Chapter 2

It was the first day of Sophomore year and Emily woke up early to get ready. She showered and got dressed in her cheerleader uniform. She walked downstairs and was immediately greeted by her mother and brother. "Morning, Emily. I made my traditional back to school breakfast. What are you in the mood for?"

Emily sat next to Finn at the table and looked at the food in front of her. She was really hungry and she hadn't had her mother's pancakes in months but she couldn't eat anything so fattening if she wanted to maintain her status on the Cheerios. Especially since she was now co-captain with Quinn. She had to set an example for the other girls.

"Umm, mom, I think I'll just have a little bit of eggs and some grapefruit."

Her mom and Finn both looked at her and they were afraid that her bulimia/anorexia was back. "Umm, Em, you're not starving yourself or going on another crash diet again, right?" Finn asked concerned.

"No, come on, guys, I am fine. I just don't want a very big breakfast. And if I get hungry I'll eat a protein bar or something. I'm not going to starve myself like last year. I'm determined to stay healthy this year."

They went to school and everything was normal as always. In fact for the next three weeks it was normal. Since at this point, everyone had gotten into a steady pace when it came to school, and activities and work, that it was time for the annual beginning of the year party. Emily dressed up in a short denim skirt along with a form fitted light pink top that showed off a fair amount of cleavage and some of her midriff. She paired it with a pair of light pink heels. She put on her make-up and her hoop earrings and a long necklace with big fake pearls attached at certain points. She walked downstairs and saw her brother waiting for them. He was wearing his usual jeans and t-shirt. "Are you wearing that?"

"Yeah. What's wrong with it?"

"It's a little revealing don't you think?"

Emily rolled her eyes and said, "It's fine. Come on." They walked outside and saw Quinn waiting for them in her new car that her father bought her for joining the chastity club last year. She sat in the backseat while Finn sat in the front. After Finn shut the door, he leaned over and started kissing Quinn. They kissed for a couple of minutes before Emily cleared her throat and said, "Umm, guys can we go?"

"Oh, sorry, Em." Quinn said with a giggle.

They drove to the party while singing along with the radio. Once inside Adam Thomas' house, Emily left the couple to find her boyfriend. When she walked through the house, she found Jake chatting up some girl. Emily came up behind them and tapped Jake's shoulder. "Oh, hey, Em, you look good. Do you know Chelsea?"

"Yeah." Emily said uncomfortably.

"Come, on baby, let's go someplace quiet."

The two went outside and sat on the porch swing. They started kissing while Jake started running his hands all over Emily's body. She started getting uncomfortable and broke the kiss. "Jake, seriously stop. This is the third time I had to tell you to stop."

Jake sighed and he started to get really annoyed, "You know, I'm starting to get real sick of this whole tease game you got going on."

"Really, is that why you keep talking to all of these skanks? Because they put out and I don't?"

"Pretty much, yeah. Look, Emily, you're very hot but the fact of the matter is, I'm a football player and people expect me to score, not only on the field but with girls too. And I've waited for you to be ready for seven months now. I'm tired of you teasing me enough to get excited and then saying no at the last second. That's why I've been seeing other girls. But I want to be with you and we should do this tonight."

"Are you kidding me? You tell me that you've been sleeping with other girls and then you tell me that we should get a room. You are unbelievable." She said getting off the swing.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Anywhere that is away from you."

"Hey, Em, don't be like that. Hey don't walk away, I'm still your boyfriend."

"No you're not."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. We're done. Now you're free to screw any girl that you want."

Emily walked into the house and quickly spotted Santana, Brittany, and Quinn. "Hey, I need to get drunk."

"Why?" Brittany asked.

"I just broke up with Jake. The ass was cheating on me because I wouldn't put out."

"What a jackass." Quinn said.

"Look I just want to forget about it."

"Come on, chica, I know a way to make you feel better." Santana said. She put a wine cooler in Emily's hand and then said, "Now we just need to get you with another guy. You could do so much better than Jake and you're going to find that out tonight."

About an hour and a half later, Emily was drunk. Now she wasn't so drunk that she was slurring her words or acting like a complete idiot or anything but she was pretty damn close to it. As she was walking through the house to find Quinn, she saw Jake coming downstairs with the skank from earlier. Emily saw, shots of whiskey and she downed two of them. "Hey, maybe you should slow down a bit."

Emily looked behind her and saw Puck giving her his signature smirk. "Go away, Puckerman, I'm not in the mood for your childish antics."

Puck laughed lightly, "Only you would use big words when you are completely smashed." After a moment, Puck said, "So, word is that you and Jake broke up and that you are officially on the market."

"What's it to you?"

"Oh, baby, you are one of the finest girls I've ever seen, and Jake never deserved you. Especially since he told all of the guys that you two did it in the back of his truck."

"He said that?"

"Yup. Now come on."

"Where are we going?"

"Like I said, you are one of the finest girls I've ever seen and I'm one of the best looking badasses that you will ever find. So come on, us beautiful people should be able to make out with each other." Puck grabbed two six packs of wine coolers before heading upstairs with Emily.

He closed the door and handed her a wine cooler before he started to kiss her.
