You and Me

Chapter 1

As Quinn's mother drove her to her new school, Quinn looked at herself in the car mirror. She smoothed out her blonde hair that fell just below her shoulders, and adjusted her blue patterned dress. Quinn was both excited and nervous for her first day of school. Granted it was the first day of school for everyone, but this was her first day at McKinley. Starting over was always scary, but it's also freeing. As her mom turned into the lot, she spotted the only person she knew, Brittany, who was waiting for her by the front doors, just like she said she would. Quinn met Brittany this past summer at cheerleading camp. She had just moved to Ohio at the end of May and camp started in June. Quinn and her parents agreed that camp would be a great way to meet people before school started.

"Good luck on your first day! You're going to do great, love you!" Quinn's mom said as the car came to a stop in front of the building.

"Love you too mom, see you later." Quinn stepped out of the car and headed straight for Brittany who was smiling and waving at her.

"Hey, Quinn! How are you?" Brittany greeted excitedly.

Quinn took in her surroundings of all the people scattered in and out of the school, "I'm good, ready to start the first day."

"Good! Here let me see your schedule so I can see if we have classes!"

Quinn pulled out her phone and scrolled to a photo of her schedule and handed it to Brittany. After Brittany examines it, she handed Quinn back her phone with a smile. "We have 1st, 3rd and 7th together! And lunch too."

Quinn lit up, relieved she knew someone in some of her classes already. "Great! Now not to be a total newbie, but would you mind showing me where my locker is?"

Brittany giggled, "No problem."

The two of them walked into school and through the crowded hallways filled with people waiting for the day to start. Brittany walked Quinn to her locker, and then told her that she would meet her again before class, before she went to her own locker which was just down the hall.

As Quinn stood by her locker, putting her bag away, a group of people walking down the hall together caught her attention. There was a guy with a mohawk, a blonde guy with big lips, an Asian girl, a thin tall brunette with a hat, and finally, a beautiful Latina walking in the center of them. Quinn watched as the group made their way down the hall, talking and laughing. She couldn't take her eyes off the Latina, though. The girl was beautiful and her smile could light up a room.

As the group was about to pass Quinn, the Latina and her made eye contact. The Latina gave Quinn a smile as she walked past, which Quinn returned. While Quinn finished putting her bag away and taking out the correct notebooks, she thought about how pretty the Latina was. She was wearing a tight black shirt with a purple jacket over it, and a tight black skirt with knee high black boots.

"Hey Quinn. Ready to head to class?" Brittany asked as she approached, books in hand.

"Yep." Quinn replied.

Brittany and Quinn walked into their first period class together, history. There were only a couple other people in the room when they arrived, so they sat down to the right side of the back row. As they waited for the bell to ring, they chatted and watched who else came in the door to see if they knew anyone else. Quinn figured out that Brittany knew a lot of people so she assumed she was popular. The seats around them started to be filled which meant class was starting soon. But then in walked the tall brunette from before, with the beautiful Latina behind her. The tall brunette took an open seat in the third row all the way to the left and gestured for the Latina to sit in the open seat directly in front of her. Quinn watched as the Latina made her way over to the brunette, when for the second time that morning, she and the Latina made eye contact. They smiled at each other again, only this time, both their smiles were a little bit bigger.
