Were you just kidding
'Cause it seems to me
This thing is breaking down
We almost never speak
-Forever & Always by Taylor Swift

"Hey, Noah," Rachel greet him, bitterly. Puck looked at her from the corner of his eyes, "What do you want?" he ask, his back leaning against his truck, his head was focusing on a scene. The Finn&Quinn scene. Rachel turn her gaze slightly toward the couple and back to him. "I need your help," she beamed.

Puck immediately change his attention towards the petite girl, "What kind of help?" he ask again, entering his truck. Rachel gulped, "Can you give me a ride home?" she ask, her eyes locks in his. He rolls his eyes, "Why should I?". Rachel shifted uncomfortably, "Can I explain later?" her eyes pleaded.

It took about a good 20 seconds for Puck to nod, "Hop in,"

Puck turn his gaze back again at Finn&Quinn. They were kissing and Finn was joking about something which made her laugh. Rachel look at what he was looking, too. Feeling her heart broken inside her chest. "I never seems to forget about him," she said, resting her back, sighing. Puck starts the engine, literally avoiding the conversation. Rachel was quiet along the way, too.

"So, wanna tell me why exactly am I giving you a ride?"

Rachel look at him, a small smile appears in her face, "I don't have a ride home, Noah," she said, looking down, a little embarrassed. "Why?" he ask. "My father is a busy man," she simply reply, looking outside the window. "Both of them?" he raise an eyebrow. Rachel simply nod, "They aren't always at home and I missed my bus today. So, when I saw you were available of giving me a ride home, I came to you," she said, "Is that okay with you?"

Puck nod, "Yah, I guess," he shrugged.

After a few minutes of silence, Puck spoke up, "Is it hard?"

"What?"

"Is it hard for you to take a bus? I mean, you're always bragging about being a star and I'm always picturing you riding a good, fancy car- never a bus,"

Rachel giggles. "Right. I see your taking an interest in my dreams,"

Puck snorted, "Yah, whatever," but couldn't help himself form actually smiling. "How about we made a deal. I gave you a ride home and sent you to school everyday and for a change, you'll be my girlfriend,"

Rachel look at him, mostly confused, "I d-don't understand,"

"Don't bullshit me, Berry. Think of it as a favor, you can make Finn jealous and he probably want you back," he smile. What a brilliant idea he thought to himself. Rachel thinks, "So, you're playing me?" she ask. Puck wasn't sure to nod or deny it.

"Well, it's not really playing you,"

"It's a game of gambling with feelings. It sounds pretty much like playing,"

They sat on silence. Shit he tells himself.

"Never mind, then," he said, finally giving up.

Rachel look at him, feeling guilty, "I do need a ride," she mutter under her breath. "Do you really love her, Noah?" she ask out of curiosity.

Puck didn't respond.

"You know who," she stated. "But if it is that important to you, I guess I can do that,". Puck look at her, "What?" he ask, disbelief. "I'll be your girlfriend," she said, "and I guess I can finally had Finn back. " she exclaims, in a okay-whatever-you-say kind of tone.

"Are you over him?" Puck questioned her.

Rachel shrugs, "I don't know Noah," she said, "I like him- I do! But I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of being the needy or desperate girl . Sure, I still have feelings for him but I just knew it was going no where. It's like, no matter how many time I try, I'll fail," she explains. "It's just, so tiring, you know,"

Puck thinks of what she had say.

"We're here," Rachel told him. Puck pull over and watches as Rachel slowly opens the door. "So, maybe we can get together, get to know each other and be a fake couple?" she ask, smiling. Puck look at her, "Nah," he said, "I'll meet you tomorrow, kiss you , be actually nice to you and be whatever sweet boyfriend that girls always wanted me to be,"

"That's sounds nice," Rachel beamed.

"Oh yah, did you copy the note in Science? 'Coz I have this major big test tomorrow,"

Rachel stop, "Yah, sure," she said, "As long as you return it tomorrow, I'll be fine," she hand him the paper. Puck examined it, "Cool," he muttered. "Tomorrow, Puckerman," Rachel pointed. Puck sigh, "yah, sure. Promise,". "You know, study last minute isn't healthy, Noah," she said. Puck manage to grin, "Jeez, you sound like my mom," which made Rachel to let out a short giggle.

"So, see you tomorrow?" Rachel look at him and their eyes met.

Puck look through her brown eyes, "Yah," he whispers.

Rachel lean in and kiss his cheek. "Thank you," she manage to whisper in his ears.

Puck nod and look down. He saw Rachel walk to her house from the corner of his eyes. Then, he started to drive away. He manage to peek on his rear view mirror to see Rachel's figure. When he saw her walking inside, safely, he turn attention back at the road. "Your welcome, Berry," he say, at last.

I'm bored. So, I made this. It was inspired by some stories, I guess. Thanks for reading!
