Don't Stop Believin'

Chapter 1- "I Love You"

Rachel walked rapidly to the "kiss the quarterback" booth with some dollar bills in her hand. Finn had created a booth where girls paid Finn for a kiss and the money would fund the Glee club. His goal was to kiss every girl in the school. But really his intention was to get Quinn Fabray to kiss him again. Of course no one knew his real intentions but if this is what it took to get Quinn to be his girl again he would take it. Rachel slapped the money on the table, cutting in front of the other (now irritated) girls who wanted a kiss from the star quarterback. The impact brings Finn back to reality. She starts screaming, telling him he has to kiss her and that he needs to forgive her. Finn then leans over and gives her a peck on the cheek. Obviously she is not happy

"What the hell. On the cheek!" Finn doesn't say anything. Rachel gets annoyed now.

"OK! I love you Finn is that what you want to hear. Why can't you just forgive me"

Finn now reaches for something under the booth. It was a neatly wrapped box. The wrapping was little Christmas decorations which was strange because it was February. Finn hands it to her.

"But it's February," she says.

"I know. I got it for you...for Christmas... right before we broke up." Finn opens it up and inside is a gold necklace... with a star hanging on the chain. Rachel stares at it in awe. He picks it up and wraps it around her neck.

" Lets face it you're better than anyone else in this school. You don't need me or anybody guy to anchor you in Lima. You're a real star and you need shine. And just because I'm not with you doesn't mean I don't believe you."

Rachel feels like crying and the tears well up in her eyes. She walks away clutching her necklace.
