I Feel Pretty When You're Around

Chapter 10

Quinn drove Santana to school the next day, the blonde didn't want the Latina to be by herself for even a second so once they got to school she accompanied Santana to her locker. While on the way to the girl's locker they were given stares by most of the school, and also a lot of whispers. Luckily for Quinn, Santana had stuffed her feelings inside and had her HBIC face on, so whoever looked their way both Quinn and Santana gave them a look that would kill. Brittany was at the Latina's locker with a smile on her face, last night Quinn asked Santana if she wanted Brittany to come around, but the girl made it clear that she didn't want Brittany to know yet, because if she saw the way that Santana looked last night it would have hurt her too much. So Brittany was oblivious to what happened to Santana last night, until both of the girls got closer to the tall blonde and then with one look into Santana's eyes Brittany knew straight away that something was wrong.

Brittany's first reaction was that Santana regretted what she did yesterday but as she continued to look into the Latina's eyes she knew it was something worse. "San, what's wrong?" Brittany asked nervously once the girls got to the Latina's locker.

Quinn knew it was time for her to depart so she gave Santana a reassuring look and then left to head to her locker. Once Quinn walked away from her two best friends she started to think about what she was going to do today for Rachel, she knew what song she was going to sing but she didn't really know what she was going to say to the small brunette. She definitely didn't want to scare her. Since the time the two girls started to become friends Quinn really didn't give the diva any indications that she had feelings for her, yes she flirted a little bit but that was it, and Quinn was about 99% sure that the diva flirted back. So Quinn was going to do this, she was Quinn Fabray after all and even if the brunette turned her down she would at least know that Rachel didn't feel that way about her, she didn't want to be one of those people that miss their opportunity by holding back their feelings and in three years time find out that Rachel did have feelings for her back then. And Quinn had already waited too long.

The day was a bit slow for the blonde, she couldn't really concentrate in class, and she hadn't seen the diva all day which was a surprise for Quinn. While the blonde was in her class before lunch she thought to text Rachel.

Q: Hey Rachel, meet me in the choir room for lunch? There's something I want to talk to you about.

About a minute later Quinn felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

R: Okay Quinn.

Quinn read the text and was shocked at how blunt the brunette was to her, but Quinn being Quinn shook it off and tried to focus on the last 20 minutes of class.

Once Quinn got to the choir room she saw that Rachel was already there looking through some sheet music, she walked over and sat down next to the diva.

"Hey," was all that Quinn said.

Rachel looked up to acknowledge that the blonde was there, she gave a small smile, "Hello Quinn."

Quinn sensed that something was up with the brunette so she thought to ask, "Are you okay Rach, you don't seem like yourself... You're reply to my text was a bit blunt."

"Actually Quinn, I'm not feeling okay today."

"What is it, can I help?"

"Actually yes, I want to know why you haven't been talking to me or hanging out with me much this week, I am a bit surprised... Have I done something? Or don't you want to continue this friendship... Is that why you asked me to come to the choir room today?" Rachel said looking down. This shocked Quinn, but as she came to think about it they haven't really spent much time together that week, the blonde started to feel horrible. Quinn had been too focused on the song she wanted to sing to Rachel, and the situation that happened with Santana.
