:O I have not UD in a long time.

I know I wrote Jesse as Jessie on the other chapters but from now on it's Jesse :) I'll change the others after this is up.

Thank you for the reviews, favourites, and alerts you lovely people. :)

Next day for Rachel couldn't have gone any better. She didn't get slushied, no-one yet had picked on her, no-one had taunted her about her clothes. She entered school expecting her first slushie of the day only to have no cold beverage dripping down her clothes. What gives? She made her locker, dry, and wondered why everyone was just walking by, not one staring at her outfit. Something has changed. People just ignored her. Now something definitely is up. Crazy at it seems Rachel missed the old, hate on Rachel attitude they used to have on her. As Rachel made to her first lesson, still bone dry, she was stopped by Finn as he stepped in front of her. Hands in his pocket and hunched over.

"Hey Rachel." he smiled at her.

"Hello Finn." Rachel returned his smile.

"How are you?" Finn asked as he shuffled his feet.

"Fine, just in a bit of a rush, you know." Rachel shrugged. "For lesson." she added.

"Oh. I guess you want to go then?" he asked while taking his hands out of his pockets and used one to rub the back of his neck.

Rachel let out a nervous laugh as she placed one hand on Finn's shoulder. "If you'll let me?"

Finn looked at her confused. Why would she say that? He wasn't holding her back. Was he? "Huh?"

"Doesn't matter." and with she left Finn alone feeling confused as to the conversation he just had with Rachel.

Finn was still dumb-struck. He started to think about what Rachel had said to him. 'I still don't know what she meant by 'If you'll let me go?'. Was she suggesting that I was holding her back? Back from her lesson or her life? Whoa. Where did that come from? A bit deep for me. Huh? Ok I'm confused. I only came up to her to talk about yesterday and now I'm thinking about holding back in her life. How did I get from there to here? Ok I'm officially freaked out.' Finn shoved both his hands deep into his pocket as he walked off to his lesson, all the time thinking about Rachel.

"Hey Rachel." a voice called from behind the brunette as she was packing her pencils and pens from her desk.

She turned around, carrying her red pencil case, to see Jesse smiling down at her. She, in shock, dropped her un-zipped pencil case on the floor causing it to empty its content all over the floor. Rachel didn't even realise she had dropped it until she saw Jesse's eyes drop from her to her pencil case on the floor, with one eyebrow raised. Rachel dropped to the floor picking up her empty pencil case and what used to be contained in it, quickly feeling very embarrassed. She felt sudden warmth to her body as she saw Jesse crouching in front of her, helping her pick up her writing equipment.

"J-Jesse? What a-are you doing here?" she asked.

"Well I live here, Rachel." he joked while smiling at her.

"Yes I know that." she said. Rachel looked up at him who was smiling a her sweetly. She sat up and faced him properly. "I mean that you aren't supposed to arrive until tomorrow weren't you?"

Jesse stopped picking up Rachel's stationary and looked up at her, staring into her eyes intently. "I came back early. I wanted to come back."

"Why?"

"Because I-"

"Come on Rachel, Jesse. I need to lock this room up. Hurry up." Mrs Smith was telling them as she approached the couple who were on the floor. "What are you doing there?" when she finally reached the pair she saw Rachel's pens and pencils all over the place. Mrs Smith let out an impatient sigh as she put one hand on her hip. "Hurry up." and with that she walked towards the desk.

"I think we better hurry up." Rachel told Jesse as she quickly stuffed everything into her pencil case and shoved it into her bag. "Let's go." Rachel and Jesse both got up and walked out of the classroom, they both decided to go to their practice room seen as the canteen, there was a huge mob currently swarming in there.

"So Jesse when did you want that coffee?" Rachel asked as she placed her bag on the floor beside her as she as on the piano stool.

"Oh. Ermm." Jesse was taken back from how forward Rachel was with her question. "After school?" Jesse suggested.

"Yep sounds good. I'm pretty sure I have nothing on my schedule for today."

"Splendid." Jesse said in a British accent.

Rachel laughed so hard, at how bad Jesse's accent was, she let slip a snort which Jesse picked up and laughed back. "You really can't do that accent." after she stopped laughing she saw that Jesse was no longer on the opposite side of the room but now sitting right next to her on the small piano stool. Staring at her.

"What?" Jesse asked as he saw Rachel go white as a sheet. "Rachel? Are you ok?" he asked with concern in his voice. Rachel wasn't answering Jesse's questions she just stared at him thinking about how close he was. Thinking about how she could smell Jesse's minty breath as he exhaled. Thinking how she was this close with Finn too. Thinking about how it was so easy for her to get lost in her thoughts of kissing Finn, but now she is getting lost in thoughts of kissing Jesse. How her plan is clearly deteriorating in front of her eyes. How she needs to enforce her plan now.

