Chapter 6- Everyone thinks about Noah Puckerman
Woah! I just realized in the last chapter all the mistakes I made in it. I'm really sorry about that! I forgot to check over it! I'll make sure that doesn't happen again. Like I messed up a page break (there was supposed to be one between puck in the locker room and santana and kurt at cherrios practice) and i messed up really badly on the spelling. Sorry about that.
Thank you so much for all of your comments! I actually started to come up with a new idea about the "G" thing. Like I know who it is but there might be more to it now. I don't know. This will last a lot longer before we figure it out :)
So everybody... THERE IS FRIGGEN PUCKELBERRY IN THIS CHAPTER! HELL YES!
And we also figure out what happened between Puck and Kurt :) (there will be more stuff about it later- but this is kind of the final explanation of what it is)
There is some Quam :) A little Kurt/Santana friendship. Some Finn knowledge. And some baking :)
Kurt, Santana, and Puck all sat down at breadsticks.
"Okay everyone. We have Quinn Fabrey with us. She doesn't believe that S.S.- I mean Coach Sylvester could be "G" but she did bring up that she thought it was weird that Mr. Schue put us all together,"
"Yeah- that was kind of weird. And Santana- Finn keeps staring at my hand. He asked me if it was a symbol for something," Kurt said glaring at Santana.
"Whatever. So what do you have Puck?" she asked.
"Okay- I looked through Karofsky's things. I didn't find anything on his phone but his password is password. How stupid is that? Oh- and he didn't have an extra phone with him that he could be using. I went through everything. There was nothing. I don't think he's our guy."
"He must've hidden it somewhere" said Kurt.
Santana looked at Kurt for a second.
"Hummel... are you wearing cover up?"
"What... no"
Santana dipped her napkin into her glass and began to wipe Kurt's face.
"Santana! No! No! Pat! Don't rub! I'll get wrinkles! Your messing up my hair"
Santana continued to attack his face with her napkin as Kurt struggled to get away. Puck watched in amusment and then his smile faded. Santana took her napkin away from Kurt's face.
"Shit Hummel," Puck said looking at his bruised eye.
"Who did that to you?" Santana asked.
Kurt looked down.
"Karofsky" he said quietly.
Puck and Santana looked at each other.
Quinn sat down at the dinner table with her mom.
"Quinny sweetie- are you feeling okay? Ever since your sister left you've been acting... differently"
"I'm fine mom,"
"Are you sure Quinny? You can always tell me,"
"Its nothing. I'm just really stressed out with school"
"Yeah- senior year is a hard year" her mom said.
Her mother began to ramble on about how hard senior year was for her. Quinn just picked at her food. It was nice knowing that she wasn't in this "G" thing alone and she had a little bit of luck with Sam today. She felt a little bit happy- but she still couldn't help but feel shame. Every time she looked at the stack of money she had hidden away she was brought to tears. It felt good to give Mr. Schue. the fifty dollars. She couldn't wait to get rid of all of it- every last penny of it. All of the sudden her phone rang.
"Sorry mom," she said checking the caller I.D.
It was Sam. She picked up her phone and walked out of the kitchen.
"Hey Sam," she said.
"Hey Quinn. Do you know if you'll be able to babysit tomorrow? Or do you have cheerleading practice?"
"I can deffinatly do it tomorrow,"
"Thank you so much Quinn! I'm going out with Mercedes tomorrow and my parents are going to be out. Thank you"
"Your welcome" Quinn said happily- despite the fact that he was going on a date with Mercedes.
"Well I gotta go. I have to start trying to figure out how to bake for the bakesale tomorrow. Mercedes is trying to teach me to cook"
Quinn faked a laugh.
"Good luck with that" she said.
"Thanks. Well see you tomorrow"
"See you. Bye" said Quinn.
Great- now she needed to find a way to get out of cheerleading tomorrow.
The next day Finn stormed into the choir room.
"Mr. Schuester!" He called out waving around his money.
Mr. Schue, startled, looked up from his papers.
"What is it Finn?" he asked.
Finn slapped the money down onto Mr. Schue's desk.
"I have money- for the club," Finn said hastily.
Mr. Schue examined the money counting it. His eyebrows shot up.
"Finn... this is eight hundred dollars. How did you make this in so little time?"
"I sold some of my old video games"
"Wow- are you sure you don't want to use this for something else Finn? This is a lot of money,".
"No- no- I want it for the club. Anyways- my parents... and Kurt don't like me having a lot of money lying around. They say I spend it improperly or something"
Mr. Schue. nodded.
