Here's the next update. Thanks for being patient with the updates, I know that they haven't been daily the last week or so. I'm trying to write chapters ahead of time but I'm having a hard time finding the time to do it. Anyways, Enjoy!
I own nothing.
Rachel dropped into a chair in the choir room and stared at the floor tiredly. She was exhausted and it was only lunch break. She had been halfway to the quad when she realised that she didn't particularly want to eat lunch with the majority of her 'friends'. She'd gotten a lot more looks after the second blog update. Her breakup with Finn wasn't as interesting as her fight with Kurt. Even the uninterested knew that their fights could be explosive. She had known that things would be awkward with her there so she had decided to head to the choir room instead. She opened her lunch bag and pulled out a peanut butter sandwich.
"Hey Berry, I'll trade you your sandwich for my hamburger?" Noah said with a laugh as he threw himself into the chair next to her.
Rachel just laughed because she knew that he wasn't serious. He was in fact mimicking a question that Finn had asked her two weeks previous.
"I still can't believe that after 3 years of on again off again bullshit he still doesn't know you're a vegan babe." He said thoughtfully as he stole a carrot stick. "I believe hundred percent that Carole dropped him on his head. Repeatedly."
"That would explain his ugly mug." Santana added as she strutted into the room and sat on Rachel's other side.
Rachel was just about to respond when Sam and Quinn walked in the door. She smiled brightly at her friends as the two blondes grabbed chairs and placed them in a semi-circle in front of her.
"What are we talking about?" Quinn asked as she handed Rachel half of her orange.
"The probability that Finn was dropped on his head as a child." Rachel answered before snorting in laughter.
"I don't think that even Vegas would take those odds Rach." Sam answered with a grin.
The friends all laughed together as they swapped lunches. Quinn studied her friend quietly before speaking.
"I saw the video this morning." She said suddenly.
Everyone turned their attention to the two girls.
"Yes, well I'm fairly sure that everyone has by now." Rachel answered offhandedly.
"Rach, we're friends now. I just wanted to make sure that you knew that I don't plan on going there again," her eyes unconsciously darted to Sam before returning to Rachel. "I was really angry that he tried to use me to hurt you. I promise that nothing happened while you were together and nothing is going to happen ever again."
Rachel smiled at Quinn and squeezed her hand.
"I know. He was angry and he said a lot of crap honestly. Don't worry about it. He and I are over and I feel pretty good about it." She answered simply.
"Crap? Awesome." Sam said with a grin.
"Oh Sammy! You've been sick over the last week so you totally missed most of 'The Corruption'. Rachel Berry swears now!" Santana said excitedly as Rachel glared at her.
"I have not been corrupted Satan," Rachel hissed. "I've just...loosened up."
"Did she just call you Satan? Rachel Berry you have loosened up." Sam replied with wide eyes.
"Ha ha."
Puck got up and crossed the room to grab his guitar. Taking his seat again, he absentmindedly strummed a tune as they continued to hang out.
"So I heard that Beyonce got his panties in a twist this morning." Santana stated.
"He puts a lot of faith in Jacob's gossip skills apparently. We exchanged words."
"Yeah? Coz I heard that he called you a slut." Puck threw in angrily.
"That little fucker. I'ma gets my bitchslappin' on." Santana said as she straightened her ponytail.
Rachel looked between the two of them and just started laughing. Sam and Quinn joined in quickly because their friends looked a little ridiculous. It was also strange to see Satan sticking up for Rachel.
"Don't worry about it San. And Noah please don't do anything that could be detrimental to your future." She smiled when he only scowled in response. "San?"
"I'm not promising anything. Kid's a bitch sometimes." She said with a shrug.
"Seriously Lucifer? Is there like a rule that only you're allowed to be a bitch?" Rachel asked with a snort.
Puck and Quinn laughed as Sam's jaw dropped. He had really missed a lot while he had the flu.
"Nah, we both know that you're bitchy enough to keep up with me any day. Hummel on the other hand gets on my last damn nerve. He ever calls you a slut again I'm gonna rearrange his face and then burn his Marc Jacob's collection while he watches."
"Deal."
"Speaking of Sebastian Smythe, there's a lacrosse game after school B." Santana grinned evilly.
"No one was speaking of him Satan." Rachel answered with a glare.
"So it's true? I thought he was gay." Quinn asked dreamily. "He's unbelievably good looking."
Rachel tried not to laugh when Sam glared at the thoughtful look on Quinn's face. Satan laughed though and so did Puck. He blushed hotly before looking at the floor.
"Anyways, as I was saying. Tall, dark and sexy will be here today because he's the captain of the Dalton Lacrosse team."
"Tall, dark and sexy? What happened to Tall, dark and evil?" Rachel asked with some amusement.
"Well he can't be totally evil if he wanted to defend you while the Hungry Hungry Hippo flipped out." Santana answered with a shrug.
"You mean he's just misunderstood like Noah here?" Rachel teased as she threw an arm around his shoulders.
"Whatchu goin' on about now B?" Puck asked with mock irritation.
"Well you were all about tossing dweebs in lockers and hooking up with cougars and tossing slushies sophomore year. But you were just lashing out because you needed attention. It took you awhile to realise that you craved positive attention instead." Rachel said simply.
"Plus you always stood up for Rachel when we made fun of her. And whenever Finn was being an idiot." Quinn added.
"You think you got me all figured out huh?" Puck grumbled with real irritation this time.
"Yes." Rachel said as she climbed onto his lap playfully. "You're basically a big troubled teddy bear."
Puck continued to grumble even as his arms wrapped around Rachel.
"I'm a badass." He said petulantly as Rachel giggled.
"The cuddliest badass I've ever met."
The friends all laughed aloud as he tried to level her with a glare and failed as a smile lit up his face.
"Shut up midget." He answered as he tickled her.
"Yeah yeah, we can all feel the love tonight. Are we going to this lax game or not?" Santana asked snapping her fingers.
"San have you ever been to a lacrosse game?" Sam asked.
"Has anyone?" They all shrugged in response.
"Excellent. Well it's a plan. We're going to that game to get Berry laid." Santana said with a smirk.
"Santana!" Rachel yelped.
I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know!
