A/N: Good afternoon lovely Gleeks! Before you read this chapter, I just wanted to thank you so much for the reviews I've already received! You're too sweet!
Chapter 2:
Surprisingly, Friday came quicker than Quinn had expected, and soon she was locking up her room and taking her suitcase out to the car before pulling out and heading to her mother's house, making a quick stop to say hello and drop off her things before heading out to McKinley High.
Her old high school hadn't changed in the years she'd been in college, and Quinn was filled with a mixture of nostalgia and a sense of being home again as she walked the familiar halls to the choir room as she had done countless times in the years before. Quinn's feeling of home only intensified as she entered the choir room, and a grin spread across her features as she saw all of her friends, old and new, for the first time in months.
"Quinn!" Rachel squealed excitedly "I'm so glad you could make it!" and before she knew it, Rachel had thrown herself at Quinn and was wrapping her in a tight hug.
"Tone it down a little, would you, Berry?" Santana said from where she stood by the piano "Its too early for you to be talking that high,"
"Santana!" Quinn smiled "Brittany!" the couple made their way over to her as Rachel let go, and she enveloped them both in a hug.
"Good to see you again, Q," Santana said.
"Yeah," Brittany added "we really missed you,"
"We didn't think you'd be the second last person here, though," Kitty put in "don't they preach excellence and nothing less at Yale?"
"Second last?" Quinn asked, doing a quick head count.
"Late again, Puckerman?" Santana said, looking over Quinn's shoulder "Some things never change, huh?" Quinn spun around to find none other than Noah Puckerman, dressed in his deep blue uniform, striding confidently into the choir room, the signature smirk on his face.
"Puck!" Quinn couldn't help but cry out as she saw him.
"Quinn," he stopped in his tracks, gazing at her before she made her way over and grasped him in a tight embrace.
"I missed you," she said in his ear.
"I missed you too," he mumbled, holding her head protectively against his chest.
"I hate to interrupt," Rachel said in what Puck liked to call her bitchy director voice "but we've got an hour till lunch and we need to come up with a way to show the kids at McKinley how cool glee club can be!"
Lunch that day was filled with costume cupboard raids, neon clothes, and an upbeat A-Ha number, and soon Rachel was pinning a sign up sheet to the notice board, and the group waited anxiously for students to sign up.
Rachel's phone went off at that moment, and she stepped aside to take a phone call. Quinn felt a hand close over hers then, and looked over to find that Puck had a hold of her hand, and was gently stroking her knuckles with his thumb.
"I've missed you so much, Quinn," he mumbled, just loud enough for her to hear.
"Me too," she returned, leaning in for a hug "Puck?"
"Mm?" he asked.
"What's happening with us?" Quinn spoke quietly, wanting this insecurity to be kept between them.
"I don't know," Puck admitted "I want us to be together though, Quinn, if you'll have me,"
"I do too," Quinn said "I love you,"
"You don't think you do anymore?" Puck asked, and Quinn shook her head "I don't think I love you either, I know I do, I have ever since we met in freshman year," Quinn couldn't help but smile at the memory, and Puck took the opportunity to peck her gently on the lips before Rachel returned to the group, who watched her anxiously, but she turned to Quinn and Puck,
"That was my mom," the brunette informed them "she and Beth have moved back to Lima."
A/N: So this was written before Loser Like Me and Homecoming came out so all I knew was cthat the alumni were back to get the glee club going and that they sung Take On Me; I know things are not the way they are in this, in the episode, but that's why, I hadn't seen it yet - this is also a story which is based on the spoilers just to set the scene of the alumni being back, so it doesn't particularly line up with season 6.
And yes, I am aware that the blue Air Force uniform is meant to be for special occasions, but it looks so amazing on Puck that I couldn't resist, so just roll with it, OK?
Also guys, don't mind that Yale comment, it's just Kitty being Kitty, plus I actually don't know that much about Yale, and I promise I don't ever mean to offend anyone!
Also, if you could leave some more reviews. I'd really love it!
