Don't own Glee or anything associated with it, of course.

First attempt at Glee fanfic, I hope you like it! It's AU with Rachel being a new student at McKinley...Review please :)

The dreaded sound of his cell phone alarm went off way too early for a Monday morning after a weekend of partying. When Puck realized the reason for his alarm was that he needed to wake up and get to football practice he groaned and started to roll over and put a pillow over his head, but then he realized a very important fact and shot up to a seated position. It was July 15th. The halfway point of summer and two-a-days practices…and the first day of Cheerios tryouts for the following year. A smirk grew across his face as he thought of how much better football practice became when the cheerios started practices.

Puck jumped up and grabbed his phone, turning off the alarm and hunted through his contacts until he found his best friend's number. The phone rang a few times until a groggy sounding Finn answered the phone.

"Dude, what the hell, why are you calling me, I'll see you in like 30 minutes at practice," Finn mumbled, clearly annoyed that Puck had awakened him before his alarm.

"Finn! Its fuckin' July 15th!" Puck practically screamed into his phone.

"Yeah and? Dude I haven't heard you this damn excited since you found out Santana just pretended she was prego last March so you'd date her. The hell is going on?"

Puck groaned in annoyance. "We look forward to this day all summer, dude! Cheerios tryouts! Then the rest of the summer they run around outside in those skimpy outfits and shit."

This got a laugh from his tired friend. "Puckerman, you couldn't be more of a man whore if you tried. I'll see you at practice."

Puck smirked again while he closed his phone and got his football stuff. He wanted to get to practice early so he could strut around "doing badass shit" with the guys. (More like he wanted to strut around and show off for all the cheerio hopefuls who he knew would totally eat it all up.)

Puck pulled into the school parking lot a few seconds after Matt and Mike maneuvered into their parking spots. As soon as Puck saw the two boys climb out of their cars, he noted the look on their faces and knew they were just as excited about the impending view they would have from the practice field for the rest of the summer,

"Well fellas, looks like our two-a-days are about to become a bit more bearable," Matt said and winked at his teammates.

"Fucking bet your ass it will dude," Puck leered at the group of girls already gathering on the track surrounding the field, trying to see if there were any he didn't recognize other than the freshman.

Mike was clearly doing the same thing as he swore and noted that all the "fresh meat were scared looking freshman girls who appeared to have missed their ticket on the puberty train."

"Why don't you guys get a little more obvious?" the boys turned around at the sound of Finn's voice coming up behind them. "You look like a bunch of perverts." However, he joined right in the staring, noting that Quinn, the blonde girl he sort of had a crush on, was there, and though he would swear on his life it was his breakfast rumbling around strangely, felt some butterflies in his stomach.

Puck noticed and his signature smirk creeped across his face. "Dude, Finn, blondie whats-her-fuck is never going to figure out you exist if you don't get your ass in the locker room and put your shit on," he slapped Finn on the shoulder as he and the other guys started heading in to get changed. Never mind that they still had about 30 minutes until practice started and could've gotten away without putting all their gear on yet…but everyone knew they needed to throw the football around and act cool as much as possible before coach started screaming at them during practice now that there were females around.

A few minutes later, the boys emerged from the locker room and swaggered their way toward the field. Puck, Finn, Matt, and Mike walked as close past the girls as possible, and Puck's prediction was correct, heads turned and girls stared. He took a look at the blonde Finn always stared at, and elbowed his friend.

"Your broad's lookin at you," he mumbled out the side of his mouth, causing Finn to turn red.

"Yeah well…Santana the psycho looks just about ready to jump your bones," was his lousy attempt at embarrassing his best friend.

Puck lazily browsed through the crowd of girls until he found the psycho Finn was referring to, seeing that she was more so glaring than anything else in his direction. Santana was still bitter that he hadn't wanted to be tied down to her the year before, and pretending to be pregnant made her even less appealing. He made sure she saw him roll his eyes and look away from her. No way did he want that crazy anywhere near him this year, there was no time to deal with her stage five clinginess and fabricated pregnancies when he planned to play football and party with his buddies all year, and fuck pretty much any chick that would let him, provided she was at least kinda cute once he'd downed a few brewskis. Finn obviously did not want anything to do with this plan as he wanted Scrawny McBlonde-Broad to be his girlfriend. Puck didn't even know what that girl's name was, he never paid attention to her due to that whole best friend shit, though he didn't see why Finn would care anyways, it's not like he would ever want to date the chick.

"Puckerman! Hussle!"

"

Puck heard Coach yelling his name and broke into a jog toward the huddle of guys.

"Well, thank you for joining us Puckerman. The hell, were you puttin' on makeup over there and joining the cheerios tryouts?" Coach reprimanded him and some of the players laughed. "Oh shut up! You're all lookin' like stupid puppy dogs starin' at those girls over there. What, haven't any of you ever seen one?" Coach snorted. "Who am I kiddin'? Look at all you homely idiots, all your heads are shoved so far up your asses there's no way in hell you've ever been around a girl long enough to know how to act in front of one. Now I don't want any of you speakin' to any of those ladies over there…and don't try and 'show off' for 'em, not a one of 'em could give a damn about football and you'll end up making asses of yourselves. Now spread out for warm-ups!"

The guys started spreading across the field for the beginning of practice when Matt shoved Puck's arm.

"Dude…look at that," he said, pointing somewhere behind Puck.

Puck whipped around to see what Matt had been pointing to, and figured it out immediately. Walking towards the Cheerios tryouts in what seemed to be slow motion was probably the sexiest girl Puck had ever laid eyes on. The girl was tiny, but still managed to have legs for days, with long, thick, dark hair billowing down her back and huge brown eyes. She looked around toward the football field, and locked eyes with Puck, causing his breath to hitch in his throat and he felt his mouth drop open. A small hint of a grin on her face let him know she had noticed his reaction to her before she turned away and was immediately bombarded by Finn's blondie.

"Holy fuck me sideways on a park bench, that chick is HOT," Puck said under his breath as he wandered to his warm up spot, the wheels already turning in his head with plans on how to meet this girl and make her his…well, his for like, a night of course, considering he has a reputation to uphold as badass chick magnet…though he couldn't escape the nagging feeling that there was something about that girl that already made him not want to share her, and he didn't even know her name yet…
