Different worlds

Chapter 23

Friday the day after Rachel and Quinn had their fight, the blonde was just not in a good mood at all. Everything that happened yesterday, not just with Rachel but the reason why she was absent from school and wanted to be by herself, she was just utterly exhausted, only mentally though. During lunch she didn't feel like being at McKinley and because she was only a sophomore she wasn't allowed to leave the school grounds... But Quinn isn't a person to stick to school rules when she's not feeling well, so she asked Hayley if they could skip out for lunch. Hayley being a senior has the privilege of lunch outside of campus, the head cheerleader was actually planning to spend some time with her senior friends but when Quinn confronted her, she knew something was up with her best friend, so immediately said yes to her and cancelled with her senior friends. Hayley didn't ask what was wrong with Quinn, but she obviously knew something was up, the blonde wasn't at school the day before and Quinn didn't contact any of her friends to let them know why she wasn't and she wasn't hanging out with Rachel... Something big must have happened, so the brunette was just going to be there for her best friend like Quinn was there for her.

After lunch, Quinn asked Hayley if she could speak to coach Sylvester and let her get a permission slip to not attend class but spend her time on the athletic field, it was granted of course, so Quinn spent the afternoon running around the track.

Just before Glee started the blonde had a hot shower to soothe her hot muscles and then changed back into her cheerleading uniform and walked down the hallway. On her way to Glee she noticed a Jock walking up to Kurt with a Big Quench in his hands, she shook her head knowing what was about to happened, and the way the blonde was feeling it didn't help the Jock at all, she power walked up to the boy and grabbed the blue slushy out of his hand, slipping a little on the floor.

"Hey," the Jock yelled.

Quinn didn't even listen; she was already boiling with anger and threw the slushy right in his face... There were gasps all around the hallway... This was the first time Quinn had ever thrown a slushy at anyone in this school. She's stopped many but she never retaliated. Kurt turned around from his locker and realized what just happened, Quinn saved him from a slushy facial.

"Go fucking pick on someone your own size... You piece of shit... The only reason you go after certain people is because you know that they aren't physically strong enough to go up against you... You coward!" Quinn yelled. Everyone that was looking were all sporting saucer eyes... No one has ever seen Quinn like this. The Jock didn't say anything, he just continued to stare at the blonde, Quinn just turned and stormed down the hallway, hands on her hips, HBIC stare in place.

"Quinn?" Kurt whispered when the blonde walked past him. The blonde turned and her facial features changed to a soft, kind, sweet face, "Don't mention it, Kurt," Quinn said as she walked by, then quickly turning around and added, "I wouldn't want that coat of yours to be ruined by a slushy... It looks like you spent quite a lot of time making it... You have a talent, Kurt." Then she finally turned to leave. Everyone watching her walk down the hallway alone.

Once Quinn finally got to Glee, she saw most of the members whispering, and then silence fell when they noticed the blonde in the room. Quinn ignored it, knowing that they were talking about her, but she honestly didn't care. The blonde walked over and sat next to Rachel who was surprised when she saw her girlfriend take a seat next to her, the brunette looked over at her girlfriend and forced a smile on her lips, "Hi, Quinn..." Rachel whispered out.

Quinn didn't look at her girlfriend, all she did was whisper out a, "Hi," and then focused on her phone. The blonde had a lot of time to think of what occurred between the two last night, and she honestly wasn't upset with the brunette, she was more upset with herself... But that didn't mean she could wipe what happened between the two of them under the carpet, she needed to tell Rachel what happened yesterday and why she was absent, and why she has been distant... She didn't want to talk about it but she knew she had to and Rachel deserved to know, and Quinn did tell Rachel that she was going to try and open up more. So the blonde moved her hand over and embraced it with her girlfriends, it might have been one of the hardest things she has had to do... To drop your pride like that and look at the big picture... Words weren't expressed between the two, but they both squeezed their embraced hands.
