A/N I own nothing! I'd love more reviews and a big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to review, favourite and follow! Also I have just done a quick edit I was watching showmance as I was writing this chapter and put Push It instead of SNM it has been corrected!
Chapter 4
Rachel has been avoided Puck ever since the glee club's SNM performance and it seemed like he was doing the same. Sadly for Rachel, their performances caused the Unholy Trinity to join and she was not looking forward to see more of Santana, Quinn and Brittany… well maybe Brittany because the blonde girl was really sweet when she wasn't around the other two girls who made it their mission to make everyone who they didn't deem 'popular' lives hell. Kurt and Rachel linked arms as they walked into the choir room and groaned when the Cheerio's looked up at Kurt and Rachel at the same time before each rolling their eyes in union before they continued talking to each other once more.
"This is meant to be our safe haven Kurt," Rachel whispered to her best friend and Kurt let out a knowing sigh.
"Mr. Shuester won't let them be total bitches to us in the choir room… I think." Kurt mumbled and Rachel gave her best friend a nervous look as the two took their usual seats and waited for Puck and Mr. Shuester to arrive for their lesson.

Half way through the lesson when Rachel and Puck were about to sing a duet that Mr. Shuester thought would suit them perfectly, Quinn's hand shot up.
"Mr. Shuester I think I'd sound better for the female part." Quinn announced and Rachel turned her head so quickly she nearly stumbled over making Puck reach his arms out to steady her which annoyed Quinn further.
"Excuse me Quinn but this song requires an extremely long and difficult high note that I really can't see you pull off." Rachel replied and Quinn stood up and made her way over to the tiny diva.
"I'm better then you at everything man hands and don't you forget it!" Quinn snapped and Rachel took a step back as Quinn turned to Mr. Shuester with a sweet smile, "Can we at least try?"
"Um…" Mr. Shuester tried to work out which was the right decision.
He knew the part would sound a million times better with Rachel as their lead but if he switched Rachel with Quinn as the New Directions female lead just until Sectionals, there was a strong chance other people would join if the head cheerleader was the lead in glee club. Looking over at Rachel who was pleading with him to not let Quinn take her spot, Mr. Shuester sighed and turned to Quinn with a soft smile.
"You can be our lead until Sectionals Quinn all school performances are yours and if you can improve your voice, you may even become our permanent lead." Mr. Shuester smiled knowing he wouldn't let Quinn sing at competitions… that would definitely be Rachel's job.
"You're joking right? Please tell me you're joking." Kurt said standing up from his seat to hold Rachel's hand.
"Told you RuPaul I will always be better then you," Quinn sneered before taking a shocked Puck's hand and dragged him over to the piano to rehearse.
"I quit," Rachel announced and Mr. Shuester looked at Rachel clearly not having expected that in his plan, "Good luck winning with a horrible female lead." Rachel added matter of factly before spinning on her heel and stormed out of the choir room.

It has been two days since Rachel had quit glee club and everyone, even Santana and Brittany could see that Quinn was a horrible singer compared to Rachel.
"We need Rachel back," Artie announced after listening to Quinn miss another high note; one that Rachel would have nailed without breaking a sweat.
"Yep," Mercedes and Tina said at the same time and all three of them looked at Mr. Shuester.
"We don't need RuPaul you have me." Quinn sneered and Puck rolled his eyes.
"Baby stop for a second, yeah you're super-hot and an awesome cheerleader but… but Quinn you can't sing for shit, well not as well as Berry anyways." Puck told his girlfriend who looked Puck had just kicked her puppy.
"Do you think that?" Quinn demanded Santana and Brittany to answer and when they just looked away from their friend, Quinn knew their answer, "Fine see if I care." Quinn muttered before storming out of the choir room leaving everyone thinking the same thing; she can't do that as well as Rachel either.

"So Quinn left as female lead, we want you back Rachel." Puck told her when he walked into the empty classroom where Kurt told him she could be found in.
"I'm not coming back Puck," Rachel snapped, taking a bit of her apple before sighing, "I can't believe Mr. Shuester did that and nobody said anything besides Kurt," Rachel added quietly and Puck sat next to her on the desk she was sitting on.
"I did, the other day I mean. Quinn's good at a lot of things but singing… Rach that's all you," Puck told her and Rachel turned her head biting her bottom lip when she realised how close they were to one another.
"You think I'm a good singer Noah?" Rachel whispered before her eyes widened at the use of his first name, "I'm sorry, I know you don't-,"
His lips were soft of hers she noted, she hadn't expected him to kiss her but she liked it… her first kiss. Moving her lips, Rachel began to kiss him back and let out a soft moan when Puck cupped her face and kissed her harder, slipping his tongue inside of her mouth but keeping it classy and not shoving it down her throat. Pulling back, Puck tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and pecked her lips once more.
"Don't tell anyone this but, but singing with you is the best part of my day." Puck whispered before pecking her lips once more then standing up and leaving Rachel with her thoughts.
"My first kiss," Rachel whispered to the now empty room, pressing three fingers to her lips as a smile graced her face.
