Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or Pretty Little Liars. (note that i've only read books 1-4 of pretty little liars and i'm currently reading 5. I have not seen the show). Glee belongs to Ryan Murphy and The Pretty Little Liars books belong to Sara Shepard (not really sure who the show belongs to though)
Okay I know this chapter is kind of long but I wanted to introduce all of the characters and kind of start the text messages. Also FYI this is a Puckleberry fanfic (mainly) and also Klaine, Brittana, and maybe possible Quam. It has some Finchle and a little Furt and Pummel and a lot of fake Santana/Kurt (they don't really have a couple name) and also some Samcedes and a little Mercedes angst (I've never really liked her... probably because I was so jealous she got to be BFF's with Kurt).
Oh and also something to take a note of before you read to this just so you don't get confused:
Kurt hasn't met Blaine, Karofsky never kissed Kurt, Santana hasn't told Brittany she loved her, Sue's sister never died (and New Directons is on her bad side), Santana, Brittany, Quinn, and Kurt are still cheerleaders, Puck isn't with Lauren (who isn't in the club), the prom queen thing never happened, Shelby lives in Ohio, and Kurt still is being bullied by Karofsky.
Chapter 1- Love and Other Trouble Makers
Kurt Hummel was struting down the hallway smiling. Despite the constant bullying he had to put up with every day he always treated the school hall as his runway. And confidence was the key to making him, and the fabulous clothes he was wearing, seen.
All of the sudden an arm grabbed him pulling him into the girls bathroom. He was scared- but then he thought- all of his bullies were guys- they usually pulled him into the guys bathroom.
And there standing before him was Santana Lopez. Suddenly his fear was back.
"Hummel!" She said forcefully.
He looked at her with his wide-eyed horrified expression.
"I need you to do something for me,".
His heart was pounding. Nothing she was about to say would be good. And as the words came out of her mouth he was proven right.
"I need you to go out with me,".
He looked at her for a second.
"Wha- what?"
"You are going to be my boyfriend,".
Kurt straightened up so he could seem less afraid than he really was.
"Santana, honey, you know that I'm gay right?"
"Yes- I am aware. But I am also aware that you are tormented every day here because of your sexuality. Wouldn't you like to make everything simpler?"
"I like myself the way I am- and if the people in this school don't like that- then I don't care about them"
Santana's smile frowned. Kurt could almost swear he saw a tear fall down her face.
"How are you so confident Hummel!" She yelled angrily.
Kurt was shocked by her sudden anger.
"What's going on Santana?" He asked.
She looked at him and drew a breath then shoved him into one of the stalls and covered his mouth.
"You have to swear on your life not to tell anyone"
Kurt nodded- but was unsure what she was about to say or do.
"I'm in love with Brittany" She whispered.
Kurt's eyes widened.
"What!" He tried to yell out but her hand clamped tighter over his mouth so it only came out muffled.
"And I need you to go out with me right now because I need something to distract me. I already think that this school is catching on,".
He pulled his hand off of her mouth.
"Why can't you-"
"I'm not telling anyone Hummel! I see what you go through! I don't want to go through that! Now just drop it and promise you will be my boyfriend"
"While I really want to help you Santana- I don't want to go out with you. I like being gay and I already pretened that I wasn't with Brittany. And I've made my dad go through this whole-"
Santana shoved him into the wall.
"Go out with me Hummel or I'll kick your ass!"
Rachel Berry held Finn Hudson's hand as they walked out of their glee club meeting. She liked the feeling of being able to hold his hand again- but it just didn't feel the way she remembered.
"You okay Rach?" He asked.
"Yeah," she said smiling brightly at him.
It was times like these when her perfect acting skills came in handy.
"I'm really worried about the fundraising for glee club- I mean last year we got really lucky with all of the money- but we can't just depend on luck this year. We all have to contribute" She said.
Finn nodded. Rachel looked at his face. It was unreadable. She could never tell if he was actually listening to what she was saying.
"Well I gotta go," She said.
"Aw, why?" Finn asked.
"Dance lessons," she lied.
"Okay- see you later," he said kissing her goodbye.
That was another thing. His kisses just never made her feel the way the had before. But maybe she was just expecting too much out of him.
She made her way to the parking lot and got into her car. She picked up her phone and texted 'Hey. I'm coming over today. I wanted to ask you something'.
She put down her phone and started the car. Then she made her way to Shelby Corcron's house. She had been visiting her for a few months ago after they had got in touch again. She had been keeping this a secret though because she didn't want to hurt her dad's feelings that she was going to her for advice and everything- and that she knew about her and also because she didn't want Quinn and Puck to find out in case there were any weird feelings. Not that she cared about Quinn's feelings... or Puck's.
Quinn watched Sam and Mercedes pass by her in the hallway. They didn't even notice her clutching her book leaning on her locker. She saw Sam grab Mercedes' hand and her heart burned a little bit. Why did she have to be such an idiot and chose Finn over him. Finn was obviously still in love with Rachel.
He was really nice to her and he was really cute. He was faithful to her- while she was sure there must have been something going on between Finn and Rachel during their relationship. He even gave her a promise ring!
