Author's Note: So I just had an idea about a Faberry story. I'm quite new in this pairing so it's one of my few attempts. It's not the first though, but it's the first one I've published. This is mostly AU. Quinn isn't in Glee club and the story takes place starting in their junior year. Matt is still with the Glee club. I hope you help me with your reviews. Thank you!

Pairings: Rachel/Quinn, Santana/Brittany with bits of Mike/Tina. (Also includes friendships like: Quinn/Santana, Santana/Rachel, Puck/Rachel, Puck/Quinn/ and one my new favorites… "FABANG" – Mike/Quinn)

CHAPTER 1

Day One

Probably, a few weeks before this particular Monday, Quinn didn't see it happening. A few weeks – a few months, a full year – before this particular Monday, her life wasn't so hard at all.

She would come to school, walk around the hallway, flush that angelic smile and boys and girls would die in pleasure. Weeks – a few months, a full year- before this particular Monday, Quinn Fabray was the hottest girl in school.

She was the bubbly, cute, chivalrous young McKinley heartthrob that most guys - and probably half the girls – would kill for a date with. And she loved it, the adoration, the acceptance, the popularity. She could come to school, wear that smile and get everything she wanted in a snap.

Quinn Fabray was just as perfect as she seemed to be. She had incredibly – and sometimes unbelievably – good and steady grades. She had a mom and a sister that accepted that she swings both ways and a fantastic dating life.

Really? Fantastic? Yeah. Unreal, even. Imagine, every single guy – popular or not – in school wanted to ask her out. Everytime she walked down the halls of McKinley, all eyes would dart towards her in awe. Most days, Quinn felt like a sex symbol or something. But sex symbol didn't really fit. Santana owned that definition. So, let's retract and rephrase.

Most days, Quinn felt like a celebrity. She was like the Reese Witherspoon or Jennifer Aniston (before the tug-o-war with Angelina Jolie) of McKinley. Well, aside from the similarity of the blonde hair, everyone saw her as a girlfriend and wife material. To the boys, she was like an ideal girl. Quinn wasn't any Megan Fox-hot type but she was genuinely beautiful. Again, just like how Hollywood sees Jennifer Aniston, McKinley guys saw Quinn as the one you'd always want to end up with.

As for the girls, well... First stop, let's just say that maybe, the "other team" hasn't completely got Quinn yet. So far, Quinn hasn't fully admitted that she was gay. She liked guys; she loved a guy once in her life – damn Finn Hudson, quarterback. But it was once. She liked how she felt being protected but Quinn was protective as well. She loved taking the lead, loved directing the pace of the relationship. That's why one day, she just saw herself in a relationship with a girl and couple more girls after that. It wasn't that she hated the idea of being gay; it's just that labels scare her. Anything with finality scared her. It could very well explain why she jumped from one relationship to another.

She liked to call it as being open to any kind of relationship. Besides, as how Quinn would put it, you fall in love with the person that they are and what you feel with them and not with the gender or anything in the demographics.

Well, as for the girls. Quinn was like… Ben Affleck. Okay, maybe, she was more of a Josh Duhamel. Charming, cool, easy-to-be-with and most of all, she knew how to treat women right. That's what the girls she dated thought. As for Quinn, she nearly didn't believe how ideal she was to the eyes of other people. She only treated women the way she did just because she knew what women want because once in her life, she asked them all from Finn but he never did anything.

It was a cliché – how people still liked and agreed to date her despite numerous accounts of disastrous relationships she had. Finn, Puck and Sam of the football team, Jessica and Eva of the Cheerios, Carl of the basketball team, Arianna and Lucas of the Chess club and a few others that Quinn can barely remember… they are the living proofs of how Quinn didn't really want steadiness.

A player?

Oh yes, Quinn Fabray was definitely a player and man! She's a good one.

Guys would ask her out but Quinn asked the girls out. She wanted to feel it – requesting something and getting it an instant. She loved how other girls jump for joy and excitement when she asked them out. All of these girls and boys heard the same break up line from Quinn: "it's not you, it's me." She practiced this line in hope that maybe, it would lessen the damage.

Only two people never really bought this excuse. First was Cheerios Head Cheerleader Santana. She was Quinn's first girlfriend and probably the only one she cared for among the girls she dated. But they were too good for each other, they both wanted to control the relationship until they realized that they were better off as friends. They might be right about it because a year after they dated, they remained friends. Good friends, mind you.

