SLIGHT SEASON 2 SPOILER
Rivalry is fiercer than competition ever could be. Rivalry isn’t a one song kind of deal; there are no friends after I put the microphone down. Rivalry is a fight, a constant struggle for something, or in this case someone.
I scowled and watched with baited breath as she made her move on the unsuspecting subject. She was like a Lion hunting a Gazelle she was going to get her prize whether it was liked or not. I stood far enough away for them not to notice me, the art of rivalry, never let them know you actually care.
He shuffled on his feet as she flicked her ponytail this way and that. I swallowed as she brushed her arm against his.
“Hey Finn.” She said and I folded my arms against my chest.
“Oh, hi Quinn.” He smiled and looked back to his sheet music.
“So, I was thinking now you...you know are no longer Quarter back and I’m head cheerleader.” Finn looked up and raised his eyebrow. “We could maybe get back together. It’s so obvious you’re just dating Rachel so you can touch some boobs, I’m willing to let you Finn. Imagine the popularity.” I smiled as Finn stared at her mouth open.
“I mean I’ll admit Quinn, I still have feelings for you.” Rivalry was harsh, and Finn had just assured I could never have a successful comeback. “But I love Rachel a lot. More than I even thought I could and I’m sorry Quinn.” I was back.
“It’s okay.” She smiled weakly and walked away straight into me. “What are you smiling at man-hands?”
“My boyfriend just told you how much he loves me, I feel that says it all really.” I would’ve walked away if I hadn’t noticed she was crying, even I am not that harsh.
“You don’t get it do you, he was mine and I could’ve have had him but.” Her voice faded away as her hands fell to her stomach. “I miss Beth and I just want everything to be normal again.”
I stared at her for a moment before wrapping my arms around her.
And shut it Finn I did not do that because I like her, it was merely a gesture for the team. Rivals are rivals. Seriously shut up Finn or I won’t kiss you again...ever.
Okay I’ll admit I felt sorry for her and I don’t like watching people cry and it doesn’t matter because we’ll be rivals again tomorrow. No, the fact I’m taking her to the mall on Saturday doesn’t count and neither does the fact I might have maybe volunteered my solo for her because she was having a bad day... doesn’t count at all.
Yes, rivalry....Quinn and I nothing but rivals.