She took a deep breath and started to walk away when Coach Sylvester walked up to her.
"What have you got for me today Q?" She asked.
"Nothing much. We're just low on money and not really sure how we're going to be paying all the fees for everything this year,".
"Well I want you to prevent them from getting that money. Without it they won't be able to compete and then Glee club will be over!"
Quinn nodded.
"All right- if you don't have anything else to say to me I have to go make fun of Will Schuster's hair".
Sue walked away. Quinn rolled her eyes. She had only gone back to helping her so she could be on her good sign. After all she couldn't let her find out about her nose job if she wanted to continue to be cheer captain.
"Its so hard being me" She said under her breath.
Puck watched Rachel pull out of the parking lot. He knew he had promised Finn he would stay away from her but he couldn't help himself. He regreted not going through with it the last time she kissed him. The only reason he stopped was because he didn't want her to kiss him just because she wanted to make Finn upset. He wanted her to kiss him because she liked him.
He heard footsteps beside him. He looked to his side. It was Kurt.
Crap! He had parked by Hummel's car. The two of them exchanged an awkward glance and then Kurt hurried into his car and drove off.
Puck bit his lip. Kurt just looked terrified... had he told someone? He would kick that kids ass if he found out he did. No one could know- and if it was up to Puck- no one ever know. Well- if it was up to Puck he would have Rachel Berry instead of Finn.
Santana walked into her house. Threatining Kurt was easier than she thought. But she couldn't help but feel a little bad.
"Whatever" she said to herself. "Its not like any guy at school wants to be with him".
She opened the door to her house.
"Hi sweetheart!" Her mother called out.
"Hi mom," she said with a smile.
"How was school? Any cute boys"
Santana gave her most embarrassed look as she possibly could.
"Mom- they don't want to date me"
"Sweetie the boys are crazy if they don't want to date you. What about that boy Puck who was 'just your friend'" Her mom said using air quotes.
"I told you mom nothing happened between us. We were just friends- like me and Brittany"
"Aw- she hasn't been over here in a while. Maybe you should invite her for dinner this weekend"
Santana drew a breath.
"Okay mom. Well I have to do my homework"
"Okay sweetie. Dinner will be ready in an hour"
"Okay" Santana said hurriying up the stairs.
As she reached the top of the stairs her expression faded.
Yeah- her mom and dad had no clue that she was the school slut so what? And they deffinatly had no clue about her relationship with Brittany. And she liked it that way. They could all just be a big happy normal family and she could get out more because she had their complete trust.
All they knew was that Santana had briefly gone out with Sam and one or two guys from middle school. And the farthest she had gotten in their minds was short frenching (her genius mind had failed her once).
And the thing they would have never expected was that their daughter was in love with her best friend.
Finn walked into Coach Beiste's office.
"Hey Coach. What did you want to talk to me about?" Finn asked.
"Sit down Hudson," She said.
He sat down in front of her.
"Okay- its a new school year and in order for me to be fair to all of the players on the team we're going to be having tryouts again. They'll be tommorrow."
"Yeah but I'll be quarterback again right?"
"Hudson- I need to be fair to Sam-"
"What! But I won the championship last year! I brought the team together!"
"Hudson! Its not fair to Sam. He also did really well"
"Your going to pick me though... right?" He asked.
"We'll have to say how well you do in tryouts- and how well your attitude improves"
Finn took a deep breath.
"Fine," he said.
Then he turned back.
"I don't even know if Sam is going to be able to make it to all of the games this year anyways. He's been having a lot going on with him,".
"He knows being quarterback is a comittment. I think you should let him and me be the judge of if he's going to be able to make that committment," Coach Beiste said.
Finn nodded and walked out of the office.
He couldn't not be quarterback- it was the only thing he had left going for his reputation. Sam was pretty amazing and there was actually a chance that he might become quarterback. Finn couldn't risk that happening. He took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Sam's number. It went to voicemail.
"Hey Sam. I was wondering if you wanted to chill tonight? You know to take off the feeling of school being back- even though we're like two weeks into school- or three. Well call me back".
Kurt sat down at the kitchen table trying to focus on his homework but this whole turning straight for Santana was really bugging him.
"Hey kiddo" his dad said walking into the room.
"Hey dad," He said a little to softly.
His dad sat down next to him.
"Everything okay Kurt?" He asked.
"Yeah, yeah. Everything's fine"
"Are you sure?"
Kurt sighed.
"I know something's wrong"
Kurt tapped his fingers on the table. His dad would have to find out about this sooner or later.
"Do you believe that... a person can be bisexual?"
Burt raised his eyebrow.
"Well yeah- but- I thought that you were sure you were gay"
"Me too- but- I don't know"
"Do you- do you like a girl?"
Kurt was surprised that his dad wasn't happy about this- well- no- no he wasn't. He had already established that his dad was 100 percent fine with him being gay.
"I... kind of,"
There was silence for a moment.
"Really" His dad said pursing his lips together. "Well- um- do you want to talk about it?"
Kurt shook his head.
"Okay then" his dad said. "Well- I'm completely fine with whoever you date as long as its not someone who would hurt you or use you. The main priority is that they make you happy"
Kurt tried to smile. If only his dad knew...
