A/N: Let me know what you guys think. Shall I continue?
Chapter 1 - A Warm Welcome
It's never been easy being an eighteen year old in high school. In fact it's rather difficult. It's even harder being an out lesbian eighteen year old in high school. The hardest thing though is being an eighteen year old, out lesbian with a penis in high school.
My name is Brittany Pierce. My mom just got remarried to John. He's a nice enough guy but because of his job we had to move from Nashville to Lima, Ohio. My little sister Amy really didn't want to move but I didn't exactly care. I was glad to see that high school behind me. Although my dad lives further away from us now, Lima isn't all bad. At least no one here knows about my condition.
Today is the day I start William McKinley high school. After leaving the principles' office I got my timetable. Standing outside my locker I love over the timetable I was given and lucky me I have Spanish first period. Great. Now, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box but making me take a language I'm gonna forget the day I leave here is pretty pointless.
I'm not going to go to a Spanish speaking country anytime soon. Unfortunately though, I don't make the timetables or the rules so I'm stuck going to Spanish class. Getting lost in school is still embarrassing, even if I've never been here before. I hear a locker slam closed next to me and a short brunette spin around about to leave.
"Excuse me?" I said, stopping the girl before she can go to class. She spins back around to face me. "Uh… I'm kind of lost. Do you know where room 203 is?" The brunette grinned brightly at me. Seriously I think I need some sunglasses.
"Hi, I'm Rachel Berry." The brunette, Rachel, extended her hand towards me so I shook it and offered her a weak smile in return.
"I'm Brittany Pierce." I dropped her hand, smiling a little more. Maybe I've just met my first friend here.
"And I assume you have Spanish with Mr Shue?" I nodded at her and she grinned again. "Excellent. I can take you there. I have the same class and if you like later I can show you around."
"Oh wow, that would be great. Thank you."
"Hey, Berry! New girl!" The voice startled me. I turned around trying to find the person behind the voice only to get a freezing cold slap to the face. I can hear Rachel scream next to me obviously hitting her too. The cheerleaders who threw the slushies' at us are giggling as they walk away. "Morning Berry and welcome to McKinley, new girl!"
Wiping the slush away from my face, I blink trying to get the sting out of my eyes. The slushy making my clothes stick uncomfortably to my body. I feel Rachel take my hand a lead me into a bathroom down the hall. I watch as Rachel grabs some paper towels and dampens them before wiping the slush off her face. She grabs more, dampening them again and she reaches towards my face. "Can I…?"
I nod letting her clean me up. Once Rachel has cleaned my face she throws away all the paper towels and turns back towards me. "I have spare clothes in my locker; I'll be right back with something for us to change into okay?" Again I just nod in acknowledgement, but before Rachel leaves the bathroom door swings open and another cheerleader walks in to the room. Damn, she's beautiful. She's got gorgeous tan skin and the most alluring brown eyes I have ever seen.
"God Rach, they got you good this morning, huh?" The Latina said, obviously trying not to smile.
"Shut up, Santana." Rachel snapped at her. "And Santana this is Brittany, she just started here. She has Spanish with us first period." I feel my cheeks heat up as she looked at me with those big brown eyes. I smiled back at her. She ducked her head down and I could swear I saw her blush.
"Does this happen a lot?" I ask.
"Yes." They both say in unison.
I just stare at them confused. "Why?"
"It's simple really. The others and I are cheerleaders. Berry here," She says pointing at Rachel, who just scowls at the use of her last name. "Is in glee club, which puts her at the bottom of the food chain at McKinley, and you. You're the new kid in town. You're fresh meat and those savages out there just love them some fresh meat to toy with."
"Wait, if you're a cheerleader, then why are you even in here talking to us?" Now I'm even more confused. What the hell?
"Well, Santana may be a cheerleader, but she is also in glee club with me which means she can get slushied too from time to time. She just pretends I don't exist when the others are around us."
"Speaking of you not existing, I have to go. I'll see you in glee later. Bye Brittany." She winked at me before she walked out the door into the now empty hallways of McKinley.
