Hey everyone,
So here is my first Glee fic. I also have Charmed ones so for anyone who likes that show, you can check them out on my profile.
But anyway, back to glee. I have been wanting to write one of these for a while because I loooovvvee glee 3 but I haven't really got around to it until now. This episode has spoilers all the way until 'A Very Glee Christmas' so anyone who hasn't seen thall the episodes might get confused. This story is going to have all the information from the episodes but then it will be completly made up. So when glee comes back (can't wait!) things WILL be different then they are in this story.
Also I don't own any of the glee caracters besides the ones that I make up.
I'm going to have some questions at the end of this chapter becuase I want to know what you guys want to see in this story. So please REVIEW!
ENJOY!
New Kid
Rachel confidently walks the halls of McKinley high mentally preparing herself for a slushie facial. Although her outer appearance makes her look as happy and confident as ever, inside she's more upset then she has ever been in her entire life. Even more upset then when the video store was sold out of the premium version of the "Funny Girl" musical and she had to wait a whole month for them to get another shipment. Her whole Christmas vacation involved a lot of crying, therapy sessions, and of course, musicals. The reason for this was that her life is now a black whole of sadness. Well, that might just be her being a bit dramatic but it may as well be because Finn broke up with her.
She spent all her time before Christmas trying to get him back but she finally gave up on trying. She came to the conclusion that she wants it too much, she wants everything too much.
She makes it to her locker, slushie free thank god, and she scans the hallways like she always does in the morning. She enjoys looking at what everyone is doing and how the high school functions. She usually tries to find the glee kids because although they are at the bottom of the social latter, they do have the most interesting lives. The rest of the kids in school just seem normal, besides the obvious weirdos like Jacob Ben-Israel.
Her eyes find Mercedes talking to Tina and Mike by their lockers, like usual, although Mike only started talking with them when he started dating Tina. Rachel would often try to join in the conversation but they were too far away for her to hear what they're saying.
She spots Quinn and Sam flirting with each other and watches in envy. Quinn is leaning against the lockers and Sam is leaning over her, sometimes bending down to give her a quick kiss while Quinn would start giggling. She misses that with Finn so much it hurts so she looks away. Sure, she's happy for them, she doesn't know Sam too well but he seems like a nice guy and him being with Quinn means that she stays away from Finn. Not that Finn would ever get back with Quinn after everything she did, would he?
Shaking her thoughts away, she looks to the left where Santana, Puck, Brittany, and Artie are talking. Brittany is sitting on Artie's lap while Puck has his arm around Santana. Rachel knows that Artie is only being tolerated because he's dating Brittany and seems to have formed a friendship with Puck. Puck sees her and gives her an "how you doing Berry" look. Anyone else would think it's Puck being seductive but Rachel knows better, she sees the genuine concern in his brown eyes. Rachel guesses that Santana takes it the wrong way because she slaps Puck on the shoulder and sends a glare her way. Rachel can't deal with Santana right now so she turns away.
That's when she sees Finn. He's getting books from his locker. Rachel watches as he drops one on the floor and bends down to pick it up. As he grabs it and stands up, he notices her. His eyes are sad but he gives her a small smile and Rachel looks away as she feels tears in her eyes. She grabs the books from her locker and heads off to class in a fast walk.
She isn't paying any attention to where she is going until she finds herself on the ground, her books scattered around her. Some people around her start laughing which makes her wonder which Jock pushed her down until she looks up and sees regret in a new face.
"Oh god, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there," he bends down and picked up her books before holding out his hand for her to take. She takes it and gets up, taking the boy in full view.
He's short, well not that short. He's quite a bit taller then her but short compared to Finn. His hair is a dark brown and it falls nicely over his forehead. It looks like it hasn't fully dried from what she can only guess was his morning shower so it falls slightly over his eyes which are a deep blue.
She realizes that she must look like an idiot so she speaks.
"That's alright, I wasn't paying attention either. I do appreciate you picking up my books instead of just pointing and laughing, it was very chivalrous of you.
He smiles, showing off his pearly white teeth, "thanks although I don't see why people would point and laugh at the person they rudely bumped into." He must be new. "I'm new here, my name's Kyle Witmen."
Kyle Witmen, she ponders the name and looks back up, she didn't notice the Jewish nose until now, "It's a pleasure to meet you Kyle. My name's Rachel Berry, welcome to McKinley High."
"Thanks, um, here are your books back," he hands them to her and she smiles. She turns to leave but he taps her on the shoulder and she turns around. "Um, sorry, but I don't really know where everything is and everyone else seems busy and I was wondering if you could tell me where the Spanish room is?"
