OK so I don't know if I said any specific timeline in this piece but here it is. I am setting this fic in which Krissy's first day at McKinley was January 12th 2010. Any events in the Glee-verse up through sectionals and pretty much happened with Regionals being sometime in March and Quinn's due date being in April. That said this fic may experience some time jumps or will be insanely long depending on my muse. As far as GH verse goes this is obviously AU cause Krissy is still with that douche Kiefer and from spoilers it looks like she's going to besmirch Ethan's character to prop the dick up…grrr. Sorry to rant, anyways while I have your attention who should I have Ethan have a brief moment with Tina, Mercedes, Brittany, or Santana? Also what book should Krissy and Kurt be reporting on for Lit? Anyways on with the show…
The following morning Kristina got up and peered out of her window. A light snowfall happened over night though not enough to warrant a snow day being called.
Slipping on a pair of jeans and a cozy sweater she began to primp herself for the day ahead when the sound of a horn honking from outside filled her ears followed by her mom's voice calling up the stairs.
"Kristina, Kurt is here."
She was pleasantly surprised.
Sure she told her friend how she wouldn't mind him driving her to and from school but she didn't think he'd take it to heart.
Picking up her cell she dialed the young man's number.
"Morning sunshine," Kurt said from his end, "so are you coming downstairs or what."
"You didn't have to pick me up you know."
"I wanted too, now are you coming or not."
"Give me five minutes, come inside if you want."
There was a click and three minutes later Kristina came downstairs to find Kurt sitting at the dining room table talking to Molly about god only knew what.
Turning to Kristina he smiled.
"So ready to go princess."
Popping a mini muffin in her mouth she nodded picking up her bag and following Kurt out to his car.
-
Picking up Mercedes like the day before soon they arrived at school.
Today there was no entourage waiting for the trio as they headed to their respective lockers where nothing eventful happened.
Lab was kind of bla as well as Noah (as she preferred to call him) and her talked about their study session before falling into that days lecture.
Classes passed, lunch arrived and the conversation drifted into Kristina, Mercedes and Tina talking about planning a girls night out. This lead to Kurt stating how he was one of the girls and should be included leading Artie to protest that this would only lead to the four of them creating inside jokes that would be over his head.
That was rather fun.
The only other seemingly eventful mark in the school day was in Lit where the teacher told the class that for their oral presentations that they could not only pair up but that she encouraged them to be creative in their presentation.
Kurt then began to proceed to tell Kristina that they should pair up before beginning to ramble on about dressing up or something.

That afternoon while doing her homework Ethan called her cell much to her delight.
The two friends began to talk all about how Ethan lacked prospective girlfriends to which Ethan went on about how people still judged him over the fact that when he first came to town he was running a con with Rebecca Shaw whom he fell hard and fast for while she fell hard and fast for the mark, her dead sisters grieving widow. But that was another story all together.
Kristina had then turned the subject to life in Lima and her friends including Artie who she was keeping it casual with…for now.
Ethan told her that this was a wise choice on her behalf while she told him how her first performance with the glee club was in a few weeks and how he had to come to see it.
"I'll try my best to be there love," he said sweetly to her as they continued their conversation well into the evening.
--
The following day was her (non) date with Puck.
It wasn't until noonish so Kristina took the time in the morning to work on some weekend homework and practice some of her music in her room all while making sure her flash cards were in order.
She was a good multi tasker.
Heading downstairs when it got closer she watched as her mother inspected her.
Alexis it seemed still didn't believe that this 'date' with this Noah boy was just a study session however seeing her daughter dressed down in casual attire rather then being all dolled up made her feel a little better.
"So, can I at least meet this boy," Alexis said on the drive to the café.
Kristina shrugged.
If he was waiting outside she'd most definitely introduce him to her mother. She had no problem with that.
He wasn't outside however and Kristina simply gave her mother a hug promising her that she would call when she was ready to leave weather she needed a ride or not.
--
Entering the shop she spotted the young man already sitting at a booth nursing a bottle of Gatorade while looking over his chemistry notes.
"Hey Noah," she said slipping across the booth from him.
Looking up his face curled into a smile. He liked it when the young girl called him that as the only people who called him that besides her was his mom, sister, the occasional teacher and Rachel.
"Ok, so let's get this show on the road."
Nodding Kristina pulled out her flash cards and began to show them to her partner.
"Hydrogen… Helium …Lithium."
Kristina smiled.
He seemed to be getting this better then they both expected so they decided to let some light conversation dip into their session.
"So," Puck said, "how is that duet of yours coming, I know you practiced after glee the other day."
Kristina blushed a bit thinking about the kiss as she picked up the next card.
