Guys this will be a AU story based on there 3 years at University. It's a story based on MY favorite characters so apologies if they aren't the friendships or relationships you know and love (majority will be). This will be a bumpy ride so if your not down for some drama, laughter and loss this isn't the place for you. But just know they'll be a happy ending no matter what.

All rights belong too FOX and GLEE I own nothing

"How much love, laughter and loss do two people have to go through to realize they were meant to be from the start."

Santana POV.

Today's the day; the day some people say your life becomes an adventure…actually no, no one says that, that's just me trying to persuade myself I've done the right thing by going too university. I'm 18 years old and I have no clue what so ever where my life is heading; like none. I know I don't want to go into the real world and work so staying in education is my only bet. Plus the more I think about it, it's a genius idea, I can just be drunk for the next 3 years and forget about everything and everyone. My life has pretty much been a roller-coaster; a roller-coaster of things that I've been through, put up with and seen, probably 80% being negative; but that's a story for another day.

Today I start university. I'm studying Performing Arts which will cover all things I secretly love singing, dancing and acting. Well it's clearly no secret I can sing, everyone that knows me or even of me knows I have one beautiful soulful voice, I'm just awesome really. But the dance and acting comes as a surprise too others.

As I pull up to the university gates I let out the biggest sigh, this couldn't look anymore cheesy. Lined up are stands of what looks like different clubs or activities ranging from sports too math geeks too gymnasts. Ohhh she looks hot; I thought to myself as this brunette chick walked past. Stop Santana, just stop. Get them thoughts out your head.

For the past few years I've always wondered why people make such a fuss about people's sexuality; like yeah it's a big part of who someone is but it shouldn't define who they are. We live in a generation where it's more accepting to be whoever you are but it still isn't right that people should be made to come out to their friends and families. Well this is a fine choice of words coming from myself because I would be the first too judge someone on their sexuality but I think that's just the cowards way of hiding who I really am. I think these doubts started back in high school when a tall, blonde and beautiful girl walked into science class. She was late; as we had already started on our task for that lesson, something stupid like testing what liquids react quicker with a bunsen burner too see what dissolved quickest; I don't even know I don't normally pay attention.

As the teacher spoke and asked her to introduce herself, I didn't hear anything. I just stared and stared and stared until my bitch of a friend, Quinn, nudged me. "Who'd have thought it would be a girl to leave one Santana Lopez speechless" smirked Quinn. "Oh shut it, Fabray."

"Why don't you go take a seat over there next too Santana, be nice Lopez" Shit that's me I thought.

As the girl sat down I literally froze, what on earth is wrong with me. She just stopped me functioning, like at all. I couldn't bring myself to talk or look at her. And she smelt freakin' awesome. I suppose I could always count on the wonderfully embarrassing Quinn too step in and help or make matters worse. She reached out across me with her hand out too blondie, "Hey I'm Quinn. And as the cats clearly got this one's tongue; this is Santana" she said pointing at me. "It's nice to meet you guys, I'm Britney." Quinn nudged me again as she whispered, "Pull it together bitch".

"Yeah, um, hi, pleasure to meet you" I choked out with a sniggered laugh from Quinn.

"The pleasures mine, Santana, right?" Brittany asked as she stuck out her hand for me to shake. "Y-Yeaah." In that moment she looked me straight in the eye and I don't think I've ever seen something or someone so breathe taking in my life. She had clear blue eyes that I felt like I could look into for a lifetime. Snap out of it Santana you're a bitch remember. I spent a good few minutes thinking of a bitchy remark too make or sarcastic comment but nope, nothing. Brittany really did leave me breathless. From that day on for the next year and a half Brittany had this effect on me and it just got more and more amusing for Quinn; but what surprised me more than anything was Quinn never had anything bad to say about it, nor take the piss. We spent our science classes during that time actually having a laugh or id take the mick out of everyone and everything except miss blue eyes, never her. I could never understand why though, I mean I spent my whole school life being a bitch, to put it nicely, too practically everyone. I slept with guy after guy and alongside Quinn was the top girl in school. But I could just never bring myself to be mean to her, what shocked me most was deep down I didn't want to be mean; in fact I felt a need to always protect her. Ultimately, I just felt like I always needed her around. But this one night it all dawned on me; this one night at Quinn's birthday. Quinn threw a massive birthday party at her mum's house for her 16th; everyone and anyone were there. Quinn was always known as a bit of a bitch but simply because she was just so outspoken. She spoke to everyone at school because of her position as head cheerio, people always wanted to be her friend. Her and I had always been friends, ever since we met when we were like 7 or something, she just got me, understood me and most importantly she never judged me.

