Freshman Year
Santana watched from her hidden place between two football members as the object of her obsession walked past her. The way that the girls hips swayed, the way that her little skirt, nonexistent material that is was, swished offering the view of everyone in the hallway. The Latina felt the rush of adrenaline, the feel of her veins working overtime to compensate for all blood moving too quickly, because of the speed of her heart rate. All because the little brunette had looked over her shoulder, spotted Santana and had smiled at her. It wasn't a show smile, it wasn't a sexy smile, it was a tentative surprised smile, and it was genuine. And Santana was weak for it.
It was cut short when a cheerio came around the corner and blue slushie was all over the place, but mostly on Rachel Berry. Her smile was gone, she pushed the icy cold liquid out of her face and straightened her shoulders and grabbed her slushie kit from her lockerr and headed to the bathroom. "Do whatever you need to me now, because we all know that one day I'll be out of here, and you're all jealous that you'll all remain here forever. Lima Losers until your dying day." she shouted at the entire hallway.
Santana sucked in her breath, when the last word was said, Rachel had pinned her with a frosty glare. As if Santana had set her up for this latest upset in her high school career. Santana tired to deny it with her eyes, with a shake of her face. But the look that took over Rachel's face, the look of hurt and disappointment.
Seeing her this way was as if Santana felt something inside her die. Rachel would never see her as anything other then the enemy. Which Santana deserved, she knew that. She was tainted goods, a Lima Loser, who was going nowhere, fast. She pushed off the wall and headed off in the other direction.
Sophomore Year
Santana laughed with Quinn and Brittany after cheerio practice. They were currently flirting with the three most popular football players. Puckerman had his hands around her waist and was leaning her into the wall of the boys locker room. Quinn was trapped in Finn Hudson's arms. While Brittany and Mike Chang were doing an impromptu of the tango.
"Want to come back to my place?" Puck whispered into her ear as he ran his hands over her breast, hidden from everyone else. The sensation of his touch brought goose bumps.
Santana bit at her lip knowing this wasn't something that she was really ready for. She pulled away a little and leaned against the wall, thinking it over,
"Leave me alone Jacob! No I'm going to give you an exclusive! Leave me alone and stop following me around!"
Santana looked over to see Rachel coming around the corner. She was in her owl sweater and an even shorter skirt then usual. Her hair was flying over her shoulders as she tried to walk quickly away from the fro haired boy that was chasing after her with a microphone and a camera crew.
Quinn, Mike and Brittany started to laugh outright. Santana, Puck and Finn all frowned at the same time. Each taking a step to defend the little brunette. Quick to find out that it wasn't needed.
They all looked in shock at Rachel just turned around and laid a left hook on Jacob Ben Israel. "I tried to warn you JBI, now leave me alone, or else." she looked at the rest of them, giving them all a cold stare. "This never happened." she said through clenched teeth and then she was gone.
"She hits like a grown man." Quinn laughed as Jacob started to cry and spit out a tooth. "Berry's new kick name is Man Hands!" she declared with glee.
Santana frowned, not liking the nickname for the little girl. Puck was still giving Jacob a dirty look, and Finn was looking longingly after Rachel as she stomped away.
"That was hot!" Brittany giggled. All of them turned to look at Brittany with confusion. "What?" she danced around as they looked at her confusion.
Summer before Junior Year
Santana sat back in her seat at Lima Bean in shock, Quinn had just confessed to them that she was pregnant. Brittany kept asking why the stork bird never came to visit her.
While Santana had caught movement, of the hobbit kind, out of the corner of her eye. Rachel Berry dressed in the tightest jeans known to mankind, walked into the coffee shop. They showed off every curve that the tiny girl had.
What was worse is that she was on the arm of the tallest girl, Santana had ever seen in her life. Clearly the girl was almost 6 feet tall, dwarfing the little brunette. They were oblivious to the world around them. Rachel was talking excitedly to the girl and they where laughing. Santana felt something inside shift, her heart to beat at a frightening pace.
Santana watched as Rachel wrapped her arms around the tall redhead, and the red head leaned down to place a kiss on the nose, of the girl Santana dreamed of. Santana narrowed her eyes. What the actual fuck?
Brittany caught her glance and smiled. "Hey Rachel, Hey Tory!" she called out to the cuddling couple. "Join us?"
Santana turned her scowl to Brittany and Quinn did as well, surely for different reasons. "Britt!" Quinn hissed at her best friend.
But it was too late, Rachel and the freak of nature made their way over to where the three of them sat. "Hello Brittany, Quinn, Santana." she said softly. "Tory you know Britt, these are her best friends Santana and Quinn, This is my girlfriend Tory."
"Wow, Berry way to be a statistic." Quinn said with her guard up and her bitch on.
"As always lovely to see you Quinn. Britt I'll see you next week?" Rachel shot Quinn a dirty look, then smiled at Brittany when they spoke, it was a genuine smile, and it bit at Santana's soul.
"Sure, bye guys." Brittany waved, when they left Brittany frowned. "Quinn that was kind of rude."
"Well I don't like her, and I'm kind of dealing with a lot of shit right now Britt." Quinn defended. "When did you become so buddy-buddy with Rachel anyway?"
"We do stuff together, Rach is great." Brittany defended. "You know, maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore. Rachel's never done anything to you Quinn, and you hate her for no reason."
"I have my reasons. She a freak, her fathers are faggots and she's going to hell." Quinn shouted standing up. "You're right we shouldn't' be friends. Because your too stupid to see what being friends with Man Hands could mean to your reputation."
"Maybe I don't care about my reputation, if it means I have to be an evil, stuck up, knocked up president of the celibacy club bitch, like you!" Britt shot back, the coffee shop became quiet and Quinn busted into tears as she ran out of the building.
Santana just sat back her eyes wide and Brittany started to cry, then she left the coffee shop as well. Santana just sat there alone, not knowing what to do. Her friends had just threw their 10 year friendship into the wind, Quinn was pregnant, Rachel Berry had a girlfriend, and was Brittany's secret friend?
