Don't worry the drama is coming I just think this chapter is needed first. Shoutout to Cassicio who guessed the correct answer (no i didn't tell her) and SuperNina. The chapter was inspired by Slap Bet from How I Met Your Mother and Love Me if You Dare (lots of slapping). I'd say Finn had that coming to him. Anyways the chapter is dedicated to you too.

DISCLAIMER: Not my characters

Enjoy!

Rumor Has It/ Someone Like you Chapter 13

RPOV

"Rumor has it your birthday is tomorrow." Santana said as we walked away from Quinn.

"Yea so?" I asked walking down the hall.

"How is it that none of us know this?" She asked

I stopped and turned to her. "You mean to tell me you weren't listening to me rambling on and on about my birthday last year? Shocker!" I rolled my eyes

She lowered her head sadly. "I'm sorry; truth is I am so used to spending my birthday alone that I don't do anything for it anymore. My plans are to sit at home with Hunger Games and maybe go for ice cream later alone."

Santana started shaking her head but I had to go take care of something.

"I'll see you later Santana I have to go." And I walked away from her feeling the tears flow down my eyes.

SPOV

This can't be happening. I thought walking up to Quinn pushing her against the locker roughly.

"What the fuck S." She said making the few students in the hall look around at us. I gave them all the 'keep walking' look and turned back to Quinn.

"Yeah whatever, listen up Fabray. I like that shorty you're jonesing for so I'm going to say this once. There is no way in Heaven, hell, or whatever Jews believe in that Rachel Barbra Berry is spending her birthday alone tomorrow."

Quinn pushed me off her and smirked. "Don't you think I have a plan?" She asked smugly.

Brittany rushed up to us concerned "Why are you two fighting?"

"No reason B, Santana wanted me to know tomorrow is Rachel's birthday but I already knew that and I already have a plan to celebrate her birthday."

Brit jumped up and down clapping her hands. "We want in Q."

I nodded as we walked on. "For sure, she's planning to stay home tomorrow and read. I can't have that; nope, no friend of mine is spending their birthday alone."

"Who's spending their birthday alone?" Artie asked wheeling up next to us with Mike.

"Rachel." Brittany replied.

"Guys I have a plan she isn't going to be alone. I want it to be a surprise though."

"Count us in." Mike said

"Us too." I said.

"Guys-"

"No look, Rachel did a lot for us all even if we chose not to recognize it and tomorrow is her 18th birthday we have to make it epic for her. If it was any of us she would go out of her way to do it for us. So we're all in this." I said Quinn sighed and bowed her head.

"Fine, no one tells Rachel and I'm not sure I want Finn there. He'll be a douche."

"Hell no, Finn isn't in on this we'll work around him." Artie said

"Okay so here's the plan."

As she got down and dirty with the deets I smiled.

"All you have to do is get her to come." I said as the three of us walked to the location Rachel texted Quinn she was at. We had just sorted most of the plans and were all excited to get it in motion. Everyone except Finn and Rachel were on board.

"Yeah I can't wait for tomorrow." Brittany said excitedly.

"If only I can get her to go with me." Quinn said.

"Get who to go where with you?" Rachel asked walking out of the bathroom we just passed.

QPOV

"We'll catch up with you guys later." Santana said pulling Brittany into the bathroom.

"God, I don't want to even know what they are going to do in there." I said as we walked towards Rachel's locker.

"You're changing the subject Quinn." She said calmly. I rubbed my shoulder then ran my hand through my hair.

"Okay Rach, the truth is I know your birthday is tomorrow, I've known since you said it last year but back then I was still denying my feelings for you. I wanted to ask you to go somewhere with me tomorrow because I don't want you to spend your birthday alone."

She stepped forward taking my hand. "Quinn all you had to do is ask. Wait a minute." She finished skeptically.

"Did Santana make you take me somewhere tomorrow because I still have no idea how she found out my birthday is tomorrow but I don't need a pity date" She rambled. I ran my hand through my hair again and walked away before turning back frustrated.

"Geez Berry, I just told you I knew about this for a while. I just didn't have the courage to approach you about it. Haven't you ever realized how much of a chicken shit I am when it comes to you? I'm always too scared to approach you and when I do I'm fighting off the thought of you rejecting me in my mind. Just trust that your birthday will be a lot of fun tomorrow because I have a plan and you are going to love it."

I bowed my head and looked up at her through my eye lashes. She rested her hand on my cheek holding it up forcing me to look into her eyes. Instead of saying anything she got closer to me putting her lips on mine. The thought of being in the middle of the hall with students crossed my mind for a split second but rather than tensing I pulled her into me deepening the kiss. When we both needed air her hand remained where it was and I rested my head against her forehead.

"So is that a yes?" I asked huskily

"Definitely" She replied smiling brightly kissing me again.

"Get you some Berry juice there Q." Santana shouted down the hall making me blush.

"I know that's right!" Rachel agreed loudly making me look at her questioningly.

"What the-" I started

"Look at Santana's facial expression." She explained laughing. I turned to see Santana sporting the look I must've just had and all I did was laugh.

"You're nuts Rach." I said putting my arm around her as we walked towards my bestfriend.

"I am but that's what you love about me." She said softly.

"Among other things" I whispered in her ear.

so next chapter will be Rachel's birthday surprise...lots more to come. Let me know what you think. I'll update soon.

Specks :)
