AN - I know I haven't written anything in ages, but today I felt inspired, and I hope I continue being inspired enough to finish this one. I have taken extracts from 'An unkindness of Ravens' and obviously using my OTP Faberry. Dedicated to my lion, Always and Forever. – R x


'She was fiercely independent, Rachel Berry. Brilliant and beautiful and brave. In two years she'd grown more than anyone I had ever known. Rachel Berry is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it.'

The brunette read the words out loud, but to herself. Eye's widening as she read the beautiful words about her.
Who did this book belong to, the script was not obvious to the writer, scruffy, but delicate. All she knew was that her ex-boyfriend Finn did not write this; By the end of the year she wanted to know who had written those words.


Quinn moaned as the warm water hit her aching muscles, Glee and straight to soccer, sometimes she didn't know why she did it to herself, but she knew why, passion for the sport, and feelings for …. Glee.
Pulling her hair into a high pony the girl suddenly had a sinking feeling in her stomach, she bit her lip kneeling down and began rummaging through her sports bag.
"No. No. No. No!" She chanted.
As she threw things out of her bag, Santana Lopez had appeared, Co-Captain of the team, and the blonde's best friend. She smirked to herself as she leaned on the lockers over Quinn.
"Boxers in a bunch Fabgay?"

Santana Lopez and Quinn Fabray, two thirds of the unholy trinity, along with Santana's head cheerleader girlfriend Brittany Pierce, the two actually meeting through the harmless blonde back in middle school when Quinn's mother moved them back to her home town of Lima. The unholy trinity, a group that the students respected, and feared, mainly because they were the three hottest, smartest and gayest girls at McKinley.

Rolling her eyes effortlessly Quinn flipped off the Latina before flopping back so her ass hit the ground with a thud.
"Fuck" she cursed aggressively before shoving the items back into her bag "I got to go back to the choir room..." She mumbled pushing herself up and throwing her bag and letterman over her shoulder, barging passed Santana and walking out of the locker room.


Rachel was sat in a chair, the moleskin notebook open on her lap as she was reading different extracts from the clearly unfinished novel.
'Chapter three ...' The brunette took a deep breath 'Santana Lopez is destined for greatness, Actually she already is great; Because Santana Lopez has a thing called integrity, and nothing or no one is ever going to change that..'
She'd been reading the book backward, too scared to find out who it actually belong to, but she knew they were in the glee club at least.

Quinn walked into the choir room, Rachel's head snapping up as she heard the heavy footsteps the book falling onto the ground with a soft thud from her lap.
"Is that…? Are you …? My book?" She mumbled before quickly grabbing it off the floor and clutching it to her chest.
The thing is you could say Quinn and Rachel had a strange relationship. Rachel tried really hard to be friends with the blonde, while the blonde, wanted to be more… But she'd never let Rachel know that.
"How much did you read?" Quinn asked hazel eyes avoiding Rachel's wide, dark ones.
"Quinn…" Rachel trailed off, but when the diva couldn't reply Quinn turned on her heel and stomped out of the room.


Around a week since the choir room incident had passed. Quinn and Rachel hadn't spoken a word to each other; Well Quinn had hardly spoke to anyone, working hard at practice, staying silent in glee.
No one was supposed to know about her novel, well apart from Brittany and Santana and that's only because the three were inseparable.
It was lunchtime and the three were lounging at a table in the quad, the crisp spring air warm and inviting. Brittany tilted her head as she studied Quinn who had her head down and she wrote rapidly.
"Tana…" Brittany trailed off before getting her girlfriend's, who was playing with her fingers lightly, attention "Quinn's being Brody again.."
Santana furrowed her brow in confusion before laughing softly "You mean Broody B?" the blonde giggled and nodded before leaning forward to kiss the girl.
Quinn scoffed before looking up at Rachel, who was sat across the quad with a few people from glee, laughing at something that Blaine was doing with some straws, smiling softly to herself she began writing again before shutting the book and looking at the couple.
"Do you think, she'd ever…? I don't know... date me?"
Brittany nodded rapidly as she pulled away from the kiss "Of course she would.. You're Quinn..." She smiled and Santana just shrugged "Maybe you should do something to make her want you…"
Quinn nodded and chewed on the bottom of her pen as she just watched the brunette, head thrown back in laughter, not even aware she was the object of the blondes affection.

Saturday came around and due to the glorious weather Kurt had decided to have a BBQ whilst his dad and Carole were out of town. Quinn, Santana and a few of the boys began playing soccer, Kurt and the rest of the glee girls watching. Rachel was leaning against the oak tree, watching. Finn tried to show off thinking that the girl was watching him, but Quinn tackled the taller boy with ease, dribbling the ball between her feet and scoring a swift goal, smirking as she jogged past Rachel.
"Nice shot…"
Quinn turned to the girl and smirked "Nice legs" she winked.
Santana high fived the girl as she made her way back over and the game continued.


People's spirits were high, they'd been drinking and eating the entire night after the impromptu soccer match. Mercedes, Tina and Mike had passed out on a few loungers, Brittany and Santana, along with Kurt and Blaine had disappeared, hopefully not together, Puck was playing some kind of video game with Quinn, Artie, Sam and Finn; and Rachel was just observing. She brought her plastic cup to her lips and as she looked up Quinn was stood in front of her.
"Walk you home?" She whispered quietly and the brunette nodded, her eyes never leaving the hazel orbs.

As the two girls walked down the street, early morning hitting the sky, silence over came them.
"You're writing is beautiful Quinn…." The brunette said out of nowhere.
Quinn blushed and nodded "Thank you, It's unfinished, and supposed to be private, but; thanks"
Rachel didn't say anything else in reply, just let the moment between them grow.
Once they reached the front door of the Berry household Rachel smiled brightly at Quinn licking her lips.
The blonde moved backward, so that the smaller girl couldn't hug her and just smirked "I'll be seeing you…"
