PROLOGUE:
Little Brittany Pierce woke up from her afternoon nap. She ran looking for her mom with excitement because today was the day she got to go to the park.
Brittany ran up to her mom and pulled on her hand to try to make her go towards to car quicker, "Mom, hurry up! All the good swings are gonna be taken!"
Her mom smiled at her enthusiasm, "Don't worry baby.. When's the last time you didn't go on the swings?"
"Never..."
"You'll get your chance don't worry."
Brittany's mom took her time getting inside the car and strapping her kid to her booster seat. By the time she started the car Brittany was already itching to get out.
When they got to the park, Brittany was about to run towards the swings but they were already taken up.
"Mommy, I told you!"
"They'll be open again soon enough. Go ahead and play on the slide while you wait."
Brittany skipped around started playing by herself by going up and down the slide. She saw that a swing was finally open and decided to hurry and take it before anyone else did. When she grabbed the swing another little girl did too.
The little Latina girl gave a stern look to Brittany, "I got here first!"
"We can share and take turns if you want."
The Latina looked like she was thinking about it for a second and replied, "Fine. But I get to go first!"
They took turns swinging and pushing each other for a long time. Brittany had the time of her life because she had made a new friend.
The blonde tried to push her hair in a pony tale before taking her turn, "My name's Brittany by the way. Brittany S. Pierce."
After the little Latina girl realized that Brittany was having trouble put her hair up she went behind her and helped, "I'm Santana Lopez. "
"Thanks for helping with my hair Santana."
Brittany took her turn for a bit and jumped off to let Santana go. Santana got on and started swinging back and forth but when she went to jump off she accidentally scraped her knee in the process. Brittany ran over and asked if she was okay.
"It's just a scratch it's okay. My dad says I'm his tough girl."
Brittany kissed the Latina's knee to make it better, "Now it won't hurt as much"
"I like you Brittany.", Santana said with a grin while getting up from the floor.
Brittany's mom called out from where she was sitting, "Brittany! Come on it's getting late! Time to go home now!"
"I should probably go now. It was nice meeting you Santana."
Santana frowned and asked, "Will we ever play again?"
"I'm sure we will. I start kindergarten soon. Maybe we'll be in the same class together!"
5 MONTHS LATER
Brittany came to her kindergarten just to get her things and say goodbye. Everyone there was sad that she was leaving because Brittany is the most liked person in the class. Even the teacher had a sad face while Brittany got all the projects she'd done.
Santana ran over to Brittany with tears filling her eyes, "I don't want you to leave Brittany."
"I have to San... My parents said so."
Santana was sobbing and hugged her best friend and begged her not to leave, "You can live with me! I'll take care of you, I promise. You're my only friend Brittany."
Brittany had tears stream down her cheeks, "I'm sorry but I can't stay. I have to leave"
She gave a tight squeeze to Santana before pulling her away and headed with her parents to the car.
"FINE THEN I DON'T WANT TO BE BEST FRIENDS WITH YOU! I HATE YOU BRITTANY S. PIERCE!"
Both of the girls cried until they couldn't cry anymore. Brittany hated leaving Santana and hated that she said they weren't best friends anymore. But Santana hated it just as much and wished she could take back what she said.
12 YEARS LATER
"Are you almost done packing Brittany? We have to be ready to go by the morning."
"Yeah, I just have a few more things to put in my suitcase and I'm ready to go."
Brittany sat in her empty room and looked around. This was the last time sleeping in there. It was almost eerie for her to see it was empty. Her voice echoed as she talked to her mom about arrangements and their plan when they moved in to their new place.
"I'm not gonna know anyone there, mom"
"We lived there before hunny"
Brittany laid down in her sleeping bag, "Yeah but that was like a really long time ago. No one will remember me."
"It's not going to be terrible. Remember when we moved here and you thought you were going to be alone for the rest of your life?"
The blonde mumbled in response under her breath, "I was 5."
"My point is that you adapted. You'll adapt again after settling in at Lima."
"This is gonna blow mom. I already know it."
Brittany's mom kissed her forehead and left her to sulk for the night.
I can't believe I'm going back there.
In the morning, Brittany hurried up to put all of her things in the U-haul her parents rented and they drove for a full day before ending up anywhere near Lima, Ohio. Brittany kept her Ipod in the entire time while looking out to see nothing but small towns that annoyed her. She didn't know why her parent's couldn't have moved somewhere that had a bigger population than what this town had. She was dreading her first day at her new high school on the upcoming Monday. She was sure everyone had already figured out their place and she was nothing but a disturbance to everyone.
When her family finally arrived at her new home, she saw a few people her age walking around. She got her mattress out first and went straight for her room and slept until her family wanted her to unpack the rest of her things.
