eight ; taking one for the team

Rosy was at her locker, staring at the packet of sheet music that Mr. Schue had given them for their assignment this week. He had asked the kids to try and find a song that they could mash-up with the song Bust A Move. The challenge seemed impossible, but Rosy wasn't one to give up and was humming the beginning of the song when someone tapped her shoulder and she jumped, nearly hitting her head on her locker door.

"Gah!" Rosy yelled out and she heard Puck laugh as he moved from his place behind her to lean against the locker next to hers.

"Chill, Moons, I just tapped you on the shoulder." Puck said, grinning at her, and she rolled her eyes at him.

"What do you want?" Rosy asked, looking down at the sheet music again.

"I need your help with something." Puck said and Rosy looked up at him, an eyebrow raised. She knew that it was only a matter of time before Puck roped her into one of his schemes that usually ended with him in detention, but she had been hoping he'd wait a little longer before involving her.

"What is it?" She asked warily, preparing herself for the worst.

"Chill, I just need your advice on a girl." Puck said and Rosy gasped, a wide smile on her face. She hadn't brought up Quinn since their little argument in the hallway last week, but she was glad that he was finally opening up to her.

"Oh, okay, hit me."

"Okay, so I was in Rachel's room making out with her yesterday-" Puck began and Rosy nearly dropped her sheet music in surprise.

"Wait, what?! You were making out with Rachel?!" Rosy yelled, causing a few people walking by to stare at them and Puck winced.

"Scream it louder, would you? I don't think the people in the next state heard you quite clearly." Puck said and Rosy rolled her eyes.

"Sorry, but you and Rachel making out?" Rosy asked, tucking the sheet music into her bag and shutting her locker door as the pair began to walk down the hallway together.

"Yeah because basically my mom was telling me that I should find a nice Jewish girl to date and then I had this dream-"

"Woah, spare me the details please."

"No, it wasn't like that, it was like a message from God telling me to get into Rachel's pants." Puck explained and Rosy nodded sarcastically.

"Oh, of course, because that makes so much sense." She said, but Puck decided to ignore her.

"So anyways, we're making out, right?" Puck continued and Rosy nodded. "But then she stops and says that she can't give herself to someone who isn't brave enough to sing a solo for Glee Club." Puck said and Rosy gasped.

"She questioned your badassness?"

"That's what I said!" Puck said and Rosy set her hand on his arm to calm him down.

"Okay, well what do you need my help for?" Rosy asked.

"I need to sing the perfect song for my solo, so I wanted to know if you could help me pick one." Puck explained and she smiled at him.

"I'd love to. Okay, um...well, you're mainly doing this because you're both Jewish, right?" Rosy asked and Puck nodded. "I have the perfect song in mind, one of the most popular songs ever sung by a Jewish artist...Sweet Caroline."

"Oh, I love that song!" Puck said, grinning.

"I know, me too!" Rosy said, bouncing up and down. "Oh, also, one last thing, sorry it just slipped my mind," Rosy said, before grabbing the front of his shirt and pushing him against a nearby locker. "If you hurt her, I'll rip you to shreds."
