Rachel's POV

"I think we were good" I say to Finn as we were waiting in the green room for the top ten list of moving on show choir groups to be posted.

"Good?" Finn replies with excitement in his eyes.

"What about the kissing?" I whisper knowing that it was unprofessional.

"Yeah I'm calling it the kiss of the century" he says.

Suddenly a voice from behind me says "your wrong Finn." We turn and see Jesse St. James standing there with an un-amused expression on his face.

"That kiss was unprofessional, it was too personal and intense, the judges won't like it. They will consider it vulgar and it will have cost you nationals." Jesse says like he knows it all.

"What are you even doing here Jesse?" I retort.

"I wanted to see you Rachel, I wanted to be with you but obviously you can't keep your hands off every boy you see, me, Puck, Finn, I mean come on you even tried to get with Sam" he says.

I purse my lips knowing fully what he's trying to do, he's trying to get under my skin but I refuse to let him.

"Hey, she's not like that" Finn exclaims loudly shoving Jesse back slightly.

Jesse continues to ignore him and keeps staring at me, by now the rest of the new directions are staring at us having heard Finn yell.

"I mean I'm surprised you were a virgin when we met, no wonder your mommy didn't want you" he says looking satisfied.

That does it, I shove him back about four steps and yell, "at least I wasn't the dumbass who failed out of college in one semester because he was stupid enough to not show up and thing it would be fine."

I saw something unrecognizable flash through Jesse's eyes before I felt his hand strike the side of my face. My hand flew to my reddening cheek as I stare at him in shock before anyone can react and do something I raised my right hand and punched him in the face.

Everyone in new directions gasped as Jesse fell to the ground, blood spilling out of his nose and his cheek already bruising. I didn't realize how hard I hit him until I felt a dull pain in my right hand. Everyone was just kind of standing there in shock.

"Douchebag" I spit out before I feel Finn's arms around my waist pulling me back. Noah and Sam pick Jesse off the ground and throw him in the hall as he tries to swing at me. Mr. Shue gets up and shuts the door in his face and locks it. I realize I'm still in Finn's arms when he leans down and whispers "I love you" in my ear.

I turn around and kiss him passionately as everyone starts talking at the same time and we just ignore them. When we break apart I hear someone, presumably Noah yell "YES, my Jew babe is a badass" I crack a smile at this listen to everyone else.

I hear Artie say "I'm never calling her another name."

"Are you kidding me I'm never getting on her bad side" I hear Tina say and I look and see most of them nodding their heads in agreement.

Quinn looks at me and says "I'm so sorry I slapped you at prom." I give her a small smile, hopefully letting her know that it's ok, which to my relief she returns.

Mr. Shue then clears his throat and says "ok drama aside, they have posted the results, let's go see what we placed." Everyone cheers as we shuffle out of the green room. We don't see Jesse in the hall, I smile guessing that he got the message. I grab Finn's hand as we go see what we placed.
