Hello, thank you for showing an interest in my little story here. This is a Puckleberry story because I always felt that their pairing had a lot of potential that never got used, although I love Finchel and Quick, I just always felt that these two balanced each other out better.

So here it is my exploration in to the world of Puckleberry, I sat for a while thinking over what I was going to do with them and watched episodes over and over again but in the end I was watching one of my favourite movies Centre stage and suddenly it just clicked what I wanted to do so I will be loosely following the plot from that movie and using all the characters from glee.

So the usual disclaimers as needed in these stories I do not own any of the material apart from the alterations in story line

Hope you enjoy it

Tarra


She couldn't lay still, her body brimming with excitement; she could feel it running through her like an electric current buzzing under her skin.

She, Rachel Barbara Berry had been accepted in to the St James Academy and would be starting there tomorrow

Anybody who was anybody on Broadway had studied at the St James Academy and she couldn't believe she got in, sure she knew she had the singing talent and she could act and dance because her fathers had made sure she was spoiled in the arts since a young age but she was always worried that being Jewish may hold her back although her idol Barbara Streisand would tell her to chin and up and make them laugh sometimes she would feel the pressure that maybe being prettier and taller would help her career

As Rachel fell in to a restless sleep she remembered all of the things she needed to take with her in the morning and checking of her list mentally in her head.


"Morning Dad, Daddy" Rachel grinned as she walked in to the kitchen that morning puling her large suitcase with her

"Hey baby girl, you excited?" Leroy asked as he turned to look at his daughter

"Yes dad I can't wait to get there" Rachel beamed as she grabbed her breakfast smoothie from the table

"Well me and daddy are going to miss you, what will we do without our star" Leroy grinned

"oh dad you will be fine and you know it, I'll call all the time and I will come home on holidays stop worrying" Rachel giggled as she sat down in front of the fruit salad that her fathers had made her that morning

"Leroy your always so dramatic" Hiram smiled looking at his daughter and then over at his husband

"Well she has to get it from somewhere" Leroy smiled back

"Oh I am going to miss you two at breakfast" Rachel giggled picking a piece of pineapple and popping it in her mouth


Rachel looked out of the taxi window not believing her eyes as she pulled up in front of the large building that was the St James Academy, this was always one of her dreams, when the other kids in school would pick on her and slushie her she always knew she would make it one day with the determination to prove them all wrong. That she was special and she would do something with her life.

"Just here is fine thank you" Rachel called to the taxi driver as he pulled to a stop, her eyes scanning the whole area determined not to miss a moment or a sight

"Please keep the change" Rachel smiled as she climbed out of the cab and grabbed her bags, she was just doing a double check that she had them all when she heard the rumble of a motorbike behind her

At first she ignored the footsteps coming towards her assuming it was someone else just arriving until she heard someone clear their throat and then speak to her

"Hey do you need some help there?"

"Oh am fine" Rachel rambled as she turned to look at who had spoken suddenly taken a back with who she was greeted with

"Your fine?" He smiled looking her up and down

"yeah am ok thanks I don't need help thank you anyway" Rachel smiled brightly at the beautiful man in front of her, his broad shoulders displayed in his leather jacket, his distinct cheek bones defined by the dark aviators covering his eyes, his well-defined chest covered in a tight white T-shirt and his black jeans hanging on his hips in a delicious way.

"Well if you're sure" He smirked looking her up and down

"Yeah I am thanks a lot though it was really thoughtful of you to ask" Rachel smiled to try and hide the blush that was filling her cheeks

"Oh no problems so see you around" He grinned before heading up the steps ahead of her

Rachel smiled to herself as she watched him walk away, the sway in his hips as he walked, the way his butt looked in those jeans and the way he had smiled at her

"Oh come on Rachel don't be silly" she mumbled to herself, grabbing her bags and heading towards the building with her excitement renewed

She found her room quickly and pushed the door open to find a gorgeous Latina girl stood in front of her, the girl turned to look at Rachel with a slight hesitation etched on her face. The girl was really pretty with long tanned legs sticking out from under a long sleeved green jersey dress, her long dark hair curled and pulled to the side and her small waist accented by a large black belt which really helped to show of her amazing slim figure.

