Don't worry my fellow Gleeks! Finchel WILL happen, just give it some time ok? :D
Rachel's POV:
I entered the locker room, I pulled off my uniform, man I blew it! I fell for a guy, literally! I can't stand going back there for the game, in front of a crowd would be humiliating! I fast walked out of the locker room and ran out of the school.
I found a place to sit and think, everything was just difficult. "You alright?", someone said. I looked up to see that familiar brunette who just talked to me.
"I really don't know", I responded
He took a seat next to me and smiled, "Is this about that fall you made?" His eyes pierced in my soul.
"Um, one of the reasons...", I admitted
"What's wrong? Matt is here for you", he said
"Well, Kurt had an idea to get me to be a cheerleader so he dragged me to the locker room and asked Santana for her uniform, and all that happened"
"Oh, wait-why did he want you to be a cheerleader?", he asked curiously
"Um, Kurt wanted me to watch Finn at his game tonight because..", I breathed in, "I like him"
"Wait, you have a crush on Finn?"
"Well, yeah you can say that"
He started to form a bigger smile, "He's like my best bud!"
I was surprised in shock, "Really?"
"Yeah, baby!", he said, "Wow, why can't babes like you crush on me?", he joked
I had to admit it, "Well, I did think you were cute when you, ya know, asked me if I was ok", I smiled. "You just have nice eyes and brown hair".
He flashed his white teeth at me as I looked down to my feet. I walked towards him and touched his lips with mine. "Mmm, Matt, you're a great kisser", I said while he kissed me. I moaned and laughed, he hugged my back. Suddenly, I opened my eyes in shock and pulled away from him, "Wait this is wrong!", I said wiping my lips and spitting.
"Oh come on! You were so into it!", he said
I just scoffed, "That's the point! You are keeping Finn away from me with your pretty boy band looks!", I spat again in disgust
"Rachel, you're a babe, you are soo out of his leaugue! Any guy in our team would totally tap that!"
I gasped and slapped him, "I am not a sex symbol for every guy at this school!"
He laughed, "You kind of are", he pointed at my outfit that Quinn gave to me.
"Whatever! You know, I don't care if Finn is 'out of my league'", I told him with air quotes, "Whether he says I'm a babe or not, my heart will always beat faster when I see him or hear his voice". I walked away even more angrier than I was.
It was time for the game, I dressed in the Cheerio outfit again. The crowd was slowly filling up and I grew nervous. I found my fellow cheerers and started dancing with them. "Gooo MCKINLEY!", we shouted. When Finn and his team had scored some touchdowns, the crowd, the cheerleaders, and I screamed in victory.
I had managed to do a cradle perfectly. Everyone went wild when I performed some front flips. Kurt waved at me from the audience, I returned a smile. It took me a while to notice the score board, we were behind 24-27. It didn't seem to matter to me, I mean of anyone made a big deal about winning, that'd be pretty stupid.
It's been almost an hour and a half before the game was over, "William McKinley wins!". The crowd roared, I smiled since everyone was so happy. The audience started to exit the bleachers. All the guys grabbed their Gatorade and went to the changing rooms. Quinn and the other cheerleaders left, "Rachel aren't you gonna change?", Brittany asked.
"I'll just stay here for a while", Brittany nodded before catching up to the girls. I took my pigtails out and let my straight hair down, I loved to feel the wind graciously blow her hair back. I closed my eyes and started to think. I fell off the bench when someone said "Hey".
I put my hand on my head again, "Ow"
"Rachel I'm so sorry", Finn said helping me up
"Ow, it's ok, I'm fine", I said turning my pain into a smile
Finn had gotten done changing. He half grinned, "You know, I never thought you'd look cute as a cheerleader".
I smiled, "Finn, stop it"
"Really, you do I mean, you're my favorite cheerleader", he assured
"Aaww!", I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him, "You are so sweet Finn"
"Ok guys, break it up", Kurt said. He had his arms crossed and was smiling at me.
"Really Kurt?", I mouthed. "Oh Ok, I'll see you tomorrow ok?", I said to Finn and he nodded.
I ran up to Kurt, "Santana's waiting to get her uniform back", he pointed out
"Yeah I know, stop your blabbering", I joked
Most of the girls were done changing. After changing back to my clothes, I returned it to Santana.
"So did Finchel work out?", she asked Kurt excited to hear an answer
I rolled my eyes again, "Stop using that word!", I instructed
Kurt scratched his head, "Well, they were hugging just now", he looked at me and smiled
"Ok, so we hugged, big deal", I doubtfully said
"It's a huge deal! Why did you guys hug in the first place?", she is so nosy
I blushed, it was noticeable to both of them. I smiled, "He said I was his favorite-", I giggled
"His favorite..." Santana persisted
I lookep up to her, "His favorite cheerleader".
"Aaww!", Santana seemed to approve of Finn and I.
"But it's still no big deal", I said. Then that memory of Matt and I kissing came up.
"Why?", asked Santana. I was still dazed out.
"Rachel? Why is it no big deal?", she asked again snapping her fingers in front of my face.
"Um, I sort of um, kissed a boy", I admitted. Kurt and Santana gasped, I felt really guilty, then again I did tell Matt that my heart was on Finn.
Kurt looked so shocked, "Oh my God! Who?".
I started tearing up, "Matt, Matther Rutherford", uh, I felt so disgusted.
"My ex boyfriend?, Santana informed
"Santana please, I don't like him!", I said
She shrugged, "Eh don't worry bout it! I broke up with him, he's a wimp!"
"Should I tell Finn since you know, we're not exactly dating yet?", I asked
Both of their eyes widened, "Yet?" I sighed and covered my face again. "Rachel Barbra Berry, did you say yet?", Santana teased.
"Oh gosh, are you really going to take that seriously?", I asked being annoyed. She just looked at me.
"Fine, whatever, I'll just tell him, he's my friend", I said feeling slightly hopeful.
