Nick: I'm sorry?

Nick: Are you sure?
Nick: Well you're my friend. I'm not gonna treat you like shit.
Rachel: Is this going to be how it is from now on?
Rachel: It's fine. I'm fine. I need to be focusing on getting to New York any how and he was just another distraction.

Nick: A "you were 30 seconds away and didn't say hi" kinda problem.
Nick: I'm 100% joking by the way, I heard what happened.
Rachel: I wasn't thinking at the time otherwise I would have 100% invited you.

Nick: Hey.
Nick: Theres a problem.
Rachel: What kind of problem, exactly?

Skylar: Simply shrugged "It's a rich boys school for sure." he chuckled "It's insane, half because it's just a lot of work but the other half is like 'oh holy shit this is my last year of highschool... what the fuck' you know?" he shook his head slightly as he spoke "I figured you would but I thought I'd offer," he knew Rachel was pretty good at being prepared but he also wouldn't blame her if she wasn't thinking very clearly. He frowned when she came out of the bathroom and shook his head "No I think Finn breaking up with you proves how much of an idiot he actually was. Why do you think that?"
Rachel: "Yeah, it's scary to think that this time next year things will be completely different. But I find it really exciting too. We have New York to look forward to and the start of our dreams coming true. We're going to be fine." And she swallows down the lump that is beginning to form, knowing she's saying all this to convince herself more than she's trying to convince him. "I just don't think things are going as planned is all." And she plasters on a smile before linking arms. "Lead the way. I just want to swim and laugh and not think about anything for a little while."

Skylar: Nodded "I'll be quick, promise." he said going into the bathroom "uhh... I went like a week after school got started back in September but no, not since then, haven't had much time to, senior year and all that." he answered as he got changed "Well it shouldn't be too bad, the pool is a salt water pool so there little to no chlorine in it," he said stepping out of the bathroom, going to his closet and pulling a tank top on, he didn't mind being in his swimsuit around Rachel but walking throughout the school to the pool shirtless was a bit much for him. He was pretty sure he could get written up for it anyway. "it is, the only person who snores is me, which unless I'm overly loud I don't get woken up," he chuckled "Are you gonna want a t-shirt to wear over your suit until we get to the pool?" he asked "If so you're welcome to borrow one of mine."
Rachel: laughs, "I forgot how fancy Dalton is." Rachel looks him over once he's out and she nods her head. "Senior year. It's still so crazy to meet." She starts towards the bathroom. "I came prepared but thank you, really." She avoids the mirror in order to change quickly and once she has her clothes over her suit she steps back out into the room. "Do you think that Finn breaking up with me is just a sign that...nothing is supposed to go right for me?"

Skylar: was glad the drive from McKinley to Dalton was a decently long one, it gave him time to get his head cleared a bit before Rachel showed up. Sure, Rachel knew he smoked weed but with everything she was going through the last thing she needed was a high best friend, no, he had to be there for her and being high would have hindered that ability. He still couldn't believe someone like Finn would have been stupid enough to let someone as amazing as Rachel go. Truthfully he had never liked Finn, having heard too many stories of the difficult times in his and Rachels relationship and just the stories of him in general, it never really painted him in the best light. Being her friend though he tried to be as supportive of it as he could but really he knew Rachel was probably better off without him.
After running his face under cold water for a bit he heard his phone go off, quickly drying his face he went to his door and opening it for Rachel "Hey," he stepped aside letting her in "I have to find my suit but make yourself at home, my roommates gone for the weekend so it's just me here, sorry about the mess."
Rachel: manages a smile, leaning in for a quick hug. "I need to change to. You go first." She is quick to pull away and instead of commenting on the mess she finds items she can put away for him. "Have you been for a swim in a while?" She calls out to him as she moves to sit on his bed, pulling out her bathing suit and towel from her bag. "My going under will have everything to do with how many chemicals it smells like there is in the water." The brunette scrunches her nose up as she grabs her things as she hears the bathroom door open. "It must be nice having the room to yourself?"

Skylar: Drive safe.
Rachel: Here.
Rachel: Let me in please.

Rachel: gripped the steering wheel too tightly the whole drive to Dalton. How dare Finn say she's not the same girl she had been before college letters came back. How dare he care? The break up had everything to do with making himself feel good and nothing to do with giving her space to feel better.
She grabbed the night bag from her passenger seat once she arrives and sends a text to let Skylar know she had arrived. This would be fine. She is fine and swimming would just be a nice way to spend time with her favorite friend and also get a bit of movement incorporated into her day. Movement she wouldn't have to worry too much about, though she was feeling a bit uncomfortable being in a bathing suit again. Skylar would never look at her in a way she didn't approve of and he would never judge her so it's easy to push the uneasiness aside.

Skylar: Okay, I'll see you soon then?
Skylar: Of course I'm sure, come to my dorm and we'll head down there together.
Rachel: I'll see you soon.
TEXT | SKYLAR
Skylar: You could come over to dalton and we could use the pool here too if you wanted. Less people. The swim team doesn't start practices for another month so it's a good chance its completely empty.
Skylar: Plus it's in doors.
Rachel: Yeah, that's a better idea.
Rachel: I can head that way now.
Rachel: Are you sure?
TEXT | SKYLAR
Skylar: I can try.
Skylar: If that's what you want yeah sure.
Rachel: My dad's have clients in town at the nice hotel.
Rachel: We can use the pool there.
Rachel: Or the gym. We could use the gym.
TEXT | SKYLAR
Skylar: Do you need anything?
Rachel: I need air. But I'm not sure you can help that.
Rachel: Do you maybe want to go swimming?
TEXT | SKYLAR
Skylar: Right. Sorry.
Skylar: Are you okay?
Rachel: I am.
Rachel: But still.
