Okay. Here is the 8th Chapter. This is set in Bad Reputations so is skipping a few episodes. Some things are different to the actual programme. Finchel haven't broken up yet. Finn never slept with Santana and is still a virgin. Quinn and Puck are living together and Carole and Burt are only getting to know each other. Warning: Rachel's dark side is revealed in this episode and there is some St Berry in the episode. However, this will only be temporary for all of you Finchel fans. After all IMO St Berry was a terrible relationship. They were too similar and the saying is that opposites attract and similarities clash. I think I hated it more because of how little Jesse was in Season 6 and Rachel was with Sam and then she ended up with Jesse. But Glee wasn't really Glee by that point IMO. Anyway mini rant over. Enjoy.
Chapter 8: The Glist.
Finn's POV
So much can change in a week. Last week, I thought I was about to become a father but instead found out that it was in fact it was Puck. I was stupid, how can I get a girl pregnant when I haven't even had sex with anyone. My mom has been on a couple of dates with Burt, Kurt's dad who is also widowed. I'm happy that she has found love again. Now I'm dating Rachel who makes me feel whole. I felt that I had someone who understands me for who I am.
She texts me to meet her at the locker before heading to Glee Club, I head to the lockers and the sight shocks me.
Jesse is kissing Rachel by his locker. She seems to be enjoying it. I just get my music and run into the bathroom to calm myself down. I just get my phone out and send an angry text message to her.
Finn: 'We need a break. What were you doing with him?'
Rachel: 'Finn please it wasn't what it looked likeā¦"
Finn: 'Well, it looked like you were kissing Jesse. And you didn't seem to pull away.'
Rachel: 'It was a mistake. He kissed me and I was surprised that I couldn't pull away straight away.'
Finn: 'How could you do that to me? You know that my heart and mind isn't in the right place but I am struggling to trust you now that you have kissed me. But I need my time on my own right now. (Hangs up)'
Rachel: 'Finn, please listen to me (Phone line dies)'
I have calmed down. I feel very confused and heartbroken. Now within five days, I have had my heart broken twice by two girls who have cheated on me with two people that I introduced them too. One physically and emotionally and the other emotionally. My life sucks right now.
Rachel's POV
I'm an idiot. I am such an idiot. I just had to go and kiss Jesse and ruin my relationship with Finn. I'm lucky that he just wants to take a break with me. He could have just left me and forgot me without a trace. I know that I'm going to have to try and get him back eventually but I need to give him space right now.
I walk over to my locker and see something posted on the front of it. Typed up and put on the front of my locker. I look up and I read it.
The Glist.
"Who's Hot- Who's Not."
Quinn +45
Santana +43
Puck +38
Brittany +35
Jesse +29
Finn +19
Mike +11
Matt +5
Rachel -5
I rip it down in anger. Who made this? Then I see many other copies around the hallway. This makes me feel mad and angry. Okay, first I cheated on Finn when I made out with Jesse and now I'm not considered hot. Well fine by me whichever loser wrote this on my locker. Been a crappy day so far.
I come into Glee club and sit at the top of the stand. I know I broke Finn's heart so when he comes in, he doesn't even acknowledge me as he sits on the seat next to his drums. Mr Schue walks in with a copy of the Glist.
Mr Schue: "Who wrote this? Stand up if you admit this!"
Everyone remains quiet.
Mr Schue: "Okay. Everyone come to my office one by one. Since Rachel you are at the bottom of the list, you come to my office first."
Rachel: "Fine."
At Mr Schue's Office.
Mr Schue: "Look, I want to know about the Glist. Did you write it? Why was it on your locker? If it wasn't you, who was it? If I don't find out who did it, the entire Glee Club is going down."
Rachel: "I didn't make the Glist. I just saw it on my locker and ripped it down. I wouldn't have done it if I was trying to frame someone. I have no idea who did it."
Mr Schue: "The pieces fit together with you Rachel. You said that Quinn was prettier than you. You don't get on with the Cheerio's; telling by Finn's body language tells me that you broke his heart. You dated Puck beforehand and there is only Mike and Matt of the people who supported you. Who is to say that you were trying to frame someone?"
Rachel: "If I was, why would I give myself a minus score? It wasn't me who created the Glist."
Mr Schue: "Alright get out."
No One's POV.
Finn is the next to be called into Mr Schue's office. He seems nervous.
Mr Schue: "Look, I don't like doing this any more than you do. But if I don't find who wrote the Glist and stop another being published, the whole Glee Club's going down."
Finn: "Look, I know I have been mad lately and kicking over chairs and stuff but I didn't do it."
Mr Schue: "All the pieces fit Finn. You have a major axe to grind with several of the people of that Glist. Quinn and Rachel both broke your heart, Puck betrayed your friendship. Kurt's dad is dating your mum according to him and you haven't always seen eye to eye with Santana and Brittany."
Mercedes was next.
Mercedes: "I have nothing wrong with Santana and I like Brittany. Quinn and Rachel both have beef with them."
Mr Schue: "Well, there are several Cheerio's on that list, some say that you still seem an outsider in that group."
Mercedes: "I don't care what everyone says, I like being a Cheerio, and why does everyone think that I am angry all the time. It is called being sassy Mr Schue."
Mike followed in next.
Mike: "I was late getting in today so it couldn't have been me if it was written before school when it was. I wouldn't betray the team before a big competition like Regionals. It destroys team spirit."
