The Nerd & The Cheerio ch. 25
Rachel's POV
To say that I'm nervous would be the understatement of the millennium because I wasn't expecting Quinn to go out with me, let alone admit that she has feelings for me but she does. Now I have to plan a date after the game on Friday and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing to do or what I am going take the head Cheerio but I know that it has be spectacular and memorable because she's worth it.
I want to show the angel that I am worth taking a shot on, that I am worthy of her affections, that she means more to me than she will ever know but I can't do that if I have nothing planned which is why I called this meeting in the auditorium with the guys during lunch. Well to be honest, I was hiding in here when they came looking for me but that's not the point because I need all the help that I can get and these guys are the best that I can do. The guys are sitting on the floor of the stage as I'm standing in front of a portable dry erase board as I write the words 'Ideas for Date with Quinn' in black marker before turning around to face them.
"Okay guys, I need ideas and I need them to be mind-blowing"
"You took take her bowling" Sam offers.
"Sam, I say mind-blowing, not mind-numbing" I deadpanned.
"Take her to the movie" Mike said shrugging his shoulders.
"Not good enough" I said shaking my head.
"Well she's the brainy type so take her to a bookstore or something like that" Puck said balancing a pencil on his upper lip.
"It could work but not for a first date. Guys, I need you to get serious because I want this work out" I said running my hand through my hair.
"Rach, whatever you decide to do, I'm sure that Quinn'll love because you put effort into it" Sam said giving me a thumbs-up.
"I know Sam but I don't want to screw up. I want this to prefect and show her that I'm worth of her affections" I said sighing.
"Rachel, if anyone's worthy of Quinn's affections it's you because who else would put themselves in harm's way by joining the football team just to impress them. Is now agonizing over planning a date to show them that they care" Puck said placing his hands on my shoulders. "Rachel, you got this. Me and the guys have faith in you to pull this"
I looked at Sam and Mike who are giving thumbs-ups with goofy smiles on theirs faces and I know that they do believe me, making grateful that I have them in my life because I don't know what I would be doing without them. Probably pulling my hair out or pacing back and forth on the stage. I'm glad that they're here.
"I got it!" Mike said snapping his fingers.
"You got what?" Sam asked raising an eyebrow.
"Rachel can take Quinn to that new Italian restaurant that just opened up. My Mom knows the guy that owns it and I'm sure that she could reservations if I ask her" Mike said grinning.
"Seriously? If you can do that, I will owe you big time Mike" I said smiling.
"I'll ask her after school and I'll let you know if I got the reservations or not" said Mike.
"Takes care of dinner but what am I going to after that" I said scratching my head.
"There's a smooth jazz concert playing in the park"
We jumped in surprise of the other person that we didn't know that was in the auditorium until now and we turned to see that it was Gabby who has sad and broken hearten look on her face. I hate that I put that look on her face but I didn't know that she had romantic feelings until yesterday and I feel horrible for not knowing about her feelings and yet having being rejected by me, she's attempting to help which is surprising.
"Why?"
"I heard Quinn talking about wanting to go and you asked for ideas for where to take here" Gabby said taking a interest in her shoes.
"I mean why are you helping me? I thought that you were upset with me" I said confused.
"I was upset but not with you and I'm helping you because you're my friend. You were the only one here that wanted to be friends with just regular me and not because I'm on the Cheerios" Gabby said smiling half-heartedly.
I walked over towards the edge of the stage, hopping off of it as I held out my arms towards the cheerleader as she looks at me with a confused look on her face before hesitantly walking towards me. She wraps her arms around loosely as I pulled her in for a hug because I am grateful for her help and putting aside her hurt feelings in trying to help woo Quinn because I know that doing this must be quite painful for her to do. I know that the Latina didn't have to but she didn't get it anyways because of how much our friendship means to her and I appreciate it because it means a lot to me as well.
"You don't know how much this means to me. Thank you, Gabby" I said hugging her.
"You're welcome, Rachel" Gabby said pulling away.
"Does this mean that we're still friends?"
"Yes but I think I'm need some time to sort out my feelings" Gabby said rubbing the back of her neck.
"I understand" I said with a nod. "Take as much time as you need"
"Thanks and good luck on your date" Gabby said turning to leave.
"Look like I have a date planned out" I said turning to face the guys.
Noah hops off of the stage before making his way in the direction that Gabby walked to and I instantly knew what he was planning on doing as I quickly reached out to grab him by the collar of his shirt. He groans as his shirt slightly chokes him before turning to glare for stopping him but I don't want Gabby to become one of his many conquests because she's my friend and deserves better than that.
