Chapter 1: Love is in the air

She looked back, wondering what she was doing in the kitchen. "What did I come in here for?" Quinn asked herself. She started to think of what she was supposed to get from the kitchen. She felt like she was losing it. "I came here to get..damn it." She walked to the fridge, thinking she might have wanted a snack. But then she went over to the cupboard. "Okay forget it, I'll just go back upstairs and wait until I remember."

Then Rachel walked in. She saw Quinn looking for something but she interrupted her anyways.

"Quinn, I came over here to finish our English project, but we haven't started yet. Also, your room is big, and being in it alone is kind of scary. What are you doing?" Rachel said really fast. She felt so nervous but she didn't know why. Probably the fact that she is doing a project with the person who is trying to ruin her life. Quinn looked upset, and confused.

"Rachel, can you please quiet. I can't believe Ms. Henry made us partners."

"Well, we both are smart; we could probably get a pretty good mark if we actually tried." Rachel said. Quinn stopped thinking about what she forgot, and looked at Rachel. "You are right, let's start the project." She walked to the dining room table, sat down and opened Romeo and Juliet.

"So Shakespeare was born around…." She looked at Rachel, who was still standing up. "Rachel, sit down." Quinn pointed at the chair.

"Right, sorry. I, I just wanted to ask you something." Rachel said.

"Uh, yeah shoot."

"Well, you know how my dads are gay? I really don't know how to say this in any way that makes it less weird but I think that I am starting to become gay too." Rachel said.

Quinn looked at Rachel, surprised as to what she just heard. Could it be true? Ms. Rachel Berry coming out of the closet? To her BULLY?

"Why are you telling me this?" Quinn asked. Yeah, why was she telling her this. I bet Tina would love to hear this, but not her.

"I am only telling you because I think we are really close Quinn. I mean, you have drawn pornographic pictures of me on the wall, and you have many, many rude nicknames for me, and you did try to steal Finn away from me."

"What is your point Rachel?" Quinn said. What was she trying to say?

"I kind of think you like me. I mean, you know those movies. A boy bullies the girl and at the end he tells her he loves her."

"You are absolutely crazy. I'm straight. Plus, those are MOVIES Rachel. They are called that for a reason. It's not real. You're with Finn any ways. Can we please get back to work?"

"Right, sorry. That was kind of awkward. Sorry I brought it up." Rachel said. She couldn't stop staring into Quinn's eyes. Was it weird that she brought it up?

"Okay so back to what I was saying, Shakespeare was born in 1564 right?" Quinn asked Rachel. But she didn't answer. "Rachel? Hello? Are you awake?"

"Huh? Yeah sorry, Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in uh, 1620." Rachel said.

"Rachel, he died in 1616. What's going on with you?" Quinn asked. Something was so wrong. Quinn waited a few seconds for Rachel to answer. Then Rachel stood up and walked to Quinn. "I know you love me Quinn. I read your diary when I was upstairs." She bent down to Quinn, and kissed her gently. Rachel opened her eyes. "And I love you too."

Quinn was so confused. What just happened? Quinn looked at Rachel. More like stared. Then Quinn reached in, and kissed Rachel passionately again. Quinn stood up while locked into Rachel's lips. Both of them were so in love with each other. Rachel's hand ran up Quinn's back. Quinn giggled since it tickled her a little. But then she stopped.

"What's the matter Quinn?" Rachel asked. She was so into it.

"My mom should be home any second. You better go. I'll see you at school." Quinn said and showed Rachel the door. "Bye Rachel."

Rachel looked at Quinn. She was so confused. "Bye." Rachel walked to her car and drove away.

NEXT DAY

*Bell Rings*

Quinn took her History book from her locker and started to run to class. But something stopped her. "What the?" She looked into the choir room and her jaw dropped. "Is that Finn and Brittany making out?" No way! Finn is cheating? Not the first time. She decided to watch them. Not in a creepy way. She wanted to find out what was really going on. Was she going to tell Rachel? She stretched her neck as far as she can, but not too far so that Finn and Brittany don't see her eavesdropping.

