Finn Hudson stood in the middle of the living room; backpack slung over one shoulder, getting yelled at one of his closest and oldest friends, Noah 'Puck' Puckerman.
"Why are you even going there? It's stupid and pointless."
"I'm bored just hanging around the house all day, bro," He said with a light shrug.
Finn, Puck and their three friends, Matt Rutherford, Mike Chang and Quinn Fabray are all vampires. They live together in the small town, staying under the radar and pretending to be normal teenagers. No one knows they live together, no one knows they don't have adults looking after them. They've been living together for as long as Finn could remember.
It was the October of 1871. Finn was a teenager living in Chicago with his mother. He worked on a farm, providing food, clothes and shelter for him and his mother. He was working on the night the Great Fire began; the smoke invaded his lungs and began to suffocate him.
He stumbled out of the barn and got to the road before finally passing out. When he woke up, the city was burning to the ground but he was in a safe house, a blonde girl sitting beside him, pressing a damp wash cloth to his head.
He could hear someone yelling at her in the background about her being too nice and could have exposed them.
When he finally came out of his haze, he learned that the girl's name was Quinn and the yelling belonged to a guy named Puck. He also learned that Quinn took pity on him, choking and gasping for air and she quickly fed him some of her blood right before he took his final breath.
Puck, not wanting Finn to wake up as a vampire alone, brought him back to their home and waited for him to wake up. From that day on, the three were inseparable, Puck was the unspoken leader and Finn was his right hand man.
"You would think after over a hundred years you'd be bored with going to school!" Puck snapped again.
"I rather sit in a class, learning the same shit over again than sit at home doing nothing."
"I agree with Finn." Quinn chimed in. Finn noticed that she changed into a dress and is carrying a binder. "I mean, we do need to make ourselves look as human as possible. Going to school is very human."
Puck huffs because he knows he's losing, especially now that Mike and Matt are both running to their rooms to get their book bags. "Fine," He says, throwing his hands in the air. "We'll go to stupid, boring school and hang out with stupid, boring humans."
Finn laughs a bit and they all leave together. They take different ways to school, to keep people from getting suspicious. Finn drives his truck, Quinn rides along. Puck skateboards, Mike and Matt take a school bus.
Once there, Finn can feel something different about the school. He doesn't know what it is, but there is something there. Everyone is buzzing, whispering to each other. He's trained himself to not use his strong hearing to eavesdrop but he is dying to just do it to figure out why everyone is all giddy.
The school is small so whenever something happens, everyone knows. Well, everyone besides Finn and his friends. They don't interact with the other humans so they are always out of the loop.
Just as Finn is about to give in to the temptation and listen into someone's conversation, he figures out what's different.
A beautiful girl steps out of the front office, pushing her dark hair back. Her hips swing from side to side as she walks down the hall, confidence just dripping off of her figure. Every guy in the hallway stops to stare at her, even some of the girls. Most of them glare though since their boyfriends are being distracted by the tanned beauty.
"Wow, she's really pretty." He hears Quinn say, tearing his eyes from the disappearing figure to look at her.
"Has she always gone here?"
Quinn shrugs her shoulders and shakes her head.
They part ways after that, Finn goes to his locker and grabs his History book. It's one of his favorite subjects; probably because he was there for a nice sized portion of what they learn. Once in class, he sees the girl again.
It's how Finn knows for a fact she's new. He would have noticed her before if she was in his first period class. The bell rings and everyone takes their seats. The girl is seated right besides Finn. He gets distracted by her legs and the way she pulls her legs to her chest, her feet sitting on the edge of the chair. Finn can't stop looking, mainly because he's trying to figure out how her body is small enough to fit into the space between the back of the chair and the edge of the desk with her legs like that. But also because she has amazing legs and he can't stop looking at them.
He knows he's caught looking when he hears someone clear their throat, which of course had to be her. He looks up at her and gives her a little nervous grin. She stays expressionless and looks up at the teacher.
"Everyone, let's welcome Miss Santana Lopez. Her and her family just moved here from Texas." She gives a small wave and a few people say hello to her. A few guys make some cat calls; Finn doesn't miss her rolling her eyes. "Alright, let's get started on today's lesson." The teacher continues on, obviously wanting to get the discussion started.
Finn's happy for the new addition to the class. Not just because she's beautiful but because there is someone else in the class that knows the answers to the questions the teacher asks besides him and Rachel Berry, who answers literally every question with a superior tone of voice.
But when Santana answers, she answers like she is answering some mundane question that everyone should know the answer to. Finn finds it's amusing.
Finn runs right up to after class, stopping her before she could get out of the door by blocking her way.
"Do you need something?" She asks, sounding a bit annoyed.
"I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Finn Hudson." She nods but shows an expression of boredom. "So, I thought maybe I could help you to your next class. And hey, if you need someone to sit with at lunch you could join me. I mean…it won't just be me. My friends will be there too but I'm just saying so you won't be all alone since you're new and have no friends. Not that you won't make friends…"
"Do you always ramble like an idiot?" He frowns a little and she begins to smirk. "Catch you later, Frankenteen." She slips pass him and is lost in the sea of the student body before Finn can react.
He carries on to his next class, buzzing a little with excitement of the possibility of seeing her again.
