Chapter 1

Brittany’s POV

I was cleaning some tables at the restaurant where I work when I someone coming in. when I looked up I saw a Latina with deep brown eyes and wavy, brown hair. I think I know her; she looks like a popular cheerleader from my school, Santana Lopez. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. I saw her staring back at me so I quickly looked down. She slowly made her way to a table in the corner. When she sat down I walked towards her.

“Hi, I’m Brittany! You’re Santana right?” I asked and smiled. She slowly nodded and looked up. “Do you want anything to eat or drink?” I asked her.

“Hi, yeah that’s me. I’ll just have a glass of water, please.” She answered softly, with a shaky voice. I wanted to walk away but I just couldn’t.

“Sorry if it’s none of my business but, are you okay? You look like you’ve been crying.” I asked her a little concerned.

“I’m fine, it’s just… my girlfriend Dani just broke up with me and, you know, it’s just kind of hard.” She explained and a tear ran down her cheek.

“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry.” I said softly. She put her head in her hands and sobbed softly.

“I’m sorry.” She whispered and kept crying.

“It’s okay.” I said and looked at her. “Do you want me to leave?” I asked softly. She shook her head and scooted over a bit. I sat down next to her and put an arm around her shoulder. She turned and laid her head on my shoulder.

“I’m such a bitch, aren’t I? I mean, you obviously know me as the cheerleader.” She said while sitting up. “That’s probably why she broke up with me.” She added shaky.

“No, you’re not a bitch! I mean, well… to the Glee Club you are… which, by the way, I am a member of.” I chuckled softly. “But apart from that you’re just a typical popular girl.” I added simply. She looked at me with a blank expression on her face.

“You’re in Glee Club?” She asked softly and then she looked like she remembered me. “You’re the hot dancer! Oh my God, I am such a bitch to you all the time!” she added.

“Um… well yeah I guess. Mike and me are the only real dancers there so yeah…” I said and looked down.

“Oh God, I am so sorry for the slushies! That is not something I like to do.” She said and brought her hand up to her forehead.

“Oh no, it’s fine, you only slushied me once. I usually get slushied way more. It’s alright ‘cause this bullying only makes you stronger I guess. And, by the way, the jocks are way worse than you are.” I said and then realized that it sounded pretty stupid. “I mean… not that y-you’re bad or anything… um…” I started stuttering and she just grinned. “What?”

“You’re cute.” She said and laughed softly. “I promise not to slushie you again!” She suddenly said. I looked at her surprised.

“Seriously? What about the jocks? Won’t they make you do it?” I asked curiously.

“No, I don’t think so.” She said and smiled at me.

“Oh right! I should get you that glass of water!” I suddenly said and quickly stood up. “I’ll be right back.” I said and walked away. When I came back I saw two jocks sitting with her. “Shit.” I muttered under my breath and walked towards them. “Here you go.” I said and put the glass down in front of Santana.

“Thanks.” She said and smiled at me.

“Hey look it’s the Glee girl!” One of the guys said and nudged the other one.

“Yeah! You going to take our order or what, geek?” The other one said and grinned.

“Fine, what do you guys want?” I said trying to sound as nice as possible.

“We’ll both have a coke.” The guy sitting on the left said. I nodded and walked away. I brought the guys their coke and when I was about to walk away one of them stuck his foot out so I fell to the floor. I quickly got up to see them both laughing.

“Would you guys grow up!” Santana said and glared at them. She gave me an apologetic look and I walked away. When I reached the counter and turned around I saw that Santana followed me. “I’m sorry-“ She started but I cut her off.

“Honey, stop, I’m used to way worse.” I said and smiled at her. She smiled back and sighed. “What’s up?” I asked and looked at her.

“Look, I love to sing and dance and I secretly think Glee Club is kinda cool. So… do you think there’s a spot for me there?” She asked and smiled. I looked at her surprised.

“Are you serious?” I asked and she nodded. “Yes! I mean… um, of course, there’s place for everyone!” I added and grinned.

“Great! Meet me tomorrow at the Spanish classroom?” She asked and smiled. I nodded when suddenly the two guys came up behind her.

“What are you two talking about?” One asked. I shrugged and said; “Nothing that you’d care about.” I eyed Santana who was looking at me too. Suddenly both of the guys pulled their arms away from their backs and threw two slushies all over me. I gasped and immediately closed my eyes. Fuck! This is going to burn.

“Oh my gosh guys!” Santana gasped but they just laughed while I tried getting this stuff away from my eyes. When I eventually opened my eyes I saw the guys dragging Santana out of the restaurant while she kept glancing at me. I. Hate. Jocks.
