Okay first off thank you so much for everyone who favorited flagged and reviewed this story! It definitely made me all happy inside lol. Second I'll try and keep the updates coming as fast as I can. School is about to start and as much I should be working on my homework and what not, I know this is going to be just what my procrastinating self will be working on instead when I find the time. So here's chapter 2. Hope you enjoy :)

The students of McKinley High were littered throughout the parking lot immersed in conversations of summer break and trying to keep up with the hookups and breakups that occurred over the two-month period. Everyone was filtering their way into little cliques and embracing old friends when suddenly a black mustang roared into the lot. All heads seemed to turn and watch as the familiar car pulled into the coveted spot reserved every year for the senior who had the most pull at the school, in this case, Noah 'Puck' Corcoran.

Puck killed the engine of his car, knowing full well that all eyes were on him at the moment, he smirked and basked in the feeling of being the "Big Man on Campus." This year was supposed to be the best year of his life. Senior year was going to be awesome. He had football and girls and he was even thinking about trying out for the wrestling team and more girls. Behind him Rachel coughed and Puck was suddenly brought back down to earth. Sisters. He mentally rolled his eyes as he thought of the one thing that just might cause a problem in his perfect year.

Beside him Santana grabbed her bag and pulled the visor down to do one last make-up check. She glanced in the mirror and smiled back at her reflection. Santana knew she was hot and thankfully her boobs decided to fill out a little more over the summer. Santana smiled at her new found friends that were definitely going to come in handy this year when her eyes caught a glimpse of Rachel. Her little sister was shifting around in the backseat. Her bottom lip was was pulled in between her teeth and she wore that nervous look on her face that Santana knew so well. Santana silently cursed as her mind went back to the conversation she had with her mother. Why? They were all doing fine. Why did he have to come back into their lives now? They didn't need him. She shuddered as her mind traveled back to the past. How could he expect them to want to see him?

Santana was pulled out of her thoughts by her brother.

"Hold it. Before we go I need to cover some ground rules, " Puck turned his body around in the car, getting a good look at both his sisters. Santana zipped up her bag and fell back into her seat. She crossed her arms over her chest and waited, knowing all too well the little "speech" her brother was about to give.

"Alright. One...do not call me Noah. In school the name's Puck. Puh-uck. Got it." He enunciated the name, eyes going back and forth between his sisters checking to make sure they understood.

Rachel made an attempt to interrupt but he simply put up his hand.

"Two. Welcome to my Kingdom." He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the school and curved his mouth into a sly grin.

"Arrogant much?" Santana twirled her hair between her fingers.

Puck chose to ignore his sister's snide comment and continued.

"Now in my Kingdom, what I say goes. I'm not captain of the football team for nothing," Puck justified his claims. He turned around and stared directly towards Santana, "And I say my friends are off limits."

The older brunette merely scoffed and seemed rather unfazed by the statement, taking a sudden interest in her nails. Puck then cut his attention towards Rachel.

"You" Puck shoved his finger in Rachels face,"Guys period are off limits." Rachel scrunched up her brows in protest. Was he being serious?

"Which brings me to three. No Cheerios for you either. There is no way in hell your gonna be walkin around in some short slutty skirt, waving pompoms at the dickheads who go to this school."

"Guys love it when I show them my pompoms." Santana smirked as she spoke, seemingly lost in a memory.

"But Santana's a Cheerio?" Rachel raised an eyebrow.

Pucks eyes cut towards Santana, who still seemed lost in that memory "Well Santana wants to dress like a slut-"

"EXCUSE ME?! HEY! What about you man-whore!"Santana's focus snapped back to the conversation in the car and she glared at her brother. He was unbelievable. He could run around and do whatever he wanted, but they had to follow his rules? Get Real.

"Rachel don't listen to him. He tried the same thing on me when I first got here. He thought he could forbid me from joining the Cheerios!"

The older brunette shoved the car door open and leapt out. She folded the frontseat down and grabbed Rachels hand, pulling her out from the backseat.

"Hey I wasn't finished!" Puck shouted as he sulked inside the car and Santana bent down to get a good look at his face, "You are now!"She slammed the door shut and wrapped her hand around Rachel's wrist dragging the younger girl inside the building. She stomped her way up the stairs and shoved her way past the crowded hall, muttering under her breath the entire time about overprotective brothers and pompous assholes.