Matt went next.
Matt: "Mr Schue, I saw Santana holding copies this morning before class."
Santana went in next to defend herself.
Santana: "I was taking them down and throwing them in the bin. I enjoy being in Glee Club. Rachel would have written them to frame the Cheerio's."
Artie rolled in next.
Artie: "It is simple maths Mr Schue. The poster was put at a height of 5 and a half feet, comfortably out of my reach. And I have it on good word that Puck put it up."
That good word came from Tina.
Tina: "I saw Puck putting it up in the hallway."
Puck defended himself.
Puck: "I was moving it. Someone had put on Rachel's locker so I moved it. I was a man doing the right thing."
Mr Schue: "Puck at some point the lies are going to stop and I am going to get answers. Rachel tore down the one on her locker."
Puck: "If I had done it why would I put myself at number 3? As far as bad asses go, I'm number waaah(one). I'll say it again, I didn't do it."
Brittany was straight to the point.
Brittany: "I don't know how to turn on a computer."
Jesse was equally straight to the point.
Jesse: "I don't know where the computer room is. So how could I have made it?"
Mr Schue: "Fair Point."
Quinn was more nervous and accusing.
Quinn: "Rachel did it. First I stole the guy she is in love with. Then I stole the man she dated to get over the guy she's in love with and I'm kind of a bitch to her."
Mr Schue: "Doesn't seem like Rachel though."
Quinn: "She has gone behind your back before. And who is to say there is only one culprit?"
Mr Schue: "(Slams the table) Look, I know you know something so I will wait until we get some answers."
Quinn: "I didn't do it."
Kurt was last.
Kurt: "Mr Schuester, may I be blunt?"
Mr Schue: "Shoot."
Kurt: "Ever since, you separated from your wife, you have been spending many late nights watching Law and Order haven't you? (Looks up) Though so, and no I didn't make the Glist. My suspicions are that it was either Rachel or Quinn."
Mr Schue: "Right. Okay."
Rachel's POV.
I go and meet Jesse after he was interrogated by Mr Schue. I feel a connection with Jesse that I used to have with Finn. He is into musicals and Broadway as to I. I remember Miss Pillsbury telling me that common interests are the key to romance. I wonder if he is willing to get together.
Rachel: "Hey Jesse."
Jesse: "Rachel? Hello, why aren't you with your boyfriend?"
Rachel: "He dumped me. He caught us kissing but Jesse, I need to tell you something."
Jesse: "What is it?"
Rachel: "I was wondering if you want to go out with me?"
Jesse: "Who wouldn't want to go out with a girl like you? I will. (Kisses her)"
Rachel: (Kisses back)
Now, my heart is mended, I can move forward. I look over and see Finn at the bottom of the hallway. He looks mad but I can't do this to him yet. He needs to give his heart a break. I don't deserve him at the moment and I do have feelings for Jesse right now.
Mr Schue's POV
Well, what a waste of time that was. All 13 members deny that they had anything to do with the Glist. Well one of them had to because the computer that it was on had the password Glee Club in there which means that it had to be one of them that did the Glist. I will find them out.
Anyway, I go into the class that afternoon, and ask the group to come up with a music video in order to try and increase the Glee Club's popularity. It needed to be a funny video.
Mr Schue: "Guys, do you have any suggestions for what music video we could do?"
Rachel puts her hand up.
Rachel: "Let's do David Geddes terrible 1970's song Run Joey Run."
Jesse: "Sure."
Mr Schue: "We will need two angels. One to play Julie, another to play Joey and one to play Julie's dad."
Everyone leaves except Rachel.
Rachel: "I play Julie."
Mr Schue: "Cool. That will be a start."
Puck's POV.
God, my life sucks right now. Having to look after a teenage pregnant girl and then lost my best friend because he was lied to about the child. I need to re-build my reputation. I hear my phone vibrate and it is a text from Rachel, we exchanged numbers when we briefly dated.
It reads Do you want to come over this evening?
I reply Sure, about 6?
She agrees. I head home to do some work and then head over about 5:30. She is on her own.
We begin talking about random things and then she talks about Mr Schue's suggestion.
Rachel: "You know when we dated that people had a name for us? Puckleberry."
Puck: "You want to date again?"
Rachel: "I'm dating Jesse. But I am asking that you play Joey in the video. It could help rebuild your reputation. I will play the tragic Julie who is killed in the end."
Puck: "Do I get to kill you?"
Rachel: "My dad shoots me with a shotgun. But it makes you seem like the sexy hunky Jew that you are and that your reputation deserves."
Puck; "Do you think I made that Glist?"
Rachel: "Well it is something that you would do."
Puck: "Well I didn't, I am just tired on people judging me. But I have no idea who made that."
Rachel: "Well it wasn't me either. Everyone else doesn't trust me either."
Puck: "Probably because we both betrayed Finn. Yes, he isn't smart but he does have his strengths and he is popular in this town. Talent scouts were at our last game and he might get signed up after we graduate."
Rachel: "I think they see me as someone who could have framed someone with the Glist. Still a -5 is a bit harsh."
Puck: "(Smiles) I know, you are my hot Jewish American Princess."
Rachel: "(Smiles) Thanks Noah."
Puck: "It is Puck."
Reviews and feedback are appreciated as always. Next time we will see who made the Glist and Finn, Puck and Jesse's reaction to the video.
