her last intention was to come off as standoffish ; while she had an unmistakable talent for pretending lionization of her own celebrity was the only thing she cared about , she found it difficult to feign a pseudo sense of narcissism around sam ( quinn fabray was more than what met the eye ) . for once , she felt like she didn’t have to fulfil an invisible expectation . she could be herself , no shiny , red cheer - leading skirt , no high pony that entitled her to fabricated power & entitlement . obviously sam didn’t have an interest in the superficial nonsense of mckinley high .
“ thank you... ” she has to admire his chivalry ; it suited him , despite the paradox between his grunge aesthetic & his actions . she casually wraps sam’s jacket around her waist , casually taking a seat beside him , crossing one leg over the other . his inquiry makes her visibly fidget , biting down on her bottom lip before she lets out a breathy chuckle . “ believe it or not , i don’t tell my friends everything i’m doing . its not exactly a conversation you bring up to someone like santana or brittany on the fly . i like you sam , but my friends always stick their noses where they don’t belong & you don’t deserve to put up with that just yet .”