"Hi you must be Rachel" the girl turned to look at her as Rachel pulled her bags in to the room

"Yeah and you are?" Rachel smiled holding her hand out to the beautiful dark haired girl

"Santana Lopez, I took the top bunk" Santana smiled at the smaller girl

"Yeah that's fine take me a while to get up there anyways" Rachel grinned causing Santana to let out a small giggle as she turned to grab a cigarette

"Oh you know who I saw on my way in?" Rachel smiled dreamily as she watched Santana fiddle with her lighter

"Who?" Santana looked down at the smaller girl who was sat on the edge of her bed

"Noah Puckerman" Rachel sighed rethinking the way he had spoken to her and the smile on his lips as he spoke

"Oh yeah is he as arrogant and cocky in person as he is on TV?" Santana smirked

"Hey you must be my new roommates"

The two dark haired girls turned to look at a bubbly blonde who was stood in the door way smiling brightly at them

"Oh yeah this is Santana and am Rachel" Rachel grinned moving forward to shake the girls hand

"Nice to meet you, Am Brittany, am sorry but you can't smoke in here" Brittany smiled at Santana

"Fine I'll go outside" Santana snarled "are you coming?" Santana looked at Rachel as she walked out of the room

"Yeah sure" Rachel smiled sadly at the blonde girl "Bye Brittany nice to meet you" Rachel called as she hurried after Santana

"What a bitch" Santana moaned as soon as Rachel caught up to her down the hall way

"I don't think she meant to be Santana I mean she was just telling you the rules and she might be asthmatic or something" Rachel sighed

"Yeah well I don't know there was just something about her" Santana frowned turning to Rachel

"Suppose" Rachel shrugged

The two girls carried on down the corridor talking in general until they reached the stair way door and they heard a call behind them

"Oh hey girls"

Santana and Rachel stopped at the door and turned to see a petite man walking towards them in a pair of white tight jeans which where tucked in to a pair of black combat boots, and a black loose sweater, he was under dressed for what Rachel imagined to be his normal style but he walked with grace and elegance that she knew only came from years of dance training

"Hi" Rachel smiled

"My names Kurt Hummel" He smiled at the two girls looking then up and down in an appreciative manner like an artist does a canvas "you guys new too?"

"Yeah am Rachel Berry and this is" Rachel smiled pointing towards her friend

"Santana Lopez" Santana smirked watching the man in front of her carefully

"So where you two headed?" Kurt asked looking puzzled

"Outside to smoke" Santana replied rolling her eyes

"Oh come down stairs its fag country" Kurt shrugged and moved through the doors signalling for the girls to follow him

Rachel and Santana looked each other for a second trying to decide whether it was ok to giggle or ignore the obvious pun, they decided to avoid any problems on the first day that holding in that giggle would be ok for now

They followed Kurt along the corridor as he smiled and sashayed through the people in the corridor with ease

"Girls this is Sam, Sam this is Rachel and Santana" Kurt smiled as he pushed the door open and ushered the girls inside

"Hi Sam" Rachel smiled as she sat down on the bed Kurt pointed too, their room was similar to Rachel's and Santana's but there was definitely a smell that meant boy even a clean one such as Kurt and the colour of room was a pale blue and green instead of the pale yellow and green in theirs.

