forward kissing me on the cheek as my cheeks turn a bright red. The HBIC giggles at my reaction before winking in my direction as she adds an extra sway to her hips as she leaves me alone in the bathroom with my thoughts. The love potion works and I'm in some much trouble…. Shit, Santana drank the potion too and now two-thirds of the Unholy Trinity is in love with me. This is so not happening.
