The next morning, I got up like I do every day. I fed Arthur, ate breakfast (bowl of cheerios), and got dressed for work. Some people would say I'm stuck in a rut, but I call it routine. At 7 I left my apartment to walk to work. While I'm studying to become a therapist, I work at dunkin donuts. It'snot the best job in the world but it works to meet ends meet. While I walk, I quietly sing to myself. I was in glee in high school, but I haven't really sung since.

"If you have a minute why don't we go?

Talk about it somewhere only we know"

I was lost in my own little world until I felt my bag being grabbed. I started to scream as a man ran down the street with my bag.

"Help, help that man just took my purse," I cried

I watched as a familiar figure chased the robber. He tackled him down, I could tell he was a football player, and got my purse back. I couldn't see who my savior was, but he was walking towards me. I ran up to meet him half way. I didn't even look to see who it was before I started thanking him.

"Thank you so much. I didn't even see that guy coming, I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't caught him."

"It's no big deal Quinnie, just trying to save a damsel in distress."

I knew that voice. It was none other than Puck. Besides he's the only one who's ever called me Quinnie. I don't know why but he made me feel safe, happy, and annoyed all at the same time.

"I was not in distress and I defiantly did not need saving," I rolled my eyes.

"Well according to what you just said before you don't know what you would've done without me," Puck smirked his infamous smirk.

"Yea well thanks, but I gotta get going I have work."

I started walking away when Puck grabbed my wrist. I felt a shock go through my vein but I shook it off

"What do you want Puck?" I pulled my hand away.

"Well it seems like we're going in the same direction."

"Oh joy," I mutter.

"Contain your excitement, Quinnie," Puck said wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I shrugged away, but he just did it again.

"Puck, I really don't have time, I have to go to work."

"Fine where do you work?"

"Dunkin Donuts," I quickly said.

"Perfect," he smiled.

It was the first time he actually smiled instead of smirked.

I just started walking, I was only a block away, but if I didn't start moving I would be late. I prayed Puck wouldn't follow me, but of course he did.

"So Quinnie, can I get a discount on my coffee," he winked.

"Well since you aren't family or even a friend, I'm gonna say no."

"But I'm your hero doesn't that count for anything?"

"Urgh fine but just this once."

Once we reached my work, we went our separate ways. I went behind the counter to start my shift and Puck went to wait on line. There was only one other worker besides me. Her name was Suzy, but we didn't talk. The line moved quickly and soon the guy ahead of Puck was up.

"Hi sir, what can I get for you?"

"I'll have a medium black coffee, a plain bagel, and maybe a date with you."

Typical. I've heard that line so many times,phrased so many different ways. I was just about to respond when...

"She's not interested buddy, keep moving," Puck intervened.

"And what do you have to do with her answer," the customer questioned.

"Well bud she's my girlfriend," Puck declared

What did he just say!?

"No I'm not Puck," I said in shock.

"Well maybe you could be," Puck winked.

I rolled my eyes but inside I got this strange feeling.

"Before this goes any further, I'm sorry but I'm not interested," I told the customer.

"Ok that's fine," the customer replied, "have a good day." With that I handed him his order and he left.

"That just leaves you and me babe," Puck said trying to take my hand.

I instantly pulled away. I was so furious at him. Why would he pull something like that?

"Come with me," I said grabbing his hand.

I called to Suzy that I would be right back. I lead Puck to the alley behind the building. As soon as we got there I instantly dropped his hand.

"What's wrong darlin," Puck asked genuinely confused.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Do you realize what you just did? I could have gotten fired," I yelled.

"That guy was bothering you so I stepped in."

"That guy did nothing wrong, I wasn't even interested. Anyway why do you care? We literally just met each other last night."

"I don't know," Puck shrugged.

"Well find me when you know."

I turned and walked away. I heard Puck call my name but I didn't look back. That was not a good way to start my work day.
