Note from the author: This is an AU fanfiction about Quinn and Puck. I wrote this sort of as a way to finally put a memory of mine into words. So yeah, it's fanfiction but it's also a bit non-fiction because this story is based off of my real life. Also, I'm posting this as a celebration of my graduation, which was today. Congratulations to all classes of 2011. Enjoy your summer and please enjoy this and review!


Quinn Fabray's the visitor and a top-notch private school in Pennsylvania. She's brilliant so her mother and step-father have decided to send her to the William McKinley Preparatory School for their "enhanced" curriculum. She's a bit nervous but the butterflies in her stomach begin to stop flapping their wings so hard when Mrs. Schmidt, the head of admissions, welcomes a boy into her office.

McKinley has a "buddy" program, in which a student is assigned a visitor for the day. The buddy shows the student around and takes them to all their classes and sort of gives them a feel for what McKinley is like. As fate would have it, Quinn gets assigned Puck one beautiful May day.

Noah Puckerman is charming, funny, great at French, and a talented musician. He sports a white oxford, navy necktie with the school's logo on it, and a freshly ironed pair of khaki pants. He's in tenth grade and only 15, but that's because he's got a summer birthday. He'd just won the student council election held the week before for eleventh grade representative. He's basically a spokesmen for the school, seeing as he's quite smart and great with adults. He only goes by Puck because his family's converted from Judaism to Christianity and his friends insist that Noah is a Jewish name.

Puck's got the duty of showing her around for the day, which is great for him, considering it'll make his day a little less boring. First, he takes her to art class. They're learning shading. Puck's got a knack for art but his intelligence seems to be lowered by the dumb jock sitting at their table who just happens to be his best friend, Finn. Puck and Finn can't help but notice Quinn's, to put it their way, hot. She's petite, her eyes are a deep chocolate brown that anyone could get lost in, and her hair is strawberry blonde. According to her, it's usually blonde, but in the winter when the sun is gone, it looks somewhat red. [Pay attention to that fact. It's important later.]

Finn and Puck are the immature kind of boys who can't help but make a few dirty remarks in front of Quinn during art. Finn's in all of Puck's classes so the immaturity goes on throughout the day. At lunch, the boys are laughing their asses off at something not that funny when Finn jokingly says "Hey, don't be a douche to the visitor." Puck chuckles like he always does at Finn but he really hopes he's being polite because, man, this girl's gorgeous. Finn's only said what he said to distract her from the fact that they're both equally as immature. Finn's just a likeable guy so it's less noticeable. Neither can pinpoint a specific thing they like the most about her, but they just both know that if she decides to transfer, she should expect rapid-fire-flirting.

At the end of the day, the boys have basketball practice but before they go change in the locker room, Puck's got the duty of walking Quinn to the administrative office. "So you think you'll like it here?" He questions, looking down the empty hall as he walks. She smiles and replies that she probably will. After all, he's pretty cute and the school's so small that everyone is welcoming of new students. When they arrive at Mrs. Schmidt's office again, he gives her final goodbye for the day as well as a hello to her mother. When he leaves for basketball, his palms are sweaty but he ignores it, thinking it's only because it's so hot out. In that moment he thinks to himself that if Quinn does in fact come to WMPS, he'll probably just be another girl he and Finn flirt with constantly. He doesn't realize that he just fell in love.
