Open your heart to me

Chapter 1

Quinn sighed as she stepped out of the car and unloaded her bags and suitcase. Today was the day she would be moving into her college dorm room. She would have to share a room with a stranger and that thought really worried her, she knew she could end up sharing with absolutely anyone. She liked to keep her room clean and tidy and didn't like getting woken up during the night, but she knew her roommate could be the complete opposite of her. She bit the bullet and made her way over to where she had to pick up the key to her room and get her ID card printed.

Once that was all done she carried on with her journey up to the room and eventually found the door she was looking for marked as 'Room number 6'. She unlocked the door and found that her roommate wasn't here yet. Relieved she started to unpack and get her side of the room the way she wanted it. She made her bed, put her laptop and books on her desk, hung a pin board on a hook on the wall and stuck pictures of Beth, the Cheerio's and the Glee Club above the head of her bed.

She saw there was a dresser on either side of the room so the girls had plenty of room to store all their clothes. She emptied her suitcase and put all her clothes neatly into the drawers and put her vast collection of shoes under the bed. She put her makeup and toiletries in the en suite bathroom and hung a robe on a hook. It was white and had a gold 'Q' and stars embroided on the left chest. It had been a Glee Club secret Santa present that she knew straight away was from Rachel Berry. She hated to admit it but she loved that robe and she had loved the look on Rachel's face when she opened it in Glee Club on the last day of school before the Christmas break.

Her stomach started to rumble so she decided to go get something to eat at the campus coffee shop. She also had a good look around the campus and tried to find out as much information as she could about all the clubs they had there. She knew she didn't want to join a Sorority so she skipped that information tent and went to the library to see what it was like. She would more than likely have to borrow a lot of books for her classes and wanted to make sure they had a good selection.

(Rachel's point of view)

Rachel joyfully got out of her dad's car and got her belongings from the trunk. She went to check in and get the key for her room; she found out she would be in room number 6. She wasn't worried about sharing with someone else, if she could make it through the teasing at high school, she could share with another girl through college. She wasn't even nervous that they wouldn't get on, she was here to learn and that was it. As long as her roommate didn't interrupt her bathroom routine and bring boys back to the room she didn't really care.

She told her dads that she would make her own way to her room; she didn't want anyone to think she was stupid or laugh at her. Her dad's said goodbye and wished her well as she made her way to the room.

She eventually found it and unlocked the door. She had expected it to be open but concluded her roommate had gone out or wasn't here yet. It wasn't until she stepped into the room that she realised it was the former. She dropped her belongings on the floor and looked round the room for a couple of seconds before her jaw dropped to the floor.

First she saw the robe, and then she saw the pictures at the head of the bed. Walking over she studied them carefully even though she had seen them in the owner's locker at McKinley High School countless times before. She went over to the robe she had brought for the girl and ran her fingers over the embroided 'Q'. She sat down on her own bed and couldn't help but notice the familiar scent that filled the room. It was the perfume of a certain Quinn Fabray.

"Shit...I'm sharing a room with Quinn Fabray" was all Rachel could think to herself.

That thought scared her to death but also thrilled her at the same time.

(Quinn's point of view)

Quinn has walked around campus for a few hours when she decides to head back to her room. She slowly makes her way there and is then turning the key in the lock when she hears 'Don't rain on my parade' being played from behind the door.

"I haven't heard that song in a while" She thinks to herself. It was Rachel Berry's go to song and she sang it a lot over the course of their time in Glee Club. She knows this college also caters to performing arts students so she concludes that maybe that is what her roommate is studying; either that or she just likes the song.

What she isn't prepared for is the face that turns round to look at her when she enters the room.

"Oh my god, Rachel?" Quinn exclaims as her jaw drops to the floor. Rachel was meant to be going to NYADA. So why was she in her dorm room unpacking her belongings?

"I had that same reaction about an hour ago when I walked in and saw your things" Rachel replied nervously.

"I thought you were going to NYADA, what are you doing here?" Quinn asked curiously.

"I wanted to stay closer to home" Rachel replied honestly.

Quinn could understand that reasoning. New York would be very daunting to move to when you have just left school. She expected that Rachel would find her way there one day though, it was like her destiny.

Quinn stood silently as her thoughts went round and round in her head. She had spent every day with Rachel through high school so knew exactly what she was like and that thought made her anxious. Rachel could be a little high maintenance at times and she wasn't sure if she could put up with a diva sleeping in such close quarters to her. However at the same time she couldn't help the feeling of relief and excitement that filled her at the thought of sharing a room with Rachel Berry.
