Hello, sorry for the wait but i hope that you all enjoy this chapter :)

As promised Seth was the one to return Quinn's shirt. Nervously the young man walked across the hallway and stood in front of her door. Holding the shirt in one hand he used the other to knock twice. He heard a muffled voice on the other side telling him that the door was open. Seth turned the door knob and walked inside. There were still boxes everywhere. Quinn was sitting on the floor in the middle of the mess. She was emptying boxes and Seth thought that she was trying to organize things although it was hard to tell.

"Hey Seth" Quinn greeted with a smile on her face.

"Hi" Seth returned the smile, his eyes caught sight of the folded shirt in his hands, "Right, uh, I have your shirt. It's now clean and stainless." He walked over to where she was sitting and handed her the shirt.

"Thanks!" Quinn took the shirt from him and set it in a pile with more shirts.

"So.. do you need any help?"

"Sure"

"What can I do?"

Quinn bit her lip gently while looking at Seth and then the many boxes. Making a quick decision she spoke, "How about you empty out that box?" She pointed to the box which was closest to him.

"Alright, I can do that."

Seth sat down on the floor beside the box. He then began to carefully remove items from it. "How are you liking things so far?"

Quinn added another shirt to the pile, "I like it here. New York is amazing! Not to mention everyone in this building seems nice, especially my neighbour.. he's a real cutie too." She said while showing off that adorable smile of hers.

A quirky grin formed on Seth's lips."Well I'm glad that you're adjusting to things here but tell me more about this neighbour of yours?"

Quinn continued to smile as she spoke, "I can't tell you that much.. I only met him yesterday so I don't know that much about him.. although he does have beautiful brown eyes."

"Ah, I see.. Maybe you should try to spend more time with this guy?"

"That's a good idea. I'll have to talk to him about it."

"Going out for coffee is always nice. Maybe a little tour of the city too? I'm just throwing out ideas here. Anything to help the cause."

"You're just full of ideas. I like both of them. I hope that he does too."

Seth's eyes looked away from Quinn so that he could focus on the shirt he needed to fold, "I'm sure that he'll love them."

Quinn moved onto a different box, "Good. Do you suppose this neighbour of mine would be busy on Thursday?"

"I think he might be busy during the day but Thursday night is completely open."

"It's a date then."

Seth thought that his face might break from smiling so much. He was just waiting for a muscle to be pulled. When he was little his mother always told him about the myth where if the wind changed your face would stay the same forever. If that happened right now Seth would be totally fine with it. Seth had just barely met Quinn yesterday but there was something about her that made him feel like he had known her for a longer period of time. She had so many positive qualities; her smile is infectious, her laugh is adorable, her personality is just very charming in general. She was incredibly easy to talk to. She'd invite you in with that smile and soon enough you'd be chatting like old friends.

The fact that she had agreed to go on a date with him was astonishing. Before coming over to her apartment Seth had been scared that once he saw her again he'd start babbling like an idiot but thankfully he had been able to keep things together and act somewhat smoothly. It made Seth even happier that Quinn seemed excited about the idea of spending more time with him. Jesse had told him that he didn't stand a chance with Quinn Fabray, Seth couldn't wait to tell him that he was wrong.

Speak of the devil. Clearly Jesse must have the ability to perform Jedi mind tricks because as soon as Seth thought about his friend his cellphone began to ring. Seth pulled his phone out and checked the text message that he had received.

Seth, where are you? If you went to the comic book store again can you pick up some milk on your way home? We're out.

"Is everything alright?" Quinn asked, she stood up and picked up a pile of clothes she had sorted.

"Uh, yeah, just a text from Jesse.. Apparently we need milk." Seth replied, Quinn listened to his response as she walked over to her bedroom, the door was wide open so she could still hear Seth while she put clothes away.

"Right, the only downside about my new neighbour is that his roommate is a huge egotistical jerk."

Seth frowned at her annoyed tone, "Egotistical maybe but Jesse isn't a jerk. He's my best friend!"

"Best friend? Wow, I didn't know that Jesse could care about someone other than himself. He must've went through some personal growth since the last time I've seen him."

