Lucky bastard. xD

I'm sitting quietly in the backseat looking out the window of the car, just taking in the new sights that will become part of my everyday life from now on, although i don't think I'll be staying here for long, we never completely settle in one place before we are packing up again. Why you may ask? Well you see, dad works for some big shot company and he gets sent out to do business in a lot of different cities which means me and my mum get dragged along. Which brings us to our recent little trip from California to Colorado?

Its kinda weird getting here, it's nothing like Cali but it has a cozy and friendly feel to it which makes me feel relaxed. Still i can't get too comfortable with anything or anyone cause it's just gonna be harder when i have to leave again. That's the main reason why i don't let anybody inside my walls anywhere I go. It's easier, no emotions, no feelings, no heartache. It's that simple, and also it's much easier for other people too so no one can say I'm being selfish. I'm just saving everyone the pain that they're bound to go through if i dont keep my distance. Anyways enough with the deep stuff.

We're here parked in front of our new house, it's a bit bigger from the ones we've had in the past but i like it, more space for my shoes. Let me tell you, you can never have too many shoes.
So this is it, the new chapter in my life starts here. Look out bitches, Santana Lopez is in town.

"Mija, could you help us get the boxes inside"
Mom looks at me while she struggles to get some of the boxes out of the backseat.

"Do i have any other choice?"

"Not if you're thinking about asking for the bigger room you don't" she smiled at me knowing she'd succeeded in the little blackmailing game.

"Guess I'm moving boxes then." I can't help but roll my eyes and laugh at how easily she gets here way.

I start to help out with the stuff in the car while I take in our new neighborhood. From what i can see it's pretty calm, there's a lot of trees and a small park up ahead the road. Seems like a good place for my morning runs.

I go back inside after everything has been brought to the house and enter the kitchen where my parents are starting to unpack.

"Soooo, do u guys need any more help unpacking?"

Dad looks at me suspiciously. Mom just glances at me with a knowing smile.

"Your daughter wants the bigger bedroom." Dad's expression turns to one of enlightenment.

"I don't get what the big deal is. mija. As long as you have a bed to sleep in.

"Exactly so you don't have a problem with me taking the bigger room since all you really need is a bed".

"Well she did help out, and she's becoming an adult now, she needs her space."

"We're still talking about bedrooms here aren't we?

My dad always gets a little defensive when it comes to stop seeing me as his baby girl. He's way too protective but he's been loosening up a little recently so he'll come around eventually.

"I'll do my own laundry for a month"

"you're an adult now, you're supposed to do that"

"Fine. I'll do yours too."

"Oh c'mon Manny stop torturing the poor girl"

"Esta bien, Esta bien. Go ahead mija".

"Seriously? Awesome! Thank you thank you thank you!"

This is the best day of my life.
No not really but what can i say, i take my shoe space seriously.

"Love you guys " I yell as I run up the stairs to start unpacking my things.

"You know i could've gotten her to cook us breakfast too if you would've given me a few more seconds." Manny puts his arm around his wife.

"Like you would say no to anything she asks for."

"Ah, well that's where you're wrong, i give her the room, she doesn't go out as much, she doesn't meet boys, therefore she doesn't date 'till she's thirty".

Isabel laughs at her husband's overprotective nature kicking in again. She gives him a peck on the cheek and they go back to unpacking.

I have to say, one of my least favorite things to do when we move is having to wake up the first day of school realizing you're starting from scratch. Again. But oh well, you get a clean slate and you can be whoever you want.

I make my way downstairs to be greeted with the sweet aroma of my mom's cinnamon toast. It's really the best breakfast there is. My abuela taught my mom how to make em when i refused to have anything else for breakfast. It isn't my fault, blame abuelita, she's the one who introduced me to them, now i can't get enough.

I enter the kitchen and see both my parents already halfway through their meal.
"Buenos Dias" i say to them.

"Buenos Dias mi amor" they greet back in unison.

"Mija, eat before you go, you don't know if you're gonna like the food at the school"

"Mami you seriously think I'm gonna turn down cinnamon toast?"

Dad chuckles at my statement and mom does the same.

"So which one of you is dropping me off?" My parents look at each other and smile knowingly.

"Well we were actually hoping you could drive yourself mija"

"No offense papi, but maybe it was cool in your days to drive your bike to school. These days? Not so much."

"Ei! Your papi looked like a badass with those wheels. How do you think I impressed your mom?"

I can't help but laugh at the image. Mom chuckles at the memory of a young papi trying to impress her.

"And just look how well that turned out." Mom says looking at him.
"Perfecto" My dad states kissing her cheek.

" Ok ok, not in front of me porfavor" They both laugh and turn to me.
"Anyways i thought you wouldn't be too fond of the idea so..." Dad reaches into his pocket.
"Aqui tienes mija" He throws me the keys to his car. I'm lost. Is he really being that cruel?.

When i finally look at them, i see them smiling at me.
"You're kidding me? Don't joke like that with me."
"We're not kidding, we know how much you wanted the car and it's easier for us if you can get yourself to the places you need to go. Plus were getting too old to carpool" Mom says to me and chuckles at her last statement.

"Oh my God. Ustedes son los mejores. Gracias papi."
"No worries mija, just be careful ok?"
"Of course"

I stand up and give both of them a gigantic hug.
"Now go get ready, you don't wanna be late your first day"
Mom says to me and ushers me out of the room to go change.

