Last chapter….
Puck sighed this was going to be a long night.
"Alright how about we start with when the hell did you become best friends with Rachel Berry?" Sam asked Puck who was still on edge and glared at Sam.
"Don't say her name like it's a piece of shit and maybe we can talk."
Mike groaned in frustration, "Okay Sam, since Puck looks like he's seeking vengeance I suggest thinking before you speak or your going to end up bleeding and unconscious." Mike told Sam. Sam looked over at Puck who was still glaring at him; he quickly shoved himself farther away from him.
"Well it's a fair question." Artie said "Because after all, last year Puck was throwing slushies at her and I wasn't sure if you two even knew her."
"Oh no what you were seeing was Rachel's master plan." Matt said in a sarcastic voice.
"Plan?" Sam asked confused.
"It started freshman year," a voice from the doorway said making all the boys jump and turn to see Tina and a now much warmer Rachel. Wearing a set of Tina's matching black sweats and holding a cup of tea. Mike automatically sprang up , he kissed Tina's cheek and they exchanged a smile before Mike turned to Rachel.
"Rachel!" He shouted and picked her up, swinging her around. Tina quickly grabbed the tea out of Rachel's hands, laughing at his energetic antics. "Your not a popsicle!" Mike said and Rachel laughed. "Tina how do you put up with him?" Rachel said turning to Tina "He's like a 5 year old or a really energetic puppy."
Tina shrugged "He's lovable."
Mike grinned, "Yes I am."
Rachel rolled her eyes and untangled herself from Mike; she took her tea back and went to sit next to Puck. Who casually (or at least he thought he was) put his arm on the back of the couch near her.
"Okay now I'm curious about what plan you all are talking about." Artie said, he looked at Rachel "Spill the secret beans girl." Rachel snorted at Artie's word choice.
"It's actually pretty simple."
"And stupid." Puck said, Rachel nudged him and continued, "To put a long story short since I explained a lot over the phone I have been friends with Puck since I was 4, Mike 5 and Matt 10. But when we entered high school their social status went up and mine unfortunately went down. We ignored it at first since these three are very stubborn." Rachel said glaring at Matt and Mike who were hi-fiving each other for their stubbornness. "We acted normal." Rachel sighed, "But then the team started to turn on them and they started getting hurt in practices for spending time with me."
"Rachel we told you we didn't care about that, they were just bruises." Puck told her. Rachel turned toward him and narrowed her eyes "Yes Noah, bruises that I indirectly caused all three of you. I told them that at least in school they couldn't show they were friends with me. And forced Noah to show a public declaration of the disbanding of our friendship."
The whole room was silent until a really confused Sam said "Huh?"
Many people rolled their eyes "Sam" Tina said. Sam turned towards Tina "How do you think the slushies started?" Sam paused for a second then his eyes got really big and he looked up at Puck. Who was glaring at the floor so hard Sam was surprised it hadn't burst into flames.
"So Rachel started the slushies." Sam said
"Yeah and it was stupid." Mike spat out frustrated.
"I'm with other Asian on this one Rachel, that's a whole other level of crazy." Artie told Rachel.
Rachel groaned frustrated with all of them. "Alright maybe it wasn't my best idea."
"You think?" Sam said. Rachel glared at him " But it worked, you three are fine and that's all that matters." At this point Puck had enough and jumped up to start screaming some sense into Rachel. Rachel seeing that Noah was about to explode jumped up at the same time as him and covered his mouth.
"Don't you dare start Noah Puckerman, I don't care how, as Santana would put it loco I'm being it's in the past. We can't change it then and we can't change it now."
"Wait what do you mean we can't change it now." Mike asked. Rachel sighed and looked at Puck who had become a statue staring her down with an icy glare. Noah took Rachel's hand off his mouth. "She doesn't want us to do anything about tonight." Puck told them.
"WHAT." Everyone else in the room yelled.
Tina took Rachel by the shoulders "Rachel you can't be serious, you want to pretend Finn never left you abandoned in a tree lot!"
"Nope, no, no way, not gonna happen I refuse, this time I'm doing something." Mike said
"I don't care if I don't go to school there anymore, I'm finding someway in and I'm kicking Finn's ass!" Matt said
Rachel waited patiently until they're yelling became quiet grumbles. "Guys thank you." Rachel said, "I'm touched that you all care about me so much. But we are still forgetting that I also hurt Finn." Rachel looked down sadly "I let my emotions take over and wasn't thinking straight. He did deserve something because he did lie but what I did was too much. No I did not deserve to get left at a tree lot and I still wish Finn hadn't broken up with me." She looked up at everyone "I still love him (Puck flinched at that but Rachel missed it) and right now I wish it didn't reduce me to this poor simpering mess." She took a big breath "so I'm not going to throw myself at Finn or turn everyone against him." Tears started to form in her eyes "I'm going to give him some space and see what happens." Rachel took another deep breath.
Tina walked over and squeezed Rachel's shoulder "That's actually very mature." Rachel nodded "I figure the less diva walk outs the better." Everyone laughed slightly. Rachel sniffed trying to make her tears go away. "Noah if you don't mind it's to late to go home so I'll just stay in the guest room if it's not to much trouble?"
Puck was still in his semi hostile pose but he sighed and relaxed "Sure Rach, just call your dad's." Rachel nodded and left the room to call.
Tina turned around "Okay how are we going to mess with Finn without Rachel knowing?" The guys looked surprised. "What?" Tina asked "Rachel's my friend now and you heard her. She's sorry, she knows what she did was wrong, she's doing everything right and what Finn did was way overstepping the line, she's my friend and I want to help, her how are we going to do it?"
The boys looked around exchanging glances; Tina rolled her eyes and turned to Puck "Are you telling me you don't have a plan?" Puck actually chuckled at that "Tina you are speaking my language." He then turned to Sam and Artie (he already knew Mike and Matt would help) "Are you two in or do you have to leave?"
Artie looked as if he was contemplating it "I always try to be fair so I want to see what Finn does tomorrow, but if he does anything else to make it worse then I want to help Rachel. So I guess I'm in."
Puck nodded and turned to Sam who let out a big sigh "She does seem genuinely sorry but I'm with Quinn and she won't want anything to do with this so I'll see what I can do."
"Fair enough" Puck looked at Tina "We will tell you later, go distract Rachel."
Tina nodded "If Kurt finds out about this he'll want to help."
"Wait for tomorrow."
Tina nodded again and left the room. Puck looked at the guys in the room and what some would call and evil grin spread on his face.
"Okay here's the plan…"
