Thank you so much for your comments:) You guys are AWESOME:D
Tazziemae: Thank you:) Well I'm updating now;)
Imagleek1234: It could be Quinn, Santana or Rachel now that she has a football uniform, just have to wait and see…
Just to let you know that this will be a longer chapter because the next one will be about the valentine ep.
"So?" Rachel asked her ex boyfriends as she sneaked up on him in the food line at break the next day. "Are you going to answer my question?"
Finn turned around at the sound of her voice, to see a small brunette girl craning her neck upwards to face him. "Huh? What?"
"My question? The one I asked before we were forced to go back into Glee club, yesterday?"
"Huh?" Finn asked again not quite getting what Rachel was saying. "Before we were forced to Glee club?" Then it clicked in his head. When they were talking in the corridor because Rachel was about to say virginity in front of everybody. It was all coming back to Finn now. Except Rachel's question. What was it again? It was on the tip of Finn's tongue. He just couldn't remember what it was. "Wha-" No, he couldn't ask Rachel what her question was. She would know that Finn wasn't really paying attention and then she would go off on a tangent about how every boy she knows does the same thing and that would eventually lead to how her mother abandoned her twice in some weird way. He never really listened to when Rachel would ramble on because it always ended on her mother. He didn't have the energy to pretend to listen to her anymore, especially when they are in a line in front of other students. Finn didn't like people having a go at him in public. In private ok, but not when the rest of the school would listen to them. But what can he say? If he's not going to ask her what her question was then he has to answer, he can't change the topic. He's just going to have to wing it.
"My answer is yes." Finn smiled at Rachel hoping that it was the right answer but when Rachel failed to return his smile and frowned instead, he realized that yes was definitely not the right answer. "I mean no." Finn weakly chuckled but stopped when he saw Rachel's bottom lip tremble slightly. Yes and no didn't work, so is the answer maybe?
"What? Finn you said we shouldn't partner up with Puck and Santana for our duets assignment and I asked you who would we go with then?"
Ahh, that was the question.
"Were you not listening to me?" Rachel asked as her eyes began to water ever so slightly. "I can't believe this, why is it that ev…"
Finn sighed deeply. Here we go again.
"Mr Schue?" Finn called for his Spanish teacher. "Are you here?"
"Ahh Finn, what can I do for you?" Mr Schue asked as he popped up from behind a door.
"Yeah, it's about our duet assignment in Glee."
"Ahh, yes what about it Finn?"
"Well I was wondering whether you could cancel it."
"I'm not sure whether I follow you." Mr Schue raised his eyebrow at Finn.
"Well, I was wondering whether you could scrap the whole idea of duets?"
"Oh, I thought you liked doing duets?"
"I do. Just not this time."
"Can I ask why?"
"It's really complicated Mr Schue."
"Oh."
"So are you stopping it?"
"Yeah."
"Thanks." Finn smiled at his teacher before leaving the classroom with a small smile planted on his face.
Next stop: Rachel.
"So you left?" Rachel asked Puck as she opened her locker door. "Just like that?"
"Yeah." Puck shrugged his shoulders as he casually leaned against the locker next to Rachel's. "She was pretty weird anyway."
"Wow, I could never just-"
"-Rachel." Finn interrupted his ex girlfriend in mid-sentence. "Can-" Finn fell silent at the sight of Noah Puckerman, leaning against a locker with his hands in his pockets, listening to him. "Can I talk to you privately?"
"Do you really have to?" Rachel asked as she exchanged her English book for her Maths.
"Yeah."
"Alright it get it." Puck began as he stood up straight. "I'll go. See you later Rach."
"Bye Noah." Rachel waved Puck off as he disappeared into the crowd in the corridor.
"Rach?" Finn began as he turned back towards Rachel. "He calls you Rach?"
"Yes and your problem is?"
"Nothing." Finn lied. "Nothing at all."
"Good, now what did you want to talk to me about?"