"If you're one hundred percent on this Finn"
"I am"
"Are you sure"
"Yeah"
"Finn..."
"Mr. Schuester..."
Mr. Schue. stared at Finn for a moment.
"Okay- okay. But if you ever want some of it back don't be afraid to tell me,"
Finn nodded.
"i'll see you in spanish today Finn,"
"Okay. Bye".
Finn made his way out of the office happily. His phone beeped. He looked down.
Dear Finny,
You seem satisfied. So willing to get rid of that money. Oh right! Because its Kurt's. Poor Kurtie could've used that himself. In fact- that may have not been such a great shirt to take from him. He may have some history with it. Don't worry- I'll remind him.
G
P.S. You're such a great brother
Rachel sat down at her lunch table waiting for Finn and Kurt. She was used to sitting at a table alone so it didn't bother her. After all she had some lines to reherse for her callback and she needed to practice them privatly. As she began to murmur the lines under her breath she felt someone sit in front of her. She quickly stuffed the papers into her bag and looked up. There sitting in front of her was Puck.
She felt her face flush.
"Oh- hi Puck," she said.
"Hey," he said smiling at her.
He would sometimes sit with her especially when he was having conflict with some of the football players and didn't want to sit at their table.
"What was that?" he asked looking at her bag.
"Oh- that was nothing. Just some notes for class"
"Really?" he asked.
Rachel sighed.
"No. If I tell you something... will you promise not to get mad at me?"
"How could I be mad at you?"
Rachel blushed.
"Okay- I got this part- for this movie. Well- I got called back for it. And I have to kind of do it in secret- because you know its against show choir rules to be in a paying performance and compete. But I decided- no one will know if- you know... I don't say anything. It will be finished a month or two after nationals,"
Instead of freaking out on her like Finn had when she told him about Jessie Puck just smiled and said, "Wow Rachel. I never thought I'd see the day where you would try to break the rules".
Rachel laughed.
"I probably shouldn't have told you..."
"Don't worry- your secrets safe with me"
Rachel smiled. That was good to hear after being told that her secrets had fallen into the wrong hands. And Puck was going through it too so he knew what it was like. She couldn't imagine how hard it was for him though. He had made a lot of mistakes in the past that this "G" person could use against him. And he was really changing now and he didn't deserve his bad past hanging over him.
Rachel started to say something else when Finn walked up to them.
"Hey Rachel. Hey Puck" said Finn casually sitting down next to Rachel.
Rachel couldn't believe that he didn't freak out at her sitting with Puck. Maybe he and Puck had some agreement or something guys do. It was kind of weird that they just started being friends again with no weirdness between them.
There was no reason for Finn to be concerned about her sitting with Puck. Not at all! Heck- why had she even been sitting with Puck alone? Hadn't she decided not to do that anymore so there wouldn't be anymore pictures? No- she needed to stop freaking out. They didn't do anything wrong. They just had a normal friendly conversation. They were friends- that's all they were and that's all they were going to be. Not like she wanted to be anything more!
"You promise you'll tell me next time Karofsky does that to you?"
"Yes Santana- for the hundreth time YES!"
Santana grinned.
"Okay- good".
She started to reach for his hand but Kurt pulled his hand away.
"No way Santana! Not after last time!"
"But we're a couple Hummel! Couples hold hands"
"Yeah- and you know what couples don't do? Dig their fingernails into the other persons hand"
"Sorry- I was in a bitchy mood," Santana said rolling her eyes. They both walked into the cafeteria. Suddenly Santana's eyes drifted from Kurt to the bakesale table. Kurt looked over at it. Quinn Fabrey was buying four cupcakes. That was a little weird. Quinn hated eating junk. Was she prego again? Then Kurt realized what Santana was staring at. Brittany.
"Hey- come on," he said grabbing her hand.
Santana let out a sigh and they made their way to their table.
"Do we really have to sit with Berry?" Santana whined.
"She's my friend Santana. And where else are we going to sit? You hate the other cherrios,".
Santana sighed. She had usually sat with Brittany and the other cherrios at lunch (usually just to be with Brittany) and Kurt had sat with Rachel and Mercedes. The clubs seating arangments had changed a lot over the years.
The two of them sat down at the table. Kurt noticed Puck was sitting there. They exchanged an awkward glance. Even though they had had dinner at breadsticks together yesturday things were still weird between them. Santana had distracted them from the weirdness when she was around though.
