Alright guys. This is a Samtina FanFic. It'll probably be in chapters so just be patient if you like it. This is canon up to Season 4, but Tina isn't crazy obsessed with Blaine. She's single and...crushing. This is going to switch from Tina to Sam's perspective, and you'll know from the differences in text. Sorry if it's confusing!

The Beginning:

It wasn't her fault. It really wasn't. She couldn't help the way she stared at him and not Mike during Bieber. And she couldn't help thinking about him the times she did, when dating Mike and not. Sam was always the guy in the back of her mind. A cute, sexy, goofy, nerdy guy who was..somewhat out of her league. She didn't want to lower herself, but the idea came to her mind more than once of what if.

The fact that Brittany and Sam were an actual thing made her gag, and when Blaine spilled his guts to her about Sam, all she wanted to do was say she felt the same, but she couldn't. She couldn't tell her best friend that she liked her other friend who was- It was all a jumbly mess and that's why she couldn't say anything.

Sam was with Brittany. That was no lie. He liked the blonde. Granted he wasn't sure why half the time, but he was. He felt the need to protect her since Santana left, but in the back of his mind, he always felt like a bigger brother and not like a boyfriend. Though when he kissed the blonde he felt something different. She tasted like Cherry Lip Gloss always, and she made him laugh. But the sibling thought always came into his mind.

Blaine? What? Blaine liked him? Well, he could see it, that was for sure. He knew he was attractive, and he made himself work for that body, but Blaine? He just thought they were bros. But let's get back to that body. Was that all he was to Brittany? She told him he wouldn't need much after high school. She didn't push him. She didn't help him. What kinda girlfriend is that?! he just shook it off and went along with life as it was. Accepting it and making it by.

Guilty Pleasures.

Boy, did Tina know that well. Sam was more than a guilty pleasure. He was like that Teen Idol that girls hang on their walls and think about when they have anything better to do. But glee wasn't about Sam. That was about the fun things that could happen with them together. Maybe they'd be partners sometime? More often than not, she'd catch herself staring at the boy, and then he'd look back, pushing his bangs from his face and smirk at her. A blush would cover her lips and they would go on. However this was the time to make Sam blush.

Scary, Sporty, Baby, Posh, and Ginger. The Spice Girls. It was perfect, and if she could say so herself, they did a pretty great cover. After the performance Tina went over to Sam;

"Did you like the performance, Sammy?" She asked with a small laugh, trying not to grin as she did. Though it was so tempting to gloat from time to time.

"Yeah, I loved it. Really. I was...It made me get out of my seat." He'd never admit that TSG had a special place in his heart. And Tina being one made it better, oh, and Brittany too of course.

Tina bit her lip as she fake punched his arm, just begging a grin not to form. "Yeah. I saw you. It was fun. Glad you were so into it."

Sam shrugged and opened his arms about to say something else while talking with his hands and Tina took it upon her to sit on his lap playfully. Her arms draped around his neck and she put on a fake British accent as she spoke to him again.

"Oh. Well hello there."

"Yes, Darling, I'm so glad you looovveed the performance. And thank you for making such a comfortable chair.."

"Well you made a great Scary, T. Though I kinda thought you'd fit Baby better... So you and Unique should've switched. Unpopular opinion. And Thor agrees."

The boy pointed to his shirt with the action figure and gave a nod. Tina let out a laugh and she gave a nod as well. Not so much agreeing, just hoping she wouldn't say something stupid and ruin their playful banter.

"Well.. I think I should go get changed..One can only sit in Pink Leopard for so long."

Sam smiled and looked the girl up and down once more. A tight pink leopard outfit wasn't unappealing to the eye, but he should've been looking at Brittany, who at the moment, wasn't in the room. "Well.. If you really gotta go.." He said reluctantly unwrapping his arms from her waist and opening his arms once more.

That was the moment that made Tina second guess everything. He lingered. "Well.. Uhm.. Yeah." She muttered out. "And I gotta take out this fake tongue ring, too. See?" The girl asked awkwardly showing the boy the fake stud. "I wanted to go all out for Scary."

She smiled, getting up from his lap and leaving the room to change. Her head in confusion and her heart the same.

Sam just gawked as she left. She had a tongue piercing. Holy crap. And he lingered. All he could think about in that moment was how he missed the familiar weight on his lap, and how he didn't want to let go. He was hooked. It was sudden and at the same time, it wasn't. They'd always been friends. Tina was the one he talked nerdy things with if Artie wasn't around. She talked comics, and even Avatar with him and never got bored. He wasn't sure why, because he was sure he was boring, but there she was. In the back of his mind.

So there they were, in the back of each others minds, and Sam with Brittany and Tina.. Still getting over Mike. Tina would never admit it, but it was hard to forget if your ex-boyfriend kept coming back to help with the one thing that kept you sane, and the tattoo always in her skin. Make Change Forever. A clever switch but she'd always remember the real meaning. Sometimes it made her skin crawl just because..

Alright kids! We've got work to do. We've got a lot of work before regionals.

That day in the choir room Tina kept stealing glances at Sam, and when she went to pay attention, he did the same to her. Brittany wasn't there again. And he didn't know why, but something about Tina was drawing him to her. He couldn't help but notice the way her long dark chocolate hair with golden tips fell over her shoulders. And how every dress curved to her body just right. What was weird to most was perfect, and he hated himself for just noticing it.

The bell rang and all the kids scattered out. Except Sam, he stayed and waited for Tina.

"Hey T?"

"Yeah?"
"I've, uh, got a question."
"And I might have an answer.."

He paused unsure of how to ask. He obviously couldn't ask her on a date no matter what his emotions said in their hormone driven ways. So instead he went the safe route. She knew he had dyslexia and he'd use his home field advantage.

"Can you be my Tutor..? Mrs.P said I need one because if I don't get help I might fail Senior Year.. and I kinda don't wanna do that." The boy said with a nervous laugh.

"Of course, Sammy.. you have my number, and I'm almost always free, so just..call me when you've got time in your schedule."

Alright guys. That was the first chapter. Hope you guys liked it. I'll be writing more because I'm on a Samtina hook as of late.
