Author's Note: Sorry, I was planning on updating last night, but personal issues got in the way. Anyways, I just got back from school and I am in a Finchelspirational mood (inspirational in a Finchel manner), but then again I always am, but you know I have enough right now to make random Finchel words! I am not sure how long this story will be, but I think it will end up being pretty long. Enough of me talking to myself, let's see how Rachel is feeling!
I had taken my seat next to Kurt, and eventually he had forced me to talk to him. I quickly relayed what had just happened between Finn and me, carefully leaving out how I felt about Finn. Kurt looked surprised when I told him that Finn had asked me to sit by him at lunch, but he listened intently. Kurt was definitely a good friend. He comforted me and tried to convince me that Finn maybe really wanted to be my friend, I nodded but I didn't truly believe that. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Finn enter the classroom. Oh my God. I hadn't realized that we shared this class together. I turned all the way around to face Kurt as Finn slid into the seat next to me. That was the last seat, and the teacher had practically yelled at him to sit down. I laughed at something Kurt had said, trying to drown out all my thoughts and feelings about Finn. I felt a tap on my shoulder on my left side. I turned and grabbed a small piece of paper. It said: Why are you ignoring me? Kurt was reading it over my shoulder. Without thought, I crumpled it and threw it into the recycling while Finn wasn't looking.
Kurt decided to stop talking, and prepare himself for the beginning of class. I sat in a daze, staring at Finn unashamedly. The bell rang and I saw Finn's eyes dart at me briefly. I looked away as quickly as possible. I gulped; I think he had seen me staring. The teacher began talking and I took careful notes; trying my best to ignore Finn. Finally class was over. I heard the bell rang and Kurt lead me to our next class which was science. Luckily Finn didn't share that class with me, so I didn't feel nervous about his presence. Why should I be anyways? I was letting him get to me.
After science, Kurt brought me to the cafeteria and we sat down at an empty table after we bought our lunches. Right when our butts touched the seats, "Rachel, tell me now. Do you like Finn?"
My face answered the question for me. Damn my cheeks.
"You do!"
"Well," I thought about my answer for a second, "I can't control it. There is just something about him. But can you just keep this between us, for now?"
"Of course," Kurt said. "But if you guys keep acting so obvious, I am not going to have to tell anyone."
"What do you mean?"
"Do I need to say it out loud? HE LIKES YOU!"
Oh God. No. He couldn't. "Kurt, he definitely has no feelings about me, he probably has a girlfriend."
"He does," my heart sank at that it hurt to be stabbed by the possibility, but it throbbed and bled when it was confirmed, "But that doesn't mean that he couldn't still have feelings for you."
I scanned the cafeteria with my eyes, and saw Finn sitting at a table full of jocks and Cheerios, that's what Kurt told me they were called. He was sitting next to a preppy blonde girl who kind of looked like a bitch. I assumed this to be his girlfriend. I closed my eyes. She was so much prettier than me; she was beautiful, hot, everything any boy here would want. Finn didn't like me, who would like me when they could have that.
Kurt snapped me out of my reverie. "Do you think you could stay after school and come to the Glee Club today, or do you still want to wait to join until later?"
I thought about it for a second. There was nobody to impress anymore. I would get slushied whether or not I joined Glee Club. "Sure," I answered.
"I am so excited!" Kurt exclaimed with a smile.
I was glad that joining Glee Club made him this happy; maybe I would be able to find more friends there as well. My eyes drifted back to Finn, he was staring at me. He continued staring as I stared at him. Then I finally looked away, and out of the corner of his eye I saw him look away as well.
Author's Note: I have an honest question, do you guys think that Rachel and Finn staring at each other so often is cute, creepy, or both? I am asking this, because looking back on the past chapters, I found that I make them stare at each other a lot, maybe too much. Give me an honest answer as a review, and I will dedicate the next chapter to the first review for this chapter!