"Hi, you guys just starting with Kurt then?" Sam asked looking the two girls over

"Yeah we are you new?" Rachel asked watching as Santana climbed up on to the window sill with Kurt to hang out slightly to stop the smoke from coming in to the room

"No I have been here for 3 years already" Sam smiled at the small girl sat in front of him

"Wow 3 years" Rachel sighed stunned

"Yeah I was here since I was 18"

"So are you in our classes now then or are you a professional?" Santana asked turning on the window sill and looking the blonde haired boy over, his hair cut short in to a cropped style, though looked so blonde that she was certain it had to be dyed. His large eyes looked kind and sensitive but with hidden depths, his lips seemed a little large on his face but it oddly suited him. His body was large but very toned and muscular and his smile was magical.

"Oh am in classes with you guys, I got accepted early through a programme to help performers with learning difficulties" Sam explained smiling at the two girls and Kurt

"Oh right that's cool" Rachel smiled back

"So who you guys rooming with?" Sam glanced between the two girls wondering who it was they had ended up with

"Her names Brittany" Rachel explained ready to describe their new room mate

"You guys are rooming with Brittany Pierce" Sam giggled rolling back on his bed holding his stomach as he laughed loudly

"Yeah why?" Santana asked looking at Rachel worried and then back to Sam waiting for an answer for his outburst

"She is crazy, she talks to her cat and thinks that he is like a real person, she is convinced that he does drugs and allsorts. She of course is the best dancer here and has the best technique and her mum is like the receptionist or something and she can sing and isn't that bad in the acting classes but she rules the dance ones… St James loves her and so does his wife" Sam smirked trying to control his laughter

"So you're saying we have been put in a room with a deranged dancer?" Santana groaned looking at Rachel for support

"Santana I don't think she really is crazy she could be really nice we shouldn't judge before we know her" Rachel smiled sadly

"Yeah well if she starts talking to me about her crazy ass cat am going to go all Lima heights on her ass" Santana grumbled

"Well regardless off…" Rachel started but stopped abruptly the moment the door opened and a tall dark haired boy stumbled in carrying bags

"Is this the right room because if it aint am going to stay anyway" the dark haired boy smiled

"No arguments here" Kurt grinned looking the tall boy up and down

"Are you Michael?" Sam asked standing up to shake the boy's hand

"Yeah but call me Mike its only my parents that call me Michael" He grinned placing his bags on the open bed

"So Mike where you from?" Santana grinned, her eyes roaming up and down his slim but muscular figure

"Seattle where my girlfriend broke up with me for leaving her there" Mike smiled looking at Kurt to let him know he wasn't his type

"Unlucky for her" Kurt mumbled bitterly glaring at Santana who was smirking at him with a triumphant expression

"Well Hi Mike, am Rachel, this is Santana, Kurt and Sam" Rachel stood up smiling at the tall Asian man, shaking her head slightly at the behaviour between her new friends

"Hey Rach" Mike grinned at her, he looked down at the small girl her bright smile somehow comforting and welcoming

"Well we better be going still need to unpack we could meet up later for some food" Rachel smiled turning to Santana "you gonna come or are you staying here?"

"Yeah come on lets go unpack because I am starving and the quicker we get that done the quicker we eat right" Santana groaned standing up and stretching her long slender body

"Sure, see you guys later" Rachel called as her and Santana headed out the door

"They don't seem like the likeliest of friends do they?" Kurt pondered watching the two go out the door

"Yeah but it's funny the people that become friends when you have to live with them" Sam smiled thinking back to the strange groups of friends he had seen over the years in this school, because of dorms you end up with people who you may not have looked at twice in the past is suddenly your best friend

"They seem nice though" Mike spoke up from his spot on the floor, he had just opened his bag and was wondering what to start unpacking first

"Yeah they do" Sam smiled leaning back on his bed and thinking about the two girls, he could already tell this year was going to be interesting


"Looks like crazy cat girl isn't here" Santana smirked as she entered the room "probably off with her mummy"

"Santana" Rachel giggled "that's mean"

"Yeah well am a world class bitch you better get used to it" Santana smiled at the smaller girl

"Come on lets unpack because I am starving" Rachel grinned turning around and starting to open up her suitcase

