Chapter 1

"I'd like to introduce to you guys, our newest member, Noah Puckerman. I'm sure some of you guys know him from football," announced Mr. Shue.

"Hi," Noah said while wearing a badass face. He did not want the glee club to ruin his reputation as the number one badass of McKinley, but the glee club needed more members to compete in sectionals and Finn literally dragged him into auditioning. Apparently, he convinced Noah that they needed a voice like his to win. Well, obviously it was not entirely because Finn said his voice was the key to winning Sectionals that year. He was not stupid, okay maybe academically. But he was not that naive to believe that the glee club was going to win because of him being in the team. There was something that made him want to join. Finn knew him well enough.

"You can take a seat Noah. Now," "It's Puck," Noah interrupted Mr. Shue before grabbing a seat next to Finn. "Okay, Puck. Now, let's begin our lesson."

Blaine was puzzled, he had not seen Noah around before, " You know that guy?"

"Yeah, he's like one of the popular guys in school, well, when he IS in school that is. He usually gets suspended for a couple of weeks or gets sent to Juvi for doing stuff," Santana explained.

"Oh," Blaine nodded. "And by the way, he's playing on our team. So if you don't want him to think you're interested in him or something, you should really stop staring." Blaine turned to look at Santana, dumbfounded. "Unless you are," she added and gave Blaine a bitchy smile. Blaine looked at Noah and then at Santana and then back at Noah. He could not believe what she just said, he was still trying to process the information

So, he's gay? And he's also popular? What's with the badass attitude? What did he do to always get suspended and be sent to Juvi? Why am I so concerned about him? Shit! I have to snap out of it. Oh shit, he's looking in my direction, I have to pretend to listen to Mr. Shue. "Blaine?" "Uh, yes Mr. Shue?" He's head shot up, and he looked at Mr. Shue like he'd seen a ghost.

"Can you tell me, one way people express love for one another?" "What? LOVE Mr. Shue…Um?'

Oh damn, I'm so making a fool of myself right now. Relax Blaine, it's just a simple question. No need to panic.

Blaine closed his eyes shut for a second and calmed himself down. "By doing something, like…singing?" "Yes, I hope you're paying attention Blaine because I have an assignment for you guys this week. I'm not just talking about love, I'm talking about expressing your feelings for someone or something. I want all of you to find a song that expresses how you feel about someone or something, it can be anything. Your boyfriend, girlfriend, your pet or your car… whatever. You can even write your own song, if you'd like."

Rachel was thrilled, she knew what song she liked to sing because she recently wrote a song about how she feels about her…headband. "It's called, My Headband."

She began singing her song and when she ended her performance, everyone was utterly speechless, even Mr. Shue. Nobody applaud, except for Brittany.

Noah felt like the whole thing was stupid and he was starting to regret joining glee club, almost.

"Okay! Rachel, your singing was great. Thank you." Just as finished talking, the bell rang, everyone stood and left the room, ignoring the fact that Rachel was still rambling about her knew song she planned on performing the next glee practice, called, Only Child.

A few textbooks dropped out of Blaine's locker as he was searching for his calculator which he really needed to do his assignments that day. "Shit!" He cursed. It had been a bad day for him. First, he forgot to bring his hair gel, causing him to have to constantly tuck his stubborn curls aside.

Next, he embarrassed himself in glee practice. Now, his locker just seemed to have shrunk after the summer break, his books and papers kept falling out. Maybe, he's just too lazy to clean and organise his locker. While Blaine was still searching for his calculator, someone helped pick up all his books that were on the floor.

"Yes!" Blaine said in celebration under his breathe. "I see you've found your…calculator," Noah looked at what Blaine was holding in his hand. "Here, I'm sure you don't want to lose your books too, right?" Noah said teasingly.

Blaine replied, "Yes, I mean no, I don't. Thanks." He took the books from Noah's hands and placed them neatly in his locker. He closed it and looked at Noah, he was still standing there, watching Blaine's every move. Then Noah finally spoke, "I guess you really weren't paying attention in glee practice were you? I'm Noah. And you're Blaine…Anderson, right?"

"I was. I know. And how do you know my name?" Blaine was not sure if he should talk to Noah. Wasn't he like, supposed to be mean? He's a bad influence, but he kinda seems friendly.

"I have my resources…I know I shouldn't tell you this but I kinda stole your file from the drawer in the school's records drawer in the basement. So basically I know everything about you," admitted Noah. "What? Why would…So you know where I live?" Blaine stammered.

"Hey, dude. Relax. I'm only joking," Noah slapped Blaine's shoulder, he realised he had scared the crap out of Blaine. That was really mean. "Why would you do that?!" "Look, I'm sorry. I was just trying to be…Alright, alright that was RALLY mean and I owe you an apology. Why don't I buy you a cup of coffee, to make it up to you?" Noah thought, this was he's chance.

Blaine was hesitant. What if this was another one of his jokes? What if it was a trap? He sounded sincere and also willing to make up for what he's done. It's just coffee, what could happen? "Fine," Blaine finally answered. Noah grinned slyly and it looked somewhat, adorable to Blaine. Blaine tried not to laugh, oh my god, too cute!

Noah led the way, Blaine followed behind. "So, you have a car?" Blaine asked, he just remembered that his dad sent him to school that day, "my motorcycle is still at the tyre shop. I'm supposed to get it this afternoon." "Yup, we can take my car to Lima Bean. Then, I can send you to the tyre shop afterwards, to get your motorcycle." Blaine nodded, " I suppose, since you owe me that much."

"Anything for my hot new friend," Noah answered looking back to catch a glimpse of Blaine's reaction.

He thinks I'm hot. Cool, no wait not cool. He's the number one badass, I'm sure that this is just the way he talks. "You coming, Blaine?" "Yeah, yeah. Coming." Blaine quickened his pace, and found himself, walking beside Noah.

They headed towards the Lima Bean, as soon as they got settled in Noah's car. It seemed new, not what he expected. Blaine wondered if Noah's family was poor, is that why he stole from banks and so all those stuff that Blaine heard he had done? God, why does he even care? Blaine snapped out of his thoughts and looked outside the window. He barely knew the guy and he's sitting in his car. It was too late, he couldn't change his mind now.
