After school and thankfully gym class where she could shower and change since she felt disgusting after her encounter with Jacob, Rachel walked into the choir room and crossed to the piano. Finn looked up and his face darkened.

"Rachel, what's going on with you? I keep hearing these rumors…And why are you dressed like that?" He gestured, indicating the black jeans, fishnet shirt under a red blouse, and dark makeup. "You look like Tina, except, y'know, like, not."

Rachel squinted at Finn. "Excuse me? Finn, I don't think how I dress is any of your business. How do you know I'm not researching a role?" She sneered at him.

"I don't, I guess. I'm just kinda worried about you. You seem kinda…different." He rubbed a hand over the back of his neck.

"Well you shouldn't worry. I'm perfectly capable of handling myself. And you can ignore whatever vicious rumors you're hearing about me. Shall we practice?" She handed him a sheet of music.
