I suppose I should have expected the hug but it really took me off guard and by the time I was unshocked enough to hug back she had already stepped back. "Uh, I missed you too. You're like, way nicer than salmon. I mean... you talk back and stuff so of course you're nicer. Uh, ready to go bowling?" Well that had been a huge word fail.
"Yeah sorry this is so late and stuff. I mean, I even got you a birthday present! Hopefully that makes up for it. And we can totally get pizza again. I know how much you liked it last time," I said, grinning at her before I walked around to get into my car. "It's unlocked," I called over the roof, then slid in.
"This is going to be great," I said with a decisive nod then started driving to the bowling alley. It wasn't a long drive really. I tapped along on my steering wheel as we waited a stop light. "So do you think you'll get another strike?" I remembered last time when that happened and how she had hugged me. I wouldn't really mind if that happened again since she smelled really nice right now and stuff.
Rachel talked a lot but sometimes it was just nice to hear a voice that wasn't my mom's so it was cool. "Yeah I think Glee is going to be good. I mean, it's awesome that we get another year and stuff. I wonder if that was just like a trick Mr. Schue was playing on us," I said, my eyebrows scrunching together. "Because that wouldn't have been very nice."
I just nodded because Rachel was right. I mean, when we sang him that song I practically called him like my dad. And dads didn't do that kind of stuff to their kids. "Yeah, it will be nice to have something to do again. Except I think football practices are supposed to start soon. Like pre-season training is going to make us not suck," I said, rolling my eyes then turned into the bowling alley parking lot. "At least I got better at something this past year." I think I sort of had a stupid grin on my face but it was weird how happy Glee made me sometimes.
I led us inside and waited until we both had our shoes before grinning at her. "That would be nice. I don't know what I could cheer you on in... do you play sports?" It was weird thinking about how Rachel and I had almost known each other a year but we didn't really know each other.
The look on Rachel's face was pretty priceless and I couldn't help but laugh. I remembered her saying something last time about thinking there were diseases in the ball holes, so who knew what she thought about the shoes. I finished getting on my own shoes then walked over to Rachel and patted her on the back sort of tentatively. I wasn't sure where the touching boundry was but it wasn't like I was trying to touch her boobs or anything. And I couldn't help but think about them ever since Tina asked me what they were like. Ugh.
"Um yeah. Sure, I'll teach you football. Then you'll know what's going on when you come to my games!" I said, nodding. "Let's go find you the pink ball though for now."
I picked out a ball for myself and then led us back to our lane. "Well football isn't too confusing. And you're like, really smart. I'm sure you'll pick it up in no time. The most confusing stuff is like the offside rules and all the technical little fouls that happen." I shrugged and moved my ball from hand to hand.
"So do you want to go first?" I gestured towards the lane.
