I Kissed A Girl
AN: This was going to originally be a one shot by now it's going to be a short story maybe 3 chapters depending on where things go.
Santana Lopez and I had formed an unlikely alliance, it all started when she asked me to meet her for coffee last month right before Junior Prom at first I was unsure but I was all for bonding with my fellow glee clubbers.
"Your gay I know" I quickly looked around to see if anyone had heard her, not that I think there is anything wrong it I mean I do have two gay dads, I'm just not ready to come out yet to anyone "You really need to be more careful with your leering" Santana said
"I wasn't leering; I was looking at the style of her dress I've been told on countless occasions that I need to dress better" I lied as we were talking Sara Bellings 'who died and made you king of anything' was playing.
"Like that's any less gay" Santana scoffed
"I'm in love with Quinn" I admitted quietly
"Why?" she asked curiously
"Because Quinn is so wholesome" I replied, I can't believe I was telling Santana this she has never been nice to me
"I hereby offer my services" she said and then quietly added "we play on the same team"
"And why would you want to help me? You hate me remember I'm Rapual, treasure trail and man hands" I asked
"Yeah well sorry about that, but I wants Britt's but she won't leave wheels. This is perfect you want Quinn but she's currently campaigning for prom queen with Finnocence"
"What are you suggesting?" I asked
"Come to prom with me, as friends of course I'm not ready to come out of the flannel closet yet but this will make them totally jealous" she made a disgusted face at the mention of flannel
"Quinn's straight" I sighed wishing it wasn't true
"Actually I disagree with you, I've caught Q leering to she's just too afraid to admit it" Santana said
"I can't people already hate me this will only make things worse" I whispered
"Fine but consider my offer we could go with other people but just hang out while we are there" she reconsidered "I'm afraid of all the talks and laughter" she added after a moments laughter
"You're not alone" I admitted "Who would go with me?"
"I'll go with Puck, he's cool and he knows and we'll find someone to be your beard" she said taking a sip of her coffee
"I'm not sure" I said glancing at the exit
"I need you and you need me" Santana said
"Fine, I'll do it" we talked about how this was going to work, I'd be like her new Brittany, always hanging around Santana, linking pinkies in the hallways, sitting next to her in glee and all that.
The next day I met Santana at her locker I was wearing a Santana approved outfit which was one of my only pair of skinny jeans with an off the shoulder purple shirt, I wore my hair loose.
"Looking good R" she said looking me up and down
"Thanks San" I responded, our interaction was earning looks from the other students in the hallway
"Come on we have Spanish" she said offering me her pinkie which I took when we got to the classroom I went to take my normal seat in the front row but San pulled me to her seat in the back which was normally occupied by a member of the football team "Sit with me" she said taking her seat I shrugged and sat down, slowly the rest of the class walked in the football player came up to where we were sitting
"Oi man hands get out of my seat" he said
"Actually this is Rachel's seat now so beat it!" she put emphasis on my name, the jock looked confused by left to take my old seat. When Mr. Schue got to my name on the role he looked to my seat confused that I wasn't there.
"I'm here" I said raising my hand which wasn't linked with Santana
"Right" he said and continued to call the role after giving San and I a confused stare. We continued this pattern for the rest of the day; while everyone was still confused at our unlikely friendship by now everyone had heard the news so no one was surprised to see us together they all just wanted to know why now. Right before glee club I was putting the books I wouldn't need for homework in my locker when Quinn and Finn approached me.
"Hey Rach" Finn greeted with me, I looked up to see him holding Quinn's hand I quickly hid my hurt expression
"You'll be voting us as prom king and queen won't you?" Quinn asked sweetly, I could stand seeing them look so happy together.
"I think it's a little insensitive for you to be flaunting your dating in my face" I told Quinn and Finn, when I stared at them or looked hurt because of their relationship everyone but Santana just assumed I wanted Finn back but that wasn't the case. I closed my locker and walked off to go meet San at her locker before going to glee club, I left a shocked looking Finn and a slightly confused and hurt looking Quinn.
Santana was impressed with me when I told her what happened at my locker, we enter glee club a few minutes late with our pinkies linked.
"Finally you've listened to me and stopped dressing like a grandma/toddler" Kurt exclaimed as soon as he saw me, I just laughed at his excitement, he looked down to see my pinkie linked with Santana "so what everyone's saying is true, tell me since when are you two friends?" Kurt asked curiously causing all the glee members to stare at us was it just me or did Brittany and Quinn look jealous?
