Rachel sat on the choir room smiling wide and brightly, she was late and that was kind of a shock for the rest of her classmates: Kurt was staring at her rather intrigued and Santana rolled her eyes when she appeared, as if she had been longing for Rachel not no show, then of course, that would never happen. Rachel Berry wouldn't miss a class for the life of it and there was no reason to miss Glee either.

However late Rachel was, she wasn t the last one to enter the room, the last one was indeed one Quinn Fabray and her newest and latest boyfriend: Finn Hudson. Well, it was her latest, not so much for her newest, given that Quinn and Finn had dated long before, and they ended up kind of on bad terms with the whole baby thing.

After Finn, Quinn dated Sam, after Quinn , Finn dated Rachel, while being with Finn ,Rachel briefly dated Puck, and today Finn was dating Quinn, Rachel wasn t dating at all, and Puck was dating the rest of the females in Lima, Ohio.

When Finn dumped Rachel and immediately went after Quinn, the diva had been devastated and everyone could tell. Quinn was actually pleased to see Rachel hurting, she really hated the girl, and Finn was pleased to see any girl longing for him, so Rachel s misery was not a problem.

Given the fact that Rachel did not have as many friends as one could think, she dealt with her sadness on her own, she had try to pour out her feelings to Kurt or Tina, but she was getting better at reading people and she knew almost immediately they weren't interested, so after one or perhaps two brief conversations that had led nowhere with both of them, she had remained silent about the whole deal.

Quinn and Finn had been dating for about a month now, and Rachel hadn't smile once since finding out, not once, not even a fake smile.

Quinn had noticed, perhaps she was the only one who noticed it. Rachel had stopped smiling almost thirty days ago, she realized it on day one, because Rachel s smiles were so wide and beautiful that Quinn knew immediately something was missing when they disappeared.

But today, when Quinn entered the room hand in hand with Finn, and Rachel did not flinch at the sight, her face fell, she had been gloating around the brunette for the complete month, and you could say it was the only reason she was dating Finn to begin with, seeing Rachel s reaction to it was the only thing that was making it worth to bear, so when Rachel seemed unaffected by the hand-holding, Quinn was shocked to say the least and more than upset. Actually the whole Glee club was shocked about it and they all share amuse looks between them.

An unaware Rachel got up as Mr. Schuester opened the door: "Mr. Shuester it's very nice for you to join us on this pleasant morning, I wanted to engage conversation with you because I was working on this song that I think is …"

Quinn heard no more, Rachel s voice was still in the background as her thoughts grew louder inside her head: " Why didn't t she flinch? Why was Rachel Berry all bouncing and smiling? And especially…WHY ON EARTH Rachel hadn t even notice her?"

"I think that is a terrible idea Rachel", Mercedes broke Quinn out of her own world and for a moment her eyes locked with Rachel s , she was about to turn away but for whatever reason she couldn't , Rachel did it for both of them, as she looked at Mercedes smiling once more " Okay , no problem" she said and went to sit down again.

Mercedes eyes grew wider than ever. "No problem? "She asked in utter disbelief.

"Yeah" Rachel answered simply while writing something on her notepad "It was just an idea, we can come up with others, better ones perhaps" she spoke calmly without lifting her eyes from her notepad and sounding almost indifferent to the rejection of her latest thought.

Quinn was out of her mind, she couldn't take it, what was wrong with the world!, not only was Rachel smiling, but now she acted as she had better things to do than to come up for ideas for Glee club? . Just to look at her you could see she was already focusing on whatever she was doing in that notepad, and she seemed so devoted to it that it made Quinn desperate to know what was she writing… or drawing, it seemed as Rachel was drawing rather than writing , whatever, she wanted to know.

Everyone was silent after Rachel s sudden change of attitude .

Mr. Schuester, some kind of surprise himself; finally clapped his hands while saying:

"Okay, let s get started then…"