"Where do you think is good to eat around here" Santana asked suddenly looking up from her own bags

"I don't know guess we will have to just wander about and see" Rachel smiled back at the taller brunette


"Hey man" Puck called from the doorway as he watched his friend come to stop as the music stilled

"what you doing back here?" Will grinned turning to look towards the door way where his long term friend was leaning there watching him

"Oh you know am over the broken heart business now and am interested in making a new debut, They asked me to do the gala and well LA was becoming stale, there's nothing like home" Puck smirked listening to his own sarcasm

"but you hate the galas and you know you would rather be away from here" Will looked up at his friend confused as he picked up his small white towel from the top of his bag and rubbed the back of his neck and this head over to remove the sweat from dancing

"Yeah I know but I also need to work and I wasn't working in LA and why should I hide I never did anything wrong" Puck muttered trying to pretend that it didn't bother him to be back here

"So how are things with you?" Will asked as he started to stretch out at the ballet bar to cool down

"Same old same old I guess just keeping going" Puck shrugged looking around the dance studio, Him and Will Schuster had spent many a day and night in here preparing for shows or watching the students, Will because he was there teacher and Puck because he liked watching the girls

"So you seen her yet?" Will turned to look at Puck who had wandered over to the large windows at the side of the dance studio

"Nope and am glad about that, I don't need that crap in my life anymore" Puck groaned running his hands down his face and round to the back of his neck

"Yeah I guess your right you should concentrate on other things" Will smiled walking towards the sound system and flicking through some backing tracks on his IPod

"What you up to?" Puck turned looking at his friends suspiciously

"Oh just thought you might want a warm up" Will grinned pressing play on the dock and listening to the start of the music

"No not this" Puck smirked looking Will over as they relived some of their early years at the academy

"Oh come on its funny" Will laughed starting the chorography that they had performed when they were younger, it was for a class they had with Mr Ryerson who later was fired for inappropriate lessons and some inappropriate remarks and touching to the male students. Of course that was before this was the St. James academy that was when it was simply the American performer's academy.

Puck laughed at his old roommate as he danced around the room to the music using old hip hop moves and some very dated dirty dancing

"Come on" Will laughed as Puck eventually started to join in laughing at the ridiculous dance moves and the awful lyrics


"San am just going to look for a vending machine I really need a drink do you want anything?" Rachel looked up at the top bunk where her roommate was sitting putting up pictures on the wall above her bed

"Please Rach just anything they got except Dr Pepper I hate that stuff" Santana grinned turning to Rachel

"Sure no problem" Rachel smiled and grabbed her purse

"Rach there's some money in my purse" Santana called as Rachel headed for the door

"Oh its ok I'll get these" Rachel smiled up at her friend and headed out of the door

She searched the floor their room was on and couldn't find a vending machine with anything she wanted in so she moved to the boy's floor below looking there but still couldn't find something she liked.

"oh this is silly" Rachel muttered as she wandered along a darkened corridor near the dance studios, and finally she spotted another vending machine opposite a dance studio that looked to be in use, she rushed forward and started to use the machine quickly so not to disturb the performers but also because she was sure Santana would be wondering where she had gotten to by now

She grabbed two diet cokes for her and Santana, as she turned to head back the way she came she heard laughing and then the booming sound of a familiar song starting up on the sound system from in the dance studio, she turned and spotted that the door was open and she couldn't resist going up for a look to see who was in their

Come inside, take off your coat, I'll make you feel at home.
Now let's pour a glass of wine 'cause now we're all alone.
I've been waiting all night so just let me hold you close to me,
'Cause I've been dyin' for you girl and make love to me.

Rachel giggled as she stood smiling watching the two men doing an old hip hop style routine to the really bad 90's pop song. She smirked to herself at the way they mimicked each other and where rolling their bodies thought she had to admit it was a little effective with the bodies they had

Girl you make me feel real good.
We can do it 'til we both wake up.
Girl, you know I'm hooked on you,
And this is what I'll do...

