Surprise! I know people were asking for a sequel to 'The Note' and I've decided to write one. This is a multi Chapter fic and will be taking place all throughout season 2. I realized that I never specified when all the drama of 'The Note' took place so I've started this story fairly early on in the season (sometime after 'The Substitute') and will continue from there. Enjoy.


It's been a week since Mike confronted Santana and offered his hand in friendship. Not much has changed but he hasn't lost all hope. Sure Santana may still isolate herself in glee sometimes but Mike has managed to get her to smile a few times and on one occasion laugh; he felt very proud of himself that day. Mike has also taken it upon himself to make sure he says 'hi' to Santana every day; it breaks his heart how happy she looks that someone is even willing to talk to her.

Mike's making his way to physics when he sees Santana looking forlornly in her locker, he slowly made his way through the crowded hallway over to her.

"Hey Santana, how are you?" Mike asked quietly.

"I-I flushed them last night." She replied cryptically.

"Flushed what?"

Santana glanced at him briefly before looking back into her locker. Mike realized this was the only way she was able to have the courage to say what she was going to say.

"The sleeping pills I was going to use to- I got rid of them." Santana glanced at him again.

Mike let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and smiled brightly at Santana, "I'm glad. I would've missed you if you went through with it."

Santana snorted, "I highly doubt anyone would've missed me, maybe Brittany but that's it."

Mike frowned, "I would've missed you. Glee isn't the same without you. Your comments are funny…sometimes. Mean, but funny."

Santana managed a half smile and turned to face Mike fully, "Thanks."

The warning bell rang and Santana closed her locker before saying goodbye and making her way to class. Mike sighed, he wasn't very good at the whole making friends thing. Matt and he had been together since kindergarten and he was the one to approach Mike in an attempt to make friends. Mike felt a pang in his chest at the thought of Matt. He had tried to keep in touch but long distance calls to DeKalb aren't exactly cheap; much to Mike's displeasure the two had slowly drifted apart, only sending one another a facebook message every now and then. Mike shook his head to get rid of depressing thoughts and quickly made his way to class.


It was the lunch time and Mike was making his way towards the cafeteria when he noticed Santana and Brittany standing at their lockers talking. It was the first time in a while that Mike had seen Santana's face light up and she actually look happy and it made Mike smile in return.

Well, until Artie showed up. Mike watched as Brittany's attention suddenly shifted from Santana to Artie and Santana looked none too happy about that fact. She was even more upset when Brittany grabbed her things and proceeded to let Artie give her a ride to class. They rode straight pass him but Mike was frozen in place by the look of hurt on Santana's face before she turned and ran off.

What was he supposed to do? Was he to run off after her or wait until he saw her next and ask her what happened? Before Mike could come to a decision he felt someone take his hand. Looking over he saw Tina and smiled.

"Hey." Tina said as she cuddled up to his side.

"Hey back. Aren't you going to be late?" Mike asked

"No, it's only art. As long as I get there before she takes attendance I'm fine." Tina responded before leaning up for a kiss, one that Mike happily obliged.

"Walk me to class?" Tina asked after their little make out session was over.

"Of course." Mike walked Tina to class while listening to her retell the latest antics of Jacob and Azimio.

Glee's a bit boring now when being compared to Ms. Holliday's brief stint as glee director but Mike is still happy the Mr. Shue is feeling better and able to return back to work. He isn't really paying attention to Mr. Shue at the moment because he currently focused on swinging his and Tina's joined hands back and forth between their chairs; that and the depressed Latina sitting next to him who's currently glaring holes into the back of Artie's head. Mike just happens to catch Santana quickly look away when Brittany leans over to plant a quick kiss on Artie's cheek. Santana folds her arms and Mike can see her holding herself again.

Mike sees that Tina is preoccupied with whispering something to Mercedes and Mike takes that as his queue to talk to Santana.

"Hey what's up?" Mike whispers, trying not to get caught talking.

"I don't get why they have to flaunt their little love affair in front of everyone. It's disgusting." Santana snapped. Mike was surprised by the venom in her voice and didn't know how to respond. He didn't get a chance to as Rachel was in front and beginning to sing her solo for the week.


It's Thursday and Mike is sitting in the cafeteria wondering what the mystery ingredient is in the spaghetti. It looks like cheese but tastes like some sort of meat; Mike continues to eat it only briefly wondering if he'll wake up the next morning.

"What in the hell are you eating?"

Mike looks up to see Santana sitting in the seat across from him. Mike was actually surprised to see her sitting next to him. He had known they shared the same lunch period but Santana had usually always sat with Brittany. Had their friendship deteriorated that much that they were no longer sitting together?

Mike looked over to Santana's usual table and saw Brittany sitting in Artie's lap and feeding him bites from his lunch. At least he now had his answer as to why Santana was sitting with him today. But the question is now what do they talk about? They ate in silence while Mike racked his brain for topics to talk about. Surely it couldn't be this hard to strike up a conversation.

"So the football team is looking pretty good this year." Santana said suddenly breaking the awkward silence.

Mike looked up, "Yeah, thanks to Coach Bieste I think we actually have a chance at bringing home a trophy."

