Chapter 1: The Boy with the Oversized Lips

"Just five more minutes please," she groaned as she hit the snooze button. It was the beginning of her junior year at McKinley and all she wanted was to go back to the summer vacation she spent relaxing. "It all went by so fast," she thought. After showering and finding an outfit she loved she headed for the bus.

She was decorating her locker with pictures of all her friends when Santana and Brittany ambushed her with tight hugs. "OMG you guys scared me dorks" she squealed. "I love scaring you Q," Santana said. "How was your summer break" Britt asked. "Uneventful, just relaxing, I swear I gained weight laying around all summer reading," said Quinn.

"Girl you are as thin as a twig," replied Mercedes walking up to them. "OMG" the three girls squealed hugging her. "Can't breathe," huffed Mercedes. "Sorry we're just exited to be back," said Quinn as the three girls looked at her with wide eyes. "Well the only part of school I love is seeing all of my Glee people," yelled Quinn. "Yeah I gotta agree with that," said Mercedes.

The girls all got caught up in conversations about summer when Quinn noticed out of the corner of her eye, a blonde boy walking through the hall passing the girls. "That's weird, I've never seen him before. Must be a freshman," she thought. She let it go and continued on conversing with the girls.

The bell rang and the girls were reminded that they had classes to attend. They all groaned but agreed to meet up during the break. Quinn made her way to third period. "You just have to sit through this Quinn, then you have break c'mon you can do this," she groaned and found a seat in class. "Hey Quinn," she heard as Puck made his way over to sit with her. "Hey Puck," she said with a smile. She always had a little crush on him since freshman year. With her being on the cheerios and him being such a football stud she couldn't help but swoon a little. They were real good friends so she knew she couldn't ruin her friendship with him over a little crush.

The class went by super slow. She was startled when the bell rang snapping her out of her daydreams. "Common lets go meet with the peeps," Puck said pulling her into the cafeteria. "Hey!" the glee members greeted them. Hugs and small happy dances were exchanged with everyone at the table. Finally the group of friends settled down and started talking about classes and summer activities. Quinn drowned out their chatter and she briefly scanned the cafeteria just to get a good view of what the new kids looked like. She started thinking about how cheerios practice was going to be and how she needed to get out of this summer vacation funk and start focusing in class, she wanted the best grades as always.

She saw him again he was walking by their table. The blonde scruffy hair, his toned arms, his over sized lips. She didn't catch herself staring as he walked by until he looked her straight in the eyes. She felt a breath catch in her chest and quickly looked back to the chattering group. Little did she know Finn was staring at her the whole time.

The bell rang and everyone gave each other hugs and made their way to class. As she walked into class she noticed Finn waving at her to sit by him. "Ugh," she grunted, but put a smile on sitting next to him. She didn't want to feel alone so she decided to put up with him. The bell rang indicating class was going to begin. The teacher stood up to begin the class when a student came running in class. Quinn looked up and held in a breath, she couldn't believe that he was in her class. She was embarrassed he caught her staring at him in the cafeteria so she just looked down at her desk while the teacher introduced him. "Welcome Mr. Evans, glad to have you, with us this year, McKinley has a lot to offer, you'll get settle in quite quickly I'm sure, now why don't you take that empty seat behind Ms. Fabray," the teacher said.

Quinn could feel her heart at her throat as he walked by. She smelled the cologne he was wearing that gave her a small shiver and goose bumps. She knew she wouldn't be able to concentrate as much in this class if he was just going to sit behind her the whole semester. "You can do this Quinn, don't let a boy throw you off your game. Boys may not like smart nerd girls that study and do all their homework, but if you want to get out of here you have to do well, you can do this Quinn," she told herself. Finn noticed she was struggling with something by the look on her face. "Calm down Q, it's only the beginning of the semester, he hasn't even assigned work yet, just relax," Finn told her. "Yeah I know, I'm just thinking of the workload to come, you know me already on my game," Quinn chuckled awkwardly. "Finn is never this sweet and nice to me," she thought, "He's usually awkward and makes me feel weirdly uncomfortable," she thought. "Weird, I'll talk to him about that later," she made a mental note.

The last bell of the day had rung as she made her way to the locker room. "It sucks Glee Club meets until the second day of school, but at least I have Cheerios today," she thought. "Alright sloppy babies! This is a new year, which means it's a new year to take the champion title for the 6th time this year! I know the team is in good hands with the girl I am appointing as head cheerleader this year, Q get over here!" Coach Sue shouted. Quinn made her way over and put on her HBIC face "Alright girls! If we want that title I want you all out on that field in 5 minutes to start those laps! Let's go!" she shouted as the girls dispersed and knew Quinn meant business.

Out on the field Quinn began running her laps letting her mind wander. "OUCH!" her body slammed into another person she didn't even see in front of her and she was now laying on top of that person. "OMG I'm so sorry!" shouted Quinn getting up quickly. She hadn't even noticed the person she had slammed into was the same boy she saw in the cafeteria and was in her class sitting behind her. She felt herself blush and offered a hand to the blue-eyed big-lipped boy. "It's okay," he said chuckling. "I'm so sorry, when I'm at practice I'm usually in my zone not really aware of my surroundings," Quinn said quickly. "It's fine I just hope I didn't hurt a pretty gal like you I'm sorry I didn't catch you name," he said, "Quinn, Quinn Fabray," she responded quickly. "Well Quinn Fabray, I'm Sam Evans, you better be watching were you're running next time, you'd think with those beautiful eyes you have you'd be able to see what's right in front of you," he said chuckling. She felt as if her cheeks were on fire "I said I was sorry Mr. Sam, I promise I will watch where I am going next time," she said quickly. "Okay well I gotta get back to this practice Quinn, I'll see you around!" he shouted running to the huddle of boys waiting for him at the center of the football field.

"Hopefully I will be lucky to see you around Sam Evans," she said to herself.

Hey guys, well this is my very first story. I don't know if I'm doing a good job or not. I kind of want this to go slow because I love fluff and angst. :) So yeah, hopefully I get readers. I'm already working on Chp 2 so I guess I'll see how this goes. :) Thank you if you read.