Twenty minutes later I'm running down the stairs again, a quick goodbye and thanks once again to my parents and I'm out the door heading to my new black Jeep Wrangler. Aviator glasses on, windows down, music blaring. "Let's hit it"

"William McKinley High School". I'm parked outside the school, taking in the new scenery of my home away from home 5 days a week. There's a lot of people in this school from the looks of it and about every type of person you can imagine. Seems different than others I've been to, which is good cause i got bored of every school i went to very fast.

After I'm done preparing myself mentally, i get out and make my way to the entrance.
The halls are crowded, there's definitely more people than I'm used to. I try to squeeze myself between the sea of people.

"Dios mio, no puedo con tanta gente"
I finally get to my locker and leave the books i don't need for this period and make my way to my first class. Spanish. It should be easy for me given the fact that my parents practically raised me talking only in Spanish so i would never forget my Latin heritage, which I am very proud of.

I step into the classroom and give the teacher some papers.
"Bienvenida a McKinley Santana, my name is Will Schuster. Most of my students call me Mr. Schue. whichever your most comfortable with."
"Mucho gusto."
"Ah I see you 're already ahead of most of your classmates"
I give him a polite smile and walk over to an empty seat next to a very pale looking kid.

"This seat taken?"
"Go ahead"
"Thanks"

"Jovenes porfavor, tomen sus asientos"

The teacher calls out to everyone and gets started on the lesson.

As I'm making my way out of the classroom, Mr. Schue calls my name.
"Santana."
"Kurt" I look back and see the kid that was next to me coming towards us. So that's Twilight's name.
"Kurt, i was hoping you can show Santana around, help her see the wonders here at McKinley"

"Which ones are those, i think i need that tour myself."
I let out a small laugh.
Mr. Schue looks at him disapprovingly.
"Sure. Mr. Schue. It'd be my pleasure" he says sarcastically.

We walk out the classroom and into the hallway.

"You know you don't have to do this, I'm more than capable of handling this myself."
"It's ok, I don't really have much to do in this hellhole"

"I'm Kurt by the way"
"Santana"

"You Mexican?"
"Uh puertorican actually"
"Cool. You have that Latin fire look in your eyes" I laugh at this realization.

"Thanks?" I say not really knowing what to answer.
He looks at me and smiles.
I think i can get along well with this kid.

We walk to his locker first so he can get his books.

"What class do you have next"
"Umm... History"
"Guess your gonna have me for a little while longer"

He says to me and i can't help but feel relief wash over you knowing that you're gonna know at least one person.

As were walking to my locker some jocks pass by us and push Twilight into the lockers.
Anger starts building in my insides. I rush to him and help him up.

"Are you ok twilig- i mean Kurt?"
"what? Yeah I'm fine, it's something you get used to when you're the only out kid in the school?"
The confession only makes you rage even more.

You turn around and spot the gorilla that assaulted Kurt.
You walk up behind him and pull his arm.

"Hey! You got a problem with my friend gorilla boy?"
"Excuse me? You better keep walking if you know what's good for you"
"Oh please, what are you gonna do? Hit me? Or your boyfriend over there makes you draw the line at girls?"
I smirk at his frustrated expression.

He fails to come up with a comeback. He backs away looking at me.

"This isn't over!" he yells.
"I'm sure it isn't King Kong".

When he finally turns around, I realize I've drawn a crowd and I'm about to turn to Kurt, when I hear one of the girls that was with the jocks speak.
"Real badass Z" I hear the students around him laugh.

But what catches my eye is the blonde cheerleader who's standing next to the girl who was making fun of gorilla boy. The second I see her, I lock eyes with her. She has the most beautiful blue eyes that seem to go on forever. I feel like I could drown in those breathtaking blue orbs without protest.
Whoa! Santana what the fuck is that.

She realizes that I've caught her staring, she bows her head and looks away. I think that I just saw her blush a little. She glances back at me again and tries to hold back the smile tugging at her lips, but I'm still able to notice. She has such a cute innocent smile.

Okaaaay. Enough with the thoughts of the hot blonde. What? Now she's hot? You take your meds this morning? Probably not.

Unfortunately I'm a little disappointed our staring contest is cut short when one of the guys puts his arms around her shoulders and pulls her away with the rest of the group.
What was that? Was that a hint of jealousy i felt?. Ok no. Just stop it.

Kurt comes up behind me and breaks my trance. He gives me a thankful smile.
"You didn't have to do that you know. I'm used to Azimio's homophobic tantrums."
"You shouldn't have to be"

Taking one last chance to convince myself that I'm not imagining any of what just happened with the blonde cheerleader, I glance back behind my shoulder.
Without a doubt, as if she was reading my mind, the moment i look back, she turns her head and gives me a shy smile before turning her attention to her friends.

Don't even know the girl and she's making you go all soft with that adorable smile. Get your head straight Santana.

I shake it off and pull Kurt down the hall with me.

"C'mon twilight. We're gonnabe late"
Kurt looks at me with a confused expression.
"Who?"
I just laugh and keep walking down the hallway to our classroom.

Tell me what you think. PM me or leave a review. If you want.

But thank you for reading.! :)
