"Noah? Why prey tell is there paint specks on your arms?"
Puck quickly looks down at both his arms, "What? Where?"
Rachel raises an eyebrow and points, "Here, here and here...and here."
Quinn raises her own eyebrow while Santana face palms behind Rachel's line of sight.
He shakes his head, "Uhm you know whitewashing some fences and shit."
"Whitewashing." Rachel says, sounding less like a question.
Puck nods vigorously, "Yeah. Along with my pool cleaning shindig I whitewash stuff."
Quinn jumps in before Puck digs himself a deeper hole, and loops her arm through Rachel's, "Fascinating. Rach, come on let's get you to the choir room. We're parked in the lot closest today, go figure."
Rachel smiles up at her, "You don't have to walk me to the choir room. I can manage."
Santana pokes the tiny brunette in the side and rolls her eyes while Brittany says, "I love it when San walks me. People think I'd get lost without her but that isn't true. I just really like when she wants to do something for me just because she wants to."
Rachel's eyes widen slightly as she comprehends what's being said.
Quinn for the most part didn't notice the hidden conversation going on within the conversation.
"Exactly. Plus it isn't like I'm shepherding you to class. I just want to walk with you."
Quinn smiles and squeezes her elbow in slightly, effectively squeezing Rachel's.
The brunette smiles up at her, "You're so chivalrous."
A mischievous twinkle appears in hazel eyes, "That's a good thing, right?"
The other two cheerios flanking them giggle as Rachel flat out laughs. She leans her head against the blonde's arm, "Yes Lady Q, that's a very good thing."
"Oh. Right okay, yeah I totally knew that." The teasing grin and playful glint still in her eyes.
Rachel laughs as they make it to the entrance of the choir room, "If I didn't actually see you in the AP classes, I'd believe you were actually sharing Finn's 2 IQ points between the both of you."
Santana bursts out laughing as Quinn's jaw drops, "I can't believe you just said that."
Rachel's eyes are twinkling playfully, "It was the only way I could think of to get you to stop channeling that ignoramus."
Brittany had to actually hold Santana up since she was laughing so hard.
"Well it worked." Quinn says shaking her head slightly with a grin adorning her face.
"I'll see you later?" Rachel didn't mean for it to come out like a question, but it did.
Quinn smiles down at her and she takes one of her hands in both of hers and brings them up to her mouth. She brushes her lips against the back of the brunette's hand, keeping in character, "Of course Princess." The blonde even goes so far as to bow slightly at the waist, bending over her hand and looking up at Rachel through her eyelashes.
Rachel's face is inflamed with a ferocious blush, she just barely manages to whisper out, "Cool."
Quinn stands up straight (no pun intended) smirking at her effect on the brunette and for the second time that day she gives the diva a wink, before turning away from her and walking on in the direction of the gym.
'Why am I proud of myself for making Rach forget how to use words? And what the hell Fabray? Winking?'
Santana's jaw is on the floor as she points at Quinn's retreating figure as if to say, 'Did you see that?'
