Becca's Point of View

Coach Sylvester isn't high on my dislike list, but at the same time were are far from friends. Gym class has always been a form of torture however that was because of the Cheerios. If Quinn and the others had not been in my class, then I think I wouldn't be on Mrs. Sylvester's radar. But as fate has it, I know a secret about Coach Sylvester. It's not like I caught her having sex or anything like that. Cause if I did then I'd be in therapy. In fact it's the complete opposite. I found that our demanding cheerleading coach has a softer side. But still her being co-director only makes my life a little worse. I just wish this week was over with already.

"You all can go." Mr. Schue said dismissing us. Thank God. I just want to get the hell out of here and go home. However, it appears my friends want to grill me over the other afternoon. Mercedes and Kurt are at my sides while Artie, Tina, and Rachel trail behind.

"So Becca do you care to divulge any deep dark secrets you've been harboring? A secret love maybe?" Mercedes said.

"Nothing is going on. No secrets. No love. Just a stupid mistake."

"It didn't look that way the other day." Kurt added.

"He doesn't like me. Puckerman made that very clear yesterday when I asked him to explain his actions. He said it was a mistake caused by the decongestive pills he was on. Okay. That's it. Can we please just drop it?"

I guess everyone could see how upset I was because they tried to cheer me up. Rachel reminded me I still had Wes, while Artie offered to let the air out of Puck's tires. Sometimes I forget how great my friends can be when I'm down. After a few minutes they decided we all needed to go out to eat to cheer me up and gossip about the new troubles we were going to have to endure at the hands of Sue Sylvester.

The dinner with the guys went well and to top it all off Wes called to reschedule our now official first date to that Saturday after the football game. I was happy. My crappy day ended on a good note.


Normal Point of View

Saturday morning Becca spent working at the cleaners. She was there until close then she had to hurry to the school to meet the football team. The weather was rather warm so Becca felt comfortable in shorts, a t-shirt, and her football sweatshirt on top. As she pulled into the parking lot in her mom's car, she found Finn waiting for her.

"Hey Becca. How's it going?"

"Could be better. You?"

"Same." They began to walk to the locker room awkwardly silent. "I got to ask you something about the other day."

"I assume you mean when Puck kissed me?"

"Yea. I know he talked to you afterwards and was kind of harsh. I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Thanks but I'm fine. It seems like a good idea to just put it behind me. It's not like any thing could happen. Not only has he tormented me for years but being a jock is very important to him."

"I've seen the way he's around you. And the way he talks about you now. He likes you."

"Did he say something to you?" Becca asked mildly concerned. At this point Puck's feelings towards her didn't really matter.

"No, trust me he'd kill me if he knew we were talking about this. Still we've been best friends for years. I know when he's interested in a girl just for looks. But you. It's different."

"Well he told me we wouldn't work out. And I'm pretty sure Wes is going to become more of a presence in my life so as of right now nothings going to happen. I'm going to push the last few weeks out of my mind and go back to being the geek I am. I'll still help out with football but I'm done trying to make other jocks understand me. Matt and Mike are okay. But you're the only one that I'm comfortable with."

He broke into a smile at being set apart from the others. "Thanks Becca. I got to go get dressed."

"Alright I'll see you out there Finn. And thanks. You definitely made me feel better."

Becca headed down to the field to find a few of the defense sitting on the benches waiting for the rest of the team. They nodded politely to her but left her alone. Aside from Carl, the others had lessened up on her. No names or slushies. But at the same time most of them were not going out of their way to welcome her. She was in glee so that made her a geek in their eyes. So unless it was football related they didn't talk to her in school. At first that bothered her. But after the week she had, Becca was content to stay in her world rather than theirs.

The next two hours the team practiced with no incidents. Becca did her best not to worry about Puck. But every chance he got, he tried to talk to her. Luckily she was able to dodge him every time she saw him coming. Finally six o'clock came around. Tanaka called for break to get food. Most of the guys set out to get food at the pizza shop. "Are you coming?" Matt asked Becca as they left the field.

"No I'm going to borrow one of the school computers. I got a paper for history due Monday and my computer is broke." This was only half true. A paper was due, however, her computer was fully functioning. In reality she just wanted to be alone for awhile.

"Do you want us to pick up anything for you?"

"No thanks. I'll just raid the vending machine. See you guys in an hour." Some of the guys waved as they left but Becca was already going to the computer lab. After three quarters of an hour her paper was completely done and ready to print. As she hit print, she saw Puck enter the room carrying a Burger King bag.

"Matt said you were just going to the vending machine so I grabbed you some burgers."

"Why are you here Puck?" Becca was angry he thought he could just act like friends.

"Burgers." He said awkwardly as he held the bag higher. Had it been different Becca would have laughed.

"Thanks. Okay. I'll pay you back later. Now you can go."

"I wanted to say sorry too. I shouldn't have been such a jerk. It's just you make me so confused. You are a cool chick but."

"We don't match." She finished his thought.

"Yea I just don't know what to do."

"Well you don't have to worry. I like Wes. So your choice has been made for you." he actually looked hurt which made Becca feel bad. "We can be friends though. If you want."

Puck smiled nicely. Becca grabbed her papers then headed to the field with him. 'you know we could be friends with benefits." he said mischievously but as a joke.

"Don't think so Puck. Tried that before. Doesn't always work." His eyes almost bugged out of his head. It never crossed his mind that she had ever gone further than kissing with a guy.

"I thought you. I never would of."

"Oh will you stop. Like I've said a hundred times, there's quite a bit you don't know about me."

"How can I find out more?"

"Through friendship. I know it sounds corny but I'm not about to reveal all my secrets or thoughts to you. We need to build trust or else it's always going to be jock verse geek thing."

"Alright. Fine." Puck sounded like a child being told no. Then his expression changed. "Could you tell me who?"

"One day maybe. But certainly not today."

"Damn. You're cruel to leave me hanging."

"I know." She said happily as she joined the rest of the guys.

"I'm the biggest idiot ever." Puck said silently to himself.