He smiles nervously at her, "Oh, you have Spanish next! I do as well. Mr. Shuester is a great teacher, we can walk there together." She grabs his arm but stops herself. Don't just grab him! What if he doesn't want to walk with you? He was just asking a simple question. She let's go of his arm. "I mean uh if you want."
He laughs, he doesn't call her a freak or run away, he laughs. "No it's okay, I'll probably get lost anyway if someone doesn't help me." So they walk together.
They are about halfway to the Spanish room when Karofsky walks toward them holding a slushie. Rachel closes her eyes and mouth ready to take the hit but she doesn't get one. She opens her eyes to see Kyle covered in red slushie, his mouth open in shock.
"When you hang out with a loser, you become one." Karofsky jokes as he high fives Azimio and they walk off. Rachel grabs Kyle's arm, picks up his books that he dropped out of surprise, and brings him to the girls bathroom.
She helps him rinse out his hair and face so that the corn syrup doesn't have that much time to sting his eyes. Kyle doesn't talk the whole time and Rachel get's worried when he keeps on looking around frantically.
"What are you looking for?" she asks him as she rinses his hair.
"It's just um…We're in the girls bathroom. Am I even aloud in here?" He asks nervously.
"Don't worry about it," Rachel laughs, "Noah has been in here before and Kurt practically lived here."
"Who are they?"
"Well Kurt used to go here but now he goes to Dalton Academy because Karofsky-the guy who slushied you-was harassing him too much. And Noah's…" Rachel thinks of a way to describe the Mohawk boy, "Noah used to slushie me but he stopped."
"And so this," he gestures to his face, "Is called being 'slushied'?"
Rachel nods, "for lack of a better term, yes."
Rachel waits for the boys response and she get's the one she was least expecting, Kyle begins to laugh. What can be funny about this situation?
"What's so funny?"
"I'm sorry," he clears his throat but is still laughing, "I'm sorry it's just," his laughter cuts him off, "I mean someone going around throwing slushies in peoples faces? What kind of torment is that? I mean sure it hurts but where did people come up with that. I've seen many types of bullying but never have a seen someone get 'slushied'"
Rachel can't think of anything to say, her mouth is open in shock. This new kid didn't just get slushied on his first day of school and is laughing? What's wrong with him? She just concentrates on cleaning the rest of the slushie from his hair.
"Well um," The brunette clears her throat, "welcome to McKinley?"
"Thanks," he says, looking at himself in the mirror, he suddenly seems more upset. "I can't wait untill my mom sees me and I have to tell her that I got 'slushied' today at school." He takes off his wet shirt leaving him in his under shirt that is still a little stained. Rachel's eyes widen, he has a nice body, he's almost as muscular as Puck and that's saying something.
"It usually dries by the end of the day although it takes a while for the stain to come out," Rachel tells him with a sad smile. "Listen, this is partially my fault. Those Neanderthals only slushied you because you were walking with me. I'm sorry."
"Don't be," he tells her, mimicking her sad smile, "those guys are jerks." He begins washing his shirt.
"Well, they'll stop when you join the football team."
He looks up from the sink, "football team? I hate football, not to mention I'm highly uncoordinated."
"Well surely you must do some sports," Rachel finds herself staring at his huge arms.
He shrugs and goes back to washing his shirt, "not really, just your basic workout, you know, weights and stuff." Rachel nods as if she knows what 'and stuff' means while, besides the elliptical, she doesn't know anything about workout machines and techniques.
"Well are you interested in anything else? McKinley has a wide selection of extra curricular activities," Rachel remembers all the clubs she joined just to be in the yearbook. She seems to recall asking Kurt to start a gay-lesball club with her just to get in another picture. Now she just has glee. "You can join glee club, we're always looking for more singers and dancers. You don't have to be that good, it's hard to get solos anyway."
Kyle laughs and rings his shirt out before putting it on. He winces and Rachel guesses that the wet shirt isn't that comfortable. "You can show up today after school. Everyone needs to audition so you would need a song which doesn't give you much time to pick a song or really practice it but-" she is cut of by the bell.
"I'll see if I can make it," he hands her her books and picks up his own. "I guess we should um, go to class now."
"Or course, you wouldn't want to be late on your first day." And with that they go to class.
PLEASE READ!
So there's the first chapter now here are some questions:
So far I think i'm going to have some Finchel and some Rachel/Kyle (If someone thinks of a union name for them, don't hesitate to tell me cause i'm drawing a blank) anyway would you guys rather Finchel or Rachel/Kyle? You don't know that much about Kyle yet so some of you might change your minds but tell me what you think so far.
Also do you guys want this to be Rachel's P.O.V. all the time? Or should I include some Finn and Kyle? I'm thinking all three but let me know what you think.
The most important question obviously is: SHOULD I CONTINUE?
Please review and tell me what you think 3 They make me smile :) :)
