Chapter 3

                                    

                                          


                          
It had been a week after Rachel had joined Cheerios and had her disagreement with Finn over why she joined.  She was having a lot of fun being a cheerleader.  She loved dancing and as an added bonus, she got to spend more time with her newest best friend Quinn Fabray.  Santana was a little jealous of their friendship, but Rachel was starting to grow on her.  But she kept her distance for the most part, especially when Quinn was with her, she was still mad at her and was not willing to forgive her anytime soon.  
                          
After cheerios practice Rachel walked up to Santana who was talking to Brittany, "Are you guys going to go on without talking to each other for the rest of the year or something?" Rachel asked Santana.  "Hello to you too Berry.  To answer your question, I'll talk to her once she gives me an apology." Santana responded.  "She told Coach Sylvester about my summer surgery and got me demoted to the bottom of the pyramid."  "Look, I understand why you're upset.  If I was in your position I'd probably feel the same way." Rachel looked her in the eyes.  "I don't think she should have done that and I told her that.  Trust me, she is sorry.."  "Well, if she's really sorry then she should tell me that to my face, instead of having you tell me that she's sorry." Santana interrupted.  "Quinn didn't ask me to talk to you, okay.  I'm just looking out for my friends."  "I appreciated it Berry, but if Quinn wants to get back into my good graces, she'll have to come to me."
                          
Later that evening, Rachel was working on homework when her phone went off.  She picked up her phone seeing she got a text from Quinn.
                          
Q: Hey Rach.
                          
R: Hey Q.  What's up?
                          
Q: Just wondering if you'd want to come over.  I'm trying to figure out what Britney song I want to perform.
                          
R: As much as I'd like to, I can't.  I'm working on algebra homework.  How about tomorrow?  Considering we don't have glee or cheerios practice.
                          
Q: Yeah let's do that!
                          
R: Okay.  There is something else though.
                          
Q: What's up?
                          
R: I talked to Santana
                          
Q: Okay
                          
R: I tried to convince her to talk to you.
                          
Q: And?
                          
R: She told me that if you're really sorry for telling coach about her breast enhancements and getting her demoted to the bottom of the pyramid, you need to tell her yourself.
                          
Q: I knew she would see things that way.
                          
R: I hate seeing you two acting like you hate each other.  Can't you guys just make up already and be besties again?  This has gone on for long enough and I don't want this to impact our performances.
                          
Q: Okay, you're right.  I don't want this to get worse.
                          
R: You two have been friends for a long time, I'm sure she'll forgive you.
                          
Q: Rachel.
                          
R: Yeah?
                          
Q: You're the best. :)
                          
R: Aww, thanks Q.
                          
Q: Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
                          
R: Sounds good Q.
                          


                          
Author's Note:
I know this is going rather slowly, but I'm trying to establish Quinn and Rachel's friendship.  This will get more interesting later on.