Finn stopped Brittany and pushed her away. "Britt, I love you but this is so wrong. I'm with Rachel." Finn said.

"But, no one likes Rachel anyways. Just break up with her." Brittany said.

"What? I can't! I love Rachel and I love you too. Do you get it?" Finn asked. "It's like, you really want to eat a grilled cheese sandwich, but you don't have any, so you go to a nutella sandwich instead."

"Well, I don't get what you're saying but, Lord Tubbington doesn't like you and I had a fight with him this morning." She said

"What does that have to do with anything Britt? I don't even know why I am with you. All you want to do is have sex!" Finn said, leaving Brittany at the same time. He kicked chair and walked out.

Quinn quickly ran off, hoping Finn didn't see her.

"What just happened?" Brittany said.

LATER THAT DAY.

Quinn sat in her bedroom reading her last page of Romeo and Juliet. "What a stupid book. I don't even know why it is so famous." She thought about what it would be like if she was Juliet. Who would be Romeo? Then she thought of Rachel, and how she looked through her diary, and what happened yesterday. She didn't see Rachel all day at school, and she wasn't in Glee Club. She decided to call her. Quinn picked up her phone and dialed Rachel's number. She had it memorized.

"Hey this is Rachel Berry. If this is Barbara Streisand, then please call me back multiple times until I answer. If not, then leave me a message! Beep!" Great, she won't even answer her phone.

"Hey it's Quinn. I wanted to know where you were! I didn't see you at all today, and I kind of wanted to talk about what happened last night. Call me!"

Right when Quinn ended the call, Rachel called back. Quinn answered.

"Hey." Quinn said.

"Hey, I heard your message."

"Well, uh, wanna come over? My mom won't be home until 10 tonight." Quinn said.

"Sure, I'll be right over. Maybe we can work on the English thing too." Rachel added.

Quinn had a great idea. Rachel will love it!

HALF AN HOUR LATER

*Door bell rings*

Quinn runs to the door and opens it slowly. "Hey Rach. Come upstairs, I have a surprise. Follow me." Quinn ran upstairs with Rachel.

Rachel was so confused. What is the surprise? Quinn opened her bedroom door, and let Rachel walk in first.

"Wow! Is this for me?" Rachel asked. The room was filled with a perfume scent. The lights were dimmed. Classical music on her stereo, and Christmas lights hanging on the wall.

"Yeah, all for you." Quinn said, and hugged Rachel, "And I also ordered Chinese. It's on the table. I know it's just Chinese but I don't know how to cook." Quinn laughed.

"Wow this is all so amazing. What for?" Rachel asked.

"Well, yesterday when we kissed, I felt something that I have never felt before. Fireworks." Quinn said.

"Fireworks?"

"Yes. I love you Rachel, and I wanna be with you." Quinn said. She looked at Rachel, waiting for a smile to cross her face. But it didn't look like Rachel was happy.

"I know I said I loved you yesterday Quinn, but when I went home, I realized that I belong with Finn. He loves me and I do too." Rachel explained to Quinn.

"What? You told me you were gay!" Quinn yelled. She felt so embarrassed. Quinn started pacing around her room. "I can't believe this." She whispered to herself.

"Quinn I am so sorry. I made a mistake. If Finn ever finds out, I'll never forgive myself."

"Rachel. I'm sorry too. I saw Finn and Brittany making out today at school. It didn't look like he was pushing away." Quinn told Rachel.

Rachel looked horrified. "But he said he loved me!"She sat on Quinn's bed and started crying. Her mascara ran down her cheek with tears. Quinn sat beside her and rubbed her back.

"Rachel, I am so sorry."

They hugged each other and Quinn couldn't help herself. She leaned in and kissed Rachel softly. "If you want to get over Finn, or if you do, come over."

Quinn walked Rachel to her car. When she turned on her car, Rachel waved and mouthed the words "Thank you." And drove away.

Quinn went back inside and lied down on her bed. "What a day."
