Quinn sat next to Sam. He turned and laughed at whatever joke she made and her eyes were trained on him the whole time. Everyone noticed. Sam threw out her lunch trash for her and then they walked to Cheerios and football together, talking and laughing, for real but it was also for show.
"You are amazing, Sam. Thank you so much," Quinn murmured.
"Quinn, what's up with you and Sam?" Santana asked during cheerios, after watching Quinn and Sam chat it up during the water break.
"What? Oh nothing. But he is pretty gorgeous," Quinn smiled.
Quinn stood at her locker the next morning when Sam came up to her and gave her the slushie she had given him the money for. She smiled and took it graciously. At lunch, people gaped as they used their junior privilege to leave campus for lunch. And then the moment came when Quinn and Sam stood in the hallway.
"So we need to sell the kiss," Quinn said. Quinn waited for Sam to reply but he just pressed his lips to hers. The loud chattering in the hallway died down completely. Quinn reacted immediately and when they pulled apart, as planned, they walked to glee hand in hand.
"How was that for making it look real?" Sam whispered in Quinn's ear.
"Amazing," she smiled.
Puck abandoned Santana's side as he chased after Quinn. Everyone sat in glee club, happy and chatting. Rachel was drinking the glory of dating Finn Hudson, when Quinn came in, hands linked with Sam's. They sat in two chairs and pulled them close together.
"I just got an update for Jacob's blog!" Kurt announced and the room fell silent.
"What's it say?" Rachel demanded.
"WHMS's new power couple. Better, stronger and more popular than any couple in the last thirty years…Quinn Fabray and Sam Evans beat out her and Finn, her and Puck, Finn and Santana, Santana and Puck, Rachel and Jesse and even Rachel and Finn. This couple is ready to conquer," Kurt read aloud. Silence fell over the room as they turned to face Sam and Quinn.
"You two are dating?" Puck asked angrily. Mr. Schue walked in, interrupting Puck's question.
"Okay guys, I hope you have your opening songs for the year prepared. Who wants to go first?" He asked. Sam raised his hand.
"Sam? Awesome now we got some fresh talent going first!" Mr. Schue said. Sam smiled, let go of Quinn's hand and grabbed his guitar.
He sang "Lie After You" By Daughtry, dedicated it to Quinn. It was obvious that the relationship got under Puck's skin, and shockingly, Finn seemed angry about it too.
Sam and Quinn were at her house while her mom was out, they were pretending to be on a date. She was helping him with his homework. It was easier helping him than helping Finn, because Finn was just clueless about it while Sam tried to get it and was really smart…just dyslexic.
Quinn's phone buzzed with a text from Finn.
F: Where are you? There's a glee party tonight.
Q: I'm on a date with Sam, chill.
F:…you're on a date during the glee party?
Q: Hey, it's my love life.
F: It used to be our love life.
Q: Well now it's Sam's and mine.
Quinn smiled, she could practically hear Finn's jealousy through the phone.
"Is it working?" Sam asked, looking at her phone.
"Yes, because you are so good at this! Now, let's start your English homework," Quinn smiled at him.
Soon Quinn was asleep in Sam's arms. He wasn't sure how she got there but he was actually kind of happy, staring down at her sleeping figure. Oh crap. No I cannot fall for Quinn! This is a fake relationship! He reminded himself sternly. Quinn smiled in her sleep.
"Sam," she slurred in her sleep and he found himself grinning in spite of himself.
She was some kind of…wonderful.
