Chapter 1: A Day in the life of Santana
Today is just another boring day of my life. I woke up early today because of the math test. I know I spent the past three days studying, but I have to make sure that I learned something. So, I got up from my bed, and took my glasses and math book. I read for the next thirty minutes, then I go take a quick shower before change into a jeans, a white t-shirt and – well, it looks like it's cold outside – a gray sweater.
When I'm finally ready, after brush my hair that looks like a mess today, I went down stairs to the kitchen, where my mom already set the breakfast on the table.
"Morning, mami." I said as I smiled at her and then gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Morning, Santanita." Mom answered with the biggest smile on her face. Even since we moved out from Valencia, California to Lima, Ohio, she had been really worried about me. She thinks that I don't realize but it's quite impossible actually don't realize it. It's mainly because sometimes, like, two or three days a week I arrive home wet because of the slushies that the jerks throw at me. It's possible that she's happy like that because I didn't get slushied this week yet? Probably. Even I am happy because of it. I can't tell you how much sweaters I've lost because of the slushies.
After eat my pancakes and some bacon with my usual orange juice, I went upstairs again to take my backpack with some books and brush my teeth. Finally, I left home. I walk for school as I do everyday. When I arrive there, well, no one care enough about me to realize that I arrived, and it's better than on my old school, where when I arrived, every single person looked at me and whispered something, or giggled, or did some joke; All started in a normal day (kind of). I arrived at school and I realized that everyone found out that I'm gay. Anyway, I don't like talking about this.
I walk to my locker and put my backpack inside of it, and when I turn around Puck is right there waiting for me to turn around.
"Sup, Lopez?" He said. Puck is my best friend. He's actually the only friend I have around here. We got friends really fast after our Physics teacher made us work together. I ended up at Puck's house playing Call Of Duty, and to be honest, I totally beat his ass at this game. After that day we became friends. I think it's because we're pretty alike. We're kind of nerds, we like video games, music, Doritos, and, of course, girls.
"Hey, Puck. Ready for the math test?" I ask teasingly and took my Chemistry book on my locker.
I saw the surprise in his eyes and giggled a little. "Oh, great, now I forgot about the test." He said with an angry tone.
"You okay?" I ask as we started to walk together to my first class of the day.
"Yeah. Just another bad COD marathon." He shrugged. I know he's lying.
"Come on, I know you better than this. You usually get so much anger than this when you lost a marathon of COD. Even anger when it's against me." I tease him again, and he gives me that 'Don't mess with me today' look.
"It's Quinn. She's totally into the Puckerman zone - you notice it, right? - but she still deny when I ask her out."
I try my best to don't giggle. I know how much Puck likes Quinn, but I love when he says she's 'into the Puckerman zone'. Quinn is the head cheerleader. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, what would a head cheerleader go out with a guy like Puck? Well, I actually ask myself everyday how she even talk to him. People like them don't talk to us. And when people like us try to talk with them, it's a completely mess. I can say because I lived it. Here it is, another story I don't like talk about.
"Maybe you should try something more romantic. You know, something more than 'w-what- w-would… Uh… Breadstix?'" I said laughing as I remember the time I spied as Puck asked Quinn to go to Breadstix with him. "And plus, she have a boyfriend, Puck."
"Oh shut up Lo…" Puckerman froze when he realized what was coming to our direction.
"Hey squirrel-head! Nerdy J-lo!" We heard Finn Hudson, the Quaterback of the football team yell, as him, Sam Evans and Mike Chang walked to our directions with slushies on their hands. Yeah, I should have saw this coming. It's Friday and they spent the entire week without slushie us, just waiting for the right day to throw three slushies on our faces. With that, my glasses fall down from my face, and Sam kicks it away from me.
After wipe some slushie from my eyes, I spot their girlfriends walking right behind them and laughing. First, I spotted Finn's girlfriend, Rachel Berry, that was saying something to Tina Cohen-Chang, Mike's girlfriend, that I didn't understand well (Slushie in my ear?). Then, I spotted Brittany Pierce, Sam's girlfriend. She's on my math class. She isn't one of the smartest girls on the world, but no one really care about it. She's a cheerleader, and her best friend is Quinn. She's beautiful. Her bright blue eyes, her blonde hair, her perfect white skin, her body… Every single thing about this girl takes my breath away. Yeah, of course, unlike Puckerman, I know the difference between dreams and reality. A girl like me will never have a chance with a girl like Brittany. Fate is good with some people, but some time ago I started to think that fate isn't on favor of the losers.
As my eyes lock with the bright blue ones, well I can't see very well because of the slushie on my eyes and because I'm without my glasses, but I think she gave me a sorry look before follow the group that was still laughing. I looked around to see if I found my glasses but I couldn't find it. Then I look to Puck and he smile softly to me. "I think it's better we go get clean before math class." He said with a sigh. He knows how much times I have lost my glasses because of these jerks, so we didn't even waist time trying to find it.
