Consider this story officially disclaimed; I don't want to own Glee anyway. (I'd probably ruin it)
Mark Salling on the other hand.... mwahahahah!! *rubs hands evilly*
Also thank you guys for the awesome reviews. I know reading stories with poor grammar, spelling and all that jazz can be distracting and annoying, but you guys seem to be fine with it which rocks! And can I just say oh my freaking god, Puck looked uber hot when he sang Run Joey Run, seriously. I was so pissed that he only had a small part. Mark Salling has major talent, why can't he sing more? Grrrr.
Anyway enough of my rambiling, enjoy. :D
Chapter five
Puck wasn't nosey, and he most definitely was not an eavesdropper. No friggin way!
But as he was walking through the halls of McKinley high school on his way back to Glee, he heard what seemed to be bickering going on in one of the many girls locker rooms, two very recognisable voices stopping him dead in his tracks. So no, he wasn't an eavesdropper; this was simply to help with his 'investigation'.
"I can't believe I allowed you to talk me into such torture. When this hits the fan, I'll be a laughing stock. Seriously, people are going to presume I'm doing this for all the wrong reasons, I'll be branded desperate. Oh dear god!" Rachel's panicked voice could be heard.
Curious, Puck skillfully crept into the girls locker rooms and hid in a cubicle. Why didn't he think of doing this before?
"Please! I hardly talked you into it; you did that yourself." Santana's voice replied. This is about to get interesting. Puck thought with a smirk.
"Your the one who got me into this awful predicament, so don't you dare blame this on me! Oh god, imagine what people are going to say about me now? I finally manage to avoid attracting attention to myself, and now I'm going to be back on everybody's radar. Not to mention I'll be sticking out like a sore thumb. Why me?" Rachel snapped.
Puck heard foot steps and figured Berry must be pacing, probably pulling her hair out too. He mentally sniggered at the image.
"God Rach, I've already told you I'm sorry! But seriously whats done is done, you've made the team so what does it matter? And no one is going to say shit to you now, they're not allowed. And if they do, they'll have me to do with. Just relax, deep breaths." Santana sighed.
Santana can actually be nice? Who would have thought. And what does Rachel mean by Santana got her into this mess?
"I know! I'm sorry for going on one again. I'm just nervous you know?"
"Rachel Berry, nervous? What has the world come to!" Santana said in a teasing tone, and fuck, Puck was getting freaked out.
This shits worst then the Twilight Zone!
"Ha, funny San," Berry said in a obvious joking tone "I'm not putting that, that thing on now though, that can wait until Monday. God knows what it's been on. Anyway come on, we've got Glee rehearsal now." Rachel said, and Puck was seriously confused, what thing?
"I don't know Rach... I think you should put it on," Santana said unsure. "It's the way 'Sue C's it'." Santana spoke in a mocking tone.
"No way. Now lets go, Brittany is probably waiting for you." Rachel hissed, and Puck detected the venom in her voice when she spoke of Brittany, that shit seriously confused him, because Berry loves everyone no matter what, but right then, she sounded like she hated Brittany.
"As if, I doubt she's even noticed I've gone, probably to busy fawning over Mike." Santana's voice could be heard from a distance, so Puck figured they must have left the locker room. He waited for about 5 minutes, and then left himself, heading back to Glee.
"Ahh Puck, nice of you to finally join us again. Fall down the toilet?" Schue asked teasingly, glad that he wasn't pissed, Puck smirked and answered
"No no, my guns are to big. I ran into one of the ladies..."Puck trailed off, wiggling his eye brows suggestively. Ignoring the choruses of 'Ews' and 'Yuks', he made his way to the back of the class and plonked now next to Matt, noticing Mike was sat with Brittany and Santana. Weird.
During class, Puck kept mauling it over his head what Rachel and Santana were talking about in the locker room, and what did Santana mean when she said about Brittany fawning over Mike? Looking down, Puck noticed Brittany sat in between her ex, and her girlfriend with a huge smile on her face, oblivious to Mike's uneasiness and Santana's pissed off expression.
Once again, no one else seemed to be aware of this, except Puck.
And Rachel apparently, judging by the glare she was sending Brittany, and the sympathetic looks she shot Santana every 5 minutes.
Puck knew he was close to cracking this case, and he would be a legend for doing so. It was around half hour into practise, and the atmosphere was full with tension. Santana was glaring holes into Mike's head, Mike was shifting awkwardly in his seat, Mercedes was going on one about how Rachel always got leads, so Rachel and Tina were pissed and biting their toungs. Kurt was bitching about it also, so Artie was giving him the stink eye. Finn and Quinn were hid away in the other corner of the class room, trying to avoid all the commotion going on, and Matt, well he was asleep.
