All Alone

Chapter Four

Brittany walked into school the next morning feeling awful. She had stayed up all night last night feeling horrible about what she'd said to Santana. She didn't know why she'd said those things it was just... Santana seemed to know exactly what buttons to push to get her all riled up and she did it for her own amusement. It was like Santana was a musician and Brittany was her piano.

Finally Brittany decided to just talk to Santana. To apologize for what she'd said, and explain how Santana was upsetting her. It always worked with other people.

So when she saw Santana at her locker she marched right up to the brunette and stated, "I'm not a piano."

Santana looked at her like she'd just said the stupidest thing in the world. Then she turned back to her locker, putting more books in. "Congrats."

Brittany didn't catch the mockingness in her tone and instead just continued. "I'm sorry I was so mean to you yesterday, but you were mean to me too so..."

The other girl laughed and turned to her. "When are you gonna get the picture blondie? I am not a nice person, and I don't like you. When a mean person doesn't like you, they're mean to you." 

The blonde sighed. "Look I don't know why you're so mad all the time but it's not okay. Someone as pretty as you shouldn't be so angry." She said honestly.

Santana stared at her in shock. "What?"

Brittany furrowed her brow. How could Santana not have heard her when she was standing right there? "I said someone so pretty shouldn't-"

"No I heard you."

"Oh." Brittany then blushed, finally understanding what she had told the other girl. "Well... I just really hope we can be friends because even though you've been mean to me it's not like the Plankton mean where you're always trying to steal the krabby patty formula, it's more like the Grinch mean where it's only because you're lonely and you just need your heart to grow."

Once Brittany had said all that she waited for Santana to reply but all the brunette did was stare at her like she was some sort of space alien.

"I'm not a space alien either." Brittany said earnestly.

Suddenly Santana's features broke out in a grin. "You're weird." Was all she said before shutting her locker and walking away.
