Chapter 4: here, have my letterman.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own glee.
Sorry, this is another short chapter but I thought it was nice to finish here, also it's sort of a carry on from chapter 3:)
The worry practically radiates off of Rachel and Finn can sense it, a lot. He understands that she's scared, scared of how their classmates will react upon seeing her burn. He's daydreaming again and only realises she had gathered her things and is leaving when she about through the locker room door.
"Rach, wait"
The nickname tumbles from his mouth as if he'd said it since birth, it was just natural. She stops in her tracks, turning slowly but not meeting his eye, a slight blush gracing her cheeks.
"Here."
He says smoothly as he strides towards her, taking far less steps than the petit brunette. He shrugs off his letterman from his shoulders and places it around her.
"I could never take your-"
He shushes her.
"Think of it as an insurance policy."
She looks at him, questioning what her was implying. He further explains.
"If you take my jacket it means that you have to bring it back sometime, which means that I get to see you again."
Rachel chuckles shyly, as though a full laugh would embarrass her way too much, Finn found it endearing.
"I'd like that"
She replies, suddenly intrigued by a certain crack in the tiled flooring. The bell interrupts the silence that had extended between them, Rachel looks up and is captured again by the beautiful orbs that stared down at her.
"I'll see you soon, then?"
Finn replies hopefully. Rachel nods and heads for the door, she turns and lifts her hand in a silent farewell. Finn heads to class- geometry, great. But for some reason he isn't bothered in the slightest, his thought stolen by a certain chocolate-eyed beauty.
The day flies by and Rachel can't help the small smile that graces her lips when she gets the slightest of smell from the jacket that cocoons her body. She is in bliss. Except from the glance that some girls are giving her. It's like they cannot believe that shy Rachel Berry actually has a football players letterman.
Final bell rings and Rachel drops her books off at her locker and heads to glee. She excited for today's musical number, it involves lots of dancing, which Rachel loves, and of course Mercedes belts out the runs in sheer perfection.
Rachel heads into the choir room and the first thing she sees in the excited face of a blonde cheerleader, Brittney, she's never been the brightest spark but Rachel thinks that her constant happiness is a breath of fresh air.
She takes a seat at the back of the class,mr Schue knows not to ask her questions as she seizes up and can't answer properly. Mr Schue begins.
"Welcome, glee clubbers, I would like to invite our new members, Santana and Brittney, I thought maybe we could show them the ropes during our number today and show them what we can really do!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. So the headed off to the auditorium to start the number.
Reviews are love, it'd be freat to know what you think:)
