Rachel's POV

Rachel had her legs crossed under the desk, head down and as much focus as possible on the paper in front of her. The teacher was sitting in her own desk and there was silence across the classroom, well mostly, she could hear Britney two seats away asking Finn for help. Glancing up towards the two, she could see Finn struggling, and Britney stealing answers off his test. Probably not the smartest idea, she thought with a smile, but then Britney had never been the smartest girl. Finn really wasn't all that sharp either, but she found that quality somewhat endearing on him, but then her opinion was biased.

Turning her attention back to her own test, she hadn't studied really and some of the questions were more challenging than she had hoped, but she was managing decently enough. She was on the last question, she glanced in Finn's direction again, noticing that he had the eraser of his pencil in his mouth and was chewing on it, she made a slight look of disgust, she'd have to insist that he use mouthwash before she allowed him to kiss her again. She shook her head, trying to pay attention to her own test. She had just placed her pencil against the paper, prepared to write her answer before she heard the door open.

Every head in the classroom turned towards the door, staring at the person who had just come in, it was Jacob, an annoying geeky kid from AV club who was obsessed with her. A few heads went back to their paper, but most of them watched as Jacob walked over to the teacher and handed her a paper, before glancing in her direction, Rachel quickly turned her head back down to her test. She couldn't stand Jacob, he was a disgusting pervert who didn't understand the word 'personal boundaries'.

Rachel dared another glance towards the teachers desk and her stomach turned as she realized the teacher was looking at her, had she done something wrong? She watched as the teacher stood and walked towards her desk.

She set the paper on Rachel's desk, whispering "the office would like to see you, go ahead and put your test on my desk as you leave" there was a nod as Rachel gathered her things, stopping at the teachers desk on her way out to deposit the test and then stealing a glance towards Finn, who was watching her with a worried expression. She began towards the door, feeling a hand wrapping around her shoulder, which she shook off and shot Jacob a warning glare.

Once she was in the hallway, she felt her mind swing into overdrive, she hoped that everything was okay. She ignored Jacob completely as she began down the hallway without him, she didn't care what he did or where he went, she now had more important things to worry about. What if something happened to one of her dads, 'there's no purpose in scaring yourself' she thought, considering dropping her books off in her locker, but she didn't know if she would have to leave school, she decided to keep them with her and head directly for the office.

She was trying very hard not to break into a run as she went, each thought that went through her head was worst than the other, she knew her dads wouldn't have pulled her out of class if it weren't an emergency. She had just passed the choir room when she heard…

"Hello Rachel.." she paused at the words, blinking, something in her told her to keep going, but that voice sounded familiar. She turned, her eyes wider than usual in pure surprise.

"Jessie?" she said with disbelief, but he'd flash her one of his perfected smiles as he took a few steps closer, to which she took a step back "I.." she blinked, trying to think of what to say "I can't stay.." she continued finally, her eyes dropping to the ground as she went to turn back "I need to go to the.."

"No you don't" he interrupted taking another step closer, "stop doing that" she said only half turned towards him now, and taking another step back "and I really do, I got a note and.."

"I sent the note" he said, this time he didn't move forward, he could see that she was beginning to get nervous "I'm not going to hurt you Rachel, you don't need to be afraid of me" he promised, obviously wanting to take another step but staying where he was.

"You sent that note to my teacher.. Why?" Rachel looked confused and uncomfortable with the situation.

"Because I wanted to talk to you, alone.. Something tells me that Finn wouldn't have allowed this otherwise" His smile faded slightly at the mention of Finn's name, it was obvious that he wasn't thrilled at Rachel's decision of her current boyfriend "you really couldn't find somebody a little more.. Intelligent?" he asked in slight disbelief "Your so smart and talented Rachel, and yet your wasting yourself on.."

"Stop!" Rachel demanded, she was no longer looking at him, she had her books clung tightly to her chest and was staring at the floor. "I love Finn, and I'm not wasting my time on him, your wasting your time by being here. Leave me alone."

