CHAPTER 1
This is low. He stood in front of a chestnut door waiting for it to open. So far he rang the bell atleast three times and he knows she's in there. He puts his hands on his waist and turns around to look at the building. He wonders if there might be an apartment for rent because then he wouldn't have to stay over at his ex-girlfriend's.
He turns back to the door and starts to pound it with his fist. "Yo Lopez, open up!"
Still no answer. He swear he heard giggling.
"I know you're in there! Please San, don't be a bitch." He yells.
Finally the door opens and he sees the girl he'd been waiting for. She doesn't look to happy. Actually, she looks pissed off. And for sure she'd be pissed off. She hadn't seen him since they saw each other a couple of months before at a college party and he ended up in her bed that night. So he remembered the building she lived in.
Don't think he was there to start a relationship with her. Not that whatever they had was a relationship. They just had casual sex. Noah Puckerman may be a lot of things but stupid wasn't one of them. He knows that getting into a relationship with the female version of him is bad to the max.
He was twenty years old and still living with his parents. Well was living with them. His mother is head of a wedding company and his step-father is one of the richest men in New York City. So he and his half sister Myriam always got the best of everything. Food, toys, education, you name it.
Even if Puck was treated like a prince, he still had a huge devil on his shoulder which resulted him into doing random shit acts for no good reason. At first, it didn't really affect his schoolwork but ever since he got to college, he started to drink more and party hard which severely affected Columbia. He was failing half his courses. He blamed it on boredom and decided he didn't like college anymore. Next thing you know, he's telling his parents that he dropped out of Columbia; which resulted in him getting kicked out of the house.
After the first five minutes of being homeless, Puck was this close to going back home but then he realized that he wasn't being a man but a pussy. He didn't want to stay over at any of his snobby friends which he barely calls friends so the only person he could think of was Santana.
Puck has known Santana since grade eight when they met each other in high school. She was super hot and he wanted her. For three years, they'd fight, break-up, kiss then make-up. He finally let her go before college because he realized he never loved her. Plus she was a huge bitch. But now he needed her as a friend.
"It's about time" he said.
Santana crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, "I thought you'd get the hint after the third bell."
He scratched his signature mohawk, "Listen, uh, I need a place to crash."
She looked at him with a dull expression for a minute and then said, "Here's my answer," and was about to slam the door in his face.
He quickly stopped it with his hands and said, "San! Please, it'll only be a couple of days. I'll even sleep on the couch unless you wanna, you know.."
Santana quickly stopped him, "Listen Puckerman. I don't know who the fuck you think you are but you can't just barge in here. I've grown-up and now I think you should too. So whatever you did wrong go back to mommy and daddy and apologize and maybe they'll buy you a car or something. Okay?"
With that she pushed him out of the way and slammed the door in his face.
"Fuck you! I already have two!" he yelled back at her.
As he turned around to pick his bags up, he saw a tall man about his age looking at him as he stood at the top of the stairs. As he walked down towards Puck, he pointed at his shoe and asked, "Is that yours?"
Puck looked down to see one of his video games had fallen off his bag. He picked up and said with a chuckle, "Yeah, Super Mario Galaxy 2. Awesome game."
"Really! I was gonna buy that!" the man exclaimed with joy.
Puck laughed, "Yeah? You wanna play? I don't have my Wii with me though."
"Seriously?" the man asked with hope in his eyes, "'Cause I have a Wii over at my place."
"Yeah, ohkay no problem I guess." Puck replied
"Dude, you look like you need a place to stay." The man told him
"No kidding." Puck replied with a half laugh
"I'm actually looking for a room-mate. I go to NYU like most of the kids that live in this building and most of them have room-mates. The place is big enough for like, three people and it's hard to pay for the rent." He offered
"Seriously?" Puck asked in surprise.
"Yeah man, you look cool." The man shrugged with a smile.
