A/N: Sorry it took so long guys!! I had regionals for science Olympiad this weekend and I have literally been studying every single second of my free time. Guess what? WE'RE GOING TO STATES!!!!! woot woot!
A/N 2: Enough of my rambling!! Rachel takes a new approach today!! Also, I felt Kurt deserved something ;)
K:
"Day one, complete. Good job Rachel, we've got this in the bag."
"Okay, so what's tomorrow's plan?"
"Ignore him completely."
That threw her.
"Excuse me?"
"That's right. Oh wait, except for a few sultry glances his way all through the day."
"That doesn't make any sense."
"Well honey, if you sit there and cling to him it makes you seem desperate. You have to seem independent. The glances will show that you're still interested."
"But he's the most renouned player at McKinley High School. Won't he know what I'm doing?"
"It's not even going to cross his mind sweetie. Here's why. One, he's going to be too distracted by your legs. Two, he goes after girls, girls don't go after him. He's actually pretty inexperienced in this area. Tres, he doesn't think you can pull it off."
"I don't know, but you know best."
"Good, now let's see your strut."
P:
Once again, Rachel goes above and beyond. She is wearing an outfit that hits closer to home today though. She's wearing a little black skirt, but the good news- it's not pleated. On top she's wearing a pink tank with a little cream jacket that went halfway down. She wore a pair of little pink heels that made her legs look amazing. I went to approach her by her locker but she just looked up at me through her eyelashes (hot) shut her locker, and strutted away. We're still doing the bet, right?
R:
I did exactly as Kurt said. Noah looked pretty bewildered, but he didn't look aroused. Well this is just spectacular.
"Hey there, sexy."
Wait, wait for it….. BRAD!
"Hey Brad." Here's my chance! Noah's still watching, I can tell. I can make it seem like I'm not interested but I am.
"I see you're still dressing hot. But hey, I'm not complaining!" Brad said with a wink.
I gave my best twinkly giggle.
"Well I have to go to my next class. Au revoir!"
"French. Hot. Later Rachel."
I looked over my shoulder to see Noah looking at me with a mixture of incredulity, amusement, and a little something else I couldn't place. I take that as success.
K:
I see Rachel is listening to me. Today, Glee got rescheduled, so we met at lunch. She sat next to me, on the opposite side of the room from Puck, who couldn't stop staring. I saw her shoot him a glance once, but that's it. That is what I call commitment.
"So, sweetie, how are you holding up?"
"I think I'm doing okay. I tried to make him jealous though. I think it worked."
"Oohh do tell."
As Rachel went into detail, Mercedes, Artie, and Tina walked in.
"Okay, spill." Mercedes said in a tone that says 'I dare you to argue, bitch'.
"What are you talking about?" Rachel asked in the shortest yet most fake confused tone I have ever heard.
"Y-you guys are spending way t-too much time together. Something m-must be up."
I found my break the ice subject.
"You guys missed me. That's adorable. GROUP HUG TIME!"
Okay, I know that was pretty bad, and apparently, so do they.
"That was a fail." Artie said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"I know, I know."
"Well?" Mercedes asked in the same tone.
I looked at Rachel. She looked at me, sighed, and nodded. Then, we told them all about the bet.
Mercedes sat with her mouth wide open for the entire time. Tina stared at Rachel, eyes wide and gasped when appropriate (meaning every other sentence). In the end, Artie however, said the most unexpected thing ever.
"So, when are we going shopping?"
Everyone stared at him openly, every single mouth agape.
"Close your mouths, you'll catch herpes." He snapped at us.
"That doesn't even make sense." I said to him.
"Oh doesn't it?" He smirked at me. Okay. Today is a sign that the apocalypse is indeed in 2012.
"Um… I'm… er… sorry Artie, Kurt and I already went shopping." Rachel said incredulously
"Did you stop by Victoria's Secret?" He asked knowingly.
"HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN LINGERIE?? IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WEAPON IN OUR ENTIRE STOCK! I'M SO STUPID!" I screamed out to the world. Because honestly, how could I have forgotten?
"Then it's settled. We're going lingerie shopping after school today."
"Okay?" Rachel said uncertainly.
"Tina, Mercedes, you in?" He asked them.
All this time they were staring at Artie, with so much emotion that their faces were emotionless. They mumbled quiet agreements, and it was settled. Luckily, Puck didn't hear this entire conversation because he went to the nurse's office because he was feeling sick (aka, sleeping).
P:
When I woke up from my wet dream in the nurse's office, I realized it was about Rachel. Shit. This is going to be harder than I thought.
P:
I don't know what the hell was going on with Rachel today. First she pretty much ignored me except for looking at me like a grand total of two times. Even though those looks told me she totally wants to tap this. Can you blame her? But something's up. I would probably try to find out but I don't want to spend much more time around her. God knows how long I'll last.
Just then my little sister Sarah came and started bugging me.
"Noahhhhhh!"
"Whadya want twerp?" I said ruffling her hair.
"Can we go to the mall? I have to buy a dress for the dance on Friday!"
I rolled my eyes at my little sister's stupid little girl problems.
"Whatever twerp. Just don't expect me to do anything."
Now she rolled her eyes at me.
"As if! I don't want to go to the dance dressed as a freak, a prude, or a hoochie mama any time soon!"
I just grunted.
"Oh and by the way, I'm going to Victoria's Secret."
"WHAT?? YOUR FUCKING THIRTEEN YEARS OLD! WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU NEED TO DO IN VICTORIA'S SECRET?"
"Relax Noah. I'm going to Pink."
R:
Artie insisted on coming into Victoria's Secret with me. When I was looking for bras, Kurt pulled me aside.
"I think I am in love with that boy."
"Excuse me?"
"Artie. He's in Victoria's Secret shopping for bras. I love it."
"That's fabulous Kurt! What are you going to do?"
Before he answered me, his eyes went round as buttons.
"Rachel, you need to hide. Now!" He hissed at me.
"Why?"
I turned around and there I saw Noah Puckerman walking into Victoria's Secret with a disgruntled look on his face.
"CRAP!" I squealed.
I hid behind a table of panties when he walked by. Then he spotted Kurt.
"Kurt, what the fuck are you doing in Victoria's Secret?"
"I'll have you know I'm here with other people."
"Oh? Who would they be?"
"Tina and Mercedes." His chin jutted out arrogantly.
"Anyone else?"
"No, why would there be?"
"Okay. Just tell Berry that seeing her shopping for bras totally turned me on."
He smirked and turned away.
