' Rachel. Quinn. Quick, change places with Santana and Brittany!' Mr. Shuesester burst into the room shocking everyone.
'I can't...' The girl looked horrified by the teacher's request for her wheelchair bonded self to swap seats with the girls sat on the stage above her.
'I'm sorry, Quinn... I meant that you and Rachel will be swapping lives with Santana and Brittany for our next assignment.'
'I'm sorry, did you just say we have to be Santana and Brittany?' Both Rachel and Quinn remained equally horrified about playing the role of the couple.
'Yes, Rachel. Is that a problem?' had his serious look on, meaning no one wanted to tell him how many steps past crazy this was, including Santana.
'Umm... No, I'm sure-' Rachel stuttered a reply, hoping a thought would come to mind as she spoke.
'Berry, if you don't close yo-' Santana began.
The girl sat next to her slapped her arm. 'Sanny, play nice.'
'Brit...' Santana whined, looking into her girlfriend's eyes didn't help though and she gave in. 'Okay, okay.'
'Santana, if I may?' Rachel had finally regained her composure.
The girl being questioned glanced for a look of approval to speak from the blonde sat next to her. 'Go ahead.'
'Are you okay with this, Quinn?' Rachel knew she had to tread lightly given the blonde's still shocked expression and her already emotional whirlwind.
'Wait, where's the Rachel Berry overly long wording of the question which would in no doubt include something about Broadway, NYADA or Barbara Straistand?'
'San, what did I say?' Brittany scolded the taller brunette.
She looked from Rachel to her girlfriend and bowed her head. 'Sorry, Berry.'
'Now that...whatever that was is over, can you tell the rest of us who we're swapping with, Mr. Shue?'
Quinn leaded as close to Rachel as her chair would allow as Mr. Shue told the class. 'Okay.' she whispered into her ear.
'I'm sorry Quinn?' Rachel felt Quinn's breath still on her neck and shivered.
'Okay. I'm okay with this.' she repeated.
'Oh, good.' Rachel's expression confirmed her delight if only for a spilt second until she realised she should not be happy about pretending to be the ex-cheerleader's girlfriend.
The former cheerleader caught it though. 'Are you okay?'
'I'm fine, Quinn, thanks.' She smiled confiming her mood before Finn suddenly moved on the other side of her
'You've got to be kidding me! I still get to be with Rachel, right?' Finn stood from his chair with anger sure on his red face.
'No, Finn. You're Kurt you have to act like you're Kurt. After the recent events which lead to Blaine transferring back to Dalton Academy I feel like it could help you all by knowing what it's like to be in other people shoes. As this is a much more difficult assignment than usual, you will have to stay in character for a month. However you will get Sundays to be yourself and dress in your own clothes.'
'You mean we have to dress like the other people too?' The only way to describe the look on Finn's face was disgust, the rest of the glee club ignored his dramatics.
'Yes, you are also expected to stay in character when out of school as well, I have talked with your parents and they have been informed on how you should be acting.'
'This should be interesting.'
'Alright, as of tomorrow the assignment will begin, it ends on Friday 1st June, the person who stays to character the best will win this trophy and will pick which two people have to stay in character for an extra week. Oh and also a meal for two at Breadstix. You can go.'
…...
'Q. Berry. My house, 8, be there.' Santana swiped as she exited the room, reaching for Brittany's pinky.
'Okay... Should we be scared?' Rachel slowly turned to Quinn and subconsciously started pushing her chair out of the room.
'Probably.' A small smile appearing on Quinn's face from the actual look of fear on Rachel's face.
'Would you like a walk to your next lesson Quinn?'
Quinn winched slighly at Rachel's choice of words but was grateful none the less. 'I..umm...Yes, thank-you.'
Rachel, smiled, nodded and started down the corridor. Quinn seemed to notice how apart from her first guilty reaction she had acted as if Quinn was still walking and she was the only one to not look at her with pity.
'You know, you can't deny that we're friends now?' Quinn could hear the smug smirk in Rachel's tone from behind her.
'I wouldn't want it any other way.'
Rachel just smiled at her as they stopped outside Quinn's History class which seemed to be the only class they didn't share.
'Rach, don't you have Geography? It's on the other side of the building.'
'It's okay, I'll just say I was taking a pretty girl to class and that if he has a problem with that, then he should just consult a optician because Quinn Fabray is obviously the prettiest girl in school.'
The girl couldn't hide the reddening of her cheeks so quickly replied. 'Thank-you. Go to class, Rach.'
Rachel started 'Quinn...' but thought otherwise after a stern look from the blonde.' Okay, okay.'
Quinn wheeled to her space next to Santana with a smile.
'Taking up your roles already.'
'No, she just walked me to class, that doesn't mean anything.'
'Sure it doesn't.'
