You Belong with Me

chapter 2

The next day

Rachel POV

(Walking down the school hallways to her locker) I went to school the next morning with an open mind. Just because Finn didn’t feel the same way I did, that didn’t mean I’d never get over him.(Reaches her locker) If I’m being honest, right now I’m more worried about Finn rather than anything else. Im worried because of what Quinn is doing to him, I look at them together and I see tension and unhappiness in his eyes. (Leans on her locker) Oh those eyes those gorgeous, deep, beautiful, brown…

Finn: Rachel?

Rachel: Yeah? Sorry I was just…

Finn: Daydreaming?

Rachel: Yeah, Yeah, that’s it!

(Quinn watching them from across the hall)

Finn: (opening his locker and getting books out etc.) So, what were you dreamin’ about?

Rachel: (doing the same) Oh, nothing…

Finn: (closing locker) (looking deeply into her eyes) It was about me, wasn’t it?

Oh my god, how the hell did he know?! Oh my god, this is so embarrassing, quick Rach say something! Anything!!

Rachel: Um………..

Finn: (Leans really close to her) (whispers) and my mom thought those acting classes after school were a bad idea!

Rachel: Oh… ha-ha

Finn: (leaning back up and laughing along with her, not realising that she’s fake laughing)

Rachel: (laughing) you’re crazy!

Finn: (laughing as well) I like to think of myself as playful.

Rachel: (bursts out laughing again)

Finn: (Laughing along with her)

Gosh, he has a gorgeous laugh. It’s infectious!

(Quinn notices them laughing and saw him lean really close before, and is furious now)

(She storms over to them)

Quinn: Finn, what are you doing talking to her?

Finn: Quinn we’re friends, its fine.

Quinn: No, it’s weird!

Finn: (sighs, giving up) Ok, I’m sorry. I was being stupid.

(Rachel feels hurt)

Quinn: Thank you. (Kisses him)

Finn: (feels kind of awkward but kisses back anyway)

Quinn: (opens her eyes and notices that Rachel is really hurt/awkward, so starts making out with Finn)

Finn: (remembers Rachel is there and feels bad) Now come on, we’ve got to get to History.

Quinn: (Holds his hand) Fine. (Glares at Rachel)

Finn: Bye Rach.

Rachel: yeah whatever….

Just as I’m getting kind of annoyed at Finn for just giving in almost straight away and ditching me, he looks back at me and rolls his eyes, mouths “Sorry” and smiles that gorgeous half smile and just melts me instantly.

(Finn and Quinn walk about half way down the hall when)

Finn: Damn, I left my History books in my locker.

Quinn: Oh, I’ll get them for you!

Finn: Thanks babe.

Quinn: (Walks back to Finn’s locker)

(Finn gets a phone call) (Quinn notices and sees an opportunity)

Quinn: (pushes past Rachel to get to Finn’s locker)

Rachel: (offended) Hey!

Quinn: Oh! I’m sorry were you talking to me?

Rachel: Well, yeah, you just pushed me and it hurt!

Quinn: Oh no. (Gets Finn’s books out) No, there’s no way that could’ve happened ‘cos I would never touch anyone like you!

Rachel: I’m sorry, someone like me??

Quinn: (closes locker) Oh God, do I have to spell it out for you?

(Pause)

Quinn: You. Are. A. LOSER!!

Rachel: (feels like she just got punched in the stomach)

Quinn: Don’t think I don’t see you flirting with Finn! He doesn’t like you! He never will, ok?! I can’t believe you could be so stupid! We are in love, ok?! I’m gonna tell you how it is. Finn and I are going to graduate high school, leave this dead-end loser town, get married, have kids, and grow old together. He will forget all about you, but you will never forget him. You will try to fall in love with someone else, and get over him, but you won’t be able to. Every relationship you have with someone will fail. You will die alone! Why don’t you start with the whole trying to get over him now, huh?

Rachel: (tears in her eyes, and a tear rolls down her cheek)

Quinn: (breathes out) Now, I’m gonna go. I don’t want to see you anywhere near Finn. Got it? Nod.

Rachel: (a few tears are now rolling down her cheeks) (she is really shocked and taken aback so nods anyway)

As Quinn walks away, gives the books to Finn, he tries to look back at Rachel but she turns his head away from her and gives him a quick kiss on the lips, and walks away holding his hand, more and more tears start to roll down my cheeks. My face is now sodden with my tears I back away, not being able to believe what she just said to me. As I’m doing so I bump into someone.

Kurt’s POV

Mercedes and I were just walking down the hall, chatting about our usual stuff when…

Kurt: no, no, no, no, no, no, you’ve got it all wrong; it was written by Cole Porter!

Mercedes: Oh, please! Anything goes was written by Cameron Mackintosh!!

Kurt: No! That’s Les Miserables! Anything Goes was written by Cole Porter!!

Mercedes: Oooohhh!

Kurt: Ha!!!!

Mercedes: Shut up.

Kurt: I told you so!

Mercedes: Oh whatever!

All of a sudden, someone bumps into me and Mercedes. She turns around and I realise its Rachel. I was about to tell her about our previous conversation, but then I realised that she had tears cascading down her cheeks.

Kurt: Oh my gosh, Rach, what’s wrong!

Rachel: (still sobbing, pushes past them and runs to the bathroom)

As I watch Rachel run down the halls and run into the bathroom, Mercedes and I look at her and chase after her.
