Quinn Fabray frowned at her reflection in the mirror, running a hand through her now pink hair. "No," She spoke suddenly, "I did this for a reason. No more goody goody. This is the new and improved Quinn" She grabbed her eyeliner and made it darker around her eyes. She nodded at her reflection and sighed, walking out of the bathroom towards glee club. She loved it, oh so much, but she couldn't be in it anymore. It had changed her far too much. She walked in, smirking as all eyes turned to her. Soaking in the attention and loving the gasps, she stood in front of them.

"Listen up losers, im out. This is my last glee club, love it while you can" She sat down and picked at her thumb. She loved getting the rise out of all of them- especially Finn and man hands. Schue reluctantly started class and Quinn glanced around, noticing Artie looking at her. Quinn looked down. She liked Artie he was sweet. There wasn't really a way to not like the kid, but the way he was looking at her was like he could read her mind. It freaked her out.

Artie watched Quinn with a slight frown. He could tell something was up with her. This wasn't her. She might have a shell, but he knew if you broke down that wall, there was a sweet girl. She just needed someone to break it down for her. Artie sighed and looked around the room. Finn and Rachel couldn't.

Rachel would try, but it wouldn't work. He knew Quinn blamed her for too many things.

Santana didn't care that much, he even noticed her checking Quinn's new look out with a approving smile.

Brittany was too wrapped up in Santana and hers new relationship, and she was a bit too clueless to even notice something was up with Quinn.

Puck…well, he was puck. Besides, as long as Lauren was okay, he was good. Lauren…she just didn't care.

Tina and Mike…well, Tina didn't notice really. Mike could, but Artie could tell he wouldn't do anything about it. Artie turned his attention back to Quinn and smiled slightly. Yeah, this was going to be his job.

Quinn stood as the bell rang, rolling her eyes as couples walked out hand in hand. She started to walk out, stopping suddenly as Artie wheeled in front of her. She sighed, hesitating to be mean to him.
"Quinn?" Artie spoke, looking up at her.

Quinn sighed, he sounded so sweet, and even though new and improved Quinn would have said something mean and left, she just couldn't find it in her to do it.

"What Artie?" She replied softly, reading the worry on his face. Why was he worried?

"Can I talk to you?"

"You kind of already are"

"Oh…right"

Quinn sighed, seeing the embarrassment on his face. "How bout we go out to the court yard? We can be face to face"

Artie smiled; "Yeah, lets do that" Quinn nodded and started pushing him outside, glad they didn't talk on their way out.

It was weird. Artie seemed like he actually cared. Quinn barely got that anymore. Rue Paul kind of did sometimes, but most of the time it seemed as though she was only doing it so she could get something out of it…something for glee club.

She stopped his wheelchair on sat down on the bench, facing him. She crossed her legs and leaned back, waiting for him to start. She looked at him after a minute. She sat up and looked at him, knowing that's what he was wanting. He spoke softly; the words making tears threaten to fall. She listened for a minute, fighting them back. She shook her head, standing up and running back into the school. Of all kids, wheels had to be the one to figure out what she needed.

Hi!

Okay, I know this is kind of short but the next chapter will be longer I promise :)

Also, the ending seems odd, but the begining of chapter two will be what Artie said and why she reacted like she did.

So, yeah! Please review! And thank you for reading. I hope you liked it! 3
