I honestly don't know where this idea came from, but I just had to write it. I wasn't sure where it would go either, but towards the 10th chapter I hit a sort of wall with writing, so I have finished it there for now. But I may do a sequel. Apologies if the writing is bad or what not... I don't have a beta so it's all me!
I hope you like it, not much really happens in the chapter, it's just the beginning! Please let me know what you think! I love reviews, so if you read it and like it let me know so I can get the next chapter up soon, Sorry for any delays, but life is pretty hectic right now! LayX
"Get in" His voice startles her as she looks to the car close beside her, is he serious? Get into a car with him? Why on earth should she oblige? Since when did they talk? Why would he want her in his car, the only reason that is plausible is so that he can do some wild act to humiliate her.
She tries to ignore him, quickening her pace towards the school
"Berry get it" he says it again, is he mental? Has he gone crazy or something, does he honestly think I'll just jump in or something?
He drives slowly beside her, the window down looking straight at her the whole way until she stops to turn and look at him, she doesn't say anything, she just stands there and looks at him to find any signals of his mental state.
"Well? Are you going to get in?" For the love of god, what is wrong with him?
"No I am not" she squeaked out "Why in the world would I get into your car, what gives you any sort of idea that I would happily jump in"
"Were friends" he shrugs, since when exactly? Has he been living under some kind of rock? We talked for about a week that time we 'dated' but since then? Where was the evidence that we were even close to friends? We may be in glee together, but he usually makes it clear that he doesn't like me saying he would rather light himself on fire than spend time with me or whatever, yes because that's what friends feel for one another. Am I going crazy and dreaming this or something, this is not the run of the mill morning for me.
"We've never been friends" Just stating a fact
"Yeah we are friends, that time we dated that was pretty hot, we made a good couple"
Has he hit his head? We make no sense as a couple, he's popular and all the girls want him, although most of them have probably had him. This isn't definitely weird.
"Look Noah, what do you want? Is this some ploy to embarrass me in some way, because I can save you the bother if you just tell me what it is you want to do, because we certainly do not make a good couple, and you don't like me, we don't talk so this make no sense to me, why do you want me to get into your car?" it all came out like a nervous babble, when she was intending to sound strong and not scared, she couldn't help but imagine what he wanted to do to her, locked her in the car and tip it, toss her out somewhere and have people throw things at her, it all seemed so terrible that she just wanted to avoid the situation.
He shrugged again, this just seemed normal to him like he did this every day to some girl he barely knew and didn't talk to, heck maybe he did.
"Rachel, I just want some company, would it kill you to get into the car and ride to school with me? I swear I'm not going to do anything to you, we may not talk, but you're a good listener and I'd really like to ride to school with you"
He seemed kind of desperate like he wanted to talk about some sort of life or death situation, she pulled open the door, put her bag in the back and climbed in "Talk fast, and drive safely" she said sitting uncomfortably in the front seat waiting on something terrible happening.
He didn't say anything which made her nerves soar, and when they drove right past the turning for the school her stomach pretty much hit the floor, she waited to see if he had some other car park he used, but when they drove for another 3 or so minutes down the road she got scared "Where are we going Noah, the school is back there"
He heard the nerves in her voice and he laughed a little bit "A detour" he said simply, a detour was he insane? School started in ten minutes and Rachel Berry never misses school
"Noah were going to be late" her eyes were narrow and he words were sharp "I'd really appreciate you turning around" "Right now" she added
"We can't be late if we're not going"
He's kidnapping me? Thoughts of all sorts ran through her head, but she kept her cool the whole time.
"Not going?" she asked simply, if he can play the simple game she can too
"Have you ever skipped school, have you ever done anything out of the ordinary that you didn't plan, that you just thought would be fun, spontaneously decided to do with someone because it sounded like it would be fun?"
She turned her head and if he even bothered to look at her she was sure the death stare she was giving him would make him stop the car and reverse all the way back to McKinley, but he didn't even take notice of her head turning "No I haven't, because I always plan what I do in my day, I don't like to just decide to do things, because then those things could go badly and you get disappointed and I don't like to be disappointed, I have a schedule and rules for my life that I like to stick to, I don't know what you're doing but I would really like it if you just took me to school"
"See I knew it, you don't have any fun Rachel, and you need to live a little, break the mould and all that"
I swear my self defence skills will come in handy if he doesn't stop this act, I think he's either drunk or high, why else would he be acting like this? This isn't normal.
"I like my life Noah, I like planning things I like having a mould, please just take me to school" she sounded weak now, like she was begging him not to hurt her, and Rachel Berry doesn't beg anyone, so there you go he got something she didn't plan, he can let me go now I broke my mould, I begged someone for something.
"One day off school won't hurt you Rach, it's a study day anyway and I know for a fact you don't need to study because your grades are perfect, just trust me okay?"
She scoffed at his choice of words, "Yeah that worked for Quinn didn't it?" that was harsh and she knew just then that she'd hit a nerve because he flinched and she swore she saw tears welling at his eyes, if he even has tear ducts that was. "Sorry that wasn't fair"
"S'okay" he shrugged, she wanted to break his shoulders right now, and didn't he know that was rude, yeah a shrug is okay, but to do it so many times when someone is talking to you is rude in Rachel Berry's book.
There was silence for the remainder of the journey to wherever they were going, Rachel had no clue. She was in a world of her own when the car stopped and his door opened "I'll be right back" he said and closed door without even waiting on her to reply, or object or scream or do anything.
She couldn't help but feel this was weird, it was truly like kidnap, she was here against her will, but she didn't call for help or use her cell phone to call anyone, it was just all too difficult for her to understand, she wouldn't usually stand for this, she should have called police of her Dad's or someone buy now, but she didn't put up a fight. She did get into the car out of her own free will and she could have made him turn around, grab his hand if she thought it wouldn't put her life in danger, she could call someone right now and tell them to come and get her, but she didn't want to, she wanted to be here. She felt a need to be here and she didn't know what it was exactly, maybe that's why she's still here to find out.
She saw him walk out of the garage carrying a bag in one hand and a slushie in the other, Oh dear lord here it goes, that drink is going to end up all over me in about five seconds. Sheer disbelief filled her when he handed her the drink and got back into his car.
"What are we doing? I'm not going to fight you and tell you to drive me back, because it would be a waste of time now, we've already missed over an hour of school, I just want to know what the point of this is, are you going to leave me out here somewhere to die like that film I seen a while ago?"
His laughter finally breaks the ice or so to speak, but really what is funny?
"I'm not going to kill you Rach" Rach that name it's a nickname and only friends call other friends nicknames, why is he calling me this? He never really calls my name but when he does it's 'Berry' he likes to use. "Can you just stop asking questions for like 20 minutes and then you'll see where were going?"
"Fine" she breathed out, there was no point in arguing, she could wait she was a patient person.
She let him carry on driving and silence filled the car again, it was strange though because the silence wasn't awkward it was more peaceful than anything else, it was like they did this everyday and it was perfectly normal to do, but the fact was it wasn't and it freaked her out a little bit how she wasn't uncomfortable about this, she wasn't squirming in her seat edging to get out the car away from him, she wanted to be here, she liked it even, his smell the bumps in the road and the mystery of the whole thing was kind of fun.
She really didn't sound like Rachel right now, it was like some free spirited person had took over her body, not just hers Pucks too, this wasn't like him, or was it? She didn't really know him all that well after all.