Kurt had wondered what Puck had written on the note. Did he write exactly what had happened? How much detail had he put into it? Did he even remember a lot of it? They were both really drunk. Kurt barely remembered it himself but Puck, humiliated, had told him everything when Kurt asked him what happened.
It really bugged Kurt that he couldn't remember something like that- because even though it was a complete mistake and he didn't have romantic feelings for Puck- he would really like to remember his first kiss and... well his first time at second and third base- and how he almost had his first time.
He couldn't believe it was Puck though. Puck couldn't believe that it was him either. They were both embarrassed about it and the fact that this "G" guy could possibly know all about it really freaked Kurt out.
Finn watched Kurt and Puck look at each other weirdly. That was really weird. Maybe- MAYBE! they knew that they were being sent the text messages.
Finn felt a light bulb go on in his head. Maybe that's what Kurt and Puck were looking at Santana about.
All of the sudden Finn felt something that he hadn't felt in a long time. He had had a revelation! An ephiphany! He was even using big words now. All of the sudden he noticed Rachel and the rest of the table looking at him. He was grinning.
"What?" he asked still smiling.
"Did you figure out that thing you were going to tell me?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah!"
He felt Puck, Santana, and Kurt all looking at him.
"Come with me- so- so- I can tell you," he said awkwardly.
Rachel had this weird look on her face- the one she usually had when he said something stupid. But he was being smart now! When he talked to her she wouldn't be making that face anymore.
They walked out of the cafeteria.
"What is it Finn?" Rachel asked.
"Santana's getting text messages too. And they all know that we are!"
Rachel stared at him shocked.
"You might actually be right," she said.
Finn beemed. He loved proving to people that he actually was smart.
"But... we can't just ask them if they are... that would be against 'G's rules. There has to be a way to let them know that we know that they know," said Rachel.
Finn had become lost again. He looked at Rachel who was talking non-stop. He would occasionally nod his head pretending to listen to her.
"Okay everyone we're off to a good start with the money," said Mr. Schue.
Quinn could barely hear what he was saying. She felt sick, added onto the sick feeling she had been feeling for the past few days. Four cupcakes for lunch? Not her smartest move.
But that was only four more dollars of her money. She needed to find a way to get rid of more of it. She kind of regreted not handing Mr. Schue. more than fifty dollars. She looked over at Sam. Bits of hope had started to come back to his face when he realized how well New Directions was doing on the money. This made Quinn smile.
Actually- he seemed to be the only thing that could make her smile these days.
Finally Mr. Schue. dissmissed the class. Quinn made her way to Cherrios practice- then she remembered she was babysitting for Sam. How was she going to get out of practice?
She walked up to Santana.
"Hey Santana- can I talk to you for a second?"
Instead of Santana glarring at her like she usually did she nodded. It was probably just because of the "G" thing... but it still felt good to be on Santana's good side again.
"Um- I'm not really feeling well today and I can't make it to practice. Can you try to help me figure out what to tell Coach Sylvester?"
"Okay..." Santana started. "Oh! I could tell her that you left during Glee practice because you got food poisoning and were throwing up every where. Sue doesn't want people who are throwing up at her practices,".
"Right- thank you," said Quinn.
Santana nodded. Quinn made her way out of the school making sure that she wasn't caught by Sue. She got into her car and drove to Sam's house. Her phone beeped right as she pulled into the parking lot. She slowly picked it up.
Quinn,
Why do you continue to do stupid things after you know I have so much against you? You keep on continue to prove to me that you are not cheer captain material. I would stop telling lies if I was you. They're only going to come back to hurt you.

Santana, Puck, and Kurt all sat in the Hudmel kitchen. Kurt had taken out a bunch of baking ingrediants and recipe books and was currently stirring a bowl of cookie dough.
"So when are Rachel and Finn going to be here?" Puck asked.
"Finn couldn't make it out of practice and Rachel said she had a few cookbooks that she was going to bring," said Kurt. Then he looked at Puck. "How did you manage to get out of practice?"
"I have a bad knee," Puck lied.
All of the sudden the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Puck said.
He quickly made his way to the door and opened it. There before him was Rachel carrying a stack of recipe books. She looked like she was about to fall over.
"Here... let me help you with that," Puck said.
He took the majority of the books out of her hands.
"Thanks Noah," she said smiling at him.
The two of them walked into the kitchen.
"Woah Berry... that's a lot of books," Santana said.
"They're my..." Rachel paused. "I had them lying around".
In truth Rachel had just been at Shelby's picking up the cook books from her.
"So- um... what are we making?" she asked.
"Well Hum- Kurt is making cookies," Santana said as Kurt put the tray into the oven.
