Welcome to my newest story! This is based off of New Girl, the tv show! Bear with me, I know its short but I had to cut chapter one into two! If you like PuckleBerry, check out my in process fic Even Now.

Anyway, enjoy the craziness I have prepared for you.

I don't own Glee or New Girl. Just my editing errors! :)

"Ugh!" she groaned and took another ship of her Chai Tea Latte. She was sitting in the middle of central park looking up available roommates in Manhattan.

Why?

Because her she found her boyfriend Jesse, with another girl! She didn't even see it coming. She and Jesse had been together for four years, she thought they really had something.

She sighed.

It really was a beautiful day in New York City.

September couldn't come fast enough for her, she was a music teacher and she had had the longest summer ever. For Rachel Berry, she lived and breathed music. She moved out to NY to be a star, but little did she know six years later, 25 year old Rachel Berry would be teaching music at the local public school. Don't get her wrong, she loved her job! She loved the kids and the music but deep in the pit of her stomach she still ached to be a star.

Jesse was a star. He was on Broadway and honestly watching him succeed was hard enough. She had been turned down so many times, she just stopped trying. It wasn't even worth it anymore.

She did need a home though. She was crashing in her best friend Quinn's apartment, but Quinn and her roommates were models so she really didn't like feeling so bad about herself. Plus they were all bitches, even Quinn sometimes. But she loved her regardless.

She gasped. She clicked on four bedrooms, living space, bathroom, and kitchen. Perfect she thought to herself!

She loved it and she could afford rent! She even read that the bath towels were 100% cotton. She really hoped these girls were as neat and tidy as she was, they did feel as though bath towels were important. She didn't listen to her dads when she said not to look on craigslist for a roommate but this was New York, obviously she knew how to take care of herself.

"You know in horror movies, when the girl hears the sound in the basement...

And she's like: "Oh my god, what's that sound? I better go downstairs in the dark while only wearing my underwear..." And you're like, "What is your problem? Call the police!"

TWO WEEKS AGO.

"Quinn, I'm not sure about this." Rachel said over the phone. She was wearing a bright pink coat.

"I'm wearing my Sandy outfit underneath. It's pretty sexy. If I say so myself." she said proudly but got a strange look from her cab driver.

"Räch, you've come a long way. If Jesse doesn't appreciate this than I don't know what will spice up your sex life!"

Rachel nodded into the phone.

"You're so right Quinn. Okay. I'll call you later."

She hung up with her best friend and payed the cab driver. She walked into her apartment singing,

"You better shape up! Cuz I need a man, and my heart is set on you." Jesse came out of the bed room to see his girlfriend dressed as Sadny and wearing a leather suit and her hair was craily curled.

"Uh. Rach. Now's not a good time." he said.

"Tell me about it Stud." she said and winked when all of the sudden a girl came out of "their" bedroom. She gasped and pulled her pink coat back on.

"Jesse! How could you?"

"Sorry, babe." he shrugged and walked away.

Rachel ran out of the apartment and cried until there was nothing left.

PRESENT DAY

"That's why I need an apartment."

She looks across at the three guys in front of her. One was slick and dressed in a button down shirt and a matching bow tie. He informed her that he was called Blaine Anderson. She wasn't exactly sure where he stood on the Gaydar. he was very cute and was short just like her!

Then there was Noah Puckerman, wearing just a t-shirt and jeans, sported a mohawk and they all called him Puck. dshe would most definitely call him by his birth name. Puck is just absurd. They were all grown adults. She noticed he already seemed like the type of guy who made her cringe.

Then there was Finn in maroon hoodie sitting in between Blaine and Noah. He was giant, like 6'3 giant! She was at least a head and half shorter than her. He had a crooked smile and a dopey attitude but he was so handsome. She shook the thought out of her head.

"You really had no idea he was cheating on you?" Finn said incredulously.

"Well, we've been dating for four years! I thought I knew him-. I mean-" she started to cry and she noticed all the guys staring at one another.

"I'm okay. Im just really emotional right now. You know."

They all started at her. They had no idea. They were looking at someoe really psycho.

"You know, when I saw your ad on Craigslist, I thought you were girls and-" she stated.

"Um? Why would you even think that? That's crazy." Blaine said defensively.

"Blaine wrote the ad. He's gayer than the average gay man, sometimes you can't tell.." Finn joked and Rachel's eyes widened in realization. Gay, she called it. She had excellent gaydar. She had a gay best friend named Kurt and if you hang out with him enough, you know things.

