Chapter 1: Sunny Side Up
"Do it!" I said looking up at him; pain, anger, and humiliation showing in my eyes.
As much as I hated the idea of another baby chick being condemned to death on my perfect skin, the end of a once promising life, would also be the end of a once budding romance, mine and Jesse's. As I felt the cracking of another egg being smashed on to my forehead, I began to cry. They all turned and left, leaving me standing there alone in the parking lot. At least I thought I was alone.
"Rachel?" he asked looking at me just standing there, my tears mixing with the sticky yokes on my cheeks.
"Go away Noah." I said keeping my teeth clenched tightly together.
"Come on." he said wrapping his arm around me leading me back into the school.
Instead of fighting it, I let my body fall into his, letting him guide me to the girls' bathroom. He leaned me up against the wall and I watched him as he moistened paper towels and began wiping my cheeks.
"Why are you doing this Noah?" I asked looking up at him grabbing his wrist.
"Because Berry, we have Glee practice in ten minutes and it will be unbearable with you reeking of egg." He smirked as he removed my hand from its embrace and began wiping the egg from my hair.
"You shouldn't be in here. If we get caught…"
"We won't Berry now stop. I'm here to help not talk."
"But why? A few months ago it would have been you throwing eggs at me. I would have believed it if it were you and not Jesse."
"Look Rachel. I know I have this reputation and for the most part everything you hear is true. I do have sex, and lots of it and I have been known to break a few hearts. Not only do I beat up on geeks I steal their lunch money too. And maybe more than once I have run from the cops."
I frowned as I watched a sarcastic smile appeared across his face as he remembered.
"But that is not who I am. I mean that is Puck, but you Berry, you know me as Noah and deep down inside I'm not the prick that everyone knows me as. You know a side of me that I'm afraid to admit exists. It scares me but when I'm with you, you make it alright to be Noah."
I smiled. "Noah Puckerman this is a new side of you. Why can't you be like this all the time?"
"Because Rachel, I like being Puck and I will not change for anyone not myself, my mom, or you." He threw down the paper towel and walked over to another sink and took a deep breath when he looked at himself in the mirror.
"It's ok, Puck." I almost stuttered when I called him by his favored nickname and I could not think of when I ever called him by it. "I like you just the way you are. You don't have to change if you're happy being Puck, just don't lose Noah in all that mess. I'll miss him too much.
Oh your eyes, your eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
your hair, your hair
Looks perfectly without you trying
You're so beautiful
I believe it every day
Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment you
You wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think you don't see what I see
But every time you asks me do I look okay
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause Puck you're amazing
Just the way you are
Your nails, her nails
I could kiss them all day if you'd let me
Your laugh, your laugh
You hate but I think its so sexy
You're so beautiful
I see it every day
Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause Puck you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Puck you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause Puck you're amazing
Just the way you are
"That was beautiful Rachel." he said looking up at me.
"Look at me! I'm a mess! How can I go to Glee looking like this?" I laughed. He had successfully removed all the egg from my face and most of it from my hair but my sweater was a total loss.
"Here." Puck said removing his t-shirt and handing it to me.
"What am I supposed to do with this?" I asked blushing at seeing Noah shirtless.
"Put it on." He said looking at me matter of factly. "Just put it on over your shirt so no one will see the egg and you won't get it all over the place." He added when I just stood their staring.
"But what about you?" I asked still blushing but finally taking the shirt from him.
"I'll be fine, besides I like going shirtless anyways. But if it bothers you that much I have an extra in my football locker." he said laughing.
"It's not that I mean well I mean the teachers might not approve I mean I know it's after school but I mean…"
Puck leaned over and kissed me. It was so sweet and soft. It wasn't anything like when we had made out in my bed. The kiss got a little heated and I leaned into his chest as he lifted my chin to make the kiss deeper. Just then we were interrupted by the last person I could have wished for.
"Puckerman! Berry! To the Principal Figgin's office now!" yelled a very angry Sue Sylvester.