Silence settled in once again and Mike continued to eat his lunch hoping Santana would say something or he would miraculously come up with something to talk about.

"Look at them; they could at least tone it down a bit. Why the fuck does she have to sit in his lap?" Santana spat out suddenly.

"You sound jealous." Mike replied calmly. A peculiar look passed on Santana's face so quickly that if Mike hadn't been already staring at her, he would've thought he had imagined it.

"I am not jealous. He's taking up time that I could be spending with Brittany. If you haven't noticed I don't take to kindly to sharing."

Mike swallowed and nodded quietly, of course he noticed how Santana didn't like to share. She's gotten in more than her fair share of fights over Puck and Mike was pretty sure she didn't even like him.

"You know, you're so quiet that I'm still surprised every time you open your mouth and sound comes out."

"Just because I don't talk as much as Rachel doesn't mean I can't talk. I'm more of a listener anyways." Mike shot back.

"Fiesty, who would've known. You're not half bad Chang." Santana said while finishing off her tater tots.

"I'm really glad Principal Sylvester took off the ban on tater tots. Mercedes went a little crazy." Mike said proud of himself for contributing to the conversation.

"You think she went crazy, should've seen me when Coach Sylvester gave me the order to dump the damn things. I know she did it to get to me. The woman's had it out for me ever since I –" Santana stopped suddenly but Mike could fill in the blanks, ever since she got a boob job. So Ms. Sylvester was picking on Santana. It shouldn't shock him as much as it does but he can't help but feel upset that a teacher would single out a student and pick on them.

It takes Mike a moment to realize that he had been staring at Santana's enlarged chest before he quickly looked away.

"It's okay you know. To look, everyone else does." Santana said quietly.

Mike faced her. Santana's eyes were lowered to her plate and she didn't look comfortable in the least bit.

"No." Mike stated suddenly. Santana quickly looked up to face him.

"I won't do that to you, it's disrespectful. I didn't mean to stare at you Santana it was an accident. It won't happen again." Mike said sincerely.

The look of shock on Santana's face was a little disconcerting. Hasn't anyone ever said that to her?

"No one's ever apologized for ogling me before." Santana managed to stutter out after she got over her initial shock. Mike had his answer, were people really that rude? Nevermind, he realized how stupid that question was.

"I'm sorry to hear that. People should really learn better manners." Mike replied and Santana chuckled.

"Yeah."

The bell signaling that the period was over rang and Santana thanked him before leaving for class. All in all Mike feels that he made a lot of progress with Santana today. Hopefully one day they'll be really good friends, maybe it'll fill that gaping hole in his heart that Matt's transfer caused. Mike got up and made his way out of the cafeteria to meet up with Tina.


Mike was walking Tina to her car after school when he felt her stop. Turning around Mike looked at Tina questioningly.

"Is something wrong?"

Tina took a deep breath before looking at him, "Mercedes told me that you and Santana spent lunch together."

Mike didn't like the look on Tina's face and his instincts told him to proceed with caution, "Yeah, surprised me more than anything really. Why?"

"It's just that you guys don't normally sit next to one another and yesterday I saw the two of you talking in glee, and don't think I haven't noticed how you go out of your way to talk to her every day now. Now today I have to find out from Mercedes and Kurt that you and Santana ate lunch together. Why didn't you tell me?" Tina ranted, slightly out of breath.

"I didn't think it would matter. She sat down at the table on her own. It's not like I could tell her to move to another table, it's a free country Tina she can sit where she wants." Mike shot back not liking what Tina was implying about him. He was no cheater.

Tina sighed, "Your right I'm sorry. I went too far."

"Don't you trust me?" Mike asked quietly.

"Of course I do. It's her I don't trust. You've seen how Santana likes to break up relationships and steal people's boyfriends for fun. Take Finn and Rachel for example." Tina said while continuing to her car.

"Wait what? Finn and Rachel? What do they have to do with anything?" Mike asked.

"Haven't you heard? Santana slept with Finn. It's been going around the whole glee club."

"Tina you know I don't like to listen to gossip. It's more wrong than right most of the time anyways." Mike replied as they finally reached Tina's car.

"Look believe it or not it's true. Ask her yourself, I bet she won't deny it." Tina said before getting in her car and pulling off.

Mike stood in the parking lot watching her drive away. Santana had slept with Finn? Then why was Finn going around letting everyone believe he was a virgin. He'd even said so in the locker room last week. Mike was at a loss on what to think, he would have to go straight to the source but he didn't know either of them enough to start asking questions of their sex life.

"What are you staring at?" Mike jumped into the air and quickly turned around to see Santana and Brittany standing behind him.

"What are you a ninja? Why do you keep sneaking up on me?" Mike snapped while clutching his chest.

Santana smirked, "You still didn't answer my question."

"You really didn't Mike. You can't answer a question with another question either, it's not fair." Brittany agreed.

Great, they were tag teaming him, "I was seeing Tina off. Now answer my question."

"We weren't sneaking up on you silly; you're standing next to my car." Brittany giggled out. Mike turned and looked at the car next to him; sure enough it was Brittany's.

