Hey new fanfic, let me know what you think:)

Don't own glee.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

'I wish we could turn this damn heart monitor off so you could get some rest' Maria cursed as she stroked a length of hair behind her daughter's ear. Her daughter smiled lightly as she took in an uneasy breath and closed her eyes.

'It's ok Mama, i'm used to it now, it actually helps me get to sleep...so soothing..' The dark haired girl said as she drifted in and out of sleep.

'Yes dear, close your eyes, your Abuela will be here any moment.'

'...Brittany...' the dark haired girl breathed as she heard a voice speaking to her.

'No dear, your Abuela, she will be here shortly' Maria corrected as she continued to stroke the hair off her daughters pale cheeks.

'Have you got everything dear, did you put your lunch in your bag, do you want me to come in with you?'

'It's ok mama, i have everything, i'll be fine' The dark haired girl stated with early confidence. Her mother just knew she was going to be trouble when she was older.

'Ok dear, well have a great first day back at school, and remember i will meet you right here when school finishes, ok right here under this tree...oh and..be good ok' Maria said as she gave her daughter a quick hug before she got back into her car for work. The dark haired girl just gave her mother an excited wave as she turned to start another year of school.

The girl found her classroom with ease and assigned herself a seat at the back of the class as she watched parent after parent cry their eyes out as they dropped their kids off, making sure that they were perfectly settled before kissing them goodbye. The girl just rolled her eyes thankful that her parents never acted that soppy. After about twenty minutes the crowd started to die down and the last of the parents left, not without a few more tears though. When everyone settled into their seats the flustered teacher finally took to the front of the class to begin the introduction to another year.

'Welcome back everyone, i trust you had a fun break yes?' there were cheers throughout the classroom. The dark haired girl stayed quiet as she watched the leaves rustle through the wind out of the side window. 'Excellent now for some exciting news, we have a new student with us this year, so Brittany would you like to come forward and introduce yourself to the class' the class fell silent in anticipation, but after a few moments still no one had come forward. The teacher looked around the classroom franticly. 'Brittany?...Oh dear i was only just speaking with her mother, um...ok excuse me class for a moment, Rachel you're in charge until i get back, everyone listen to what she has to say.' The class groaned in unison.

'Ok class let's start with our 6 times tables and – puck give Kurt back his hat!' Rachel started as she took centre stage.

The dark haired girl continued to gaze out the window when she saw a blonde girl out in the distance, the girl was jumping and running around laughing, dipping low then jumping back up in the air trying to reach something. The girl focused her gaze before she could just make out that the blonde girl was chasing after a butterfly. The dark haired girl found herself drawn to this other girl, what was she doing out there? Suddenly she saw her teacher race over to this girl. They exchanged a few words before they both began walking back to class. The blonde haired girl looked sad she couldn't play with the butterfly any more.

Moments later the teacher and the girl made it back into the classroom.

'Thankyou Rachel, you may take a seat now' Rachel hesitantly made her way back to her seat in the front row. 'Class, this here is Brittany Peirce.'

'Hey everyone' Brittany chirped as she balanced her back pack on her thumbs.

'Brittany why don't you take a seat' Brittany nodded cheerfully and walked straight past where the teacher had gestured towards and headed to the back of the class, taking the one spare seat next to the dark haired girl. 'Ok then class why don't we get started'

The dark haired girl looked uneasy over towards Brittany who had instantly started scribbling in her note book. Moments later a small piece of folded paper landed on the girl's desk. She looked up at Brittany who just smiled at her. The girl took the piece of paper into her lap before unfolding it.

Hi, I'm Brittany, what's your name?

Ps do you like ducks?

The dark haired girl looked back at the other girl who had her focus on the teacher before writing her reply, and then sliding the note across to her desk.

Santana. Yes i do.

Brittany just smiled as she read the note before she turned her attention back to the teacher. Santana shook her head in disbelief before she turned her attention back to the rustling leaves outside the window.

At lunch time Santana found herself sitting alone on the top of the jungle gym eating her cucumber sandwich and watching her classmates play beneath her. She never really was one for their games, she much preferred sitting over everyone and laughing when they fell over.

