btw, i don't own anything! mwhahahahahaha i wish i did!

During lunch, I sat with Jacob and a couple of other people in the corner of the cafeteria.

He kept going on and on about some blog he was writing. Boring!

I start zoning off. (As I usually do). I stare off across the room. A couple tables over is the cheerios table, then the Goth table, and finally the jock table. Puckerman, Finn and some other football players are laughing hysterically about God-knows-what.

Puckerman looks up and immediately locks eyes with mine. His lips curve up into a smile. Finn nudges him in the rib cage with his elbow. The other guys notice and turn around to look at me. They burst out laughing. They sound like a bunch of sick gorillas. EW.

Puckerman stays glued on me and Finn shakes his head and says, "Come on! The guy is obviously in love!" in a sympathetic manor.

One of them replies, "I doubt she feels the same way."

I start to twirl my hair nervously. What am I supposed to do?

I get an idea. I wink at puck as I continue to play with my hair. I even do a little wave and continue to eat my sweet potato fries. (Of which I am so happy the cafeteria has brought back.)

When I finish, I stand up, throw my stuff away, and start to walk into the hallway. Out of the corner of my eye I notice Puckerman get up and walk towards me. As I get into the hall, he's only a couple steps behind.

"Hey Lauren. Wait!" I turn around and smile.

"Hey there, Puckerman" I reply. "Walk with me. Talk with me"

"Alright" he follows next to me. The hallway is empty and the sound of our shoes hitting the beige floor echoes off of everything. We get to my locker and I open it. 24-6-13.

"What's that?" he asks looking at my Edward Cullen poster

"Oh that? That's nothing." I shake my head

"I should be the one hanging up in there" I laugh at his comment.

"Sure", I reply. He starts to run his index finger up and down my arm. Wrist to elbow. I get he realizes it, he smiles. I have butterflies in my stomach, but at this point it's more like an eagle flying around in there. Maybe two eagles.

I lean against the locker next to mine. He leans on his left hand above my right shoulder. He stares into my eyes. Damn it! He knows my weakness. Well, that, along with junk food.

He winks at me and then stars to lean. His lips are about 2 inches away from mine when I hear footsteps coming out of the cafeteria.

Here comes Finn. Puckerman turns his head and gives Finn a dirty look. He rolls his eyes too.

"Oh! I'm sorry! You just…forgot you phone." Finn manages to spit out. Puckerman steps away from me to retrieve his phone from Finn. He whispers to me before he starts walking towards him. "I'll be right back, baby"

I nod and trace his jaw line with my middle and index fingers. He winks at me. I feel like I might faint!

Puckerman walks down the hallway to Finn. Finn gives him his phone. Puckerman says something quietly to Finn. They start laughing and he takes something out of his pocket.

"Should I?" I hear Puckerman ask.

"Defiantly!" Finn said in response. Puck turns around and they both smile at me, a smile of knowing something I don't know.

I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.

Finn waves at me as puck starts to make his way back to me. I wave back.

"So, where were we?" he says as he leans in and kisses me softy on the lips. I pull away. He looks at me as if to say, 'what's wrong babe?'

"Hold your horses there, eager beaver." I reply somewhat monotone. I grab a couple books, close my locker and start walking. He stands there looking confused. After I walk a few feet and don't hear him following me I turn around. "So, you coming or not?"

"Where are you going?" Oh my God! He sounds like he's 6.

"Come with and you'll find out." He walks over and joins me.

Once we're walking, neither of us talks. I look down at his hand. It swings back and forth, sometimes grazing mine. I want so badly to be able to hold his hand and walk down the hallway. I know that I can't. It's too soon.

We finally get to the library. He goes and opens the door for me. Huh, cute.

I guess I must've hesitated because he says, "my lady."

'Welcome to medieval times', I waited for him to add, but he never did.

I walked in and sat down at a nearby table. He sat across from me. The green carpet and beige walls are as dull as the fact that we are in a library when we could be out in the hallway making out. Oh well.

"What is this place?" he asks me. He looks like a kid in a candy store. But like a scary candy store. One that's run by pirates and monsters that live under you bed. His big brown ayes get even bigger as I say, "it's a library. You've never been here?"

"No….." he shakes his head. He looks around nervously.

I wonder what he has up his sleeve…

What were he and Finn talking about?

I can't wait any longer. But I suppose I have to.

I stand up to look for a book on Greek mythology. I'm doing a project on the Greek goddess, Athena. She's strong and independent and doesn't take crap from anyone. Like me.

I sense someone behind me so, naturally, I turn around.

Puckerman is on one knee looking up at me.

He speaks low. (No pun intended)

"Lauren Zizes, will you go to Breadstix with me tomorrow night?" he holds up a cherry ring pop. My favorite flavor! How did he know?

"But tomorrow isn't Valentine's Day." I say suspiciously

"Yeah. Well, we'll be too busy mackin out on Valentines Day to actually eat any food." He smiles. I half laugh and half choke at his explanation. I love that!

"I like your style, Puckerman." I take the ring from him and put it on my ring finger. He stands up. "See you" I say before he leaves the library.

I have a date with Noah Puckerman! And not just a date! Two dates, actually!

I go and sit back down at the table. I look at my book and open it. I try to read the myth about Athena, but can't stop thinking about Puckerman. Screw my project. I have an outfit to pick out for tonight. Maybe I'll have time to go buy something….I don't know.

I'll see.

I leave the library and run straight into Finn.

"Hey! Watch it!" I say before I realize it's Finn "oh! I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was you."

"That's fine. How are you?" he says.

"I'm doing good." I look down at my ring pop which is still on my finger. "How about you?"

"I'm fine. And I see that puck asked you. And it worked?" he gestures to my ring pop.

"Yeah. Thanks to you." I smile. "You talked to him for me, remember?"

"Well, I didn't have to convince him at all actually. He has his heart set on you. Remember that." He says

"But you were sweet enough to offer to help me. Thanks." Then all off a sudden he was kissing me. And, much to my surprise, I was kissing him back. A opened my eyes for a split second and it broke the spell. I took two steps back. "I…I…..Finn…" I managed to say. I looked down at my ring and then down at the floor. All I can do is shake my head. I can't find words. I feel sick. I can't believe I just did that to puck. "I have to go" I finally say and I jog off to anywhere but there.

I turn the corner and lean against the wall. I slide down until I'm sitting on the floor.

I hope puck doesn't turn the corner and see me sitting there. What would I say? I feel my eyes welling up and a tear falls down my right cheek. I hear footsteps and all of a sudden he is standing in front of me looking down. Oh crap!

What am I going to say?

woa! cliffhanger! don't hate me. the voices told me to do it!

don't forget to comment!
