A/N1: Sorry for not updating sooner, I had some problems that came up and then my computer somehow deleted this chapter, so I had to start this chapter all over again. Hope you enjoy it! To the Finchel fans out there: You might not like this as much, and I'm REALLY sorry, but I didn't know where to go with them except for this! I hope you'll still follow the story.
Thanks to Ashley218 for seeing my typo! Last chapter, New Directions sang Firework by Katy Perry, not what I said it was. Thanks again! Oh, and Quinn never got pregnant, sorry for any confusion. This is set in season 2, but they are Sophmores.

-Rachel POV-
"Hey Finn," I said walking into the choir room. "I need to talk to you."
"Me too," Finn said. "I don't think this is gonna work out… I mean us…" He said looking up expectantly. Honestly, I was shocked.
"Finn," I cautiously started, "I-I…I feel the same way." I said. Finn had just read my mind!
"I mean, I still wanna be friends-I mean…" He trailed off.
"Finn, I said, "you're like the older brother I never had, and I just want us to stay that way. I'll admit, I was crazy for you in the beginning of this year-and before that- but I think that we're just better off as friends. What do you say, Finn? Friends?" I asked, putting out my hands.
He surprised me with what he did next; he pushed my hand aside and gave me a huge hug, which I gratefully returned. We walked out of the choir room to get our books for the next class, English. I saw Puck walking past us, quickly stopping to say hi.
"Berry. Hudson." He said, nodding to each one of us, "I see you two are no longer a couple, mind if I go for the rebound Hudson?" he said, asking Finn.
"Ha!" Finn said, laughing, "Maybe you should ask Rach." Puck turned to me and said: "How about dinner than, Rach, tomorrow night?" He said. "I'd love to, Noah." I replied, secretly jumping up and down in my heart. I mean, Puck and I have known each other for a LONG time, and I really wanted to be a couple with him, I mean, we've been so close, it was always the four of us; Quinn, Finn, Noah, and myself. I was ready to be with him, and he was ready to be with me. YES!
He walked away and I grabbed my books and I turned around to see Finn and Quinn staring at me with expectant looks. "What?" I asked. "You SO love him!" Finn and Quinn replied at the same time.
"And you two love each other! You should date!" I said confidently, quickly shushing them up. Finn quickly ran away after that, which made Quinn and I crack up.
"So, Rach," Quinn said "What are you going to do for the English project presentations today? I mean, I know you did your thingy on Broadway, but what are you going to sing?" My best friend asked.
'God,' I thought 'she knows me too well!' "Well, Q, I'm going to sing Give my regards to Broadway.
"That sounds great, Rach! I can't wait to see you perform it!" She said, just as we walked into the class.
"Thanks, Quinnie!" I said, looking up at her to see her tongue sticking out at me, which I reciprocated.
We sat down and talked to Finn and Puck for a while before class started.
"Hey Babe," Noah said softly into my ear, he was so close I could feel his breath on my skin and it made my hairs rise. "Don't you think Finn and Quinn make a cute couple?"
I looked at the two of them, studying them and imagining them as a couple "Yeah, they do, don't they?"
"I knew it. The Puckster's never wrong." He confidently said, giving me a quick peck on the lips. Most people would have found this weird, like 5 minutes after getting asked out, you're already kissing, but we've known each other for so long (since we're both Jewish, and I also teach his sisters dance class), it was completely normal. Ms. Corcoran walked into the room, and told us to get ready for class, since we still had about 5 minutes.
-Shelby POV-
"Class starts in 5 minutes, guys." I said to the chattering group of friends. Rachel was now on Noah's lap and Quinn and Finn were holding hands. After sitting for about 10 seconds, though it seemed like eternity, I decided to go and talk to the group of friends.
"Hi guys." I said, sitting close to them, "so, today we are going to have Rachel presenting her project, since she comes first alphabetically." I explained to all of them. Turning to Rachel I said "Are you ready for this?"
"I most definitely am, Ms. Corcoran!" She replied with a confidant smile. "OK, guys" I said as everyone else started walking in, "I hope you're ready, because Rachel, you're up!" She enthusiastically got up and put her CD into the boom box and pressed play.
-Rachel POV-
I pressed play on the boom box and took a deep breath as the music filled my ears and the classroom
Give my regards to Broadway,
Remember me to Herald Square,
Tell all the gang at Forty Second street,
that I will soon be there;
Tell them of how I'm yearning,
To mingle with the old time throng,
Give my regards to old Broadway, Broadway
And mingle with the old time throng.
Give my regards to old Broadway
And tell them I'll be there (I will be there) (x2)
I'll be there-oh!(AN- Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff sang this at one of the Macy's day parades, it's SOO good!)
I looked up after I finished to see the whole room clapping, but I only had eyes for one Noah Puckerman, my boyfriend.
AN- I know it was kinda short, but I'll do my best to update tomorrow! Thanks for all the reviews and sorry for the wait! (:
