Chapter Three
The Birthday Slushie
As each day went past Noah seemed to be hanging out with Rachel more and more, which in his book was definitely not a bad thing, she even invited him to her seventh birthday, which was a lot better then his seventh birthday, which was a month and a half before hers.
No one attended Noah's birthday, well no one except for Rachel, which made it a pretty good birthday in Noah's book, even though she gave him that annoying encouraging smile as she looked around. They played a different range of games and ate heaps of lollies, from the lolly bags that his mom made for everyone that was given an invitation. As Rachel got called in for the night, Noah felt a little sad but then again he always did when that happened.
Rachel's birthday was totally different to Noah's, for one she had a lot of people that attended, their whole school was there and then some, two she had a huge jumping castle out the back and three she had her dad there, well actually, as Noah found out later, she had two dads there. That made Noah feel a little awkward, due to the fact that it was his first time seeing two men together in a relationship, and he was pretty sure that one boy there liked boys a little more then girls, but it was nothing to the way he felt when he began to notice that Rachel Berry was hanging around a boy, named Finn Hudson, a lot more then what she was hanging around him, he definitely didn't like that.
Through out the birthday Noah was trying to get close to Rachel, talk to her a little at least but it looked like she was ignoring him, which she had never done before. Noah tried to ignore the thought that he was embarrassing her by telling himself it was silly and that she wasn't ignoring him, she was just busy, but after three hours of trying your mind plays with you, even at seven years old but suddenly it hit him, if he can't get Rachel to notice him, befriend the boy that she does notice and hang around him. So he did, and in timely fashion. Finn seemed pretty easy to get along with, might have something to do with the fact that he's pretty stupid Noah thought to himself a second before a soccer ball hit Finn on the back of the head, which he didn't even notice, Noah had to hold back a laugh.
For the next few hours they played soccer, football, to which Rachel looked annoyed at, which made Noah smirk a little, to himself. Then a water fight came up and it was Noah vs Finn, they chased each other through the backyard with massive super soakers. Finn was winning and Noah knew he had to do something big to win and to get Rachel to notice him so he ran toward the drinks table and picked up a blueberry slushie. Noah turned quickly and, without looking to see if Finn was in front of him, chucked the slushie, with a laugh.
Next second Noah heard the shrill scream, which made him focus on the scene in front of him, and the laughing expression disappeared into a look of shock. In front of him stood a slushie soaked birthday girl in a dress that was blue (used to be white).
Noah looked around at everyone, it looked like the world had stopped and he was the focus of everyone's gaze. He opened his mouth to begin apologizing but what he heard made him freeze, Rachel Berry, with fury and tears in her eyes, screamed "GEEEEEET OOOOUUUUUUUTTTTT!"
Noah opened his mouth again but closed it as a hand landed on his shoulder, he looked up and saw one of Rachel's dad, damn he thought to himself before he heard the man say "I think it's time for you to leave son." Noah sighed and gave Rachel an apologetic expression, but didn't think it would help any, before he turned, walked out of the house, across the road, into his house and up to his room.
In the space of six hours, Noah managed to be ignored by the birthday girl, get a best friend forever (as he and Finn promised each other they would be somewhere in the space of three hours) and humiliate the one person in that party he cared about (although he was denying he cared anything for Rachel Berry) who also happened to be the birthday girl. Noah didn't sleep well that night with his mind working on how he could apologize to the birthday girl at school the next day.
Rachel didn't speak, or even acknowledge, him for the next six months. She could definitely hold a grudge.
I was thinking on doing this whole story in Puck's view but now I'm curios what you guys and girls want. So in review let me know if y'all want it all in Puck's view or have some in Rachel's view, as well as Puck's .
Hope you all enjoyed the sushie accident, I know I enjoyed writing it and picturing it and did all catch the comment about Kurt XD I think Chris Colfer (Kurt) rules!