Puck had to think for awhile. It sounded gay to live with another dude but the look of it, the guy was cool. He liked video games.
"Ohkay yeah, I guess. I'm Noah Puckerman, by the way. But they call me Puck." Said Puck as he clenched his fist to give him a fist bump.
"I'm Finn Hudson," he said as he picked up some of Puck's bag, "here let me help you."
As they walked up the stairs, Finn asked him, "So how do you know Santana?"
"What guy doesn't know Santana?" Puck replied with a laugh.
Finn laughed and asked, "So you go to NYU?"
"No, I uh just dropped out of Columbia but like don't worry, I can still pay rent and shit." Puck reassured him.
Finn looked at him, "No I believe you. You have a job?"
Puck stared at him and then replied, "No but don't worry I can get the money."
Finn stopped walking and turned to Puck and asked, "You're not like one of those male prostitutes, are you?"
"The fuck, man? Nah, I meant like I have a bank account with money in it." Puck roared with laughter.
Finn laughed in embarassed and said, "Ah ohkay, yeah I'm sorry."
As they got to the door, Puck realized he couldn't find his iPod which was in his pocket like half an hour ago; "Yo Finn, take my stuff in. I think left my iPod in my car, I'll be right back."
Finn nodded.
Puck started to run downstairs jumping every last three steps when he didn't realize there was someone in front of him and suddenly smacked into the person. The girl almost fell but luckily Puck caught her in time, but her groceries went flying into the air and then fell.
"Shit! I'm fucking sorry." Puck apologized.
"Can't you watch where you're going?" the girl yelled as she bent down to pick up the apples that fell of her grocery bags.
"Hey lady, I said I was—" Puck suddenly stopped when he saw the girl. Her olive skinned really glowed in the floral white dress she was wearing. She was beautiful.
Puck decided to come back to Earth and act like a gentleman, "Here let me help you."
As he picked up the apples he got a bit close to her and smelled the strawberry scent that came from her long dark hair. Puck knew she was smokin' hot and decided to give her a taste of le Puckerone.
They both got up and Puck asked, "So do you live here?"
She looked at him suspiciously, "Yes…"
"Oh, cool" he said was he started to play with his hair and secretly flex his arms.
She stared at him for awhile and then asked, "I'm sorry. Who are you?"
Right. His name. He kind of forgot it for a second. "Oh, Noah Puckerman. But the babes call me Puck", he winked and said with a smirk.
She laughed and picked up the other grocery bag. Puck decided to go help her, "Can I carry that for you?"
She thought he looked nice so she let him, ask they walked up the stairs she asked him, "How about you? Do you live here?"
"Uhh, now I do. I just moved in with Finn." he replied
"Oh Finn Hudson? What a sweetheart! I'm his next door neighbor." She said smiling.
Score! This was going to be way easier than he thought.
Finally they got to her door; she opened it and took the bag away from Puck. Her hand slightly touched Puck which gave him minor goose bumps but he's too badass to admit it. She smiled at him, "Thank you."
"Yeah well, you gotta be nice to the pretty ladies," he replied smoothly.
She laughed and turned around. Puck realized that he didn't know her name, "Hey! I uh, never got your name."
"It's Rachel Berry. It was nice to meet you Noah." She said smiling.
"Yeah you too." He replied.
She closed the door and he turned around to go to his new apartment. He actually felt grateful that his parents kicked him out of the house. Now he knows that things are turning around. He's got a new friend who lives under his ex-girlfriend and luckily he can make all the noise he wants. And mostly, he's got a hot babe living across from him.
Finn finally opened the door and then said, "Hey, did you find your iPod?"
Puck had no idea what he was talking about for second. Oh, right his iPod. "Yeah don't worry about. I'll buy a new one."
So this is chapter one. I really like the idea of the story but what matters most to me is if you liked it. So please review. I don't care if it's good or bad, I like feedback. Just don't rip me apart. ;)
