"You really don't know how to take a hint do you?" I angrily stated and crossed my arms.

"Not when it comes to a girl like you." He calmly stated.

"Well I don't feel the same way about you, get it through your head. You had to corner me here, to get me to talk to you!" It was true, as I walked out of school after my performance and walked to Puck's truck, where he cornered me between Puck's car and the other one that was next to it. I couldn't get away. This was getting freakin' annoying.

"And it's worth it." He stated

"Maybe for you." I rolled my eyes.

"Look, you have tried a billion times, just get through your head, forgiveness from me isn't in your future! And I don't understand why you just magically started caring. I know a rat when I see one, and normally rats are dirty, mean, fast moving little bastards. Like yourself."

"Okay ouch, and I started caring, because after you left, I went to Krista."

"Oh this will be good." I let out a laugh and shifter my weight to onto my left leg and put my hands on my hips.

"Just listen! While hooking up with her, I realized I didn't get that same, I guess, "spark" as when I was with you."

"Yeah okay." I rolled my eyes.

"Okay fine don't believe me, but we have to meet on some common ground, because we have to work on that Romeo and Juliet assignment together!"

"No, because I am going to change partners."

"We can't I already asked, for you, because of what that jackass said in class the other day, but we can't switch. Mrs. Serelly said that if we switch she has to let everyone switch and most, like you aren't happy with there partners."

"Fine whatever, just because we have to work on this project doesn't mean I have got to like you. We are co-workers, alright, that's what we are. We work together to get the job done, but after that I'm done talking to you. So don't expect some corny fairytale ending, of you winning me back and me falling into your arms."

"Good, it's a start." He smiled.

"Yeah a start that will crash and burn if you don't wipe that smile off your face.' He immediately did and was going to continue to talk when I interrupted.

"And another thing. This project is worked on either at school or at MY house only. We have until next Friday, but I want to get started, so you come to my house, today at 7. Got it?"

"Today, we have to work on it today? But all the parties happen tonight, it's the start of the weekend, and you want to stay in on a Friday ni-" I shot him a glare which made him shut up.

"Today, 7 o'clock. Got it." He gulped and I turned to see Finn Puck, Matt and Mike, walking over here.

"Okay now I really need an A on this, and I can't get that if you die so.." I said pointing towards the guys. Jason got the hint and booked it out of there, I just leaned against the truck.

"Why are you talking to that punk?" Puck said, and it took me by surprise.

"We have to work on a project together, we were just discussing it. Come your balls Noah." I joked but he ignored the name I called him and continued.

"Then why did he have you cornered? Why was he so close to you? When_" I cut him off.

"Whoa calm down with the interrogation. Those questions are my business not your, and you have no right to go all "over protective big bother on me"."

"I wasn't they are just questions that you better answer." He crossed his arms and stepped closer to me.

"What are you going to do if I don't, huh? We are back to the first day we met, you can't do anything." A smile crept across my lips.

"Whatever Katie, just get in the car." Pissed off he climbed into the front seat, with Finn in the passenger seat, and Mike and Matt in the back with me. I just sighed and looked out the window, waiting for my house to appear. What was that all about, why does he care?


Walking into Pucks room to ask if I could borrow his laptop so I could get a head start on the project so it would be done faster, I stopped and looked at the sight before me.

Mike and Finn were adjusting there hair, and growing frustrated, as it just wouldn't work out for them, Matt was deciding what shirt to where, and Puck was spraying on cologne and adjusting his appearance in the mirror.

"You guys look like a bunch of girls." I laughed and stood up form my position of leaning against the doorframe. 'Either girls, or the guys from Jersey shore." I laughed as they all sent me glares. I just rolled my eyes, "Matt the purple shirt, the blue just isn't you. Mike, sweep your hair to the side, it looks good like that, and Finn." I walked towards him and grabbed the gel form him and pt a little on my hand and gestured for him to bend down so I could reach his head. Rubbing my hands through his hair I said," With your hair, go with that messy style, it looks cute and girls love it, although the only girl you should be trying to impress is Rachel." satisfied with his hair I turned to Puck, "and you your outfit need something else, something edgy " I walked to his closet, and pulled out a black leather jacket and threw it at him. "The white V-neck looks good, but that," pointing to the jacket I continued, "will give it something extra."

"I feel like Kurt." He mumbled under his breath and though he wouldn't admit it, I knew he knew I was right. "Why are you in here anyway? Get out."

"I need to borrow your lap top, for the project."

"Just use yours."

"I can't mine is dead and the charger is broken."

