The princess and the player

15

The bell rang and Quinn made her way to her locker to get her things before leaving school for the day. She isn't surprised when she sees Puck approaching her.

'What was that?' Puck asked the girl. 'Since when are you and Hudson dating?'

'We're not.' She tells him. 'I didn't even know that he was going to ask me.'

'But you still said yes.'

'It's not like anyone else was going to ask me.' She said harshly. Subtlety dropping the hint that she wanted him to ask her.

'He's using you, you know.' He said as a matter of fact.

'And how is he doing that? Quinn asked looking at the boy. She hates to admit it, but she really likes Puck being jealous,

'He's obviously just trying to make Rachel regret breaking up with him. He's using you.'

'You're being ridiculous.' She says muster a laugh.

'And you're being naive.' He argues.

'What is your deal Puckerman?' She asked slamming her locker shut.

'What do you mean?'

'Are you jealous of Finn? That I'm going to prom with him.'

'N-No.' He stuttered. He definitely was.

'Fine!' Quinn declares, not in the mood to start a pointless argument.  She rolls her eyes and walks past him. He pulls her back. 'What?'

He doesn't say anything. They just look at each other. Quinn waits for him to tell her not to go to prom with Finn, waits for him to say something. Anything. 'I'm not jealous.'

'Then stop acting like my boyfriend.'

'I'm not-'

'Yes, you are!' Quinn exclaimed. He was so frustrating. 'You're jealous, and being over protective. That's what boyfriends do, and you are not my boyfriend.'

'Right.' He scoffed. 'I'm just your dirty little secret.'

She rolled her eyes. 'Don't you dare act like I'm the only person in this.' She was yelling by now. It was a good thing that there was no one in the hallway. 'I'm your secret too. We had an agreement. An agreement that no one would find out about us.'

'Well that agreement sucks.'

'It does?' She scoffed. 'Fine. We're done.'

'Done?'

'The sneaking around, the sex. It's done. We're done.'

'Good.' Puck shrugged. 'I hope Hudson doesn't ditch you for Berry again.'

'You're an asshole.' Quinn scoffed. She desperately has to blink away the tears that want to form in her eyes. 'I hate you.' She bites harshly.

'Yeah? I hate you too.' He says equally as harsh.

They've said that they hate each other a lot in the past.

This is the first time they've ever actually meant it.
