Author's Note: Hello shuckers, this my first Glee fanfic and obviously is a Shuck story. This one begins on season 1 before regionals, because I wanted to write about all the Beth's adoption scenes we didn't see, and also because as we all know they are a lot of plot holes around the whole Puck/Quinn/Beth storyline on season 2. I hope you'll like it. I wanna thank my amazing beta reader BadassMotherShucker94 for all the help she's giving me :)

Enjoy guys! and please leave a review!

I must have done something right along the way

He still remembers the first time he saw her and wished he could change the situation that had brought them together.

There he was standing in Figgins' office with Finn, Artie, Mike and Mr. Schue. Everyone was upset and an awkward silence filled the room. Puck decided to look at the floor. He didn't want to make eye contact with anyone, especially Finn, who would start laughing, which would only cause more trouble.

Shelby Corcoran was standing next to Mr. Schue. She hadn't said a word since she arrived, but she looked upset. She crossed her arms and took a deep breath before starting to talking: "Your kids ripped the tires of my students Range Rovers, do you know how much they have to pay to replace them?" she explained, obviously angry, but without raising her voice.

"Shelby, I know they're sorry for what they did, right guys?" Mr Schue said, staring at the four guys. They didn't answer, because they weren't sorry. Even if they always seemed to hate Rachel, deep inside they did care for her, and they couldn't stand the fact that some other kids had hurt her.

"I'm not!" Finn confessed. "Rachel didn't deserved that, it doesn't matter how annoying she can be, what your kids did, Ms. Corcoran, was awful and we are not sorry."

Mr Schue sighed, feeling disappointed.

Finally, after hearing what everyone had to say, Figgins decided to speak, "It doesn't matter William, what they did was vandalism, I have to suspend them." The awkward silence filled the room once again. Noah kept staring at his shoes, exchanging a few nervous glances with Artie and others with Finn, hoping their teacher would come up with a solution to their problem.

"If we get suspended does that mean the Vocal Adrenaline guys will get suspended too?" Artie asked.

Figgins shrugged "That is not our business, they are not McKinley High students."

Shelby sighed again, "Look, we can arrange something, right? It's not fair that they'll miss Regionals," she paused before smiling slightly, "After all, they are our only competition, if they don't go winning won't be the same," she joked.

"Did she really just say that? I guess we know why Rachel is such a bitch sometimes, her mother is just like that." Thought Noah.

"Well Ms. Corcoran what do you suggest?" Figgins asked.

She smiled once again, "What if they change the tires for free?"

Puck raised his head "We can do that!"

Schue scratched the back of his head "I can talk to Burt Hummel, and you guys can fix the trucks there, how does that sound?" He wasn't sure about the suggestion, but it was easier than writing reports. "And, if Ms. Corcoran is fine with it, I guess the kids can repair the cars."

Puck and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and started to exit the office, when Mr. Schue stopped them, "Wait, apologize to Ms. Corcoran, all of you" he demanded. Finn grabed the doorknob tightly. He didn't want to do that especially since the Carmel studetns hadn't apologized to Rachel.

"We are sorry Miss C," Artie said. "We shouldn't have done that, we should have spoke to Mr. Schue about what happened to Rachel."

Shelby smiled, "I apologize to you as well, I have to admit my students started everything." She gave Finn a friendly pat on the shoulder, "And, good luck at Regionals."

"She's not that bad," Mike said, as they headed back to the choir room. "She kinda helped us."

Puck and Artie nodded but Finn wasn't convinced about her. "I don't know guys I still don't like her," he admited looking at his shoes.

Rachel heard them talking outside and ran to towards them "Is everything ok?" she asked smiling.

Finn nodded "Yeah, we have to replace the tires for free but at least we didn't get suspended."

She hugged the four young men, "You shouldn't have done that."

"You guys better get back to the choir room before Figgins changes his mind," Puck said walking to his locker. "I'll be there in a sec, I forgot something."

Shelby was leaving the school when she saw Noah looking for something in his locker. They exchanged looks for a brief second before Puck deciced to say something: "Goodbye Miss Corcoran, and sorry about, you know, everything."

Shelby turned around, and smiled at him, "Goodbye Noah and please, behave."

Puck kept looking at her until she had left the building, "Damn she's hot," he said to himself, smiling.