"Sucks for you." He pushed past me and the guys left, on their way to I guess a party. But I then heard arguing in the Kitchen. Lisa was yelling at Puck. I laughed, when Puck yelled up the stairs.

"Katie you can use my laptop, but if you break it, I will kill you!"

"NOAH!" I heard Lisa yell but he was already out the door. I guess she heard the whole thing? Maybe moms really do have eyes in the back of there heads, and ears that can pick up any sound. I shrugged and picked up his lap top and walked into my room.


My door received a knock.

'Come in!" I shouted not taking my eyes off of the computer screen.

"Hey" I heard a voice say which knew was Jason's and he sat beside me.

I was laying on my stomach on the bed, with the computer in front of me. "Hi" I flatly greeted him, still haven't taken my eyes off of the computer.

"So what scene are we doing?" In the corner of my eye I could see he was uncomfortable.

"I don't know." I replied

"How about one the known ones, like the one where they die, or the balcony?' he suggested innocently.

"I am not doing the balcony scene with you. But the death scene might not be bad, watching you die." I smirked.

"Um, that's not scary or anything." He scooted away. The look on his face and his reaction was priceless. I let out a small chuckle turning away form him, making sure he didn't see it, but he did.

"Ha! I made you laugh."

"No, you made me chuckle two completely different things!"

"What ever, the point is both involve you smiling, which I made you do!"

"That doesn't mean anything. Co-Workers can make each other chuckle!" I argued.

"Then why did my co-worker try and hide it, hmm?"

"So this," I said gesturing to what was going on, "wouldn't happen."

"Yeah sure." He said completely un-convinced.

"Just shut up and lets get started, the faster this gets done the faster I can get away from you."

"Again. Ouch!" He over dramatically held his heart. I let out another chuckle when he was about to say something.

"Shut up, or I'll hurt you." I stated before he was able to get what he was going to say in.


Checking his pockets and book bag to make sure he had everything, he gave me a smile and headed out the door. Closing the door quickly to not catch a glimpse of the truck, I headed back upstairs. Plopping down on my bed, I let out a long breath and stared at my ceiling.

Okay working on the project was fine, and Jason wasn't that bad, its just I can't trust him, it isn't possible. I have had so many let downs in my life. Okay that's being a bit dramatic, really the biggest let down in my life was my mom but I was BIG, what happened, I just, it was hard. Then when my dad flipped the off switch to emotions in the house afterwards, made it worse. I shook my head trying to remove the memories and turned back to the computer. Bored I decided to go onto FaceBook. But instead of clicking the web, I accidently clicked open his pictures.

"Oops" I said and went to exit out when I just made it start to do a slide show. I hate his computer, he's a PC guy, I am more of a Mac person.

"No. Crap." I muttered to myself when I stopped and pressed pause, at one particular picture. Whoa.

"Katie I need my comp-" he entered my room, looked at the screen, and his face went red with anger.

"Why are you looking through my stuff!" he didn't put it as a question.

"I didn't mean it, I accidently clicked a button and your pictures came up."

REALLY? THAT WHY IS IT ON PAUSE HUH?" For the first time ever I was scared of him. I hated yelling. I know he wouldn't hit me, but just his voice. It went right through me.

"Puck I am sorry. But really it was a mistake."

"YEAH YOU SEEM TO MAKE A LOT OF THOSE!" He shot.

"I don't understand what the big deal is. EVERYBODY knows. Why is me finding out such a big deal."

"IT JUST IS!"

"What is going on?" Lisa came into the room, with my dad beside her.

"SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO STAY OUT OFF PEOPLES BUISNESS!"

I got louder, he was being completely irrational! "YOU'RE BEING COMPLETELY IRRATIONAL!"

"WELL YOU'RE BEING A BITCH!"

"WELL YOU'RE BEING A JACKASS WHO DOESN'T CARE WHAT OTHERS FEEL!"

"HA! NOW I KNOW WHY JASON DECIDED TO SCREW YOU OVER." He regretted it, I could see it, he hid it pretty well, but he did. But those words, they didn't hurt, not even give a little sting, because I knew they were out of anger. I just sighed mentally than out loud.

"NOAH!" I heard Lisa yell as he walked downstairs and out the door.

She turned to me, "He didn't mean it, he says things when he's mad, he didn't mean it."

"I know." I simply stated I heard his engine start and the car roar out of the drive way.

This is great.

*** So we needed more Jason, and some over protective Puck, At least I thought so.. hmmm, what did Katie see? You probably already know, but oh well..lol

Oh and P.s keep reviewing! They make me smile and tell me ANY ideas you might have. I am open to all suggestions. (=
