Unexpected

I'm a normal teenage girl. I'm also the most popular girl in William McKinley High School. I'm not the Bitchy Head Cheerleader actually that's my best friends, Santana Lopez and co-captain of the Cheerios and also Santana's girlfriend, Brittany S. Pierce. Though Britt isn't a bitch, she's far from it. She's the sweetest girl you will ever meet.

I have no idea why I'm so popular. Maybe it's because I'm best friends with the two Head Cheerleaders. Maybe it's actually because of my talent, but I highly doubt that. I am the captain of the girls' basketball team and I have to say, I am pretty good at what I do.

It's the first day of my sophomore year and I'm walking down the hall towards my locker when I see quite a few people pointing down the corridor. I turn in time to see none other than, Dave Karofsky throwing a bright red slushy in the face of a small brunette that I have never seen before.

"Welcome to McKinley loser!" Dave shouts and the crowd erupts into laughter. The small brunette lets out a sob and rushes off to the nearest restroom.

Before I know what the hell I'm doing, I take off in the direction of the girl whose name I don't know yet. When I make it to the bathroom I gently push the door open and poke my head around the corner. I see the girl trying desperately to clean corn syrup out of her hair with a paper towel, but failing miserably.

"Here let me help you." I say wetting a paper towel. She jumps ten feet in the air, and flinches when I start to clean her hair out.

"I'm Quinn, Quinn Fabray." I say trying to at least get a name out of her.

"Rachel Berry." She says slightly cautious.

"So are you new? I haven't seen you around here before, and trust me I would have noticed someone like you."

"And what is that?" She asks curiosity lacing her voice.

"Gorgeous." I reply easily.

She blushes and ducks her head before looking back up and making eye contact with me.

"Thank you. No one has ever said anything like that to me before. And yes I am new. I came from Columbus. My daddy got a new job."

"That's awesome. Listen don't let those people mess with you. They are all asses. If you hang with me, they won't bother you." I say trying to make her feel a little better.

"How are you so sure that they won't?" She asks uncertainty evident in her eyes.

"I'm the most popular girl in school. They're scared of me." I say with a slight chuckle.

"Oh. Well, I'll hang with you then." She says with a smile that makes my heart melt.

"Good. We should probably get to class. I have some extra clothes in my locker in the locker room that I think will fit you." I say dumping the soiled towels in the trash can by the door. I walk over to her and tug her hand whilst grabbing both of our bags.

We make it to the locker room and I hand her the clothes. She changes quickly and soon we find ourselves in front of her first class which happens to be my class as well. I walk in first and sit down, and she takes the seat next to me and sets her bag on the ground.

She leans in close to my ear and whispers, "Thanks… for everything."

"No problem Berry." I say with a slight smile on my face.
