CHAPTER FIVE
When Puck was ready for school he went downstairs to find the Berrys eating breakfast together. He sat down and joined in, pretty soon they were all laughing and talking like a family. Rachel was a lot more perky than usual but he put it to her being excited for school. She told him about this glee club she was in at school and said he should join. Puck agreed because he knew it would make her happy.
They walked into school hand in hand and Rachel was stumbling a little so he stopped her and looked into here eyes. Seeing her pupils dilated.
"Rachel? Are you drunk?" Puck asked. Rachel gulped and looked around, making sure no one could hear them.
"Puck my underwear doesn't match!" Rachel whispered with wide eyes, she said it like it was the most important secret in the world. Puck burst out laughing.
"What did you drink Baby?" He laughed.
"The tops pink and the bottoms are blue! I couldn't find the pink ones!" She whispered, gripping his shit in her hands.
"Alright Berry. Tell me what you've drank and I'll check your underwear," Puck reasoned.
"Um...I woke up and had a cup of tea," She tapped her lip thoughtfully, "Then I had some wine and it tasted like pink!" She said animatedly
"Jeez, why'd ya do that for?" He said. He saw Rachel's face fall and her bottom lip quiver.
"You're gunna run off with Quinn," She said looking at her toes. Puck crooked his finger under her chin and tilted her head up but her eyes wouldn't meet his and her hands fell from his body. So he claimed her lips in a heated kiss, licking into her mouth and swallowing her moan.
"I've never met someone like you Rachel," He whispered as he lent his forehead against hers, "I really like you though and when you're sober we're gunna talk. Alright?"
Rachel smiled and nodded before going on her tippy toes and kissing him again, she bit his bottom lip then smoothed it over with her tongue. His arms tightened around her and he groaned into her mouth, letting one hand wander down and squeezing her ass.
"Okay guys keep it PG!" They heard and turned their heads to see Kurt and Brittney.
Rachel laughed and jumped onto Puck wrapping her arms and legs around him. He carried her over to her friends.
"Sup guys," Puck nodded, depositing Rachel onto her feet and keeping a hand on her waist so she didn't stumble.
"Berry!" They heard someone shout, Rachel quickly turned around to be met with an ice cold slushy. She wiped the slushy from her eyes just in time to see Puck throwing her slushy attacker into the lockers.
"The fucks your problem?" Puck spat holding his arm over Karofsky's throat.
"And who are you?" Karofsky spat back.
"Your worst fucking nightmare if you're gunna go round throwing drinks at my girl!" Puck growled.
"Manhands is your girl?" He burst out laughing, "She's no poor fuckers girl."
"I think you need to watch your fucking mouth before I shut it for you," Puck raised his fist.
"Noah! You can't!" He heard Rachel squeal from behind him. "You can't get in trouble your first day! Come on, he's not worth it." She tugged at his arm.
Puck took a deep breath and glared at Karofsky before pushing himself off the wall and capturing Rachel's Cherry-slushy flavoured lips in his own.
"Come on," Rachel breathed against his lips as Kurt grabbed her arm to drag her into the bathroom. Puck lent against the as they cleaned Rachel up and Brittney helped Rachel out of her sticky top and into a new one. Once they were done Rachel looked completely normal again and she smiled taking his hand in hers.
"Thank you for stopping Noah."
Puck grinned and placed a sloppy kiss to her pulse point.
"What are you doing?" She giggled.
"They misses a bit!" Puck grinned.
"Come on love birds," Brittney said taking Rachel's hand and leading her out of the bathroom.
By the time lunch rolled by Puck had made one friend, called Matt Ruforth. He was a cool guy. Really laid back and he was on the football team and managed to get Puck a try out for after school.
He spotted Matt sitting with some guys from the football team and then saw Rachel eating her lunch in the far corner, she was sitting with quite a few people so he figured he'd catch up with her later.
