Chapter 1

Rachel Berry was being annoying. So annoying that he wanted to throw something at her. Unfortunately Mr Schue was in the room so he would start being annoying and Puck always got majorly irritated about that.

"FINN!" Rachel screeched and Puck winced. He looked at his former best friend who stopped to glare at his (ex) girlfriend. "I am so sick of you judging me all the time because I had one moment of weakness! Yes, I cheated on you by kissing Puck. But you SLEPT with Santana! The school's harlot! Except she's one for free!" Rachel took one long breath to calm herself down while Finn looked confused.

"Okay, what does harlot mean?" He asked her and she stomped in frustration.

"Have you heard ANYTHING I SAID?" Puck was close to beating that girl down at that moment but everyone in Glee club was engrossed in the power couple's argument.

"Yes I have Rachel but every single time I have a girlfriend that I am in love she cheats on me with Puck!" Finn shouted back at her. "And YOU were with another guy!"

"TO GET OVER YOU! I was dating Jesse so I could stop feeling so heartbroken after you..." Rachel searched for words in her brain furiously. "Discarded me!" Finn put up his hands.

"Stop using confusing words!" Rachel shrieked in frustration again.

"Finn! You either forgive me right now for what I did or I'm walking away from this relationship." Rachel crossed her arms in determination. Finn's eyes widened in surprise.

"Okay guys-"Mr Schuester tried to intervene but Rachel cut him off.

"Hold on Mr Schue. As much as it will hurt me if I don't get the answer I want, I have to know."Rachel sighed and Puck was watching the scene with interest now. "So Finn, what is going to be?" Finn kept on looking straight at her.

"I need some time." He finally said.

"No, I don't want you to string me along again. You've done that enough in the past. Do you want to be with me Finn? Or would you like to go and screw Santana?" Rachel was surprised at her use of language but she didn't show it. Finn kept on looking at her with an expression of deep concentration.

"Okay this is getting us nowhere." Mercedes interrupted after a minute of silence. "Not that I don't love all this drama but we have to practice for Regionals. Now Mr Schue I think that Rachel and Puck should have a duet because obviously Rachel and Finn are going through some issues. And Rachel is the best girl singer we have. Sorry Finn."Mercedes said.

"I agree. I think it will be a good idea." Quinn gave her opinion. Puck looked at everyone in Glee club and everyone was nodding. He got to his feet quickly and pointed at Rachel.

"Her? Sing with her? Are you freaking kidding me?" Puck's voice got panicky. "I can't sing with her. Finn man, make up with her, until Regionals. Then you can dump her!" Puck addressed the popular boy who grinned evilly.

"No, I think it's a great idea." Apparently no one saw the panic rising in Rachel's eyes. "Mr Schue, I will give up my solo to Puck. It will be good for me and Rachel to take a break from being the power couple for a few weeks." Everyone kept on agreeing. Everyone except for Rachel and Puck. Everyone ignored Puck because they knew what was saying but Rachel was becoming invisible at that moment. No one even noticed when she slowly made her way out of the room. She quietly closed the door and ran to the bathroom. There was no one in there so she went into the last empty stall and climbed the toilet seat and crouched down. Only then she started to hyperventilate.

"Okay, Puck you will sing a duet with Rachel." Mr Schue agreed with everyone. Puck slouched back in his chair irritated.

"Fine. But she better not annoy me." Puck mumbled.

"She's Rachel. She is always annoying."Tina said.

"Can we please stop talking about Rachel as if she's not in the room?" Mr Schue tried to make some peace.

"But Mr Schuester. She's not in the room." Santana said looking up from her nail file. Puck looked around and indeed found the annoying girl nowhere in sight.

"Huh. Where'd she go?" Finn asked.

"Oh who cares? Can we just do something already?" Tina said.

"I can open a jar of pickles with my legs." Britanny said. Everyone went quiet and looked at her. "I dance everyday that's why my legs are so strong." Everyone was still quiet.

"Oookay. Let's move onto the choreography okay guys?" Mr Schue interrupted the silence and everyone sighed relieved.

No one saw Rachel until Glee club was over. She was waiting in the parking lot for her dad and Puck of course had to be the last one out. He groaned inwardly when he saw her standing there alone but then human nature had to take over and he felt sorry for her. She was all alone and no one liked her. Well he liked her but only when they were making out. Or when she just smiled. Or when she started singing a nice song.

"Hey Berry." Puck's voice behind her startled Rachel. "Where'd you disappear off to during Glee?" She took a deep breath and straightened her skirt. Puck liked that habit of hers. She turned to face him. He couldn't see her face completely in the dark but he could tell there was something wrong. He took a step forward. "Berry you okay?" Rachel nodded.

"Fine. Just tired from all that drama with Finn." She sighed and turned back to look out for one of her fathers. Puck turned her around and he knew something was wrong. He just didn't know what. He brought his face closer to hers squinting his eyes and Rachel thought he was going to kiss her so she closed her eyes. When she did, Puck couldn't take his eyes off her.

"What's wrong Rachel?" He whispered and put his hand on her check. He felt they were slightly wet which could only mean one thing. Rachel cried. As if she got burned, Rachel stepped back and her eyes wide opened.

"I don't want to do a duet with you." She said not looking at him.

"Berry, you hurt my pride. I mean I'm not very fond of you either but still. That's a little bit rude."

"It's just...a duet could help mine and Finn's relationship and if I sing with you that might make me like you and I don't want to like you. I want to get back with Finn." She said in one breath. Puck stared at her for a few seconds and then he started laughing.

"Berry! You really aren't that stupid are you? Finn is always going to drag you along for the ride but in the end Finn is a Ken. And he is always going to be a Ken! That's why him and Quinn were so good together! But if you want to be with a dick then have fun. I'm not going to stop you." Puck said and turned to his car walking away from her. Rachel bit her lip, run up to him and pushed him against the car. Puck blinked. "Berry what the-?" Rachel cut him off by dragging his head down to hers and she gave him a long kiss. Puck didn't know what to do but he responded to her and she tried to open his mouth with her tongue but just then she jumped back. Puck was astonished by how aggressive Rachel could be at that moment. He blinked and saw why she jumped away. There was a car coming to the parking lot and Rachel was very flushed. She looked at Puck.

"Do you see why I don't want to do the duet with you now?" She asked him and stepped towards the other car. Puck was confused. He watched her and her father drive away and he got into his own car. Before he turned the engine though he sat there dumbfounded for a minute.

"Annoying as hell but damn she can kiss." He then smiled to himself in the mirror. "Hell yeah I'm a badass. And also, I am so not letting anyone else do a duet with her." He grinned.
