Chapter One: Fierce Fabray

Quinn POV

I walked through the halls with my brave face on. I was back to being the super hot, untouchable cheerleader. Of course, after I had had the baby, I had worked though a lot of the summer, getting back in shape, which wasn't too hard, since I was basically tiny even before she gave birth. I was back to my old self. I just needed a man to show off.

I knew Puck definitely still loved me, but I couldn't go back to him, we weren't right for each other, Beth was the thing that held us together, and she was gone now. I thought back to yesterday, when Rachel had asked me to try and get with Finn. I knew he would say no, but half of me wanted in to say yes, because somewhere inside me, I knew I missed him. Of course, he rejected me, much to Rachel's content.

I guess, if I really needed to talk to someone, I should talk to Rachel, I mean, she deals with a lot, and though she is annoying, self important and dramatic, I admire the fact that she's held it together, kind of.

I find her with Finn at lunch; they are in a deep conversation, with Finn hugging her closer to him every few minutes.

"Rachel" I say, pulling them out of their conversation. "Can I speak to you?"

I know I look helpless now, I'm asking Rachel Berry, one of the girls I should hate, for advice.

"Um, of course Quinn" She says.

She then stands up and kisses Finn. I look away, because they are a bit to happy to deal with.

We walk outside and sit on the steps, where we had done that 'Empire State of Mind' performance, one of my favourites.

"So, Quinn, what's the problem?" She asks me, looking genuinely interested.

"Well... It's... boys" I answer, looking at my feet.

"Wait... Quinn Fabray, who can probably get any guy she wants, needs guy help from me, Rachel Berry... shouldn't this be the other way around?" She says, her eyes widening.

"I know, but, you've had Puck, Jesse and you still have Finn... how do you do it?" I ask.

"There's no secret way that I get boys to like me, it surprises me too, but I suggest never changing who you are for one" She advises me. "Find a new guy, like maybe that Sam guy, he would be kind of cute with you, if you ignore the huge mouth"

"Sam?" I say.

If you think about it, we would be cute together. His mouth isn't really that big, it makes him kind of cuter.

"Sam is actually kind of perfect for you..." Rachel says.

"Alright then" I say, smiling.

"Huh?" She says.

"Sam is exactly what I need, and maybe I can get him to join glee club too" I say, then out of happiness, I hug Rachel "You know, Berry, you aren't so bad" I say, before getting up.

As I leave, I see Rachel is still sitting there, smiling.

Sam POV

Quinn Fabray's locker was two down from mine. Her beautiful blonde hair was all I could see, until I noticed the mirror on her locker door. I looked into it, to find her gaze on me. What a surprise, I wasn't exactly an attractive guy, I was alright, but the really weird thing is that Puck had already made it obvious he loved her. Wouldn't she love him back?

After a few minutes, she smiled, closing her locker. I expected her to walk away, but instead, she turned around, walking towards me.

"Hey" She said "I'm Quinn Fabray, your Sam Evans right, you sang at glee club once"

"Hey, yeah" Was all I could manage.

"I can't believe you didn't try out, you were awesome" She said, looking up through her lashes in an irresistible way, was she flirting with me?

"I'm sure I'm not as good as you" I said, blushing.

"You should join" She said, touching my arm, it sent electricity through my body.

"I don't know, with football and everything, and I would need to practice a song before I just barge in there" I said, considering it.

"I could help" She offered, doing the eyelash look up thing again.

"That would be awesome" I said, giving my best smile.

"Meet me in the auditorium at lunch tomorrow, and give me your phone" She said, putting her tiny hand out.

"Why?" I said, dragging it out of my pocket and giving It to her.

"So I can do this" She pressed some buttons and her phone rang, she took it out and then pressed my phone back into my hand.

I looked up at it, and saw her name and number in my contacts. She typed something on her phone, sent it and then walked away, smiling. My phone buzzed in my hands, looking at the text she had sent me, I was amazed.

Quinn Fabray:

If you haven't noticed, I like you

I laughed and walked away, Quinn Fabray likes me, I thought, trying to realise it was real.

For the rest of the day, I was barely paying attention, thinking about tomorrow, what song should I pick? What should I wear? Was she even serious?

At the end of the day, Rachel Berry, one of the girls from glee club caught me before I left.

"Hey, I saw you with Quinn, and I just want to tell you, if you break her heart, I will get my boyfriend and the rest of the glee club to snap your neck, she's pretty fragile right now, so don't you dare ruin her life like every other guy has" She said, scaring me.

"I... I would never, she's so nice, how could... no, never" I said, barely answering back to her threat.

"You seem scared, fantastic, also, Finn says Hi" She said, and with that, she walked away, seemingly pleased with herself.
