"Sup Berry," Noah greeted me while walking past me in the hallway, the whole time smirking. After just dealing with his 'girlfriend' I couldn't bring it in me to do anything other than roll my eyes and keep walking.

For a moment I thought he didn't notice and gave a silent prayer of thanks, but then I saw his head swivel my direction out of the corner of my eye. Great, I thought bitterly and ducked into the bathroom. I just didn't even want to bother with him right now, it'd be too annoying. I decided to wait in there until the warning bell rang for class. When it did I rushed through the halls making it to Geometry just in time.

Looking around the class I realized that someone finally decided to show up for class. I had no doubts that the only reason for this was because he was annoyed I didn't acknowledge him in the hallway. After Finn broke up with me Noah and I had formed a friendship. I might even go as far as calling him my best friend but that doesn't take away from the fact that he's an idiot and I'm currently annoyed with him.

When class was dismissed to head to lunch, I quickly gathered my stuff and got out of class first. I was almost to my locker when a hand shot out of nowhere and pulled me in the choir room, for the second time today.

"What the hell Rachel?" Of course it was Noah. Who else would it be?

"Do you need something, Puck?" I asked impatiently. I didn't want to be mad at him, that was the whole point of the avoidance.

"Puck? Damn, what'd I do to piss you off this time?" I could tell he was being sarcastic and it only served to annoy me further.

"Seeing as you obviously have nothing to tell or ask me, I'll be leaving," I told him, heading towards the door.

"Oh no, you don't," he hurried to block the door. "You're not leaving until you tell me why you're avoiding me."

I huffed. "It doesn't matter Puck."

"Of course it does. We're friends, you can tell me," he sounded so sincere but it felt so fake to me in that moment.

"Huh. Weren't you and Santana friends? Cause you were being an amazing friend when you let her get her ass beat by Lauren. Knowing that, I'm not sure I want to be your friend," I told him, glaring the whole time and then trying to get around him.

"Since when do you care about Satan?"

"I may not like her but I would never wish her physical harm, you know that, and I'm appalled that you would just stand there while she was getting hurt, even if she did start it," I paused, letting my glare fall. "You've changed and I don't know if I like who I'm seeing."

"The fuck does that mean?" he asked me angrily. He obviously didn't notice at all.

"It means everything I liked about you before has completely left it seems."

"Like what?"

"Tell me Puck, was anyone in Queen Jewish? Cause last time I checked, it was no. Being Jewish and singing songs by Jewish artists was something you were always so proud of, now what? You dropped that for Lauren, some girl? Some girl that doesn't even treat you well? Even Santana and Quinn appreciated you at times but all Lauren seems to do is use you for food and money, the whole time treating you like dirt," I paused to take a breathe, while Noah was avoiding eye contact. "Quinn was the mother of your child and you let her treat you bad, which isn't needed at all, but you never encouraged it, unlike what you seem to be doing now."

"So you're mad because I sang a song and cause I'm trying to be nice to some chick?" he asked me with attitude. He knew this wasn't what this was about, he was choosing to act dumb.

"No, Noah," I tell him, sounding like I'm talking to a small child. "I'm mad because you are changing yourself for the worse and you don't care. You could have any girl in this school and you choose the one that is horrible for you."

"Well what do you want me to do Rachel?" he shouted, outstretching his arms and walking around me. "I've tried going after the easy girl who dumped me for my credit score. I go after the catholic chick and get her pregnant, only to have her drop me too. I go after you, the school freak, no offense, and you dump me for my best friend. What do you want from me Rach?" I walk up to him slowly, hoping he wouldn't yell again. I didn't want him to get mad, that's the last thing I wanted.

"Noah, it's not about what I want. Do you truly want Lauren? Do you feel that you are meant to be with her right now? Cause if you do, then by all means, ignore what I'm saying, leave this room and go be with her," I gently ordered him. He looked like he wanted to, like he would love be able to do that, but I could see he couldn't. He knew the truth.

I sighed and enveloped him in my arms, giving him a well needed hug. "Noah, I don't like seeing someone hurt you, you're my best friend, but I don't like seeing you take it even more. You're better than that," I whispered in his ear after he wrapped his arms around me.

I let go of him, kissed his cheek and left the room without another word.

I know! How could I not get them together? But I didn't want to change the storyline and this was the only way! I've been thinking about doing a spin-off from this so tell me what you think.

I have a new poll on my profile for my story Fuck No...Well Maybe so check that out.
