Once again, thank you so much for the lovely reviews:)

"Rachel?" Puck looked down at her. "Are you ok? You look like you're about to punch someone."

"Noah, will you be my duet partner?"

"Err…yeah, I mean, I thought you and Finn would have made up by now and you were going to go with him?"

"Well that's kind of what I thought too but it turns out he would rather go with someone much hotter than me." Rachel told Puck, raising her voice.

"Ok, Rachel, calm down. I think you need to go somewhere to cool down, let's go to the auditorium?" Puck suggested as he made his way to the empty room with Rachel following close behind.

"Ok Berry, what seems to be the problem?" Puck asked as he sat on the edge of the stage with his feet dangling below.

"It's complicated Noah."

"So?"

"Fine." Rachel sighed as she joined Puck. "Well Finn and I decided we should keep out distance from each other for a while, then in Glee, Finn looked at me after Mr Schue mentioned the word partners and I assumed that it meant he wanted to go with me but it turns out he didn't seen as he is now doing a duet with S-" Rachel paused, she couldn't even say her name. "Her."

"Who's her?"

"S-" Rachel sighed, as she knew she would have to say eventually the name. "Santana."

"Santana and Finn are doing a duet together?"

"Yes and I can't believe he would do that!"

"Wow, should have guessed it really."

"What?"

"You know how me and Santana have that kind of on and off relationship, if you can call it that, anyway last week Santana came round mine and she was pretty upset. Something about Quinn being head cheerleader and how bad she is at it, basically, I tried to comfort her but she thought I was trying to make her shut up so then we could have sex, which I wasn't trying to do honestly, and when I told her that I wasn't, she blew up in front of me saying she wanted a proper boyfriend and a proper relationship."

"'A proper relationship'?"

"Yeah. So I guess she's moving onto Finn now. I thought she would of gone with Mercedes but for some reason she's going with Lauren which took me by surprise because I didn't even know they knew each other and Brittany is going with Artie, so yeah I guess Finn is the only person left."

"Oh my gosh." Rachel's hand covered her mouth as her eyes widened.

"What?"

Rachel removed her hands as she explained. "Santana wants a 'real' relationship so she asked Finn because he's the only single guy who is on the football team, he has only had serious, long-term, relationships plus they have history, they slept together!"

"And…?" Puck asked still not getting what Rachel was talking about.

"Santana is trying to date Finn!"

"Hey RuPaul." Quinn greeted Rachel as she entered with Brittany by her side and Santana trailing behind.

"Hello Quinn." Rachel sighed at her old nickname, which she hadn't been called for a while.

The cheerleader scoffed at Rachel's response as she made her way to her chair at the back of the room, Brittany and Santana following.

"Oh no." Miss Hunt began as she rose from her desk after the class fell quiet. "You three are not sitting there." she addressed the three cheerleaders. "You're all failing so I'm separating you for the rest of the year. Brittany." Miss demanded as she pointed to a chair in the middle row. "Sit there and Santana here." Miss pointed to the chair left from Rachel, one row in front.

'Why would she be trying to get him now?' Rachel thought as Miss began to hand out paper. 'Why now? I mean, saying she wanted a 'real' relationship meant she must have been thinking about it for a while because you don't just say that, spur of the moment. So surely, if she had realized she wanted a 'proper' relationship then why didn't she ask him before? He was single all through the Christmas/new years period. Why didn't she do it then? Something isn't adding up. What is she playing at?'

After the lesson was over, Rachel was the first to shoot out of the class. She picked her equipment up and dashed out through the door to bump into Finn, who was standing outside the class.

"I'm sorr-" Rachel began but fell silent after noticing it wasn't just some random student which she had accidentally ran into. Rachel soon realized that Finn was standing by the wall of her classroom before moving in front of the door. His next lesson was gym, so why was he standing outside of and English room? Then it struck her. He was waiting for someone. And not just anyone but Santana. So now, he's waiting for her after her class? He had never done that for Rachel.

"Santana won't be out for a few minutes, the teacher wanted to talk to her." Rachel told Finn as she began to make her way to her next lesson but then stopped in her tracks as soon as Finn spoke.

"Puck?"

"Oh my gosh." Puck gasped at Mercedes. "Then what?"

"Well-"

"-I don't see what your problem is Finn?" Rachel asked her ex boyfriend as she entered glee club.

"Hmm I dunno…may the fact that you cheated on me with him?" Finn responded as he followed Rachel.

Rachel stopped in the centre of the room and faced Finn. "You're a fine one to talk."

"We weren't together at the time, you were dating Jesse remember?"

"You still lied to me Finn when we were dating. You lied about your vigi-"

Finn knew what Rachel's next word was and looked behind the brunette to see the rest of Glee club, including Brad the pianist, staring at them, listening to their conversation, to Rachel's next word.

"-Why don't we talk outside?" Finn suggested after focusing back on Rachel.

