(Down in the conversation between Kurt and Mercedes during glee, Kurt speaks first.)
"There are no men in shining armor, only retards wrapped in tin foil."
It's almost time to go to school, Rachel. Rachel thought to herself in anticipation for the next day. She got up early, went through her morning workout, and started to get ready. She put on her bright red tank top with a form fitting black shrug to go over it. Underneath she wore a matching set of black underwear with hot pink polka dots with black lace, and blue skinny jeans with black boots. She did her smoky eyes, put her lip gloss on, and made her new side-swept bangs fell over her forehead the right way. She jumped into her purple Prius and began the achingly long drive to school.
When she finally got to school, she opened the doors and began to strut the way Kurt taught her. Indeed, many of the guys did double takes, wondering who the new hot chick at school was. Honestly, Rachel knew she wasn't very popular, but she didn't think she was literally invisible. Especially after the whole Finn drama, I mean, for Celine's sake! However, she kept her eyes straight forward, slight smirk on her face, and went right to Mercedes' locker.
"Rachel, you look hot!" Mercedes exclaimed when she set eyes on Rachel.
"Thanks! I feel… not invisible!" Rachel told her gleefully.
"That's great. I'm glad everything worked out." Mercedes said sincerely.
Kurt walked to Mercedes and Rachel and joined in their conversatioin.
"Rachel, your grand entrance was smoking. You did everything perfectly." He said in a satisfied manner.
"Great! Now what? I honestly didn't think anything like this would happen." Rachel said.
"Honestly, I didn't either. I mean you look like a totally different person!" Mercedes said excitedly.
"Now, you have fun with it!" Kurt said. "I want to know how much you can work it without my guidance."
"You can do this! You need to work that skinny ass!" Mercedes said strongly. "Come on Rachel!"
"I can do it." Rachel said self-assuringly.
"Hey baby." Puck said seductively, putting an arm around Rachel's waist and talking into her ear. "So dollface, how about we go out some time? Come on beautiful, I would be a great boyfriend."
"Get off me honeybunch." Rachel spat, shoving him away from her and walking promptly in the other direction. "And by the way, if you were a great boyfriend, Quinn wouldn't be pregnant."
Puck looked after Rachel in disbelief. Nobody had ever rejected him like that before. No one could resist Tactic 3 Edition 5! Come on, the Puckerone was ripped! Whatever.
"Rachel Berry, you are flawless." Jacob said, trying to be seductive.
"Thanks, but no thanks." Rachel retorted bitterly.
"Come on, don't be like that." Jacob said, attempting way to hard to be alluring.
"Out. Of. My. Way." Rachel lsaid angrily, trying to push past him.
"NO!" Jacob yelled, as he lunged for her, attempting to find her mouth as he slammed her against the locker, while she tried to push him off her and attempted to keep her mouth anywhere but on his. Then, Jacob heard someone clearing their throat behind him. He turned around fearfully.
"Hey Jew-Fro. What did we say about Berry?" Puck asked menacingly.
"Out of the way, Puckerman. Thanks for that, but I didn't need your help." Rachel said.
Jacob, who was scared to the point of peeing himself, fled the area, whimpering all the while.
"Sorry, but did I not just see freak show all up in your business?" He asked disbelievingly.
"Sorry" she said mimicking him. "But I was just about to push him off."
"Berry, you are so full of bull."
"I am not! I had it under control!"
"Right. And I'm ugly. Why can't you just deal with someone being your knight in shining armor?" He asked exasperatedly.
"There are no knights in shining armor, only retards wrapped in tin foil." Rachel said curtly. With that she turned on her heel, and strutted away.
"Well at least I didn't get slapped this time…" Puck muttered, unconsciously checking out her ass in her new jeans.
Later, in Glee, Mercedes, Kurt, and Rachel sat together. Rachel wasn't ranting about Puck anymore. There were two reasons for that.
Flashback to conversation after 1st period.
"I do not know why you're complaining. Puck is a fine piece of ass and all you have to do is play damsel in distress." Mercedes told her.
"Yes, but I do not like him that, and he doesn't like me that way either!" Rachel exclaimed.
"Honey, I thought you were being a little ungrateful." Kurt told her honestly.
"Excuse me? Ungrateful? I was standing up for my rights as a women. He thinks he can meander around playing knight in shinging armor for the millions of girls who need his help! I DON'T THINK SO!" Rachel yelled angrily.
"Well, if everything happened the way you said, then by now you would be in the hospital testing for pregnancy." Kurt said seriously.
"Gee thanks. And by the way, I had the situation under control! I was just about to push him off!" Rachel said heatedly.
"Yeah and I'm a skinny ginger." Mercedes said sarcastically.
"Whatever."
So Rachel was done arguing with them.
Reason two, they wanted to talk "alone". Well crap.
Even though she knew that they were talking about her, she didn't really mind. After all, she would rather have friends that are talking about her without her, than a room full of people who didn't want to talk to her at all. The good news was, she could totally hear their entire conversation.
"She needs a boyfriend. I think Puck is the perfect choice."
"Yeah, but before that happens, one of them is going to end up dead!"
"Well who would you suggest?"
"What's wrong with Finn?"
"Oh please. We want for her to have a boyfriend, not to be bored to death." he said, rolling his eyes.
"I have had enough." Rachel said. "Mr. Schue? I would like to perform a song that shows how I really feel." She looked pointedly at Kurt and Mercedes. Mercedes had the decency to avert her eyes. Kurt just stared back just as pointedly.
"Go for it Rachel."
I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't This is my current single status I'm single Ah yeah Uh Huh that's right Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good

'Til then I'm single
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant
After she finished singing, everyone clapped for her, because honestly she did a good job. Mercedes looked ashamed, and Kurt just crossed his arms discontentedly. The bell rang, and Rachel went to gather her things and leave. She was just starting to pick her books up from underneath her chair.
Suddenly, the door to the choir room slammed, and she heard the click of a lock. "Oh no." She muttered, as she ran to the door frantically and tried to get it open.
"Somebody help! Unlock the door!" Rachel yelled as loud as she possibly could.
"Sorry, sweetie. This is for your own good. I promise!" Kurt's muffled voice came through the door.
"Sorry Rachel! I tried to tell him no but he didn't listen!" Mercedes said apologetically.
"Then unlock the door!" Rachel said in a "duh" voice.
"Sorry, no can do. Kurt would-"
"Yeah yeah. Whatever, I gave up on you when you said 'sorry'. Kurt, please!" Rachel pleaded one more time.
"It really is for your own good." Kurt said once more.
"Why would it be for my own-" Rachel started.
"Well, fuck." Rachel heard from behind her.
She turned around slowly, hoping with all her heart that it was not who she thought it was.
"Sup Berry." Puck said smirking.
"Noah." Rachel said coldly.
"Be nice." Kurt said from the other side of the door. "We'll be back for you soon. Or maybe not." She could almost hear the evil smirk on his face.
