Better Than Revenge Chapter 1, a glee fanfic

Few things in life are 100% true in the life of Rachel Berry. Noah Puckerman is a true friend, Quinn Fabray is a bitch, but she's also someone you ALWAYS want in your corner, and Santana Lopez needed to be put in her place.

Finn and Rachel may no longer be in a relationship but that gave Quinn no right to tell Rachel it was a mistake, and that Finn and she never belonged together. This alone gave Rachel the right to hate her, when all the years of tormenting are added in,Rachel is ready for revenge.

"Mr. Schue?" Rachel had her hand poised in the air, her back straight, and refusing to look anywhere but at her intended target. "I have a song that I need to get off my chest." She confessed, already standing up before Mr. Schue gave her the okay. "Noah would you please play guitar?" She asked him sweetly cocking her head to the side and using a slight pout. "Duh Berry." He rolled his eyes stepping up to grab his guitar.

"Oh, Mr. Schue can we use the auditorium?" And with that the glee club headed to the auditorium, all excited to see what Rachel was doing.

"Now, this song has a few minor differences between my situation and the song itself however I feel like this will get the point across perfectly. I hope you all enjoy." She finished her statement with a wink in the direction of Finn and Santana who stood up straighter, wondering what exactly could be in store for them.

"Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did"

Rachel stood with her back to the audience, hands on her hips and a smile on her lips that only Puck could see.

"Time for revenge

The story starts when it was hot and it was summer and...
I had it all, I had him right where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage""

Santana's face had paled considerably as Rachel began her performance, without any barriers, Rachel's voice rang throughout the room, echoing the emotion she felt behind these words.

Her dance was pretty simple. A few spins and pouts, the song was mostly about facial expressions. She appeared more to be telling a story to Puck, who was on stage with her, grinning at the ballsy-ness of his best friend.

"I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating in me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from"

Rachel rested her arm on Noah's shoulder, grinning wickedly before starting out on a dance that mostly consisted of exhibiting her anger at the truth value of the song. Noah was nodding his head along with the beat, a shit-eating grin on his face.

"She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
But she's better known
For the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't
Make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge"

Rachel blew Santana a kiss before grabbing Noah and dancing with him across the stage, both of them twisting and twirling in a confusing muddle that just made sense somehow. They were organized chaos.

Santana meanwhile was still in shock. How could Manhands, the girl she'd tortured for the better part of 3 years, grow a pair so fast? Finn, on the other hand, seemed to be immune to the actual lyrics of the song (except for the fact that he believed this song was about him and not SANTANA and him) and was more or less, glaring at Puck as he danced with Rachel.

Rachel then released Puck, sending him spinning towards the guitar.

"She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
And she thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things"

Rachel waved cheekily to Santana.

"But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know
Or pushing people down to get to where you wanna go
They wouldn't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity"

Rachel waggled her finger in a disappointed manner before laughing and twirling towards Noah again.

Again the duo set off dancing and spinning during the instrumental, causing the audience to get up and move with them, everyone thoroughly enjoying the song, and the added burn of watching Santana finally get what's coming to her. Finn and Santana, however, remained glued to their seats, very pissed off, their anger growing. For Finn, Puck was dancing with HIS Rachel, as for Santana, Manhands was dancing with Puckerman, which was far from okay.

Once again Rachel went to release Noah, only to find that he'd already sent her off across the stage while he ran to get his guitar, laughing quietly all the while.

"I'm just another thing for you
To roll your eyes at, honey
You might have him but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you
To roll your eyes at, honey
You might have him but I always get the last word"

Before anyone could actually process what was happening, Rachel pressed her lips to Noah's, each of them devouring the other before a minute before the chorus would begin.

Santana and Finn just about fell out of their seats.

"She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
She's better known
For the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't
Make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge"

Again, Rachel and Puck set off on their chaotic mess of a dance, but this time their seemed to be more intimacy and passion in the steps as Rachel belted out the words. Noah was smirking while Rachel was grinning at him.

Santana was glowering at the couple, debating internally whether or not she should leave and return for revenge at a later time. Finn was planning on breaking Puck's face the first chance he got.

The rest of the glee club, however was dancing around each other in gigantic smiles plastered on everyone's faces. In a few moments they'd debate who won the bet over Puckelberry and Sinn.

This time when Rachel and Noah went to separate, Noah's arms tighten around Rachel, keeping them together.

"Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?
'cause I don't think you do.
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?
I don't think you do
I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
Come on show me how much better you are (so much better, yeah)
So you deserve some applause 'cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"

The applause was deafening when Rachel finished her performance, sealing the ending with another kiss from Noah. "NOW THAT!" Mr. Schue boomed, "Was what we're looking for!" He intoned, quieting his voice. However, before anyone could comment, Finn had launched himself at Puck. "NOAH!" Rachel cried out while Santana had grumbled, "FINN!" The two girls diving into the fight to separate the boys.

Rachel ended up in front of Noah, soothing him with calming words, while on the other side of the stage lay Santana yelling at Finn for not standing up for her and something like that. The two stomped off, leaving the building and heading to God knows where.

Rachel was left with Noah, both unaware of their audience. "So, that kiss," Noah rubbed his head. "Sorry!" Rachel said guiltily, "I know Santana will always have a thign for you and I-" Noah cut her off by smothering her mouth with his own. "I was gonna say it was fucking awesome Rachel. And since I know you're an all or nothing girl, wanna hit Breadstix at 7 tonight? Then we'll go to them movies?" He smiled and his eyebrow quirked, a thing he knew she loved. "I would love to Noah." Rachel smiled and she and Noah leaned into kiss, pulling away when they heard Kurt scream, "PAY UP BITCHES! I TOLD YOU, PUCKELBERRY IS ENDGAME!"