As I was standing among our friends in Quinn's back yard I saw Brittany walk in. She was wearing a tight black mini skirt with a white heart top, knee high black socks and black heeled boots; she looked hot. But also so did our friend Mike who walked in with her. They both danced though so had bodies of 20 year old, toned and just, yeah, hot. I need a stiff drink I thought to myself. As the night went on we all danced, socialized and drunk a silly amount of alcohol; by 11pm you could say I was pretty smashed. "Truth or dare. Let's do thisss" Quinn shouted over to our group of friends. Me, Quinn, Mike, Brittany, Marley, Jake, Ryder and Kitty all sat round Quinn's overly sized swimming pool. "OK, OK this is how this games going down. Don't be pussy's ok, you get a dare you do it. Simple. Get a truth…don't lie" as Quinn said those last words she looked me straight in the eye. As the game went on Marley dared kitty too make out with the ugliest guy at the party, Ryder dared Jake too spend the rest of the party in just his boxers which was lame because he loved it and clearly so did most girls at the party and finally Mike had admitted to having a man crush on their science teacher, EW. It got too my turn and Mike went too ask me truth or dare but Quinn jumped in "I've got a dare for you missy" she said with that famous smirk "but you didn't even ask me truth or dare" I drunkenly slurred.

"Doesn't matter; this dare will give you the truth" I'm pretty sure there was some hidden meaning behind what Quinn had just said.

"I dare you, Santana Lopez, to kiss the hottest person sitting round this pool"

And right there I knew what Quinn was talking about. I didn't hesitate I didn't have to think about it, nothing. I stood up from where I was kneeling against the chair and walked over to Brittany. At that moment everyone else disappeared. It all felt like slow motion and I'm glad because it made the kiss seem like it lasted a lifetime. I looked her dead in the eye and just placed both hands either side of her face. Just as our lips connected she had a slight smirk on her lips, just a slight raise to the side of her mouth. I can't even begin to explain what that kiss felt like. Heaven, fireworks, like id kissed all these frogs in the past too lead me to this one kiss with Brittany. As we pulled away Brittany just looked at me and winked. I don't even think it's possible as I'm Latina but I blushed, something ridiculous. Everyone else was cheering and chanting and god knows what else.

"Please I beg you do that again" Jake shouted. Everyone went into fits of laughter. Quinn on the other hand just looked at me as if to say, see.

After that night I never saw Brittany again. She wasn't at school the following Monday, nor the one after that or after that. She was gone, for good. I think this is what left me with so many unanswered questions and doubts in my head. Quinn on the other hand had some weird theory that for whatever reason Brittany would walk back into my life for one reason or another. Or as she stated, "When two people are meant to be, they'll always find their way back home." But then again Quinn is pretty crazy like that. It's always been in the back of my mind about whom, ultimately, i'm attracted too. But for the time being i'm straight; that's how everyone else thinks of me.

Back to reality I suppose and unfortunately I'm still standing on this university campus. As i'm pulling my stuff out of the back of the cab I hear someone shout, "Suppp Bitchesss" that could only be one person and I'm not going to lie I'm so happy to see her.

"Quinn, what took you so fucking long?" I said kind of annoyed.

"Sorry girl had stuff to do, I was still doing the walk of shame an hour ago" Quinn said laughing.

"Jesus. You really will always be the slut won't you?"

"Oi" Quinn squealed hitting my arm.

"Come on let's go meet our roomies. I really don't understand why you couldn't have just shared a room with me Santana, save meeting some new weirdo"

"Number one reason being what you stated about two minutes ago, you'd be doing the walk of shame 24/7 so you won't be in your room anyway"

"That is true" Quinn laughed.

As I got in my room, number 502, there was no one there thank god. Hopefully this means I'm alone. They were pretty nice rooms to be fair, standard, but nice. As I was beginning to put my stuff away Quinn came walking into my room with the biggest grin on her face, "hey Quinn what dorm room are you?"

"512 but that doesn't matter right now you need to see this"

"See what Fabray? I'd rather put my stuff away, can't it wait" Quinn always hated unpacking she probably just wanted me to do hers.

"I'd rather say I told you so but I'm not going to be a complete bitch right now and just enjoy what's about to happen" she said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me out of my room.

"Woahh wait shut th…"

"Don't worry about the door sand bag's" ergh I thought.

"Seriously, what is that important Quinn that it couldn't wait like 5 minutes"

"Santana I want you to meet my rooma.."

"Your roommate Quinn, really? That's what couldn't wait, what's so specia…"

"Hi Santana" a voiced butted in. No wait! That isn't just any voice, that's the voice of so many of my questions.

"Brittany." I said shocked. "What are you doing here?"

fav, follow and review so i know what you guys think!

I have pretty much most of the story mapped out it'll just be a case of piecing it together as we go. :)

Just so you know every chapter will be a name of a song and will link too each chapter; you can also try listening too the song whilst reading the chapter.
