Intro
Noah Puckerman had known Rachel Berry since the first grade. He didn't have a red crayon, and she let him borrow one. They were best friends from that point on. Around second grade, Noah had a small crush on Rachel, but it was small. When his dad had left when he was eight, Rachel comforted him. "It's all right, Noah, I'll always be here for you, no matter what," she had said. But she lied. The summer before sixth grade, Rachel and her dads moved to New York. They kept in touch through letters and e-mails, but they hadn't seen each other in almost six years. He missed her so much. But, he didn't think she would want to see him. He was kind of a jackass. He bullied kids and threw slushies in their faces for no reason. And his name wasn't Noah anymore, it was Puck. Or Puckerone. Or Puckzilla. Or Sex God. He missed Rachel too much, and he longed to see her.
Chapter Three
Puck gave Rachel a ride to school. "Hey, Noah," she said, hugging him. He suddenly felt very warm. Oh, hell no. "So there's a party tonight at Brittany's house, if you wanna come…" "Sure, Noah, I'd love to go," she said. Her eyes are really pretty…
…
At the party, there were drinks. A lot of them. Brittany's parents were out of town on their anniversary or something. Rachel was a designated driver, so she couldn't drink. Puck made his way to the Jack Daniels. Santana, Mercedes, and Artie were already wasted. Matt and Tina were buzzed, but Kurt was another D.D. so he and Rachel just danced. Quinn and Finn were missing, but he wasn't gonna look for them, so he just drank shots with Mike. They decided to play spin the bottle. Quinn and Finn came around just about then, and he could've sworn that Quinn had a hickey on her neck. "What're we doin'?" she asked, her words slurred. "Playing spin the bottle," Kurt said. "I wanna go first!" Santana said, like a child. It landed on Brittany. Everyone ooohed. Brittany just shrugged, and she and Santana kissed for like, a minute. Then, it was Matt's turn. He landed on Tina. Then, Artie landed on Mercedes. Quinn landed on Kurt (which was really weird to watch), and then it was Puck's turn. He landed on Brittany. Brittany tasted like tequila. Finn went next. He landed on Rachel. He and Rachel kissed. Puck felt a twinge of jealousy in his stomach. Watching his best friends kiss. "Not bad, Hudson," Rachel said. When the night was over, Rachel drove Puck, Santana, Mercedes, and Artie home. When she dropped Puck off, he kissed her on the forehead. "Night, Noah," she said. "Night, love you," he slurred as he got out of the car. Wait, what?
