Graduation:
No one expected graduation to come up so quickly. Not even Lauren and she was working to be the first to graduate high school in her whole family and planning this day since middle school. She looked in the mirror for the last time as a simple high school student. She wasn't even sure if she's graduating with friends. Yeah, they Glee kids will probably let her go hang out with them doing whatever they do. But, she wouldn't feel comfortable seeing she 1 broke up with the only reason they talked to her and 2 she wasn't even in Glee club her final year of school which she regretted almost as much as she regretted breaking up with Puck. He treated her like a princess… a badass one at that. And made her feel so happy. She felt so… at home with him. After they where together all those months he knew almost everything about her. She sighed putting on her lip gloss as her dad came in. "Sweety, it's time to go to the school. You ready?" He stocky father whom had very little hair. "Yeah, dad. I'm ready." She sighed standing up in her cap and gown. Under the gown she wore a dress her mother made her wear. It was a dark purple dress that was sliming in some ways and fit her perfectly.
She walked out into her front yard and got into her dad's car. He insisted on driving her and her mom even if Lauren had her own car. She sat in the back seat looking out the window as the trees went by. She wanted to cry but didn't, she was stronger than that. She wasn't going to let anyone see her weak. The car stopped and Lauren got out and fixed her slightly curled hair and looked up catching eyes with Noah Puckerman who looked shocked. He walked over, his legs seemed to not care what he wanted to do it just happened. "Wow, Lauren… you look… Hot" He said looking her up and down. Lauren scoffed casually and said "You haven't changed have you?" He shrugged and said "So, you love me." That made her heart drop. She did love him. Passionately. More than anything. She rolled her eyes and walked off and Puck said it once before and he'll say it again. "Damn" He felt someone slap him. Lauren's dad and mom followed her after hitting the so called bad ass. Lauren sat nervously with all the graduates. She would be getting her's last seeing her last name started with a Z. What a crappy down fall of being a Zizes. Maybe, if she had Puckerman as a last name? Lauren Puckerman? Yeah… She liked the sound of that. She watched as people went up and got diplomas after Mike Chang gave his valid Victorian speech. Name after name was called and finally hers was called off. She got up calmly and took it from Principle Figgins. Everyone clapped politely and a loud whoo came from some people. Puck and her dad? Her dad she expected but Puck not in a million years. She walked off the stage and went over the him and the Glee kids who where graduating. "What is wrong with you Puckerman?" She asked embarrassed. "Supporting you. Duh" "Whatever" Lauren said sighing. "Can I please talk to you Lauren?" Puck said giving his puppy dog like look to her. "Ugh, fine!" "Alone?" He said pulling her off to a tree and sighed and said "Take me back" "What?" "Take me back, Lauren. I miss you so much and… I want to be with you again" He said lightly kissing her lips. "I… missed you too." She admitted looking at her feet. He smiled and said "So? Join me and the guys for a graduation lunch?" He took her hand in his and she smiled. "Why not. Let me go tell my parents"
She walked off and after a few pictures some including Puck her parents happy they where together again. Surprisingly. Puck took her arm and led her to his truck opening the door for her "My lady" He said jokingly as she got into the vehicle. Puck drove them to Breadsticks and met up with everyone. "Lauren!" Rachel said with a smile. "What is?" "We got back together" Puck shrugged with his smile of being proud of what her accomplished. "Really?" Finn who wasn't to far away "About time" Artie said. "Whatever" He said sliding into a booth with Lauren beside him. He put his hand on her bare knee causing her to feel a bit of surprise and butterflies mix in her stomach. He sat back all bad boy style and said "So, I told you guys I would graduate." "That's actually surprising" Lauren said smiling a him.
