"What the heck is with you today?" Santana asked as they sat at lunch, the blonde absentmindedly pushing her salad around her plate as she gazed across the room to where Rachel was sat laughing with Tina as Mike and Artie recited lines from some dumb movie.
"Huh?" she said, "oh, nothing. Didn't sleep very well"
"She's staring at Rachel" Brittany said casually before spooning the rest of Santana's jello into her mouth, she looked up and smiled as Quinn stared at her with wide eyes.
"Nothing new there" Santana murmured as she drummed her fingertips against the lunch table.
"What did you say?" Quinn said suddenly paying complete attention, though her eyes were tempted to wander.
Brittany giggled, Santana snorted.
"Please, Q, don't even try to deny it. You've been obsessed with her since freshman year"
The blonde fought to defend herself.
"What on earth are you talking about? I'm just making sure she keeps her hands off my boyfriend"
"Oh, really? So that's why Finn's been sat at her table?" Santana smirked as she raised an eyebrow, the blonde's attention immediately turned to Rachel's table to find that Finn was sat on the other side of Mike though the diva was no longer there.
Wow, she really hadn't noticed Finn.
"How could you not notice Finn?" Brittany asked, "he's like a giant"
Quinn could feel her cheeks warming slightly; she huffed out a breath and stopped pretending to pick at her food.
Santana rolled her eyes before placing a hand on top of her pale one.
"You gonna tell us what's going on? And don't try to throw any bullshit my way, Q, I know you and I know when you're bs'ing"
"I'll tell you guys about it..just not here" she said looking around as she constantly smoothed her dress down, "I feel vulnerable..especially seeing as I don't have any underwear on"
Both girls eyes goggled.
"Why the hell are you commando?" Santana demanded.
"Jacob"
That was all Santana needed to hear to be up out of her seat dragging said boy out of the cafeteria by his collar with two blondes chasing after her.
She threw him inside a deserted classroom and Brittany closed the door behind them.
"Wanna tell me why the fuck you have my friend's underwear, jewfro?" Santana asked folding her arms across her chest, Jacob actually looked petrified.
"B-because, we..we made a deal about something"
"And you made her pay you with her underwear?" Santana screeched, "god can't you just get your kicks by watching porn like a normal teenage boy? I've got half a mind to shove that underwear up your-"
"Wait" Brittany said as the three looked to her, "was the deal to do with what we talked about Jacob?"
"What do you mean Britt?" Quinn asked.
"I gave Jacob my bra cause' he promised to keep quiet about Rachel's flower, but apparently he bribed Rachel and you"
Santana's eyes narrowed, Jacob Ben Israel was quivering, physically quivering.
"Here's how this is gonna go, freak. You're going to give all the girls back whatever they gave you, and then I'm going to burn them because god only knows what they'd get by re-wearing them. You're going to stop being such a perverted kid and you're NEVER going to cross anyone I'm friends with again, get it? Got it? Good"
She all but threw him out the door and that was that.
"Okay, now Quinn please give me the full story because my head fucking hurts"
And so she told them everything, from her google search to giving Jacob her underwear to being confused about how to go about her day.
"You're stupid sometimes, and that's coming from me" Brittany chuckled, "Rachel likes you and you like her, what's there to be confused about?"
The blonde put her head down on the cool table, she was suddenly feeling warm.
Swarms of images were playing inside her head and when she lifted it again there were tears glazing her eyes.
"Q" San said softly.
"I've blocked it out for so long, I just..I don't know what to do. I don't know how she can possibly like me yet alone have any kind of feelings towards me"
"You love her" Brittany said putting a hand on her shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze.
Quinn sniffed and tried to hide her face as her two friends embraced her.
"We'll help you" Santana whispered, she was a bitch but she was there when it counted.
"Thanks you guys" the blonde said dabbing at her eyes slightly, "San do you think we can cut so I can get some underwear?"
Santana laughed before ruffling Quinn's hair.
"Sure, as long as we can stop by a drive thru first, is it just me or does this school's food get shittier everyday?"
