The Boys of My Life

(A/N: Some things and characters may be altered. I do not own Glee, nor do I own the fictional works Kissing Booth and To All The Boys I've loved before; both which inspired this fanfic)

Santana's pov

My name is Santana Lopez, and I am a total tomboy. But with my older sister Rachel being a total girly girl and our youngest sister Alex a mix; it serves us well. Our Dad Chris is a doctor; and Rachel is going to go to college at NYADA soon; following in the footsteps of our late mother.

The only girly cliche that I fell victim to was the whole sappy love thing. Movies, novels, songs... after all, I was part of the school's Glee club. But with my behavior towards love; I often found myself falling for those who were unattainable. I was very old fashioned when it came to the matter of love, and fantasized of falling in love on a field, the nature all around me and my beloved.

Whenever I had a crush, I did not want the boy to know, or at least not right away. Being the romantic that I am, I came up with a perfect and romantic solution. I would pen my feelings down on a piece of paper, a love letter displaying my feelings; then seal it inside an envelope and stash it in my secret box where no one could find my letters. If I fell out of love with the subject of the letter, I would shred it. My latest letter, penned down just yesterday after harboring these feelings for awhile, was all about school quarterback Finn Hudson. We knew each other welll and were clos due to the history our families sharede;I was the girl next door... it was all too perfect... Except for the detail that he is Rachel's boyfriend. Yep, unattainable.

But, there are more problems with me liking Finn Hudson, and that is my best friend; captain of the Dalton Academy Warblers, our rival Glee club. Sebastian Smythe. He had always felt insecure with Finn getting everything in life, one-upping him on many occasions, yet not to be mean. Bas and I are practically inseparable, we were only doomed to study in different schools. Our mom's were best friends since forever; and we were even born on the same day and time. Can't get much closer than that. Karaoke machines are one of our go-to's for fun. Anyway, back to the Finn- Sebastian dilemma. Bas and I had developed a set of rules for our friendship; which included relatives being off- limits. Though I still felt pretty guilty about why I had written it; I felt a little lighter as I sealed and put away the latest letter.

As soon as I put the box away, I heard my Dad call for dinner, and I realized the Hudson- Smythe's were downstairs too. Well, to be exact; it's Smythe- Hudson's. Bas's mom Selena; who, after becoming a widow, married Finn's dad, Richard. Aunt Selena is like a second mom to me. She was before my Mom passed, and is even more so now. When I got downstairs; my Dad was already talking to Richard and Auntie Sel, Finn was sitting on the couch, his arm around Rach: Alex was trying to get to the chocolate chip cookies and I held back a laugh seeing my best friend's feeble attempt to keep the pre-teen away from from the sugary goods. Sebastian looked up for a moment and saw me; breaking out into a grin

"Annie!" that's what he loves to call me and only he is allowed to. He conjured the nickname out of two sources. One, it was our favorite Michael Jackson song that we always sang together in vocal battle; and it also was a variant of my name. Apparently he took the Ana from Santana and came up with Annie. I grinned, hugging him as he let Alex roam free in order to return the gesture as I spoke happily "Landy!" that's the nickname I gave him as a kid, deriving from his middle name Landon. It took a while for it to grow on him; both name and nickname alike; but now he just playfully sticks his tongue out at me.

I greeted all the others in the living room, then fell back onto the couch in my usual spot next to Landy, aka Sebastian. Dinner was soon served, once the pizza finally arrived; and our dessert consisted of ice cream and chocolate chip cookies. Not long after dinner was over, we once again split up into the usual groups consisting of adults and teens, since Alex had homework to attend to, poor kid.

Once the adults were safely out of earshot, Rachel, Finn, Sebastian and I went outside to catch up and talk. What caught me completely off guard was Rachel's question "So, Santy... What are you gonna do about Kurt from Glee? You know, blond, New Directions member, your friend and classmate, who happens to have a painfully obvious crush on you to which you are painfully oblivious to?"

My mouth just dropped, and I fell silent. This could NOT be real.