"Well, I only say that because you described the bath towels as 100% cotton. Who even cares about towels?" she sad.

He rolled his eyes.

"Bath towels matter." he said and Puck let out a huge laugh.

"This is not going to work. I mean you don't want to live with a girl. It's just that I'm going through a break up and I'm a music teacher so ill be doing a lot of singing. I'm vegan, so we have to watch what we eat. When i'm sad, I like to watch Funny Girl and dress like Barbra Streisand's character Fanny. Did I mention that I sing a lot?" She looked at Blaine who seemed excited to have a girl in the Apartment and then Finn who she couldn't tell what he may be thinking.

"Are you going to shower naked?" Puck asked.

"Well, I mean, yes." she said to him.

"Then yes, we want to live with you." he said quickly.

"God, Puck, you're so gross!" Blaine says.

Rachel stands up from the couch. "I'm going to leave now."

"Wait! No, look we're sorry. We are a bunch of losers. Give us a chance. Live with us!" Finn said.

"Finn. Seriously. We aren't desperate. We have options." Puck said.

They all looked at each other remembering how they almost offereded a man who bred rabbits a spot in the loft.

"We are desperate. Our buddy, Sam moved out a month ago." Finn said.

"I'm sorry, I just don't think I'm cut-" she started.

"Wait, are you seriously telling us you had no idea he was cheating on you?" Puck asked.

"No. I told you I didn't know. I don't want to talk about it." she crossed her arms and pouted her lips.

"Did he lose a lot of socks?" Puck asked.

"Um. Yes. So?" she said confused.

"Where do you think those socks were?" Puck smirked.

Realization sweeping over her brain. "Oh."

"Did he take his phone to the bathroom?" Finn asked.

"Well, he thought it was rude to talk at the table." Rachel said.

"How many showers did he take a day?" Blaine asked her.

"Two. One after… rehearsals. Oh," she said.

"Was it your idea to move in?" Finn asked.

"Well, I graduated college and I needed a place to stay, so mine I guess."

They were all staring at her and suddenly she saw how blind she was. She groaned and put her head in her hands.

"You guys are pretty smart." she said.

"No we are just guys." Finn said with a small laugh.

"Come look at my room" Puck said. "Wow, I never thought I would say that to a girl and not mean sex." He laughed at his own joke.

"Wait. So when jesse would go for midnight Yoga-"

Finn looks at her and shakes his head.

Rachel spends the next two days moving in. She cries a lot because she misses Jesse. She stays locked in her room listening to the Best of Barbra Stresiand while she tries to forget about Jesse. She would lie on the couch wearing her favorite pajamas that had little kittens on it with a box of kleenex and watch Funny Girl.

One day her phone rang and she noticed it was from her dads.

"Hi, Dad." she said trying to disguise her voice so that they wouldn't know she was crying. Finn was folding laundry in the other room, trying not to listen to her conversation.

"No, I'm fine! I found roommates! Three guys." she said firmly and he watched her in amusement as she didn't answer back for awhile.

"Daddy, honestly, I am 25 years old! I can take caer of myself…Yes, I found them on Craigslist. Fine, i'll ask him." she turned to Finn. "Finn, are you going to rape me and then murder me?"

He chuckled.

"Yes." he replied with a smirk.

"He said no, Dad. You don't need to worry about me. You're little star is fine. No, I haven't spoken to Jesse… Daddy please, just leave it alone." she said. Finn figured that they liked Jesse seeing as she was already starting to cry. He found Rachel super annoying but he hoped she was easy to live with or else the guys would give him crap for it.

She hung up the phone and threw it on the ground.

"Little Star, huh?" he chuckled.

"Gold stars are a metaphor, Finn, for me being a star." she said with a huff and slammed her door shut. Finn laughed out loud.

"What was that about?" Blaine said and him and Puck emerged from Puck's room.

"I don't know. She was like saying something about metaphors being stars or something." Finn shrugged.

"What have you done Puck?" Finn asked.

"Dudes, don't even look at me." he said.

Blaine shrugged.

They all hear Rachel singing loudly to Don't Rain On My Parade and they all groan in unison.

Blaine shook his head and retreated to his bedroom while Puck and Finn shared the same thought.

Rachel was definitely not the typical girl next door.

Whoo! Chapter one is done! I hope you like this idea! i really love Rachel and the Guys!

Reviews my will to go on!
