Rachel Berry sat in her booth at The Lima Bean, confused as to why Santana Lopez would want to see her, she stared at her hot cup of coffee, vegan mind you, and waited. Santana Lopez hated her, she made her life horrible, or tried to anyway. Santana was always insulting Rachel, and putting down her singing. Rachel agreed to meet the hot headed teenager here because she was curious.

Santana sat down so suddenly that it caused Rachel to jump about three feet in her seat, which is a lot for someone so short. She peered up at her fellow glee member and raised her eyebrows, "Santana, glad you could attend this meeting, though you are the one who called it so I would hope you showed up." Rachel said quickly. Santana rolled her heavily lashed brown eyes and sat down across from Rachel.

"Berry shut up I have a head ache." She said as she sipped her black coffee and stared out into the crowd of Dalton students, her eyes seemed to be narrowed in suspicion as she looked around, as if to make sure no one was listening.

"Is this about glee club?" Rachel asked enthusiastically, she had so many ideas and it would be wonderful if Santana wanted to discuss them, finally someone to listen to her.

"Ugh, no Berry, leave that alone for one minute. I have another matter to discuss with you, Finn Hudson." Santana said in a clear voice. She looked straight at Rachel with a piercing stare that rocked her to the core.

"I see." Rachel said, she had no idea what the girl across from her would propose, and for once waited in complete silence.

"You two seem to have the perfect relationship." Santana began, she sneered at the look on Rachel's face.

"Well yes we are finally happy, we just sort of clicked this year, and with out you interfering and sleeping with him…taking his virginity…" Rachel said in a cold tone as she stared right back at Santana.

"No, Rachel, you aren't happy. I see the way you shy away from his touch, the love songs ended, you made out with Puckerman for Christ sake!" Santana snapped.

Rachel blushed, "I haven't told Finn that yet, and it was sort of out of confusion, I can't really explain right now."

"No, I can. Because it's been obvious for like ever now. You my little midget, are in love with someone else." Santana smirked as Rachel's tan skin paled and she frowned.

"If you are suggesting I am in love with Noah you are very wrong, that was a kiss to see, well nevermind, I think I should be going, this is hardly your business." Rachel huffed, she started to get up but two words stopped her.

"Quinn Fabray." Santana murmured. Her dark eyes lowered to the floor and Rachel turned around. She stared at Santana.

"What did you say?" Rachel asked, she sat back down and Santana sneered at her.

"You really need to watch your leering Berry, why else would you sit out there and watch cheerio's practice last year? I knew you weren't doing homework, I saw you staring at Quinn's ass in those little pleated cheerleading skirts. Trust me, it was obvious to someone like me." Santana said in a satisfied tone. She smiled in a devilish way and leaned back in her seat, arms crossed.

"I, is it that obvious?" Rachel said, she lowered her head and thought of how well she thought she had hidden it.

"Why her?" Santana asked suddenly, in a curious tone.

"She's so wholesome and innocent, she's so pretty, and she is smart. Beneath all that bitchiness, excuse my language, she is a beautiful person with a big heart." Rachel said in a breathy voice, her large brown eyes shining.

"Oh." Santana nodded.

"But is it that obvious? Do you think she knows? Finn? I'm not ready, I mean I just can't yet, she would hate me, and so would Finn. I only kissed Noah to see if maybe another man would turn me on." Rachel rambled, her face paling and her brown eyes searching Santana's face for an answer.

"I'm like you Rachel." Santana murmured. She looked away for a brief second as Rachel gaped at her.

"But you have dated so many men, you certainly get around, not that it is a bad thing, I am simply saying that, well, it seems impossible." Rachel said.

"I use them as beards, kind of like you're using finnocence as a beard….no problem, your secret is safe with me Berry." Santana raised her right hand in a weird sort of promise and Rachel nodded.

"Well, is this why you called me here, to out me like this?" Rachel asked.

"No." Santana said. "Yes. I needed a friend. Someone who is going through it too." It hurt her to admit she couldn't stand being alone anymore, and with Brittany dating that crippled idiot, she had no choice but to turn to Rachel. Who leered at Quinn, and was so kind to her friend that it was a shock no one else figured it out.

"Oh." Rachel grinned at Santana and grasped her hands.

"Berry please don't go all creepy on me." Santana winced and tried to tug her hands away but Rachel just kept grinning.

"You want to be friends! Does this mean that we can talk in school too?" Rachel asked.

"Sure Berry." Santana smiled softly at the brunette across from her and was relieved that Rachel was so keen on being there to suffer with her.

"So who do you like?" Rachel asked. "Wait.." Her brown eyes searched Santana's frowning face and then fell, "Oh, you like Brittany…you must…you two were so close until she started going out with Artie…"

"I don't want to talk about this." Santana said. She got up and looked over at her new pint sized friend…"Well if you want to be my friend, I'm going to the mall..and I need a shopping buddy. Brittany's busy." Santana started walking away and felt Rachel's presence.

"Okay, I need some new clothes, my reindeer sweater is to small." Rachel said beaming.
