A Collection of Glee Oneshots 5

Job Offer (Shelby/Rachel/Quinn/Puck)

"What did you do?" Quinn questioned Puck as she and Rachel approached his locker.

"Nothing." Puck replied.

Quinn raised her eyebrow.

"Nothing." Puck repeated. "Why?"

"Mr. Schue asked the three of us to meet him in his office before glee club." Rachel stated.

"And obviously Rachel and I didn't do anything." Quinn added.

"It's probably nothing." Puck shrugged as he closed his locker. "Let's just go."

Rachel walked away, and Quinn looked at Puck before sighing and following her. Puck followed Quinn.

The trio headed to Mr. Schue's office in silence. Puck didn't know what was going on, but he could tell that both Rachel and Quinn were nervous.

When they reached the office, Puck held the door, and Rachel led him and Quinn inside.

"You wanted to see us?"

"Hey, guys." Mr. Schue said. "Why don't you sit so we can talk?"

Quinn and Rachel sat down in the empty chairs across from Mr. Schue, and Puck stood behind them close to the door.

"Do you remember Sugar Motta?" Mr. Schue began.

"That hot girl who couldn't sing?" Puck asked.

Quinn and Rachel rolled their eyes while Mr. Schue made a face.

"Since she didn't make the New Directions, Sugar's father is funding a second glee club at McKinley." Mr. Schue continued.

"Well, it's not like we have to worry." Rachel stated. "We're not exactly turning people away."

"Yeah, no one's gonna join a glee club that has one member anyway." Quinn agreed. "Especially since she can't even sing."

"You can't have a glee club without a coach either, and Mr. Schue can't do both." Rachel added. "It would be a conflict of interest."

"Right." Mr. Schue nodded, glancing at the door and waving someone in. "Which is what I wanted to talk about."

"Hi, guys."

The teenagers turned to the door, furrowing their eyebrows and frowning at the sight of Shelby.

"Shelby was offered the job." Mr. Schue informed the trio as Shelby walked past Puck and joined his side of the room. "I thought the three of you should know before the others."

"What?" Rachel asked.

"Rachel, I'd like to get to know you." Shelby told Rachel.

"You can't." Rachel shook her head. "You tried that two years ago when you had Jesse use me, and then you changed your mind, remember?"

"Rachel." Shelby frowned.

"Did you take the job?" Puck questioned Shelby.

"Not officially." Shelby said.

"What does that mean?" Puck wondered. "For us?"

"I'd like to take it." Shelby clarified. "I thought I could get to know Rachel, and I want Beth to get to know you and Quinn."

Puck looked at Quinn.

"I won't take it if the three of you aren't comfortable with it." Shelby continued, smiling slightly. "But I'd really, really like to."

"I need to think about it." Rachel decided. "And I think they should think about it, too."

"I have until the end of the week to formally accept." Shelby responded. "Take some time."

"I have to go." Rachel muttered as she got up and left the room.

Puck took Rachel's seat and looked at Shelby. "If you take the job, we get to see Beth?"

"There'll be rules and conditions to that, but yes." Shelby answered.

"Like what?" Puck asked.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves." Shelby shook her head as she looked at Quinn.

"I-I should go, too." Quinn stuttered as she got up. "There's something I have to do before glee club."

"See you at glee club, Mr. Schue." Puck said, getting up and following Quinn out. "Quinn, wait."

Quinn ignored Puck as she walked down the hall.

"Quinn." Puck repeated. "Quinn. Q."

"What?!" Quinn snapped, turning to face Puck.

"We should talk about what Shelby said." Puck suggested. "We could get to see Beth."

Quinn shook her head. "That comes with conditions. Shelby said it herself."

"So we'll just do whatever she wants." Puck said.

"I'm not changing myself or my behavior to see my own child." Quinn told Puck. "Not for Shelby."

"You wouldn't be doing it for Shelby, you'd be doing it for Beth." Puck pointed out.

"No." Quinn said as she turned around and continued walking.

"So that's it?" Puck questioned Quinn as he followed her. "You don't wanna be a part of her life?"

Quinn ignored Puck.

"Come on." Puck muttered, grabbing Quinn's arm. "Let's tell Shelby we're okay with her taking the job. Besides, you and I both know that she's really only asking Rachel."

Quinn bit her lip.

"Come on, Quinn." Puck repeated.

"If I say yes, you have to promise you'll help me get her back." Quinn said softly.

Puck looked at her. "You wanna get her back?"

Quinn nodded slowly.

"I'll help you." Puck decided. "Let's go talk to Rachel."
