The next day, Finn lumbered through McKinley High's doors and straight up to Rachel's locker to apologize. She looked so innocent and fragile as she got her books and shut her locker. Finn took a deep breath and followed her. "Rachel!" He called and she looked back, immediatly recognizing him then turning and walking faster away from him. "Aw Rach! Come on. I'm sorry!" Finn yelled as Rachel disappeared around a corner out of his sight. He felt a tug at his heart and he shook his head while turning away and walking to class.
Rachel breathed a sigh of relief when she walked around the corner and leaned against the lockers heavily. She clearly wasn't in the mood to face Finn today and have him accuse her some more. But she had heard him yell his apology even though she refused to accept it deep down. He had hurt her by saying that she was using him again! How stupid could one boy get? She asked herself as she waltzed into Algebra. She took her seat beside Brittany who was doodling on her notebook absently. "Hey Brittany." Rachel said flatly and Brittany just nodded her head in hello before returning to her picture. Rachel sighed and opened her book to start on the nights homework with Finn still dominating her thoughts.
Puck was sweet last night, and when Santana said hi today, he was back to his normal self. "Hey legs. Need some quality time?" He snickered and smirked back at his gang. Santana stood there, dumbfounded while he laughed and whispered to his friends. What Santana didn't see was the apology in his eyes that he couldn't say in front of his friends. She just turned around and stalked off before he could embarrass her anymore. She would blow up on him later, she thought at her locker. For now she had to get through that mornings classes.
He hadn't ment it to go far. She took it so literally this morning that he felt a guilty knot ball up in his stomach. He slowly stroded past her locker where she stood gathering her books up for her next classes. Puck felt his mouth go dry at the sight of her and it nearly knocked him off his feet. He took a deep breath before walking over to lean against the locker beside hers. She looked up for a second, but then she turned away and shut her locker before walking away. Puck frowned and hurried after her. "Whatever you have to say, I don't want to hear it." Santana said and continued to sail down the halls with him close on her heals. "Oh come on Santana! You know I didn't mean anything." He whined and a couple kids gave him weird looks. Puck gave them a smirk and swung his arm around her shoulder as if nothing was wrong. Santana shrugged it off and whirled her fury onto him. "You think you can play with my emotions after everything with Sam? Well it isn't going to work buddy cause you are nothing but a self centered ass." She replied and turned away. Puck stood there with his mouth hanging wide open as he stared after her. He shook his head and felt anger fill his mind as he walked towards his class. What he knew for sure was that he had alot of sucking up to do.
