~Rachel's P.O.V.~
I watch Finn walk down the hallway with Quinn and my heart drops. They don't even look at me, they just walk right past me.

"Hey Rachel." Mercedes says, stopping at my locker.

"Hey, how was your summer?" I ask her.

"It was good. I heard about Quinn and Finn, I'm so sorry Rach." She tells me. I look down and she gives me a hug.

"You know what, enough with this sad face, this year is for us single ladies. Now come on, it's the first glee club meeting of the year." She cheers me up. I smile and we walk into the choir room.

"Hello new directions!!" Mr. Shue yells when he comes in the room and everyone cheers.

"Okay guys, this is our year and we are going all the way to Nationals in New York! We have to try hard and do our best, but I believe in you guys and I know you can do it." Mr. Shue says to get us excited. I went through a lot this summer, but I know we will make it to Nationals this year.

"To start off this year, we will do numbers relating to hellos. Everyone has said hello, wether they say it in a different language or not, everyone says it." Mr. Shue tells us. We all turn to one another and discuss what we are going to do.

"What are you going to sing Rachel?" Mercedes asks me. I think for a minute and I see Finn give Quinn a kiss and it hits me.

"You were right earlier Mercedes, this is our year." I tell her. Before I can even think, I get up.

"Mr. Shue, I have my song." I say. He smiles and stands aside and I start singing.

I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place.
And you're still probably working
At a 9 to 5 pace
I wonder how bad that tastes

When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell

Now where's your picket fence love?
And where's that shiny car?
Did it ever get you far?
You never seem so tense, love
I never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?

And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell, Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell, Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well
(Treats you well)
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell

Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Yeah. Where did it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on

And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell, Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell, Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well
(Treats you well)
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell

Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well

When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well
(Treats you well)
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell

When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
(hope it gives you hell)
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
(hope it gives you hell)
When you hear this song and you sing along well you'll never tell
(you'll never tell)
Then you're the fool I've just as well I hope it gives you hell
(gives you hell)
When you hear this song I hope that it will give you hell
(give you hell)
You can sing along I hope that he will treat you well

I get done and everyone is cheering except Finn, Quinn, and Mr. Shue.

"That was an amazing performance Rachel, but the point of the assignment was to say hello." Mr. Shue says.

~Skip to end of the day~

"Hey diva, that was an awesome performance in glee club." Kurt tells me.

"Thanks. I really needed to get to the angry part of the breakup to actually get over it." I confess.

"Well, speaking of getting over it, Finn is coming over here." Kurt blurts out and walks away. Finn comes up to me like he is expecting me to say something.

"What do you want?" I ask.

"I can't believe after everything you did to me, you sang that song about me. What did I do to you Rachel?" Finn says angrily.

"That's the thing Finn, I didn't do anything to you. Someone told you I cheated on you and instead of talking to me like a sane person you broke up with me! The worst part is I didn't even cheat on you! But I'm over it, we dating for a while and you couldn't even respect me enough to listen to me, so whatever Finn, have a great life!" I yell at him and storm away.
