A Puckleberry story. In this story, Quinn isn't pregnant. I don't own any of the characters or Glee. Hope you enjoy!


Rachel Berry woke up that morning with a smile on her face. She didn't know the exact reason, but she figured it had something to do with her dream about Finn. He had finally told her he wanted her, and they kissed sweetly in the rain. Of course, this was far from reality. She tried everything to get Finn to like her as more then a friend, but nothing seemed to work.

She realized that maybe it was time to move on. But, move on to whom? It's not like she had guys knocking on her door for a date. As she looked in her mirror, she wondered why she seemed to repel boys. She shrugged, and then put on a blue plaid skirt, her favorite knee socks, and white blouse. She did her usual morning routine, ate breakfast, said goodbye to her dads, grabbed her keys, and went out to her car.

Rachel got to school early as always, to work on her singing, of course. After she practiced for about a half an hour, she headed to her locker. When she opened her locker, she saw through her mirror Quinn and Finn kissing. Her smile she had disappeared. She guessed that they were back together after a brief split. "Sucks doesn't it?" she heard someone say. She moved her locker to see Puck standing there, without a slushie in hand, a rare occasion for Noah Puckerman.

"What does?" she asked, like she didn't know. "I see you looking at Finn, Berry, you're not fooling anyone." he said with a smirk. She didn't say anything. "You know, I used to like Quinn, then I realized, she's really not that pretty or exciting, and plus, she's Finn's girlfriend, I'm not that low." he said. "Really? I thought you went for any girl, as long as she would put out for you." Rachel said shutting her locker.

"Ooh, burn. You know Berry, if you would give me the chance, you would see there's more to this stud then meets the eye." Puck said, looking into her eyes. God, her eyes are amazing...wait, Puck, you sound like a chick, knock it off! Puck thought. "Are you hitting on me?" she asked. "If you want me to be, then I am, if you don't want me to be, then I'm not." he replied with another smirk.

"Oh, I see." she managed to say. She knew she was probably blushing. Finn was cute, but Puck, Puck was hot. "Plus, if you give me a chance, maybe Finn would be jealous. Trust me, I know my best friend, and he gets jealous easily. And sleeping with his best friend would be a good way to make him jealous." Puck said. "What? I'm not sleeping with you, Puck." Rachel said.

"That's what you say now Berry, but that will change, trust me." Puck said. "Yeah okay, well, I wouldn't sleep with anyone I didn't love." Rachel said. "Neither would I." he said. She laughed. "Okay, maybe that was a lie...so will you go out with me?" he asked. She pretended she was thinking. Maybe this would get Finn to realize his feelings for her.

"Sure," she answered. "Great." he said, trying to sound uninterested even though he was more then interested. "But, on one condition." Rachel said. His eyebrows went up. "What?" he asked. "Don't be such a bad boy. You can let your feelings out sometime, Noah, I won't mind." she said. He didn't know what to say. "Okay, Berry." he said simply. "Oh, and my name is Rachel, and my eyes are up here." she said, noticing he was looking at her chest.

"I know... I was just looking at your other features." he said with a sly smile. She giggled. "So when do you want to go out?" he asked. "Whenever you want," she said. "Okay, how about we go get a slushie after Glee today, then I'll take you on a real date Friday night." he said. "Okay, sounds good. It'll be nice to actually drink a slushie instead of licking it off my face." she said.

He felt a large pang of guilt. "Yeah, about that, I'm sorry Rachel. I'll never do that again, and there's not an excuse for it." he said. "Noah, it's okay, it's over with." she said. "No it's not okay, because I hurt you and now I wish I hadn't." he said. "I said it's okay." she said touching his arm, his very muscular arm. He smiled. "Oh, Finn is looking this way, you want to make him jealous a little right now?" he asked.

"It was kind of nice just talking." she said. "Yeah, but if you want to really stick it to him," he said moving closer to her. "I guess so," she said as she looked up into his eyes. At the same time, they leaned into one another and shared a long, slow, gentle kiss. As Puck pulled away, Rachel's head was spinning. She didn't feel like that when Finn had kissed her. Puck felt the same way. He'd never felt like that when kissing any of the other girls he'd kissed.

"Wow," they both said at the same time. They walked away, talking. Neither of then noticed the rage in Finn's eyes.


My first Glee Fanfic! I'm not sure how long it's going to be, but I know I want to add another chapter soon. I've got exams this week so it will probably be a few days until I update again, but please review! (:
