know your enemy

Sup fools. It's Graham Puckerman. Junior at Belmont State, Sigma Pi bro, hockey stud. Sports marketing major, but that shit doesn't matter, you know I'm going pro. Don't let yourself fall on my bad side. You've been warned. Unless you're hot, in that case fall on all my sides ;)

Marley: You can't make time for your favorite rose?

Graham: Since when are you my favorite? Or are you just getting cocky on me now?

Text: open

Marley: Hey. We need to hang out. I miss you.

Graham: Weird and unexpected, but I can dig it. But I don't really got a ton of free time

Lexi: A year ago, yanno.

Lexi: I do know the answer. :/

Lexi: I... don't know. For a long time, it was because I was afraid that one day this would be over? That I couldn't learn to depend on him so much because of that but now... he's obviously never going anywhere.

Graham: Huh? Oh. I didn't realize you still thought about that

Graham: Why the face?

Graham: I know it's hard to change your crap after so long, but I think you should give it a shot. What's the worst that could happen?

Quinn: Nat and Colin. :) But it's fine. We can reschedule.

Quinn: You're sweet. I know, I know. I'm just going to miss you. The apartment doesn't feel the same when you're gone.

Graham: Oh, I don't care about cancelling on them. I was worried I was making you look bad in front of some fancy new coworker

Graham: Fred's keeping you company, you're okay.

Graham: I just met all the little kids from the team I'm gonna help coach. They're enthusiastic, we might take the whole tournament

Text 💌 Puckerbray.

Quinn: Okay. Fair enough. I guess I'll tell them we can't do a dinner date tonight.

Quinn: P.S. Don't leave me. :(

Graham: Wait tell who?

Graham: I got the latest possible flight so I could still see you after you got home from work. But I gotta go eventually

Text 💌 Puckerbray.

Quinn: How do you feel about chicken fettuccine Alfredo tonight? :)

Graham: Usually I'd say it's perfect but it's a little too saucy for me to eat right before getting on a plane

Text ✉️ Lexi

Lexi: I shouldn't have done what I did.

Lexi: I know he would. He would drop everything for me--he did to take this trip home. I've been trying to drop the escorting service for him. Cause I know he hates it and I felt like it was time to switch to something more legal, but I can't get it off the ground if I'm traveling with him?

Lexi: But yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe I just need to sacrifice it all, but that means relying on him and you know how i feel about that.

Graham: What did you do?

Graham: Would you rather be with him or run your business? Like, what makes you happier? Cause I feel like you know the answer.

Graham: I know, I know. But eventually you're gonna have to stop thinking about it like it's a bad thing. If this is the dude you wanna spend the rest of your life with, you kinda gotta rely on him sometimes. What are you so afraid of?

Rachel: I've said it once, and I'll say it a thousand times. There's no denying that you embody those traits perfectly well - but you're still cute, and no amount of whining is going to change that.

Rachel: Of all the excuses you've given me to not join the Glee Club, that one has to be my favorite. Although - with our stage chemistry, I'm fairly certain that I would have been all yours, so that excuse is therefore invalid.

Rachel: ...Doesn't that much go without saying? Of course I wish I was in New York. I can't stand it here. What choice do I have, though? It's either this, or I move back to and work in Philadelphia until I've accumulated enough funds, and that would be absolutely humiliating.

Graham: I'm rocking angry eyebrows in your direction right now, Miss Berry.

Graham: If you ever wanna show your new kids what it's like to have serious chemistry with someone, let me come in for a class. We can run a scene or whatever

Graham: I didn't know if you were trying to make it seem like this was something you wanted. You could've asked for a loan. Or hit up the theater scene down here. Why teaching?

Text ✉️ Lexi

Lexi: It's different in my mind.

Lexi: You really think I should just go? I would have to put the party planning thing on hold.

Graham: What does that mean?