'Hey' she turned to see Brittany climbing towards her.

'Hi' Santana said back as Brittany took a seat beside her, a little shocked that someone had dared talk to her.

'Don't you want to play?'

'No'

'But it's so much fun!' Brittany explained excitedly. Puck had suggested a game of kiss chasey, basically just so he could kiss all the girls on the cheek.

Brittany looked sad before her frown turned into a smile and she grabbed Santana's sandwich from her hands and jumped from the jungle gym. 'Come on, if you want your sandwich back you will have to catch me!' Santana sighed before she jumped off the gym and chased after this thief. She really was enjoying that sandwich, it wasn't often her mother actually bothered making lunch for her, usually she would try for the first couple of weeks of the year and then it would slowly go downhill until she would be given lunch money as she walked out the door.

'Britt wait up' Santana called as she chased Brittany between trees and around the playground before she finally cornered her in the tunnel that ran off from the monkey bars. Brittany was heading through the tunnel and Santana jumped over the top and caught her on the other side before she could escape. 'Gotcha!' she said as she blocked the exit. Brittany handed Santana back her sandwich in a fit of laughter, which made Santana realise that she was laughing too.

'Ok you got me, here's your lunch. You are so fast!' Brittany beamed as she climbed out of the tunnel. Santana just laughed in response as she tried to catch her breath. 'You ok?'

'Yeah just a bit out of breath'

'I like you' Brittany said with a genuine smile. Santana was startled but thought about this for a moment. This girl seemed so odd to her, maybe it was because she was the first person in a long time to actually try and talk to her, or make her laugh for that matter.

'I like you too' she finally offered.

Brittany's smile grew with this exchange and before long Santana's smile grew with hers. Suddenly Brittany leaned into her and placed a quick kiss on her cheek. 'Tag, you're it!' Brittany said and ran off in the opposite direction before the girl even had time to respond. Santana ducked her head as she felt her cheeks blush.

When school finished for the day Santana waited under the assigned tree for her mother to pick her up, and when she went to bed that night she slept with a smile on her face as she thought about the very odd girl she had met at school, and she thought that maybe for once in her life, she could have a real friend.

It only took a few weeks for the two girls to become the best of friends. Santana usually had a very short attention span when it came to people, she either hated them and didn't put up with anything they said, or she liked them and would tolerate what they said. However, with Brittany everything seemed different. She liked Brittany but she didn't just tolerate the things she said, she actually looked forward to their lunchtime discussions and note passing in class. Most of the things that came out of Brittany's mouth were so out of place and random, it took all of Santana's concentration to just keep up with the blonde, she found herself wanting to know everything that she was thinking. She had found out that Brittany was a year and a half older than she was, apparently the blonde had moved from school to school in hopes that one teacher could get through to her and understand how she learnt and took in information. This made Santana feel better that the girl was taller than she was, and she also looked up to her, like she already knew all the answers of the world.

What are you thinking about? Santana wrote on a piece of paper before she placed it on Brittany's desk. Brittany read the note and immediately wrote back.

Kittens:)

Santana couldn't help but laugh as she read this and she gained a glare from the teacher.

Kittens? She passed the note back and received it again a moment later.

Walk home with me tonight?

Santana didn't really understand how this answered her kittens question but she figured it was just Brittany being her usual random self, so she wrote back.

Sure:)

That afternoon the two girls waited at the usual tree outside of the school for Santana's mother. When her car pulled up Santana walked up to the window before her mother could get out.

'Hey Mama, this is Brittany, can i walk her home and play there for a while? I'll be home before dinner, promise.'

Maria looked Brittany up and down before she eventually agreed. 'Ok but if you are one minute late, so help me god Santana – '

'I won't be, thanks Mama' Santana said already turning to walk with Brittany.

The girls walked for a few minutes before Brittany held out her pinkie for the other girl to take. Santana just smiled at the gesture and looped her pinkie through the blonde's. Soon enough they made it to Brittany's house. They walked through the front gate as Brittany led the other girl straight through the house and out into the back yard.

'Where are you taking me Britt?'

