"Getting ready for the tranny prom, Yentl?"
"You looks so depressing, I might actually be dead right now."
The two girls teased; cornering the argyle wearing Rachel Berry near the lockers, covered and dripping ice with red dye number 6.

"You know Rachel, you should really get into a 12 step program." said the brunette, pushing the edge of the books in the smaller girls arms and causing it to drop and scatter all over the wet floor,"She's right. You're addiction to argyle is alarming." the blonde cheerleader said. The smaller brunette looked about ready to cry but she kept it back with a loud gulp.

"What's going on here?!" a mohawked boy stepped in between the cheerleaders and the tiny brunette, "What the hell, Quinn?" he asked without looking, leaning down and wiping red juice off of the girls face. Quinn stepped back and looked at the couple, opening her mouth to speak and then closing it again; Santana sensing her friends predicament spoke up quickly,

"Noah! so glad you're back, I haven't seen hair that awful since Trouty went through that cornrows period. I thought you had gotten lost in this here Hobbit's treasure trail." Placing her hand on the mohawked boy's shoulder which he quickly shrugged away,

"stop being mean to Rachel, she's hasn't done anything to you." he said firmly, puffing up his chest and challenging the two cheerleaders, Quinn deflates and Santana looks at Rachel who was looking at their feet. "We're friends, or at least we were. so please, leave her alone." he added, his voice betraying him. Quinn's breath hitched and Santana was quick to cover for his friend.

"I'm trying." She says, causing all eyes to stare at her in disbelief
"Santan-" Rachel started
"But your Schnozz and your animal sweaters are provoking me." Just then, four guys wearing lettermen jackets rounded the corner and stopped right behind the two cheerleaders, the tallest one stopping right behind Quinn and wrapping an arm arouns Quinn's shoulder. "Hey babe." he says gently, "hey." the blonde replies, holding on to the jock's arm.
"Finn." said the brunette
"Santana"
"Azimio. Sam. David." She greeted the other three
"Santana." they all said together, "do we have a problem here?" said the tall blonde
"Back down Sam." David warned before turning to Puck and Rachel, "Puck."
"Karofsky."
"How's life off of the football team treating you?"
"Just peachy. and you?"
"Never better. Is Berry giving it to you good, Puckzilla?" he asked with a sneer as Santana laughed loud
"No." Puck answered but before anyone could react he quickly added "but that's way better than a girlfriend who sleeps around." looking directly at Santana.

M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M&M

"SUSPENSION?! You've got to be kidding me?!"
"We do not condone violence in this school, Ms. Lopez!"
"He called me a SLUT!"
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!" David defended
"Shut up Karofsky!"
"Make me, Puckerman!" he challenged, standing right in front of the mohawked teen
"What are they even doing here?" Puck asked the principal, "You were all involved in whatever was happening in that corridor." Mr. Figgins answered
"I'm here to make sure my girlfriend doesn't get her hands dirty again from touching you."
"News flash, Goliath. She already did, over and over and ov-"
"BOYS!" the Principal says firmly, standing between the two boys; pushing them apart.
"Look, Mr. Figgins, I didn't mean to hit him."
"What?" Puck reacted loudly, "you slapped me." he added causing David, Sam, Azimio and Finn to laugh.
"Yeah she did" Azimio snickered, "she slapped you good." David added
Sam turned to a smiling Finn, "He got rude boxed." causing the four boys to laugh under their breaths
"Silence." the principal said loud and slow effectively shutting up the jocks.

"Mr. Figgins, I really didn't mean to hit him. When I'm around assholes, Santana gets taken over by my other evil personality. I call her Snix. Her wrath of words is called Snix Juice. I'm kind of like the Incredible Hulk. You can't blame me for anything Snix does."
"I'm sorry, Santana. But the board is already breathing down my neck after the whole slushie incident between Sebastian and Blaine"
"What does that have to do with me?" The brunette asked
"If I let you go with a warning after physically hurting Mr. Puckerman-"
"I wasn't THAT hurt." Puck injected
"-That would make me look like I'm condoning violence and bullying."
"Is that why you let those hockey guys who constantly bully Kurt walk around this school? Is that why Sebastian was never reprimanded for almost blinding another student? Why is this all falling on me? and where the hell is Berry? She was there when I slapped Skunk Hair, why does she get off so easily?"
"I'm sorry Santana, but until Mr. Puckerman drops the complaint against you, you are under 3-day suspension. Effective Immediately."

