Quinn went over to Mercedes's locker after glee club.
"Hey, Cedes," she began awkwardly.
Oh my God, why am I so bad at talking to pretty girls? she thought, cringing.
Mercedes smiled.
"What's up, Q?" she said.
"Do you wanna go to the movies tonight?" Quinn asked.
"I mean, not as a date, obviously, because you're dating Sam. But we can go as friends. Because that's what we are, right? Friends. Not like best friends, but friends. I'm rambling now, ew, I hate myself."
Mercedes's smile grew even bigger.
"I think it's cute. And sure, I'd love to go to the movies with you!"
She closed her locker and walked away.

Quinn's brain short-circuited.
Did she just call me cute?
"Hey," Santana said, shoving her.
"We're already late for Cheerios, so stop standing there like a dope before
Coach Sylvester makes us run laps."
Quinn groaned and hurried to Cheerios practice.
But secretly, she would do a hundred laps just to hear Mercedes call her cute again.
