Author's note: I do not own Glee so don't sue me. Please Review, and thank you to everyone who already has :D.
This chapter is chapter 7(and more) from Rachel's Point of view.
Rachel had just finished singing Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, when she heard someone clear their throat. It was probably Mr. Schuester, however when Rachel turned around she saw it was Quinn. "Oh it's you Quinn." Rachel was trying to remain as calm as possible, she didn't want to scare Quinn and end up having another slushie thrown at her, "I thought you were Mr. Schuester. Um… do you need me to leave cause I can tot-" but before she could finish Quinn had cut her off.
"You can stay Rachel. I just wanted to talk to." Rachel took notice that Quinn seemed happier than usual. Quinn also seemed to be nervous about something, but she wasn't sure about what though.
"Of course we can talk Quinn; just as long as you don't have a slushie with you, which clearly don't." Rachel gave Quinn a small smile.
"Yeah that's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about." Rachel just blinked at Quinn. Was Quinn about to apologize to her? Rachel hoped so. The next Rachel knew was Quinn had grabbed her hand and was leading her to the piano bench. Rachel looked at their hands, hoping that one day their fingers could be entwined. But, as she was looking at them she noticed that Quinn's ring finger was longer than her index, the possibility that Quinn was gay made Rachel's heart flutter a bit. When they got to the piano bench Quinn seemed reluctant to let go of her hand, and to be honest Rachel was reluctant to let go of the blonde's slender, delicate, and silky smooth hand.
"I want to apologize for how I have treated since day one of high school." Rachel saw Quinn was starting to tear up, "I've called you horrible names, slushied you, and just tormented you. It was awful of me to do that to and I'm sorry." When Quinn had started to cry all she wanted to do was to hug Quinn and tell her everything would be alright, but she thought that would be to much. So Rachel slowly rubbed Quinn's back to comfort her. Once Quinn had stop crying she said, "Quinn it's okay. I forgive you. You are a different person now. I can see that you have truly changed as a person." Rachel flashed Quinn a warm smile, hoping that it would have some effect on her.
"Do you really forgive me?" As if it was totally out of the realm of possibility.
"Really." Rachel nodded as she said this.
"Friends then?" Quinn stuck out her hand as a proposal of friendship. However, Rachel gave her hug, "Of course we are friends!"
"Well as my new friend, can you do me a favor?" Rachel noticed Quinn raised her eyebrows in an inquisitive manner when she said friend, she wasn't sure what that meant but she knew something was up.
"As long as it doesn't involve robbing a bank sure. What do you need?"
"I need your help finding a song for Glee. I'm going to sing it next week as an introduction to the new me, but I can't find a song. Do you mind?"
"Of course not Quinn. And this is my area of expertise so you came to the right person. How about we meet at my house after school on Wednesday."
"Fine with me." A few minutes later the bell rang and the two girls parted ways for class.
Ever since Quinn and her officially became friends Rachel noticed some odd things. For example, she wasn't slushied; she didn't have to use a change of clothes at all, this was unheard of at McKinley especially if you were at the bottom of the chain.
Rachel also noticed people following her. While at school she would be followed by Santana and Brittany, who were wearing eighties spy outfits, and then when she would go out Kurt would be following her. The three of them did this constantly for two whole days. She noticed as they would follow her they would take notes and whisper to her, as if she didn't notice, but she did not engage them because her sixth sense told her this was somehow related to Quinn. On lunch on Wednesday it dawned on her why they were stalking her; they were observing her to find out whether or not she was into Quinn. Why else would you have a two lesbians and a gay guy follow you around all day.
The final bell rang and the halls were instantly filled. Rachel fought the masses to get to her locker. When she got there she felt like doing an embarrassing victory, but there were to many people so she decided not to. She grab he jacket and keys and headed for the parking lot. When Rachel got to the parking lot she saw Quinn leaning against her bug waiting for her. They talked for a few minutes and then headed to Rachel's house.
Once they got Rachel's house, as soon as both of them got out of their cars Quinn said, "Nice house Rachel."
"Why thank you Quinn, shall we go inside." Rachel made a gesture towards the door, she had done this as an attempt to make Quinn laugh, but instead Quinn just smiled. Once they got inside Rachel told Quinn, "My dads are working at the hospital, and won't be home till late tonight, so we shouldn't be disturbed." Rachel saw Quinn smirked at her comment, she probably should have left out "disturbed".
They stand in awkward silence for a few moments before Quinn asked, "So Rachel any ideas for which song I should sing for glee club?"
"Actually Quinn I have no idea what song you should sing. I mean I know you're this new person, but I'm not sure what kind person you are now." Rachel meant every word she said. Rachel could see this new Quinn, who was totally different than the old Quinn but she wasn't sure how. Quinn stared at Rachel for a few seconds, it appeared to be as if she was contemplating something,
"Here's the Rach I don't know what kind of person I am, and to be honest I don't really care. I'm going to tell you this because I value our friendship too much not to. The thing is I'm gay." Quinn said this with such confidence and honesty that Rachel was in awe of Quinn. Quinn had been so honest with her, and her clear attempts to ask her out, were noble. Rachel felt like that she had to be just as honest with Quinn. The next thing Rachel did was kiss her; soon the kiss became more passionate and Rachel found herself making out with Quinn in her very own atrium.