I wanna sex you up.
All night.
You make me feel real good.
I wanna rub you down.
I wanna sex you up.

Rachel's eyes snapped open wide as she heard his voice and he turned towards her, the man who had offered to help her with her bags, the man she had a crush on for nearly two years, the man she had been to see on stage over 20 times and here he was in front of her dancing around to a stupid bad 90's sex song.

Her body seemed to forget how to move even when his eyes locked on to hers for a few seconds and he smirked at her while continuing to dance like her presence meant nothing but an audience to him. She blushed at the way he looked at her while he was singing and she felt the need to run but couldn't get her legs to agree

"Knew you would remember it" Will smirked as the two men stopped and high fived each other as the song came to an end

"yeah well you know I always perform better with an audience" Puck smirked turning towards the door, Will turned and stopped a little stunned by the presence of the small dark haired girl who appeared to be lost in thought at that moment

"So you could manage all those bags but you seem to be struggling with two cans?" He grinned looking her up and down, her long brown hair that he had admired this morning was pulled up on to her head in a messy bun, her tight jeans that had shown of her long shapely legs and her nice butt, replaced by black yoga pants, her red rain coat which covered a white peplum top this morning was now replaced by a pink vest top which was showing of her breasts and flat stomach perfectly and a grey hooded top. Her large beautiful brown eyes seemed to be miles away but had snapped up since he addressed her and was now wandering over his own body.

"Yeah looks like" She smirked; he watched the way her lips curved in to the smirk in a seductive manner.

Her voice rang out in to the dance hall like bells and her smile was so bright it could light up the dark hall way behind her. He couldn't remember the last time he saw someone as beautiful as she was; she seemed almost too good to be true

"So you need some help then?" He smirked, his eyes continuing to roam over her petite stature

"Oh its ok you go back to your awful song and dance routine I'll be fine" She giggled and turned to leave

"Hey ill have you know that's a classic" Will called after her, he had stood watching the interaction between the two with interest, he could see them both looking each other over and he knew it would do his friend some good to be involved with a good woman to get over last year

Rachel stopped when she heard the other man call out behind her, she paused and turned back around and headed back in to the room

"A classic, that is not a classic it's a really cheesy pop song" Rachel grinned at the older man in the room

"Yeah but that doesn't mean it's not a classic" Will grinned back at her, he had to admit she was beautiful not in the conventional way but there was something about her

Rachel looked the older man over his brown hair floppy was hanging around his face in little curls, his broad shoulders on display in the tight black vest he was wearing, his black jazz pants loose enough for comfort but tight enough to show off his great figure.

"I think songs that our classics would be offended by that statement" Rachel giggled

"Well if you had to perform a song about sex that was from the 90's what would you have picked?" Will grinned watching her to see if she could come up with an answer, she was smart and seemed to have good sense of humour but he wondered if she could keep up with Noah

"well I could go with a few but if they had to be from the 90's I would either go with let's talk about sex by salt N pepa although I prefer push it by them but that was 80's, the divynals – I touch myself or bump and grind by R Kelly" Rachel smiled as she watched their faces go from stunned to amused as they considered her words

"Some good choices" Will smirked looking across at Puck whose eyes had gone wide and almost predatory looking at the small girl in front of them

"Yeah they are good choices but can you perform any of them?" Puck smirked wondering if she would be able to rise to the occasion

"You want me to perform right now?" Rachel looked suspicious for a moment while she looked between the two men in front of her before her eyes settled on Puck

"Yeah well you just gave us some criticism for ours so let's see yours" He grinned

"Puck" Will started but Puck shot him a glance that told him to stay quiet

Rachel knew what he was doing, he wanted her to perform to try and make a fool out of her, she knew that if she performed and it was awful that he would make fun of her and if she didn't perform he would do that same. The problem was that she had never really performed sexy songs, she knew she would need to practice but there wasn't the time so she was going to have to wing it and hope that it goes well.

