Chapter 7 You're Stuck With Me:


The teens walk through the hall way side by side. The kids gawk at the sight they are sure is imagined. Ryan begins to tense under the stares of others around him. Quinn can feel the tension rolling of the boy beside her. The blonde turns her head slightly towards Ryan.

"Just relax Ryan." Quinn whispers so only Ryan can hear.

Ryan takes a deep breath. "I don't know why I didn't think about all the stares we would get from us being friendly."

Quinn lightly rolls her eyes before glaring at the student body who quickly diverts their gaze.

"Let them stare Ryan. You're my friend now I don't plan on getting rid of you just because some teens can't keep their eyes to themselves."

The brunette glances over a Quinn and she gives him a quick smile.

"I mean it Ry. You're my friend now, you're stuck with me."

They arrive at Ryan's locker first. The geek opens his locker as Quinn stands beside him. The blonde spots the two-thirds of the Unholy trinity approaching down the opposite side of the hall.

"Uh I have to go. See you in class?"

Ryan nods and Quinn flashes him another quick smile before leaving.

The brunette gets the books he needs for class and puts the rests up then heads to class.


Quinn approaches her two best friends waiting for her at her locker. The blonde doesn't acknowledge them right away deciding to open her locker first.

Santana scoffs and folds her arms over her chest, cocking her hip out.

Quinn peeks around her locker door at the Latina "What was that Santana?" her voice flat and monotone.

"Don't play dumb with me Q. I saw you being all buddy buddy with twinkle toes. Is that why you were so ready to join the glee club? You have the hots for geeky galore." Santana sneers.

Quinn raises an eyebrow at Santana's words. She finishes getting the stuff she needs out of her locker before closing the door and turning to face Santana with an unimpressed face.

"We're just friends Santana that's all"

The Latina just stares at her captain not fully believing the blonde. Brittany can feel the fight brewing between the two and latches her pinky with Santana's. The tension leaves Santana's body from the bubbly blondes touch.

"San, leave Quinn and Ryan alone. I think they look cute together."

"We're just friends." Quinn fires back quickly.

Brittany just smirks mischievously before replying, "Sure, for now."

Quinn mouth opens and closes looking for something to say. Brittany pulls Santana away from the speechless blonde and down the hall.

Quinn watches them leave and sighs shaking her head. The blonde heads to her first period.
