‘I’m sure she wouldn’t. Though she might, since you’d be talking about her.’ Quinton shrugged, before quirking an eyebrow. ‘I’m not entirely sure if you mean that sarcastically or not. But sure. Let’s go get them, Anderson.’ He nodded back towards the room where their group was gathering.’
“True. I didn’t think about it that way. Knowing Rachel? She might,” he huffed and lifted both hands to rub the last of worry out of his expression that all his fretting tensed into the muscles along his jaw and burrowed eyebrows. “Sarcastic? No. I really mean it.” His worry wasn’t for the group. Only how well he would do along with them in public for the first time. “Let’s go,” Blaine walked past he blond and paused just outside the door to glance over his shoulder and smile. “Thanks for the talk, by the way.. Not sure you know how much I appreciate it.”
‘Pre-show jitters?? I thought people like you and Berry didn’t get that kind of thing. It’s gonna be fine, Anderson. Our classmates are a LOT more impressionable than the rest of Glee club seems to think they are. Just act like you own them, and they’ll think you do.’
“Yeah. We do. Or I do? Can’t speak for Rachel. I’m sure she wouldn’t appreciate it if I tried so-. I think it’s the whole ‘only human’ thing. Give me a second and I’ll be good. You’re right. It’s only a McKinley performance not Sectionals. No idea what’s wrong with me. With a team like you guys? We’re going to knock their socks off.”
‘Are you ready, or what, Anderson?? It’s just a school event, not National’s.’
“What did you–? Oh! Yeah–Yeah I am. Sorry. Pre-show jitters. Nothing to be worried about. Only–you know–it’s my first one with you guys and–and nothing. No big deal. No big deal at all.”
