Chapter 1
"What are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doing?" responded Rachel with an exasperated sigh.
When he continued glaring at her, she elaborated.
"I'm practicing my steps Noah. Our next performance is tonight, you know that."
He scoffed at her choice of word - performance. She was the only person he knew who would call it that. As she jumped into the air, he couldn't help but notice the way her top stuck to her, or the way her skirt floated up, giving him the tiniest glimpse of her underwear. He found himself swallowing, hard. This was bad - really bad.
"So what, you're a Cheerio now?"
Before he knew it, it was game time. Slipping on his shirt, he sighed in frustration. He tried not to, but throughout the day, and now once again, his thoughts drifted to Rachel Berry. Why I am thinking about her? he thought angrily. Sure, she looked hot in that outfit, but that didn't mean he wanted to be her friend. Or more.
"Now gentleman, I want you to go out there and WIN!" yelled Tanaka.
As Puck and Finn made their way out onto the field to warm up for the game, Finn stopped suddenly. Puck followed his eye-line, and found the reason Finn was staring, drooling almost. Rachel Berry. Giving him a not-so friendly push, he spoke.
"Can you believe it man? Berry, a Cheerio?"
"Quinn asked her," said Finn quickly, snapping out of his daze.
"Quinn hates Berry."
"I don't know man," shrugged Finn. "All she said was they needed a replacement. Quinn's been helping her with the steps."
"And Slyvester agreed?"
"I guess so. If they want to win, they need her."
Both watched as Rachel jumped into the air, cheering along with Britney and Santana. Rachel looked over at them, and gave Finn a small smile.
"She's good," noted Finn in an admiring tone that Puck found himself disliking.
Shaking himself out of it, he gave Finn another shove.
"Let's go dude - Tanaka's gonna have a fit if we don't warm up properly."
Stretching, Puck tried to not think about Rachel Berry. What was she doing there? It was driving him mad. And Slyvester had to have an ulterior motive in letting Rachel on the squad, he thought. Sure, she might be good for the squad, but she was a gleek through and through, not a Cheerio.
