somethin' stupid

season 1 episode 5

IN GLEE CLUB...

since Rachel left, mr schuester had to reassign the don't stop solo to sing with finn and i'm just surprised he chose me. i mean, quinn would've been a great choice. she can sing like an angel

as we get to the chorus, quinn sprints out of the room. leaving all of us confused

"is she okay?" i ask but instead of waiting for a response, i run after her to the bathroom. that's what best friends do. especially when they need to know why one best friend has been around the other best friend's boyfriend recently

i hear her throwing up in the handicapped stall when i walk in

"quinn??" i ask, opening the door slightly "are you okay?"

"yeah. i just had a bad breakfast burrito i think." she wipes her mouth with a piece of toilet tissue and stands up

i follow her to the sink as she washes her hands and i stare at the two of us in the mirror

"okay. i hope you feel better" i stare down at my white sneakers thinking of what to say, making awkward conversation was definitely not it

when i get back to the choir room, kurts already talking about rachel

"we can't do it without her" he mutters

"that's not true" mr schuester says "we may have to layer santana, mercedes over dani's solo but. we'll be fine"

"maybe for invitationals but not for sectionals" artie butts in "definitely not for regionals"

"the wheelchair kids right" puck says "that rachel chick makes me wanna light myself on fire but she can sing"

"rachel left guys" mr schuester says, obviously annoyed "she's gone. now if we're gonna make this thing work. we can't look back." he says. "whatever take five"

as the glee club mingles and i turn to santana, i see out of the corner of my eye: finn walking up and having a secret conversation with mr schue

I lean over in my seat, my elbows on my knees and my hands holding my jaw

"I just don't get why he's acting so secretive"

"maybe because he doesn't want you to know something" Brittany says

"well, I really wish that he would tell me whatever's going on because it's killing me" i mutter

"you should either ask him or stop over analyzing things. I think you're being a little extreme honestly D" Santana says

I really don't like it when Santana's right, but she does have a point.

I stand up out of my seat and walk out of the choir room abruptly, going for a walk around school to clear my mind

as i'm walking, I see Rachel in a room with Jacob Ben Israel aka the most annoying kid on the planet

it looks like he's interviewing her but she's got this look- a look of pure anger on her face

I catch Rachel's eye and she waves at me and I wave back at her through the glass

"we miss you!" I mouth even though I'm just being sympathetic for her, or for the glee club's sake

i continue my walk for another five minutes and then I head back to the choir room to wait for a minute until the bell rings

THE NEXT DAY...

We all get to glee club and there's some older lady standing in front of all the chairs

I take my seat next to Finn reluctantly and he wraps his arm around me
