A/N : Hey there! This is my first fic ever, and I really doubted whether to post it or not, but I'd really like to get better at writing and hearing what you guys think!

This chapter starts right after the slap in "Mash-off" but the next chapters will take place 3 years earlier, telling how Santana met Brittany and how they became friends. First chapter is very short, but the next ones will be longer, I promise!

I hope you like it, and please tell me what you think.
Enjoy!


CHAPTER 1

I saw my hand moving towards his face. It was as in slow motion, coming closer and closer until it eventually slammed into his cheek with a force I didn't even know I had in me. His face was dumbstruck, an angry red mark brimming on the side of his face. I felt my hand sting from the impact. The shocked gasps echoed through the auditorium. Berry looked like someone just told her that Barbra Streisand had been killed, Mr. Schue looked like he had to stop world war III, Mercedes had a look in her eyes as if she had just seen a ghost and the rest of them looked just plain shocked, while my whole world was falling apart into tiny pieces.

I stood there, watching Finn. I felt frozen. Then suddenly everything blurred. My vision became clouded, and my brain blocked out everything but one thought:

I have to get the hell out of here

I don't remember how I got out of the auditorium, I don't know how I got out of the school and onto the parking lot, but suddenly I was in my car, my fists gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white from the force. I could feel my heart thumping in my chest, pumping the adrenaline through my veins. I wanted to cry, really, I wanted to. But I couldn't. I could only think about what a fucking mess my life had become.


Thank you for reading!
