Chapter 2 : New

Puck was standing at his locker with mike and matt, he wasn't really paying attention to their conversation though – since Quinn had chosen Finn to be the baby's father puck had been, distant to say the least.

"Dude, are you listening."

He was pulled out of his thought by mike who was staring at him with annoyed yet concerned eyes.

"Yeah, yeah sorry what were you saying?"

Mike gave him one last glance before continuing to speak.

"Well i was saying that......Whoa!"

Both Puck and Matt turned to were Mike was gawping and the three girls walking down the hall. Brittany was wearing her white shorts, purple tube top and purple heals, she had curly hair with her fringe clipped back. Santana was wearing Short blue denim shorts with a white vest, a red sleeveless cardigan and red heels. She had her hair the same as Brittany's. Rachel wore a baby blue top and black shorts with blue heels, her hair was down and curly with her fringe clipped to the side.

Puck could feel his mouth hanging open and then nudged the other two boys who had their mouths hanging open as well. They all realised what they were doing and shut their mouths, as the girls walked past Brittany smiled at mike, Santana blew a kiss to matt and Rachel winked at puck leaving him stunned. The girls turned the corner out of sight from the guys and that seemed to break them from their trance.

"When did Rachel get hot?"

The three boys looked at each other with the same expression shocked and confused.

"I dunno bu..."

Matt was interupted by puck

"Who cares guys, just because she looks hotter doesn't mean that she still isn't that same annoying, bossy, controlling freak that she has always been and always will be."

The boys just nodded and even though puck had objected to drewling over her he secretly admitted that he wanted Rachel Berry.

"Oh my god, Rach did you see the way puck was staring at you, he so likes you."

Rachel shook her head.

"No, puck would never like me; I'm just a freak that dresses better."

Rachel and Brittany both looked at each other smirking and then looked at the girl that was beginning to pout.

"What if we could show him that you have changed, you said you did gymnastics for a few years right, and you're a good dancer.."

Rachel looked at the two girls, confused.

"Yeah, so..."

"So you are going to become a cheerio. You can replace Becky; she quit the squad after coach Sylvester tried to get her to do a back flip."

"...and before you say no, think of how impressed puck would be with your flexibility."

Rachel thought about it and couldn't say that it was a bad idea, besides she knew there was no arguing with Santana, she sighed and nodded. Brittany squealed with joy, said goodbye to Santana and linked arms with Rachel as they went to class.

Rachel continued with her new look all week due to the fact that when Brittany has 'changed' her bedroom she had also binned all of the plaid in her wardrobe – leaving her with...nothing. It was Thursday and her first cheer at a football game as a Cheerio was tomorrow, there was a party afterwards and she had been invited by four jocks but had said no to all of them, hoping that puck would ask her but he hadn't. She was on her way to glee when she was stopped in the hall by kerofski, he had a slushy in his hand and although she hadn't been slushied yet this week it didn't mean it was ruled out, but instead he just smiled at her.

"So, Berry are you coming to the after game party tomorrow, we should go together."

Rachel smiled kindly

"Sorry Dave, but i am going to have to decline this time, maybe another time though."

Before he could argue back she walked past him and entered Glee just before Mr Shue did.

"M-C-Kinley, Go McKinley Go!! WOOO"

The cheerleaders stood at the side line getting the crowd warmed up. They were in the last quarter of the game and McKinley were behind one point. Rachel had done research about football so she could keep up, and she was surprisingly enjoying herself. There was thirty seconds left of the game and Finn was about to throw the ball to puck, Rachel was getting so into the game that she didn't realise when Puck caught the ball she was shouting his name and cheering him on harder than anybody else. When puck scored the winning touchdown, all the cheerleaders ran onto the field and for some reason completely unknown to both Puck and Rachel, she ran and jumped into his arms shouting congratulations.

"Berry? What are you on?"

Rachel released him and stepped back blushing, Puck smirked.

"I dunno, I just got a bit caught up in the game."

Puck nodded, still smirking.

"You comin' to the party? I could give you a ride, if you need one?"

Rachel smiled, she had only ever seen this side of puck on rare occasions, but she liked it.

"Sure, that's really...cool of you Puck."

She Winked at him and walked over to hug Santana and Brittany, Puck stood there watching and couldn't help look at her butt in that tiny skirt, well barley skirt.

Oh yeah, he definatly wanted Rachel Berry.

This was the second chapter, next chapter is the after party were Rachel gets a little carried away, Quinn has something to say about Rachel's new popularity.

Will try to get the next chapter up really soon.
