( SIXTEEN; ORIGINAL SONGS )
WICKED.

     The weather grew colder as the preparation for Regionals grew stronger. It seemed to be that the glee club had a lasting habit that consisted of them waiting until the week of to fully put together a final setlist. It was annoying and unprofessional, but Rachel Berry couldn't help but love it.

     The brunette had been on a mission for weeks to create an original song that even the New Directions could deny for Regionals. And obviously, the girl looked to her supportive ex-boyfriend for guidance and opinions.

     It shouldn't have been so upsetting but it was. Even though Quinn knew she had the Hudson boy wrapped around her pinky, she couldn't help but notice the lingering feelings the boy had for Rachel. But that was okay, the blonde only needed Finn for a couple more months before she could truly let him go...if she'd even let him go.

     Without him, her chances of being prom queen were still high but not as high as they are when she's with Finn. The two were once the "it couple", they could become that again. The whole school would watch them, gawking at their popularity and beauty, the school's newspaper would write articles of their relationship. They were a shoe in for prom king and queen.

     But why was it Quinn had to let go of any and all confusing feelings she once had about a certain redhead but Finn could openly act on his? It was unfair. The boy could still walk and talk with Rachel and rub her arm and give her his signature side smile but Quinn had to cut off all communication with the girl who had actually cared enough about her to drive her home when she had gotten wasted.

     Not even her boyfriend did that, he didn't even check to see where she was or how she got home. He was too busy catering to Rachel's feeling like he always was, it was a vicious cycle with them. And Quinn knew she had to break it.

     She was able to break hers, but maybe it was easier for her. The attention that Faye once showed her had all been transferred to another girl in the glee club and everyone took notice of their sudden friendship. The girls walked everywhere together, they laughed together, they sat next to each other during glee club. It was almost like Faye had given up on her mission to decode and read Quinn, because now her focus was entirely on Santana.

     And although the blonde would never admit it, she missed the longing stares they once shared and the heavy tension that once flowed between them. But the absence of her attention only pushed the Fabray girl to strive for something else, the crown.

     With all her distractions aside, Quinn knew there was only one thing standing between her and her end goal. Rachel Berry.