The second person who refused to give Quinn up was Natalie – Cheerios second captain. Natalie was just… a bitch! She came up to Quinn one day and kissed her right in front of the student body. Quinn, being used to this kind of kiss attacks, just shrugged when Natalie asked her to ask her out. Okay so Natalie was like, "Come on, Quinn. Ask me out. I'm yours to take." She was begging, yet, she took pride on herself. She was hot, Quinn thought. So maybe, it wasn't such a bad idea.

They dated for two weeks and it was Quinn's most miserable dating phase ever. Natalie was so self-centered and she was simply bitch by all means. Quinn didn't know how to describe her further so let's just stop there. Natalie fell head over heels for Quinn and since Quinn broke up with her, Natalie made the hell out of the lives of the people that Quinn dated after her.

A few weeks ago, Quinn was sure she was still the luckiest person in the dating history of McKinley High. A few weeks ago, she dumped boys and girls, left and right. It was until Mike challenged her that Quinn's life drastically changed.

Mike, her best guy friend, put 50 dollars on the line. Fifty dollars for getting Rachel Berry out on a date with her. It was silly. But Mike offered more. If Mike loses, he will finally confess to Tina – the girl he'd been eyeing for almost a month now – about his feelings. But if Quinn loses, she will pay Mike 50 dollars and in addition to that Mike will give Jacob Ben Israel an anonymous tip that Rachel Berry – the school's resident loser and captain of Glee club – dumped Quinn Fabray.

Now, that was definitely the catch.

Quinn never really liked Rachel. But she liked Mike's challenge. She knew that Mike worshipped her when it came to women, who wouldn't? So, Quinn accepted the bet.

Fifty dollars for taking Rachel out. Fifty dollars for Rachel Berry's heart.

So last week, she started showing Rachel signs of her pseudo attraction. Monday last week, she gave the girl a bunch of roses, ate lunch with her, and practically kept her safe from slushies. On Tuesday, he asked permission from Mr. Schue to seat in at Glee club and watch the new apple of her eye. Santana and Mike, both being in Glee club because of their respective reasons (Mike for Tina and Santana for Brittany), just threw knowing smiles at her when she acted as if she was adoring Rachel while the diva was belting out "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" with Finnocence. Quinn will never admit but she realized then that indeed, Rachel Berry was more than just an obnoxious diva. Santana was right about Rachel, she was a diva because she had every right to be.

On Wednesday, Quinn walked her to her classes and again attended Glee club as a guest. She didn't want to ask Rachel about a date just yet because she knew that she will say no. She barely knew Quinn and with her utmost experience in the dating field, Quinn knew Rachel was definitely one of those girls who wanted to "get to know each other" first before dating.

On Thursday, Quinn bought Rachel another bouquet of tulips and sang to Rachel in Glee club. It wasn't her audition, though. She never really wanted to be in Glee club. She could admit that they were incredibly talented but Quinn didn't feel as if it was her thing to sing and dance. But she sang to Rachel that day. She knew that it was the only way to get her to say yes. Quinn could swear she saw Rachel blush as she sang "Say A Little Prayer".

It was Friday when Quinn finally felt as if it was the right time to ask Rachel out. And as what she expected, just like the other girls, Rachel said "yes" to her. Rachel agreed to go on a date with her the next day.

Quinn won the bet. She got her 50 dollars from Mike and Mike – much to Santana's entertainment – will confess to Tina this particular Monday, in Glee club. But this time, Santana was the one who challenged her.

Another 50 dollars if she gets Rachel to be her girlfriend on first date.

Feeling a little proud of herself, Quinn accepted the bet which she eventually won.

Monday, she was slowly wooing Rachel Berry and on Saturday, she was her girlfriend. See? That's how Quinn played her game.

She won 100 dollars in a week and she couldn't be any happier.

But right now, this particular Monday, as she was facing her full-body mirror, Quinn prepared herself for the first school day of being Rachel's girlfriend or rather, having Rachel as her girlfriend.

Damn that girl for being so loud and talkative. Now, Quinn had to endure three days of her life with Rachel. Yes, three days. She's giving Rachel three days and then, her popular break up line will soon flee and woof! A certain Rachel Berry will be added on Quinn's jar of broken hearts.

#####

Wearing a simple pair of skinny jeans, blue shirt and a pair of sneakers, Quinn went to school prepared to face a day with her newest – victim – girlfriend.

