A/N: This chapter is really cute! I love how the ending turned out. Keep Reviewing because those reviews keep me going. Thanks!

Rachel's POV

(Phone Conversation)

"Yeah You'll do great! Don't worry, your voice is really good" I said to Taylor on the phone

"Okay thank you Rachel for everything. I'm going to practice before glee!" Taylor said fast and nervous

"Who was that?" Quinn asked at the breakfast table shoving cereal in her mouth as fast as she could.

"Just Taylor, she's scared about singing for the first time in glee today!" I said Rolling my eyes "You should NEVER be nervous to perform!"

"Hey I meant to ask did you think Whitney was a little weird or sneaky?" Quinn said "I mean I would know!"

"Yeah, you could tell she has a crush on Finn!" I said thinking about it

"Hope it doesn't end up like last time!" Quinn said

"What does that mean?" I asked offended

"Well you know Finn was in a relationship with me and you were throwing yourself at him, and he ended up with you. That's all!" Quinn said

"Oh, But Finn would never, were forever right?" I said thinking harder

"Im sorry Rach!" Quinn said

"Quinn, its ok were past this. We've forgiven and forgotten I mean we both ended up so happy!" I said hugging her

We were walking to school because the boys had football before school. It was cold but we managed.

"Hey, have you gotten any acceptance letters for college Quinn?" I asked

"No, but I forgot to tell you I applies to NYU." She said jumping up and down

"Really! You Applied to New York! We could go together!" I said really happy

"I know! What about Finn?" She said killing the mood

"He has a scout coming to his game tonight he's from NYU. I really hope they win so the scout likes Finn!" I said

"He Will!" Quinn said

"You, Me, Puck, Finn, Blaine and Kurt could all get a loft together!" I said

"That's a great idea! I hope it happens!" Quinn said

"Me too" I said and we both walked into school and people parted down the halls.

Ever Since Quinn and I became best friends and I got back together with Finn people started to like me and I became sort of popular. I liked it but I didn't want it to change me, I would never lose my plaid skirts and knee high socks for popularity if that was the case.

I saw Finn by his locker so I walked over to him.

"Hey" I said to him

"Hey babe I've missed you so much!" He said attacking me with kisses

"How was practice?" I asked

"Hard, but it will be worth ir tonight if the guy from NYU likes me!" He said kissing my check

"it means a lot you would do this for me!" I said looking down

"I would do anything for you" he said and just than Whitney walked by starring at Finn, he notice and took me into a surprise kiss just to show Whitney who his girl was. She saw and gave me a dirty look and walked to Santana.

Santana's POV

"Hey Whitney ready for our song, woah hold up you look pissed!" Santana said backing up

"How can we break up Finn and Rachel?" Whitney said mad

"Impossible, I even slept with Finn and that didn't break them up as much as I hate it. There happy & my friends" Santana said

"Well I want Finn, they can't stay together FOREVER can they?" Whitney said angry

"Well there moving to New York together!" Santana said disgusted

"I'll break them up don't worry." Whitney said with a grin on her face

Rachel's POV

"Mr. Shue can Taylor and I go first?" I said smiling

"Sure go head!" Mr. Shue said

"Break a leg!" Finn said

"I love you!" I replied

"Wait Finn why do you want Rachel to break her leg?" Brittany said and we all rolled our eyes.

The music started and we began to sing.

I have 36 expressions

Sweet as pie and tough as leather

And that's six expressions more

Than all them Barrymores put together

Instead of just kicking me

Why don't they give me a lift

Well, it must be a plot

'Cause they're scared that I got such a gift

Well I'm miffed

'Cause I'm the greatest star

I am by far

But no one knows it

Wait, they're gonna hear a voice

A silver flute

They'll cheer each toot

( Yeah, she's terrific!)

When I expose it!

Now can't you see to look at me

That I'm a natural Camille

(Hey listen kid I know I'd be divine because ...)

I'm a natural cougher

[coughing sounds]

Some ain't got it, not a lump

I'm a great big clump of talent!

Laugh, they'll bend in half

(Did you ever hear that story about the traveling salesman?)

A thousand jokes

(Stick around for the chokes)

A thousand faces, I reiterate

When you're gifted

Than you're gifted

These are facts I got no ax to grind

He, what are you blind?

In all the world so far, I'm the greatest star

No autographs please

[spoken]

Do you thing beautiful girls are gonna stay in style forever

What if I say not, any minute now there' gonna be out

Finished than it'll be my turn

[sung]

Who is the pip with pizazz?

