So it's been about three weeks since Rachel met the boy of her dreams Jesse St. James, but why doesn't it feel right? Rachel knew the answer the second she thought the question, Finn, she thought to herself. Why does that boy have such a hold on her heart? Especially after how he's broken it multiple times. You need to move on, she would tell herself over and over again.
"Hey Rach!" Rachel looked up into the eyes of Finn Hudson. "Huh?" she said not being able to focus while looking into those dreamy eyes that she loved so much. "Is everything ok?" Finn asked.
"Oh, yeah sorry hi Finn what's up?" She said trying to be nonchalant.
"You seem distracted. Is there something on your mind?" Finn asked.
"I've just been thinking about glee and how we need more practice, especially with Regionals coming up." Rachel said, happy that she came up with an excuse.
"Oh yeah, I've been thinking a lot about it too, maybe we can get together later and discuss our plan to crush Vocal Adrenaline?" He said with a chuckle. Rachel giggled too.
"Well I think loosing their lead may have jeopardized their chance of winning at all". Finn cringed at the sound of that very familiar voice. "Jesse!" Rachel exclaimed hopping out of her seat to hug him. Finn hated Jesse with a passion and felt like Jesse was only there to spy on their glee club, considering he was the lead singer of their sworn enemy Vocal Adrenaline before coming to McKinley High claiming to be in love with Rachel. Even if he was, he hated the fact that the love of his life was with a stuck up loser like this guy. But Finn knew it was his fault he lost her. Why was I such a jerk to her? Why did I tell her my reputation was more important to me than her? Why am I such an ass? Finn struggled with these questions every time he saw Rachel. He just wished that he could tell her how he feels and that he's sorry for hurting her and he'd do anything to make it up to her. But he knew with Jesse in her life Rachel wouldn't even consider being with him. That made him mad.
Rachel could see the jealously all over Finn's face when she got up to give her boyfriend a hug. Good he deserves it she thought to herself. But she knew she didn't really mean it. In a way she wanted to kiss Jesse in front of Finn just to make him jealous, but in a way she just wanted to run over and tell him she's sorry for hurting him like this and she loves him. Jesse noticed her staring at Finn and bent down and kissed her on the lips. Boy did that make Finn mad, he got up and told Mr. Schue he had to use the bathroom and stormed off. I just want to run after him and kiss him and tell him everything's gonna be ok, Rachel thought.
As Finn walked to the choir room he thought about what he could do to make Rachel jealous because he saw the way she looked at him when he had left Spanish class, and he knew she still cared. " Hey virgin" he heard from behind him. He knew that voice. He turned around to greet Santana Lopez, the school's number one slut, who happened to be pretty hot Finn thought. And that's when he thought of his master plan. He'd go out with Santana and see how that made Rachel feel. He was hoping she'd get jealous and break things off with Jesse because she realized she wanted to be with him instead.
"Hey Santana, can I ask you something?" Finn asked awkwardly. "I've been telling you for weeks if you want me to sleep with you, I will", she said not even flinching or showing a sign of disgust. Finn thought about it for a second and then came back to reality. "No, uh, I, um, will you pretend to be my girlfriend?" He managed to say. "Are you seriously using me to make that dork Rachel jealous?" Santana bitched. "Never mind then" Finn said turning around to walk away. But before he could he heard Santana say, "Wait!". He turned around to see what she wanted. "I need a younger boyfriend or else Sue will kick me off the Cheerios for sure! I'm in" she said with a sigh. "Awesome!" Finn exclaimed, "Shall I walk you to class 'sweetie', the word tasting like poison in his mouth. "Sure, 'handsome', Santana said with a wink. Wow she's really into this plan if she didn't even say that with a twitch or having to gag,Finn thought to himself. Grabbing her hand they both walked into glee club.
The first person to notice was Rachel. She felt the anger inside her building up. Why is she so jealous of that slut? Her heart knew why though, she wanted Finn and didn't want anyone else to have him. "What's going on?" she asked as Finn and Santana approached her while holding hands. Before Finn could say anything Santana blurted out "Finn just asked me out! Isn't he so cute?" and she kissed him. Finn looked confused and Rachel felt like she was punched in the stomach. How dare she call him cute and kiss him right in front of my face! She thought to herself. But she knew she couldn't show her rage she had no reason to, she was with Jesse, Finn had the right to date whoever he wanted, even if it's the sluttiest girl in school. "Congratulations!" She heard herself say as if she meant it. She really wanted to say "Get your hands off my man!". That's when Jesse walked in. Thank God! She thought to herself. "Hey guys, I didn't know you two were together?" Jesse said with a confused yet satisfied look on his face. He knew that now he had Rachel all to himself, and he was so happy about that.
"Yeah, we finally decided that after weeks of hook ups and sending sexy text messages that we'd make it official, isn't that right Fintastic in bed?" Santana said with a wink. "Uh, yeah…?" Finn said a little confused. Rachel wanted to beat Santana senseless. What? Finn? Never! "I thought you guys hated each other?" she blurted out. "Oh, no sweety that's called playing hard to get", Santana said with a smirk on her face. If Jesse wasn't holding on so tightly to her she was gonna make sure Santana never said a word again. "Well, I think that's great I'm happy for the two of you." Jesse said, Rachel could tell he was happy about this.
"The assignment is love songs. Pick any song for you're special partner and by tomorrow I want to hear your affection for each other." Mr. Schuester said.
"Pssst, I got this down packed." Jesse said as he got up and walked over to the stool and picked up the acoustic guitar and sat down. "May I?" He asked Mr. Shuester. "Go ahead Jesse, show us what you got." Mr. Shue replied. Finn already felt like getting up and kicking Jesse in the face, and he hasn't even started singing yet.
Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go, whoa
Today in the blink of an eye
I'm holding on to something and I do not know why I tried
I tried to read between the lines,
I tried to look in your eyes,
I want a simple explanation; what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder
Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope,
I'm wrapped up in vines,
I think Ill make it out, but you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning,
Let me feel you in my veins,
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain
Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go, whoa
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder.
Rachel was in awe. Awww that was so cute! She thought to herself. She ran over and kissed Jesse, for a split second she glanced over at Finn, he looked heartbroken. She wanted to make him jealous, and that definitely did the job, but maybe that overdid it just a little. She didn't mean to hurt him. She didn't like seeing him hurt. She saw Santana walk over to Finn and she went back to focusing on Jesse.
"So 'baby', what song are you gonna sing to me?" Santana said mockingly. "I don't know yet, why?" Finn asked. "Because, I see the way you wish you were Jesse right now, and well think about it. If you sing a hot seductive song for me, that will send Rachel over the top! She'll totally be jealous." Santana said like it was the most brilliant plan in the world. Wait, it IS the most brilliant plan ever! Finn thought. "OK, I'll get started on it." He said, now more enthusiastic than ever about this plan. He was finally gonna get Rachel back.