"Yo Matt," He said sitting next to the boy and high fiving him.
"Sup man?" Matt said smiling, "This is my boy Puck, he's gunna try out after school."
"Sup bro," An Asian guy said knuckle bumping Puck, "I'm Mike."
Puck nodded.
"Sam," A blond guy nodded.
"Dave," A guy nodded, Puck turned to him, that was the guy who slushied Rachel.
"You slushied my girl," Puck grunted.
"What d'you do that for?" Matt asked Dave.
"His girl is Manhands!" Dave retorted.
Matt scoffed, "Well she is a bit insane."
Sam nodded, "She's a loser."
"Why?" Puck asked.
"She has this weird crush on Finn, our Quarter back and gave some guy a pair of her underpants to find out if Finn likes her or not!" Mike said.
Puck let out a scoff, "I can't see her doing something like that!"
"Trust me, she's nuts! She tells everyone she's a virgin as well but she screwed Chris White and Quinn's Halloween party last year."
Puck looked over at Rachel wondering if all of this could be true. She seemed like such a sweet honest girl but she was a good kisser and she'd said she'd never done that. Rachel caught his eyes and smiled shyly before looking away.
"I'm gunna go catch up with her, see you guys at practice," Puck nodded before stalking towards Rachel and taking the empty seat next to her.
"You made some friends?" She smiled, offering him her can of diet cola. He took a long swig and nodded at her.
"So you already know Kurt and Britt, so this is Mercedes, Tina and Finn," Rachel pointed to a black chick an Asian chick and a dopey looking guy. Puck glared at the dopey looking guy then Rachel, "Their in glee club," She beamed, "I've let Mr. Shuster know that you'll be auditioning after school."
"Can't," Puck mumbled making Rachel frown.
"Why? You said-"
"Chill Berry, got football tryout." He snapped at her picking up her drink for another mouth full.
Rachel bit her lip and glanced round at her friends.
"He isn't how you described him girl!" Mercedes said to Rachel.
"Yeah I thought he was your boyfriend?" Tina asked. Puck frowned, why had she been talking about him?
"H-he is," Rachel stuttered quietly with her eyes cast down.
Puck couldn't leave her hanging and looking so miserable in front of her friends so he took her hand so she would look at him.
"Just grumpy I haven't gotten a kiss yet," He mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear. Rachel's face immediately brightened and she lent up to peck his lips but Puck wove his fingers into her hair and deepened the kiss. Leaving her breathless as he pulled away.
"We need to talk at home," he whispered in her ear and she nodded.
Back at the Berry household Rachel and Puck saw her Dad's off on their trip and went up to Rachel's room to talk.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Rachel asked quietly, playing with her skirt nervously.
"Okay so first off who's Chris White?" Puck asked. Rachel's eyes widened and she looked down at her lap, biting her lip.
"I don't wish to discuss anything to do with him," Rachel got off the bed and tried to walk to the door but Puck caught her wrist.
"Rachel just tell me!" He snapped.
"I-I can't talk about him!" Rachel choked out, trying to keep her tears at bay.
"You fucked him didn't you?" Puck spat, anger bubbling inside him. Rachel let out a loud sob and ran from the room.
The next three days the teens barely spoke. Rachel stayed with her friends from Glee and Puck stayed with the guys on the football team. When they were at home they each stayed in their respective rooms.
On the third day Quinn approached Puck at lunch, pulling him into a janitor's closet and shutting the door behind her.
"Chris White is my boyfriend, Aaron White's brother. He's twenty-six years old and Rachel once came to one of our parties. At this party Chris drugged Rachel and nearly raped her. I don't even like Rachel but if you try bringing up that piece of shit in front of her again I will cut off your nuts. Got it?" Quinn spat, opening the closet door. Puck nodded as they both stepped out of the closet. Where he was met by Rachel, who was staring at them from across the hall. Rachel must have assumed the worst because she burst into tears and ran the other way.