"Don't Noah, just don't unless you plan on treating her right" I said frowning.
"What? I'm just gonna let her have a ride on the Puckster" Puck said wriggling his eyebrows.
"I'm serious, Puck. Gabby's feeling pretty vulnerable right now and the last thing that she needs right now is your dick inside of her"
"Wow, you must be serious if you're using vulgar language but once she's not vulnerable, I'm so tapping that" Puck said stuffing his hands into his pockets.
That's all that his thinks about but what can I expect from the self proclaimed sex shark. I hopped to the stage, wiping the words off of the dry erase board as the guys towards the cafeteria and I grab my backpack, walking out of the auditorium when a microphone is shoved into my face to see that it's Jacob Ben Israel. God, I can't stand this guy. He's such a creep. Jacob is the most annoying person here at McKinley as he's lowest of the low on the totem pole and what's even worse that this guy has a creepy crush on me even he knows that I have a penis as well as an interest solely in girls. I have tried many times to ignore his advances and I have turned him down for dates so many times that it's just pathetic how the guys keeps coming back for more but he gets more and more aggressive in his attempts. Once Jacob asked for my boxer and I flat out him told him no but it doesn't stop him from asking because he's a persistent little bugger.
"So, Rachel is it true?"
"Is what true?" I asked pushing his mic out of my face.
"Is it true that that Quinn Fabray: Head Cheerio, President of the Celibacy and future Prom Queen asked you, Rachel Berry, new Running Back out on a date? My readers need to know"
"Who told you about that?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"I have my sources so answer the question" Jacob said pushing his mic into my face again
"If you have sources then you already know the answer" I said rolling my eyes.
"I need to know the truth from you so I can post it on my blog"
"Jacob if you don't get that mic out of my face, I swear you'll be removing it from where the sun don't shine" I said glaring at him.
"I love it when you talk dirty to me, baby. It's hot" Jacob said smirking. "If you're going out with Fabray then why don't go out with me? Say eight tomorrow night"
"How about not even in your dreams?"
"JewFro, if you don't step away from Rachel now, you won't live long enough to post anything on that stupid blog of yours"
We turned to see Quinn standing a few feet away with her arms crossed over her chest, glaring menacingly at Jacob who looks like he's about to piss his pants any second now. The head Cheerio struts down the hall like she's own the place which she pretty much does and she rocks it very well as she's at my side in a flash then reaches out to take my hand in hers.
"Yes, I did ask Rachel out on a date this Friday after the game and if I catch you anywhere her again. I will make your high school at McKinley even more of a living hell than it already is. Got it?" Quinn threatens.
"G-G-Got it" Jacob said before scrambling down the hallway.
"You didn't have to do that"
"I don't have to but I want it to. You protect me from jerks like Finn and I protect you from creeps like JewFro" Quinn said smiling.
"You truly are amazing, Quinn Fabray" I said smiling lovingly.
Quinn stares at me for a moment then looks away shyly as her pale cheeks flush, pushing a lock of hair behind her ear and I raise an eyebrow at her uncharacteristic shyness but finding it rather adorable because I never seen this side of her before. I tucked my index and middle fingers under her chin, lifting it so she's looking me in the eyes before leaning forward and capturing her lips in a chaste yet passionate kiss as pleasurable shockwaves through us.
A small moan escapes the head Cheerio's plump lips causing me to twitch in my pants and I pull away slightly before we get too carried away as she lets out a discontent whimper. I giggle a little before giving her a quick peck on the lips as I rest my forehead against mine, wrapping my arms around her waist to keep her close as I look into those expressive hazel eyes with the brown and gold specks. It's hard to believe that I'm going out with Quinn Fabray, the most popular and most beautiful girl at McKinley but I am and I know that I have to make this date prefect as she is because she's more than worth it.
"Rachel?"
"Yes?"
"You're staring" Quinn said smirking
"S-Sorry" I said letting out a nervous laugh. "It's j-just you have really p-p-pretty eyes and I k-kinda got l-lost in t-them"
"Oh really?" Quinn asked as her voice drops seductively.
"I-um-uh-you-I-don't"
"Are you always this articulate?" Quinn asked giggling amused.
"Quinn!" I whine.
"Calm down Rachel, I'm only teasing you"
"You're such a tease" I said pouting.
"Only with you… baby" Quinn said pecking on the lips.
I groan as she leads me towards the cafeteria. Dear God, Quinn Fabray is going to be the cause of death for me.
