Rachel was singing softly, for her anyways, on the stage in the auditorium and had been for a while before Quinn came banging in. She had been practicing, her mind focused on getting the next solo, because she had to have it. She had earned it and it was hers. Now if Mister Shuster could only see that!
When the door slammed into the wall, Rachel screamed before she slapped her hands over her mouth. Quinn Fabray, of all people, came in. At least she didn't have a Big Gulp Slushie in hand.
With her hands still covering her mouth, she watched the Head Cheerleader, and latest member of the Glee Club, staring at her. Despite their shared membership in the club, they really didn't have anything in common and the cheerleader's disdain for her wasn't hard to see.
"Hi Quinn," Rachel babbled nervously, not sure what to expect. "Did you...come to practice the new number? I think you'll do great with it once you have the harmony down."
