A/N: I do not own Glee!
Rachel was sitting in Glee as she normally did, waiting for the eventual degradation from the other Glee members. Finn and Quinn were sitting together again, I am happy for them. That sounds unlike me but Quinn and I have become friends and Finn has apologized for his treatment towards me. Noah and I have become close friends after the babygate. He calls or comes over almost every night. "Rachel, we are doing a Hip-Hop number and I need to know if you can do a hip-hop style dance." "I have many dance techniques but Hip-Hop is not in my repertoire." I was quite embarrassed that I didn't know that particular style dance. "Mike, can you teach Rachel?" Mike looked up from his ipod and nodded. "Ok, now that is settled lets go from the top!" As the rest of Glee was leaving Mike approached me. "Rachel, umm what nights are you free? To practice , I mean.." "Well Monday I have lyrical dance, and Tuesday I have vocal lessons. But all my other activities have ceased, therefore the rest of my week is free." He smiled. "Ok we will meet after Glee Wednesdays through Fridays then? and maybe some weekends and lunches. If that is ok with you? If you don't have dates or whatever." I cringed at the "D" word. "That seems fine and no I don't expect to have any dates within the next year, due to low social status. So see you tomorrow after school then?" He nodded and we both went our separate ways. I changed into proper dance attire before Glee ended as I walked in everyone stopped talking. "Whoa Berry, you look....." Puck started saying before Mike chimed in "totally hot...I mean temperature- wise. So ready to dance?" Pucks eyes narrowed. Does Chang like Rachel? Can you blame the guy? Rachel looked amazing today...she is amazing. Shit. Do I like Ber...Rachel? Nah She is just my friend. "Ok Rachel, We will start with the Pop-lock- and Drop" Mike said flatly. "Excuse me? I do not understand how dropping a lock is dancing." Mike slaps his forehead in frustration. "It is just called that here look." I watched him and quickly noticed the movements. "Like this?" Rachel copied the moves perfectly. "Yes! great job!" Rachel smiled in triumph. As they ran through more dance steps, they couldn't help but smile at each other. "Ok I think we should stop for today, you did great!" Mike was proud of Rachel for not giving up or being all diva. "Why thank you Mike, wow hip hop sure makes you hungry. And just so you know you are a great teacher." Mike lit up when he heard Rachel's comment. "Wanna go get some ice cream? it helps calm your muscles." "Well I highly doubt that, I would love to." Puck was sitting on his bed throwing his football up at the ceiling. I wonder what Berry is doing? She said she would text after she was done dancing, I better text her to make sure she is ok. As Rachel was ordering her phone beeped. She looked down at the message.
[Noah] Berry where are you? Rachel replied as Mike was ordering.
[*Berry*] Ice cream w/Mike. y? Puck suddenly typed a message back.
[Noah] Like a date?
Rachel didn't respond to his last text. Instead she listened to Mike talk about his dreams of becoming a doctor. They finished their Ice Cream and Mike drove Rachel home. "Thanks Mike I had a fun time!" Rachel said while sitting in front of her house. "I did too. I really like you Rachel. Do you wanna do this again?" Mike stuttered out. "You mean like a date?" "Yeah" Rachel smiled and nodded. As Rachel was about to leave Mike grabbed her hand , pulled her around and kissed her. The kiss lingered for a few seconds. "I will call you tonight. Bye Rachel" "Bye Mike" Rachel watched Mike drive away, when she turned around she saw an imposing figure. "Berry, can you explain what I just saw?"
