Word Count: 309
Warnings: AU after the Finn/Rachel breakup in season 2
Notes: This is going to be a collection based on Taylor Swift songs. The title of the chapter will be the title of the song the story is inspired by. The story might be inspired by the song name or specific lyrics within the song. I don't how many songs I will do. They will most likely be Puck/Rachel, although there might be some Sam/Rachel or gen stories in there. If any are interconnected, I'll let you know.

When Rachel begins dating Noah during junior year after her tragic breakup with Finn, no one seems that surprised. In fact, they all act as if they were expecting it. Rachel knows that there' has always been chemistry between her and Noah and realizes the glee club might have also seen it.

After they kiss for the first time into their new relationship, Noah whispers against her lips, "I want to do this right this time around. Friday night, you and I are going out on our first date."

Rachel wanted to scream in excitement, but she was able to hold it in.

When Noah picks her up, he helps her into the car like a gentleman he will never admit to being. When Noah begins driving, Rachel can't help but look at him, the side of her head resting on the headrest of her seat.

Rachel likes Noah so much that it scares her. She's so afraid of giving her heart away and it getting broken. The more time she spends with him, the more she likes him. That's why them beginning to date again really was inevitable.

Noah runs a hand through his Mohawk, and Rachel wants it to be her hand. As if finally sensing her gaze, he quickly glances at her. She sees the quirk of his lips before his eyes go back to the road.

Rachel blushes at having been caught, but when Noah's hand goes to rest on her thigh and his thumb rubs soft circles on it, Rachel can't find it in herself to really care.

She sighs contentedly. She really can't wait to see what Noah has planned for their first official date. She's sure it will be perfect and she will love it.

After all, she's finally with Noah and that's all she truly needs for a perfect first date.
