So guys, this is my first story, but I'm happy to be writing about this couple. They're just too cute to resist. This story will definitely be AU, but I hope everyone will enjoy it. The first chapter is short, but the ones to follow will be much longer. Chapter One is just like a prologue. Well, enjoy! ...I hope.

Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever, own Glee or the characters in this story. Unfortunately.

"What are you doing here?"

I swear to God, Allah, and whatever else there is out there that when those five little words were spoken from her mouth, they could make me feel just about anything. That minuscule sentence had ripped apart my soul, pleased me, enraged me, and made me feel a whole cacophony of emotions during the past year and a half. I hated that, and I hated her for it.

My crush on her makes no logical sense. Before Finn started dating her, I threw slushies in her face every chance I got. I'm pretty sure the only reason I stopped was for the fear that Finn would beat my ass if I didn't back off. But then again, I never imagined that I would have a crush on my best friend's girlfriend. I mean, come on. I am Noah Puckerman.

However, slowly but surely, I started doing things to see her. I told myself that she wasn't really the reason that I joined Glee. I spent hours convincing myself that she wasn't the face I was looking for after I made some rare spectacular move during a game, but the fact of the matter is I couldn't lie to myself anymore. I had to accept the truth.

It happened sometime between Thanksgiving and Hanukah. Finn's stupid ass started dating her right around Thanksgiving, so of course it was then that I started noticing her as well. I noticed things that I shouldn't have even thought about. Like how she raises her eyebrows when she's trying to be cute. Like how she looks so happy when she's breathless after an amazing finish to a number. And I definitely shouldn't have noticed the soft curve of her waist. But despite the number of reasons that I shouldn't have noticed these things, I did anyways. And there is only one explanation for that.

I, Noah Puckerman, was in love with Rachel Berry.