After Rachel gave me a new shirt to wear and got one for herself, we walked to Spanish together. Walking in we excused ourselves for being late to class. Rachel took a seat next to a tall oafish looking kid. I looked around spotting the last available seat in class next to Santana. Would it be too creepy if I tried to smell her? Yes it would be dumbass. Just sit down.
I walked over and sat down, glancing over at the brunette. She was staring out the window, looking positively bored out of her mind. "Hey." I whispered. She glanced over to me before turning her attention back to the window. Okay. Well that was rude. "Santana?"
"Yo Satan, new girl is talking to you." A boy with a Mohawk whispered behind us with a smirk. The Latinas eyes went comically wide as a blush appeared in her cheeks causing her to snap her head in his direction.
"Shut it Puckerman!" She sent the boy a glare effectively shutting him up.
"Santana I-"
"Don't talk to me Blondie." She snapped at me. The harshness of her tone causing me to flinch slightly.
"Uhm... Okay… Sorry." I whispered and turned my attention back to the lesson.
Once the bell had rang signalling the end of class, the Latina got her stuff together and left the room as quickly as possible. Rachel bounced over to my table waiting for me to get my stuff together before leaving the classroom with me following behind. "What have you got next?"
Once I located my timetable in my bag I quickly scanned it for my next lesson. "English."
"Oh wonderful! I have English too." The short brunette grinned widely at me.
"Cool. So what was with Santana?" I ask curiously.
"What do you mean?"
"Well I sat next to her in class and she didn't even speak to me. I said hi to her and she just ignored it until that guy spoke to her. Then she just yelled at me." I said feeling a pout form on my face.
"Oh that's just the way she is. I wouldn't take it to heart. She has a 'reputation' to keep." She said using air quotes as she said reputation. "She never means anything by it. She just hates other people poking fun at her. I guess Puck must have caught onto the little crush you have on each other." She replied winking at me. I blushed at her words.
"Uhm… What?" That just made Rachel laugh, which only made me blush more.
"Oh come on Brittany. I have two gay dads. I think my gay-dar is pretty on point. I know you like her." She said smirking.
"So wait, Santana's gay too?" I asked, getting my hopes up.
"Yeah, Jacob Ben Israel got hold of a sex tape she had made with some girl at Carmel high and posted it online. He practically shoved her out of the closet to the whole school. On the plus side though it's clear she likes you back."
"Oh wow. That's terrible." I can't believe that. How could someone even do that? Hopefully I never come across this kid. He seems to be a total jackass.
"Trust me she got her own back on Jacob."
"What did she do?"
"It doesn't matter. Point is he'll not be bothering anybody for a while. Come on, we have to get to class." Nodding, I followed after Rachel to our next class.
When the end of the day finally came around, I don't think I could be any happier. I am exhausted. I just want to go home and watch TV with some hot cocoa or go for a nap. I started walking home. It only takes ten minutes to walk from school to home. I honestly don't think I've ever been happier to see the front door. I quickly walk inside and head straight for the living room, seeing my mom sitting on the couch. She turns around as soon as she hears me enter the room and quickly shuts off the TV.
"Well?" She asks expectantly looking at me. I sit down on the couch next to her.
"Well what?"
"Britt, come on. How was school? Did you meet any new friends? Any one hot here?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows at me and grinning.
"Mom!" I exclaimed as my thoughts start drift to a certain feisty Latina. Pulling me from my thoughts is the sound of my mom's laughter. "School was okay." I shrugged. "I did meet a girl called Rachel Berry who showed me around today. She's in most of my classes and her locker is beside mine, so I will see her in the mornings in case I need her help again."
My mom smiled at me. "Well I'm glad you're settling in here Britt." She said, patting my knee and getting off the couch, heading into the kitchen. "You should also look for a job around town and make some extra money for yourself."
"Yeah, I'll look into it, mom." I said as I got up and went over to the stairs, making my way to my bedroom. I flopped down on my bed, totally drained. I kept repeating Rachel's words in my head all day. "I guess Puck must have caught onto the little crush you have on each other." Did Santana really have a crush on me too?
Rolling over onto my back, I started to drift to sleep. Maybe Lima is gonna be better than I originally thought.
A/N: That's it lemme know if I should continue or not :) I just felt like doing a high school fic :D
