Behind the Eyes

Chapter One:

"Get out of the way, Berry." Said Quinn, in her icy tone of voice. She shot Rachel an evil glare, which got her out of the way.

"I'm sorry, Quinn. I didn't know I was such a bother." She looked down at her knee socks. Today, her knee socks consisted of gold stars, over a cream colored background.
