Heyy thanks for reading and everything.
I'm glad you're enjoying this, let me know if you still do now :P


The following week went a little bit better for Rachel who finally would find herself smiling whenever she walked by Quinn, who wasn't yet her friend, but still was saying hello in the hallways and asking the diva how she felt. And even though the brunette was still a little bit septic about if Quinn cared about her or not, it would still make her happy to hear someone paying attention to her. Even though she still spent a lot of time alone and crying in her bed, this little detail made the tears easier to hold in.

It was a Friday morning, Rachel got to school with two bags, as usual, one for her school supplies and another one for her slushie kit. Having the head cheerleader say hi to her every day wasn't really stopping her from fearing a blueberry or cherry attack and so she was just preventive. The brunette walked towards her locker, looking carefully around to anticipate any bad action that might happen and when she opened her locker she heard someone calling her name. And as surprising as it might seem, the person had to call her 4 times to actually get Rachel to look at them, she wasn't used to people calling her...

"-Hey Berry, becoming deaf?" Quinn was standing next to her locker.

"-Oh no, I just guess it is not part of my habits to have someone calling my name. I don't seem to even recognize it anymore.

-Is it that bad?

-Yes."

Rachel didn't trust Quinn, no matter what she had done the past week, she believed that it was not going to make her change suddenly, from a H.B.I.C. to the person who is humble enough to become Rachel Berry's friend. It was just weird and happening too fast. Also, the brunette couldn't help but remember how bad the cheerleader used to treat her before the beginning of the new year. But still she didn't mind talking about her problems, a little bit, because after all, she really need it and her condition didn't really leave her a choice, if she could have people being there for her, she was going to take them.
"-Well you're gonna have to get used to it now."
Quinn Fabray was smiling at Rachel Berry, believe it or not, and as she saw that the diva was struggling by trying to carry too many books at the same time to clean her locker, she even offered her help. Rachel even dropped a book on the floor because she was just simply surprised. And as soon as the book fell on the ground, both the girls tried to grab it. Rachel let Quinn do it and thanked her before the blonde girl asked:

"-I wanted to know if I could have your number, in case you need to talk or, if you wanna hang out sometimes this week-end?"

Quinn seemed kind of embarrassed to be asking that question but the small Rachel Berry saw the biggest smile ever appear on her face and she answered:

"-Of course! You can save your number in my phone so I will be able to call you and give you mine later today.

-Awesome" answered Quinn while typing on the phone that the brunette had just given her.

"-Text me later Berry, and see you in Glee Club!"

As the Cheerio was walking away, Rachel looked at her phone with the biggest smile on her face. Quinn Fabray had given her her number and asked her to hang out. She had no idea what was happening but she was surely not going to complain at this point. She closed her locker, and as soon as she turned around she saw something blue racing through her face. Slushie facial. And under the corn syrup, the diva was still smiling.


After she cleaned herself and changed, Rachel spent the day pretty distracted from anything that was going on. She would randomly take her phone out of her pocket and smile when she would see Quinn's name in it, she didn't feel lonely anymore and she loved it.

At 3.30pm, it was Glee time, and the diva was really excited to see Quinn there. She was walking with a big smile on her face and entered the room first. She sat at the back, and pulled out her phone from her pocket just to go through her contacts again and see Quinn's name there, along with the 10 digits that composed her number. As she was lost in her thoughts, she heard someone come in.
"-Berry! I was hoping to see you there if I came early."

Quinn was now standing in front of the diva, smiling. She sat next to her and said:

"-So how do you feel today? Better?

-Much better thank you."
Rachel couldn't help but smile back at the Cheerio who suddenly gave her a hug. The diva wasn't used to receiving hugs and didn't really know what to do, but she slowly hugged back, letting the cheerleader's smell invade her head. Vanilla, with a bit of berries, such a nice perfume. The hug was silent, and lasted for about 15 seconds, and Rachel had to admit to herself that it was the best 15 seconds she had lived since the beginning of this new year. Quinn slowly let go of the diva who just stared at her.
"-Listen Berry, I don't think it would be good for both of us if people at school knew that I'm being nice to you, so let's just keep it for us okay? But I promise I'll be there for you no matter what."

Rachel smiled, but kinda confused, asked:

"-Why would you be nice to me? I thought you hated me? You've always tried your hardest to make my life a living hell and to crush any dreams that I might have had.

-I... Let's say that I admire you.

-You admire me? Wha..."

Rachel was cut in the middle of her sentence by a noise coming from the door. Mercedes and Artie were entering the room, and the wheelchair guy seemed really upset. Quinn moved a few seats away from Rachel without anybody noticing and, without a word, she pulled out her phone and showed it to the diva, saying "Text me" without any sound coming out of her mouth. Rachel nodded and started to write to the cheerleader.

Rachel: Why would you admire me?
Quinn: I shouldn't be telling you by text. Let's just make plans for the weekend okay?
Rachel: Alright if that's what you want Quinn. I still find it odd that you suddenly decided to be nice to me.
Quinn: Get over it. How about tonight? My dad's back home so my place will be awkward, where do you wanna hang out?
Rachel: My dads are out on their weekly date on Fridays, I guess my house would be a good option, around 8pm if you don't mind?
Quinn: Sounds good ill be there.

All the Glee Club members had ended up entering the room. Sam sat next to Quinn, grabbing her hand as soon as he could, even though the Cheerio wasn't paying attention to him at all. Rachel followed her look, and saw Brittany sitting next to Santana, and Artie tearing up. Another break-up? It seemed like it. The diva was trying to wonder what happened when Mr..Shuester came in the room.

"-Hi kids! I'm sorry I'm a bit late...
-... I would like to sing something."
Artie said.
The teacher nodded and Artie positioned himself in the middle of the room, asking the pianist to hit the first notes. Rachel didn't recognize the song, but she understood fast enough that it was about a break-up and she was right.
"-I feel my heart breaking in two, I'm such a fool. When will I learn? I fell so deep, then I got burned."

Rachel was trying to feel sorry for Artie, even though she really didn't like the song, when she felt something vibrating in her pocket. She got a text message from Quinn again.

Quinn: Such a bad song eh? Look at Santana, I bet you this is gonna be interesting to watch.

Santana was staring at Artie, but since she was in front of Rachel, the diva couldn't see the expression on her face. So she looked at Artie until the last note of the song. When he was done singing, the room stayed quiet, before Santana said:

"-Pathetic. When are you gonna stop trying to make people feel bad for you?
-I... I just thought I would express my feelings.
-So you had to pick the worse song ever to do so? Do you think you're gonna get her back with that? Too bad she's gone. She deserved better than you fucking loser.
-Wow Wow WOW Santana stop!"

Mr. Shuester came in the way of the argument. Rachel and Quinn made eye contact, the Cheerio was laughing, and the diva felt her heart getting warmer. It was the first time someone was making fun of someone else with her, it was the first time she had felt that close to another girl and she felt so good.


The song is "Broken By You" by Jordan Knight.
I'm sorry if you guys like it, but I just thought the lyrics were really bad.
I'm a musician myself and when I write love songs I hope they're better than that LOL.
Anyways thanks for reading :) Please review or something.
