This chapter contains swearing so just a warning, if you are going to be offended, don't read it.
I do not own the characters, just the ideas surrounding them.
Chapter 2: Rachel's POV
Quinn seems to be snapping at Santana quite a bit lately, but it's never become that out of hand.
As soon as Finn joined in with the primitive chanting rather than saving his fellow glee clubbers from each other, I swiftly dismissed him to class and warned him that if he didn't leave immediately I would revoke my offer of him visiting me that evening after glee club while my dads are away for the night on a wine tasting course they enrolled in to further expand their general knowledge. But I digress, following the dismissal of Finn and the appearance of Brittany I felt the need to offer my assistance and latch onto the head cheerleaders flailing arms until she had calmed down.
Not long after I felt her relax and she began to turn around so I slackened my grip and let go of her left arm so she could face me fully.
I look up at her pursed lipped, because I know myself and if I didn't control myself I would have forgone on a well scripted rant about the implications of fighting within a crowded school corridor. I was pleading her with my eyes to say something... Anything at that point would have been welcomed but she remained stone faced for a few moments as I continued to watch her battle with herself over... Well I'm not quite sure but I had obviously confused the blond as the next thing I know she is stumbling over her words, apologising and thanking me all in the same sentence before tearing her arm away, which at this point I had forgotten I was even holding, and sprinted down the corridor and out of view.
I stand motionless for a while trying to get my head around the fact at that not only had Quinn Fabray just apologised to me, Rachel Berry, but that she also seemed to be completely genuine about the whole thing. The worst part was the fact I couldn't help but... Appreciate... How the short skirt of the Cheerios uniform swayed and lifted slightly as Quinn made her quick retreat.
When I finally break out of my trance I head back to class. Luckily I was only a few minutes late and had still managed to arrive before the teacher.
I take my usual seat next to Finn and register three empty chairs where the three top cheerleaders would normally occupy.
"Is everything okay?" My boyfriend's low voice breaks me out of my haze.
"I'm fine" I lied, something about the way Quinn looked at me has been bothering me and I'm still trying to figure out why. "Have either Santana or Brittany returned to class yet?"
"Brittany came in and told me that she and Santana are gonna' be a bit late cus' they had something to clear up. I still don't understand though, why did Santana and Quinn have that smack down?" He asks me while trying to look concerned but to be perfectly honest, his acting skills are not up to the standard of someone who has been going to classes their whole life. Someone like me, for example.
"I'm not really sure, I've noticed that Santana hasn't really been herself lately, or more specifically she has been too much of herself, her daily name calling towards me seems to have increased ten-fold since Brittany started dating Artie." It the only conclusion I could come to, it seemed to make sense though.
"Why would that bother Santana though? Did she like Artie or something?" Finn really can be slow sometimes, not the best quality in a person but the mild frustration is worth it right, I mean he is Finn Hudson, captain of the football team, after all.
"Everybody knows that Brittany and Santana were more than just friends but Santana's inability to be open about her feelings pushed Brittany away causing the rift between the cheerleaders we saw previously."
With that he just nods, probably not even understanding half of the explanation but too embarrassed to tell me otherwise.
As the teacher walks in I roll my eyes and face the front but not really listening because I can't help but let my thoughts wander back to Quinn and I find myself asking so many questions I don't know the answer to from, 'Where is she?' or 'Is she okay?' to more difficult ones like 'Why did she act the way she did with me after the fight?' and 'Why did.. No, Why DO I get butterflies when I look at her?'.
