The next day, hype about Vallen still circulated around the school. One example was in Spanish class.

"Everybody pair up. We're going to be reviewing our basic conversations." Mr. Schuster told the class.

Quinn barely even blinked, before the area around her table was surrounded by all the girls and Kurt.

The group quickly vanished as Vallen said who his partners would be. "Well, since I'm sure you know Spanish a lot better than I do; how about we have three people in a group?" Vallen was talking to Kurt at the time, since Kurt pushed his way to the front and managed to have Vallen as his partner. "Quinn Fabray, do you mind being in our group?"

Quinn's head quickly turned to her table partner, "You want me to be in your group?"

"You want her to be in our group?" Kurt raised an eyebrow.

"Well, if either of you don't mind of course."

Quinn smiled, "I'd love to be in your group."

"Fantastic. Are you alright with that Kurt?"

Kurt glared at Quinn quickly, but smiled at Vallen. "Of course not."

"Great, so who wants to begin?"

Kurt raised his hand and spoke, "Vallen, ¿Qué te gusta?"

Vallen paused to think, then spoke, "Me gusta la guitarra, el tambores, el piano, los deportes, cantar, y muchas otras cosas."

"You can play the piano?" Kurt inquired.

"Yeah, along with guitar and drums. What about you?"

"I can play piano."

"Very cool. What about you Miss Fabray?"

"I'm not musically inclined," Quinn shrugged.

"Well, your voice more than makes up for it," Vallen smiled.

Kurt was off in his own world. Ah, we'll be like Siegfried and Roy, except beautiful and super talented. And neither of us will be mauled by a tiger. Hmm...better yet, we'll be

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka.

Quinn bit her lip as she tried to translate what the Englishman was saying. I think I am. Quinn said as she answered her question from the day before.

During lunch, Vallen passed by the various tables, kindly declining several offers and sat down at the Glee table. "Hello. Do you mind if I sit here?"

Tina smiled, "O-Of course not. Y-You're a part of G-Glee club now. This is y-your table as much as it is ours."

"Thank you for being so kind," he began eating his school food. A few bites later, he made a face.

"Dude, you okay?" Matt chuckled.

"This food is...I hope this doesn't sound rude, but this food is terrible."

Mike laughed, "Yes, it is. But, we all have learned to just ignore the taste and somehow get full off of it. Cause we definitely need our strength for football."

"Vallen, have you thought about joining the football team?" Matt questioned.

"Actually, yes I have. I'm thinking about asking the coach today after school. You have practice, right?"

"Yeah."

"Good, so, I'm definitely going to try out."

"Try out for what?" Mercedes asked, taking her seat at the table.

"Football, afterschool."

"You're trying out for football?!" Kurt practically screamed as he got to the table. All the girls in the cafeteria turned their heads and listened.

"Yes Kurt, I'm trying out for football." Whispers broke out as the girls turned back to their tables. "I heard that you're kicker and you won them a game. That's really cool."

Kurt blushed and quickly took his seat.

Puck, Finn, and Rachel arrived at the table. Quinn and Artie, soon after.

Vallen quickly stood up and offered the seat next to him to Quinn.

She smiled and they both sat down. "So, are you fluent in Spanish?"

He shook his head, "No, not really. I've only learned a few words here and there. My tutor never really went in depth with Spanish. I learned mostly French."

"Y-You know French?" Tina asked.

"I'm not fluent, but my French is a lot better than my Spanish."

"Hey Vallen!" Brittany called from behind. Standing next to her was Santana.

"Brittany, how are you today?"

"Really good," she smiled and took a seat across from him. "Can I ask you a question about Math? Cause you really helped me out with Science."

"Sure. What do you need help with?"

"Well, yesterday in Glee, I was thinking about rainbows. And the question: "What is the square root of a rainbow?" popped into my mind."

Confused looks occupied the faces of all at the table, except for Vallen. He just smiled and said, "Well, Brittany. I'm assuming that you got the answer rainbow from the square root of four, right?"

She nodded.

"The thing is..." Vallen's words continued to flow although no one but Brittany paid attention.

Quinn watched the way a small dimple formed whenever the British man laughed or smiled. I don't get it. How can I be falling for someone again? She watched the way he was so patient with Brittany and smiled. He would be a great father. What am I saying? Father? Don't get ahead of yourself Quinn. You don't even know him. Just because a good-looking guy flashes a dozen charming smiles in your direction, does not mean that he even likes you. Quinn sighed. You're having a baby, and you are going to do it yourself. No boys. No one. Her confidence faltered when Vallen smiled at her.

