Part 4

After practice everyone was abuzz regarding my accusations against Quinn. It seems that since the events of the previous weekend, everyone saw the same possibilities that I did, but hadn't put the pieces together. As I go through my locker I am a little sad that the assignment is over. I enjoyed spending time with Sam and without the assignment, why would he want to spend time with me?

"Aren't you done yet, Berry?" Noah all but whines as he comes up to my locker.

"In a hurry?" I query.

"Mercedes, Lauren, Sam and the Changs are waiting for us," Noah answered, gesturing to the front doors of the school.

"Why?"

"Because we're going to go grab something to eat," sighs Noah as if I should already know this. "I think the not so ambiguously gay duo are joining us too."

"You really shouldn't call Kurt and Blaine that," I chastise.

"Blaine thinks its funny," Noah retorts, "and Kurt laughs at anything he does so I'm good. Now let's get moving. Your knight in shining hoody is waiting."

"My knight in what?" I laugh.

"Sam," Noah rolls his eyes at me. "The guy whose pants you want to get into."

"I most certainly do not!" I feel my face turning red. "That is a totally inappropriate thing to say to me!"

"I can read you like a book," Noah chuckled. "He walks into the room and you immediately avert your eyes for a second before looking at him. You give him that super mega watt smile. You blush when he compliments you. You SO have the hots for him!"

"Why are you spending so much time watching me?" I ask suspiciously. "No wonder Quinn thought we were dating."

"I watch everyone," Noah replies with a shrug. "How else am I going to be able to get the one up on someone if I don't know what's going on? For example, I notice that Lauren stares at my ass when she thinks I can't see her even though she is playing hard to get. I see Principal Figgins ogling Coach Sylvester. which totally creeps me out, but has gotten me out of a few detentions. In the last week I have seen Sam watching you. Not in a creepy stalker way, but in a making sure you are okay way. If it was the stalker way, I would have to kick his ass. It takes a lot of hard work to be such a badass."

"He has really been watching me?" I ask before I can stop myself. I cringe when I see the 'told you so' look on Noah's face.

"You want to suck face with that huge mouth of his in a bad way, Berry!" Noah laughs.

"Why am I friends with you?" I ask teasingly as I close my locker and begin walking down the hall.

"Because we hot Jews need to stick together," Noah smirks as we come upon the others. "If the apocalypse happens we might be the only two Jews left to populate our race."

"Then sadly, our race would die out," I laugh.

"Wow Puckerman," Mike jokes, "not even the end of the world will get you into her pants."

"Shut it, ninja boy," Noah chuckles as he pushes Mike's shoulder.

"Don't make me get the hose out," Mercedes smirks as Noah and Mike get into a shoving match,

"I knew you wanted me all wet, my dark chocolate mama," Noah smirks at Mercedes and raises his eyebrows suggestively.

"In your dream, white boy," Mercedes retorts then adds as she sees Noah about to speak again. "And if you try and tell us about your dreams I might just be sick and that will ruin our little trip to Mario's."

"Can it, Puckerman," Lauren adds. "I want me some deep dish pizza with everything. Ruin our pizza run and I ruin you."

"Is that a promise?" Noah asks, his face a mask of innocence.

"Let's go, horn dog," Mercedes sighs in exaggerated annoyance. "We're supposed to meet Kurt and Blaine in 10 minutes."

"Hey, Rach?" Sam calls me as we make out way to the parking lot. When I turn to look at him he continues. "Want to ride with me?"

"I'd love to," I smile, probably that mega watt one Noah had referred to.