Ahh just your average day in Glee! Puck thought with a smirk.
"Stop being such a drama queen Kurt, it's getting old now." Artie said stiffly, still glaring at Kurt
"Artie I don't even know why your defending her, how could you even be friends with her?!" Kurt hissed out, not even bothering to be quiet
"Because if you actually take the time to get to know her, she's a pretty cool person! Unlike some!" Artie stressed, reminding Puck of Yoda.
"I find that hard to believe. And I hope your not referring to me!" By now Kurt was red in the face, is his eye twitching?
"Kurt, Artie, whats the meaning of this? Stop it now, or you'll have to leave." Schue shouted, you could practically see a vain throbbing in his head.
Both boys quietened, but remained shooting glares at each other.
"Look guys, I don't know what is going on between you all; but it has to stop. Regionals is approaching and we have to focus." Schue stressed out. And Puck kind of felt bad for the dude, people seemed to forget that he'd had a hard year as well with his batshit crazy wife.
Fuck, I'm gona grow a vagina! Puck thought gripping his manhood to check if it was still intact. It was.
"Have I come at the wrong time?" Sue Sylvesters voice could be heard as she entered the choir room, giving Puck the flirty eye.
What the fuck?! Puck thought to himself, avoiding her gaze and suddenly feeling the need to scrub himself clean.
"Yes Sue, actually you have." Schuester bit out
"Perfect," Sue grinned at Schue and held a hand up to stop him as he was about to comment "Don't get your panties in a twist Schuester, I'm only here to see Berry. I couldn't fit your daily torture in my schedule today, let's reschedule for tomorrow shall we? Excellent." She said with a smirk.
"What are you doing here Sue?" Schue asked as politely as he could, though it sounded far from it.
"Wow rather nosey today aren't you Schue? I heard about your fight with Erna by the way, brightened my day." Sue grinned, sending a wink to Puck who gagged as she did so. Matt, who was now awake, saw the wink and bit back a roar of laughter. Douche!
"Emma, her names Emma."
"What ever, like I give a rats ass about Miss OCD. She walks around like a ray of happiness, and it makes me sick. This one time I actually vomited in mouth, and then spat it into Tanka's Coffee, he drank it up like a fat kid eats cake."
"The point of your visit? We really have to get busy with regionals coming up...." Schue trailed off, mentioning regionals to piss off Sylvester.
"Hey Schue, did you know I took on a new Cheerio today? No thought not. She's a little freaky, but she got real talent. She'll be great on board when we head off to Nationals this year," Sue said as she leaned against the piano, Puck noticed the frown etched on Berry's face as she said so.
"They should just hand over the trophy and save them elves time and other competitors the humiliation, There's hardly going to be a competition. My girls are the best; after all I did train them. And that's to be expected from me, you know, being the best." She added cockily.
"I just can't wait to get my hands on another big, shiny trophy to place in the large Cheerios achievement cabinet; you know with all the other trophy's and awards we have won? It's just down the hall next to the tiny Glee Club achievement cabinet,If you could call it that." She grinned.
"Sue could you-" Schue started, and everyone could see that he was biting his toung, careful not to not to antagonize a rattlesnake.
"Quit your whining, I'm here to see Berry." Sue snapped. Obviously pissed at Schue's lack of reaction.
"Rachel? Why an earth do you want to see Rachel?" Schue asked confused, ignoring her latter remarks and voicing what majority of the people in Glee were thinking. Minus Rachel and Santana, Puck noted as he saw Santana mouth 'Told you so' to Rachel, who had a sour look on her face.
"She's my new Cheerio of course. I was just here to drop this off," Sue said smugly as she handed Rachel the brand new Cheerio uniform, thriving off the gasps of shock that was chorusing through out the class room, especially Shuesters.
Puck wasn't that surprised though, Satan and Berry had told him previously. That must have been what they were talking about earlier..
"Here you go Berry, I heard you whining about not wearing the uniform as, and I quote: 'God only knows what it's been on.' So I decided to drop this brand new one off personally. I suggest you go put it on now, it's part of the contract that you signed earlier." Sue said.
You gotta sign a contract to be a Cheerio? Puck thought biting back a laugh as Rachel marched out the door, looking pissed.
"What are you trying to do Sue? Are you blackmailing her? Because I know Rachel would never join the Cheerios!" Schue fumed, pinching his nose.
"Berry came to me. Your accusations are irrational and deeply offensive, I will not allow some ladyman to talk to me in such tone. I suggest you apologize or I will report to Figgins. And what can I say; the girl obviously has common sense." Sue spat out, glaring at Schue.
"What ever Sue, I'm not playing these games with you- Wait, Santana where do you think you are going?" Schue asked as he noticed Santana about to leave the room. Fuck how had I not seen that? Oh yeah, to busy watching the smack down between Schue and Sue he smirked.
