As sebastian walked up to Thad's front door with Rachel he could tell she was nervous and he felt so sorry for her. When he had arrived in Ohio he had thought that Rachel berry was a force to be reckoned with but now she seemed a shell of herself and he was determined to change that.

Sebastian knocked on the door and they waited.

" jaqueline Jeff's sister will be here she is a nice girl you two should get on well" sebastian said Rachel gave him a small smile then Thad opened the door.

" about time smythe...oh hi rachel" Thad said clearly surprised to see her.

" Rachel attends Crawford now so she might as well join our group of friends" sebastian said Thad still seemed surprised but moved to let them in sebastian stood back for Rachel to enter first.

" so you go to Crawford now" Thad said to her.

" I start monday" Rachel said

" that's great i always thought you deserved better than McKinley " Thad said.

" definitely" sebastian said closing the door.

" well you two are just in time pizzas have just arrived" Thad said they followed him through the house to the back garden where there was around twenty people sat eating pizzas.

" finally" hunter said seeing sebastian but everyone went quiet when they saw Rachel.

" why is..." hunter started to say.

" Rachel goes to Crawford now" both sebastian and Thad said at the same time.

" oh that's amazing" trent shouted before jumping up and surprising Rachel by hugging her.

" si that's why you were there" jaqueline said

" yeah" Rachel said.

" does this mean Crawford is going to have a show choir to rival the warblers" another girl asked who was sat on hunter's knee.

" yes" Rachel said

" it's about time" the girls said and she and jaqueline walked over to Rachel.

" I'm chloe and I have heard you sing jaqueline and I and our friend rosie who is grounded right now have being pestering the school to start a show choir we heard you sing the last time you competed against the warblers and we said we needed you. It's so exciting" chloe said.

" I still cant believe I'm starting to attend there" Rachel said

" I'm going to go talk to nick and Jeff you ok here" sebastian asked Rachel she nodded.

Rachel.

" so now he has gone tell us what is the deal with him" chloe asked both girls,s were clearly very excitable they reminded her of the female version of niff.

" well I was having trouble with a girl from my old school and he stepped in and told me about Crawford and then took me there and that's how I got to attend there" Rachel said feeling silly about telling them about Santana.

" you were bullied" jaqueline asked

" yeah" Rachel said feeling her face burn.

" but your brilliant your voice is why we wanted to stat a show choir your old school didnt realise how good you were" chloe asked in disbelief.

" I guess not" Rachel said.

" well let's not waste anymore time talking about that place so rach can I call you rach..." chloe asked

" yeah" Rachel said feeling much more relaxed now.

" sebastian is gorgeous isn't he " chloe said

" I think he likes you" jaqueline said

" oh we are just well I guess we are friends" Rachel said.

" I bet he asks you on a date within a week" chloe said.

" Jeff told me sebastian tends to talk about you alot during warbler practice" jaqueline said

" well I used to be their competitor" Rachel said.

" Jeff said sebastian always had a smile on his face when he spoke of you" jaqueline said as Thad came walking towards them.

" let Rachel have some pizza" Thad said and the three girls went and sat down.

" how long have you two being together" Rachel asked as chloe had once more sat on hunter's knee and kissed him.

" three months" chloe said smiling at hunter.

" she has tamed me" hunter said smiling at chloe.

" about time" trent said

" this ones vegan" sebastian said placing a pizza box infront of her she took a slice and started to eat.

Sebastian

By the time it was time for him and Rachel to leave Thad's house Rachel seemed much more like her old self.

" so you had fun" sebastian asked as he set of driving.

" yeah I like jaqueline and chloe" Rachel said.

" I told you that you wou.d fit in didnt i" he said smiling at her.

" yeah you did" she said.

" chloe can get quite excitable at times but her and jaqueline are sweet you do right to be friends with them" sebastian said.

" it was weird" she said.

" what was" he asked

" they liked me for who I am" Rachel said.

" for the record the warblers have always liked who you are" he said.

" its going to take some getting used to" Rachel said.

" it's sad how the new directions treated you but just imagine their faces on Monday when they hear you no longer go there that your at Crawford and that you will be the captain of a rival choir" sebastian said.

" I hope kurt isn't mad at me" she said.

" I know it pretty much public knowledge that I dont like kurt but you were miserable surly a true friend would support you. Plus he didn attend dalton because was bullied if anyone should understand its him" sebastian said. rachel nodded.

Monday

Rachel

Rachel stood looking at herself in the mirror in a small room at Crawford academy she had being issued her uniform and was looking at her reflection. It was so weird here she was on her first day at Crawford yet she felt more relaxed than anyday at McKinley.

As she left the room she felt someone take her arms and saw chloe and jaqueline on either side of her linking her arms.

" we have Spanish first" jaqueline said and they led her through the school to the classroom and to a dest where another girl said.

" you must be Rachel I'm Cassandra call me cassie you know my cousin trent" the girl said.

" yeah hi" Rachel said.

The day flew by and thruth was Rachel had thoroughly enjoyed herself she had friends here she hadn't being bullied she felt like she belonged.

" coffee with the hotties" cassie announced as the school bell rang signalling the end of the day.

" totally" jaqueline said.

Sebastian

Sebastian was sat in the Lima bean with the warblers wondering how Rachel had found her first day.

" before the girls get here how about we talk about you Mr knight in shining armour" trent said to him.

" you would have done the same" sebastian said.

" yes but this way is much better" trent said

" what" sebastian said

" oh drop the act seb we know you have a thing for Rachel you always have" Thad said.

" it's that obvious" sebastian asked

" yeah" the boys all nodded and said as the girls walked in.

" so Rachel how was your first day" trent asked

" I loved it" Rachel said sebastian couldn't remember ever seeing Rachel look as happy.

" rach you sit down I will get your coffee" chloe said moving her around to sit next to sebastian.

" hello" sebastian said feeling everyone's eyes on him but not caring.

" hi " she said

" you enjoyed your first day then" he asked her.

" yeah I did" she said as chloe placed a coffee infront of her.

" thank you" Rachel said.

" we are putting up notices Tomorrow for the show choir" jaqueline said as she and chloe sat down chloe once again on hunter's knee.

" Rachel... can I talk to you" Mr shue asked nobody had seen him walk in sebastian felt annoyed Rachel was free of that place he hoped Mr schuester wasnt going to try to change that.