"Fine" Rachel smiled and turned towards the speaker system

"You really are going to do this?" Will asked stunned by her determination to prove Puck wrong

"Yeah I am" Rachel smirked as she found the song she was looking for and placed her iPod on the dock

Rachel moved back to the middle of floor and stopped while the music started in slowly, she looked up and smiled while the two men stood there stunned

Rachel opened her mouth to start singing when she heard someone shout her name

"Rach"

Rachel stopped and turned to look at the person shouting

"Santana" Rachel called back when she spotted her friend wandering past the door way

"Are you in here?" Santana called as she stuck her head through the door

"There you are where have you been?" Santana scowled as she spotted her friend stood in the dance studio with two men and some awful music playing in the background

"What is going on?" Santana looked confused as she approached Rachel

"Oh nothing are we ready for dinner?" Rachel smiled

"Yeah what you doing here?" Santana asked frowning at Rachel

"Oh nothing let me just grab my stuff" Rachel grinned nervously and turned and grabbed her IPod the cokes and her jacket

"So are you not going to carry on then?" Puck smirked watching the two girls interact

"Well I guess we will just have to continue this another time wont we" Rachel grinned and headed out of the room pulling Santana with her

"What was that?" Santana asked looking her friend over confused

"Don't ask" Rachel rolled her eyes and continued down the hall way quickly

"Look like a little something to me" Santana grinned looking back over her shoulder to see if the two men were following them

"Oh just leave it San I'll tell you later" Rachel giggled and carried on pulling her friend towards their room

"You like her" Will smirked looking over at Puck who had moved towards the door listening to the two girls talking echoing down the hall as they left

"I only met her today" Puck groaned, Will was a hopeless romantic and believed that you could fall in love in an instance

"Sometimes that's all it takes" Will grinned and grabbed his bag

"Yeah am sure it does" Puck rolled his eyes as he turned to grab his jacket and bike helmet

"well you can be cynical but any girl willing to stand and watch that awful performance and still smile and check you out afterwards is definitely worth getting to know better" Will smirked as he turned the lights off and the sound system

"Suppose" Puck looked down the hall way as they left the studio almost hoping that the girls would still be in sight

"Yeah well let's go and talk about it over a beer" Will grinned slapping his old school friend on the back

"That is not the responsible teacher Mr Schuster talking is it?" Puck laughed as he headed out of the main doors and pulling out a cigarette

"No it aint it's Will asking his old roommate to come and blow of some steam before classes on Monday" Will smiled

"Yeah sure…" Puck started but then heard someone call out behind him; he turned to see a group of students walking out the building, three boys and the girl that had come looking for his mystery girl before

"Rachel come on hurry up" Santana called behind her as she walked out of the main door

"Sorry I was just grabbing my purse San" Rachel called back as she rushed out after her friends and ran a little to catch up but she wasn't looking where she was going and collided with someone in front of her

"Oh god sorry" Rachel stammered as she bent down to pick up her bag and all the stuff on the floor

"That's perfectly ok Miss?"

Rachel looked up in to a pair of beautiful brown eyes and stopped for a second while she let her brain register who she had just ran in to

"Rachel… erm Rachel Berry" she stammered looking him over, his dark hair slicked back away from his face, his smile bright and welcoming

"Well Rachel I hope I didn't injure you before you start classes next week" He smiled looking down at the small girl

"Oh no am fine and it should be me worrying about hurting you I mean am sure I could get in trouble for injuring the director and principle of the company" Rachel smiled

"Am not worth that much these days so I think you would be fine"

"Still I am really sorry Mr St. James" Rachel looked down towards the floor shyly as she addressed the director of the company in front of her

