1. The jocks are pushing Rachel into the Port-A-Potty that sits on the construction site of the new pool – that isn't on top of the roof, which will ruin the whole "pool on the roof, tickets are $5" prank Santana and Puck pull on the freshmen. Santana feels bad because she values teamwork and technically she and Rachel are on the same team, so she stops the hockey team just before they push it over. Nothing wrong with scaring her a little. She and the jocks are gone by the time Rachel cautiously opens the door and exits, wondering why she isn't covered in disgusting human waste yet.
2. She takes the slushy out of Karofsky's hand with a flirty grin. She really did want a slushy, to be honest, and she tells herself it's not at all that she wanted to spare Rachel. God, she wants sugar so badly when she's PMSing, but Miss Sylvester would outright murder her, and snatching a slushy meant for someone's face is the only way she's likely to get a sugar fix right now. It was not, she repeats, because she feels bad for Rachel Berry.
3. She's ready to admit she feels bad for Rachel when she's handing her a t-shirt. Rachel's white blouse is covered in grape slushy and Santana wouldn't let any girl walk around school in a wet, white t-shirt with the pervs (read: Puck) that go to this school. And I mean, Miss Sylvester has come clean about taking pity on the Glee Club last year... Why shouldn't Santana take pity on Rachel?
4. Then when she invites Rachel over to hang out with her, Quinn, and Brittany on Saturday after her and Finn crash and burn again, it's mostly that Finn is just a heart breaker (and who knows why? He's not that hot and he's really not that good in bed, and in the size department, he's barely average) and Santana knows how it feels (because he's sweet and cute and he tries so hard but always fails, and then tries even harder to make her – er, wait, RACHEL, happy).
5. Puck's hitting on Rachel and Santana gives him this disgusted look. This is something she'd do for anyone in this situation, because not only is he taking advantage of her being brokenhearted, "he's got herpes," Santana informs her, while Puck turns purple and splutters. "And probably half a dozen other STDs."
1. Rachel doesn't know what she's done, and Santana is not going to thank her, because she's not sentimental, and if Rachel doesn't know, Santana doesn't have to show her gratitude. Santana is having the worst day of her life. No one will look at her – Miss Sylvester caught her drinking a Pepsi before practice (freaking PMS), she accidentally said something mean to Brittany (who isn't talking to her now and just cries while Quinn awkwardly pats her head), and no one else likes her because she's such an intolerable bitch. And she's somehow gained five pounds, and she's terrified Miss Sylvester will find out about it and make her run suicides for an hour. Rachel doesn't even seem to sense anything out of the ordinary about moving her purse off the empty seat next to her in Glee when Santana walks in and every other seat is taken. Santana slides into the seat and feels her eyes burning a little, but she doesn't cry.
