Chapter one: those good old days

QUINN POV

Quinn Fabray pulled up outside the familiar, crappy school she'd wasted the past three years at. Though, finally she could now be relieved that it was almost time to leave this hell hole and get on with her life. Her high school life had been a bit of a roller coaster ride, but she'd enjoyed most of it. That's why she looked to the future, because life could only get better right? Well, even if it didn't at least she'd have more freedom & could actually plan some of it. After all, nothing could be worse than her past as 'Lucy Caboosey'. She didn't feel any better about it, even after the Glee Club tried to teach her that everything was okay & it's good to be who you are. Quinn never budged, she didn't like her past at all & she knew that the future would be better. She didn't know how, but she just knew it.

As the blonde stepped out of her car she took in the scenes around her. The way the tree's twisted overhead, creating a canopy of leaves & greenery. Then, other things appeared to her. Things like the way the cracks appeared in the wall paint when you leant on it & how everyone knew the perfect hiding place if you wanted to smoke or cut class. It hadn't changed at all, when she'd transferred here it'd look exactly the same. The only thing that had changed were the people; pupils, teachers, even the janitor.

Quinn looked around at the other seniors that were starting to congregate in small groups around the entrance & parking lot. She recognized most of the faces; faces of old friends, which she now had to call strangers. It was so strange how much some people had changed; she realized that as soon as her eyes hit the group of the Glee Club kids under one of the tree's to the right of the entrance. Then, as she thought she locked her car & wandered over to them.

She thought about what had changed within the Glee Club & to be honest, it surprised her. I mean, all you had to do was look at Rachel & Finn, Puck, even herself. Who'd of thought one of the most popular guys at McKinley would end up dating a loser like Rachel? Or that the badass kid called Noah would join the kindest, most accepting group in the whole school? Who'd of guessed that the most beautiful girl in the school would have a secret like 'Lucy' or that she'd even consider socializing with a group of misfits? No one. Not one person could've anticipated such a change in heart.

That's when her eyes hit Santana, the hateful brunette that treated everyone else like dirt. She almost laughed at the memory of them being friends, it seemed so long ago. The blonde remembered the days they used to spend together, laughing & giggling at other people, spreading rumours & defacing the yearbooks. Her, Santana & Brittany or 'The Unholy Trinity' as other people used to call them & even though everyone else thought that their friendship was built to last. It'd never been that strong.

Quinn didn't understand the saying 'Sandbox love never dies', after all you only had to take one look at the ranges of broken friendships that surrounded the Glee kids to figure out that it wasn't true. In fact, it couldn't be any more wrong. But Q had to admit, she did miss the good old days of their friendship...
