Just to be Normal
Again with the Praise
Santana swore she heard her stomach growling as she made her way to the classroom door. Hopefully they had some kind of serious meat in the cafeteria because it was getting close to that time of the month where eating raw meat became almost a necessity. She resisted the urge to growl aloud and split the crowded hallway so that she could make it faster when she spotted Brittany coming out of the classroom next to hers. For a moment she had calmed down enough to go about her day.
"Look its Santana. I think scars on her arm are from when she fought that dragon." A young boy whispered loudly.
"Did you know that she's a werewolf?" a Cheerio asked.
"I heard she's dating that vampire girl Brittany." Another girl commented.
Huffing loudly, Santana grabbed Brittany's arm and made her way towards the cafeteria, the large crowd splitting in the middle to give her room. All she wanted was to be treated like a normal teenager, which was already difficult seeing as she was not only a lesbian, but a werewolf. The last part not being so shocking at McKinley though, the school was full of mutants. But not all of them had killed an evil wizard, stopped a massive inter-species war, and fought a dragon. Couldn't one person just happen to be in the right place at the right time, three times? Yeah, nobody else thought so either.
"You can let go of my arm now San." Brittany said as they reached the cafeteria.
"Oh…right sorry Britt."
"What was that about?"
"Everyone is still whispering about stuff, it gets annoying after a while. Can we go? I'm kind of hungry."
"Anything you want Sanny." Brittany hummed as she leaned over and kissed the shorter girl on the cheek.
"Hmm, part of me wants to ditch this place and go back to my house. I could show you my scars." Santana hinted suggestively.
"Is that how you hit on girls San?"
"I'm a hero, or isn't that what they're all saying?" Santana waved her hands around her head to emphasize her point. "I just want to be normal."
"You'll always be my girlfriend the hero, not the other way around. Because we started dating first and that other way would make me like a gold catcher or something."
"A gold digger?"
"Yeah, like that Kanye West song. Why haven't we done his songs in Glee? Mercedes would like that."
Santana opened her mouth to reply but was cut off by the sound of her stomach growling again. Brittany heard it and nodded toward the lunch line with a smile. She reached up to place a kiss on her girlfriend's cheek before she lightly jogged to the end of the lunch line.
Heads turned and voices started to whisper as she approached, soon she found herself ushered to the front of the line. She rolled her eyes in disbelief as she approached the lunch lady that kept the meat of the day.
"What do ya got for me and my girl today Shirley?" Puck asked as he slung his arm around her.
"Since when am I your girl Puck? Last time I checked you had dumped me and I'm dating Britt." With a scoff she nudged from underneath him and handed her tray to the zombie that was spooning out some kind of brown meat.
"Cheating never stopped you before." Puck whispered in her ear. "But that's besides the point. People need to associate me with you, up my badass cred you know?"
"You are mohawk covered football player that moonlights as a werewolf, how much more popularity do you actually need?"
"All of it babe, cause you know I have needs." He lowered his voice at the last part and rubbed her arm as gently as she could. "Halo later at my place?"
"I think I'll pass on that one. Plus I have a meeting with the council."
"Council, what'd you do Lo?"
"Probably just another pointless meeting with the werewolf turned hero, or have you not been watching the news?"
"When all this first happened you were so happy about it, what's up with you?"
"I don't know, for once I'm tired of people whispering behind my back."