"Nothing." she managed to say after thinking about how her plan comes first.

"Ok?" he raised one eyebrow.

"Ok." Rachel quickly replied then shuffled off the stool and quickly grabbed her bag. "Bye Jesse.2 she waved as she left the room. What was she doing? She needs to focus. Destiny didn't want her to have all three. No. Only one. So the plan has to go to the letter, no distractions, no closeness with any of them. No thinking of kissing them. None what's so ever.

After Rachel's little pep talk to herself, she went to her lessons, banning herself from thinking about a certain three boys. Not thinking about them was quite easy surprisingly. Any time her mind would drift, she simply made herself think about her future, how she would become a huge Broadway star. Which would make her wonder on to other things like where she would live, what her house would be like e.t.c. Thinking about her future, Rachel found it a very useful method because she could go on for days thinking about the years to come, to even think about the boys. At the end of the lesson, for a split second, she didn't even know who the boys were and why she banned herself from thinking about them, she was that absorbed in her own little fantasy. That was until reality caught up with her. Rachel rushed towards her lockers and quickly put in her maths book in in exchange for taking her english book out.

"Hey." Finn said after popping out of nowhere and surprising Rachel.

"Ahh!" Rachel gasped causing her maths book, which she hadn't put away properly, to fall out of her locker. "Oh. Finn. Don't do that." she jokingly hit his shoulder. Bad mistake. She needs to stop flirting with them!

"Sorry." Finn smiled at her thinking how weak she as compared to him.

"Yeah well you should be." Rachel replied while slamming her locker shut. "Did you want something?"

"Oh. Ermm no." yes. He wanted to talk about their 'conversation' they had last night.

"Ok then." Rachel smiled at Finn, who was giving his signature lop-sided grin. Rachel walked past Finn and went to her last lesson of the day, which was such a relief to her. She can finally go home and relax. Wait. She agreed to go for coffee with Jesse. Coffee doesn't count as pushing the boundaries. Does it?

Finn watched as he saw Rachel leave, tilting his head to the side, smiling to himself. When the bell rang for next lesson, Finn mentally shook himself from the state he was under from looking at her. He turned on his heels and walled off only to be stopped by something that was on the floor. Rachel's maths book.

As Rachel arrived home she was met by her two dads who had just come back from the shop, they had a DVD for their movie night which tonight would be 27 Dresses, and asked her how her day was. She replied with the usual 'It was fine.' Jesse rang Rachel later saying he would have to cancel their coffee date, it wasn't a date more like a meeting, saying that something important just came up. It was 6:30pm, time for them to watch their film, and the family decided that tonight they would get a take-away to eat for their movie night.

"Rachel could you be a dear and run along to get us a Chinese? Please?" one of her dads asked her from the kitchen.

"Ok." Rachel simply replied while getting her coat on and slipping out of the front door.

-Glee-

While Rachel was getting the dinner, Jesse decided he would stop by and apologise to cancelling on her. He felt bad for doing that and he wanted to make sure that Rachel knew that if it was up to him he would have made it. Of course he couldn't. He arrived at the Berry's house hold and knocked on their door.

"Yes?" Mr Berry asked as he opened the door slightly.

"Hello Mr Berry. I'm Jesse St. James. I'm Rachel's boy-" Was he her boyfriend? She didn't really act like it. She was all distant on him plus does her fathers know she is dating?. She did mention once how strict her fathers were about her dating. "Rachel's friends." he corrected himself. Just go with friends at the moment.

"Oh well hello. Come in, come in." Mr Berry replied as he widened the door big enough for Jesse to get through. "Now I'm sorry but Rachel isn't here at the moment, but your more as welcome to wait here until she comes back. You could wait in her room if it's more private?"

"Thank you Mr Berry. I thin I'll go up to her room. It is somewhat private. If you don't mind?"

"No, no. Not at all."

"Oh ok. Good." and with that Jesse took the stairs to Rachel's room, which wasn't hard to find, the pink from her room was glowing from behind the door practically and there was a gold star on the front of her door. Typical Rachel.

-Glee-

After Finn had, had his dinner, went upstairs to watch a bit of TV, which was fine, if he didn't have to watch weird foreign ones. His satellite box was taken off him and the only channels he had on his TV was some from other countries because the TV wasn't from America. How he was getting these channels was a shock to Finn, but he was getting them. So he decided to turn the TV off. It's only cooking channels. Finn was so bored that he actually emptied out his school bag. As he was doing so he found Rachel's maths book in there. Rachel's book. She must be going mad trying to find this. Finn quickly put on his Letterman jacket on, some jeans that came out the was yesterday, slipped on some shoes and drove to Rachel's house.

-Glee-

"That's $15.50 then please?" the shopkeeper asked Rachel.

"Certainly." she replied while getting out her purse.

