Chapter 2: All the small things... lead to fireworks!


"Hey, Coach Sue" "What is it Jugs, can't you see I'm in the middle of a very important phone call" Sue snarled from behind her desk. "Yeah, well, put it on hold, I have a proposition for you." Santana replied. "You did notjust speak to me like that? ...I like your confidence Lopez, you remind me of a young Sue Sylvester! President, I will have to get back to you, yeah yeah." Sue puts the phone down and motions for the girls to sit down.

"So, Sandbags, Yentl, what can I do you for?" "Well Coach, I used to be Head Cheerleader, and as an ex Head Cheerleader, I want to make Berry over here Fabray's co-captaion."

"WHAT!?" both Sue and Rachel yell.

"Look..." Santana continues, ignoring their incredulous looks, "she's been doing ballet and dance lessons since she was, like, 3 months old... and I'm in her gym class and she can pretty much do everything that Quinn can do, and more!"

"Hmm" Sue says, eyeing Rachel, "is this true man hands?"

Rachel just nods slowly. "Why did you not join us sooner, you could be at the top of this school by now, and you never would have lost your eye candy... Finn Hudson? So, Streisand, wellcome to the team... Now get the hell out of my office. Lopez will give you a uniform." Sue rambles on. "Thank you Coach, I won't let yo-" "Yeah yeah yeah, get out."


"I look awful..."

"Rachel, I think you look hot... like really hot, but something's wrong? Santana, you need to do her hair up like ours!" Brittany said. "Ok, done! Wow, Berry, you look fine. But when we leave this bathroom, Quinn is going to try and kick your ass." Santana stated.

"What? Why?" Rachel asks, panicking. "You stole her spot, she's now a co-captain. Don't worry though, we got your back" Brittany says smiling.

"Yeah, if she tries anything, I will go all Lima Heights on her ass, and she will be begging for mercy. See, me and Britts are now your new 'best friends', we're gonna help you out with bitches and bullies like Quinn, and you... well you should just enjoy being in our company."

"Santana, that's mean. I've always kind of liked Rachy, she wears awesome clothes with cats on it! And she has a super good voice, you just pretend not to like her 'cuz you want all the solos..."

"Aww, Santana, is that true!"

"...Kinda, but anyway, let's go and face the blonde music."


"Raaaccchhheeellll" Sam yells, spinning Rachel around.

"Sam, what is it? You look like you've seen a ghost!" Rachel laughs. "Rach, it's Quinn. She has gone freaking crazy, I just saw her screaming at Finn when he begged her not to hurt you... hide Rach, I don't really want to see you get hurt!" Sam explains.

"Look Trouty, she ain't gonna get hurt, she has me" Santana smirks. Puck comes running around the corner, and he comes up to them panting. "Rach... what have you done!" Puck pants out. "I'm pretty sure Quinn is going to kill you!"

"Crap, here comes baby gate now" Santana said, looking behind Puck.

"Awh, look Rachel! Picking up my sloppy seconds again are we?" Quinn said sickingly sweet, laughing. "Quinn, why are you laughing? Puck was mine first. Finn cheated on you with me. Then he was going to leave you, but then you pretended he was the father of your child, when we all knew it was Noah, or have you forgotten about Beth already? And not that it's any of your business, but Sam and Noah were talking to me, because they are my friends. See Quinn, girls can have boys that are just friends." Rachel says it all in a calm voice, smile never leaving her face.

"Oooohhh... I think Quinn just got served!" Brittany whispered in Artie's ear. "True dat!" he whisper-yelled back.

"Oh my, Rachel, you think that you are so smart huh? Finn only went out with you to get over me! He told me yesterday how you were his biggest mistake! Sweetie, you are just living in a fantasy. He belongs with me, not you! It's how it is supposed to work." Rachel just scoffed, "Quinn, get over yourself. You know Finn still loves Rachel. Was it not just last week you were crying about how he said her name while making out with you?" Santana interjects.

