I Feel Pretty When You're Around

Chapter 46

It's Graduation week for all of McKinley High seniors. Just after the Glee Club got back from Nationals Mr. Schue was awarded the Teacher of the Year, the New Directions performed a number on his behalf and each individually congratulating him with a celebratory hug and a thank you.

The Glee teacher was leaning up against the choir room door watching Rachel, Tina, Mercedes, Kurt and Artie re-perform their first ever number they did together as a group, 'Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat' to the other members of the New Directions. Once they finished Mr. Schue then walked in and walked over to his handy whiteboard and wrote 'Goodbye', he turned around to his students, "This week's assignment is easy. Graduation is just a few days away. There's nothing left to prepare for. Our work here is done, so there's only one thing left to do: Say goodbye. Underclassmen, pick some songs, to say goodbye to the seniors; seniors, pick a song to say goodbye to us."

"A part of me wants to lock these doors and stay in here with everyone forever," Mercedes said sadly.

"We can use the wastebasket for the toilet, and then we could eat Joe for the food, since she's been here the shortest, so we know her the least," Brittany said with a shrug of her shoulders looking over at the dreads boy, who was looking a little freaked out.

Quinn watched Mr. Schue grab his guitar, "I really hope you're about to rap." As much as she disliked when the man was going to rap to them she'd be lying if she said she wouldn't miss it.

Mr. Schue laughs, "No such luck. I'm leading by example here. This one... Is for you guys." He sits down on a stool and performs Rod Stewart's song 'Forever Young'.

Once Mr. Schue dismissed everyone, Rachel walked over to her girlfriend, "Seeing as we don't have any homework or exams left, did you want to spend the afternoon together?"

Quinn turned and smiled as she walked over and wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's waist, "I actually have somewhere I need to be."

Rachel pouted, "Where are you going?"

"I've asked Puck to come over tonight and I'm going to help him study." The blonde found out while they were at Nationals that the mohawk boy was failing one of his subjects which has resulted in him not being eligible to graduate. But luckily Coach Beiste had a word with Miss. Duesenberry and Puck's been given a second chance to sit another test.

The brunette smiled, "Did you want me to come join you two? I could be very useful."

Quinn chuckled and then shook her head, "I think it's best if I just help him, plus I'm assuming he'll want to bail and I've got something up my sleeve if he tries to run." Rachel nodded. "But you can come over tonight... Snuggle up and watch some movies in bed?" the blonde asked hopeful.

Rachel smiled and nodded, "Okay that sounds lovely."

"And you can stay. I don't have Cheerios practice in the morning." Seeing as the Cheerios won the National Cheerleading Championship last week, Sue has stopped all practices.

Rachel beamed and nodded, "I'll walk you to your car."

Quinn smiled, "Oh, so chivalrous."

The brunette giggled, "Well I've learnt from the best... Come on," Rachel said as she grabbed her girlfriend's hand and walked out of the choir room.

Quinn was at home watching TV downstairs before Puck was due to come over when she heard the front door slam and watched Santana angrily walk up the stairs. Confused, Quinn jumped up and followed her best friend up to the Latina's room. Santana slammed her door shut but the blonde quickly reopened it and saw Santana lying on her bed, faced down in the pillows. Quinn walked over to her best friend's bed and sat down.
