"BRITTANY" I turned around. "Yes coach Sylvester?"

"You're off the team, go change and drop your uniform by my office in 20 minutes"

"What? Why?" my voice sounded strange at first but then I realized that Santana had said the same thing at the exact same moment.

"Word got out you've been pretty busy lately, I don't want any of my Cheerios to be known for something like that. Do you think that parents will let their anorectic little brilliant gymnasts join my squad if they knew that one of my top Cheerios had sex with almost every boy in school?"

"But.." I started, Sue cut me off.

"No buts, get out of here, you are a disgrace to my Cheerios young miss Pierce, don't ever let me see you again."

I felt tears starting to form in my eyes as I turned around and started walking to the locker room. Santana tried to follow me but was stopped by Sue.

"Unless you want off too I suggest you stay here Lopez."

Santana nodded and watched me with a pained expression as I left.

...

I woke up and felt something move beside me. I could feel Santana hovering over me, stroking my cheek. I pretended to still be asleep. She played a little with my hair and I could feel her warm breath on my face. She pushed my hair away and I suddenly felt something cold on my neck. It was a necklace. I opened my eyes and looked at her. She blushed a little and laid back down next to me.

"What's that for?" I said as I played with the heart shaped cheerleader necklace.

"I dunno, I just wanted you to have it."

She grabbed my hand as we both lay on our backs, staring at the ceiling.

"Do you want me to quit?" she asked.

I shook my head.

"Sure?"

I nodded.

"Okay" she sighed, sounding relieved.

After a couple of minutes we both fell asleep, hands still clasped together.

...

6.17 pm.

"Hey San, wanna hang out?"

"Hey Britt! Want to, but can't. I have Cheerios practice in 10 minutes."

"How about after that?"

"Uhm, don't think my parents will let me go, Cheerios practice tomorrow morning again."

"Okay, well I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow then"

"Yeah guess so. I'm sorry Brit.. I really want to hang out you know."

"Don't worry about it."

"Okay, gotta go, bye!"

I sighed and hung up the phone. Things have been like this ever since I got kicked off the squad.

The phone rang again.

"Puck, whats up?"

"Brittany, how are things? Wanna hang out, go to BreadstiX, have a little party at my house afterwards?"

"Let me guess, you tried Santana already?"

"Yeah, she has practice. So, how about it?"

"Okay whatever.." anything is better than sitting at home right now.

"I'll pick you up in 10 minutes. Wear something hot."

"Always do."

I hung up the phone.

...

8.13 pm

"So when the guy told me to shut up, I kicked his ass so hard he flew all the way over to China."

I faked a laugh. Puck's 'though boy' stories are beyond boring. My phone rang. It was Santana but I didn't feel like talking to her. I pressed mute. Puck just continued talking, not aware of anything that happened around him. I looked around, it felt weird to be at BreadstiX without Santana. I never realized how boring this place actually was.

My phone buzzed. 1 new message from Santana. BRITT pick up now!

I sighed when I saw she called again.

"Yeah whats up?"

"Well hello to you too" she sounded tipsy.

"Whatsup" I said again, getting irritated because she had obviously been drinking, while she had no time to hangout with me.

"You need to get your ass over here Britt, one of the Cheerios decided to throw a little party and she totally forced all of us to come."

"Won't you get into trouble with your parents for that?"

"Totally but it's a good chance for me to hang out with you so I don't care."

"You can't expect me to come running to your little party like a puppy Santana."

"Come onnnn Britt, just come. We can slow dance all night like we used to."

I sighed, thinking about the last time we had a night like that. There's no way I could resist this invitation and Santana knew it.

"Okay, where's the party?"

"I'll text you the adress."

"Ok, I'm having dinner at BreadstiX with Puck right now so after we're finished I'll come."

"You do realize that Puck will kill you for not coming back to his place do you?" she laughed.

"I don't care, I'd rather be with you anyway."

"Awh, your such a cutie. See you in a short while, byee."

And with that she hung up.

Puck looked at me, he seemed a little pissed off.

"So no after party huh?" he said.

"Better, you're driving me to a Cheerios party where you will definitely hook up with someone else so stop whining and eat your dinner so we can get going soon."

The cocky smile had returned on his face.

...

8.43 pm

We were walking to Puck's car when I suddenly realized I left my phone inside.

"Shit, forgot my phone, wait here."

Puck sighed but took the opportunity to light a cigarette.

I entered BreadstiX again and walked to the table where Puck and I had been sitting. Thank god, my phone was still there. Just as I was putting it back into my bag the ground began to shake. People began screaming and running around and things were suddenly falling down from the ceiling. I panicked and looked around. I started running in the direction of the exit but before I could reach it something big hit my head and everything went black.