Rachel was scurrying along after her, "San" she called her sister's name and tugged on her wrist to get her to stop. She knew there was something else bothering the older girl. Santana was just using Noah to vent off steam she had accumulated from somewhere else. She was too quiet during the car ride over here and knowing Santana, Rachel knew she wouldn't just open up about what was really bothering her. If she asked Santana would only shut her out. She would have to wait and eventually the older girl would give in and tell what was really on her mind. But in the mean time...it was a guessing game to try and figure out what was behind those walls Santana had built.

"Santana!" Rachel put her foot down.

"What!" Santana came to an abrupt halt and whipped her body around, bringing her nose right up to Rachel's face. The older girl sighed as she took in her little sisters worried look and she placed her hand on her hips. Her foot tapped the floor one two three four times before her face contorted with anger again.

"He's just so dam annoying sometime." Santana slammed her fist against the row of lockers beside her, causing a bang to ring out in the hallway. Rachel jumped.

"Sorry." Santana shrugged her shoulders. She sighed and began to feel better already. Her eyes wandered around the hall and they landed on a scrawny freshman who was standing in front of the lockers across from her.

"What are you looking at Jew-fro." She snapped.

"San" Rachel gave her sister a stern look and turned apologetically towards the nervous boy.

"Hi Jacob."

"H-Hi Rachel. Hi Rachel's equally h-h-ot friend." Santana raised her eyebrow and was about to say something to the stammering idiot before her but Rachel beat her to it.

"Jacob this is my sister, Santana."

"Oh-h-h" Jacob sighed and the two sisters watched as a weird look fell across his face.

"Ew. Gross." Santana shook her head in disgust and the freshman darted down the hallway.

"Santana" Rachel crossed her arms over her chest wondering why her sister was always so blunt with everyone.

"What?" The older girl shrugged her shoulders, she didn't find anything wrong with her encounter with the weird freshman. Rachel could only shake her head and let a small smile appear on her face at she thought of her older sister's antics.

"Oh look here comes your little girlfriend." Santana was looking just beyond Rachel's shoulders. The younger girl was about to turn around when she heard the unmistakable voice of her best friend rushing down the hall.

"Rachel!" Kurt slammed into her and pulled her into a hug. "You look fabulous!"He let go and held Rachel at arms length, nodding in approval as his eyes traveled up and down her outfit.

"I had this terrible nightmare last night that we came to school on the first day and you were wearing a unicorn sweater with argyle socks." Kurt gripped his chest and looked utterly horrified as he remembered the dream, "Argyle Socks! Can you imagine." He spotted Santana staring at him with raised eyebrows, "Oh hey Santana." He said with a wave of his hand.

"Well hello yourself munchkin. Look Rachel I'd love to stay and chat with you girls but I gotta go." Santana hugged her sister and kissed her on the cheek. She pulled back and put both hands on the younger girls shoulders, "You come find me if you need anything okay."

Rachel nodded in response as she stared into her sisters eyes, "Okay."

"Good. And try and make some new friends." Santana shot Kurt a glance, causing Rachel to frown and with that the cheerleader turned her body around and strutted down the hallway.

Kurt didn't seem to notice. He squeeled and snatched the schedule out of Rachel's hands, "I'm so excited! Who do you have first period!" His eyes quickly scanned the page.

"Excellent! We have like every class together and lunch too. This is going to be amazing!" Kurt smiled and squeezed Rachel's hand. The small brunette squeezed back and returned the smile, but inside she couldn't shake off the nervous feeling that had her stomach grumbling since breakfast.

"Dude check out Taylor Williams. She got hotter over the summer." Puck was leaning against a row of lockers, scanning the girls who walked by. He felt a quick jab on his arm.

"No Dude. Heather Mitchell." Finn Hudson watched, mouth slightly agape as the red head walked by and grinned at the two boys.

"Eh I guess. If your into red heads."

"Sup Corcoran." A junior on the football team walked by, "Hudson." Both seniors nodded their head in his direction.

"Hi Puck." A blonde girl waved her fingers and bit her bottom lip. Puck just smirked and winked.

"Hey Finn." The same blonde twirled her hair and Finn felt his tongue stumble around for the right words, "H-Hey Jessica."

Puck felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned around, ready to charm the pants off whichever girl was trying to get his attention.

"Argghh!" He screamed in disgust and flapped his arms in front of his face, attempting to erase the girl who stood before him.

"Very funny No-elle." Santana pursed her lips and folded her arms across her chest. She felt the corners of her mouth turn up as her brother scowled upon hearing his nickname.