"Well we started talking and realised that we have more things in common than I originally thought and our voices totally rock together" Santana informed them
"Speaking of voices and singing Figgins has asked for us to perform at the prom and I told him we would" Mr. Schue announced, a chorus of no's were heard from the entire club
"Mr. Schue this is our prom we want to be enjoying it" Puck said and everyone agreed
"Sorry guys but this isn't up for discussion and he is paying us and you all know the club needs all the funding it can get. Each one of you will take turns signing this way everyone can dance" he informed us
"Fine R and I are doing a duet" Santana announces surprising everyone and myself "and I have the perfect song but it's a secret"
"I'm doing a solo" I eagerly announce earning eye rolls from the club, we spent the lesson brainstorming ideas after glee ended and everyone had left except Santana and I Noah came up to us.
"I'll help you" he simply says
"Thanks" that word rarely comes out of Santana's mouth so when it did it was best not to question it, he walked us out to the parking lot before saying his goodbyes. The afternoon I picked out a few songs to sing at the prom which I'd practice tomorrow.
Wednesday morning I arrived at school early to practice in the auditorium before school started when I arrive to audio visual club was already in the painting sets.
"Members of the audio visual club I'm going to be rehearsing songs that I might sing at prom when I'm finished tell me if I was spectacular or simply outstanding" I told them before sitting down at the piano.
[Rachel]
There's a fire startin' in my heart
Reachin' a fever pitch and it's bringin' me out the dark
Just as I was about to start the next line I heard Jesse St James's voice, I turned around to see him standing in the auditorium door way singing why was he hear last I heard he left to go to UCLA.
[Jesse]
Finally, I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reachin' a fever pitch and it's bringin' me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinkin' that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feelin'...
I finally recovered from the shock of seeing him and joined in for the chorus , he had made his way down to the piano and was walking around it
[Jesse & Rachel]
We could have had it all (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I took the next verse, the truth was we could have had it all if he hadn't left and if I wasn't in love with Quinn but of course he didn't know that.
[Rachel]
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I heard one on you and it's gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Makin' a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
[Jesse]
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinkin' that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feelin'...
[Jesse & Rachel]
We could have had it all (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hands (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it with a beatin'
He held out his hand for me to take, I looked at it before pushing him away and going to stand on the other side of the piano, he looked hurt but continued singing
[Jesse]
Throw your soul through every open door
[Rachel]
Count your blessings to find what you look for
[Jesse]
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
[Rachel]
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown
[Jesse & Rachel]
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Yeah, we could have had it all (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Yeah, it all, it all, it all (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hands (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You could have had it all (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hands (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played and you played and you played
And you played it to the beat
Once we finished the song I spoke
"Jesse what are you doing here?" I asked him quietly
"I came back for you, Rachel I never should have traded what we had for nationals" he confessed
"You shouldn't have come back for me" I told him forcefully before storming out of the auditorium to find Santana, I had no idea that he was following me.
"San Jesse's back, he said he came back for me" I told her as soon as I found her
"R slow down when did you find this out?" she asked
"This morning he came to the auditorium when I was practicing and my solo turned into a duet and he told me" I explained I could feel my eyes starting to tear up, she noticed to and pulled me in for a hug, somehow we had gotten really close fast and we'd only been friends since last Saturday.
"Why does this upset you so much? Just tell him you're not interested" she said pulling out of the hug but linking our pinkies.
"Because he wants me back and I can't even tell he why I don't want him" I explained "I can have people finding out"
"Don't worry just don't give him a reason or say it's because he egged you. You could use this to your advantage go to prom with him" San suggested bushing some stray hair off my face
"I couldn't do it; I would have to be honest like you were with Noah" just then Jesse walked up to the both of us and dragged up in to an empty room
"Hey St Jackass stop man handling me" San growled he let go of both of us
"I heard your conversation is there something I don't know Rachel" he asked and I shook my head "You sure there isn't anything like maybe your gay" he whispered the last part I was about to cry "I'm not going to tell" he quickly said noticing how upset I was "Want to go to prom with me?" he asked
"You want to go with me even knowing that you know" I asked
"Yes, I'm so sorry that I hurt you and I want to make it up to you even if you're not in love with me I want to be your friend" he admitted
"Ok" I nodded dumbly
"You hurt her and I'll go all Lima Heights on you" San said with venom in her voice
"I won't" he promised this satisfied her for now, the bell went signalling the being of first period we all went our separate ways to class.
AN: Please review and let me know if you think there should be a little Pezberry before Faberry and Brittana get together.
