I Feel Pretty When You're Around

Chapter 11

The next week after Quinn serenaded Rachel was Prom week, so all students were hyped up about it. Gossiping going on through the halls, people wondering who would take who and of course the talking about who would be Prom Queen. Both Quinn and Santana had withdrawn from running, Quinn withdrew just after she broke up with Finn, and Santana withdrew last week, the day after she was on 'Fondue for Two'.

The days since everyone found out about Santana's sexuality had been hard for the Latina. Yes basically everyone in the school had their thoughts that she was a lesbian but it was never confirmed, so once Santana confirmed all those rumors then most of the Cheerios and Jocks used it against her by trying to humiliate her. But Santana never once gave in to them; she still was basically the HBIC in the school even though she was no longer a Cheerio. And she was still doing the 'Bully Whips' with Karofsky so that did help the girl out with all the criticism she was receiving. The Latina was still living at the Fabray residence, Judy telling Santana that she could have the guestroom for as long as she wanted. Brittany had also been helping her out, once Santana told the blonde what happened between her and her parents the blonde was distort, but no matter what, she was there for the Latina.

Quinn on the other hand was more than okay, it did hurt her seeing the repercussions that her best friend was facing but she was also pleased that her mother had really stepped up and been the mother that she always wanted her to be. Quinn and Rachel hadn't really had any progress since she sang to the brunette, as the blonde was helping Santana out and Rachel knew that.

Rachel on the other hand was overwhelmed with what Quinn said to her last week. The two girls really hadn't had time to talk about Quinn confessing her feelings to Rachel the week before because Quinn was wrapped up in helping Santana out, but also Rachel was still trying to get her mind around it. She couldn't believe that she was the person that the blonde liked. She had to admit that she always had been attracted to the ex-head cheerleader... Hello who wouldn't be... Quinn Fabray was beautiful. Although the brunette may be attracted to the blonde, it had been a slow process for her to build trust for said blonde. For what Quinn did to her before they were friends, to having the blonde apologize to her not even a month ago, to trying to build some trust for Quinn, was honestly difficult for the diva. Yes she is a person who forgives people quite easily but it's hard for the brunette to let people be trusted. But with that said Quinn Fabray has been really trying to build up that trust... Which the brunette could see, so Rachel has been slowly coming around to put her trust in the ex-head cheerleader.

There was also another problem that had been hard for Rachel through these last couple of weeks, and that problem started last week, the week of The Muckraker... And that problem was Finn. The blonde had no idea that this was happening, Rachel didn't want Quinn and her to have a fall out, so she never told the blonde, and it wasn't Rachel's fault she wasn't the one that initiating it, Finn was. It all happened on the day when Quinn and Santana ditched after lunch; Finn came up to the brunette after Glee... With that said...

Flashback:

"Hey Rach, do you have a minute... I was wondering if we could talk," Finn asked once all the other Glee members left the choir room. The brunette really didn't want to say yes because she wanted to talk to Quinn to make sure Santana was okay, but Rachel Berry wasn't a rude person so she thought to be polite.

"All right Finn, what was it you were after?" Rachel asked while sitting back down in one of the chairs.

Finn came and sat in a chair next to Rachel.

"Well Rach, I know we haven't been speaking much lately but I want to ask if maybe you wanted to hang out sometime?"

Rachel knew the meaning behind 'hang out sometime' and was honestly appalled that Finn didn't have the decency to properly ask her out. "Finn, may I ask what you mean by hanging out because right now you could classify this as hanging out."