"Shut up Santana, you're just a slut that no-one even likes" Quinn smirks at her. "Oh Q, the tables have turned you see. Everyone hates that you're a user, a liar, and a huge cheater" Puck says. "Why are you even trying to fight back Rocky, this is a fight you're going to lose." Quinn walks away.

"San, can I lie to her" Rachel asks quietly in Santana's ear as an idea popped into her head. Santana looks at her, suprised, but her face quickly morphs into a devious grin, "go for it Berry. What ever gets her mad, I'm in."

"Quinn!" Rachel yells, running after her. Quinn turns around. "Tell Finn that I'm free tonight if he want's to finish off what we were doing last night... see ya bitch!" Rachel whispers into Quinn's ear. Quinn storms off and Rachel explodes in a fit of laughter.

"Wooah, what did you say Rachel?" Artie asks. "Well, just put it this way, Finn and I are having an affair. Everyone bursts out laughing.


"Rach...el, we need to talk" Finn said, walking up to her as she and Puck walked out of Science.

"What is it Finn?" Rachel asked as they walked to her locker, giving a wave and a wink to the passing Hocky team. "Why'd you tell Quinn that we were having sex?" Rachel and Puck looked at each other before bursting out with laughter. "I never said that... Noah, did I say that?" Rachel laughs out. "Nope! No man, she never said that. From what I recall Quinn actually told Rachel, about your sex life." Puck says.

"Wha... what sex life? The furthest we have like ever gone is make out..." Finn said dumbfounded as the other two keeled over laughing once again. "So... what, are you two like an item now? or...?" Finn asks.

"God no, he's with Lauren" Rachel said, Puck interjects "And Rachel is dating Jesse" he says, attempting to keep a straight face. "Rach can I talk to you, like, just the two of us for one second?" "Yeah, um, sure." They walk into one of the empty class rooms.

"Why Rach, why? Don't you remember what he did to you? How he hurt you?" "Finn, what Jesse did can't be changed, but it didn't hurt me as much as how you hurt me." "That's not fair, you cheated on me. And you knew how messed up I'd be over this, after what happened with Quinn" Finn yells at her.

"So why the hell can you forgive HER and not ME. I NEVER had sex with him, yet you still strive to make my life a LIVING HELL!" Rachel yells back, tears rolling down her face.

"You can't turn this on me. What you did was really bad, did you know I cried for weeks like a girl after what happened." Finn says. "Yeah Finn, but you're avoiding the question. If you loved me as much as you said, why can you forgive her. I know what I did was bad, but you being with her is like a walking reminder of another thing I screwed up! It's like everyday I see you two making out by her locker. It's like, why don't you just put a big fucking stamp on her saying "LOOK RACHEL, i FORGAVE HER, BUT NOT YOU! CAUSE YOU'RE JUST A FREAK I USED TO GET OVER HER." I have you for that Finn. You walk around school hand in hand. She cheated, lied, and made you get a job and give her the money. You let her live in your house. For god's sake Finn, she insults you all the time, and if you look back on your life, you will see that I'm the only one who loved you through thick and thin. But no, popularity ALWAYS comes first to Mr Tough Guy Hudson. So you just drop me like last weeks trash and go running back to Quinn. Why Finn, that's all I want to know.

"Because I love you more! It hurts so fucking much, every time I see you all I can think of is you and Puck making out, and Quinn was just there. And god Rachel, why'd you have to screw us up, we were perfect!"

Finn sat down on a desk and put his hand out for Rachel to take, she took it. "Look Rach, I love you, you're amazing...I can't do this...I can't." And with that Finn ran out the room, and was greeted by Puck and Santana, who were not so subtly listening to their talk through the door. "Finn, bro, I know that this ain't gonna help, but when Rach and I made-out, she kept saying your name..."

Finn replied by punching Puck in the face "That's for wrecking the best thing that happened in my worthless life!"