"Yeah, okay. See you later, then." I said softly, almost whispering. I noticed my voice a little weak because of the cold. I also noticed my hands shaking. Ugh, I hate when they throw slushies with this cold weather.
Then I went to the girls restroom to clean myself after take a clean sweater. I turned on the faucet and watched my face. I remember the first time I got slushied. It was after we get the results of the first math test of the year. I got the best grade and the teacher congratulated me. After that day, I went from a normal shy girl, to an annoyingly shy nerdy girl. I remember that I cried a lot that day because I thought I'd be treated better at this school. In fact, people here "accept" better the fact that I'm a lesbian. I think it's because of the number of gay people I see around school. It's great to see that I'm not the only one. There's a lot of gay people here, mostly boys, but I also see two girls together. I think it's cute. I don't hide it, but I don't go out yelling at the hallways that I'm gay. People just know. I kinda know that if they throw slushies at me it's because of my nerdy way to be.
I smile at the memories of my first week at McKinley. Just then I realize someone watching me from the door. And there she was, beautiful as always on her cheerio uniform, holding a towel and biting her bottom lip. I turned my head to face her but I didn't have strength to say something, it can be because of the cold, or just because of how nervous I get when I'm next to her. Like when I was her tutor, you know, helping her with math. There's another story that I don't want to talk about. I just get really nervous when I'm near someone popular or beautiful as she… Or someone that isn't my friend. Better, someone that isn't my only friend, Puckerman. I know, it's ridiculous to be that shy, but I just can't help it. And with Brittany is even worst because I have this stupid crush on her.
I looked down to my feet, and she handed me the towel, eventually she had to get closer to me, which made me slightly more nervous.
"I'm sorry about what that." She said with a soft voice. Wow, how come, is she really being nice to me? Or is this just another joke?
"I-It's okay. I, hm, I'm getting used." I answered without look up to her. I think she noticed I'm nervous or that I'm cold because I spotted she tilting her head to look at me.
"Oh, I found your glasses." She took the glasses from inside her backpack and handed me. "I'm sorry again, I don't think it's broken but Sam overstated. He shouldn't kick your glasses, it's kinda mean."
I just nodded after use the towel she handed me dry my face, and put my glasses on. I think it's better stay quiet than say something stupid or stutter like I always do. But after some seconds I realized that it can be quite rude not say something. She's trying to help me, I guess. I cleared my throat before say softly, almost whispering, "T-Thanks." as I looked up to her. She was smiling at me. It was the most beautiful smile I've ever seen in my life. I lifted my gaze from her lips to her sparkling blue eyes. Great, now I can't remove my eyes from her. I feel my heart speed up in my chest and I bit my bottom lip. I tried to take a deep breath without let her realize that I'm nervous but it didn't work. I'm pretty sure she noticed because she giggled a little. But it wasn't a giggle like the others when I get slushied or when they make a joke with me. It was different. A giggle like the ones I see when she's talking with her friends, when she see something funny like an unicorn or a cat (which I think it's the cutest thing ever).
"Santana, right?" She asked, to break the awkward moment, I guess.
She knows my name! Yeah, Of course she does, stop being stupid, Santana. "Hm, yeah." I said and nodded shyly.
"Uh, so, you think that you could help me with math again? I need a tutor. The math teacher said that I should ask you but I didn't have the chance before… I know I'm totally fucked on the math test today, but I really need good grades to stay in the cheerios." She said softly as she looked down slightly. She must think that I'll deny it because of all that her boyfriend and her friends do to me, but I smile a little to her.
"Y-Yeah, I c- uh, of course I can help." I wish I could even talk straight with her without stutter. Sometimes I just hate how shy I am. People must think that I'm some kind of idiot or something. Ugh.
"Okay, so.. Give me your phone number. I'll text you." She said, as she handed me her phone. I typed my number and saved it. She smiled sweetly at me and I could feel my legs shaking because of it.
I sighed and dry my hair with the towel. She giggle a little, and walks to the faucet, turn it on and took a little of water, and then ran her hands through my hair. Now it was when she looked deeply into my eyes and smiled. I opened my mouth a couple times, before finally make a word come out. "Thanks."
Brittany giggled when she noticed that I was nervous again. "You're cute." She said giggling. "Well, I've gotta go now. See you later? At math class?"
Did she just call me cute? I thought. I think I was frozen for some minutes. Then I realized that she said something. "Uh? Yeah, yes. See you." I said nervously.
She walked to the door, before turn around one last time. "I'm sorry again, for Sam and all the guys." I gave her a 'it's okay' smile and she left the restroom.
When she walked out, I walked to the corner of the restroom and rested my head against the wall. I couldn't believe in everything that just happened. I mean, did it really happen? Yeah, it was real. And here I go, study with the most beautiful girl of this school. I just hope I don't screw up everything again.
