" You're going, right?"

Santana dropped the flyer on Quinn's lap as she approached her during lunch. Quinn was sitting out in the school's courtyard by the stairs with a few other Cheerios. As Quinn picked up the flyer and examined it, Santana shot a look to the girls and they quickly left, leaving her and Quinn alone. Santana quickly sat down next to the blonde and began eating a red apple.

" The Annual Star Gaze Party", Quinn read on, raising her eyebrow in amusement. The Star Gaze was a party first started by the Astronomy club a few years back. They would go out and get together in the woods around 10 o'clock and watch the stars with their microscopes. But of course later on the popular kids began to crash the party with drinks and it would turn wild with more than half of the school there. The Astronomy club didn't oppose to it since it actually got them recognized by the popular crowd and saved them from any slushie attacks.

" I don't know, S", she handed her back the flyer, " I've got things to do and a cheer competition coming up.."

" Like hell you do, Fabray", Santana scoffed, " You and I both know you've got nothing better to do. And your squad is more than ready for any competition coming up, you've been giving them hell since day one. So just give it up, cause you're coming"

Quinn rolled her eyes and sighed in defeat, " Whatever". Santana smirked, satisfied with her victory. She knew Quinn would give in easily to her, she always did.

" So Schuester is having more Glee auditions now", The Latina commented, " It's got the Hobbit going around school like a mad woman in search of new meat"

Quinn simply chuckled as they both looked across the courtyard and spotted Rachel trying to follow a group of younger freshmen, who simply tried to walk faster away from the smaller girl. They were obviously scared of her and her nonstop chatter. When they finally left her behind, Rachel went to another group of teens, waving the Glee Auditons flyer around, beginning to talk again. Once again, the group of teens ignored her and walked away quickly.

" Where the hell is Finn?", Quinn realized, " He's the co captain for God's sake! And the others? Shouldn't they be helping her out too?"

" You and I both know the answer to that", Santana said as if it was obvious. And it was. Finn a good guy but he wasn't the best supportive boyfriend. He may love Rachel, but he would never do something that could make people talk about him or give them a reason to laugh at him. Though he did do just that by joining Glee.

" You guys won't be able to get new members, you know that?", Quinn said and Santana nodded.

" I know. They know", Santana spoke and then glanced back at Rachel, " And she knows"

Quinn looked at Rachel and saw the look in her eyes. The smaller girl stood in the middle of the courtyard looking around helplessly after being shot down once again. Quinn noticed a hint of pain in her expression and saw how the small Diva quickly looked up again, wiping a small tear away and continued on to the next group of freshmen walking by.

" I'm not quite sure, Finn. Parties such as those aren't my definition of fun. And should I remind you of last year's party? I'm not a big fan of alcohol since then, I must say", Rachel explained as she gave her boyfriend back the Star Gaze Party flyer.

" Come on, Rach. It'll be fun and I'll be taking care of you", Finn whined as he watched her put some books inside her locker.

Rachel really didn't wish to go. She was still preoccupied with her thoughts and trying to find new members for Glee club. It was all that mattered to her, the club meant so much to her and she would do anything to save it. She was somewhat disappointed in the fact that her boyfriend, the club's co captain, had let her down and not done anything to help her find new members. But she wouldn't tell him that. But still, she had a reason to be upset, didn't she? Maybe not going to the party with Finn would make him feel the way he made her feel when he didn't help her earlier.

" Please", he looked down at her, " It would mean a lot to me", he said with his childish grin.

Rachel glanced up at him and began to reconsider. She felt like a horrible girlfriend, she should just go with him and make him happy…but still..

" Come on Fabray, are you going with someone else? Tell me who"

Rachel looked up and saw a football player following Quinn, who walked past her as she made her way to her own locker. Rachel watched the scene unfold from her locker, pretending to be listening to Finn's explanation on why she should go with him to the party. But her attention was on the blonde who stood a few lockers down from her. She listened closely to every word.

" I'm not going with anyone, Kevin", Quinn muttered, shoving books inside her locker, obviously growing impatient.

" Well then I don't see why you wouldn't want to go with me, babe", the boy chuckled and leaned closer to Quinn. The blonde pushed him away and looked at him disgusted.

" Don't call me that! And just back off, I'm not going with you anywhere! I may be going to the party but there's no way that I'd want to go with you! Are you capable of getting that through your head?", the blonde yelled at the boy, who stood feeling humiliated in front of everyone. He looked up at Quinn and nodded, walking away without another word.

"Rachel? Rach, are you listening to me?"

Rachel finally looked away from the scene and back to her boyfriend, who was looking at her strangely with concern. She realized she had a smile on her face, which she immediately shook off.

" Um I'm sorry, Finn..er I was uh…you know, I would love to go with you to the party", she stuttered as she accepted his offer. Finn quickly forgot about her not paying attention to him and was now smiling like a little boy.

" Really? Awesome!", he laughed, leaning down and giving her a kiss. Rachel pulled away, keeping the kiss short. She smiled back at him as he took her hand and began walking her to her next class.

As they walked down the hallway, Rachel's eyes met hazel ones as she walked by Quinn, who stared at her intently and Rachel just knew then that the Cheerio had heard her conversation with Finn. Rachel simply gave her a shy nod and then looked forward, walking away as she held onto Finn's hand. Quinn stared at the floor as she suddenly felt uncomfortable. All she kept thinking about was the party that night. Rachel Berry would be there…
