Find Yourself
OK so this is just a poor excuse to write some more Finn. Sorry if this chapter really is kind of short and full of filler. Anyways thanks for reading in advance though I kind of would like it if you left me a quick review (I currently have even allowed for anon reviews so there is no excuse!!) even if it's just to say hi that way I know what you like and don't like so I don't bore you… still don't own either fandom just my love of them…
Entering school on Tuesday Kristina was stopped in the halls early in the morning by an unlikely sores.
"Kristina can we talk," Finn spoke with a nervous cracking in his voice.
Letting his eyes fall from his crush to his best friend Kurt gave Kristina the go ahead to let the jock speak.
"Sure Finn," she said as Kurt still stood by her side.
Finn kind of wanted this conversation to be a one on one thing but Kurt was cool so he wasn't going to push him away.
"So Puck and I have just started to be on speaking terms outside of Glee," Finn began causing
Kristina to nod as she had heard all about the baby gate thing and the fall out. "Anyway so Puck told me all about how you helped him get a B+ in Chemistry and well I was wondering…."
Kristina let out a little laugh.
Finn was cute when he was nervous and she could tell the appeal that he had to Rachel and Kurt and at one time Quinn as well. In fact who was to say that if she had met him before she had begun to fall for Artie that she herself would have fallen for Finn as well.
"If I'd tutor you," Kristina spoke finishing his thought.
He nodded.
This was easier then he thought as he began to tell her about his grades in Math and how they were almost at the point of bringing him to academic probation.
"I mean that would mean no more sports, no more glee, I don't know what I'd do without either of those."
Excusing herself for the moment she decided that she should confer with Kurt on this one.
"Should I do it?" she asked him.
"Hello, the boy cheats off of Brittany a girl who thinks that the square root of four is rainbows."
Kristina tried not to laugh at that comment about the blonde Cheerio however she was so ditzy that she wouldn't put it past her to of thought this.
"So it's a yes?"
"It's a yes, and maybe you can put in a good word for me."
Kristina grinned thinking that she totally should of brought the whole idea of splitting Rachel and Finn up for her friends personal gains to Molly as her sister would totally of stolen a page from Jane Austin or something like that.
Kristina just smiled as she headed back over to where Finn was standing.
"How about today during fifth, your free period, my lunch, in the Library."
Finn nodded liking that arrangement pleased that he now knew where the school library actually was.
--
Stepping into lab she noticed Noah was absent which was to be expected. He had called her the night before telling her Quinn had another appointment or something and that he'd see her later in Glee.
--
It was soon fifth and Kristina headed into the Library to see Finn wasn't there.
She hoped to god he wasn't going to flake on her as she kind of missed the fact that she couldn't sit in the lunch room hanging out with a certain someone.
Deciding that she'd pass the time working on her French homework she pulled out her textbook and began to work.
"Wow, French," Finn's voice rang as he sat down across from her a few minutes later placing a vending machine granola bar on the table.
Taking the bar Kristina placed it in her bag and smiled thinking Finn was sweet to bring her something cause she missed lunch and knew that since food was contraband in the library she would have to eat it quickly before she headed to her own Math class.
Getting back to the comment Finn had just made she smiled.
"I also speak Spanish, Latin, Italian, Russian, and Greek," she replied causing Finn's eyes to widen.
He was definitely shocked. Spanish and English were already tricky for him but six languages Kristina must have been some kind of robot or something.
Closing her book she motioned for Finn to pull out his Math for her.
She smiled.
The class he had been taking was on a lower level then the class she was taking at the moment and so helping him would be a piece of cake.
Pulling a strain of loose hair behind her ear she pulled Finn's book closer to her looking over what he had already done.
"Good, good, you missed a step here, ok..hmmm…"
Finn was nervous but Kristina simply smiled. It had definitely seemed that he had been grasping more that he thought he was as his tutor explained a few formulas to him that caused him to hit his head as he had caught stupid mistakes and other formulas that made him wonder if he'd ever use this stuff in the real world.
As they worked soon the conversation turned.
"So, you and Rachel, how serious are you."
Finn blushed a bit. He had totally thought that Kristina had eyes for Artie and yet it sure sounded like she was flirting with him.
"Are you trying to ask me out."
Kristina was now the one to do the blushing.
"No… it's just…"
She didn't realize that it would be this hard.
She knew that simply spitting it all out saying how Kurt had been crushing on him since freshman year and how Noah was hung up on Rachel would be disastrous.
"Just… Kristina you can be honest here, we're friends right."
She shrugged.
She guessed that she and Finn were friends seeing as how he did save her in the face of Coach Sylvester that day as well as the times they had talked albeit when others were around.
"Yea, we're friends."
"So, tell me, why are you asking what's up with me and Rachel."
"I just know someone else that likes Rachel that's all."
Closing his book Finn rolled his eyes.
"It's Puck right. God can't he just let me be happy without trying to steal the girl I'm with."
"So you are with Rachel?"
"Well not officially or anything, she says that she can't fully commit to me when I'm still rebounding from Quinn."
He changed his tone into a whisper.
"But between you and me, I see the way she looks at Puck and has been since she dated him for a week back in October. I think that deep down Rachel is conflicted and I wish she could make her mind up so I could get on with my life."
Kristina just smiled at Finn wondering if this was the time to add flames to the fire and tell him all about Kurt's crush.
However the bell soon rang causing them to part ways and for Finn to tell her he'd see her at glee rehearsal as well.
--
By the time Kristina got into Lit she took her seat, as the first groups were getting ready to do their presentations.
"So, how did the date with Hudson go?"
"Translation did I talk about you."
Kurt nodded as Kristina shook her head. The young man pouted as he really thought that the study session between Krissy and Finn would lead to the groundwork finally being laid for him to get with the guy of his dreams.
"But…"
Kurt's eyes held a glimmer of hope once more as Kristina went on.
"But, I did ask him how serious he and Rachel are."
"And."
Kristina simply smiled not needing to share with her best friend the tidbit about how Finn had felt that there was something between his frienemy and his almost girlfriend.
It was then that the teacher's gaze fell upon them and their attention snapped back to their fellow classmate's performances thinking that come Thursday they would blow the classes socks off.

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
It was now glee time and Mr. Schuster was in the process of teaching the group their newest song that they would perform at the showcase and most likely would then reprise during Regionals.
The first few notes began as the girls all sang in unison before Finn began to sing the first few lines.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done…..
Continuing through the song the teacher clapped his hands. For one of their earlier rehearsals the group was definitely getting it's groove on and he was to wrapped up in that he didn't see the love stories that were panning out in front of his very eyes.
