Falling for Santana Lopez

Spanish Partner

Tuesday:

"Today's a new day"

I told myself while getting up from bed. I️ got myself ready for school. I️ picked out a cute outfit and did my hair up in a bun. I️ put on a little bit of makeup. Then I ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, and waited for Sam.

Beep beep

He honked the horn. I️ grabbed my jacket and bag and got in the car. On the way to school he asked how my mom was.

"Umm well she's ahh good"

I️ didn't really want to tell him what was going on so I'll just say that.

"How's your parents?"

"For the most part their great, they really want to see you guys. Maybe we can arrange a day for all of us to get together"

"Ah sure"

'Oh god' I️ think you myself let's hope we really don't have to do that.
...

We get to school and I head to Mr. Schues class. Today I was the first person in class. Mr. Schue looked up as I️ walked in and smiled at me.

"Good morning Bella"

"Morning"

I sat down in my seat and went on instagram for a little bit. People started coming in and sitting down or socializing. Then the bell rang and Mr. Schue went to the front of the class, again no partner. He was about to start talking when someone walked in through the door.

"Santana, why are you late"

"I'm sorry Mr. Schue did I️ interrupt your class that started less then two seconds ago?"

I️ looked up front my paper to see a girl in front of the door wearing a cheerleader uniform, hair in a high pony, flawless skin, dark chocolate eyes, and a perfect sarcastic smile towards Mr. Schue.

Mr. Schue kindly rolled his eyes and told her to take a seat. She started to walk towards the table I️ was at. Wait was she my partner? She sat down in the seat next to me and crossed her legs and leaned back.

"Shoot, I'll be right back I️ forgot to make copies"

And with that he left the room. I leaned back in my chair and grabbed my phone when the girl next to me said something.

"So you're the new girl?"

I looked up from my phone and looked at her. Wow she was literally the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

"um yeah, I'm Bella"

She looked at me like she was trying to figure me out. I️ was kinda confused but it made me have butterflies in my stomach. But why? Why do I️ have butterflies?

"Well I'm Santana, I️ guess we are partners"

I just nodded with a smile

"Guess so"

She then picked up her phone and started texting someone. What I don't understand is why do i have butterflies right now? Why do I️ feel kinda nervous?
...

First period is over. Mr. Schue assigned us a project to do with a partner of our choice. The thing is that usually I️ would love that but since I️ don't know anybody I don't know what I'm going to do...I️ get me stuff and try to get out of the room so I️ can catch Sam before he goes to study hall. When all the sudden.

"Bella, Santana can I️ talk to you guys for a second?"

I walk over to Mr.Schue's desk and so does Santana.

"So Santana this is Sam's cousin Bella. I️ want you to partner up with her for the project. I know I said a partner of your choice but I think this will be a good partnership. And it will finally get you to do the projects fully, and it's good for Bella because she doesn't have to find somebody to work with because she's new"

"But Mr. Schue.."

"No 'buts' Santana it's going to be a good thing. Trust me"

I️ looked at Santana she looked annoyed with Mr. Schue.

"Mr. Schue I appreciate you trying to help me and all, but it's okay I'll find someone to work with on my own"

I️ could feel Santana's eyes on me. I️t made me kind of nervous. She then looked at mr. Schue and said.

"No, I'll do it."

This time when she said it she didn't sound annoyed.

"Alright then, I'll see you guys later"

We walked out the room together and I️ couldn't help but think that it's going to be really weird working together because she makes me feel really nervous.

"So where are you going?"

She asked, breaking the silence while walking down the hallway.

"The ah library. I️ have a free period. How about you?"

"Cheerleading practice, do you want to come? I️ can introduce you to coach Sylvester and a few of my friends"

I was a little shocked she asked me because everyone says she's a bitch and all that stuff. But she seems to be pretty nice.

"Sure, why not"

We walked into the gym to see all the cheerleaders warming up and Coach Sylvester with a megaphone yelling at them.

"Coach, this is Bella she's new here, and she's going to just watch today"

Coach Sylvester looked at me up and down with a some what deadly glare. I️ saw Santana's eyebrow raise and her head tilt.

"Okay Breadstick, you can watch today. But don't even think about talking during this practice!"

Santana took my arm and pulled me away and into the bleachers

"Did she just call me 'Breadstick'?"

"Yep, that's actually the nicest nickname she's probably ever given. She must like you."

"Do you have a nickname?"

I asked her with a small giggle. She nodded.

"Sanbags"

We both laughed a little. Then Santana went back to her practice. I️ sat and watched the whole thing. I️ couldn't help but watch Santana the whole time. She caught me staring a few times and smiled when she did. There is something about her...

Riinnngggg

My thoughts were interrupted by the bell. I️ stood up and walked down to the floor to greet Santana.

"Wow that's looked intense"

"I️t is"

Santana said to me with a  smile. Then we walked out of the gym. We had a little bit of side chat before we split to go to class.
...
I was now home and yet again nobody was here. It's literally like I'm living alone. Anyways today was alright. I️ guess you can say I️ made a new friend. A friend that makes me have the butterflies whenever I'm around her kind of friend. What the hell is going on with me?