"To make sure Rachel is putting the uniform on and not doing a runner." She answered in a duh tone already leaving the room, again.
"Well my work here is done. You have fun working with your scab-eating, mouth breathers. You know what William, you really should respect me allowing three of my Cheerios to be in your stupid little pansy ass I-love-you-you-love-me club." Sue barked as she made way to exit.
"Oh and Schue?" she paused waiting by the door "I'm still waiting on the apology." She smirked as she exited.
"I'm sorry you guys, rehearsal had been a disaster today." Schue said as he ran his hands through his hair.
Every ones eyes bulged out as Rachel and Santana walked through the door, both wearing Cheerio uniforms, and talking and smiling at each other as if it was their everyday routine. Immediately the whispers and gawking started as Rachel and Santana took a seat next each other at the back.
Next to Puck and Matt.
"Damn Berry; you clean up nice." Puck leered as he openly gave her a once over, only receiving a glare in response before she turned her attention back to Schue who was ranting on about something or other.
Bitch don't know what she's missing. Just because Berry looks hot, not that she never did, doesn't mean I'll let her get up on this.
Puck scoffed at his own thoughts, who was he to kid? He'd fuck Berry happily.
Puck, Mike and Matt had came to realisation that Berry wasn't as crazy as everybody presumed, in fact Mike said Rachel got nothing on Mercedes craziness and that she would give Berry a run for her money in the diva department. So yeah, and slowly, Rachel's sort of changing, he doubt she even notices it herself. But it's the smallest things, for example:
Although she still used those huge ass words, she shortened down her rants.... A lot.
The craziness had toned down majorly, though it was still there.
She actually seemed relaxed lately, and not so over bearing.
And fuck why is he even thinking of shit like this? Basically himself, Matt and Mike agreed Berry was 100% bangable. Sue me.
"Although we had many distractions at practise today, you guys did great! Schools about to end so you guys enjoy your weekend, and I'll see you at Mondays rehearsals! I'm excited to see what you guys have came up with for your duets!" Schue grinned dismissing everyone.
Oh yeah the duets.
Flashback to two weeks ago.
"Ok guys, I've wrote the girls names down in a hat. Come pick one please, and that will be your pair to work with on your duet." Schue announced. All the Glee members nodded as the male's made their way to the piano to see what fat threw their way.
"Quinn." Artie said bashfully, awaiting for the former head cheerleader to complain.
"Cool, come over here and we'll find a song to do." Quinn said, smiling softly.
"Santana." Kurt said, and Puck along with Matt bit back a laugh as the colour drained from his face. Poor friggin dude.
"Brittany? I didn't even know you could sing?" Finn said confused, a look on his face similar to that of a lost puppies.
"I sing in the shower." Brittany answered like it answered everything as she patted the empty seat on her left for Finn to take a seat.
"Rachel. Looks like your stuck with me!" Matt grinned goofily at Rachel as he plopped down on the seat next to her. Puck was kind of relieved that he didn't have to work with Berry and all her crazy, but he also realised he had missed on the perfect opportunity to investigate more.
"Great." Mercedes huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest and glared daggers at Matt and Rachel who were talking animatedly.
"Tina? Your lucky ass gets to work with my fine ass." Puck smirked, also thankful that he didn't have to work with Mercedes. Because despite the way she complained about Rachel, everyone could see she was just as bad, if not worse than Rachel in the diva department.
"And that means I'm left with you Mercedes, you can sing what ever song you want as long as I can pop and lock it!" Mike commanded.
"This is great guys. It gives you a chance to really step outside your box!
End of flashback.
Puck was pretty damn confident that he and Tina were going to blow peoples minds with their performances.
Walking out into the now very crowded school parking lot, Puck noticed Rachel and Matt climbing into a huge black Range Rover. For a sudden he thought that he'd have to go into Sherlock Holmes mode again, but then sighed in relief when he figured that Berry was probably just busting Matt's as about making sure their duet was perfect. But seriously, why would Matt willingly spend his Friday only with Berry?
He found his answer when he saw Santana run over to the car and slide into the passenger seat.
I would just like to quickly add that the whole Santana/Rachel thing will be revealed in the next two chapters, so stay tuned! And I'm sorry for dragging it out this long. But I don't like to rush into things, I mean whats the fun in that? Also I know that many of you readers out there don't like reading about Rachel being a Cheerio and changing dramatically. In my story Rachel will remain a Cheerio, and yes she does slightly change, but not for other people, for herself. But she will still be slightly crazy; the Rachel we all love! (Or some love to hate) And she won't be changing that dramatically. Anyway, peace out!
