Chap 2 ~ The Point

Rachel Berry felt very proud of herself when she left the Puckerman's house and headed home. Over the past few weeks since the New Directions group had formed they had realised that they needed a male lead if they were going to have any hope of picking McKinley High Glee club up out of the dirt and if it was left up to Mr Shue no matter how brilliant he was they weren't going to find a male lead any time soon.

He simply didn't know how High School worked anymore but fortunately Rachel did and she knew that the only way to get someone other that the four other members of Glee to do something they didn't want to do because it would mean that the rest of the student body would shun them was to do something unspeakable.

And that was to blackmail them.

So when she had taken it upon herself to find Glee's new male lead she had thought to herself. Who did she know that was popular, could do anything and still be cool, knew how to sing brilliantly and last but not least who she would be able to find blackmailing material on?

So like she always did when she was faced with a problem she made a list and came up with only one name that she knew fit all those categories.

Noah Puckerman…

It helped a lot that they were both Jewish meaning that they both grew up together even though Noah now pretended that part of his childhood never happened. She probably knew more about that boy that anyone in the whole school.

She had known him since birth, been there when his father walked out on them, see how he changed from the loving and caring child he used to be into the person he was today because of how insecure he had become after his father had left. She even knew the number one rule that he lived by. Hurt others before they can hurt you.

She knew why he bullied, she knew why he was a jerk, and she defiantly didn't blame him for any of those things. In a way despite the fact that it ruined a lot of her clothes she was glad that it was her he threw slushies and not some other kid because she knew why he did it and also knew it was just his way of keeping up his whole badass charade… his way to protect his heart from being broken again.

She didn't exactly approve of blackmailing but desperate times come for desperate measures so she had been forced to pull out the big guns. The desk in her bedroom was currently covered in cassette tapes from old video cameras and VCRs on them videos of when she was little and other Jewish families would bring over their children to play.

The only reason she had the particular video she showed Noah of him with makeup and high heels on when he was probably six was because she had been the one to convince him to do it. His mother had brought him over to play and because he had chosen the game last time it was her turn and she wanted to play dress ups which resulted in them both looking ridicules while dancing and singing to the song Barbie girl in her lounge room.

It was a cute and hilarious video in her opinion but knew it would have great blackmailing qualities that being the reason she picked that video out of about twenty to threaten him with to start off with and if he didn't show up on Monday then it would somehow find its way to Jacob Israel's website by Tuesday morning.

And then she would be forced to have another conversation with Noah showing him yet another and even worse video where he is doing something very embarrassing and totally not badass.

Most would say what she was doing was just pure evil but she didn't think so. In her opinion she was just helping Noah share with the world his amazing talents and not just anyone is amazing in her books but yet she knew for a fact that Noah Puckerman was and that was something that could help them win Sectionals maybe even Nationals if they got that far… ok so it was a little bit evil if you really thought about it, but that was totally beside the point.

The point was that she Rachel Berry Gleek Queen of McKinley High had just done the unspeakable and blackmailed one Noah Puckerman Badass of McKinley High into joining Glee.

This day couldn't get any better.