Seth was a fan of sarcasm but not in the way that Quinn was using it. Things had been going so well with Quinn but then just at the mention of Jesse she changed. Seth didn't like this Quinn. He especially didn't like her talking badly about his friend.

"I think that if anyone needs personal growth it's you.. What makes you think that you can talk negatively about a guy who you haven't seen in years? People can change Quinn."

"Jesse isn't like most people. I like to think that he's part of a different species.. a breed of his own."

Since Quinn was in her bedroom she wasn't able to see Seth's frustrated expression. The young man stopped taking out clothes and stood up. "Jesse was right about you.. This was just a waste of time.. Consider your neighbour busy Thursday night. He's now booked up solid and none of his plans involve you." With that said Seth left Quinn's apartment. He walked back across the hallway into his own.

"Hey Seth" Jesse said when his friend entered their apartment.

"You were right about Quinn." Seth sprawled out on the couch.

"Was there ever any doubt? I'm always right." Jesse stated in a matter of fact tone, "Although I'm confused, when did you see Quinn? Also, where's the milk?"

"I had to give her that shirt back.. and I didn't get milk."

"I don't understand how that would create a negative event, I thought you liked Quinn?" Jesse paused for a moment, "No milk.. that just won't do. I really should go pick some up, neither of us are morning people.. if we wake up and there's no milk to go with our cereal we'll be extra irritable. No one wants that." He went over to the coat rack and selected a jacket to wear.

"Jesse, who cares about milk? I just lost a date because of you!" Seth sighed.

"You'll care about it in the morning.." Jesse muttered while putting on his jacket, he didn't understand what his friend was talking about. How was he the cause of Seth losing a date? "Explain to me how I made you lose a date?"

"It's pretty simple, things were going great with Quinn. We planned to go out this Thursday but then you called and ruined everything!"

"I believe it was a text, not a call, you're still not making sense though."

Seth let out another sigh, "Okay maybe I was wrong, maybe Quinn was right! Or maybe you're still right.. Better yet maybe you're both wrong! I don't know. I'm just.. I'm gonna go to bed."

Jesse watched his friend rush off to his bedroom, what did he do wrong? What did Quinn say? So many questions but Jesse had no answers. He didn't understand it, if the girl would've been someone else and Jesse would've been around then he could understand how he might steal this girl away from Seth, even if by accident, causing him to lose another date but Jesse hadn't even been there! Not to mention the fact that Quinn would choose Seth over himself any day because they didn't get along.

It was against his better judgement but Jesse stopped by Quinn's apartment before heading on his milk run. He knocked on the door, impatiently waiting for an answer.

Quinn opened the door, saw that it was Jesse and immediately tried to slam it in his face. No such luck. Jesse quickly forced his arm up against the door keeping it open. "What are you doing here?" She questioned.

"What did you do to Seth?" Jesse posed his own question completely ignoring Quinn's.

"I didn't do anything! We were just talking."

"Talking about what?" Jesse pressed on, he wanted to know what made Seth so upset.

"Why do you care?"

"Well, let's see, Seth is my best friend and I'm not fond of seeing him upset! I also don't like it when I'm the cause. Which reminds me, how did I cause this if he was with you?"

"You sorta came up in conversation..I guess he didn't like the way I talked about you?" Quinn admitted keeping her gaze away from Jesse.

"I assume that you tried to brainwash him with lies." Jesse's smugness made Quinn roll her eyes.

"You being an egotistical jerk isn't a lie."

"When you've got a talent like mine you're allowed to be egotistical."

Quinn shook her head, "No one ever has the right to act that way. Not even you."

"I disagree but if that's all you did then I'll talk to Seth. Keep your Thursday open." Jesse moved away from the door, "Now that, that's settled I'll be excusing myself from this conversation. I've got some things to take care of."

"Going to get the milk?" Quinn asked with what Jesse thought was a small hint of a smile. Maybe.

"Why yes, yes I am. So goodnight." Jesse left and Quinn closed her door. She couldn't believe it. For the first time in her life she was actually glad that Jesse St. James came to talk to her. She felt bad that she had screwed up things with Seth so quickly. Even if dating didn't work out she still wanted to be his friend. Knowing that Jesse might possibly be able to fix things for her made her happy. Perhaps Seth was right, maybe people could change.
