Four ; This doesn't look like a small party to me.

Quinn, Michael, Kristen, and Calum hung out at the student center for a few more hours, simply just talking amongst themselves, jamming out to music, and stuffing their faces with food from the vending machine down the hall. They reluctantly agreed that they would go get ready for the small party at the Jefferson dorms, then meet back up before the party to walk in together.

Kristen and Quinn shared a dorm together, as did Calum and Michael, and they all walked back towards the dorms together before parting ways. The boys headed off towards the Washington dorm building while the girls went towards the Keller dorms. 

They walked in a comfortable silence, but something was bothering Quinn. She knew she had to tell Kristen about what happened earlier that day, because she told her best friend everything. She also knew that Michael would probably end up telling Calum, who would end up telling Kristen.

Quinn sighed softly, knowing that Kristen would find out either way. "Kris, guess what happened today?" she mustered up the courage.

"What?" Kristen replied, turning to glance at her best friend.

Quinn fumbled with her fingers nervously and glanced down at the sidewalk. "Today at the café, something kinda weird happened.." she trailed off, coughing slightly. "What, you actually had to talk someone that wasn't just us?" Kristen chuckled. 

"No! Well, yeah, but it's not that," Quinn laughed, shaking her head before turning serious again. "Someone tried to hit on me."

Kristen raised an eyebrow and stopped in place, turning to fully look at Quinn. "You mean..?" Her facial features fell slightly.

Quinn nodded sadly. "Yeah. Him."

Kristen frowned and embraced Quinn in a hug. "Aw, babe, I'm sorry. He's awful. I've known that ever since he started dating Kaylee," Kristen shivered, thinking of her older sister's ex-boyfriend. 

"It's alright. I know, I thought of her the whole time," Quinn rolled her eyes as the two began walking again. "So, what happened?" Kristen asked softly, her eyes full of pity. 

The two had always known about Luke. Ever since they met Michael, he warned them of his actions, and they always tried to lay low so nothing bad would happen to them. But, once Kaylee caught Luke's attention, Kristen and Quinn got more of an insight to how Luke acted. 

He apparently was rejected by Kaylee at first, but then started acting like he liked a band that she loved, and lured her in. Kaylee actually thought he liked her and felt special, but realized it was all just a trick so he could take her to bed.

"Well, he asked who I was and how he's never seen me before," Quinn and Kristen chuckled together. "And he mentioned hanging out sometime and I just said no and left. Of course, he ran after me, but I still said no and was as sarcastic as possible." Quinn sighed and crossed her arms across her stomach, as if giving herself a hug. 

Kristen sighed as well. "Have you told Michael?" she asked curiously, watching Quinn sympathetically.

Quinn nodded. "Before you and Calum showed up, yes. I just wanted to tell you alone. Mikey will probably end up telling Calum, anyway."

"Oh, Quinn," Kristen stopped them in place to hug her again. Both of them knew that the next couple of weeks would be tough, and that they would have to lay low and out of sight. They knew Luke Hemmings would stop at nothing to keep his ego.