Brittany didn't reply she just kept leading Santana until they reached a small shed at the back of the yard. Britt opened the shed door to expose a basket with a small lone kitten in it. The kitten meowed as it recognised the blonde.

'Kitten' Brittany explained. Santana just nodded her head in adoration as she awed.

'It's so cute...and chubby' she said as she picked the kitten up and felt the weight of it.

'Our neighbours cat had a litter of them but she's always working because she's a nurse so i said i would look after them and find them all a home, and now there is just one left and i don't want to give it away...i want to keep it'

'Do your parents know you still have it?'

'No they think i got rid of them all' Brittany said with a sad smile. 'i really want to keep him...i already named him'

'yeah?'

'Yeah...Lord Tubbington' Santana laughed at the name, it was so...Brittany. 'Want to play with him before Mom gets home?'

'Absolutely!'

The three of them played for nearly an hour, chasing Lord Tubbington and then letting him chase them. They ran around in tight circles laughing and then turning to run the other way, rolling on the ground and pretending to pounce at the kitten. After a while they had been running so fast and laughing so hard that Santana started to have trouble breathing, she was rolling around on the ground when suddenly she couldn't control her breathing at all. She started gasping for air and Brittany rushed to her side not knowing what was happening.

'What's happening?' Brittany asked in a panic

' i...can't...my hearts beating so fast'

Santana was clutching her chest as she looked to Brittany for help. Showing with her eyes how scared she really was, it was something she had never shown before. Brittany took the other girls hands from her chest and intertwined their fingers.

'San, look at me ok, breathe...slowly, like this' Santana mimicked Brittany's breathing but still held panic in her eyes.

'What's your favourite colour?'

'What...ah red'

'Do you think Puck is ever going to get that Mohawk he is always talking about?'

'What.. i don't know Britt, what are you doing?' Santana was getting increasingly frustrated, her breathing was not slowly and her heart was pounding against her chest.

'I'm trying to distract you from what's happening'

'Well it's not working!' Santana snapped back

'What do you think i would look like bald?'

'Britt!'

Brittany was running out of ideas. Her friend was still desperately struggling to breathe. How could she make her calm down? Suddenly a light bulb went off in the blondes head. Back when they had first met she kissed her on the cheek and the only thing the dark haired girl could do was stand still in silence for a few seconds, her mind clear. Brittany placed her hands on Santana's cheeks, she pulled her in closer and pressed her lips firmly against the others. She held them there for what felt like minutes before she could no longer feel a struggle of air escaping beneath them. She parted to look back at Santana's face which was now calm and expressionless. Her chest was no longer heaving in desperation and her breathing was almost back to normal. She did however notice her reddened cheeks and wide eyes.

'Are you ok?' Britt asked

'...Yeah, yeah thanks' Santana said back still in shock.

'Brittany...Brittany where are you – oh darling there you are, is this a new friend?' Brittany's mother came through the back door to greet the girls.

'Mom, this is Santana' the dark haired girl quickly tried to regain her thoughts.

'Nice to meet you dear' Brittany's mom smiled.

'...Yeah' she breathed

'Brittany...i hope that's not a kitten i see in your lap' Her mother said with a smile.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

'I can't believe your mom let you keep Lord Tubbington, my mom would never let me have a pet'

'I know it's great, and last night i found out his favourite colour is red, just like you San'

Santana didn't even question Brittany's comment, she just nodded with a smile. The girls were sitting back on the top of the monkey bars like they did most lunches, they talked about kittens, rainbows, and how excited Brittany was to get her letter back from Hogwarts. Santana never told anyone about her attack she had at Brittany's, her father was a doctor and she knew he would over react and make her go to the hospital which she dreaded so much. Ever since she was a small toddler she would cry whenever her father tried to take her to work. Something about the place just made her sick to her stomach. The two girls decided to keep it their little secret.

The bell sounded for the end of lunch. Santana turned to Britt before jumping off the bars.

'Ready?' she asked. Britt looked at her with a smirk.

'Set, go!' she said as she jumped off the bars and ran to class. The dark haired girl just smiled after her.

Hey i just met you and this is crazy but here's my fanfic so review me maybe:)
