Author's note: I was supposed to be writing my other fanfic, but I couldn't get this off my head. So...ENJOY! R&R!

Brittany is high.

Really high and deep in her mind she knows this. But she doesn't really care as long as it makes her feel good and forget about things.

Her eyes are almost closing and she is moving slowly and lazily in the direction of her locker.

The other students are used to seeing her like this by now and know better than to say something about it, so they pretend she's not even there in the first place.

Santana Lopez sees her and is pleasantly surprised to see the girl come to school for the first time in a month. Even though they don't talk to each other, she has a crush on her since the blonde appeared from nowhere and saved her from receiving a slushy facial on her first day in Mckinley a few months ago.

She tried being friends with her, but the girl wouldn't even glance at her direction (or anyone's for that matter) unless it was extremely necessary, so after a few days Santana got the message and kept her distance.

"Don't even think about it girl." Her glee club friend Mercedes said, standing by her side and looking at Brittany with and unreadable expression.

"About what?" The Latina girl asked, her eyes still glued to the blonde.

"Brittany Susan Pierce. She's off limits."

"Why?"

"She just is. Not just for you, but for everyone." The brunette said dismissively.

As if feeling their eyes on her, Brittany turned her head in their direction and locked eyes with Santana. For maybe less than an instant blue eyes sparkled happily before returning to cold, bored ones and the girl turned and walked away.

"Kurt said the same thing. Look I know she is really mysterious and kind of a loner but-"

"It's not that!" Mercedes said firmly, her tone serious.

"Then what is it?" Santana asked. The other girl just sighed deeply and shrugged.

"We are just looking out for you and her Santana." Mercedes smiled sadly at her and left the Latina wondering what the hell was that about.

Brittany was walking down the street in the pouring rain and almost freezing to death. At least she was half way to her aparment, so she would hopefully make it in 10 minutes or so if her legs don't give out on her.

She regrets not bringing her bike to school today.

The sound of a honk startles her and make her body and mind freeze for a few seconds before she realizes where she is and turns in the corolla's direction.

Santana Lopez opens the passenger and door tells her to get inside. Brittany takes a deep breath and ignores her, walking a few steps before being disturbed by another honk.

After the third, the car parks next to her and the Latina comes out with an umbrella in her hands.

"What the hell is your problem with me?" The brunette angrily asks, using the umbrella to protect them both from the heavy rain. Brittany ignores her again.

"Look I'm just trying to help you out, but it seems you prefer to die in here instead!" Her chocolate eyes boil with anger.

The blonde sighs.

"It's not you okay...I just... I don't like riding cars at all." Brittany looks into her eyes, her expression sincere. Santana only stares in confusion.

"We can just stay inside of it...Please. I can't leave you freezing in here. It's been 2 minutes and I feel like a Popsicle already." She pleads.

Brittany nods.

They both get in the car and stay in an awkward silence for about five minutes when Brittany decides to speak.

"Why did you help me?" She asks, staring at the cars window with a bored expression.

"I was returning the favor."

Brittany chuckled. And then more agonizing 10 minutes of silence.

"Why do you avoid me like I'm the plague?" Santana asks with a hint of hurt in her voice. "I've been trying to be your friend since day one."

Brittany looks at her in the eyes and gives her a sad smile.

"Because... you Santana...You have the prettiest smile I've ever seen." She says softly and leaves the car before Santana can say anything. She only watches in confusion and awe as the blonde walks away from her in her soaked clothes. She sighs.

And for the second time she is left alone thinking about the mystery that is Brittany Susan Pierce.
