This was his first year as a teacher. He'd finally gotten out of school, and until his music career boomed, he decided, Glee and gym class worked for him. He had two hours during the day with no classes, and he used one of those slots for Glee. The other was just his 'planning period.' But almost everyone knew he rarely 'planned.' He got to his classroom half an hour before school started. He didn't really know what to do with his time, so he just kinda wondered over to the other two gym teachers.

"Hi, I'm Noah," he smiled and put his hand out.

The first teacher, a girl with small muscles in a sports bra and capris, shook his hand, "Hi Noah. I'm Michelle."

The second teacher, a guy with muscles almost as big as his own, shook his hand too, "'Sup Noah, the name's Dan."

He felt intimidated already. He shoved his hands in his pockets, "I just wanted to introduce myself. I don't really know what we're supposed to do right now." He worried he looked as shy, distressed, and unconfident as he felt.

Michelle laughed, "Well most teachers gather their stuff, or go talk to someone in the building, or plan lessons, or grade papers. You can pretty much choose."

He smiled at them, "Thanks."

There was only one teacher he knew in this school. He had gone to high school with her, and lets say, they got pretty close once or twice. He left the gymnasium and walked to the art class down the hall. He knocked on her door, "Hey Quinn."

"Hi Puck. When did you start here?"

"Oh, today's my first day. I'm a gym teacher and I'm doing Glee."

She laughed a little, "I remember when we were in Glee. Ah, that was fun."

I chuckled, "Ha! Remember Will? Gosh he was in love with that group."

She smiled, "And remember how Terri was always all over him."

"Yeah. Didn't you date him before, you know?"

She nodded, "Yeah. You know, he works here."

"He does?"

"Yeah, he's the Spanish teacher, and a Glee teacher. He married Terri. Weird huh?"

"Yeah," he frowned. "I guess we're both gonna teach Glee together. Well, I should get going, kids are gonna start coming soon, right?"

"Mhm," she smiled. "Bye, Puck."

"See ya later Quinn."

He walked back to the gym, sitting in his chair he thought about what he and Quinn had in high school. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. He liked to think he matured enough, maybe she'd like him more now. No, she was probably with someone. Maybe that Isaiah kid she liked after she had their kid? Who knew.

Students started coming in. One by one they filled the rows, sitting in their own sitting arrangement. The bell rang and he took out the list to call attendance. "Hi, I'm your new teacher, Mr. Puckerman."

A few cheerleaders laughed. "Seriously? Puckerman? What a ridiculous name," this hispanic girl with a dark brown, almost black ponytail said.

"Yeah, I know. Weird name. In high school they called me Puck. I hated my first name."

A girl in clothes that looked a couple years to young for her raised her hand. "What is your first name Mr. Puckerman?"

"Noah. Now, attendance. Rachel Berry?" the girl with the weird clothes raised her hand. "Tina Cohen-Chang?" an Asian girl dressed in all black raised her hand. He went through a couple other names. "Finn Hudson?" this really tall guy raised his hand. "Kurt Hummel?"

"I'm here Mr. Puckerman."

Gay, obviously. A couple more people, random boring, uninteresting people. Then an interesting name. "Santana Lopez?" the girl that criticized his name raised her hand, and winked at him. Some more uninteresting people. "Brittany Pierce?"

"What? I swear, it wasn't me."

He marked her as here. "Ok, today, we're gonna play dodgeball. Boys against girls, then I'm gonna split the groups in half, and have half girls half boys."

"Cool with me," Finn said.

He took them to a smaller gym outside the gymnasium. They helped themselves to the dodgeballs and started playing. He sat there and watched them. He totally would have been with that Santana girl in high school. It didn't matter though. He waited until he split them and put some boys and girls on both teams, then he pulled out his phone and texted his girlfriend, Lauren.

'Hey babe.' In high school she'd been kinda, heavy, but with his help, she got just as skinny as Quinn. But she still wasn't Quinn.

'Sup Puck?'

'School.'

'I can't believe you went back to high school.'

'Yeah, I think it's crazy too. I gotta go, the bell rang.'

'See ya later.'

'Yeah, later.'

He did the same thing with all his classes, until finally it was time for Glee club. He walked in before any other students, and saw Will. "Hey Schuester."

"Hi Puck. Didn't think you'd be here."

"Yeah, being a teacher isn't something I would have thought I would have been. It wasn't my plan, but I guess I'm your co-director."

"That's cool. These are good kids. Most everyone in this school hates Glee, it's not like when we were here. It's their second year, last year we lost Regionals, so we could really use your help, with your skills with instruments."

He smiled, "Yeah, happy to help."

Kids started coming in. The bell rang and Will walked to the front of the class, "Everyone, this is Mr. Puckerman." He recognized some of these kids, Rachel, Tina, Finn, Kurt, Santana and Brittany. The other kids he didn't recognize.

"Yeah, I have some of them in my gym class."

"Oh, well. That's cool. Finn, did you get that Sam guy to join?"

"He said he would, but he didn't show up, obviously."

Then this blonde kid with a really big mouth came in, "Sorry, I'm late. I had to get something from my locker to give Coach Sylvester."

Will nodded, "That's fine. Please sit down. And welcome to Glee club!"

This black girl raised her hand, "Mr. Schue, can I please get the next solo. I am so sick of everything going to Rachel."

"I'm sorry if you are not as skilled as I am Mercedes, but it just happens to be that I am more talented, so logically they would give all the female roles to me."

Puck frowned, "Lemme hear you both sing."

Rachel frowned, "Seriously?"

He nodded, "Yeah. How 'bout the two of you sing The Boy is Mine?"

Mercedes and Rachel smiled, "Sure."

They both walked up. The music started and they started. At the end of the song he said, "I think you are both equally amazing. Maybe you can both have solos."

Will smiled at him, "Wow you handle this better than I do."

"What can I say? I'm smooth with the ladies. Always have been. And you know that."

Will laughed, "Yeah, that's true."

The rest of the class Will showed them some songs he had in mind. They weren't nuts about any of them. The bell rang, signaling the end of the day. He walked out to his car and Rachel ran up behind him.

"Um, excuse me Mr. Puckerman. Would you mind helping me after school tomorrow with a song?"

He thought about it for a second, "Sure."

"Thanks."

Puck got home and opened the door to his apartment. He heard something coming from the bedroom and wondered over there. He opened the door to find his girlfriend and this twit from high school, Bryan Ryan. "What the fuck! Get out! NOW!"

Bryan got his clothes and quickly left. Puck sat on the couch and put his face in his hands. Lauren came out and put her arm around him. He shook his shoulders and her arm fell. "Get out. Get your stuff and leave."

"But where am I going to go?" she asked, her eyes watering.

"I don't know, I don't care. You have an hour."
