It wasn't meant to be

Before the mess

(A/N:This is all back in freshmen year and before the two dated, small changes was made because I wanted more detail to Quinn's change and Santana crush for Lucy )

Lucy wasn't the prettiest, but her personality was amazing. She was smart and just all around happy. She also crazy enough had a boyfriend who didn't judge her. Noah was sweet he had a bad boy charm but was sweet.

The two broke up because Lucy was too good and puck wanted to be a bad boy and fuck around and be with the skanks. He enjoyed fucking shit up and getting locked up.

Lucy POV

"Hey look at the pig, where's your boyfriend to protect you?" Some random boy yelled in my face slapping the books out my hand.

"We we broke up..." I says softly looking down...I knew I wasn't good enough for Noah but I never thought he'd actually leave me... "so that means I can do this!" He yells about to slap me but before does he gets fist to the face.

"What's you're problem? Are you really trying to bully her?" A hear a raspy voice.

"And you are?" The boy growled.

"Santana fuckin Lopez but you're about to meet snixx if you don't leave her alone!" The girl shouted and I can see the boy tremble in fear and run off.

I go to reach my book and we happen to touch hands and I feel myself blush. "I got it," she says handing me my books.

"You didn't have to do that-"

"Yes I did no one should mess with such a pretty girl like you?"

"Pretty? Uhmm I think you should be wearing my glasses," I laugh nervously and she just stares at me confused.

"Do you not think you're pretty?" She ask and I swallow not wanting to admit to it.

"Your gorgeous!" She shouts, "don't let anyone tell you otherwise!" She says hugging me. "I gotta head to class I'll see you around," she says running off.

(Sophomore year)
Santana pov
I walked through the school in the Cheerios uniform proud I already gained a bitch rep and I plan on keeping it.

"Hey loser!" I stop in my tracks and see what was going on. It was David talking no other then Lucy. I stop and watch, I see her look at me and smile. I know what she wants me to do and of course I stop David.

"Do you not learn?" I saw stepping between the two.

"You're still protecting this nerd, Santana you HBIC you cant keep doing that you're rep will go down," when he says that I think about it. I think Lucy noticed my hesitation. "Just go Santana, I see your rep matters more I don't wanna be any trouble,"

Those word broke me. I didn't even think about her feelings I was too blonde by popularity and was selfish... I moved out and way and kept walking.

I think she wasn't expecting me to actually move because I turn to look back and see hurt in her eyes.

Quinn pov

End of Junior year I decided to change...puck said it would fix my rep and keep bullies away...so I did senior year was it. Nobody fucked with me and me and pick went on an on and off relationship beginning of the year until he decided to leave for some dumb club.

But I didn't care because now I didn't need anyone. I was no longer bullied and everyone was scared of the skank leader.

My family kicked me out so I stayed with Tina, Tina was the good one out the groups she never did any drugs or anything. I don't even think she really likes being in the group to begin with.

My mindset was always...I don't need no one until I caught a girl catch my eye...again.

Santana Lopez. She has no idea who I was...so I knew my chances to talk to her was there, she was beautiful. I always liked Santana from when she first helped me.

Rep changed her like how it changed me but we both refuse to see it.

The longer me and Santana spent time together I saw the old Santana and she was slowly going back to her old self, the one I met 9th grade but I didn't change...I didn't change and I refused to belive I needed too.

Santana changed to be her good protective self while I just reached farther from being the person she remembered and now all I feel it guilt and regret...I almost lost her and now I really have.