"Oh yay! Kurt makes awesome cookies!" Rachel said happily.
"Don't eat them Berry," Santana said annoyed.
"I wasn't going to..."
Then she turned to Puck.
"Hey- are you going to make those cupcakes you made last year?" she asked. "We made a lot of money off of those".
Puck's smile faded.
"Oh- um- I don't know if I... have the right ingrediants for those," he said.
Rachel nodded.
"I have another cupcake recipe we could try," she said. "I'm not the best cook... maybe you could help me".
She smiled at him.
Puck looked at her mistified. This was too good to be true. Baking was the key to any girls heart... he would know.
"Yeah sure," he said grinning.
Rachel picked up a book and began flipping through the pages.
Santana just looked at the two of them disgusted. She knew for a fact this best friend cherade would never last. One of them was going to get their heart broken... and she had a feeling it was going to be Puck. That would be an interesting change.
Finn was a little distracted during practice. Now that he was away from Rachel he couldn't help but think. About what "G" had said in the text message... about Kurt having history with that shirt. What did that mean?
And "G" said that he was going to remind Kurt about the shirt... what if he asked Finn about it. What would he say?
Finn started to feel a little guilty for selling the shirt... but there was no way to get it back. And... Kurt shouldn't be buying something so expensive when the Glee club was in need of money... Right?
All of the sudden a football hit him in the head. He spun around. Karofsky was laughing at him.
"Hudson! What is wrong with you! We have a game next week!" Coach Beiste yelled out.
"Sorry Coach" Finn said.
He couldn't get distracted. Not now. He couldn't let this "G" stuff get to his head.
"Oh my God these actually came out so amazing!" Rachel said happily pulling off another peice of the cupcake she was sharing with Puck.
Puck nodded and gave Rachel a high five. Then Rachel looked at Puck for a second.
"Puck," she said her voice a little less cheerful. "I know about you, Santana, and Kurt getting the texts. So does Finn".
"Yeah... I knew about everyone. Quinn's getting them too,".
"Really? How'd you find out"
"'G' left me some hints"
"Oh... so that's why you were asking me and Finn about it"
Puck nodded.
Rachel looked up at him.
"Puck... I'm really scared. I really don't like people knowing all these personal things about me and trying to ruin my life and stalk me,"
"I don't like it either," Puck said. "I've really been trying to figure it out... but this 'G' person isn't leaving any clues... at all. I mean- Santana and Kurt are going to be trying to find a way to get into Sue's office but Santana said Quinn was sure it wasn't her. Kurt thought it was Karofsky but I went through Karofsky's stuff and there was nothing. I really wish this could be easier you know?"
Rachel nodded. The two of them looked at each other. Rachel felt a warm rush through her body. She suddenly had an urge to lean over the table and... no! No! That was ridiculous! She shouldn't be thinking these things.
She was just in a moment of weakness. Her heart belonged to Finn.
At that moment Santana and Kurt came walking into the room.
"Okay... I think my hands are going to go numb from all this mixing," said Santana.
"Yeah... I think we have enough to last us tomorrow," said Kurt.
The two of them took seats by Rachel and Puck. They looked at them.
"Rachel's in," Puck said.
"Great... now we have Berry and Fabrey,"
"Hey Santana be nice. We're all in this together- I think we should all be here for each other"
"What is this? High school Musical?" Santana said annoyed.
All of the sudden their phones beeped simultaniously. They all looked at each other horrified. Rachel took a deep breath and looked down at her phone.
Dear Rachel,
I have sent one of the people in this room one of your secrets since you failed to keep my secret from them. Here's one of Santana's.
G
Rachel scrolled down to see a picture of Brittany and Santana kissing.
She looked over at Santana. But then she felt her heart beating quickly. Who had her secret? And which one?
I hope you loved it!
Next chapter everyone is going to come together and there's going to be a lot of drama!
Santana is not going to be happy about Rachel knowing.
Also more secrets are distributed.
There will be a little bit of Quam. And some Santana bitchiness (because you know- she can't be nice for so long). There will also be some Santana speaking in spanish (let me warn you I have been taking spanish 1 for the past three years and will only know be graduating to spanish 2 so most of it will be from google translate. I'll put the translations on the bottom)
There will also be some of the group trying to figure out who "G" is when their really tired (it gets ugly)
Quinn also gets a little bitchy
There will also be one of the most awkward sleepovers ever.
More Puckelberry :D and some destructive Finchelness :D
And we have an appearance by our favorite dapper warbler :D
I hope you guys love it!