Graham: I think if the roles were reversed, he'd put whatever he had to on hold to spend time with you. That's your and his problem lately, right? He has to travel a lot. It's putting a big weight on you. There's a fix for it. And it sucks, being the one to have to sacrifice, but don't you think it'd be worth it?

Rachel: The next time you whine at me for mentioning how cute you are, I'll kindly direct you to this conversation because the idea of you blushing has to be the indisputable definition of the word.

Rachel: You know, I thought it might be - but it's actually been alright. Most of the students are performing arts majors and therefore already respect me for everything I did with the Glee Club and the drama department last year, and the one's that are taking the class to fulfill an elective credit don't know me well enough to treat me with any disrespect on that basis. It's no Broadway...but I'm enjoying myself, I suppose.

Graham: Studly, hot, handsome as hell. Never cute. I'm whining right now.

Graham: You mean the glee club you spent months trying to get me to join? I liked playing guitar and singing with you just me and you, that's why I couldn't sign up. I can't stand to share. Be honest, are you glad to be back or do you wish you could be up in NYC where we both know you belong

Lexi: Well, I've got kids on the brain. I can't help it.

Lexi: OH MY GOD GRAHAM, YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'VE SOLVED EVERYTHING FOR ME THANK THA LORD.

Graham: Why? We've been outta school for like a day

Graham: I'm just trying to help cause I don't like seeing you sad all the time. But if you're gonna be a dick I won't bother

Rachel: Oh, Graham... How I've missed you - I'd count the ways, but I'd be counting for a dozen lifetimes, and my schedule simply doesn't allow for that. It's good to see that you haven't changed.

Rachel: Oi. Well, luckily I have Gabriel in two of my classes - so I feel safe enough there, but I'm simply a sitting target as far as the others are concerned. Is there any chance I could hire you and your muscles as my periodical bodyguard?

Graham: That sounded super poetic. I'm impressed. I might even be blushing a little bit.

Graham: Isn't it weird teaching guys you went to school with? Bet it's harder to get the teacher respect or whatever. Course you can, you know I'm your guy. Whenever you need me.

georgefabray:

I know you said that, I just don’t get why you would rather drive. That’s all.

I like driving. I spent four years of college driving back and forth to and from NY. I’m comfortable driving for hours on end. It’s relaxing.

[hockeyxpuck-blog]

PRIVATE.

[hockeyxpuck-blog]

bsuwilde:

Yeah, well.

When the people of your school laugh you into dropping out then the plans sort of change, don’t they? I’d be surprised that you didn’t notice if I didn’t know that you have your head up yours and Quinn’s butts.

… Sorry. But you’re wrong. No taking over the world for me.

Damn, still as pissy as ever I see. I didn’t know I was saying something wrong here. Aren’t you known for tearing people to shreds with your words? I can’t believe you let people laugh you out of school.

I hope you find a good job for yourself, I guess.

Rachel: Well, my first week as an official educator has just about concluded, and I have yet to be pranked, which leaves me with a question that I feel only a true blue Puckerman would be fit to answer.

Rachel: Is it too early to let my guard down?

Graham: Can I just say 'Miss Berry' is totally hot. I mean the name/title, of course. But in general too.

Graham: It's way too early. That's my expert opinion. You've probably been tricked into a false sense of security, they're waiting for the perfect moment to strike

bsuwilde:

Don’t call him that. I don’t care what he does, I don’t want part of it.

No. School’s totes overrated and not the place for a girl like me.

Uh okay. Mr Wilde?

I thought you were like, the super ambitious gonna take over the world someday and end the patriarchy type. Education usually helps with that, but whatever floats your boat.

bsuscott:

Let’s hope people think that, so it can sell something.

I can’t really tell you anything about it, until it’s published. Sorry, dude.

Secrecy part of the whole writing thing? It’s cool. Just let me know when you can start sharing details so I can try and pimp it out for you.

As for the flying thing, the last time I was in a plane a baby cried an hour and a half straight and anytime I tried to fall asleep we hit turbulence. It’s hell.
