Omg, i am so suckish, Im sorry it has took me almost a month to update, probably more. I apoligise to everyone. Ive just had major writers block

I don't own glee.

So as the lunch bell rang through the halls of McKinley Rachel got ready to go meet Noah for their lunch. She was quite nervous, her and Noah never really used to get along- apart from all the times they had made out- but anyway. She walked into the lunch room to find Noah sat at a table on his own in the far corner of the room.

"Hey Berry!" Noah shouted across the room as he saw her.

"Keep your voice down Noah, and Hi," she answered. Rachel sat down next to him and got her lunch box out of her bag.

"What is that shit?" Noah asked her.

"This, it's just a salad, please don't tell me you've never had salad before?" Rachel questioned.

"Ohh yes I forgot you were a vegan, and no I don't think I have ever had salad, my meals mainly consist of burgers and waffles." Noah confessed.

"Try some," Rachel insisted, holding her fork out for him.

"Erm, ok," Noah said nervously taking the fork from her. He slowly put the fork in his mouth and chewed. "Ohh my god, what is this, its sick!" He shouted.
"Don't you like it?" Rachel asked.

"What no, excuse me I need to go rinse my mouth to get the taste out of my mouth," and with that Puck ran out of the room to the nearest bathroom, leaving Rachel munching on her salad on her own. She took this alone time whilst she waited for Noah's return to get on with some homework marking, with all the drama from the previous night she didn't get any work done, and she still had Becca's class' homework to mark. They had had to write a small paragraph evaluating their last performance, she pulled out Zack's first she was really interested in what he thought about it. It read,

Dear Miss Berry,

My last performance with Becca was a massive success I thought, our voices sounded great together, and you really worked out the harmonies well. So what if people are now calling me her boyfriend and making fun of me, I don't care it's worth it. In future could you please pair me and Becca together more, she was really nice to work with, and I think I could reach my full potential in your lessons with her as my partner?

From Zack.

As Rachel read this she felt some guilt, she wanted them to go together mainly because of selfish reasons. But he said he would like to go with her again, she just felt sad she had caused him to get bullied. He was exactly like Finn, but he cared less about what people thought, but it must still get to him.

"Hey, have you seen Puck?" A familiar voice said, asking a fellow member of the faculty.

"He ran out of here a few moments ago shouting, he was sat over there with that girl with the brown hair." A woman said. Rachel really needed to meet some of the teachers here.

"Ohh ok, thank you," Finn said, and he walked over to the table Rachel was at.

"Don't look at him, don't look at him," Rachel told herself, pretending to be marking some papers.

BREAK!

"Hey Rachel mind if I sit?" Finn asked her nervously.

"Erm, sure..." She replied, unsure of what to say.

Finn sat down opposite her and tried to say something, anything to talk to her. He just couldn't conjure up the courage to say anything. She was still obviously in shock about the other night and didn't want to talk about it. He just got out his lunch from his bag as they sat there in silence. Occasionally Finn would look up through his eyelids to see what she was doing, but not once had she looked up from her work. She pushed a strand of hair out of her eyes behind her ear.

"Ohh god, why did she have to do that? That's like what she used to do. FUCK!" Finn thought to himself. "Where was Puck, he better hurry up."

And right on queue Puck walked into the room and sat down at their table.

"Well if it isn't my two lunch dates," Puck said slightly smug.

"Where have you been man?" Finn asked, trying to sound uncased by Rachel's presence.

"Ohh, Berry tried to feed me some rat poison so I was getting the taste out of my mouth!" Puck exclaimed.

"That's a lie Noah," Rachel said. That was unlike Rachel, a short sentence, and he understood all the words in it. Normally she would have snapped back at Puck and used some complex vocabulary and Finn would have been confused instantly.

"Hey guys, the whole reason I brought you two here is so we could talk, find out what each other are up to." Puck explained, "And I knew I wouldn't get both of you here any other way." Both Finn and Rachel looked up at each other and just stared. Their eyes met and it seemed like neither could look away, nor did they want to. Eventually Rachel blushed and turned her head to face Puck.

"Someone TALK!" Puck almost shouted at them.

"Hi Finn," Rachel said to him, obviously having more courage than he had.

"Hi Rachel, " He said smiling, he couldn't help laughing at himself at how nervous he was, it was only Rachel.

"What are you laughing at?" She asked, sounding slightly hurt.

"Ohh, I was just laughing at us both, were sat here not seen each other for years and all we can think of is hi," he explained.

"Well we have been through a lot; I mean it will take time for us to get back to the state we were at before where we were both physically and emotionally comfortable with each other's presence." She said.

"There we go," Finn said. "Shit was that out loud" he thought.

"What?" Rachel asked him confused.

"Erm, I was just thinking that you weren't using long words or talking fast like you used to. But you did there," Finn explained, almost lost for words. He thought he was getting better at explaining what he was thinking, it's only when she was around.

"Ohh well I think I got over that, I haven't done it in ages, it's only in the past few minutes." Rachel confessed.

BREAK!

What was it about Finn Hudson that brought her back to her 16 year old self? Talking to fast, of course she was he made her heart beat twice as fast as was recommended healthy.

"How have you been Finn?" She asked.

"Ohh fine I guess, today is only my second day at my fifth job in three months." Finn told her.

"Things haven't been going so well for me either; let's just say my New York plans didn't work out as well as I had hoped." Rachel said.

"I guess we are both pretty screw uppy," Finn joked.
"I don't think that's a word Finn," Rachel laughed. God she hadn't been this happy for months, he just seemed to have the ability to cheer her up.

They continued talking for the rest of lunch period, and neither of them noticed Puck had left them alone a few minutes into their discussion. At the end of lunch they both stood up, and looked at each other wondering what to do, shake hands? No that was stupid. But hugging seemed weird.

"Bye Finn, will you meet me for lunch tomorrow, this was fun. " Rachel asked.

"Sure I can't wait" Finn told her. And with that she almost skipped out the door, she was so happy; the love of her life was now back in her life. And she would become friends with him again; she would make sure of that. Hopefully more.

There you go, I hope you enjoyed it, I know it's not much seen as you've waited so long for the update, but I have a few ideas on how to continue.
