Glee and the characters mentioned do not belong to me.

"Finn, I don't know why we're having this argument, I'm your girlfriend. That's the end of it" Quinn slammed her locker shut, and turned towards him, clutching her Spanish textbook to her chest. "If you loved me as much as you say you do you'd drop this".

Finn looked at his girlfriend blankly, scratching his head. "Seriously Quinn? I need an Algebra tutor, Rachel is really good at this math stuff. It's not like I chose her or anything, Ms. Wilson assigned me to her!"

"I don't care if she's Albert Einstein, you're not spending hours in a library alone with her. I'll tutor you, or Kurt can. Anyone but Rupaul." Quinn's eyes darkened and she furrowed her brow.

Finn sighed exasperatedly, throwing his hands up in the air "Don't you trust me Quinn? I love you. Not Rachel. You. I am your boyfriend. You're my girlfriend. That's it." He reached out to touch her, but she grabbed her arm before he could.

"It's not you I'm worried about. I don't trust that little hobbit one bit. She can't accept that you're with me now, she'll do anything to get you back, and it's not like you discourage her!" Quinn saw the confusion in Finn's eyes, and looked back at him sadly. "Finn, I love you, but I need you to love me, and only me. If we're going to be together, I need to know that I have all of you. When you're ready to be with me completely, come and talk to me." She turned away, leaving Finn wondering what had happened.

Rachel had been watching from around the corner, and seeing Quinn walk off, decided to approach Finn timidly. "So when would you like to start studying? Ms. Wilson just informed me that I'll be your peer tutor. I'm available before class, or after Glee on any day but Thursday, I have my acting classes those days and I-" Finn cut her off, slamming his locker shut.

"God Rachel! I can't deal with you right now! I can't handle this!" Finn turned towards her, and saw that he had frightened her. "No, Rach, I'm sorry, I'm just really frustrated and y-" This time, Rachel cut him off.

"No. It's okay, it's obvious that now isn't a good time, and it appears that there won't ever be a good time." She looked down at her shoes and said quietly "You know you don't have to take that from her, you're allowed to be friends with whomever you want." She fiddled with the bow on her shirt, and glanced up at him.

"My relationship with Quinn is none of your business Rachel, so stay out of it if you know what's good for you." Finn looked her up and down, sighed, and started turning around, "I guess I'll see you in Glee". He walked off towards his next class, leaving Rachel shocked.

"You can do way better, Berry". Rachel turned around, face to face with Kurt. "I mean, he is my step-brother, and it would be awesome to have a fabulous sister-in-law, but Finn is, to put it nicely, a dolt." He smiled sadly at her. "I appreciate your perseverance, but you really should consider pining after someone who knows what a great girl you are". Kurt put his arm around Rachel and gathered her into a quick hug, wiping away the tears that had started to roll down her cheeks. "No more crying over stupid boys. The only one that's worth your tears will never make you cry. Remember that." Kurt smiled, and poked Rachel's nose.

Rachel snuffled, and smiled back at her friend. "Thanks Kurt. I guess that means none of my previous flings are worth it?"

Kurt stopped and looked at her. "You cried over ALL of them? Even Blaine? Because he counts." He raised his eyebrow, and laughed as Rachel blushed remembering her sloppy kiss with his boyfriend. "Well, I guess Blaine is worth the tears. But Puck, Finn, and Jesse aren't. You're an amazing girl Rachel, even if you irritate me to no ends" He smiled as she laughed at his backhanded compliment, and linked arms with her, dragging Rachel off towards their next class. "So have you completed this week's assignment for Glee? Because your new-found independence might be the best inspiration EVER!"

A/N - YAY my first fic! I hope it isn't too annoying that the chapters are going to be short, but I really don't have the patience (or the skill) to write complicated chapters... ANYWAYS, please review, I want to improve! Also, stay tuned for some heartfelt glee club moments, and maybe a Finn/Rachel face-off in the future? :D
