Quinn's POV
Spencer sat down on one of the benches off the running path and I sat next to her.
"So what was it like at your old school?" Spencer asked.
"Hierarchical," I answered.
"And where in the hierarchy were you?"
"That changed a lot." I said. Spencer waited for me to continue. I took a deep breath. "I started out on top. I made the cheerleading squad, which is probably still the best high school squad in the nation."
Spencer looked so interested in what I was saying, I couldn't help but continue.
"I was the first sophomore ever to be named head cheerleader, or Head Cheerio as I was called. Naturally with all that power, I was kind of a bitch. I don't think I realized at the time just how much of a bitch I was."
Spencer reached out and took my hand, squeezing it in silent support of me.
"Sophomore year I cheated on my boyfriend and gave my virginity to his best friend."
It sounded so bad when you said it out loud. Not that I didn't know it was bad, it just…I've never said it so bluntly before. I wondered why I was being so blunt and honest with this girl who clearly likes me.
"I ended up getting pregnant."
I felt Spencer squeeze my hand again.
"And Finn, my boyfriend, joined Glee Club and started getting close to this girl Rachel. I guess I was jealous or possessive or something so when I couldn't convince Finn to quit, I joined as well to, I don't know keep an eye on him or her."
A part of me was expecting Spencer to go running for the hills. I know I would be if I wasn't me.
"With Glee Club came the plunge in popularity, though being the Head Cheerio and him being the quarterback, we weren't as low as Rachel or the other glee kids that weren't in athletics. And then when everyone found out I was pregnant, I was kicked off the team, and all the glee kids who I thought were losers were there for me. I guess I had a big change in perspective that year. My parents actually kicked me out when they found out."
Spencer pulled me closer and wrapped her arm around me.
"I'm so sorry all this happened to you," Spencer said.
"That school had more drama than a soap opera, I swear."
Spencer laughed nervously.
"Junior year I got back to Head Cheerleader, and then my best friends and I quit the day of the regionals competition because Coach Sylvester was trying to make us chooses between Cheerios and Glee and she wanted to shoot Brittany, one of my best friends out of a cannon. She's rather insane. I ended up getting back together with Finn until he dumped me at a funeral."
"His loss," Spencer said.
"Rosewood's drama free, right?" I asked. I knew that no place was truly drama free, but Rosewood had to be better than Lima, right?