I shook my head, and checked myself one last time in the mirror. I'm not that bad, and my hair looks actually better than it was before. Then I left the restroom. On the exact second I turned around to walk to my locker, Puckerman showed up in front of me. "I saw blondie leaving the restroom." He said with a smirk on his face.
I looked at his face and giggled a little. "Nothing happened, your perv."
"I wasn't thinking about anything." He shrugged a little. "You two spent a long time there…"
I spotted the smirk on his face and slapped his arm. "Stop, your perv, I won't give you fantasies to you think about later at your bedroom. We just talked… She said sorry, gave me my glasses, helped me to get clean and asked me to help her with math again."
"Again?" He said surprised. "I didn't think she would want after the last time. You just kept stuttering and all nervous…"
"I told you I'll never forgive you for spying. And this time, Puckerman, I'll make sure you'll not spy. I'm totally turning on the irrigators." I joked.
"Oh, okay, Lopez, I'll give you some time alone with your precious blonde." He teased.
"Stop! She have a boyfriend." I said angry. I love tease Puck, but when he tease me, it's just annoying.
"Hey, calm down, Lopez. Did you really think that they'll date forever? I don't think so. Cheerleader and football player. So fucking classic. This kind of relationship never work, trust me." He said. It almost convinced me. It so true. This things just happen in movies. A cheerleader falling in love with a nerd? It sounds like a movie too. Movie things don't happen in real life and I have this settled in my mind. I just shrugged. I didn't want to discuss it with Puck now. We walked to my locker, and I put my wet sweater there. Then, we walked to the Chemistry class.
Later, it was time to the math class. I walked inside the classroom and spotted Brittany, who smiled quickly to me, before turn her gaze back to her boyfriend, Sam. I sighed, and took my place beside Puck. After a long day at school and a not too hard math test, I went home. My mom wasn't at home by now. She was at work and my dad too. So I had the house to me. Which don't make any difference because I'll just stay in my bedroom, probably playing Call of Duty or Resident Evil online against Purckerman. And that's what I did the rest of the day.
"Oh, Fuck you Puck!" I yelled, readjusting my headseton my hear.
"On your face, Lopez! Who's the best now? Tell me? Puckerman here!" He said laughing, which stopped when my army killed one big part or his.
"Shut up, Puckerman. I still the best here." I said, and heard him groaning on the other side of the headset. Then I felt my phone vibrating on my pocked and paused the game. "Wait up, Puck, I got an text."
"Take your time. I'm totally going to kick your ass this time." He said, and I just shook my head in disbelief. When I unlocked my scream, a big smile opened automatically on my face.
Brittany (11:47 p.m.): hey, Santana! So, what 'bout u help me with math stuff tomorrow? I dont have nothing to do, and this usually dont happen because its Saturday and all, but theres no party so… its fine to u? xD
I smile at how cute the text message is. I don't know, it's just… So Brittany. It made my smile grown even bigger.
Santana (11:48 p.m.): yea, it's totally fine to me :)
Brittany (11:48 p.m.): okay, so you know where my house is, right? At 6 pm sounds good to u?
Santana (11:48 p.m.): yep, I know where it is. I'll be there.
It took some minutes until I finally received the last text message. And I just realized that my smile cannot leave my face anymore.
Brittany (11:50 p.m.): Aw, thank U! See u tomorrow then. Night xD
Santana (11:50 p.m.): See ya. Night :)
I spent too much minutes smiling and thinking about Brittany to realize that I left Puckerman waiting for me.
"Yo, Lopez! Earth to Santana! Heeeeey!" Puckerman yelled through the headset.
"I'm here. Let's… just finish this thing, I have to win to sleep even happier." I teased him.
"Dream about it, not going to let you win this time."
"You'll have to work hard to beat me, Puckerman." I teased again.
"Fuck, Lopez. Just press play and lets continue this shit." He said with an angry tone.
I pressed play, and the game started. I just need a little of distraction. Tomorrow can be a really good, or too awful day. I don't really know how I'll act with Brittany, I can't actually forecast my acts. I just hope I don't embarrass myself like the last time. It's too much to ask to have someone like Brittany as my girlfriend? Yeah, it seems so. I have a crush on this girl since the first time I saw her – My first day at McKinley High, one year and some months ago. I remember every single thing about this day. She looked beautiful as always, with the cheerios uniform, a ponytail, and… Oh, the sparkling blue eyes. I shook my head and removed the thoughts about the blonde from my head as I realized that Puckerman killed seven men of my south army. "Come on, Santana. Let's finish it." I whispered to myself and started to play.
I want to know if you liked the first chapter and if I should continue! So review! Let me know what you think! And English is not my first language, so if there's any misspellings, just let me know! xD