One of the requirements of being Rachel's girlfriend was walking her to class. So, Quinn got up extra early that day because last night, Rachel reminded her to meet her 10 minutes before classes start.

As Quinn walked down the halls of McKinley, she realized, nothing much has changed even she was dating the girl on the bottom of the social pyramid. Boys and girls still looked her way and she still flushed her toothpaste smile.

Quinn was one cocky girl when it came to people checking her out. Instead of glaring at them, she threw winks and smiles – that girls absolutely loved.

Who would've thought it was okay to be gay in McKinley?

She walked towards Rachel who was digging something from inside her locker.

"Hey, Rach," Quinn greeted her as she leaned her back against the lockers.

Rachel closed her locker tentatively to make sure it was Quinn and once she had a sight of Quinn, she flashed her biggest smile and instantly dropped a kiss on Quinn's cheek.

"Good morning, Quinn," the diva greeted and Quinn just replied with a smile.

It was rather a cold acknowledgement, Quinn knew but that was how she kept girls from falling head over heels for her. Or maybe, this was how she slowly dumped people.

When Rachel realized she wasn't getting any good morning greeting back, she turned to her locker and smiled at Quinn.

Quinn knew Rachel had something in store for her.

"Quinn, I got us something," Rachel said trying to hide her excitement. "Because I want you to be reminded of our dates and Rachel-Quinn days, I got us…" Rachel paused for dramatic revelation of whatever she had inside her locker, "a Rachel-Quinn relationship calendar."

Rachel pulled out a pair of pink calendars designed with gold stars on the corners and showed it to Quinn who straightened up and tried so hard to stop herself from being laughing and feeling embarrassed at Rachel's actions.

"See? I got it all laid out here. All you have to do is just check it out if you feel you're missing something out, which of course won't happen because as your girlfriend, I will do the job of reminding you everyday about our significant activities with each other," Rachel rambled.

Quinn sighed and managed a forced smile, "Thanks."

Rachel smiled and handed Quinn her copy of the calendars as Quinn quickly slid it inside her bag.

"So, what are your plans for the day?" Rachel asked as she laced her arms around Quinn's.

"Nothing really special. Maybe watch the Cheerios practice or something," Quinn replied as they started walking to Rachel's first class.

"Don't you want to come to Glee club again?" Rachel asked.

Quinn has tried her best to avoid this conversation with Rachel. Since she and Rachel became official last Saturday, the diva has asked every now and then that she should join Glee club because she has a nice voice that only needs a little practice. Rachel even insisted that she would certainly help them win Nationals in New York.

"Rach, we've talked about this," Quinn said as she tried to hide her frustration.

"I'm sorry for forcing the issue, it's just that-"

"Rach, I think I might join the lacrosse team again." Lie. Quinn only said this to drop the Glee club topic.

Rachel's face lightened up, "Really?"

Quinn nodded.

"That's awesome, Quinn!" Rachel said happily. "I highly disapprove your lurking around the school after classes if you could spend the time on something that will help your future," Rachel lectured.

Quinn was already feeling dizzy with all the talking that Rachel was doing so she just nodded.

Rachel continued, "Make sure you tell me when you will be trying out, so I can be there to support you."

"Yeah," Quinn replied.

"But for today, please come to Glee?" Rachel pleaded.

"Why would you need me there?"

"It's easier to sing when you're inspired," Rachel smiled.

Quinn smiled at this.

"Please?"

Quinn shook her head before nodding, "Okay, Rach."

Rachel jumped in excitement and faced Quinn as she held the blonde on both hands, "Yay!"

The diva then pulled Quinn into a hug which the blonde returned. They stayed like that for the quite a while until Santana called from behind them.

"Get a room love birds!"

Quinn and Rachel pulled away from each other and acknowledged the Latina's presence. Santana came with Brittany and Mike.

"Hello, Santana, Brittany and Mike. It's a great morning, isn't it?" Rachel greeted.

Quinn didn't even notice how automatic it was that her hand searched and intertwined with Rachel's soon as they broke the hug.

"Yeah, it's a great morning for you because you're all over Quinn," Brittany said as she smiled.

Rachel slightly blushed.

"She can barely keep her hands off me," Quinn teased.

"Quinn!" Rachel said as she nudged Quinn with her elbow.

"I won't be surprised," Santana said mischievously.

