Summary: Mr. Shue has another assignment for the Glee Club. They have to pick songs to describe their feelings. Secret friendships come out andso do secrets.

A/N: So I am in the process of writing the sequeal of Love is Around The Corner, but while that is being worked on I though I would write another multi-cahpter story. So here it is. Enjoy. At the end of reading the chapter please leave a review.

They glee club sat around the choir room, waiting for Mr. Shue to come. He was probably talking to Ms. Pillsbury. They have obvious feelings for each other but are too afraid to do anything about it. 'Stupid idiots' Rachel thought to herself, even though she was kind of in the same position as Wemma. 'Cute name but not as cute as Puckleberry' she thought.

Mr. Shue had finally arrived to the choir room. He walked in, set his brief case upon the piano and turned to the group of kids he grew fond of over the 2 years, he has been teaching them. He cleared his throat, grabbing the attention and eyes of the 12 members.

"Hey, everybody!" He started with his usual excitement "This week's assignment is feelings. It could be hurt, love, broken-heart, sadness, friendship, or happiness, whatever you're feeling. I want two or three songs and a brief description why you chose those songs. Okay, get to it." He said.

Rachel was the first one to walk out. She already knew what she was singing; she just didn't really want to be in a room where she wasn't liked by most of them. She had a few friends in the group. People would laugh in her face if she told them who she was friends with. Sam Evans was like a big brother to her( she knew if people knew they were friends he would get ridiculed so she told him to pretend he doesn't know her while at school). Santana Lopez was her best friend ( she told her the same thing so that she wouldn't be teases) and Noah (or Puck as people know him)Puckerman?; Rachel and him grew up together. He was her best guy friend who she fell in love with at age 11. She told him to do the same thing as the other two. The slushies were to keep up with appearances. She gets him back all the time. While in her thoughts she didn't hear Santana following her. Rachel walked into the auditorium

She sat down at the piano and began to play the opening chords to her first song. Santana interrupted before she could sing.

" Hey B!" She said as she sat down next to her.

"Hey"

"So you gonna sing a song about Puckerman?" Santana required. Santana was the only one that knew about her love for their Mohawk friend.

"I'm thinking about it." Rachel said.

"Okay, now can you help me pick my songs? I know what I want to sing about, it's just I want your help in finding the right songs."

"Yeah, sure. Since Sam and Noah and you are coming over tonight, why don't you just come over after school instead of at 8pm?" Rachel suggested.

"I didn't drive to school today so could I catch a ride with you?" Santana asked

"Yeah. Come on, the bell is about to ring and we need to get to class."

They headed off to their next classes. Once the final bell rang, Santana meet Rachel at her locker. They grabbed their stuff and headed out to the school parking lot. They climbed into Rachel's 2012 red Dodge Charger. They drove to Rachel's house. Before they did anything, they walked into the kitchen and made something to eat and just chilled for awhile. Once they get up to her room, around 6:00, Rachel pulled out her laptop and fired it up. She and Santana sat on her bed against the pillows. Rachel opened up the internet and turned her head towards Santana.

"What are you singing about?" Rachel questioned.

" I wanna sing my love to Brittany. I finally feel safe enough to come out and tell everyone I'm gay." She said quietly. She was okay with people knowing she was gay; she was just nervous of being rejected by Brittany (the person she loves).

"That's really great, San. I'm proud of you" Rachel said as she looked into her best-friends eyes. "How many songs are you doing?"

"Three" came Santana's reply.

"Why three? Two would be fine to sing about being gay and being in love with Brittany." Rachel said confused.

"The third song, I wanna find by myself, though. But the third song… It's going to be about you."

"Me? Why?" Rachel said even more confused.

"Because, I don't want to hid that we are friends anymore, B. Do you know how bad it hurts to have to insult you, just so I won't be teased? That's not fair. B, you're my best friend and I love you. I don't want to pretend anymore. It's so hard to watch you get slushied and have to laugh at it. It's so hard to watch, day after day, you get insulted, teased and bullied, and I have to stand there at let that happen. I don't want to do that anymore. I want to be able to help you clean off every time you get slushied. I wanna be able to kick the shit out of everyone that bullies you. I hate that I can't hug you or thank you in public. I don't care if I am teased or slushied because we are friends. You are my best friend; I don't want to hide that fact." By the time Santana had finished her speech, her and Rachel had tears in their eyes.

"San..." Rachel whispered in a hoarse voice, "You're my best friend, I wanted to protect you, and that meant taking one for the team. I don't care what they say, because I know what and who I am. I love you so much San, and I would love to finally be able to hug, talk, joke around, and just hang out in school and public." Rachel said before they both burst into tears and hugged each other on her bed.

"Come on, San. I got something we can sing."

"B, what song?"

"You should know it" replied Rachel.

