Writer's Note: This was requested. It's been a while since I wrote anything so bare with me. Multiple ships will be explored but we all know what I ship. ;) Kind of short but it's just the first chapter. Hope you enjoy and review! Also, Sam and Quinn are the same age in this!
No one knew what Mr. Schue was thinking when he decided that New Directions needed to take a camping trip. It made no sense to anyone in the club. However, they all reluctantly agreed to go. Why not? It was the summer time and most of them didn't have anything major going on. The football team wasn't going to start two-a-days until the beginning of August and it was still early July. Mr. Schue called each and every member of the team, asked Ms. Pillsbury to help chaperone, and told them to be at the high school parking lot at six am on the selected date. That's right. Six. In. The. Morning.
Santana complained as the guys loaded everything in the bottom of the bus. She complained to anyone who would listen, and given the Latina's reputation, no one dared to tell her to shut up. Other than Quinn, of course. Quinn was probably the only one who was brave enough to tell the girl what everyone else was thinking. Brittany sat back and watched as Santana and Quinn started arguing. She was tired of her two best friends always arguing. It annoyed her, but soon her attention was on a bird in a tree. Puck and Finn both decided that they were done helping so Sam and Mike finished putting everyone's things in the bus before closing it. It looked like they were ready.
Mr. Schue was going to tell them to sit boy-boy and girl-girl to avoid things that high school students liked to do, but then that would give Kurt and Blaine a chance to be together or Santana and Brittany and he just decided not to say anything. They would figure it out. Finn got on the bus first, picking a seat in the back so he could fall asleep on the ride to the woods. Wherever they were. Then it was Tina and Mike, both sitting together with Tina's feet propped up in Mike's lap. After, Kurt got on and sat down, Blaine sitting with him, the two boys chatting instantly. It appeared that Blaine had his morning coffee and was in good spirits. Quinn got on the bus next, taking a seat a few away from those already on the bus. Rachel got on and sat in front of Finn and behind Kurt. That way she could talk to her two favorite people. Santana got on after, sitting across from Quinn and crossing her legs in the seat. She was going to do some napping.
Because Artie was going with them, Mr. Schue had gotten one of the school buses that had a strap for wheelchairs in the back due to missing part of the seats. Sam, Puck and Brittany all helped put Artie in the back and Brittany jumped in to strap the boy's wheels in place. She smiled at him and told him she hoped he didn't roll over anyone while in the bus before going to sit in front of Santana. Puck got on and tried to sit next to Quinn but the blonde refused him and he ended up sitting towards the back by Artie. Mercedes got on after, moving to the back to sit across from Rachel. Sam was the last New Direction member to get on the bus and sat in front of Quinn, not wanting to sit too far back or too close to the teachers who had made their way to the front seats of the bus. He figured it didn't matter anyway, he would most likely just sleep. Plus, after his break up with Mercedes, the boy felt better by the Unholy Trinity.
Mr. Schue made sure everyone was accounted for and off they went.
"We should all do some singing while we are gone," Rachel said not ten minutes after they had left.
Of course the bus was filled with a collective groan, one she had to hit Finn because of. She believed that while they were gone for the week, they should keep their vocals up to par. Almost everyone tuned her out, including Finn who was busy wondering what kind of food they had all brought and if it would last for the five days they would be out there.
"Rachel...we're going to be in the woods...in the middle of no where...let's worry about surviving," Kurt said to his best friend.
"That's no excuse Kurt. You of all people should understand where I am coming from," the brunette replied, her arms crossed and her face already in a pout.
While most of the other glee club kids just ignored Rachel, Santana turned her head and rolled her eyes.
"Look, man hands, we are not on a stage. We are not all going to bust out in song. We're going to go camping and do some sort of bonding thing and you can just deal with it."
Rachel didn't say much after that. No one did, really. Tina and Mike talked to themselves while Mercedes and Kurt talked fashion. Sure, Blaine was bored with that but he politely listened. Puck and Artie talked music while Finn snored away. Brittany was busy looking outside at nature and Santana had fallen asleep.
But Quinn was bored. She leaned up and tapped Sam on the shoulder. She hadn't really talked to her ex-boyfriend since finding out about him and Mercedes and she didn't even know they had broken up. Sam had broken her heart and rejected her and all she wanted to do was ignore him. But at the moment, she wanted to talk or something. The boy turned his head and raised an eyebrow at the girl.
"Need something?" he asked her, wondering if maybe she wanted one of his snacks.
"I'm bored."
"Okay..."
"Talk to me."
He had forgotten how she could be bossy from time to time but Sam just shrugged his shoulders and turned his body in her direction. He licked his lips slowly and nodded his head.
"Sure."
"Why are you not sitting by Mercedes?" the girl asked him, her eyes not meeting his.
"We broke up. She wasn't...I mean...we just didn't work."
"Okay."