"Frankenteen" She acknowledged Finn's presence and the two girls standing next to her couldn't help but stifle a laugh.

"Quinn. Brittany." Puck greeted his sisters inseparable friends. "What's up?" Pucks eyes quickly fell on an underclassman who walked by transfixed on the three cheerleaders.

Keep walking.

"Just wanted to let you know that I dropped Rachel off by her homeroom. She's with Kurt."

Puck brought his attention back to his sister."That's it?"

"Yup. Keep an eye on her Puck." Santana held her gaze longer than expected and Puck raised his brow in question, silently having a conversation with his sister. The two shared a look which they both knew meant later.

"Dude. The bells about to ring. We got newbies to slushie." Finn slapped his hand over Pucks shoulder, the oldest Corcoran nodding in response.

"Yeah gotta go uphold the tradition," Puck turned around and stared at his sister before rushing off, "San go...to class...or something." He was supposed to say those things.

Santana blinked back, suddenly beginning to question her brother entirely.

"Bye Puck!" Brittany called after him and Santana shot her a look. "Really Britt?"

"What?"

The rest of the morning had gone by fairly smoothly. Rachel had every class with Kurt up until then and she found that high school wasn't so bad. The teacher's were nice. The work load wasn't too overwhelming and besides the students who came over from George Washington Middle School, everyone else from her grade was pretty much the same.

The bell rang signaling the beginning of lunch. Rachel was supposed to meet Kurt at the cafeteria. She grabbed her books and made her way down the crowded hall. A couple of older jocks brushed past her shoulders and one girl even bumped into her and had the audacity to tell Rachel to watch where she was going. Can you believe that! She bumped into me and I have to watch where I'm going?!

Rachel finally made it to the lockers and began spinning the lock right then left then right again, rattling the handle of the metal door until it finally clicked open.

"Tricky locker huh."

Rachel snapped her head in the direction of the speaker.

"I hate it when that happens. I used to have to bang my locker three times before it opened up for me last year in middle school. I'm Mercedes by the way."

Rachel looked down at the outstretched hand and smiled as she shook it "Rachel"

"You went to McKinley Middle right?" Mercedes asked as she put her books away inside the locker.

"Yeah. I'm guessing you went to George Washington?" Rachel grabbed the brown paper bag sitting on the shelf.

"Yup. Hey you have lunch this period? Me too!" Mercedes closed the locker door.

"Great! We can walk together. I sort of forgot it's location." Rachel closed her locker and Mercedes laughed.

"Me too, oh well we'll just have to see where everyone else goes." The two girls made their way down the hall and Rachel was happy she had made a new friend.

"So what teacher's do you have?" Mercedes asked and Rachel fished around for her schedule.

"Cool we have seventh period together." Mercedes was comparing schedules when she looked up and saw a group of guys standing by the entrance of the cafeteria.

"Girl there are some cuties at McKinley."

Rachel looked up and followed her friends gaze.

"See that guy over there. He's the captain of the football team and mmm is he fine!"

"Noah?" Rachel scrunched up her face and pretended to shove her finger down her throat. Mercedes didn't notice.

"I heard his family is loaded! His mom used to be on Broadway. He's from New York." Mercedes glanced over at Rachel and saw a puzzling look appear on her face. "Oh I know what your thinking. Why would anyone move from New York to Lima right!"

Rachel opened her mouth to answer but Mercedes was on a roll, "See the other guy, the freakishly tall one, their always together. He's not that bad looking I guess."

Just then Rachel felt an arm loop through hers.

"Hey Rach! What are we looking at?" Kurt followed the girls gaze and his eyes landed on his step brother and his gang of barbarian friends.

"Ew" Kurt turned towards Mercedes and stuck out his hand, "I'm Kurt by the way. Love your outfit." He nodded in aprroval and Mercedes beamed and shook his hand back, "Mercedes. Sweet Hat."

"Why Thank You! Lunch anyone?"

The three linked arms and took a step towards the cafeteria. They were smiling, happy to have found new friends and engrossed in each others company. They were completely unaware that they had just been picked up and were being watched by three upperclassmen.

"Go Home Freshman!"

The three were blindsided by a smack of cold, colored ice chips being thrown in their face. They stood frozen and Rachel felt the cold shiver down the front of her shirt. She heard the hallway erupt in laughter and beside her Mercedes screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Oh Hell to the No!"
