Chapter 1
Finn Hudson wore a goofy smirk as he strode the halls of McKinley High, fingers intertwined with a particularly smug-looking brunette to his right.
Quinn couldn't help but glare at the happy couple as they walked past her locker, not even bothering to take a second to acknowledge her existence. Disgusting.
Miss Fabray was not amused. Not one bit.
Ever since Finn left her for Berry, her popularity had gone down the drain. As if the Glee Club hadn't done enough of that.
And slowly, but surely, Berry had managed to acquire the popularity Quinn once had when she was the one by Finn's side.
Although Rachel wasn't the most liked character in the school, she was definitely known. But that's not what bothered her.
Finn pecked his girlfriend on the lips before departing.
That was what bothered her. The kisses, the hugs, it was nauseating.
Quinn fumed in envy. She gritted her teeth.
"Whoa. Take it easy, girl. What's got you so worked up?" Santana broke Quinn from her thoughts.
"Hmm?" Quinn was still dazed.
"You're practically foaming from the mouth."
"I'm fine."
"If you say so..." Santana shrugged.
Quinn took one last look at Finn. Oh, how badly she wanted to...strangle him.
To wrap both her hands around his neck and choke him to death.
To stab a knife through his chest, taking Berry for herself -
And that's when it hit her.
It wasn't Berry that Quinn was dangerously jealous of. It was Finn.
Quinn slammed her locker closed and raced toward the exit of the school at a furious pace.
No, she thought. This can't be right.
Her mind raced at one hundred miles per minute. Closing her eyes, she tried to push away the strange newfound thoughts that circled around in her head.
Breathe, Fabray. Breathe.
Quinn inhaled and ran her hands through her hair. Trying to keep a steady breathing rate, she sat down on the school's steps, burying her head in her hands.
It's no big deal, Q. You're just sleepy. She reassured herself.
Yeah, that's it. You didn't get enough sleep last night, so you can't think clearly. Quinn took a deep breath and exhaled.
"I'm fine," Quinn whispered to herself. "I'm fine."