"Mike, you've been silent," Quinn turned to Mike who seemed to be anxious about something.

They all turn to Mike as Santana and Quinn exchanged knowing smiles.

"Is there something wrong, Mike?" Rachel asked.

"He's gonna confess to Tina today," Quinn revealed.

Rachel and Brittany excitedly shifted to Mike's sides letting go of the hands they previously held.

"How are you gonna do it?" Brittany asked.

Mike shook his head, "I don't know."

"You cannot not know what to do," Rachel said.

"Quinn won't help me," Mike said.

Rachel gave Quinn a sharp look.

"What?" Quinn asked surprised of Rachel's look. "I'm not the one wooing Tina, he should do it himself," she defended herself as she saw Rachel soften.

"She's right Mike," Rachel turned to Mike again. "If you will take Quinn's advices, she will be falling for Quinn and not you. And I don't want Tina to fall for her," Rachel said.

Santana rolled her eyes as Quinn smilingly nodded.

"Maybe you can sing or dance for her in Glee later," Brittany said out of nowhere.

"Yeah, just like what Quinn did for me," Rachel said smilingly.

"Though I would suggest you dance. Don't you dare sing Mike," Santana snapped.

Brittany and Rachel started walking down the hall with Mike in between them as they talked about Mike's confession to Tina.

"Wow, Q. You're incredibly soft today," Santana told Quinn as they trailed behind the trio.

Quinn looked at Santana in confusion.

"I mean around Berry," Santana said. "I never saw you that soft around any of your previous hook-ups," she explained.

What was Santana talking about? She wasn't so soft around Rachel, as far as she was concerned.

"Damn Q, you two looked so natural," Santana said again.

"She got us a relationship calendar," Quinn said almost laughing.

Santana laughed – hard, "Oh God!"

The Latina laughed a little more until she was able to catch her breath. "I actually thought she stopped that relationship calendar thing," she finally managed.

"I guess she didn't," Quinn said shrugging.

"How are you holding up dating the most annoying girl in world?"

"Don't say that. She might hear you," Quinn asked as Santana stopped in her tracks.

Quinn turned to her and saw the Latina looking at her in disbelief, "Did you just tell me to be sensitive about Berry's feelings?"

"No. It's just that…." Quinn cannot find the right words to say. "She not that bad," she finished.

Santana raised a questioning eyebrow.

"What?"

The Latina shrugged, "Nothing."

Santana then walked off to catch up with the trio as Quinn was left wondering to herself.

Santana was right. Since when did she start caring about how her – victims – girlfriends felt? And since when did she check out the legs of whoever she was dating?

She was looking at Rachel's legs. Damn. Those skirts really did the damage.

And again, since when did Quinn felt so protective when other guys checked her girlfriend out?

Quinn threw a glare at Jacob Ben Israel when she caught him staring at – those legs – Rachel's butt down to her legs. Quinn felt a pang of anger that Jacob might have seen in her eyes because he immediately looked away.

"Quinn?" she heard Rachel's voice interrupt her thoughts.

"Yeah?"

"We're here," Rachel said and Quinn realized they were already in front of the classroom for Rachel's first class.

"Yeah, see you at lunch," Quinn said as she pressed a kiss on Rachel's forehead.

Rachel giggled, "Seriously, Quinn?"

"I thought that was sweet," Quinn shrugged.

"Okay, then," Rachel said as she kissed Quinn's forehead.

Quinn smiled, "I like that."

Rachel kissed Quinn's nose.

"Better," Quinn said.

Rachel then leaned forward and Quinn could almost feel Rachel's lips on hers… almost. Just as she was about to meet her halfway for the kiss, Rachel pulled away and smiled playfully.

"Later, Quinn," the diva said as she turned on her heels and went inside the room.

Quinn just shook her head and smiled.

Did she just want to kiss her that bad?

If the morning of the first day of dating Rachel Berry was this good, who knows what the next three days will hold?

######

"Rachel, I thought you were wiser than all the other girls?" Finn said as he trailed behind Rachel who was trying her best to walk fast to keep herself away from Finn.

"And what was that supposed to mean, Finn?" Rachel asked as she continued to walk.

"You know she's playing you. She's gonna dump you soon," Finn said finally catching up beside Rachel.

"First, I am offended. Don't you think I am not good enough for Quinn?"

"No, Rachel. It's Quinn. She's a player. She likes playing with feelings. You should know better than that!"