"It's about the duets assignment. I made Mr Schue drop it. Were not doing duets now."
"Oh."
"Yeah, so I'm not going with Santana anymore so you don't have to sing with Puck. It's all-"
"I'm still singing with Noah." Rachel told Finn as she closed her locker.
"W-what? But I-I got Mr Schue to-"
"I'm still going to sing with Noah because me and him have grown quite close, plus we came up with a great song choice that we are both dying to perform in front of the rest of Glee. I told Mr Schue that we were doing a great song and I won't go back on my word."
"Wait you have grown close?"
"Yes."
"A-are you dating h-him?"
"No Finn, not every friendship I have with a boy has to blossom into something more."
"Oh I just thought be-"
"Then you thought wrong. Now if you don't mind I would like to tell Mr Schuester that me and Noah are still doing a duet before my Maths lesson starts." Rachel told Finn before walking away from him, leaving him alone.
As Glee club started, Rachel wasn't the only one who wasn't happy with the new recruits as they trudged through the door. There they were. Wearing their red varsity jackets as they unwillingly dragged their bodies to a seat. Rachel, along with the other existing Glee clubbers, frowned as the football team filled the vacant spaces.
"I thought coach was only joking about this?" Mercedes asked Tina as the last jock sat down.
"I heard that she changed her mind after and told them not to, for the safety of Glee club."
"Then you heard wrong." Coach Beiste informed Tina as she strolled into the room with a clipboard in her left hand. "The football team is going to join Glee club."
"This is so stupid." Dave muttered after taking a sip from his Big Quench cup.
"All of you are going to be in this Glee club for one week. No exceptions."
"She's bluffing. Next week is the championship game without us she has no team." Dave told the other jocks.
"With you I have no team. You guys have gotta find a way to come together or were gonna get our asses kicked from here until tuesday if we find a saddle bag full of buckwheat."
"What has it got to with buckwheat?" Lauren asked Puck.
"Coach, we should be on the field practicing for the game not sitting in here listening to some losers singing about their feelings and being different."
"Karofsky, I'm serious one more word and you will be C-U-T. Ok?"
Dave sighed as he took yet another sip from his cup.
"Hey I'm not singing now show tunes, that is the music of my oppressors." Azimio plainly stated as he looked at Rachel.
"Do you even have any idea what we do in here?" Finn asked with confusion, plus a little hint of disgust, in his voice.
"No." Mr Schue and Coach Beiste shook their heads. "None of them do. We have to show them. Rachel, Puck haven't you guys been working on something? Why don't you give it a whorl?"
Rachel sighed as she rose from her seat. "Fine, as offended as I am by their presence here, I won't let anything get in the way of a performance." just before she walked over to the centre of the room, she shot Azimio a look back.
Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause
I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I
Ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone
And I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
But I've lost all control
And I need you now
And I don't know how
I can do without
I just need you now
Whoa, whoa
Guess I'd rather hurt
Than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone
And I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call
But I'm a little drunk
And I need you now
And I don't know how
I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh baby, I need you now.
"Wow, that was awesome you guys." Mr Schue clapped his hands, along with the rest of the group except the football team and Finn, at the two students as they returned to their seats. "Now do you guys get what we do here in Glee club?"
"Yeah." Azimio replied in a flat tone. "And it sucks." he smiled at his comment with the rest of the team as Mr Schue frowned and Coach Beiste narrowed her eyes.
"Azimio, 150 laps. GO!" Coach called out as she walked up to the jock and looked him dead in the eyes.
"Mr Schue?" Finn raised one hand in the air as he spoke. "I have a song."
"Yes, of course, come down." Mr Schue waved his hand in a gesture for Finn to come towards him. "Go for it." Mr Schuester told Finn as he patted him on the back."
"Ermm…ok."
Well no one told me about her, the way she lied
Well no one told me about her, how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
Well no one told me about her, what could I do
Well no one told me about her, though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
Rachel looked uneasy as she shifted in her seat a little at the end while the rest of the club applauded Finn after his last note.
