Just a Puckleberry story. I don't know how many chapters. Sorry if I don't update much.
The girl sitting in the corner of Starbucks had her hair tied back in a messy bun. She was wearing a tight black tank top with a grey hoodie thrown on the back of her chair. She had faded blue jeans on with holes at the knees and black, scruffy converse on her feet. She had a small brown leather handbag under the table by her feet. On the table in front of her was a half full coffee cup and her head was bent down to read her book.
The boy in the queue in Starbucks was wearing baggy black jeans; a navy blue hoodie over what looked like a plain white t-shirt but only the bottom of the top was visible. He had on a pair of blue sneakers on. He had messy hair that hung to his chin. The front of his hair was flopping into his hair and he kept having to flick it back because otherwise he wouldn't be able to see.
The girl in the corner was on her own. That was obvious. She was trying to blend into the background and not be seen.
The boy was with his best friend who was busily looking at the muffins and cakes deciding what he wanted.
The girl hadn't seen the boy.
And the boy didn't see the girl.
But his best friend had.
Finn Hudson looked up from the display of cakes and glanced around the room. And soon he spotted the girl in the corner. He poked his friend and the pointed at the girl who was still oblivious to the two boys. Noah Puckerman just rolled his eyes.
Finn then exited the queue and walked over to the girl. Rachel Berry looked pleased to see the boy infront of her. She was smiling and had set the book down on the table.
Puck paid for his and Finn's coffees before walking over to the girl's table.
"Long time, no see," Rachel greeted Puck. Finn was already seated at the table and Puck had to drag a chair over to the small table to sit with them.
"Yeah," Puck grunted in reply as he placed the two coffees on the table.
"It's been too long," Finn grinned as he took a sip of his coffee.
"Defiantly," Rachel agreed with a nod.
"So how've you been?" Finn asked.
"Good. Very good actually," Rachel smiled, "I became a broadway star."
"You did? Well done. I didn't realize. Me and Puck don't go to musicals. But I'll make sure I go to one of the musicals you're in," Finn said as he took another sip of coffee.
"Thanks. That'd mean a lot to me. And how have you been?" Rachel asked.
"I've been good. I live with Puck. I work at this company. I'm an assistant," Finn nodded.
"Really? Do you enjoy it? I always thought that you'd be in a musical or get a record deal. I don't know... I just thought..." Rachel trailed off as she glanced at her lap.
"Well it's not exactly what I wanted to be. But it's okay," He shrugged.
"Well as long as you're happy," Rachel smiled.
"I am," Finn nodded.
"Good. And Puck... How's life?" Rachel raised an eyebrow. Puck had before been drinking his coffee and blocking out the two talking but then he heard his name and he almost dropping his coffee cup. He was mainly just shocked that Rachel had called him Puck. But then again this Rachel was completly different than how she'd used to be.
She was hot now.
"Okay. I guess," Puck said, placing his now finished coffee onto the table.
"He's unemployed," Finn stated.
"Oh... Well if that works for you," Rachel said as she glanced towards the door where a tall, blond guy, "Look it's been nice chatting but my boyfriend's here."
"Oh... Right," Finn muttured looking obviously disappointed that he couldn't keep talking to his wonderful Rachel.
"I'll see you soon though. We should meet up again," Rachel wasn't looking at Finn though. But at her boyfriend. She scooped up her hoodie and bag before running to the door to meet her boyfriend. She got onto her tip toes and kissed the boy before he wrapped an arm around her waist and they left the coffee shop.
Both boys new there was probaly a 99.9% chance that they wouldn't see Rachel again until their high school reunion.
Rachel Berry had achieved a lot since leaving highschool. She'd got accepted into Julliard. She'd graduated. Then she got a few small parts on broadway. These small parts soon became lead roles. Her first lead was as Nancy in Oliver Twist. She'd then met her boyfriend of 2 years. They'd lived in the same apartment block. Caught the lift together. He'd asked her on a date and they'd hit it off instantly. And now here they were. He was called Robert. He was a year older than Rachel and he always went to see her when she was in a musical. He and Rachel lived together in a lovely 3 bedroom house.
Rachel was getting requests for her to star in movies and to get her own record deal. Rachel was just weighing up the options before deciding. But very soon Rachel would become famous.
Rachel was happy.
Noah Puckerman however hadn't achieved much. He'd got accepted into NYU. And so had Finn. They'd shared a dorm before buying a small apartment together. To start with Puck had taken his CD's to record labels in hope that they'd listen to his music. But no such luck. Puck then got a serious of small jobs. Like in diners cleaning the floors. He'd got fired from every single one and then he just gave up. He sat around his and Finn's flat all day before going to the pub and getting drunk at night. He never called his mum anymore. Scared of a 'you turned out just like everyone said you would'. He hated that he'd let his mother down.
At least Finn had made something of himself. It wasn't what he wanted but he'd got a decent job and a decent pay cheque.
Puck hated his life.
I know this is a rubbish first chapter but it'll get better.