Rachel stood up from her bed and found the song on her iPod. She placed her IPod in the Ihome and pressed play. As the opening chords flitted into the room through the speakers, Santana had a smile on her face and let out a laugh.

[Santana: spoken]
I don't know why I like it, ha
I just do

Ooh, ooh. Hee
I've been hearing your heartbeat inside of me
I keep your photograph beside my bed
Livin' in a world of fantasies
I can't get you out of my head

[Rachel]
I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night
Why you wanna make me feel so good?
I've got a love of my own, baby
I shouldn't get so hung up on you

[Santana and Rachel]
[Chorus]
I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn't like it so much, Oh
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do?

[Rachel] Ain't it shocking what love can do?
[Santana and Rachel]Ain't it shocking what love can do? Hee

I gotta watch you walk in the room, baby
I gotta watch you walk out, mm-hmm
I like the animal way that you move
And when you talk, I just watch your mouth

Sam and Puck walked into the room at this moment and couldn't help but smile at their best friends singing and dancing around Rachel's room. Sam looked at Puck and saw the love in his eyes, while Puck looked at Rachel. He just couldn't believe that they were both so stubborn to tell each other their feelings, that and Puck was just afraid of being rejected by the one girl he actually truely loves. [Chorus]
Oh, I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn't like it so much, (No, no, no)
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do?

I get so emotional….

[Santana] Oh baby
[Santana and Rachel] Oh, oh yea!

When they finished the song, they resolved into a fit of giggles. At that moment Puck and Sam made their presents known, by clapping. This caused the girls to shriek and turn around, which also cause the two boys to start laughing. Rachel and Santana walked up to Puck and Sam and slapped their chest.

"Ow, woman!" Puck said rubbing his chest. Even though Rachel was practically a midget, she was really strong.

"Don't do that, you practically gave me a heart attack." She said and walked back into her room, leaving the boys in laughter again.

"So what was with the song?" Sam asked.

"Just fixing the wrongs." Santana replied simply while sending a smile towards Rachel. Rachel smiled back before looking at the clock and realized the boys were early.

"Why are you hear so early? Its only 7:15" Rachel asked.

"Well we finished practice early at like 5:30, and then we went back to Trouty's…" Puck said

"Hey!" yelled Sam.

Puck ignored him and keep talking "and played COD for a while, then got bored, so we decide to come over earlier." Puck said.

"Okay…" Rachel said "So have you guy's chosen any songs you are going to sing? Or what they are about?" Rachel asked. Sitting back down on her bed, and pulling her laptop back towards her.

"Yeah, I got mine" Sam said.

"What are they about?" Rachel inquired.

"Well one is going to be betrayal, you know of Quinn and Finn,…" Rachel nodded. She had felt so bad for Sam when they found out Quinn and Finn where fooling round behind his back. The day they found out Sam stormed out of the choir room, and Rachel and Santana both slapped Finn and Quinn. Later that day, Santana gave Quinn a hard time in cheer and it caused Quinn to collapse in tiredness and Puck had tackled Finn a total of 25 times. When Santana was doing that, Rachel went to find Sam. She had found him sitting on the bleachers (that was where Sam, Santana, Noah/Puck and Rachel went, if they had a bad day) with tears in his eyes. She held him till his sobs became sniffles and then she took him home. That day was maybe one of the worst in their group. Sam was so heartbroken, and Puck, Santana and Rachel were pissed.

"Yeah, and the second one I want to sing about being your friend Ray. I don't want to hide that anymore. You deserve so much better than being a dirty little secret. I don't care if people tease me or beat the shit out of me, I wanna be able to hang with my friend." Sam said in a caring tone. Rachel again had tears in her eyes, as she got up and hugged Sam.

"Thank you." She said softly "You don't know how much this means to me." She said a little louder looking and Santana and Sam. "What will you be singing Noah?" She said while swiping at the tears coming out of her eyes.

"I wanna sing about love." He said simply.

"Love?" Rachel questioned. She couldn't help that her heart beat faster, in thought of him loving her, and breaking, in thought of him loving someone else.

"Yeah. I wanna finally tell this girl, I love her. Also, I already have the songs picked out."

"Oh, okay." Rachel said, trying to hide the sadness in her voice. Santana looked at Rachel, she knew what Puck had said hurt her a little. She wanted to hug her and whisper reassuring things in her ear. She hated when Rachel was sad, it felt like someone was twisting her gut and stabbing her heart. All the while Sam was semi-glaring at Puck. He knew Puck loved Rachel (Puck told him, but also said he could tell anyone and that also meant Santana and Rachel told him that she loved Puck but again he promised not to tell anyone. He could never break a promise.) But the way he said it was not right. He made it sound like he was in love with someone that was not Rachel.

"So San, Sam, Let's find you songs." Rachel said.
