Quinn's POV on her getting ready for her date with Jesse :]


"Puck, for the last time, I don't want to come see your new trophy in Mario Kart!" Quinn yelled over the sound of the blaring music coming from the other room. She slammed the door to her bedroom and threw herself on the bed in frustration. It was nearly 4:30 and she was suffering from last minute "what to wear" syndrome. She cursed herself for not leaving more time to get ready. With Finn she had been just able to throw on any outfit and he wouldn't notice the difference, but this was different. She had never been out with a senior before. Her date with Jesse, if you could even call it a date, was in 30 minutes and she prayed she didn't look as disheveled as she felt. She sat up from the bed and walked over to the dresser. Since she had moved in with Puck, his mom had given her the guest bedroom which meant she had to put up with its foreign decorating. Various pictures of different Jewish leaders and icons were hung all over the walls and the furniture looked as though it had been hand-carved be Joseph the Carpenter himself.

She pulled open one of the heavy dresser drawers and dug around searching for something suitable to wear. She pulled out a white baby-doll dress with small ruffles around the sleeves and collar, pairing it was a yellow three-quarter sleeved sweater. She then took a deep breath and turned towards the mirror groaning when she saw her reflection. Her hair was thrown in a messy bun and she had dark circles under her eyes. Her once-perfect frame now had the large baby bump to account for and the baggy sweatshirt no longer did her any favors either. She sighed and quickly slipped into the new outfit, regretting she didn't leave enough time for a shower.

After she was dressed, she pulled the elastic band out of her hair and shook her hair out. It's natural waves cascaded over her shoulders and she decided that those would have to do. She glanced up at the clock again. 4:42. She breathed a slight sigh of relief and ran to the bathroom grabbing her toothbrush. She gripped the tube of toothpaste and squeezed a dollop onto the bristles. She ran it under the faucet before scrubbing her teeth with it. When she felt like her teeth had been properly cleaned, she spit into the sink and reached for the bottle of mouthwash sitting on the counter. Not wanting to use the same cap that Puck did she searched around under the sink for a paper cup or something to use when she heard a small voice call out from behind her.

"Whatcha doing Quinn?" Oh, it was just Puck's younger sister Sarah.

"Just looking for a paper cup or something" Quinn said sheepishly gesturing to the mouthwash.

"I'll get it, I'll get it!" Sarah exclaimed grinning before she took off down the hallway. Quinn smiled in spite of herself. She loved that peppy energy that Sarah had and hoped through weird genetics that Beth would inherit the same. In what seemed like seconds later, Sarah came racing back carrying a mug that was supposed to read "World's Best Dad" but someone had crossed out in sharpie and written "Mom" in it's place.

"I couldn't find any paper cups, but I hope that this is okay!" Sarah thrust the mug into Quinn's hands and sat there grinning, like a puppy who had just properly fetched a tennis ball. Quinn couldn't help but laugh and smiled kindly at Sarah.

"Thanks Sarah, it's perfect" Quinn said while pouring some of the mouthwash into the mug and take a sip. Sarah sat and watched, studying Quinn as she sloshed the blue liquid in her mouth and then spit it out into the sink. Quinn looked over at her again, smiling.

"Hey kiddo, why don't you go tell Puck I'm going out and I'll be back later, kay?" Sarah speed nodded and took off towards the family room where Puck was.

Quinn smiled after her and turned again towards the bathroom mirror. She sloshed some cold water on her face and checked her cell phone. 4:53. She breathed another sigh of relief. She was back on schedule with time to spare. She shook out her hair once more and added a few bobby pins to keep her bangs out of her face. Once she was finished in the bathroom, she walked out of the bathroom and back down the hallway to her bedroom, stopping in to look for a pair of gold flats to complete her outfit. She dug around in what she called her "shoe box" until she found both of them, slipping them gently onto her feet. She made her way around the twisted hallways and finally down the stairs until she reached the sitting room near the front door. She grabbed her purse off the ground where she had left it from the day before and plopped on the brown couch.

She glanced at her phone again. 4:58. Not bad, only 28 minutes she thought as she smiled to herself one last time and looked out the window, waiting for Jesse to arrive.


I just felt like I should show both Quinn and Jesse's perspectives on them getting ready for their "date", haha! Be prepared, Jesse's version is coming up next and it will be LONG(er) xD