-Glee-

Finn was knocking on the Berry's door in no time, the other dad answered the door, he didn't know that Jesse was in their house, and welcomed Finn in. he had seen Finn before and sent him to Rachel's room and wait for her. As Finn opened the door, Jesse straightened himself up and stood up from sitting on her bed. He quickly ran his hand through his hair and was expecting to see a small brown-haired girl to walk through the door. Only it wasn't a small brown-haired girl. It was a tall, still brown-haired, boy who entered, with a confused face as his eyes met with Jesse's.

"Jesse? What are you doing here?" Finn asked as he made his way through the room towards Jesse.

"Me? I could ask you the same question Finn, and I will. What are you doing here?"

"I need to give something to Rachel. You?"

"I need to tell her something."

"Oh."

"Yes."

"So…" Finn was looking down at his feet while he moved them. "What should we do?"

"What?"

"Well I mean are we going to sit in complete silence till Rachel gets here or…"

Finn didn't finish his sentence because they was aloud rustling from her balcony. Finn carefully walked towards the noise, thinking it was someone who wanted to rob them, only to find it was Puck, climbing the vines outside her bedroom. He still remembered the vines and which one was Rachel's room from only being in her room twice.

"Puck?" Finn was completely shocked s he saw the jock jumping over the wall of her balcony and was now walking over towards him. "What are you doing here?"

"Huh? I was wondering whether Rachel wanted to sneak out but you guys aren't Rachel. Where is sh- wait why are you two here?" he asked after noticing Jesse was present in the room as well.

"Well I need to tell Rachel something and Finn here wants to give her something." Jesse answered while getting off the bed and joining the two jocks.

"Oh. So should we stay and sit in silence?" Puck asked.

"That's what I said." Finn pointed out.

"I think we should sit in silence. We might turn on each other if we start talking."

"I guess." Finn agreed. Puck and Jesse moved from the little circle they had created and sat in different corners of the room. Jesse went back and resumed sitting on Rachel's bed. Puck went to her pink chair, that was place opposite the bed, and slumped into it. Finn was still standing. Taking in the whole room. How pink it was then before he was last in here. When she dressed in that cat suit. How, like he put it, looked like a sad clown hooker. Rachel looked good in what she wore. That made Rachel, Rachel. Simple. Finn was getting pretty tried of standing, so he walked over to her chair near her desk, as he was approaching the white desk he saw that in the bin, underneath it, there was a scrunched up piece of paper with his name on it. Without even thinking, he automatically grabbed the white sheet out of the bin and unfolded it.

"What are you doing?" Jesse asked as he saw Finn go into her bin and grab something out.

Finn turned his face away from the A4 paper to Jesse, at the sound of his voice. "What?"

"You just grabbed that out of the bin dude." Puck joined in.

Finn spun his head to Puck, feeling like this was how he was yesterday, switching between Finn and Kurt. "It has my name on it."

"And…? That doesn't justify you to go snooping around her room. Does it?" Jesse chimed.

"Yeah." Puck nodded in agreement.

"But…Ahh whatever. It has my name on it. I think that allows me to look. It's about me after all."

"I don't think that it allows you to do anything Finn." Jesse said.

"Whatever, Jesse." Finn rolled his eyes then turned to the paper reading it. "Wait. It has both of your names in it as well."

"What?" Puck asked.

"Well it has all three of our names on it."

"It does." Jesse asked getting more curious. He got up and moving towards him.

Following Jesse, Puck also rose from his chair moving closer to Finn to read what was written on there. The three of them standing in the middle of the room all hunched over, reading something about them.

"Dad? Dad? I'm home." Rachel called, while opening the front door. "Why is there a car parked outside?" Rachel was asking as she walked into the kitchen to see one of her dads. "Dad?"

Her father turned at the sound of her voice and smiled. He took the take-away from Rachel and sat it down on the counter. "One of your friends is over. They wanted to see you." He replied with his back against his daughter, grabbing plates.

"Huh?" Friend? She has no friends. "Who?"

"Jesse something."

"Jesse? Where is he?" she asked while canning the kitchen and front room.

"He's upstairs in your room. I told him to go there."

"Oh."

"Well don't be late for the film." he reminded her as he walked past her, with two plates of Chinese take-away, going into the front room.

"Ermm…start it without me. I've already seen it anyway." Rachel told her dad as she made her way towards the stairs. Why was Jesse here? Didn't he cancel on her? What happened to the important thing that just came up? Was it a lie? Did it just end early? Rachel finally reached her bedroom, she opened it slightly to see Jesse. He was here. She fully opened the door to talk to him when she saw that he wasn't the only one there. Finn and Puck where there with Jesse reading something, out loud. Something quite familiar.

"Which one? Which one do I pick?" Finn read.

They looked up as they realised that the door was open to see Rachel standing there.

Gob smacked.
