Chapter 2- Promises, Promises
The next morning Quinn came to school and saw Jack standing near her locker.
"Told you I'd be here." He smirked.
Quinn raised her eyebrows with surprise.
"You really do keep your promises." She was suspicious about why he was coming on to her so strong.
She put her cheer bag into her locker and grabbed her books for first period without saying anything more. She shut her locker and stared at him for a second.
"Want me to walk you to class?" He asked, breaking the moment of silence.
Quinn looked around awkwardly as if she was about to do something illegal.
"Sure," She finally responded.
They linked arms and walked to their first period class, which they happened to have together. English class. Quinn didn't really care for English but she was happy she had it first period so she could get it over with first thing in the morning. Her and Jack walked into the class together and sat down at two desks in the back next to each other.
"So, Quinn. May I have your phone number?" Jack asked as soon as they say down.
Quinn look at Jack with her eyebrows drawn together and a slight smile on her face.
"Why?" She questioned.
"Come on, you can tell there's something between us, right?" Jack grinned a little. "It can't be just me."
Quinn smiled and her cheeks got a little blushed.
"Ok," Quinn replied. "Sure." She said, taking out a piece of notebook paper from her binder and writing down her number. "Just no creepy talk or sexting." She told him with a smile.
Jack held up his hands in protest.
"No sexting? Kinda harsh, don't you think?" He asked.
Quinn looked at him with an offended look on her face.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding." Jack said as he took the paper with her number written on it before she could change her mind.
Rachel stormed into the classroom and sat down at the desk in front of Quinn.
"Can you believe Finn thought I was breaking up with him when I sang that song yesterday in Glee club? If anything I was helping our relationship." Rachel said so quickly it was almost hard to keep up with what she was saying.
"Well, you did sing kind of aggressively," Quinn said to her.
"How-" Rachel was going to start ranting again but suddenly realized there was another person sitting next to Quinn. "Well hello there. Jack, right? If you're going to join my glee club you better be good at singing. I am not going to lose sectionals just because of you." Rachel said almost accusingly. "You're a sophomore? You look older." She asked, suddenly changing the subject.
Jack widened his eyes and raised his eyebrows, taken back by how much she able to say in so little time.
"Yes, I am a sophomore, and yes. I can sing well, I won't ruin.. whatever you thought I might ruin." He tried to cover everything she asked.
"Sectionals," Rachel corrected, sounding irritated.
Quinn laughed a little at Rachel and Jack's conversation. Rachel glared at her.
"Are you sure he's not trying to move things a little too fast?" Quinn asked Mercedes for reassurance as they made their way to lunch. "I heard a rumor that he still has a girlfriend in Michigan. I can not just be some side whore he goes to when he can't get anything from his distant girlfriend."
"Quinn, stop worrying. If he had a girlfriend, don't you think they'd be broken up by now? A long distance relationship like that is impossible in high school. I think you should just go for him, he seems great." Mercedes tried to ease Quinn's suspicions.
"Yeah I guess you're right. Maybe I should just give him a chance," Quinn agreed.
Santana caught up to Quinn and Mercedes and flipped her ponytail.
"So I hear you and Jack are gettin' it on." Santana said with a smirk.
Quinn's jaw dropped.
"Excuse me?" Quinn asked.
"He was just bragging to some people about how he got your number." Santana informed her. "I think it's great, he's the hottest boyfriend you've ever had."
Quinn let out a slight laugh.
"Whatever Santana." Quinn said with another small laugh. "Just make sure you remember whose boyfriend he is."
"Boyfriend?" Mercedes blurted out.
"Oh, uh. Yeah I guess. I mean he did ask for my number didn't he?" Quinn's attitude about Jack suddenly changed for the better.
Mercedes patted Quinn on the shoulder.
"Alright girl, just promise you'll be safe."
