Chapter 2: I Won't Say ItGirl Worth Fighting For

The next two weeks passed both slowly and painfully for the members of the Glee club. The excitement that they were all feeling made the days seem to crawl on like they would never end. These feelings were not aided by the fact that they had spent all of their time in Glee either working on Disney songs or talking about what they wished to do most on the trip.

Quinn was just as excited as the others to be going on this trip. Walt Disney World was one of the places that her "perfect" family would go on vacations to as a child. Even though her memories of her family may have been ruined forever by the events of the last year, she still remembered how much fun that she had on those trips and wanted to add good memories there wit her friends.

She was also glad to be getting out of town at what seemed to be the perfect time. It had taken sixth months, but her mother had finally caved and agreed to try to start over with her father. They had tried to set it up as a perfect time to act as a family again, coming together on Thanksgiving and "giving thanks" for what they had. The fact that her mother thought she would be okay with it made Quinn sick to her stomach. Her only hope was that the dinner was a disaster, or she would need to find somewhere to stay soon. She swore to herself she would never put up with her father again.

But just two days before they were supposed to leave Quinn had a much bigger things to worry about. Namely that she was almost 100% positive that the fact that she obsessively stared at Rachel in history class was far from a secret. She suspected that Kurt had seen her staring for a couple of weeks, but this morning there was a look of recognition on his face that scared Quinn.

Hearing the bell, Quinn hurried from her class to try and find the fashionista and do damage control. Heading towards his locker Quinn saw Kurt standing there having what seemed to be an intense conversation with Mercedes. Thankfully it was just the two of them and she could deal with this better than if there were more people around.

Quinn hurried up to the two divas and went to enact her plan. "Hello, Kurt, Mercedes. I was just going to leave and get some lunch, do you wanna come with? I think that we have some Glee issues to discuss?"

Quinn knew that her direct approach would get the two's interest, but should have know that they wouldn't allow her to get by without some discomfort. It was Kurt who started, "Sure, Quinn. Where did you wanna go? Mercedes and I were thinking about going to Smoothie King. I have been craving a strawberry smoothie for days."

Mercedes was just as quick to jump in, "Ooh, ya, the strawberry there is pretty good, but I think I want a blueberry smoothie."

"What about you Quinn? You look like you want a Rach—"

"Enough! Let's go." Quinn grabbed the two and dragged them after her while they broke down into laughter. Reaching her car Quinn let the two in and peeled out as soon as the doors were closed.

It took Quinn a moment to compose herself, but she knew she had to do damage control badly. "Okay, Kurt there has clearly been some sort of misunderstanding of what you think you saw this morning."

"Quinn, sweetheart, it's not very hard to understand when someone is undressing someone else with their eyes. And it was beyond obvious that you were thinking of the best way to rid Rachel of her mini-skirt."

Quinn did her best not to show any emotion as Kurt guessed exactly what she was doing during class. "That was not what I was doing! I was thinking of the best way to embarrass her. I don't want people thinking that I'm going soft. I'm still the HBIC."

Kurt and Mercedes shared a look before he replied, "This must be one hell of a plan then, since you've been doing this for weeks. I can't believe my gaydar missed this for so long."
