I know I said I was going on hiatus, but apparently my brain doesn't agree with that decision, so I'm back!

Quinn's POV

I was avoiding going back to my dorm. As much as I loved spending time with Spencer, with her best friends there, it just felt awkward. Or at least that's what it had been this morning. Granted, there had been other contributing factors to the awkwardness. For one, I had opened Spencer's door for them at seven in the morning while Spencer was in the shower. Then there was also that Spencer had come out after one of her friends had barged in on her in nothing but a towel. And of course there's the fact that I'm completely enthralled by Spencer, but of course, she's in love with her boyfriend Toby.

Sometimes I wondered, or rather, found myself hoping and occasionally even believing that she liked me in the same way I liked her. It was things like the conversation we had last night to her moaning my name in her sleep this morning that made me think these things. But really, I was setting myself up for disappointment and I knew it.

I snapped back to reality, away from my wandering mind. My stomach growled, I hadn't eaten much today. I figured that Spencer would take her friends out to eat, so I would probably be safe from running into them in the dining hall. This was good news because I was starving.

I was making a salad at the salad bar when I heard someone come up behind me. I didn't turn around. Whoever was behind me probably was just waiting for me to finish.

"It's Quinn, right?" the person behind me said.

I spun around to see one of Spencer's friends standing there. It was the blonde, the one who had run into the bathroom while Spencer was showering. Hanna, I think that was her name.

Crap. If Hanna's here then that means Spencer's here somewhere. I hoped I wouldn't be stuck in another awkward conversation with the four of them. I just felt like I didn't belong there.

"Uh, yeah," I said, "You're Hanna, right? Spencer's friend?"

Hanna nodded, obviously pleased that I remembered who she was. But then, after this morning, I wasn't sure how she could think I would forget.

"So…" I said, unsure of what to say.

"You like her don't you?" Hanna asked me.

I blinked. Did she really just ask me that? This can't be happening.

"W-what?"

"You know she's got a boyfriend, right?" Hanna said.

Of course I knew she has a boyfriend. Santana and I went to dinner with them.

"Toby, right? Yeah, my friend and I went dinner with them one night. He seems like a nice guy," I said honestly.

"And yet you're still going after Spencer?" Hanna asked, her tone was slightly confused and slightly accusatory.

"Excuse you," I said, "I'm not going after anyone thank you very much. Spencer helped me move in, we became friends. That's it. And for the record, I quite like Toby. They seem happy together, and I wouldn't disrupt that happiness if I wanted to."

I was glaring at the blonde now. She irritated me. I think it was more that she acted like I did when I was in high school that was irritating me.

"I was hoping you'd say that," Hanna smirked, "so now that we've got that out of the way, why don't you come eat with us?"

Hanna pointed to a table where Spencer and her two other friends were already sitting.

Spencer's POV

I saw Hanna and Quinn walking towards us. I gulped, wondering what my best friend might have said to Quinn.

"Look who I found," Hanna said, smirking at me.

I grinned at Quinn. It's astounding how her mere presence just makes me feel almost giddy inside. It's almost impossible to be anything other than happy with Quinn around.

"Hey Quinn," I said, "Care to join us? I'm sure the girls don't mind, right?"

Quinn smiled at me. My heart started to race.

I didn't understand. What's happening to me? Why does this happen? But then, I suppose I already knew the answers, I just didn't want to admit them, because to admit them would be to betray Toby, and that was something I never wanted to do.

"Not at all," Emily said, smiling at Quinn.

I wondered if maybe Emily was interested in Quinn. As much as I love Em, the thought irked me. I wanted Emily to be happy, but I couldn't help but hope that Quinn wouldn't be the person who made her happy.

"So, Quinn," Aria said as Quinn and Hanna sat down.

Oh no. The interrogation is starting.

Quinn's POV

"So, Quinn, what are you majoring in?" the short girl, I think her name was Aria, asked me.

"Dramatic Arts," I answered confidently, "I know it's not the most practical of majors, but I love it, and I figure, as long as I'm doing something I love, I'll be okay."

I saw Spencer's smile broaden at my answer, and I couldn't help but smile noticing that.

"I agree," Aria said, "It's important to love what you do."

"When did you start acting?" the tan girl I recognized as Emily asked.

"Well, I never really did. I think my first actual role was when the Glee club put on Rocky Horror," I said.

"What's a glee club?" Hanna asked.

I laughed, "It's a show choir club."

Hanna and Emily still looked really lost.

"It's like a combination of singing and dancing with a group of people," I said, trying to simplify it.

Aria seemed like she was about to say something when Spencer cut in.

"Guys, chill, it's not like we're dating, you don't need to interrogate her," Spencer said.

My heart sank. It's not like it wasn't true, but there was a part of me that hoped that someday we would. I mean, what I had said to Hanna was true. While Spencer and Toby are happy together, which from what I could tell, they are, I would never interfere with that, but I still held out hope that someday it would be Spencer and I against the world.

"Fine," Hanna said, resigned, "But how else do you expect us to get to know her?"

Spencer looked like she was thinking, choosing how to answer the question.

Slowly, her lips curved into a smirk.

"I have an idea," she said.
