Chapter 8
Author's Note: I am SO sorry for not updating for weeks. It's just that I got sick, and then my birthday passed while I'm sick, and then when I watched the season 2 finale of glee, I never thought that I could get more ill after seeing Sam and Mercedes together. Not that I hate Mercedes, I love her, but Sam and Quinn belong together, right? :(
Anyway, I know that there's still hope. Never give up on Fabrevans, ok? :)
Back to the story, there will be Quinn/Finn friendship in this chapter. I don't know if I did well with this, but I hope this turns out fine to you.
Hope you'll enjoy! :D
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee nor any of the characters mentioned.
Quinn's POV
Tuesday morning.
I really don't know how I could act on the promise I made him, especially now that he looked like he doesn't want to talk to me for some time after what happened last night.
But I should always be there for him, if not to be his girlfriend, at least be his friend. Ok, Quinn?
Wow, giving myself pep talks does work.
I walked down the hallway surrounded by plenty of people, but a certain bleached blonde boy was the only person who caught my eye, who always catches my eye. Sam was standing there, getting some books out of his locker. As he closed it, he caught me staring at him.
I sighed nervously to myself and smiled before moving towards him, "Hi."
"Quinn.", he smiled back, just a little.
I didn't know what to say, "So, are sure you're ok now? Maybe you should rest a little longer, the school would understa…"
He cut me off, "No, it's ok. I think I'm a lot better now."
"Oh, that's really good to hear.", I stared into his green eyes, one of which had a black eye. He was staring back, intently.
"About last night, I…", he started, but Mr. Schue interrupted.
"Sam, Principal Figgins wants to see you in his office.", he told Sam.
"Umm.", he looked at me.
"I'll just see you later.", I told him, and he nodded before he walked away with Mr. Schuester.
I saw that they were later joined by Finn as they walked. Clearly, this must have something to do with what happened yesterday.
I headed to my next class, which is English. I don't have that class with Sam, but I do with Finn, also seated right next to him.
I sat at my usual place and absentmindedly took notes.
Finn arrived 20 minutes late.
"Sorry I'm late, Mr. Smith. I was at the principal's office, because Mr. Figgins…", Finn started.
"Ok, ok. I get it. You did something wrong and Mr. Figgins got you punished.", he pointed at the seat next to me, "Now, sit down, Mr. Hudson."
As Finn sat down, I asked him, "Hey, what did Mr. Figgins say?"
"He gave me a month of detention.", he sighed.
I just stared, waiting for him to go on. It took him a while to notice, "Oh, I guess you don't really care about me. You're asking about Sam, right?"
"It's not like that, but I…"
"I'm kidding.", he laughed, "Well, Sam asked if he could do something else other than a month of detention, so Mr. Figgins told him to do community service for two weeks at the park, you know, beside your church, and tell the people around him that he's from McKinley High School, so that the parents around would see how helpful the students are from McKinley and enroll their children here. He won't be alone, though. Some other "Earth friendly" students planned it just yesterday. Then, Sam said that it sounds worse and that he'd just have to do detention, but Mr. Figgins told him that he would do community service, because he complained.", he then had a confused look at his face, more confused than usual, "I think that's what happened. Anyway, the point is he's doing community service for two weeks, starting today after school. Like me, starting detention today."
By his last sentence, we didn't notice that Mr. Smith was standing right in front of us, "You say a lot, Mr. Hudson. Do you want to go back to the principal's office?"
"No, sir.", Finn looked at his table.
"Then, listen to my class!", then he pointed to me, "As for you, too, Ms. Fabray."
"Yes, sir.", I opened my book and Mr. Smith went on with the discussion.
So, Sam's going to do community service, huh? Such a perfect place, not to mention, he'll be doing community service at the park beside the church with our wishing well. Hmm, would he mind if I tag along?
"Why are you smiling?", Finn whispered.
"Shush. Just listen to Mr. Smith."
"But it's just that, when you smile by yourself, you look like a fool and…"
I glared at him.
"Sorry.", he immediately looked back at Mr. Smith.
I went to the principal's office during free period today.
"Good Afternoon, Mr. Figgins.", I greeted him.
"Ah, Ms. Fabray, what can I do for you?"
I beamed a smile, "I'd like to volunteer for the community service at the park?"
"Oh, yes. Yes, of course.", he laughed with joy and stood up, "I am so proud. We have been able to produce another student who cares for the environment.", he shook my hand.
"You have no idea how much I would do for the things I care about.", I shook his hand back, "I'd even clean up a really messy park with a new manicure.", I mumbled.
"What is it that you said?"
"Nothing. I just said that I'm really excited that I'd like to start today."
"Good, because it does start today. You will be joined by Mr. Abrams, Ms. Pierce, Ms. Lopez, Mr. Chang, Ms. Cohen-Chang, Mr. Azimio, and Mr. Evans."
I smiled at the sound of his last name. It turns out that most of them are from Glee club, but two names caught my attention, "Wait, did you just say Lopez, as in Santana, and Azimio?"
"Yes. It turns out that we have converted Ms. Lopez into an Earth-friendly person.", he smiled with pride and, then, frowned, "Mr. Azimio will be coming because it's a punishment, as well as Mr. Evans."
"Yeah. I better get going. Thank you so much for letting me come."
"No, thank you! Please, go, spread the love for nature!", he said as I started going out of his office, "Spread the love for the world!"
As I shut the door behind me, I saw Sam pass by the other side of the hall, wheeling Artie.
This is going to be a great afternoon.
A/N: Ok, so I'll end here for now. Next chapter would compose of the community service at the park. :)