Puck turned to Mr. Will Schuester, Coach of the Glee Club for several seconds, "Principal Figgins, If I may?" The coach asks
"Yes, Schue?"
"Noah informed me that he will drop that complaint..."
"He will?" Santana, David, Finn, Sam and Quinn said altogether; Quinn speaking for the first time
"IF..."
"Aw hell." Santana reacts, throwing her hands up and letting it fall to her sides
"IF... Her and Quinn rejoins the Glee club."
Everyone was dead silent, "What does this have to do with me?" Quinn asks, looking at Mr. Schue
"We need to get 3 more members before we can compete for sectionals, Since you and Santana left with Finn we haven't found anyone else." Puck explained
"We lost 2 of our best female vocals and our Glee captain." Mr. Schue explained
"That's your fault, Mr. Schue." Quinn argued, standing up from her chair, "who wouldn't leave a club that's being led by someone determined to keep you in the background? Who protects his biggest star from issues like this?" Quinn said, motioning all over the room, "All of us are here, why isn't she?"
"You're right, Quinn and I'm so sorry but things are changing now, I promise."
"Really? Where's Rachel? It looks exactly the same if you ask me." Quinn crossed her arms and looked away from the curly-haired teacher.

Santana knew the real reason Quinn didn't want to come back to the Glee club, it wasn't because of the spotlight or the solos. No. It was because of Rachel Berry and Noah Puckerman; Quinn is in love with the ex-jock and seeing him with her mortal enemy was just too much. As much as the brunette cheerleader didn't want to be suspended and as much as she wanted to go back to the Glee club; even if it is to sing back up, she just could not put her best friend through that kind of pain again. She turned to the Principal slowly and let out a huff, "Principal Figgins." She started, Quinn staring at her gauging what her reaction will be, "Mr. Schue, thank you for the offer..." she started and the teacher nodded his head and smiled a tight smile, "but if I'm gonna be suspended for violence, I don't think I should be saved by blackmail, what do you think Principal Figgins?" she asked, turning to look at the principal

"Mr. Lopez, I assure you that what Mr. Schuester is offering is not blackmail, he is merely saying that-"
"I disagree."
"Santana..." the glee teacher started but the brunette put her hands out to interupt him.
"You told me you'd have me SUSPENDED if Quinn and I didn't come back to your sinking ship and sing our kumbaya's with Lady Hobbit and Skunk Boy over here."
"that's not-"
"THAT SOUNDS a lot like blackmail to me, what do you think Quinn?" Quinn knew better, Santana wasn't looking for an answer, she was looking to prove a point, So she decided to nod.
"So Sebastian and Rick can walk around the school terrorizing Lady Lips but I get suspended for slapping Van Halen here calling me a slut?"
"But-"
"Because all I wanted was to defend myself but I guess no one can see that since there's an insane double standard at this school."
The fiery cheerleader finished, turning around and walking out the office.
"That was hot." David mumbles under his breath before walking out with the other jocks, leaving Quinn, Mr. Schue, Puck and Principal Figgins in the room, the blonde cheerleader turned to leave but was stopped by Puck grabbing her arm, "Quinn, you kow that's not what we meant, we just want you guys back in Glee. We miss you."
Quinn looked like a deer caught in headlights for a second but quickly tugged her arm away from the boy, "Why should I believe you, Noah? You've lied to us before, why wouldn't you lie to us now? You need us to win sectionals. That's it. This isn't about family or any of that bullshit." She said, anger bubbling in her veins.

"You know that's not true." Puck defended
"Do I?" the blonde said, her voice cracking, "Thank you for your time." She says to the two teachers before turning around and speed-walking out the door, leaving the 3 boys in the office, "Santana! wait!" they heard,
Figgins let out a loud sigh, "Glad that's over, the two of you can leave now I have to attend some Parents Meeting, apparently they found out we've been serving prison food. Gotta keep those parents happy!" the principal says grimly, watching the two boys leave the office.
"We tried." Will said lowly, patting Noah's shoulder and walking him to a waiting Rachel.
"How was it?" Rachel asked, her voice smaller than ever
The two boys simply shook their heads with Mr. Schue walking straight into his office, leaving the two in the choir room

"You shouldn't have called her that, Noah."
"I know, I just got angry."
"What do we do now? They won't come back and we won't be able to compete since we don't have enough voices."
"It's gonna work out, it has to."
"How?"
"I don't know, okay?" Puck started pacing the room, "But I do know one thing."
"What is it?"
"I gotta get back in the football team, to protect you."
"How exactly are you going to do that, Noah? They all hate you."
"I have a plan."