"Dude- what number beer was that?" Sam asked laughing.
"Three! Maybe you should lay off of the beer- we have football tryouts tomorrow" Finn said.
"Shit man! No one told me!" Sam said slapping his hand to his head.
"That's not good. Do you want some more dorittos?"
"Yeah! I love these things! I always try not to eat them and everything so I can keep my awesome bod- but they're just so awesome!"
Sam grabbed the bag and began the shovel the dorittos into his mouth.
"So good," he said.
"So how are things going at home?" Finn asked.
"Oh- man" Sam said sitting up pointing a doritto at Finn. "They are so so horrible. My mom and my dad are always fighting now and everything. And- and- my brother and sister are fighting too. And there are no cool ranch dorittos and I had to sell all of my weights and my football and my basketball- but you know. But hey! Maybe we could win Nationals this year. That would make everything so much better. But the glee club doesn't have any money either! Why does everything have to depend on money. If it was up to me everything would be free".
Sam was grinning. Finn gave a pitiful smile.
"Yeah man," he said.
He couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt in his stomach. Why was he doing this? Sam could've been happy about the possibility of getting quarterback.
"Hey... you know what? Do you want to sleep over at my house tonight?" he asked.
"Really?" Sam asked. "That would be really awesome. I think my parents would literally kill me if I came home drunk".
Finn paid for the drinks and helped Sam to his car. Finn had one beer... but that was okay right? I barely felt drunk. He began to drive.
All of the sudden his phone beeped. He looked down. He had a text from an uknown number.
Hey,
Driving drunk? What happened to designated driver? Didn't really think this one through... but you don't really think things out a lot do you. Taking poor Sam out to get him sick before your tryouts- not cool man!
-G
Finn looked around him. Who texted that? How did they know?
"You okay buddy? The light turned green" Sam slurred.
"Oh- ugh yeah... just got distracted".
Puck walked into his house gloomily. Why did Rachel have to be in love with Finn?
"Hey. Your Noah right?" A voice said.
Puck turned to his side. A man was sitting on the couch watching TV. Crap- his mom had a new boyfriend.
"Its Puck," He said biterly.
"Okay... I know this act. Your trying to scare away your mom's boyfriend so you can stay the man of the family".
Puck glared at him.
"Its okay buddy. My name is Rick,".
Rick put out his hand.
"I think it would be better if you stayed away from my mother"
"Look Puck- I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong page. I really like your mother and-"
Puck snorted.
"Yeah, if I had a penny for every slime who has said that to me I would be the richest man on earth".
Without saying another word he stormed off to his bedroom and slammed the door shut. His phone beeped. He really wasn't in the mood but it could be Kurt saying that he told someone and that- he would need to take care of.
He picked up his phone. On the screen there was a text that said:
Puck,
So much anger... but do you really think Miss Berry will really help you with that. Remember that she has always picked Finn over you. And I don't think moma Puckerman would be happy if she found out her little Noah was scaring away her new boyfriend. I would try to manage that anger before you do something stupid.
G
"WHAT THE HELL!" Puck screamed out.
Who would text him that. He would have to show this asshole. He tried to text back but a little box popped up on his phone telling him that it couldn't send text messages to blocked numbers.
"Peice of crap" Puck muttered and threw it to the side of his bed.
What a girl wants
What a girl needs
What ever makes me happy sets you free
And I'm thanking you
For knowing exactly
What a girl wants
What a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thanking you
For giving it to me
Rachel set down her hair brush and looked into her mirror. She half expected Puck to say 'My ears are starting to hurt... can we take a break'. But that was silly because he wasn't even there- and there was no reason he should be...
She sat back down on her bed to look at her computer to check the reviews she got on her myspace videos.
"The only reason I'm thinking about him is because I just saw Beth" she told herself.
When she opened her computer it was on her mail. She noticed something- there was a new email. She opened it.
"Oh my gosh," She said. "OH MY GOSH!"
"Her fathers came rushing into the room"
"Rachy what is it!"
"I got called back for my audition!"
"The one for the movie"
Rachel nodded her head happily.
A few months ago she had auditioned for a small role in a movie. It was a low budget film- but hey- that's how all the great actors and actresses started these days. And she needed something to fall back on if she didn't make it to broadway.
After all the hugging and congragulation and texting to Kurt and Mercedes Rachel was finally left alone. She couldn't stop smiling. All thoughts of Puck had completely vanished. Her life was just beginning.
Suddenly her phone beeped. She picked it up expecting it to be a congragulation- but it was from an unknown number. Did she already have fans?
Miss Berry,
Congragulations. But wait- that's a paying job. Wouldn't that expel you from competition? I don't think new directions would be happy about that. I also don't think that your boyfriend would be happy to know that you're thinking about the guy you cheated on him with. Not much of a people pleaser are you.
G
Rachel gaped at her phone. She almost got up to alert her daddies to call the police when something else caught her eye.
P.S.- Say hi to your mommy for me
I hope you liked that! Oh! Also disclaimer to Christina Aguilera's "What A Girl Wants".