Finn noticed Quinn staring at Vallen. He watched how she would smile, then sigh, then completely lose her breath with just one look at the guy. S-She never looked at me like that. And she's having my baby. He looked over at Rachel and noticed her staring intently at Vallen. What is it with this guy? I mean, Rachel's even looking at him? Finn frowned and ate his lunch.

Rachel crossed her arms. How is he that good? Does he practice scales every single night like I do? I don't think so. Mr. Schuster better not have him do solos. If anyone's doing a solo here, it will be me. Oh...or Finn.

Puck kept his head down, but took glances at Quinn. I'm not a deadbeat. I could take care of that baby. Puck noticed Quinn's eyes where glued to the new guy. So what if he can sing?

Everyone broke out of their thoughts and conversations when Brittany jumped up and clapped.

Vallen grinned, "So, do you understand now, Brittany?"

"Yeah! You made it so much easier. Why didn't anyone tell me that the square root of four is plus or minus two? Where did people get rainbow from?"

"I have no idea." The lunch bell rang and students began leaving the cafeteria. Vallen helped Quinn from her seat and asked, "Would it be alright if I walked you to your next class? We do have it together."

Quinn was about to answer when Finn cut in, "Actually, dude, I was wondering if I could talk to Quinn before the next period."

"Of course. Maybe next time, Miss Quinn Fabray. Finn, do you mind if I walk with Rachel, then?"

"Naw, it's cool. I'll see you later Rach," he gave her a kiss on the cheek then he walked with Quinn out of the cafeteria. He stopped and asked, "Quinn, are you mad at me or something?"

She shook her head, "No, of course not. Why would I be mad at you?"

"Well, because I'm dating Rachel now."

"Finn, it's fine. I even told you to go after Rachel."

"Good. Uhm...do you like the new guy?"

Quinn froze, "W-What?"

"Well, I kind of think you like the new guy. I'm t-totally okay with it, I-I just want to know, you know?"

"Uhm...I...Finn, I'm gonna be late to class. I'll talk to you later, okay?" she quickly scurried off before Finn could say anything else.

"You're a very good singer, Rachel," Vallen stated as they walked to class.

"Thank you. I've had a lot of practice and training. I practice scales every night. How often do you practice?" Rachel asked.

"I practice every other day. I would practice everyday if I had time."

"Oh, I see." Rachel smirked. Exactly what I thought.

"Yeah. The days I can't practice are usually because I'm helping out. My parents and I, we do a lot of charity work. But it's not really work if you love doing it. The people you meet...they have the greatest stories and some of them have amazing talents. I try to teach the children how to play instruments and at the end of everyday, we put on a performance for everyone. Some of the little girls there rival your talent, Miss Berry."

Rachel's smirk turned into a grin, "I'm sure they do."

The pair finally made it to their next class and sat down right before the bell rang.

Afterschool during football practice, a portion of the bleachers was surprisingly filled. Word spread of Vallen trying out, which is the cause for the numerous amounts of girls and the Glee club sitting in the bleachers cheering him on.

Vallen executed every play perfectly. He ran down the field in seconds, no one being able to catch him.

Ken Tanaka patted him on the back and announced, "This here is Vallen Walker. He is our new running back."

The guys on the team clapped hands and congratulated him. Except for two.

Finn. Why is he good at everything?

Puck. Damn it! Why didn't all of these girls show up when I tried out? Damn it!

Mike clapped. We might actually have a chance! Now, about those pop-and-lock moves...

Matt. This dude is tight.

Kurt. He's a jock! A musical jock! I'm in love.

From the sidelines Santana waved at Vallen. Hot.

Brittany smiled and clapped. Go Vallen! Oh, I didn't say that out loud. Oh well. Go Vallen!

From the bleachers.

Artie. Vallen's really cool. Maybe he can help me with Tina.

Tina. I-I really should g-go to a doctor.

Mercedes. White guy scores again. He's definitely cool in my book.

Rachel. I guess he's not that bad. Maybe he can have one solo. Better yet, a duet.

Quinn blushed when she noticed Vallen smiling and waving up at her from the field. Get a hold of yourself Quinn. Remember, you don't need a guy to raise a baby. But...maybe having one won't be so bad.

Vallen grinned when Quinn waved back. Day two at McKinley. Amazing.
