𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐀𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄, her biggest climb, which might end in ultimate warfare.  She would be finally trying out for the boys football  team after weeks of holding back on her dreams. The honey blonde met up with Finn Hudson outside the girls bathroom door. In his hands, he held his own uniform and his helmet, which was awfully too big for the petite sized Cline.

"So, what do you need these for again, it's just you never told me your plan," Finn voiced as he handed his helmet over to Aerin

"I'm...using them for an art project," Aerin lied, terribly.

Finn raised an eyebrow at her, just by looking at her you could tell she definitely didn't have an artistic bone in her body. 

Aerin held the jersey to her body, it reaked of sweat and body cologne, the most foulest combinations know to man. She scrunches her nose to block the bad scent out before she quickly shoved it in Finn's arms again.

"I can't wear this-"  Aerin scoffed, Finn rolled his eyes as he put the jersey back in his backpack,  he didn't smell that bad did he ?

"I thought you needed it for an art project ?" Finn asked, he had finally sused her out. Aerin let out a deep sigh, there was no way she could keep it up forever, Aerin had to tell someone what she was planning on doing eventually.  Maybe the Hudson could help her, he definitely seemed like the trust worthy type, and was most certainly better at keeping secrets then Brittany or Artie.

"Fine, I'll tell you," Aerin replied slight grin, "I'm gonna try out for the team"

A look of confusion suddenly fell on Finn's face, still not catching on, he asked with curiosity, "Which team, the roller hockey team ? the chess team ? you know I've always thought you'd make a good cheerio-"

"The football team, nimrod, I'm trying out for the football team," Aerin groaned with frustration, cutting off Finn immediately.

Finn couldn't think of a response to Aerin's revelation, he thought it was cool that a girl wanted to try at a boy sport. But in the back of his mind he also thought of the many consequences that would come with Aerin being on the football team.

For starters, the poor girl would be a huge target for the other jocks, specifically Azimio and Karofsky. There was also the possibility of her having to face the wrath of Sue Sylvester, and her torment never ended good for anybody.

"I don't want to kill your buzz, but I don't think that's a good idea," Finn finally spoke up, frustrating the blonde even more.

She was tired of having to justify herself to people, especially her friends. Aerin had already heard those same words from Quinn, Sam, her brother and now she had to hear them again from Finn. The only people who actually supported her decision to join was Santana, the only person who really knew her.

" 𝐖𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃𝐍'𝐓 𝐁𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒", what they should wear, how they should act. And frankly, I'm tired of it," Aerin voiced as she took in a sharp intake of breath, "I'm many things but I'm not a quitter, when I strive for something, I'll go the extra mile. And if I have to crush skulls along the way, then I'll do it-"

Finn's eyes widen at Aerin's last statement, he looked down at her nervously. The blonde burst out into a fit of laughter when she saw his reaction, Aerin was a lot of things but she could never pull of a murder.

"I'm kidding, I thought it would help with impact," she jeered, Finn held his hand to his chest, for a second he thought Aerin was being serious.

"I'm gonna go change, I'll see you out on the pitch," Aerin exclaimed whilst she held Finn's helmet under her arm

Finn reached for the side pocket of his backpack, he gives her another jersey, this time it's a lot smaller and the scent of it is way more appealing.

"You keep miniature versions of your jersey in your bag ?" Aerin asked with raised eyebrows, she found it really strange that Finn had duplicates of his clothes, maybe it was a custom for people in Ohio.

"I made it on one of those weird online t-shirt design stores, it was a Valentines gift for Rachel but I thought it was totally cheesy  so I never gave it her," Finn explained

Aerin turned the back of the jersey, in bold print it read STAR and he had used the number 1 as it's official number. It was anything but cheesy, it was sweet and thoughtful.  If the Cline was in Rachel's shoes she would've been super moved by a gift like that, even if it was just a shirt with a peel-able number on the back.

"Thank you, but I can't do that dude," Aerin sympathised, it would be weird for her to wear a shirt that was meant for his girlfriend.

"But you need a jersey, and this is the only one I have, what you said about the whole women not be respected thing really moved me, and I want to help you reach your goal," Finn declared with a soft smile on his face, "Put on the jersey, and give it your all Aerin, you've got this in the bag"
