Rachel watched Quinn as she followed her siblings not looking at anyone her hands resting in the pockets of her

hooded letterman. Quinn put the hood of her letterman up covering her hair which saddened Rachel a bit. The

blonde looked sad and far off...like she wasn't really there or that she definitely didn't want to be. But she could see

that Quinn was hurting or that something was wrong with her Rachel wanted to make her smile or at least grin...

"Are you eyeing the mysterious Quinn Fabray?" Kurt said pulling her eyes away from the hooded beauty as she

turned to look at him.

"Yes...I mean she's very pretty in a tall dark and mysterious way...like she doesn't want to

know anyone or she hasn't met anyone worth knowing."

"That sounds a bit stuck up," Mike noted and Rachel shook

her head "no I don't think she's stuck up at all. She looks well hurt like something has crippled her emotionally. I

mean I don't know her but that's just what I observed."

She finished shrugging not noticing that the whole table was gaping at her.

Kurt squeaked "how... I mean it's like you see through her wall of distance she puts up around

everyone."

Rachel smiled "Quinn Fabray" she whispered intending to finish her thought but something told her to

turn around. When she did she saw Quinn looking at her, dead at her. Rachel hadn't seen her eyes before they

were a clear hazel with little specks of gold. She prided herself on her impeccable eyesight. They stayed like that for

what seemed like an eternity then Quinn turned around putting her head in her hands. Rachel felt herself let out a

long overdue breath she hadn't realized that she'd been holding and stared at Quinn's back for a moment then she

turned around.

"OMG!" Kurt exclaimed, Rachel turned her head to the boy smiling slightly at his ridicules antics.

"You got Quinn to look at you and all you said was her name! How did you do that?"

"I didn't do anything..." Kurt was practically jumping in his seat

"Rachel Quinn never looks at anybody." Mercedes chimed in and Tina nodded in agreement.

Rachel shrugged "she only looked at me it's not like she talked to me or anything." Kurt made a scoffing noise and

started rambling about how the Fabrays didn't talk to anyone outside their family but Rachel wasn't listening she

kept thinking about the mysterious blonde. There was just something about her more than her physical appearance

that made her feel butterflies. She'd never heard Quinn speak so her voice couldn't be it. What was it? She furrowed

her brow trying to rack her brain for answers when she was pulled out of her daze by the loud bell announcing that

lunch had ended.

Still shaking her head she muttered a goodbye to Kurt and company and headed for her next class bio with Mrs.

Soldman. She took her time getting to that class she didn't want to be early and the new kid at school that was well

it drew too much attention. So when she did finally walk into the room the only seat left was one next to the

mysterious Quinn Fabray. She swallowed and walked over to the seat pausing in front of the teacher's desk to give

her her schedule. The teacher nodded and directed her to the seat next to Quinn. Oh boy she made her way over to

her seat and sat down. The moment she sat down she heard a gagging sound from beside her and saw Quinn cover

her mouth. Did she have a bad body odor? Was it her hair? She smelled her hair it smelled alright to her she looked

at Quinn again who's hand was still over her mouth but she couldn't see her face because her hair and hood were

covering it. She tried to turn her attention back to the teacher but she couldn't focus on anything but the hooded

blonde beside her. She missed the part where Mrs. Soldman passes out specimens for dissection it was some kind of

worm. Quinn glanced at the specimen and pushed it to Rachel she had removed her hand from her mouth and was

intently focused on her notes.