Rachel sighed as her hands rested on her hips. "Fine."

"Thank you." Finn spun on his heels and left the room into the empty corridor with Rachel following.

"We're outside now. Can I continue?" Rachel asked after closing the door.

"Yeah."

"Good. As I was saying, you didn't tell me that you had sex with her! All that time we were dating, you had me thinking you were still a virgin! How could you do that?"

"Oh please, you're the one who is doing a duet with Puck. Of all people."

"Yes after you accepted the offer from Santana. How could you do a duet with her? She's the one who started all this, she's the reason why we are not together."

"No actually, your partner is the reason why we aren't together anymore. We never broke up after you found out about Santana and we were about to patch things up until you told me about Puck. So actually, I should be asking you the question: 'How could you do a duet with him?'"

"Finn…you…" Rachel struggled for words before sighing in defeat.

"Look, I don't understand why you're so pissed about this; it was your idea to keep a distance from each other?"

"What?"

"Well you said we should have some time apart and that's what I'm doing. Keeping my distance from you, plus, you know Santana isn't the mean bitch you think she is. She's actually a nice person."

"Nice? Please the word to describe Santana Lopez is definitely not nice."

"Hey, you don't know her, anyway it's not like your partner is peachy perfect. He's a womanizer and you're probably just another girl for him."

"I could say the same thing."

"Look, we could do this for hours, picking faults with the person we're doing a duet with. If it's going to bother us so much, maybe we shouldn't go with Puck and Santana."

"Then who would we go with?"

Just as Finn opened his mouth to reply, the brown door leading to the room they just left, slowly opened with Mr Schue sticking his head out of the gap between the door and the wooden frame.

"Guys, Glee club is about to start, you better come in."

Another day had come and gone. That was how Finn thought of the day he had just had. The only thing he still had to get through was football practice. After that, he was a free man, well until the next day where he would have to the same thing again. Just football now. Finn frowned at the thought of waiting for football to be over and done with. Finn loved football. Now he can't wait for it to be over? That wasn't Finn. The only thing that Finn was good at, that he enjoyed so much as well as Glee of course. So why doesn't he feel that way about football anymore? It wasn't just football. He hated school all together now because of Rachel. Was that it? Rachel. Was Rachel making practice miserable for him now? Finn shook his head at the thought of Rachel and got changed into his kit.

"So I was thinking we would-" Finn stopped mid-sentence at the view of Rachel.

"Finn?" the person Finn was talking to waved his hand in front of his face, trying to get his attention but he had focused it all on someone else.

The corners of Finn's mouth began to flicker but stopped dead after witnessing Puck walked up to Rachel. At that moment, Finn's fists clenched, his body tightened before he realized that Rachel wasn't his girlfriend. She could flirt with other guys, date ot- even the thought of Rachel flirting yet alone dating disturbed Finn but he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't play the protective boyfriend anymore. He wasn't the boyfriend. He was hardly the friend to her.

"Hey Baaabraaa!" Dave called Rachel making sheep noises. "Go back to your motherland."

Rachel ignored him as she walked to the middle of the field, where coach was calling everyone in.

"Right come on, hurry up I don't have all day ladies." Beiste informed the rest of the football team as she quickly gazed at her clipboard. "Right is everyone in? Hey, Dave you only just got on this football team, I have the power to cut you from it. Do you want me to do that?" Coach asked the jock after noticing him making sheep noises with Azimio.

"No coach." Dave responded in a flat tone.

"Then shut the hell up. You know I noticed how all of you treat the girls. Just because they are from Glee club. I jus- no, you know what. I have an idea that will make you all understand just what Glee does."

The rest of the team looked uneasy, a few looked at each other in confusion while others raised their eyebrows at coach Beiste, not understanding fully what she was saying.

"You're all joining Glee club and don't even think about refusing because you will be cut. Alright let's get to work." Coach smiled at the team after dropping that little bomb on them.

"No way am I joining that club. I'd rather get punched." Dave told the rest of the group after coach had walked off.

"Well then you're gonna get kicked off the team then aren't you?" Azimio warned him.

"…I just don't see…"

Finn looked up to see Rachel with a worried facial expression as she and Puck were talking. It was something about that expression Rachel had on her face that concerned Finn. He hated it when he didn't see Rachel happy, when there wasn't a great big smile plastered on her face. When she used to be upset, Finn would just take her in his arms, hold her tight and give her a kiss on the forehead to give her reassurance that Finn was still there. He was still there. No, Finn isn't with Rachel anymore so he can't just walk over and kiss her. He can't hold her in his arms and he can whisper the three words he loved to tell her. No. They weren't together anymore.

However, there was always something about a girl in uniform that Finn liked.

R-r-review:) Longer chapter because I wanted to fit more in before Sunday. I'm going to update again on Saturday/Sunday. I'm not sure yet. Questions, suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome.
