Hey, there people of fanfiction...I've decided to challenge myself with the 50 words in 30 days challenge and here is that story...now the words are just going to be one-shots and they probably won't be related...

...Hope you enjoy!

13. Admirer

It was no secret that Quinn Fabray was beautiful. Anyone who had eyes could easily tell, only by looking. She was lusted for by many. Guys and girls alike.

However, there was one person she wanted the most.

Someone who went out of their way to make sure she was happy.

The only problem was she had no idea who that person was.

Yes, it's true for once in her life Quinn had a secret admirer.

It had all started a few months ago. She'd arrive at William McKinley High School (the one she had been attending for three years now) and she'd open her locker. And inside would be a note. It was always a small note really, sometimes it had ten words, like the first one:

Everyone sees you're beautiful but not the beauty within you.

Other times it'd only be five:

I love your smile, always.

It was always that. Short and simple, never over ten words. But she'd get a note in her locker every single day. And each one ended with…From your secret admirer.

The strange thing was Quinn couldn't figure out who had been putting the notes inside her locker. She tried getting to school so early that she ended up being the first student there. She'd stand around the corner staring at her locker, waiting for whomever it was to place the note inside. But no one did. By the time the first bell rang she'd have to stop searching and head to class, because she was a straight A student, hadn't missed a single day of school since she was seven and had to go to the eye doctor's for the first time (unless you counted last year when she was pregnant, but who does really)?

She'd even stay after school, as late as she could without worrying her mother (because after the pregnancy fiasco her mother worried too much). Though it was hard to stare at her locker when she had the most evil cheerleading coach ever breathing down her neck on a daily basis. But still she'd try.

And she'd fail.

She'd go during lunch hours and wait then, it's not like she ate school lunch anyway.

But this admirer of hers was sneaky.

Very sneaky.

They were putting the notes in before school, during school and after school and Quinn had no idea how they were getting past her. Within four months it got so bad that she actually confided in her three best friends to help her out.

Rachel Berry (who wasn't exactly a best friend, but she became very useful).

Brittany Pierce (whom she had to explain the situation to four times, because the girl always cut her off with some strange story about her cat).

And Santana Lopez (the girl she was reluctant to tell because, given their history Santana would only tease her).

One full week after her recruitment, the blonde was still at a loss. "I've given up my after school ballet lessons for this Quinn and we're not getting any closer." Rachel groaned leaning up against the row of lockers and looking squarely at the girl.

"You know Berry's right." Santana shrugged, "with all the new notes you've been getting, I'm beginning to think you've been writing them to yourself."

"Now why would she do that?" Brittany asked, "ooh! Here comes Puck, and look he's got a piece of purple paper in his hand."

"It's just purple paper." Santana said.

"No, Sanny." Brittany shook her head, "The notes have all been on purple paper this week." She reached out and grabbed Santana's arm, along with Rachel's and the four girls walked down the hall, rounding the corner.

"This is stupid." Santana said, looking around the corner.

"I feel like we're spies." Brittany giggled, getting down on her knees and peering around the corner as well.

Rachel crouched down a bit and peaked with her head in between Santana and Brittany's and Quinn only stared at them. "This is ridiculous. It's not Puck."

"Shh!" Brittany snapped at her, "he's stopping at your locker."

"What?" Quinn gaped, moving quickly to peer around the corner.

All the sweetness. The romantic words. It had all been from Puck?

"Hey, Puckerman!" Quinn shouted, causing a few students to glance her way briefly before going about their business.

"Oh, hey, Quinn." Puck said casually, lifting a hand to his hair and running it through his Mohawk, "s'up?"

"Give me that!" Quinn snatched the paper from his hand, though the boy did attempt to keep it from her. The blonde ripped the paper open. It was longer this time. "'I know you're looking for me and I wish you'd stop. You'll never understand why I'm feeling like this, I don't fully understand it myself…It has to be this way loving you from afar, because if you ever knew how I felt about you. Quinn, it'd ruin everything we already have.'"

Rachel and Brittany exchanged a nervous glance, but neither of them said a word.

"Puck." Quinn said, folding the paper up and looking at him. "What are you doing?"

"Me?" The boy questioned pointing to himself. His eyes wandered between the four girls, "no, I was-"

"Don't pretend, it's okay." Quinn shrugged, "just be honest."

"I am being honest!" Puck jumped in, "I love Lauren…I was just doing as I was asked." He said, "look, Quinn, I had no idea what was on the paper, Santana just-"

"Dude!" The Latina snapped quickly and all eyes fell on her.

Quinn's mouth was opening and closing, trying to find something to say, and she finally settled on, "what?"

"I think," Rachel said, grabbing Brittany and Puck's arms, "I think that's our cue to go." They then turned to walk away.

"I-I'm sorry." Santana stammered.

"You're sorry?" Quinn registered. "No, what is going on?"

"I just…I woke up one morning and you were there…it was that end of summer blowout we had at Britt's, just us three."

"I remember."

"Q, I just woke up feeling different. That morning, you were laying beside me and Brittany was off with Lord Tubbington, and I was just thinking about everything that had happened that year and all of a sudden I was looking at you differently."

"Santana-"

"At first I thought it was just innocent, I mean I've always known you were hot…but then I started thinking about you more often. And the thoughts were anything but innocent." She stared at her friend for a moment before sighing, "I love you. I've realized that. The notes were a simple way to express that without giving myself away. You've been so down this year, with everything that happened last year, I just needed to show you that you were special and loved and that was the safest way for me to do so."

"Sant-"

"I'm sorry." Santana said, "when you started looking for me I panicked. When you were waiting before school I'd wait until after school, and when you were waiting after school, I'd do it before lunch, and then when you waited during lunch and recruited Brittany, Rachel and I, I panicked, and asked Puck to put the notes in the locker." She paused and watched Quinn intently. By now the hallways were empty as class had started. "Quinn."

"You love me?" She whispered, "for me?"

"I…yeah."

And that was that. Quinn was kissing her in the next moment, and Santana was…relieved. She'd been afraid this entire time, setting those notes in the locker, and feeling this love for Quinn. She was afraid that if Quinn realized it was her she'd lose not only the person that she loved, but her best friend and that scared her immensely.

But all was good. She hadn't lost Quinn.

In fact she was certain she'd just gained a girlfriend.
