Chapter 4: I'm Still Me
"Quinn...are you sure that you can see?" Zoey asked.
"Yeah, I can see everything!" she exclaimed.
"Okay, how many fingers am I holding up?" Nicole jumped off the bed and ran to the other side of the room." She held her hand up behind her head.
"I can see that you're holding up five fingers on your left hand and I see two of your fingers poking out from behind you so I guess...you're technically holding up...seven."
Nicole gasped, "She really can see!"
"This is great Quinn, now you don't have to worry about wearing those dorky glasses anymore!" Dana said.
"What's wrong with my glasses?" Quinn asked.
"Oh! Nothing, I just meant we can all see your face now and we're not distracted by the glasses!" She said trying to play it off.
Quinn looked down at her lap and began to twidle with her glasses.
"What's the matter?" Zoey asked.
Quinn sighed, "No one is going to notice that my glasses are gone. They're just going to notice the horrid scars on my face from the acid. I'm never going to look normal again. Why did I have to break up with Mark in the first place? It wasn't even that big of a deal. I knew I was smothering him...it..it was just all my fault. None of this would have happened if it weren't for me." Quinn fell onto her pillow and began to cry.
"It's okay Quinn. We're here for you. No one is going to say anything about you. Just because you have a little scar on your face, doesn't make you, not Quinn. You're fine just the way you are." Zoey gave Quinn a hug and was soon joined by Nicole and Dana.
"Well we're going to go now. If you need us, just come to our dorm." Zoey said as she climbed of the bed.
"Thanks you guys." Quinn said as she watched her friends walk out of the room. She let out a sigh and fell asleep.
The next day
It was about 7:50 am and Zoey, Chase, and the rest of the gang were down at breakfast. Everyone except for Quinn. Zoey came from the lunch line and sat her tray down next to Chase's.
"Hey you guys." She said.
Chase looked around as Nicole and Dana joined them.
"Where's Quinn?" He asked.
"I think she's still in her dorm. I felt so bad for her last night. She's really self concious about her scars." Zoey said.
"Yeah, but the weirdest thing happened." Nicole began.
"What happened?" Michael asked nugding Chase's tray to make room for himself.
"Okay, you know how some of the chemical mixture got into her eyes...and she had to wear that bandage thingy? Well, she..." Before Nicole could finish, she heard a voice coming from behind her. The group turned around and noticed someone standing in the door frame.
"Hi guys!" The girl was dressed in an outrageous outfit splashed with every color of the rainbow. Although it seemed a bit tacky, it still had some sort of suttle cuteness to it.
"Woah! Are you a new student?" Chase asked with wide eyes.
"Do you need me to get your lunch tray for you? I'm Michael and I'm the tour guide for new students and..." The girl cut them off.
"No I'm not a new student, silly...it's me Quinn!" It was Quinn walking through the door with a huge grin on her face.
"Quinn!" Michael and Chase both said together.
"Yeah, it's just me." she said.
"Quinn!" They said again.
"Didn't she just say that she was?" Dana said with a smart attitude.
"Oh my gosh Quinn! You look so different," Zoey said.
"Thanks. What's so different about me?" Quinn asked.
"You're scars...they're like...gone!" Nicole said excitedly.
"I know!" Quinn exclaimed.
"But how did you..." Zoey was cut off.
"I don't know where they went! I just fell asleep and I woke up and then, they were gone!"
"But, all of your pimples and blemishes are gone too! No offense..." Dana said with a shocked look on her face.
"Thanks...I think." she said. "It's not that big of a deal you guys. I guess that means I'm just back to normal. Nothing's changed. I'm still ordinary Quirkish Quinn! Besides, no one's going to notice me anyways." Just as Quinn sat down, Dustin ran inside.
"Zoey! I fell down on the way inside and now my knee is bleeding!" Dustin cried.
"Dustin, it's just a little scrape it will be okay." Zoey said reasuringly.
"Well, I could always give you a hypo-allergenic santizer. It will take the hurt out instantly!" Quinn said. Dustin turned around and looked at her.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Dustin! That's Quinn!" Zoey said with a giggle.
"You're Quinn!"
"Yeah it's me!" she said. "Now about that santizer..." as she was talking, Dustin then let out a huge gasp and fainted.
