Disclaimer: I don't own this. And I want to say a HUGE thank you to my best friend Karissa because she gave me the idea for this next chapter. I had no idea where I was going with it. And sorry it took so long. I've been pretty busy. R&R please. :)
Rachel's POV
"What! You're going to his house on Friday?" Adelaine and I had been talking during lunch the next day. Our lunch table consisted of Adelaine, Kurt, Artie, Tina, Finn, and I. Puck sat with the football players, which was very good for this conversation. "Adelaine Grace, you cannot go over to his house! That is just crazy. All he is, is a-a-a stuck up, no good jerk." When I said that, she looked at me in utter shock. Which I don't blame her, I did have feelings for him at a time but that was the past and I can't let the new, naive girl go thru the same mistakes that I went through.
"But Rachel, I already promised him that I would come over. And I don't like having to go back on my word. And I would like to hang out with him." She said with a desperate voice.
"Well you have to be careful. Don't just fall all over him, which is what he wants. Believe me I know. But if you are going to go over to his house you have to be careful and text me if there is a problem and I can come and get you. Okay? Promise me!" she nodded her head. "Good." The lunch bell rang and we headed back to class. Spanish with Mr. Schue next period, this will be fun.
Adelaine Grace POV
Last class Friday
'Three…Two…One…' RRRRIIINNNNGGG. Finally the bell rang to dismiss us from last class. I grabbed my books and darted for the door before Rachel could stop me. I didn't want her to remind me of the talk we had had yesterday at lunch about Puck. So I all but ran out of the class, as I hit the door I heard Mr. Schue call my name. "Yes Mr. Schue?" I asked him as I turned around.
"I was just going to remind you that we have rehearsal on Monday after school to get ready for the performance next Friday so have a good weekend and keep practicing."
"Oh sure Mr. Schue. See you on Monday." I got to the door and kept walking. I had to stop at my locker and as I turned down the hall I saw a group of guys all standing around down from my locker. But I didn't think anything about it; I mean it was just the football team, nothing impressive. As soon as I walked by though I heard whistles and the cat calls. "As usual," I thought, ever since I moved here that was all I have heard; this was going to be a long year. But instead of giving into it, like they wanted, I just opened my locker and looked for my book. When I closed my locker I was expecting to find one of the jerks off the football team but instead it was Puck. "Oh, hey, I wasn't expecting you to talk to me outside of Glee," I said. He took my books from me and started to walk so I followed him out towards the parking lot. My mom should be here soon to pick me up but he just kept walking towards his truck. He opened the door for me to get in so I did. He started the truck without a word and started to back out. "Umm, where are we going?" I asked him I think he realized then that I couldn't read his mind and didn't know where he was taking me.
"Well you were planning to come to my house right? I figured it would be just as easy to go ahead and go now. You can call your mom and let her know." He turned back to start backing out of the parking space. I sent my mom a quick text just telling her that I was going to Noah's now instead of later and would call her later when I needed to go home. By the time I finished the text we were already out of the parking lot.
"So, what exactly was the football team talking about after school?" I asked him when he didn't seem to be trying to make conversation with me.
"Well, do you want the truth or the nice girl version?"
"The truth, always the truth" I said to him.
"They were making bets on how long until someone asks you out"
"Oh, I figured it was them giving you a lot crap about hanging out with me tonight. I know Rachel was giving me a hard time." He shot me a look.
"What were you and Rachel talking about me?" he laughed a bit.
"Nothing really just you and me hanging out tonight." Thankfully we were to his house and he pulled up into the drive way.
"Well come on, you don't want to sit in the car all night do you?"
We got out of the car and walked up the porch to the house he opened the door and we headed up some stairs and he opened a door to which I guess was his room. This will be a fun night I thought to myself, but I kept thinking of what Rachel said to me at lunch as we sat down on the floor of his room and I looked at his beautiful eyes. He started the music to the song Mr. Schue gave us to practice. It is a part of the song from Beauty and the Beast "Something There". After the long intro it finally got to the part where I started singing.
"There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
And now he's dear
And so I'm sure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before"
"She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw
No it can't be
I'll just ignore
But then she's never looked at me that way before" He knew just when to come in and had the most amazing voice. Why would Rachel warn me to stay away from him? He is awesome.
"New and a bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be?
True that he's no Prince Charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see"
As I finished the last line of the song I looked up at him. He was just inches from my face. And I couldn't help myself, he leaned in and I leaned in with him and kissed him.
