Chapter 4

Quinn spent most of the day with Rebekah. She was grateful that the gorgeous blonde was more than eager to be with her. They had lunch together. Quinn couldn't help but notice that Rebekah didn't even touch her food.

"Why aren't you eating?" she asked

Rebekah shrugged. "I'm not hungry. Just thirsty" She took a sip from her flask.

Quinn just nodded, carefully eating hers.

"Besides, the cafeteria food sucks. The Grill serves much better food" Rebekah added.

"The Grill?"

"The Mystic Grill. It's a diner. Everyone goes there all the time. You can have fast food, fine dining and even alcohol there. Basically they have everything there." Rebekah explained.

"Sounds great"

"I could bring you there for a proper lunch after school. My treat." Rebekah said.

Quinn was flattered with the invitation but had to decline.

"I would love to, but I heard there's cheerleading try outs after school, so yeah, raincheck?" Quinn said guiltily

Rebekah gave her a look. "Cheerleading, eh?"

"I used to be the captain of the squad at my old school" she whispered.

"Oh then you should try out, give these girls here a run for their money." Rebekah said happily.

"Really?"

"Yeah really. I once tried out. Not to brag, but I was pretty good. But I had beef with the cheerleading captain and her posy so I passed." Rebekah said, with a quite sad look on her face.

"Well then, you should try out again! Maybe this time both of us might make the cut!" Quinn said, touching Rebekah's hand.

Rebekah laughed. "Nah, I'm over that. You should try out. I would be there to cheer you on if I have too!"

Quinn's face lightens up immediately. "Really?"

"Really. Besides, I have nothing better to do than to go home. And I don't want to go home." Rebekah said. Quinn didn't ask any more questions.

"So Quinn, how's your family?" Rebekah asked.

"Oh it's just me, my mum and dad. My sister is married so she lives in Maine with her husband. Only see her during Christmas." Quinn said. She did miss her sister and wished she would visit more often. "What about your family, Rebekah?" Quinn asked.

Rebekah's expression changed slightly. "Well, I might as well tell you myself before other people will. My family is dysfunctional beyond words. Parents are dead. I'm the youngest of five. My brothers and I are constantly arguing. Some of them come and go, while I'm stuck here… for now " She explained.

Quinn was slightly ashamed of herself for asking the question. "I'm so sorry… I shouldn't have asked" she said.

Rebekah laughed. "Oh I was the one who asked you first. It's only fair that I tell you about my family. Well enough of them. Any boyfriends, Quinn?"

Quinn blushed at her question. "Nope. Only ex-boyfriends. I'm done with men."

Rebekah laughed again. "Aw, don't say that. I'm sure you'll find someone. There's always a soulmate for everyone, Quinn. Chin up and have faith" she said, holding Quinn's hand.

"Wow you're really optimistic" Quinn said. Rebekah jush shrugged and gave her a smile.

Quinn walked with Rebekah to the gym. Earlier before that, she went home and changed into her work out clothes. Rebekah offered to pick her up.

"Why do you look like you've seen a bloody ghost?" Rebekah asked, with a concerned look.

"I'm nervous that's all." Quinn answered. Her palms were sweaty and her heart was beating fast.

"Well don't be! You were the captain of the cheerleading squad at your old school. You even won Nationals. I bet you're going to blow their socks off!" Rebekah said encouragingly

They arrived at the gym, only to find it packed with girls. Quinn went to write her name down, only to find that the same crowd of girls that gave dirty looks at Rebekah were in charge. No wonder Rebekah didn't get in. she thought to herself.

After jotting her name down, she immediately went to the bleachers and warmed up. Rebekah warmed up with her too, stretching her long legs and doing a few backflips.

"You're good" Quinn said.

"I know"

After 15 minutes, Quinn's name was called. She nervously jogged to the middle of the gym, facing the cheerleading squad.

"Break a leg, Quinn!" Rebekah shouted, which made the cheerleading squad gave Quinn a weird look.

"Hi Quinn, I'm Caroline. So any experiences with cheerleading or gymnastics?" a perky blonde asked. Quinn assumed she was the captain, they had the same attitude.

"Yes" Quinn replied simply.

"She was the captain of her Nationals winning cheerleading squad, mind you!" Rebekah shouted from the bleachers.

"We didn't ask you, Rebekah. Is it true, Quinn?" Caroline asked again, slightly annoyed at Rebekah

"Yes"

Caroline looked a tad impressed. She leaned back on the chair and gave Quinn an intimidating look. "Show us what you've got, then!" she said.

Quinn took a deep breath and started to perform a few routines. She did a few back flips, cartwheels and many other steps that's required in cheerleading. Combining the routines taught by Coach Sue Sylvester and the dancing in Glee club, she nailed it.

When she was finished, all the girls at the table looked at her in amazement. One particular girl stood up, clapping. "That was spectacular, Quinn!" she said kindly. She was pretty, with long raven locks and dark skin.

Caroline stood up "That was impressive, Quinn. We'll be in touch. Next!" she said, snapping her fingers.

Quinn muttered thanks and went back to the bleachers, where Rebekah was on the phone.

"No I'm not coming home. I'm busy." she said angrily and snapped her phone shut.

Quinn pretended not to hear when Rebekah ran back to her. "Sorry, Quinn. Somebody called just now. You were FANTASTIC by the way. They are all idiots if they don't take you" Rebekah said, giving Quinn a hug. Quinn couldn't resist but hugging her new friend back.

"Thanks, Rebekah. For being here with me" she said

"Anytime, doll. Now wanna go and get a bite at the Grill?" Rebekah asked.

"I would love too, but I promised my mum that I'll be back early. Rain check?" Quinn asked guiltily

"You owe me, Fabray!" Rebekah said, eyes leered at the petite blonde.

"Yes, yes, I owe you one. Thank you Rebekah!" Quinn replied gratefully.

"Anytime"

Back at home, Quinn told her mother all about her first day, when suddenly she got a phone call from an unknown number. She answered it with caution

"Hello?"

"Hey, is it this Quinn?" the voice was familiar

"Yeah, this is she"

"It's me, Caroline. The captain of the cheerleadering squad!"

"Oh hi Caroline! What's up?"

"I'm just calling to inform you that you're officially on the squad! You were fantastic, and we totally need someone like you on the squad."

Quinn couldn't believe her ears. "Oh my god really?! Yes, thank you Caroline!"

"Sure, and congratulations, too. We'll keep in touch. And Quinn, one more thing"

"Yeah?"

"Just make sure you're careful with Rebekah. I mean,, she's not who you think she is"

"Excuse me?"

"Just, be careful okay? Talk to you later. Bye, Quinn!" Caroline said and hung up.

Quinn was slightly confused with Caroline's advice. She decided to ignore it, because for her Rebekah is a great person.

She ran back to the kitchen squealing!

"Wow, what has gotten into you?" her father asked, confused.

"I'm just happy!" she squealed again.

So far, everything was going smooth, and she really hoped it will remain that way. She hoped that she'll gain more friends, be a better cheerleader, involve in a few extracurricular activities and maybe…Stefan Salvatore. To be honest, she couldn't stop thinking about Stefan. There were definitely sparks between them. Although the man with green eyes still haunts her mind.

(this was actually two chapters, but I decided to combine it into 1! I decided to make Quinn a cheerleader again as we all know how fantastic of a Cheerio she was back at Lima! hope you guys like it! and again please review :))