"That was great Finn. You could tell that the song was really personal to you. Well done."
"Thanks Mr Schue."
As Glee ended and the football team along with the other Glee club members had rushed out of the door, only Finn, Rachel and Puck were left in the room. Finn quickly grabbed his bag hoping that he or Rachel and Puck could leave before the other so that he wouldn't have to hear their conversation.
"So on Friday?" Puck asked Rachel as he flashed her a smile.
"Sure. I'll be there."
"Great. See ya later Rach." and with that Puck left Rachel with Finn again.
Both Rachel and Finn could obviously feel the tension between the two as they packed their bags in silence.
Until Rachel felt, she had to ask Finn about his song choice.
"The song you sang was really good." Rachel told Finn as they both had their faces turned away from each other.
"Thanks. Yours was good too."
"Thank you. Of course yours was more obvious to the message you were trying to get across."
"Huh?" Finn spun around to face Rachel's back. "What do you mean message?"
"Well." Rachel started as she too turned around to face him. "You were obviously singing about me."
"What? Well what about you and Puck singing a song about needing each other? You were practically drooling over him how can you say you're not dating him? I-"
"-Finn!" Rachel half cried his name as she stopped him from finishing his sentence. "I was not drooling over him. I am not dating Noah. I told you that I wasn't dating him Finn. How can you even ask that?"
"Well you two seemed to be giving each other the eye. Even the way you were looking at him, singing to him that you needed him. Gee I wonder how I could think there was more than just friendship between you two?" Finn asked sarcastically.
"I wasn't singing that song to Noah."
"So who were yo- Oh."
"Yes. I know it didn't seem to be so obvious but it wasn't for Noah."
"I-I'm sorry Rach."
"It's ok. Finn you have to trust me, I'm not dating Noah. He l-"
"-I know. You two aren't dating. I just got carried away."
"Thank you Finn. I wouldn't date Noah anyway; he doesn't hold a candle to my last boyfriend." Rachel smiled at Finn as a single tear began to roll down her cheek and as soon as Finn saw the tear leave her eye, he walked up to her and place his hand on her cheek as he wiped it away with the pad of his thumb.
"I know he doesn't." Finn joked as Rachel let a tiny giggle pass her lips.
The same lips that Finn kissed.
"Right, I cannot stress anymore how important it is for you to concentrate now. This is it guys, the moment you've been waiting for, for your entire life th-"
"Actually." Rachel interjected. "It hasn't been mine, Mercedes or Tina's dream to win this game Coach."
Beiste sighed in frustration. "Fine, it's your dream except Berry, Jones and Cohen hyphen Chang. Happy?"
"Very but you see we don't know what we should do seen as none of us are as highly skilled as the other team members. So what are our positions?"
"Well like you said, you lot don't know that much about football so maybe you want to-"
"Just run around and not do anything?" Mercedes asked.
"Yeah. You don't have to play, just look busy."
"Oh, it's better then what I was expecting." Tina smiled.
"Right does everyone know about the tactics? Karofsky?"
"Hmm?" Dave looked up to see Coach Beiste glaring down at him. "Oh, I'm not playing if these girls are. I'll sit out."
"Well if we win it will be no thanks to you."
"Like to see that happen." Dave muttered under his breath as the team dispersed onto the field.
As Finn got into his position, he saw Rachel a couple of meters away. Finn smiled at himself at the sight of Rachel in her uniform getting ready to play a game that Finn never thought she would play. Yet here he was.
At half time, McKinley was up by three but with Dave refusing to play; it looks like the scoreboards could very much turn.
"Now for the half time entertainment, I'd like to introduce McKinley's Glee club and football team."
After the announcement, the lights dimmed and smoke began to appear mysteriously. The the music started.
Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Off Off Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Off Off Off with your head
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Off Off Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'alls neighborhood
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, tonight
Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Off Off Off with your head
Dance dance dance 'til you're dead
Off Off Off with your head