Who is all ginger and jazz?

Who is as glamorous as?

Who's an American beauty rose,

With an American beauty nose,

And ten American beauty toes,

Eyes on the target and wham

One shot one gunshot and bam?

He mister Keeney here I am

I'm the greatest star

I am by far but no one knows it!

That's why I was born

I blow my horn

Till someone blows it

I'll light up like a light

Right up like a light

I'll flicker, then flare up, ah, ah!

All the world's gonna stare up

Looking down you'll never see me

Try the sky 'cause that'll be me!

I can make them cry

I can make them sigh

Some day they'll clamor for my drama

Have you guessed yet, who's the best yet?

If you ain't I'll tell you one more time

You bet yer last dime

In all of the world so far

I am the greatest, greatest star!

"That was REALLY good guys, Why'd you pick that song?" Mr. Shue asked

"Because we both love "Funny Girl", and that's one of my favorites from the movie!" Taylor said And I nodded and sat in my seat

"That was really good guys, but it won't be better than Mine and Tyra's!" Mercedes said

"Hit it!" Tyra said

Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?

Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?

Are you a guard in prison maximum security?

Is that you? is that you? Is that you?

do we stay home all the time because you want me to yourself?

Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?

Or am I stay locked away out of fear I'll find someone else?

Is that you Is that you Is that you?

[Chorus]

Well I don't like (o-hoo)

Living under your spotlight (o-hoo)

Just because you think I might (o-hoo)

Find somebody worthy

O I don't like (o-hoo)

Living under spotlight

Maybe if you treat me right

You wont have to worry

[Verse 2]

Is this a relationship

Fulfilling your needs as well as mine?

Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?

Or is this just my sentence

Am I doing time?

Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?

Is this love real real love

Then I'm staying no doubt

Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?

But if I'm just love's prisoner

Then I'm bustin out (oh)

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Boy you ought to be ashamed of yourself

What the hell do you think your doing

Loving me, loving me so wrong

Baby all I do is try (try)

To show you that your mine (mine)

One and only guy (only guy)

No matter who may come along

Open your eyes cause baby I don't like

Ooh, ooh (oo,oo)

Ooh, ooh (hey cause I don't like!)

Well I don't like

Living under your spotlight (no,no)

Just because you think I might (hee)

Find somebody worthy (no, I don't like yeah)

And I don't

Living under your spotlight (living under your spotlight)

Maybe if you treat me right (treat me right yeah!)

You wont to worry

(I don't like)

We all clapped and they bowed.

"That was also really amazing!" He said

"Okay Our turn!" Brittany said standing up

Brendon took the Mic and started singing.

You wait little girl

On an empty stage

For fate to turn the light on

Your life little girl

is an empty page

that men will want to write on

To write on

You are 16 going on 17

Baby its time to think

Better beware

Be canny and careful

Baby you're on the brink

You are 16 going on 17

Fellows will fall in line

Eager young lads

And grueways and cads

Will offer you fruit and wine

Totally unprepared are you

To face a world of men

Timid and shy and scared are you

Of things beyond your ken

You need someone

Older and wiser

Telling you what to do

I am 17 going on 18

I'll take care of you

I am 16 going on 17

I know that i'm naive

Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet

And willingly I believe

I am 16 going on 17 innocent as a rose

Bachelor dandies

Drinkers of brandies

What do I know of those

Totally unprepared am I

To face a world of men

Timid and shy and scared am I

Of things beyond my ken

I need someone

Older and wiser

Telling me what to do

You are 17 going on 18

I'll depend on you

Everyone sat there confused.

"Good but why'd you choose that song?" Mr. Shue said

"Well because Brendon is 16 and im 17 and we have it going on. That's the name of the song "16 going on 17!" Brittany said We all looked around and laughed at her stupidity.

"Britt, im 14!" Brendon said

"Oh, Well.." Brittany said

"Okay this is werid Daisy and I will go!" Quinn said

I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok

I just want to be ok today

I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok

I just want to be ok today

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today

I just want to feel something today

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today

I just want to feel something today

CHORUS

Open me up and you will see

I'm a gallery of broken hearts

I'm beyond repair, let me be

And give me back my broken parts

I just want to know today, know today, know today

I just want to know something today

I just want to know today, know today, know today

Know that maybe I will be ok

CHORUS

Open me up and you will see

I'm a gallery of broken hearts

I'm beyond repair, let me be

And give me back my broken parts

Just give me back my pieces

Just give them back to me please

Just give me back my pieces

And let me hold my broken parts

I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok

I just want to be ok today

I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok

I just want to be ok today

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today

I just want to feel something today

I just want to know today, know today, know today

Know that maybe I will be ok

Know that maybe I will be ok

Know that maybe I will be ok

"Wow guys that song was amazing and really good for your voices!" Mr. Shue said

"Yeah, Yeah Shue lets move on to bigger and better things. Me and Whitney!" Santana said

"Alright, Go head Whitney and Santana." He said

"yeah, get ready because this is going to be better than everyone's especially Rachel's lame performance!" Whitney said

I just crossed my arms and gave her a dirty smirk. She could NEVER be better than me.

