"No for the last time I don't know anything else!"
Mercedes crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow, "Oh hell to the n."
"Don't finish that sentence Mercedes. Rachel said she doesn't know anything else, so if I were you I'd stop asking."
Rachel smiles gratefully at Quinn and looks back at Mercedes and nods her head, "It's true. I told you everything that I do know for sure."
Mercedes shakes her head, "Alright fine, but I will find out more."
Quinn smirks raising an eyebrow, "You do that."
The darker haired diva high-five's the blonde and lightly punches Rachel's shoulder giving them both smiles, "I'm outtie. See you both later."
Quinn turns to the tiny diva and tilts her head, "She still bothering you about the whole 'incident'?"
Rachel nods her head, swinging open her locker and putting her books away while grabbing her homework and book for her class, "Yes and I keep telling her, and Kurt actually, that I've told them everything I know already."
The blonde gives her an apologetic smile, "And it's only been fifteen minutes into the day."
Rachel chuckles, "Oh my goodness, it feels like it's been so much longer."
"Rachel, Quinn. I just wanted to say that I'm really glad everything got sorted out."
Turning around Rachel sees Artie and Tina looking at her and smiling, "Thank you Arthur...I mean Artie."
The boy smiles brighter up at her and reaches for her hand and holds it, "Don't thank me, I kind of wish I could do more, I'd have loved being there when Santana and Puck did their thing. Kurt's been having a field day reliving the moment."
Rachel gives his hand a squeeze and shakes her head, "You do a lot already Artie, plus it's the thought that counts."
Quinn places a hand on Rachel's lower back showing her support as Tina nods, "Seriously Rachel, what happened was crazy and as bad as it is for Finn's mom, I really hope he learns his lesson."
At which point Artie focuses on Quinn, "Do you know if she's okay?"
Rachel feels Quinn's hand tense but before she can do anything the blonde is shaking her head slowly and quietly saying, "Can she really ever be? Her son is facing some pretty serious charges...how do you think she's doing?"
Artie and Tina nod their heads solemnly not quite knowing what to say in reply. Quinn takes a breath and shrugs trying to release some of the tension, "She's apologized for him though on his behalf. Which is pretty unnecessary, she has nothing to be sorry for."
Artie pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose and nods his head in understanding, "She feels responsible though. He's her son. As awful as the situation is and as free thinking Finn acted, she still believes it to be her responsibility to clean up after his mistakes."
After a beat of silence he clears his throat and gives them both smiles, "We'll catch you later. I'm gonna wheel Tina to class."
Rachel waves them off and then quickly turns to face Quinn, gently taking hold of her hand and pulling her towards an empty classroom.
"Rachel you're going to be late."
The brunette simply pushes her into a sitting position in one of the chairs and quickly follows by situating herself in her lap, facing her, wrapping her arms around her neck.
Hazel eyes widen as her arms wrap around the tiny brunette's waist on their own accord.
"Hi."
Quinn blinks and swallows, suddenly feeling as if her throat had gone completely dry, "Hi." She manages to just whisper out.
