Once Upon A December ∆ Santana + Brittany

Pilot

December Sauveterre was a Genius. The sixteen year old had an IQ of 157, three points higher than his father who was also known for his genius. He was a straight A student, having a hundred in every class and even earning extra credit for tutoring other students. The teachers loved him for his work ethic and helpfulness. December was smarter than his teachers and was basically a TA and even graded some of the work.

That was part of how he gained his rank in the school. Many students paid him to do their work for them, tutor them, or even change their answers as he graded them and give them atleast a B-. And by most people, I mean the jocks, cheerleaders, and students who struggled so much teachers practically forced them December's way. That was his life, making bank off of others stupidity or laziness. It was how he managed being himself at a school like McKinley without being on the football team or cheer squad, how he managed to not get slushied or pushed around as the most they would do was insult him. No could risk failing or risk the wrath of Santana Lopez...

Yeah, that's right Santana Lopez was and will forever be December's best friend. The two met during 6th grade and things were never the same. That's when their relationship started, the type where your bestfriend is technically also your partner but neither see it that way. The type where they are each other's first everything and ain't ashamed about it. Santana was basically December's protector and December's was Santana's. That's how the two worked and everyone knew it so no one even thought about messing with the boy, not that there was any reason to but this was McKinley and anyone was a target.

Rolling to school with his heelys, December stopped by the dumpster as he saw his childhood friend crawling out of the trash,"What the hell happened to you?" he questioned Kurt, his french accent strong

"Puck and his goonies happened," Kurt said distastefully, rolling his eyes as he picked up his books and jacket,"I'm lucky I don't smell like garbage and Finn took off my jacket before they threw me" He spoke annoyed, after smelling his clothes

"Yeah you are," December agreed with him, nodding his head and fluffing out the boys hair,"Not even you could rock that," He teased, successfully earning a smile from his friend

"No I couldn't," Kurt agreed with him, giving him a thankful look,"Come on, we're gonna be late," He ordered his best friend, grabbing his hand and running to class as the first bell rang

*********

December sat in his first period, Spanish, bored out of his mind as he was already fluent in the language and Mr. Shue was a terrible teacher. He glanced to his left and noticed Finn who seemed to have a very hard time repeating the words and quickly wrote them down with the pronunciation, passing it to Finn with a small smile.

Finn turned to him with furrowed eyebrows, taking the sheet into his hands and giving December a big smile,"Thanks," He whispered to him

"No problem," December whispered back, and focused back on the class

"Do you think you could tutor me?" Finn asked the french teen,"Like Spanish and maybe english?" He quite shamefully, noticing Decembers blank look

"You need to be tutored for a language you already know?" the smaller boy asked, smirking slightly taking pleasure in Finn's embarrassment

"I-I mean-" Finn stuttered, not really knowing what to say

"I'm kidding," December chuckled at the boy,"It'll be about twenty a week if you do two days and fifty for anything more," He told him seriously, tilting his head daring Finn to not pay up

"I-I don't have any money," Finn stuttered again, sad that he would be stuck struggling in his classes,

"You know what," December started, thinking back on what Kurt told him that morning,"I'll let you do it for free because I believe you're a good person and not a dick like all the other brainless football jocks," He told him sincerely, going through his notebook and pulling out the notes for math,"Here, you'll need all the help you can get but let's be clear," He paused, gripping Finn's hand tightly as he reached for the papers,"You change up on me and do anything to hurt Kurt, our deal is out and you pay me for every session you had the luxury of getting for free. Got it?" He finished, earning a hastily nod,"Good,"