Rachel stopped walking and faced finally faced Finn, "Don't say that about my girlfriend, Finn!"

"And since when did you become gay?"

"A long time ago," Rachel said as she resumed walking.

Finn once again followed him, "What?"

"I have had a crush on Quinn since middle school!" Rachel said.

"What the hell, Rachel!" Finn exclaimed.

Rachel stopped again and faced him, "Why do you care, Finn?"

"I care for you, Rachel. She doesn't care about you. She's just gonna hurt you!"

"Do you really think I do not know what I have signed up for? I'm not stupid like you, Finn! I know who Quinn is but I have buried that knowledge about her last week when I agreed to be her girlfriend!"

"You don't understand!"

"I don't need to understand. Finn, for once in my life, someone actually wants to be with me. You do not know how much it means to me and I don't care if she hurts me or what! I just want to feel as happy as I am with her, even just for once Finn! Just this once."

"But Rachel. She's not right for you."

Rachel was already close to tears when a voice spoke behind Finn.

"I heard that."

Finn and Rachel turned to see who it was and found Quinn standing just a few feet away with Santana on her left and Puck on her right as Mike and Brittany trailed behind them.

Upon seeing her girlfriend, Rachel walked over to Quinn and stood behind her.

"I was just telling the truth! You don't have a heart Quinn!" Finn yelled.

Everybody in the hallway was already feeling the tension and everyone stopped whatever they were doing just to watch the on-going commotion. Quinn's teeth were gritting as Santana and Puck clenched their fists. They were ready to attack on Quinn's signal.

"But you don't talk to my girlfriend like that," Quinn said. It was true, though. She hated it when people were assaulting her girlfriends. She hated it when men push women around – especially not her girlfriend. Aside from it being a part of her reputation as a chivalrous and responsible girlfriend, Quinn hated it when people push around people who were weaker than them.

"You don't like her!" Finn insisted as Quinn, Puck and Santana stepped closer to him. He stepped backward in fear. "Rachel, she's just playing you!" Finn cried once again.

At that, Rachel walked and stood just beside Quinn. Rachel was done with Finn. She grabbed Quinn by the arm and pulled her closer to herself. She then kissed the blonde delicately with eyes shut and all emotions out.

Quinn instantly laced her arms around Rachel's waist as the diva's arms snaked around Quinn's neck.

Even Quinn didn't even understand it. Her eyes automatically shut when she felt Rachel's lips on hers. She didn't understand the goose bumps she had at the back of her neck when Rachel kissed her. She liked it. She liked how Rachel's lips seemed to fit hers.

She liked this kiss more than any kiss she had before. It was better than anything else she had experienced before. And when Rachel pulled away, she found herself gasping for air. It was short and sweet and at the back of her mind, she wanted more.

Quinn stood there, shocked, twisted, confused of the feeling that the kiss gave her.

"Finn, you can't do anything about my relationship with Quinn. So, stop acting this way or else…."

"Or else what Rachel?" Finn challenged.

"Or else, I'll let Santana and Puck do the talking," Rachel said as Santana and Puck smirked.

The Mohawk boy and the Latina stepped forward towards Finn.

"What, Finnessa?" Santana snapped. "It's either you run or get smacked in the face," the Latina said looking scary as ever.

"You don't talk to my hot Jew like that, man. We're like on the football team but we don't talk to women like that and even to Quinn!" Puck said as he exchanged looks with Santana who smirked once more.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, Rachel!" he called out to Rachel again. "Don't come to me saying that I was right! You're dating a slut!"

This and everything went black for Finn.

Puck tackled him and pressed him against the lockers as Santana punched him right in the face. Finn felt his whole world spin and then he fell onto a complete darkness when he felt a jab right onto his stomach. It was Santana again.

Every student in the hallway groaned in sorry pain for Finn and when Puck and Santana turned to look around, everyone tried to look away pretending to mind their own businesses.

"By this time, you must already know who rules this school!" Santana yelled as she, Puck, Quinn, Rachel, Brittany and Mike all walked their way out leaving an unconscious Finn Hudson lying on the ground, leaning against the lockers.

They all walked out and everything was okay again.

But something inside Quinn was confused.

She felt something different when Rachel kissed her.

She felt something she never felt before.

What was it?

Was it something good?

Will it ever do her good?

Quinn didn't know but she was sure of one thing… she liked it.
