I don't own Glee, I just love it a lot!
Quinn doesn't like to admit she's lonely. She thought being the head Cheerio would make her life go back to normal. But it doesn't. Santana and Britney don't talk to her unless they have too. She talks to Mercedes sometimes, but Mercedes has seen her at her worst and she's trying to forget all of that. She's knows she should quit Glee, its hard to see Finn so happy, hard to provide the background music to his love story, but its the only place where both of her worlds mesh and she feels OK with herself.
She likes Sam. He's cute. He tries hard. He's like Finn 2.0. She doesn't have to work hard to stay strong in front of him, he's not really all that deep and he lets her take the lead. He doesn't push her for more than movie dates and kisses. He doesn't know much at all about what happened last year and its nice to have a clean slate. And he's not a juvenile delinquent, like Puck.
She dates Sam all through Junior year, but they decide to break up at the end of the school year. They say they'll just be friends and she's pretty OK with that. She thinks she has the worst luck ever when she comes home from a jog the first week of summer vacation to find a familiar truck parked out front. She can't believe her mom really hired Puck to clean their pool.
She tries to avoid him, but it's pretty obvious he's been waiting for her. She tries not to think about the last time he was at her house, and hardens her heart. She can't blame the whole thing on wine coolers. She always loses her head a little around him. He tells her he's heard she's single again and wonders if they could hang out. She starts to shake her head no, but he tells her he's grown up a lot this year and he wants to prove it. Just a movie date, no strings.
"Ok, but last year is off limits." She says. And he nods his head in agreement. They start off slow, but she's never been able to say no to him and by the end of the summer she's not very surprised to find herself on a sleeping bag in the bed of his truck, parked in a corn field in the middle of no where. He is pushing for more than just heavy making out, but she's still holding strong. And he understands, mostly because of the whole baby thing. She wants to be clear on their relationship, and in the dark, he can feel her arms tight around him and he smells the coconut of her hair, and its easy to say yes and tell her they're exclusive.
They date all of senior year. She is an expert at deflecting him when sex comes up. She's not stupid, she knows he's probably getting it elsewhere. But she's under no illusion that this is going to end in marriage and since he's not rubbing it in her face (like the last time), she cant bring herself to care much.
Sometimes, she thinks its so unfair. Her high school experience isn't anything like she thought it would be as a wide eyed freshman. Everything she's been holding in is bubbling under the surface the last week. Kurt is prom queen. She likes Kurt, but it hurts, that was her title. Finn and Rachel are voted Most Likely to Get Married. Brittany and Santana get the Best Friends award. She knows it's silly, but she feels like she has nothing to show for all her time here. Instead of meeting their friends for lunch on senior skip day, she invites Puck over to her house.
She hasn't gained anything by being a good girl. She going to do what she wants now. Puck doesn't even know what hit him. She's got him shirtless in her bed, almost before he can blink. He just holds onto her hips and tries to remember what he did to get her so revved up, so he can do it again tomorrow.