"Beryllium… it sucks doesn't it."
"It doesn't suck, its rather well thank you, anyways you'll see it Tuesday like the rest of the club. Anyway…"
"Anyway what," he asked as she pulled up the next card, "…Boron."
Kristina nodded at his correct answer.
"Anyway what was it about you wanting to sing a solo, I meant to ask yesterday during homeroom."
He shook his head. Hoping that she wouldn't of asked him that question, as he really didn't know how to respond.
"Well… Carbon…well I guess it's because I kind of… Nitrogen…I kind of still have feelings for a certain someone in Glee Club and… Oxygen… and I kind of want her to know I'm still thinking about her."
Kristina nodded purring two and two together and assuming that this someone was Quinn Fabray after all she was the mother of his child.
"That's so sweet. I mean I haven't heard you sing solo yet but from our group stuff you have a great voice and Quinn is one lucky girl to have you want to serenade her like that."
Puck bit his lips. How was he to possibly explain that it wasn't Quinn that he was referring to.
Letting the next flash card be a distraction he smiled.
"Fluorine, Neon, Sodium.."
"Noah."
"What," he said watching her put down the cards.
"It's not Quinn is it."
He shook his head.
"It's complicated."
Kristina smirked.
"Believe me I have had my share of complexities Noah so start at the beginning."
Puck nodded knowing he could trust the young woman sitting across from him.
"Let me buy you a scone and we'll continue this conversation."
Kristina nodded and watched the young man leave.
-
A few minutes later Puck arrived back with a chocolate chip scone and an iced latte.
"Thanks," Kristina said taking a sip of the drink while her companion split the scone.
He nodded sucking in a deep breath.
'Here goes nothing Puckerman,' he thought to himself trying to think of where to begin.
"Quinn wants to give up the baby," he simply stated.
Kristina nodded.
She had already known that.
Quinn had planed to give the baby to Mr. Schuster's soon to be ex wife Terri who had planed to pass off the little girl as her own.
"I know."
Puck nodded.
"But what you don't know is that when Mrs. Schuster was going to adopt the child I didn't have to worry about never seeing her again, but now she's looking for new adoptive parents, and well she wants to do it all on her own."
"But you're the father, you have rights."
"I know, anyway I know I shouldn't load this all on you but your moms a lawyer isn't there a way she can help me fight things, help me convince Quinn to have an open adoption, at least on my end. I mean I know I'm only sixteen but I want my little girl to know her father loves her."
Kristina's heart broke at her friend's words.
"Why not ask Rachel, her father's are lawyers too and they are more established in the community."
"And add to the complexity," Puck said when suddenly it clicked in Kristina's head.
The girl in glee, the one he wanted to sing too. It was Rachel Berry.
And she thought Lima wouldn't be interesting. Ha. The plot to the little movie in her life was thickening.
Kurt liked Finn, Finn liked Rachel. Maybe, Rachel definitely liked Finn and now Puck she found out liked Rachel. This was shaping up to be quite a fun little quad, well pentagon considering Quinn's involvement.
"Well my mom wants to meet you anyways, maybe you can drive me home and state your case to her."
Puck nodded.
"Anyways I'm sorry to keep using you like this."
Kristina smiled.
"It's ok, one day I'll need something and I'll come to you to collect."
He let out a laugh. He couldn't wait.
"Anyways Kristina where were we."
Picking up the top card on the stack she held it up to him.
"Magnesium…"
--
Some time had passed and Kristina looked up to her companion and smiled.
"Noah, are you sure you didn't want to set up this study session to spend time with me."
He blinked a bit shocked at the sudden change in tone that Kristina was giving him.
"No, why would you say a thing like that."
She smiled.
"Well then your smarter then you give yourself credit for. All you really need to do is apply yourself and I don't see why you can't simply shock everyone by getting on the honor roll instead of just squeaking by on average grades."
He smiled. Flattered that someone saw him as more then just a bully and a looser.
"So, want to blow this joint, get some real food, maybe do something fun."
Kristina glared at him wondering what he was getting at.
He read her look and shook his head.
"Relax, before you protest I get it, you like Artie, I like Rachel, friends can go out for Pizza's and a Matinee at the Cineplex without it being a federal offence."
Kristina grinned knowing this would be the perfect time to collect on her favor.
"Fine, but I get to pick the movie."
Puck just nodded cringing at whatever chick flick he would be dragged to see hoping that at least the lead actress in it was hot.

TBC
I don't know if it should just be implied that he met Alexis or if I should write an Alexis/Puck meeting in a later chapter even if it's in flashback form.
Anyways thanks for all the reviews. Keep them coming.
