Chapter 1:
Rachel leaned against the pillar inconspicuously as Finn and Quinn stood inches from each other. It was just like last year minus a cheerios uniform. She then seen a familiar shape sauntering towards her. ''Get over yourself Rachel!'' Puck said to her. She seen a slushie in his hand, though she was long past the days when she feared Puck splashing one on her.
''I don't know what you're talking about Puckerman, ''She scowled,' who's the slushie for?''
''Aw, I'm just gonna throw it at some dweeb,'' he seen her face and said quickly, ''kidding, Rachel! Jeez. No, actually it's for Lauren.''
''When are you gonna give up, and realize that she's playing you! She just wants what your money. Or food. ''
''Ok, I came over to give friendly advice! No wonder Finn dropped you like a hot potato.'' He said angrily.
He stomped off without another word.
She watched Finn and Quinn until breaktime was over. She had English next class, and now that she had annoyed Puck, would probably have to suffer some spitballs. Sure enough when she walked in many spitballs and paper snowballs hit her. She heard Puck shout, ''What the hell are you doing?''
''What? I- Noth-'' she tried to say but Puck cut her off.
''Have I not made it clear before Karofsky , that no-one messes with glee club anymore. Berry, sit down,'' he said, and gestured to the seat beside him.
''Thank you , Puck, that was very noble, of you,'' she smiled.
''Whatever , Berry.''
The rest of the class Rachel felt she owed something to Puck who, unlike Finn, stood up for her. So when she seen he was struggling, she helped him- or rather, let him copy her.
When English was over, their teacher set them homework, which Rachel promised Puck she would do for him, to say thankyou.
Rachel walked with Puck and Finn to Algebra. Behind them someone was laughing and screaming: ''Puckerman's trying to get some of Big Schnauze Boy Hips!''
''Hey, leave her alone!'' Finn said. Puck, on the other hand turned and pushed him into a wall.
''I know all about you, and I might just let a certain secret slip to Jacob Ben Israel.' Puck smirked.
The football player immediately backed away. Rachel looked really upset.
''Rachel don't listen to them. Your hips are hot!'' Puck assured her, ''And as I've told you before, you have to accept that your nose is just part of your Jewish heritage.
When they reached the door of their algebra class, Finn asked Puck why he hadn't left for the nurses room yet. He replied, '' The new nurse sucks. She doesn't let you sleep. She just sends you home and that means I miss Glee club meetings.''
''Oh…''
The rest of the day passed uneventfully. Glee sucked too. At three thirty, Puck's cell rang.
''Mike? What's up?''He wondered.
''Dude, come down here quick! Seriously, there's too many of them, I can't take them all! Get Finn and Sam! They're going to seriously injure her! I'm at school, bottom field!''
''What's-''
''Hurry up Puck! ''
Mike hung up. Puck wasn't going to sit there. Mike had sounded really urgent. He rang Finn. Get ready. I'm picking you up now dude. Be outside!''
He said almost the same thing to Sam. Mike rang again, even more urgent this time. ''Please Puck, hurry up!'' He sounded close to tears.
Less than two minutes later Puck, Finn and Sam were jumping out of Puck's truck. Now he knew what was going on. Azimio , Karofsky and some other guys were pushing a porta potty around. ''Who's in it?'' Puck asked Mike, who was trying to get them to stop.
''Rachel! The gave her a real beating first though!''
Puck sprinted over to the porta potty. ''What the hell are you doing?''He asked Karofsky.
''She insulted me, said I sucked at football!''
Puck ripped open the door to the porta potty. Rachel-like himself when rolled around in one of these- was unconscious. Her face was bloody and her clothes were too. Puck almost threw up. He lifted her out and told Sam to put her in the truck. Sam did as he was told and Mike went with him, but Finn stayed at Puck's side. ''You really should have got your nose broken when you made my boy transfer schools. But you didn't, because I just have a great big heart. This is too far though.'' He drew his fist back to hit Karofsky but Azimio and Jonah, a hockey player, was at his aid.
'I can take them. I'm the hardest dude in this school. Maybe I could get Finn to help? Or call Lauren, yeah she would be much better than Finn! No, not enough time.' Puck thought.
He wasn't going to let them get away with it. No way. He charged at them, knocking Jonah over and winding Azimio. He then punched Karofsky in the face. Finn was standing like an idiot until Puck said, ''DUDE! Help me,'' Finn was a good help.
Puck and Finn ran off then, because Coach Sylvester was walking towards her car. She seen the trio lying on the ground and said to them, ''What's this? Make out session in porta potty gone wrong?'' And walked off, without saying another word.
In the back of puck's truck, Rachel was coming around. Mike was driving. ''Should we take her to the ER?''He asked worriedly.
''Yeah.'' Puck replied. Rachel's head was on his knees, and the rest of her body on Sam.
''Puck? '' Rachel asked, dazed.
''Rach, we're taking you to the emergency room.''
''NO!'' she cried.
''We have to! You're nose is broken.''
They arrived at the emergency room and went to the little desk at the front. ''Puck? What the hell is this?'' the woman asked.
''Mom, I'll tell you later. Can Rachel see a doctor?'' He gestured towards Rachel, who he and Mike were holding up.
''Ok, um come this way.'' She led the way to a little nurses room.
'Noah , out here, now! What happened?'' Puck's mother asked.