The music started and they were singing.

All I can ever be to you,

Is a darkness that we knew,

And this regret I've got accustomed to,

Once it was so right,

When we were at our high,

Waiting for you in the hotel at night,

Whitney kept looking at Finn and giving me dirty looks.

I knew I hadn't met my match,

But every moment we could snatch,

I don't know why I got so attached,

It's my responsibility,

And you don't owe nothing to me,

But to walk away I have no capacity

She was walking around and came up to Finn and messed with his hair than walked away.

[Chorus:]

He walks away,

The sun goes down,

He takes the day but I'm grown,

And there's no way, in this blue shape,

My tears dry on their own,

I don't understand,

Why do I stress A man,

When there's so many bigger things at hand,

We could a never had it all,

We had to hit a wall,

So this is inevitable withdrawal,

Even if I stop wanting you,

A Perspective pushes true,

I'll be some next man's other woman soon,

I shouldn't play myself again,

I should just be my own best friend,

Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men,

[Chorus]

So we are history,

YOUR shadow covers me

The sky above,

A blaze only that lovers see

[Chorus]

I wish I could say no regrets,

And no emotional debts,

Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets

So we are history,

The shadow covers me,

The sky above a blaze that only lovers see,

[Chorus]

[x2]

He walks away,

The sun goes down,

He takes the day but I'm grown,

And in no way,

In my deep shape

My tears dry

Everyone clapped but not with enthusiasm not many people were liking Whitney and I defiantly didn't like her.

"That was really good and Santana I forgot to ask you how are you feeling?" Mr. Shue said

"Im good, not feeling that sick. I mean its all still new im only 4 weeks. Im not showing yet and this weekend is nationals and I'll quit cheerleading after I lead the team to victory" Santana said

"Wait your pregnant?" Daisy said

"Yes, but im giving it up. But I have to stay on the cherrios if I want a full scholarship to UCLA." She said

School was over and I was standing at my locker with Finn.

"What time are you coming tonight?" He asked

"6, where do you want me to sit?" I said back smiling

"I saved, You, Quinn, Mom, Dad, Blaine and Kurt all seats in the front row!" He said

"I'll be waiting for you Hudson!" I said kissing his check and walking away.

"What the hell on the check!" He said quoting me from a year ago and I walked out of the school linked arms with Quinn.

"RACHEL we need to go well be LATE!" Quinn yelled up the stairs

"SORRY! I have to look good!" I said running down the stairs

"Its going to rain tonight so no point in looking perfect!" She said

"Really! Rain is so romantic!" I said jumping in the car

"Your so dramatic Rach, did you know that?" Quinn said and I smiled

We pulled up to the school and met everyone in the front row. I first spotted Finn across the field and he waved to me and I blew him a kiss and mouthed "Good Luck!"

"Are you worried?" Kurt said taking notice in my shaking hands

"I know he'll do great but its just, this could change his future, OUR future." I said nervous

"He'll do great and they'll win!" Kurt said and the game had just started

Everyone was clapping because the game was half over and we were in the lead. But not by much so the other team could catch up.

The second half had started and the other team quickly scored and had more points then we did. Finn was playing great and I could tell her was going to give up easily. He had a lot on his shoulders and I could tell.

It was the last couple of seconds and Finn caught the ball and ran to score the winning touchdown. He won the game. HE WON THE GAME.

The crowd ERRUPTED with cheers and the whole crown rushed to the field picking Finn up and chanting his name. I saw him jump down from there arms and ignore all the comments and hugs he was getting from strangers, he was making his way over to ME.

He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him and kissed him passionately The kiss stopped time , it was better than Nationals. Then to top the moment off it started to rain. I Giggled and backed my face away from his and said "Finn im so proud of you!"

"Shutup, and kiss me Rach!" He said taking my head into his hands and kissing me again.

I saw people starring and "Awwing" at us.

I was Right "Rain is SO romantic."
