It was her second week at school and Brittany still couldn't find her way around McKinley High. It was so much bigger than her last school and the people weren't as friendly. Brittany had made the school cheerleading team, known as the cheerios, (weird name right?) and today was the first day of cheerio practice and she was surprisingly very nervous. Which is strange because Brittany's never nervous. Cheer Coach Sylvester is super intimidating, shooting insults everywhere and walking down the hallways like she owns them. Brittany had never been very good at academics or math or English or science or history… well she just wasn't very smart at all but now is her first impression on Coach Sylvester and the rest of the cheerleading to prove herself worthy of the spot on the team. and to have somewhere where she belonged.
Cheerio practice was nearly over and Brittany felt every muscle in her body aching and had the sudden urge to puke, something she'd obviously have to get used to.
The head cheerleader was a very pretty blond named Quinn, she came off sweet and innocent but really she was assertive and honestly kind of scared Brittany. Every time someone did something wrong she'd stop the whole routine and yell at them for at least ten minutes. After hours of cheering and jumping and going over the same routines over and over again cheerio practice finally ended at around five thirty. All the girls emptied out of the locker room and all was quiet so Brittany changed her clothes and packed up her bag and got ready to go, when she heard the sound of a shower running and the most beautiful singing voice she'd thought she'd ever heard in her life.
Brittany froze where she was and snuck over to where the showers were lined up. She didn't want to be creepy or anything but she had to see who this was. There was a pile of clothes next to the shower consisting of a cheerios uniform, some dirty socks and, some undergarments. She heard the singing stop and a shower curtain pulling back and she ducked behind the lockers. Brittany leaned over to see if she could get a glimpse of the girls face and just as she did she saw a gorgeous girl with dark skin and long black hair that reaches down to her back putting on a towel to cover herself up. After a couple of minutes of starring at the girl comb out her hair (which was highly entertaining by the way) Brittany decided she should leave but she just couldn't seem to take her eyes off of the mysterious girl.
A loud ringing sound came out of nowhere and Brittany's stomach dropped when she recognized the sound as her ring tone. She ducked by behind the lockers as quick as she could and pulled out her phone and saw the it was her mom calling, probably wondering where she was since it was already about six o'clock. She declined the call and tried to leave the locker room as fast as possible but just to her luck she slammed into the dark girl she had been watching minutes before. Their eyes locked for a moment but Brittany pulled herself out of it and introduced herself.
"I'm- I'm a-a Brittany." She said her voice shaking, holding out her hand her hand hoping for the obvious Latino to shake it. When she just gave raised an eyebrow and looked at down at her hand Brittany dropped it and flashed the girl another hopeful smile.
"Santana", she replied rolling her eyes," I know who you are. You're the new girl on the cheerios." Brittany just nodded and kept smiling, very nervous.
Santana sighed and held her hand out for Brittany to shake. Brittany looked down at her open hand and hesitating shaking it for a second.
"Come on, I don't bite," Santana said gesturing to her arm. Brittany offered her a smile and shook her hand. Instantly when their skin met each other an electric bolt went straight throughout Brittany's body and she knows Santana felt it too because she jerked her hand away instantly. "Unless you give me a reason to."
Santana walked away and gathered the rest of her belongings in her gym bag and Brittany just stayed and watching her instinctively. Slowly Santana turned around and gave her a questioning glance "Do you always watch people when they get out of the shower and pack up their bags, or am I just special?"
Brittany looked at the ground her face turning bright, a gesture that Santana found to be quite endearing, so she lightened up her normally bitchy attitude on the blond.
"We should hang out sometimes, since you know we're both on the cheerio's and stuff." Santana said, trying to hide the fact that she really wanted to be Brittany's friend. Santana sighed, letting her guard fully down and walked over to Brittany.
"Give me your phone." Santana ordered holding out her hand expectantly giving the best bitch please face she could pull off. Brittany fumbled in her bag for a minute and finally pulled out her phone and handed it to Santana. Santana started scrolling through her phone and typing something.
"Um, what are you doing?" Brittany asked, trying to get a look at what Santana was doing on her phone.
"I'm putting my number into your contacts" Santana rolled her eyes like it was the most obvious thing in the world and handed Brittany back her phone. "Text me tonight so I can get your number, don't forget, kay?"
Santana picked up her bag and almost walked out the door before she turned and flashed a devious smile at Brittany, "Bye" she said before walking all the way out.
"Bye" Brittany tried to say but she doubted Santana had heard because the door was already half way closed.
Brittany smiled to herself while walking out the main exit of the school and getting to her car.
When she pulled into her driveway and walked inside her house she saw her mom cooking in the kitchen.
"Hey sweetie how was your first cheerleading practice?" her mother asked while giving her a quick kiss on the head.
"Good, I guess" she pulled out her phone and sent a quick text to Santana before she forgot. Not after too long she got a reply from Santana.
Meet me at my locker before school and I'll show you around a little if you'd like?–Santana
Brittany smile grew extra wide and she added "I think I've made my first new friend."
