Bad Reputation

The New Directions sat around Kurt's laptop, laughing as they watched a video that he and Jayden had 'borrowed' from Sue Sylvester's office.

"What's so funny?" Finn asked as he walked in.

"Jayden, are you showing them that video of me falling off the stage at my first Tiny Tots beauty pageant?" Rachel asked as she came in with Jesse.

"Please, that wasn't anywhere near as funny as this," Jayden giggled.

"That's Olivia Newton-John's Physical," said Jesse. "It was pretty groundbreaking subject matter at the time considering its depiction of fluid sexuality."

"Wait, wait," Finn said as he took a closer look at the video. "That's not Olivia Newton-John. That's...Sue Sylvester. Where did you get this?"

"I can tell you that Jay and I certainly did not steal it from her locked file cabinet when she sent us back to her office to get her hormone replacement injection during Cheerios practice," Kurt chuckled as Jayden wiped away some tears from all the laughing.

"Hold up," Artie spoke up. "Did she just do the Cabbage Patch?"

"I'm posting this on YouTube," Finn said as he reached for the laptop.

"Do you think that's a good idea?" Rachel asked as she held a hand out to stop him. "She might kill us."

"Oh, let her get a taste of some of the humiliation she put us through," Mercedes laughed.

"I'm with Finn," said Jesse. "You need to stop being such asses and start being badasses."

Finn smirked and reached for the laptop. "Ten bucks this goes viral by lunch."

Rachel couldn't keep waiting for Jayden to come to her when it was becoming obvious that she wasn't going to. She knocked gently on her sister's closed bedroom door – Since when does she close her door?  – before slowly turning the handle and walking in.

Jayden looked up from her homework and tucked a strand of her loose hair behind her ear before motioning for her older sister to sit down.

"Are you gonna yell at me again?" Jayden asked, her voice barely audible.

"No," Rachel shook her head as she sat down across from her. "As worried as I am about you, I know that getting upset is only going to make things worse."

"Worried? About what?"

"A couple things," Rachel admitted. "But mainly your friendship with Brittany and Santana."

"What about it?" Jayden frowned.

"Those girls are trouble," the older girl said. "They have a reputation, and I don't want them hurting you."

"They'd never hurt me," Jayden shook her head.

"I don't want them using you for sex," Rachel sighed. "You know they both have a habit of sleeping around, right? You're so sweet and innocent and-and naive, which makes you an easy target in Santana's twisted sex games."

"She wouldn't do that."

"But...but how do you know?" Rachel asked.

"Cause she's straight?" Jayden shrugged.

"That doesn't stop her from hooking up with Brittany," the diva mumbled.

"Rachel, look," Jayden sighed. "I understand you're concerned...but I know for a fact that they care about me. They'd never use me or...or hurt me or anything like that. And if they did, you'd be the first to know. But you don't have to worry about that."
