Anyways, here is the next chapter; I am so nervous about it. But don't let it censor what you think; every writer, even one on fanfiction, constructive criticism helps get what you want! I hope you enjoy!
Rachel Berry couldn't believe it; they had managed to sneak into Shuester's class, grab her backpack, and then they had walked out of school. "Chill Berry," Puck said as they drove away from the school, "you're acting like this is the very first time that you have ever ditched," when she didn't say anything he chuckled, "you've never ditched before?" he said, trying to hold back the snicker.
"Nope, cared too much about class," she replied. Puck glanced at her, deciding to cut her some slack.
"Well…" he started, "what's something you always wanted to do instead of going to school?" he questioned, trying to see how far this persona she was pushing was going to go.
She shrugged her shoulders, "What do you normally do?"
"Depends," he said, "Sometimes I go home and smoke…but that isn't what we are doing today," he bit his lip, and then thought for a moment. "Well sometimes I go to this old drive in…figured out how one of the cameras work. It only has one movie in it, but it's better than nothing," he said.
"That sounds good," she said, still wondering if Puck had an ulterior motive for wanting to be friends. She pushed down the pushy Rachel and just went with it. Let things happen naturally, don't make everything about me, she thought to herself. Puck couldn't help but worry about the young woman in the passenger seat. Granted, if there really was something wrong, she would have been complaining about it already….right?
As he drove them closer, Rachel began to get nervous. "Its ok Berry," he chuckled looking at her worried expression. "I've been here thousands of times,"
"Cut class a lot huh?" she questioned, getting out of the truck. He nodded his head, not wanting to reveal the full truth. "So…what movie is in there?" she inquired as she helped him set up the speakers.
"You'll see…" in all honesty he had forgotten the movie title; he just came here to get away from the drama of Lima.
He helped her into the bed of the truck, and grabbed a blanket from the back of the truck. "Uh…thanks Noah," she said to him. He shrugged his shoulders, and sat down starting up the projection. "West Side Story?" she questioned. "Its one of my favorite movies…" she admitted, and Puck didn't say anything. It was one thing to do girly things with a girl, but not even getting to make out was definitely not something Noah Puckerman ever did. As they watched the film, Rachel couldn't help but feel vulnerable again. It was definitely harder than she thought; putting up this cool collective front. She shivered lightly and pulled the blanket up to her. Puck moved himself closer, lightly touching her shoulder with his. Puck just couldn't seem to place it; he was a stud, and he could get any girl he wanted. Ever since he dated Rachel those couple days, there had been a change in him. He suddenly threw his arm around her, crushing her to his warmer body. "Uh…thanks," she said, as she felt comfort in his embrace. She was once again reminded how comfortable she was around him.
"I wasn't going to break up with you," he murmured suddenly as the credits started to roll. "You know…I never really liked Quinn…"
"Why…why are you telling me this?" she questioned.
"Because all she ever did was remind me that I am the biggest loser every five minutes when we got back together. You always had faith in me for some reason," he said. "Not that I need the faith," he said, trying to keep his bad-ass intact. "And I've noticed the new image Rachel…why can't this new image have me in it?" it wasn't Puck that was showing, it was Noah. "Plus…having a stud like me around solidifies this new image you are desperately trying to create," he added with a smirk.
"You…you never really liked Quinn?" she questioned, thinking about their debate when she had broken up with him on the stands. It was more obvious to her now more than ever that Puck was the only guy that ever treated her right.
"Just cared about the baby inside of her…I don't want to be my dad," he said. Rachel grabbed his hand; it would be nice to have one person who actual seems to care in on this secret. "So…" he pressed wondering if he should put his own defense back up. "Its cool Berry, you'll just be missing a huge opportunity passing up on a stud like-," suddenly she had shifted, and her lips were on his. He grinned into it, pulling her into his lap. They made out for a while, and he tried to move his hand over to the top of her shirt, and she pulled away with a smirk.
"I may be different in many ways, but I ain't putting out that easy," she said with a playful wink. She got up and saw him smirk back at her. She was slightly unsteady on her feet.
"We'll see," he played along as he turned the speakers off. "So…" he looked down at his wrist watch, seeing that he'd normally ditch for another hour or so. "Wanna make out more?" she rolled her eyes, and turned off the projector. Before she could respond to the question, she let out a gasp. She tackled Noah making sure she and him were hidden from view. "Wow…I like this enthusiasm…" he said with a chuckle, leaning up to kiss her. She lightly slapped him, and hushing him.
"One of my dads is here," she snapped at him. "This is probably the property he has been trying to sell," in the midst of her rant, he pulled her closer.
"Oh…so that guy is your dad…he only comes every once in a while. He'll be gone in a few minutes. Don't sweat it," he said.
"Don't sweat it?" she whispered sharply.
"You know you are really hot when you get mad," he said with a smirk, shutting her up. She opened and closed her mouth a couple times, and then just settled for a glare at him. He just grinned at her, and she rolled her eyes. Her dad's voice slowly drifted away, and when he was finally gone, her nervousness was replaced by a rush of adrenaline. "See it wasn't so bad now was it?" he said, smirk still set in place. She rolled her eyes, before trying to get off of him. "Where ya goin Berry?" he questioned with a light laugh.
She opened up her mouth to say that she had a test, but that would ruin this image she was desperately trying to hold onto. Instead she straddled him and placed her hand on his chest. "No where…" she said, smiling lightly. As sexy as she was being, Puck could tell that she was getting uncomfortable. As much of a stud as he was, he wasn't going to be an ass.
"So…you want to do something to make St. Douche feel like a dumbass right?" he questioned suddenly. She laughed at the nickname that was given to her ex. At first she had despised it when she heard most of the New Directions talking bad about him behind his back because he used to be in Vocal Adrenaline. While she was deep in thought about her ex, she began to wonder why he quit Vocal Adrenaline; he would have been guaranteed a scholarship out of Ohio completely.
"Yeah…yeah I do…" she said in a determined voice. Puck smirked; he was wheeling her in. Things may not have been great for the two of them for a bit, but things were looking up. Finn and Quinn used to be the power couple at McKinley High School, but wait until they see Puck and Rachel back again.
I'm so nervous…but I hope you enjoyed this chapter