"not at all Miss Berry feel free to run in to me whenever you like" Jesse stated grinning down at the small girl, her comfortable clothes still showing off her petite dancers figure, her beautiful brown eyes shining in the night and her smile enrapturing

"Well I better be going" Rachel smiled looking over to her friends who were starting to look impatient

"Of course well I look forward to seeing you in class Rachel" Jesse smirked looking over her shoulder for a minute to see Puck watching the two with interest

"You to Mr St. James" Rachel moved to leave when she heard him talk again

"It's Jesse" He exclaimed thinking he had never seen anything sexier then when she looked at him over her shoulder and called his name back to him

"Jesse" Rachel smiled and carried on towards her friends

"What was that?" Santana asked looking her friend over for yet the second time tonight she had watched an older man pawning over the small brunette

"I ran in to him and he started talking to me I can't very well ignore him he is the director" Rachel frowned zipping up her oversized grey hoodie

"Yeah well I would be careful with him" Sam exclaimed as he looked around the group his eyes settling on Rachel

"Why?" Rachel looked up at Sam confuse by his sudden serious tone and worry etched across this face while he looked at her

"Because he has a history with female students" Sam frowned thinking back to the way he had spotted Mr. St James looking at Rachel the way he had once looked at his wife when she started classes here

"don't worry Sam I will be fine and besides if not am sure my knights in shining armour here will protect me" Rachel smiled linking arms with Sam and Mike

"Hey! What about me?" Kurt frowned at Rachel playfully

"You're my knight in pink armour" Rachel giggled playfully as they started walking away down the steps to the main building

"Please Pink is so last season" Kurt laughed as he grabbed Santana by the arm and followed behind his roommates and the small Diva


"Noah" Jesse smiled as he watched Rachel walk away with her friends, spotting Noah stood over by the doors, he had noticed the way Puck had been watching Rachel while they were talking and couldn't resist the urge to go and aggravate the taller man further

"Jesse" Noah grumbled looking up from his phone, he knew Jesse had spotted him watching the interaction with Rachel but he couldn't help it. The girl had something about her something innocent but feisty just something and he knew what Jesse was like he would spoil the girl like he had done every girl he had his eye on in this company including his current wife.

"We really are glad that you could make it back for this year" Jesse smirked at Noah's tense body language at being in contact with him and having to pretend to be civil

"Yeah well I didn't have anything else to do this year" Noah shrugged looking over to Will with a roll of his eyes to let his old friend know that although he was pretending to be fine he was not enjoying being in Jesses company longer then he needed too

"Well any way it's good to see you, I take it you will be in the classes for the next week before the Gala" Jesse smiled knowing he was really starting to aggravate his once friend

"Suppose" Noah frowned knowing he was going to have to make an appearance in these classes although he would rather just show up to rehearsals for the gala and then perform and that's it

"Great well see you there" Jesse smiled and headed off in to the building smirking at his latest round with Noah and the thoughts of the small brunette girl who had attracted his attention this evening

"He makes my skin crawl" Will frowned looking his old friend over carefully, the history between the two was long and not a pleasant tale and he knew it affected Noah more then he would let show

"Come on I need a drink" Noah snapped storming forward towards the steps down to the streets

"A drink sounds great to me" Will smiled hesitantly and followed his friend

"Am going to need more than one" Puck grinned as his friend caught up to him at the bottom of the steps

"Well that could be arranged" Will smiled as they walked towards their favourite bar at a fast pace which Will knew was because Puck was tense and needed to work it off physically

"Great because I need to drown out them two and replace them with a small brunette" Puck smirked thinking of the small girl he had met that day, she was nothing like the girls he normally would like but there was just something about her, something in her eyes, her mannerism, her voice, her smile and he knew one thing if he was going to have to go to classes next week they might be more bearable if he gets to watch her as a distraction.

His mind was pulled back in to the now by Wills voice ringing out over his thoughts

"A small brunette huh?"
