Chapter 25
Quinn's Choice: Puck or Jeff
"Hey Quinn," Puckerman said closing her locker.
"Get away from me Noah."
"You aren't fooling me with this punk girl act."
"It isn't an act."
"Well there is something you need to see," he grabs her hand and pulls her to the locker room.
"Hello Quinn," Shelby announced when they entered the room.
"What are you doing here?"
"I am a teacher here now, and I want you and Puck to be in Beth's life, but not like this."
"This is who I am."
"No it isn't Quinn!" Puck interrupted, "I don't know what hit you, but you need to get out of this phase."
"Why? The look fits my bad attitude now."
"Quinn, you know you aren't the bitch that everyone thinks you are."
"YES I AM!"
"Quinn?" Jeff asked coming around the corner into the choir room.
"What are you doing here Jenni?" Puck asked rudely.
"Umm, Quinn is my girlfriend."
"Ha, well this should be interesting."
"Shut up!"
"What are you going to do about her change?"
"Umm, well that is why I am here."
Quinn turned to Jeff with a cocked eyebrow.
"Quinn, you are the most beautiful girl in this school, and I am the luckiest guy in the world to have you as my girlfriend, but please stop this. There are other ways to get popularity than being bad."
"Like what? I was kicked out of the Cheerios and the glee club isn't going anywhere."
"It is Quinn, and without you it is only going to be harder. We won Sectionals."
"We tied at Sectionals just like last year."
"I can't take your pessimistic attitude!"
"Oooo, is the great motivator giving up?" Noah mocked.
"SHUT IT PUCKERMAN! Quinn, please open your heart."
"You promised you would love me even if I stayed like this."
"Well, I was desperate then, but I have decided that you have changed more than just on the outside. You are a different person."
"Jeff?"
"Now it is your decision. Me or your crew of skanks!"
"I won't give up on you Quinn," Puck interjected, "So make that between him, me, and the skanks."
Quinn kept looking between the two boys. If she chose Puck she would probably be popular again, and get to see her baby, but Jeff is different it seems like when she was with him she was happy.
"Well?" Jeff asked tapping his foot on the tile.
"I…"
"Yeah?"
"I choose… Noah."
Jeff felt like his heart split in two, and collapsed to the floor in tears.
"Jeff I am…" Quinn went over to comfort him.
"Get the hell away from me. If popularity really means that much to you, I am glad you chose him. You two are fucking perfect for each other."
"Jeff…"
"Leave me alone," he crawled to a chair and fell into his lap weeping hysterically.
Puck and Quinn left the room and Shelby pulled a chair up next to Jeff.
"Are you okay?"
"Do I look okay?" he looked up to her and his face was beet red and his cheeks were lined with tears.
"It is okay. People break up all of the time in high school."
"She was the longest girlfriend I ever had, and the only one I actually kissed."
"Oh, well."
"You're starting a new show choir right?"
"Yeah."
"I want to join."
"Okay."
"I am sorry, but could you please leave? I need some time to myself right now."
"Sure."
Ms. Corcoran left and Jeff grabbed his face in his hands and continued to cry.
