After Quinn's confession they'd sat in a rather uncomfortable silence, trying to work out how the other one really felt about them. Rachel looked at her watch and sighed.
"Got somewhere to be Rach?" Quinn asked eyeing Rachel suspiciously.
The brunets eyes went wide as if she'd been caught out. "Urm me? Pffft no not at all. Why would I have somewhere to be, Why would you ask that?" she almost screeched.
Quinn sat there for a moment "You sound nervous Rach, is everything okay?"
Rachel just gave a tight lipped smile, blinked a few times, inhaled a deep breath and looked Quinn in the eyes before clearing her throat to speak "Doesn't Kim walk past here on her way home from late rehearsals with sue?"
Quinn's face scrunched up in confusion "Kim, So what if she does?"
"Quinn Fabray if this isn't one big prank, like I assumed it was before your confession about feeling alone and you really do want to be friends then we can't be seen by your friends… can we." She said in her persistently quick voice.
Quinn raised her right eyebrow before her mouth slowly dropped…. "Urm…. Why not?"
"We just can't okay" she rushed out leaving no room for questions, Quinn started up her car before there was a knock on her drivers window. She slowly undid her window till it was half way and the breeze swept through the car but before she got a chance to speak.. "Hey you scavenger of human misery, How's life?" Shit Quinn thought quickly before putting a pained an awkward smile on before looking her fellow cheerio in the eyes and getting her bitch on "Hey Shontelle Shouldn't you be out drunkenly denting your Daddies Benz with random pedestrians faces? *they both laughed* Not bad how about you?" Shontelle was eyeing her nails before looking back up at Quinn's face "Can't complain Q, so what are you doing in this part of town?" the blonde struggled for a comeback "Just fancied some space, why are you so interested" Quinn laughed lightly. Shontelle raised her eyebrow at Quinn "can't I take interest in my Cheerio captain's random behavior " she asked smirking as if she might be able to goad the truth out of her captain. Quinn let out an exaggerated sigh "Shontelle Is this all some elaborate way of asking for directions to the nearest Abercrombie & Fitch, so you can go and blow a load of your parent's money?" there was a moment of silence "Wow someone really is feeling bitchy today, is this because of what me and Kim argued with you about earlier?" "Ok Shontelle let's cut the crap, I've got things to be getting on with and you've got parents to be sponging off. I know you want me off the team so you'll get your shot at being captain; I also know your two faced, manipulative and a massive slut so there in your head you may think you have a chance. In actual fact you have none, fuck with me or get in my way I'll destroy you and every one who stands with you. "Quinn gave Shontelle a moment to let it sink in before turning her sweet girl act on and adding "k, great chat. See you at school!" giving a wink and throwing her car into reverse and roaring out onto the main road and driving off.
Quinn drove on for a few minutes picking up speed as she went, she looked round to check on Rachel before noticing she'd disappeared from the passenger seat. She assumed Rachel had got out without her and Shontelle noticing, Q muttered under her breath "what the fuck, Rachel?" while debating whether to turn around and look for the short Jewish girl then out of no where Rachel jumped up from behind the driver seat "what?" she innocently asked, Quinn screamed before slamming the breaks down and nearly swerving into an oncoming car and throwing Rach to the other side of the car "RACHEL" she screamed while trying to get her breath back, chest rising and dropping faster than she ever thought possible. Quinn put her car in first gear and pulled off finding somewhere safe to pull over, she decided on a lay-by a few inches from them before indicating, turning off and putting the car into park. Rachel resurfaced rubbing her forehead "ouch Quinn" the blonde turned shaking slightly from the adrenaline rush the near crash had given her. "ouch? Didn't anyone ever tell you not to try and scare drivers.. EVER!" the girl asked turning so she could face Rachel but to her surprise the brunette girl wasn't there turning back to face the front she caught a glimpse of Rachel sat next to her and she jumped again "shit" she cussed "Rachel stop doing that… how did you even do that?" she asked confused rubbing her head where her headache was starting to develop. Rachel just let out a creepy smile, shrugged and answered "If I told you Q I'd have to kill you" she winked before her features changed to curiosity "what exactly did you, Kim and Shontelle argue about?" Quinn took a deep breath "erm ok don't tell me then" and Quinn thought before smiling more to herself than Rachel " if I told you what we argued about I'd have to kill you" Rachel's creepy smile reappeared and it sent shivers down Quinn's spine "what's going on with you, your acting strange.. well stranger than normal" Rachel's creepy smile grew "maybe your only just seeing the real me?" she asked raising her eyebrow, Quinn was sure she was getting at something more than Quinn and Rachel's history of Q ignoring Rachel's existence other than when she was being a bitch to her. "And what does the real Rachel entail?" Quinn's emotions were conflicted, on the one hand she was curious about how different Rachel was but on the other hand she was creeping Quinn out a little bit. "Guess you'll have to wait and see Q" Rachel's voice was darker than before or so Quinn thought, she carefully looked at Rach before noticing she was starting to look ill "Are you okay Rach, you look like your sweating a little bit" Rachel grabbed her compact mirror out of her bag and looked in it she froze for a moment and closed her eyes, Quinn watched out of worry and amusement Rachel seemed so different to how she acted in school or at the Glee competitions. "I'm fine Quinn just one of those things, anyway as fun as this has been I have to go." She started to grab her bag and get out the car without so much as a glimpse at Quinn she ran towards the forest next to the lay-by, jumped the fence and kept on running. Quinn didn't even have time to react, her mouth just hung open. They were ages away from her house and Rachel had just gone off in the wrong direction from the Berry home. Quinn blew out a breath and resided on changing into her uniform and going to find Rachel, the shorter girl looked pale and sweaty and although she'd never admit it to anyone, she was worried for Rachel's welfare.