She stole a glance in his direction and was surprised to see the look in his eyes, it was hurt, true deep heart break. She had to fight the urge to comfort him, he had been the one to hurt her "H.. how did you know that I was with Finn?" She asked, a realization was just now coming to her and then she gasped "Wait were you the one who called me last night?" her eyes narrowed suspiciously.

"See what I mean, your so smart.. You know the bells going to ring any minute, maybe we can move this conversation someplace a little more.. Private" he suggested, indicating the open choir room door. She shook her head, looking away again, feeling a slight blush on her cheeks "I don't think that's a good idea.. Besides I don't have anything to say to you Jessie, you shouldn't even be here.." she stated angrily, she could feel her insides writhing from the different emotions that his appearance was causing.

Jessie opened him mouth to say something, but the bell sounded at that exact moment and the doors were opening and the hall was flooding with people. He stood there for another minute "your boyfriend will be here soon, and I'm not looking for a fight with him, I guess I'll just have to talk to you later" he said adding another smile "don't count on it" Rachel hissed coldly.

It just wasn't fair, she had just made the decision to be over him, that he didn't deserve anymore of her time or thoughts.. Why was he here? "Please Rachel, I really do need to talk to you.." she hadn't realized how close he had gotten through the crowd and she gasped flinching away from him, he sighed, that broken hearted look coming back "I.. I'm so sorry Rachel, please.."

"You have three seconds to get away from her" a voice warned from behind him, they both glanced over his shoulder to see who the voice belonged to. Finn was standing there, his hands balled in fists, Jessie turned his attention back to Rachel, "I'll call you tonight, answer.. Please" he added before turning to shoot a glare back towards Finn. Jessie was a song and dance guy, and no match for Finn, he knew that. "Nice to see you again Finn" Jessie said, sarcasm dripping from every syllable "I was just saying hi to an old friend, surely your not that overly possessive" he added as a taunt. Rachel could hear Finn's knuckles pop from her distance "two.." Finn warned again, ignoring any of the jibes, but Jessie just shook his head "you not worth the sweat" he turned, pausing for a second and whispering in Rachel's direction "but you are" before walking off, leaving the two.

"Rachel, are you okay?" in an instant, Finn was by her side, she hadn't realized that she had started leaning against the lockers behind her. Her skin was more pale than usual and she looked like she was about to cry, Finn would pull her away from the lockers and into his arms in a swift movement "it's okay, he's gone" he promised in a soothing voice.

Rachel could feel her mind going crazy, answer the phone.. He was going to call her, again? What should she do? Should she answer? No, she was in so much pain right now because of him, why would she ever give him the time of day, why was he here? She asked herself.

"what did he want?" Finn asked, repeating the same questions that were in her head "h.. he said he wanted to talk" she answered, looking up at him. "and?' Finn said a little more rush in his voice this time "and nothing, he never got around to what he wanted to talk about" she said looking up at him with a frown. "Okay, come on" Finn said softly, taking her by the hand and trying to lead her in the direction of the office "where are we going?" she asked. "To the office.. We're going to make sure he doesn't do this again" she shook her head, pulling at his hand to stop him "no, I don't want to make this a big thing.. We've only got one more class before Glee, I just want to finish the day" she stated watching his face, he looked towards the office and then back to her, looking her directly in the eyes "I don't want him doing this to you again".

Rachel smiled slightly "I know, but I'm okay" Finn adopted a skeptical look "Rachel, I saw your face, you didn't look okay" he stated. Rachel shrugged "He just scared me at first, I wasn't expecting him, but I think he'll leave me alone, I told him I didn't want to talk to him.." she hugged him, burying her face in his shoulder. She felt somewhat guilty lying to Finn about this, but she didn't want any more attention called to this than there already was. She didn't know that Finn already had other plans. "I don't think that he's going to stop.." he commented "but, I'll drop it.. For now" he allowed for her sake. "Here I'll walk you to class" he took her books out of her arms and lead her down the hallway towards her last class of the day, trying to hide any amount of worry he might have.