"Oh. Sorry 'bout that." Mike said stepping away.

"Try to be more observant Chang. Britt can you hurry and take me home? My back and knees are killing me."

"Cheer practice that hard today?" Mike asked with concern.

"Yeah, ever since Coach put Santana at the bottom of the pyramid" Brittany explained.

"Britt!" Santana hissed.

"Sorry." Brittany pouted.

"Wait she put you at the bottom of the pyramid? Why?"

"Just forget about it okay. It doesn't matter I'll make my way back up to the top." Santana snapped before getting in the car and closing the door, effectively putting an end to the conversation. Brittany gave him an apologizing look before getting in the car. She waved goodbye to him and pulled out of the parking lot and disappeared down the road. Mike sighed before heading to his own car.


It's Friday and Mike can't wait for the weekend. He can't help but smile brightly at the thought of his date with Tina on Saturday and still can't believe how lucky he was to get a girl like her. Contrary to popular belief Tina is his first girlfriend. Mike still doesn't understand why many people in school think he some sort of player, he's not nor will he ever be Puck.

Classes are a bore and when the bell rings Mike all but runs out of the classroom in order to the front of the lunch line. He woke up late and skipped breakfast after spending the night wondering why Santana was placed at the bottom of the pyramid and why Finn was going around lying about his virginity. Especially to Rachel, who was going through her relationship with him thinking that Finn was a virgin, it wasn't right.

Sitting down at his regular lunch table, he's got pizza today; it isn't long before Mike is joined by Santana. A quick glance over his shoulder reveals Brittany and Artie happily talking and feeding each other their food.

"So, you and Tina. How in the world did that happen?" Santana asked suddenly.

Mike smiled thinking of his girlfriend, "Well this one time at Asian camp-"

Santana burst out into laughter, "You really didn't just do that."

"What?"

"This one time at band camp." Santana replied before giggling again. Mike stared at her blankly, was he missing something?

"I don't get it." He said voicing his confusion.

Santana's jaw dropped, "You've never seen American Pie?"

"No, my parents just started letting me watch rated R movies last year. I have a lot to catch up on." Mike explained quietly.

"I'll say."

"Doesn't help that the first time they watched a rated R movie with me it was when we were doing Rocky Horror." Mike continued.

"Holy sweet hell, how did they react?" Santana asked sitting on the edge of her seat as if he was telling a suspense story.

"We got as far as 'Sweet Transvestite' before my mom freaked out and turned the movie off. That was when they pulled me out of the play. I think she was traumatized and then imagining me wearing the same thing made it worse." Mike finished his story before taking a bite of his pizza.

Santana laughed, "Your poor mom. That movie is a really something if you don't know what to expect."

"Yeah, so any movie stories you got to share? I mean it's only fair." Mike asked seeing this as his chance to get to know Santana better.

"Let me think…. This one time when I was younger I took it upon myself to watch 'An American Werewolf in London' by myself in the dark. I had to be about twelve or thirteen, I don't really remember. Anyways, it got to the part where the guy had one of his nightmares and this one scene freaked me out so much I jumped up from the couch and ran from the tv. I was so scared I was shaking and I was still in the dark part of the house and I kid you not I swear that when I looked behind me I saw that damn demon standing next to me. I ran through the house until I found my parents, haven't liked the dark since then." Santana finished her story and looked up to face him.

Mike stared at her in silence for a brief moment before responding, "That's super creepy. You don't have ghost or anything in your house do you?"

"No, apparently it's just a figment of my overactive imagination. At least that's what my dad says. Needless to say I don't watch horror films much." Santana informed Mike before checking the time on her phone.

"Shit! I gotta go; I need to study for my history test before I fail, again." Santana quickly gathered her things and ran out of the cafeteria before Mike could even say goodbye. Mike sighed and finished off his pizza before he was joined by Kurt and Mercedes.

"Hey." Mike greeted them calmly.

"Don't 'hey' us. Spill, why are you and Santana suddenly bosom buddies?" Kurt asked cutting to the chase.

"We just sit together during lunch. I didn't think that was a crime." Mike answered suspicious of the two in front of him. He very vividly remembered these two being the cause of Tina becoming suspicious of him.

"And the intense conversation you two were having just moments ago before she saw us and ran?" Mercedes asked.

"Santana said she had a history test to study for. " Mike shrugged.

"A likely story, you've got an excuse for everything, don't you? Look we all know Santana doesn't just make friends with guys. She's got her eyes on you and I'm not about to let my girl Tina get hurt." Kurt said.

"Look I don't know what ideas you two have forming in your heads about me and Santana but we only sat together at the same lunch table, had a conversation like two civilized human beings, and I don't appreciate the two of you gossiping to my girlfriend behind my back and having her suspicious of me going behind her back." Mike snapped at the two shocked teens before grabbing his things and leaving the cafeteria.

Mike couldn't wait for the weekend.


I hope you liked it. Also, I'm going to be starting school soon so I'm probably not going to be able to update this story on a regular basis. I will try for every two weeks at least but you never know when life, or teachers, may get in the way. Until next time.
