Something…

For my 10 quotes 'Puck' claim. Quote used: "I can't get her out of my mind." - "How could you - she's the first dame who hasn't fallen for your line since you were four." Singin' in the Rain (1952) This is my first GLEE piece so be gentle.

'Something In The Way She Moves, Atracks Me Like No Other Lover'

-The Beatles

He wished that having aspirin in his locker wasn't contraband. Not that it hadn't stopped him before as he entered the locker rooms after the latest Glee Club practice with a pounding sensation in his head.

It wasn't that he didn't like Glee club, hell it was the young jocks secret shame, there was just…well something about the club that wanted to make him scream.

"What's wrong man," his best friend, Finn said as he followed him into the locker room and sat down next to him on a bench.

Letting out a brief laugh he simply grinned. He wasn't about to spill his deepest darkest secrets to the other man. Secrets like the fact that Quinn was actually carrying his child or about the fact that he kind of thought a certain someone else was kind of cute.

"Nothing," Puck said pausing knowing that his exterior demeanor was telling his bro otherwise.

"It sure doesn't seem like nothing," Finn replied looking over to his friend trying to read his mind even though he himself was full of massive internal conflicts at the moment.

Letting out another sigh he thought back to the practice that had ended a few minutes ago.

Rachel was having another one of her Diva meltdowns and Mr. Schuster was trying to talk her down with little success.

'Man that Rachel was annoying,' he thought, 'though there was something about her…something he couldn't quite put his finger on.'

"Was it Glee practice man," Finn said, "because Mr. S is a pussycat compared to coach you know."

Puck nodded.

He knew this. He really liked the young Spanish teacher who also served as Glee club advisor.

"So were going to play 20 questions now Finn, ok yes it's about Glee no it's not about Mr. S."

Finn rolled his eyes thinking of the other members of the club.

"Is it cause of Santana, of Quinn, of someone."

Thinking of his ex and his baby mama he shook his head. It was someone just not those two someone's.

Flashing back to the practice earlier he pictured Rachel in her cute little sweater set walking over to him and placing an icy hand on his shoulder while staring down Finn and Mr. S.

"Where's your dedication," she had squealed, "come on Finn if you won't do this duet Puck will do it won't you…"

The young man thought about how he was about to respond when Finn spoke up agreeing to sing the song that was being assigned to them.

'Saved by the bestie' Puck had thought to himself in that moment only now he wished he had been forced into singing that duet with Rachel.

'If only,' he thought now back in present time as Finn was boring a hole into him with his eyes.

"Rachel all right," Puck suddenly blurted out causing Finn to blink.

"Rachel? Like Glee Rachel?"

"One and the same."

Finn had a deer in headlights look as he pensively scratched his cheek.

Sure he could see it though a part of him didn't want to.

Puck and Rachel, Rachel and Puck… sure it made sense, opposite attraction and all that jazz.

"I can't get her out of my mind," Puck said after a brief and awkward silence.

"How could you? She's the first dame who hasn't fallen for your line since you were four."

Puck couldn't help but chuckle. This was definitely true. He was a notorious player who could probably have the pick of any girl at McKinley High… hell he probably could of even had his pick of any single member of the female staff if he played his cards right. And yet there was something about the way that Rachel would never fall pray to his charms that intrigued him so.

His head was truly spinning in that moment and he was beginning to wonder if it was truly a migraine after all of if the something he was feeling was in fact love. A love for a girl that would never be his.
