Chapter 5

I sigh at Glee rehearsal, I can tell that Arty wants to ask me why I pushed him to class, and I notice that Puck hasn't stopped trying to get my attention. I try to ignore it as best I can. When rehearsal is over I go to walk out with Kurt when Puck comes over. "You said that we'd talk after Glee, and Glee's over, so let's talk."

I smile to Kurt, "I'll just be a sec-"

"I'll drive her home Hummel," Puck dismisses my comment to Kurt.

I go to object when Puck speaks up again, "We need to work on our Spanish project in the library."

Kurt accepts this answer and waves goodbye as he leaves me alone with Puck.

"Let's go to the library," I begin walking and he laughs.

"We're not going to the library. We need to talk and you're supposed to be quiet in a library."

I smirk, "I am honestly surprised that you know that."

He gives me a disapproving look before he walks with me out onto the football field so we can talk about whatever he insists on talking about.

"What do you want to talk about?" I ask after about fifteen minutes of aimless walking.

He shrugs, "About what happened in the hall for starters."

"I had to go push Arty to class, that's all that happened." I lie my ass off, I know very well that we were moments away from having a moment.

He rolls his eyes, "Yeah, totally nothing happened."

"I do want to apologize though." I say looking at my feet.

He smiles to himself, "What about?"

"You were right," I admit, "I was judging you on what Kurt had told me and not from my own observations and experiences. Although, I am sure he wasn't lying, I should've given you a fair chance to see what kind of a person that you are, and I apologize."

He smirks, "It's cool. Do you like football?"

"It's okay," I shrug, "I mean I get it for the most part, but it's the flags that confuse me and it's a little to violent for my taste." I motion to my hat, "I personally prefer baseball."

He nods, "Baseball's cool, but it's not enough of a contact sport, although I do play baseball also."

"Cool," I say, "Well, I guess I should get going, it's a long walk back to Kurt's and-"

"I told Hummel I'd drive you home, and I'm a man of my word." He interrupts me.

I look at him questioningly, "It's fine, I'll walk home, I could use the exercise anyway, and I don't want to impose-"

"I'm driving you home, end of discussion!" Puck leads me out to his car which isn't quite as nice as Kurt's but I don't really mind that so much.

I tell him which way to go and when we're a block away from Kurt's he slams on the brake. "What the hell are you doing?!" I shriek.

"I want to know why every time we start having an actual conversation you change the subject it is so annoying, I don't get you." He sighed dramatically.

I stare at him, at a loss for words, "I'm sorry." That's the only thing that I manage to say.

He rolls his eyes at me, "Is that all you're ever going to say?"

I look down at the floor, he's has brought up a good point yet again, and I feel like a terrible person.

We sit in silence for a few minutes still not moving. "You know," he says, "you give me crap all the time as if my life isn't complicated enough! I have a kid okay! I don't need you making my life any more difficult."

"It's not my fault that you were irresponsible and decided to go have sex with someone! It's not my fault that you made a bad life choice, and you know what, I'm not sorry for trying to be a good friend! I am sorry for possibly misjudging you, but for this little episode I think it's safe to say that my first assumption was correct, you are a jerk Noah!" I snap at him out of intense anger.

That's when he does the most surprising thing he grabs my face and kisses me. It's the most fantastic feeling but it should suck, I should hate it, I am supposed to hate this, I am supposed to hate him, but instead I find myself kissing back, and I really like it.

He smiles and I smile back. He starts driving again, and he turns to me, "So where does Kurt live again, because I think I might get lost."
