Chapter 4

It was Tuesday. It was the day she got her cheerleader uniform back, the day everyone looked at her, not because she was the girl who got pregnant last year, but because she was the prettiest cheerio in school, because people accepted her and admired her now that she was on that uniform.

She was enjoying the attention that she was getting, when she looked them in the eyes, they would look away, ashamed for being caught when they were staring at her.

The old Quinn Fabray was back.

When she got into the classroom, everybody was looking at her, and started to whisper. She sat right next to Santana as she always did in Spanish class. When Mister Schue got into the class, everybody got quiet. Quinn smiled discretely at him, and he did the same to her.

The blonde looked at Santana, hoping that she hadn't noticed that smile. The rest of the hour, the only interactions between Quinn and Schue were when she asked some questions.

"Quinn…"he said when the bell rang "Could you stay for a minute?"

Santana and Quinn looked at each other for a minute, Quinn knew what her friend was thinking "What the hell did you do?" , she shacked her head in response to that thought.

"Don't wait for me; I'll see you at the cafeteria" Santana left as soon as her friend said those words.

Both waited, till they were sure that she wasn't around, that they were completely alone. Schue leaned on his desk, and so did Quinn in one of the tables.

"Nice uniform" he said.

"Thanks" she laughed "Is there something wrong, Mister Schuester?"

"Ehh no…sorry if you got worried. I did my homework, and I think I found that coffee shop that you mentioned" he took out a small paper from his notebook "This is the address, and the name"

"Oh my God" she said looking at the paper with a big smile on her face "It is, Puck lives not too far away from there, thank you, Mister Schue"

"You are welcome. Well…first go there and see if it really is the place you were talking about, and if it is, you can thank me then"

Quinn laughed.

"I thank you, for the effort and the intention. It doesn't matter if it actually is that place or not" Both smiled at each other for a few seconds. "So…thank you" Schuester nodded. She started to walk away, but she came back to him "Maybe, you would like to find it out with me?"

"Ahm…" he was nervous, and so did the blonde. If she felt stupid last time for asking him out for a dinner, now she did not only feel stupid, but also ridiculous.

"Just….I'll be there on Saturday, probably at twelve, if you want, you can join me" she started to walk away again.

"Quinn!" he yelled when she had one step out of the door. She turned around, this time, they stayed quiet "I'll…I'll see you there"

She smiled and looked at the floor ashamed, but happy.

"Okay, see you there" this time she left. He laughed, because the happiness he was feeling right now was intense.

He walked to the teacher's lounge. When he came in, he took a seat right next to Emma and Beiste, both were talking about their last weekend, he could hear how Emma mentioned how wonderful was Carl a couple of times, and how Beiste talked about the chicken that she had just eaten.

"Will" said Beiste to catch his attention "Don't you want to join us next Saturday?"

"Sorry, what?" he asked.

"We wanted to go out next Saturday to a restaurant, you know…Beiste, Carl and me…" explained Emma, she was worried about how Will would react to the mention of her boyfriend's name.

"Oh…I already have plans" he said smiling.

"For dinner?" asked Emma.

"Yeah…well, no, but maybe I will be busy" he was lying. He did have plans, but not for the dinner, and he knew he wouldn't be busy at that time, but he didn't feel like going out with Emma and Carl, but then he felt guilty for leaving Shannon alone with those two. "You know what? I'll be there, just text me the name of the restaurant"

"Sure" replied Emma "And what are your plans before the dinner?"

"Oh…" he knew, he knew he couldn't mention his plans with Quinn, cause if he did, they would get in trouble "I will have lunch with my parents"

"That sounds nice" said Emma smiling at him, deep inside, she was afraid of him dating again.

Will nodded. Beiste knew something was odd in all that, she knew that he was lying, but she did not understand why he would lie about his plans. Meanwhile, at the cafeteria, Quinn was hearing how her friends were making plans for that Friday night.

Artie was the one who was organizing everything; they would watch a horror movie, and later they would have dinner at Bread Sticks.

"Who's in?" asked Artie.

"My mom and Burt wanted to take us out for dinner, sorry Artie, but this time, Kurt and I won't be able to do it" said Finn.

"I am going to the theater with my parents" Mercedes.

"Santana and I were going to make out…well, to be honest, we would also do it while we watched the movie with all of you"

"What if we do it on Saturday? Instead we could have lunch and then we could watch the movie" suggested Tina.

"No" said Quinn as sun as she heard the day "I mean…why don't we do it as we planned; movie and then dinner. I already have plans for lunch"

"Sorry Quinn, I think most of us prefer that hour" said Kurt. Everyone agreed.

"Well…I am sorry; I won't be able to go" she answered while she stood up. She wasn't upset, she was just avoiding the questions about her plans, and the only person who noticed that strategy, was Kurt.

While the rest commented how unfair was that Quinn got upset, he watched her leave and observed carefully how his friend felt relieved as soon as she left the cafeteria.
