Lima, Ohio, 2012: Graduation Day, Brittany's POV

She can't believe it's actually here. Graduation. Looking back at her senior year and how it played out, she honestly can't believe she made it. She was so close to failing the twelfth grade she can't help but release the sigh of relief she wasn't aware she was holding. "You look so beautiful, B," she hears from behind her. But she doesn't have to look to know who it is. "Thanks, San." Santana Lopez, one of the best things that ever happened to her. She wished so badly that Santana was graduating with her this year but what can you do…

...*...*...

It was everything she hoped it would be. Graduation was great. She's never felt anything like the feeling she had when she looked across that stage, Puck, Finn, Rachel, Mike, Mercedes, Kurt, and Quinn all smiling back at her, and looking out into the crowd and seeing her family...seeing Santana. They all look so proud, she thought. They never stopped believing in her, even when she didn't believe in herself. She feels so happy, and so fuzzy, and especially so loved when she gets off the stage. The way Santana looks at her, the way she hugs her. It feels like she's climbed the tallest mountain or something cheesy like that.

When they get back to Santana's house that night, it's just the two of them. Of course, in true 'home-alone' fashion, they have mind-blowing sex and Brittany can't help but feel like each kiss Santana drops on her body is telling her how proud the Latina is of her. This was the best day of her life so far, Brittany thinks. Little does she know, tomorrow will be one of the worst.


Lima, Ohio, September 2012: Santana's POV

This is it. Her senior year. She's been waiting for this year for, like, ever. And it has been a long time coming. She's prepared to kick this year's ass and get out into the real world. She has her glee club, National Champions, her friends, the best people she knows, and she's even considering rejoining the Cheerios. This has the potential to be a good ass year, she decides. Despite the lack of company from a certain blonde of course, but she's not gonna ruin the mood. This is it, it's go time, senior year, and she's gonna be the head bitch at McKinley. It doesn't get any better than this right?

Turns out, the first day of senior year is no better than any other first day she's ever had in her life. Walking into the school this morning was a rude awakening to the fact that yes, she has to spend another entire school year here, and with these people, and without Brittany, but she's not gonna let her thoughts drift in that direction. She can't figure out why Lady Hummel has been wandering the halls of McKinley all day though. If she were him, she would have taken the first flight out of Lima but hey, that's his business.

All of her classes were excruciatingly boring and she actually found herself looking forward to the glee club meeting this afternoon. As she walks into the choir room, a flood of memories overwhelm her. Some welcome, some not-so-much, but either way they were there. And there were her friends. Blaine, looking spiffy, although she would never admit as much if he asked her opinion, and Sam, with his trouty mouth lips, unreasonably puffy today, more than usual which shocked her, were sitting near the piano talking animatedly about something that she had absolutely no interest in. On the other side of the room Tina, Artie, Sugar and Baby Jesus Joe are sitting and talking so she decides to join.

They begin catching up on their summers and she is suprised to hear that the Chang Duo broke up, she was sure they were going to last. The conversation then heads in a more lighthearted direction and they inform her that Wade-Unique has joined the choir and they will also be holding auditions today. She sort of tunes out when Tina starts going on about being "The New-Rachel," or something like that, although she can't figure out why she's wasting her breath since Santana is going to be dominating the solos this year, but she'll let Tina have her moment. When Mr. Schue walks in she's reminded of how much she dislikes him, but she really did miss him. It's a love- hate kind of thing.

...*...*...

She gets home and plops face first on to her bed. Auditions were longer than she would have hoped but she can say there was some good talent there. That Marley girl has a nice voice, and there was that Jake kid who sounded good, but his temper is a risk factor is you ask her.

Either way, she's glad it's over. She had forgotten how exhausting going to school was, and she's definitely not looking forward to being exhausted for the rest of the year. She's trying to decide what made her so damn excited for her first day this morning when she feels her phone buzz from her nightstand.

Heard today was the first day of school. Hope u had a good one San.

She contemplates not even replying at first, but settles on a quick, "Thanks, B" and hurriedly rolls over to fall asleep before she can be pulled in by another text.


So, I hope you guys felt okay about this. The first chapter is pretty light but I intend for this story to be rather angsty and more serious as it gets deeper into the chapters. Once again, I hope you enjoyed it. Review and comment! -K
