Chapter One

She was running. She wasn't sure where she was going but she knew she had to get away. Away from the people and away from the situation. Everyone was laughing as she ran but she tuned them out as she had bigger things to worry about than their laughter. Bigger things than what they thought of her. She was scared and immediately thought of running so she was safe. Safe away from everyone laughing, judging and touching her. No one understood and they never would. No one ever had. She ran away from the school as fast as she could until she reached-

Brittany's alarm went off. The song 'Moves like Jagger' was blasting out loudly around her room and as much as she loved the song, she had to start getting ready so she reached over and switched it off. She groaned putting her face back into her pillow. She hated mornings where she had to get up early since it was always such a mission and no matter how much sleep she got, she still felt the struggle. She swore down to this very day that her body just couldn't handle the earliness. That is a word right? Remember to ask Lord Tubbington later. Brittany forced her body out of bed and to the bathroom. She had a certain way of doing things. She needed routine because without it she would forget to do something. Every morning she went to the toilet, washed her hands, brushed her teeth, washed her face, showered, dried her hair, straightened it then finally she got dressed. She did the same thing every morning and even though it might be boring for some, she liked it. Once this was all done then she could finally go downstairs to eat.

Brittany walked downstairs pondering over her dream. She had dreamt it the past week and it always ended in the same way. It confused her, but then again, a lot of things did. She walked into the kitchen and made herself some cereal along with a glass of orange juice then sat at the table. Her mom had left for work already just like every morning and her dad was away on business so she was by herself. Well, she was alone apart from Lord Tubbington. He always came down for breakfast and other meals unless he was out with his lady friend. Yes, Lord Tubbington was seeing another cat. Brittany heard him talk about her a lot so how could she not know about her? She knew she was starting a new school today and she was terrified. She would be in a place full of new people who wouldn't understand what she was going through. It frustrated her that no one understood her apart from Rachel. She was glad she had Rachel because she had trouble making friends so at least she could say she had one true friend. Because of Rachel being there for her, she knew she didn't have to worry as much as she'd protect her like always. Brittany checked her phone and saw she had a new message from Rachel.

From Rachel: Hey Britt! Excited about today? I can't wait to have you by my side everyday! Don't worry, by having me with you no one will dare touch you. I am on the football team after all :P I'll pick you up at 7:30. See you soon. Love you!

Brittany smiled. She had been best friends with Rachel for as long as she could remember. It sucked how they went to separate high schools to begin with. Since she got – well lets leave it at since she left school, she convinced her parents to go to McKinley. She knew Rachel would look after her as she always did. Her parents weren't keen on the idea to begin with since they knew there weren't any specialized staff to work with her, well not many anyway, but she was able to convince them. Brittany hated being different. People always noticed that she wasn't like everyone else so they treated her differently to everyone else which she hated. She found out in her freshman year that she has a severe case of Dyslexia. It frustrated her because it made learning harder for her and she had to spend more time studying just to get a decent grade. She always needed extra support so people thought she was stupid which hurt a lot when she heard people saying it. To add to that she also didn't talk. She hadn't spoken since she was six years old. Not even Rachel heard her speak. If her brother was here he would make her feel better but since he wasn't, she had to cope on her own.

Brittany looked at the time and noticed that it was 7:25 am already which meant she had five minutes before Rachel was due to arrive. She stood up and washed the dishes then walked into the living room to get her bag. Her mum had decided to pack it the night before so she couldn't forget anything. She was very forgetful after all. She heard the doorbell and smiled knowing exactly who was on the other side of the door so she went to answer it. She opened the door and there stood Rachel in her McKinley Letterman jacket, Converses, baggy jeans and a red tight top. She grinned.

"Brittany!"

Brittany rarely missed anyone. When her parents were away she didn't miss them and the friend she had at her old school she didn't miss either but when it came to Rachel, she always missed her no matter how long they were apart. Over the Christmas break Rachel had gone away with her dads since she didn't celebrate the holiday due to the fact that she was Jewish. Was it Hanukkah she celebrated? She knew it was something like that. How was she meant to know? She wasn't Jewish. Brittany opened the door fully and let her in. It wasn't the warmest of weathers after all. Since Brittany didn't speak Rachel had taken it upon herself to learn sign language so they could communicate. They took a class – well she says they as Brittany turned up as well since she was the one doing all the signing. Anyway they took the class whilst they had been in middle school. It was definitely easier in Brittany's opinion than writing what she wanted to say all the time. Rachel just talked normally and she would just use sign language to reply. People thought it was weird that Rachel was friends with her but no one could separate them and Rachel made that clear. Brittany went to meet her once outside McKinley and people were whispering but Rachel put them in their place and they shut up instantly. Brittany had never been so happy to be defended like that. She knew no one crossed her way in school because no one dared. She was looking forward to seeing how people treated her in school since Rachel was one of the most popular students there.

"So are you ready for your first day Britt?" Rachel asked turning to look at Brittany whilst she gathered her stuff together

Brittany nodded putting her bag on her shoulder then they walked out together. Rachel reminded her to lock the door behind her since she never remembered to do that before going out and Rachel knew that. She got into the car and Rachel drove towards McKinley. She didn't know whether to be more excited or nervous so she settled for both. She never liked decisions. Whenever she was asked what her favourite colour is she tells them it's not fair on all the other colours to pick a favourite. But she knew what her favourite animal was. Well actually she had two. The first one is unicorns and the second one is ducks. She loved ducks and even went to the duck pond in the park to feed them when it wasn't too cold.

Brittany had heard a lot about Rachel's life such as she knew she was on the football team as a wide receiver, that her best friends were Santana and Sam, then there was how Rachel had a girlfriend called Quinn. They have been dating for just over a year now and they definitely looked good together. She had seen pictures of the both of them and they looked adorable. She knew Rachel so well that she knew her like the back of her hand but how well Rachel knew her was a completely different story. She hardly told Rachel anything as she was generally a private person in reality. She didn't like talking about her life since it was none of their business. She had quite big trust issues. It's not that she doesn't trust Rachel because she does. It's the fact that she didn't feel the need to tell her everything with them being best friends anyway. Another reason is because she doesn't talk and she has Dyslexia so she doesn't want the school finding out if they overhear her telling someone then everyone talking about her. She has been down that road and she doesn't want to go down it again. Well, not the telling someone part but everyone finding out part. Make sense? She wished it did to her. Rachel pulled up at McKinley car park and parked the car in her reserved spot switching the engine off. All football players had them apparently.

"I know this is scary for you but just remember that you're not alone, okay?" Rachel reassured unbuckling her seat belt turning to look at her best friend. "You have me and once I introduce you to my friends, you will have them too."

Brittany smiled. She knew she was right as Rachel never lied to her even if it was painful to hear. She looked around seeing the students getting out of cars, buses and some had even walked in. They must be brave to do that since it was freezing outside! Whenever she wanted to be brave she turned to her unicorn as she knew all unicorns were brave. Plus they were magical and they never forget how special they are. Sometimes she forgets how special she is so she turns to her unicorn to help her remember. She was a unicorn herself after all. Brittany had been given it by Rachel when she had been going through a tough time at her old school and she had turned to it ever since. She knew she had been a unicorn for a while and even though she had never told anyone, she knew Rachel had guessed herself. Brittany unbuckled her seat belt just like Rachel had done and picked up her bag off the floor and got out of the car. Being sat around made her more nervous and she didn't need that. She watched as Rachel got out of the car after her locking it walking towards her.

"Come on. Lets get this school day started. I know you'll love it!" Rachel said looking at her smiling so she smiled back walking up to the school with her thinking about what this year would bring.
