It's A Partner Thing.

Chapter 1: Meeting You

"Yeah Mom. I'll be fine" The taller blonde said to her mother. "See you later!" She shouted as she steps out of their house and headed to her new school, William McKinley High school.

.-.-.-.-.

It's been a month since they moved here. Here in Lima, Ohio. Her dad got a job here from a company who offered a much higher salary than the previous one after a couple of weeks of her daughter's last day in her school.

Brittany hated it. She hated moving. She hated leaving her friends. She hated that they will not go back here again with her family. But she'll definitely miss the place where she grew up.

.-.-.-.-.

"Well, I guess I'm here." Brittany observe the school and most especially the students that she was about to see for the whole school year. She observes on how they act, socialize and treats each other. It was more 'peaceful' here at McKinley than her previous school where almost every fight happens every day. But of course, there are still some bullies and bitches like any other school has. She inhales heavily and exhales slowly then walks carefully, not wanting to get in others' way.

"Hey there." Brittany felt a hand on her shoulder. Startled, she quickly turned around and was greeted with the site of the three.

"Whoa. Chill out, blondie. We're not gonna kidnap you or something. We're here to make friends. Unless you don't want to?" An Asian-girl said to her. "We never saw you here around before. So, you new here?" the other one said to her. "Oh. That's cool. Uhm.. Yeah. Just new here." She answered both questions.

The three introduced themselves. The boy on the wheelchair is Artie, the asian-girl is Tina and the diva-like is Mercedes. Brittany introduced herself to the group and joined them.

They walked to the double doors of McKinley and went inside. They saw a group walking and everyone just backs off as they walk.

"Uhmm.. Who are they?" Brittany asked as she continued to watch the group. "Ohh. They are Quinn Fabray's group. They are pretty much the richest and coolest students here in school. Hell, even here in Lima." Artie answered her.

"Who's Quinn? Who's that and that and that and that and -" Brittany is not finished pointing when Mercedes cut her off.

"Okay okay. Quinn Fabray is the blonde with the short hair. She is the Head of the Cheerios and Head of almost of everything here. Behind her are Puck and Santana. Puck here is the mohawk dude.." Mercedes said but was cut off by Artie.

"He who takes away your virginity." They laughed loud that Quinn's group looked at them. Brittany caught Santana looking at her and the latina just smirked at her and looks away.

"And that's Santana. Lesbros with Puck. Some dudes want to be with her and just look at her. You'll not expect her to be a lesbian. And I know some girls here makes them question their sexuality because of her." Tina said.

Yeah. No doubt about that. With a body like that and with a group like that, everyone would totally wanted to be with her. Brittany thought to herself.

"Oh look. They recruited new ones. Mike Chang, Sam Evans and Sugar effin' Motta." Brittany looks at them just before they turn.

"It's almost time. We better head to our classes now."Artie said. "Yeah. We probably should. See you later guys!" Tina said while wheeling Artie with her.

Mercedes looked at Brittany's schedule paper and leads her to the room.

"Okay. Here we are. Here's my number in case you're lost or something. Okay? Bye!" Brittany waves to Mercedes. She looked at the almost full room. She took a seat at the second row. With a deep sigh, she took out her notebook and pen.

Silly. Why did I take this out. It's not like we're having a lesson to discuss now.. Brittany mentally slapped herself.

"Everybody please take your seat now. And you can have your little chitchats later." Brittany looks up and she saw her teacher. "I'm Ms. Holly Holiday" She said as she writes her name at the board. "I only know few of you so I'll start checking the attendance now to be familiarize at your faces." Holly called out a few names then.. "Brittany S. Pierce?" Brittany raised her right hand and said present just like everyone else. Holly smiled at her then looks back at the attendance list.

"Santana Lopez?" Brittany was surprised that Santana is her classmates. And what surprises her more is the she is actually behind her. How come I did not notice that? She asked herself.

"Here." Santana said. The guy seating beside her is practically dripping. "C'mon. Quit drooling. You practically looked like a bulldog right now with that amount of saliva dripping from your disgusting mouth." She said, still glaring at the guy.

Brittany just chuckled at what Santana said to the boy. She thinks it's adorable.

"Okay I think that's it. I'll be discussing the rules. Just like every year." That's why she doesn't like to go to the school during first day. It's boring and pretty much they do nothing but discuss the same thing again and again.

Brittany is too bored to listen to Holly. The rules were almost the same at her previous school. Luckily, she took out the notebook and pen a while ago. She doodled and doodled and doodled. The results of her boredom are drawings of ducks, unicorns, hearts and other childish things.

"So, I have this activity which will last for a month. I assigned a partner each of you. You'll spend time with them at least 1 hour every week days. Girl to girl and boy to boy partner just to prevent teen moms and dads." Holly joked. Trying to enlighten the mood. "I'll just post it here. So just check it out later."

"The purpose of this activity is to try hanging out with different people. Because I noticed that you just go with the people you always go with. So I decided to give this a try. Maybe some of you will be good friends." Holly explained to them. She explained few more things about this activity. Just after all the explaining, the bell rang.

"Oh! It'll start tomorrow, class!" Holly raised her voice for everyone's attention but the class just started disappearing from the classroom.

Brittany gathered her things and started heading to the door. She was about to exit the classroom when she remembered the paper posted at the board. Intrigued, she walks back to the board and started finding her name.

She squints her eyes trying to find her name. A couple of names have passed then she stopped.

"Santana Lopez is to.. SHIT. No, no way." She said while shaking her head no. "Yeah. No way."

Brittany was startled. She thought that everybody left. She turned her head and there she was, Santana, looking at the paper then to her.

"This activity sucks." Santana said slightly pissed. "So, you must be Brittany?" she asked Brittany. Brittany nodded to Santana. "I sense that you're new here." Again, Brittany nodded. "Are you mute or you just have a stinking breath that's why you can't open your cute mouth?" Brittany was surprised on how the Latina's mood quickly changed.

"No no. It's just.. I can't believe you're my partner, that's all. And my breath is totally fine, not stinking." Santana just laughed and shakes her head. "Yeah yeah, that would be totally turn off." What? Turn off? Does she.. Santana saw Brittany's questioning face and she quickly clears herself. "You don't want to be partner with someone who's belting out with their mouth whenever they talk, do you?" Brittany mentally slapped herself for assuming that Santana likes her. She saw Santana waiting for an answer and she quickly nodded. "Of course."

"So, uhmm.. I'm Brittany Pierce. New student here." Brittany offered her hand to Santana and was glad when she felt Santana's hand holding hers. "Santana Lopez. At your service."

Blue eyes met brown ones and they stared at each other for a few seconds still holding each other's hands.

Santana clears her throat and pulled her hand away. "Well. I.. uhmm .. Nice to meet you, Brittany. Since you're my partner we'll be hanging out tomorrow and know more about each other. So.. yeah. I gotta go. Bye." Santana waved goodbye to Brittany and left.

"She's rambling.. and something." Brittany ran a hand through her hair as the thoughts of their conversation of Santana a while ago. She said I have a cute mouth, she thought that I'm mute or a bad breath which is not true and that would be a total turn off to her, we hold each others' hands longer than I expected to and "Santana Lopez. At your service" That voice. It repeats over and over again on her head. She tries to think of other thing but damn, it won't work.

What service? School service? Tutor? OH MY GOD. Bed service? Images of Santana half-naked and stripping at her flashes at her mind. "No no no.. That cannot happen and it WILL never happen." With those thoughts at her head, she quickly headed to her next room and hope that these thoughts will start to change.
