New Beginnings

Chapter One

Santana Lopez was at Principal Figgin's office. She sat bored waiting for her tour guide to show her around the school. The school didn't appear to be too hard to maneuver. "I could find my classes on my own," Santana pointed out to the secretary. The secretary did not respond to Santana's comment. Santana rolled her eyes.

At that moment, a tall blonde appeared. "Here I am!" said a bubbly blonde. The blonde noticed Santana. "You must be Santana. I'm Brittany. I will be your tour guide."

Santana raised her eyebrows. "Let's get the show on the road," Santana said. Santana got up.

"What show are we going to see?" asked Brittany with curiosity.

"No," Santana said. "Show me around the school." Brittany smiled. Brittany linked her pinky with Santana's. Santana was not used to the contact. They left the main office. Santana looked down at her schedule. "Do you know where my locker might be? Last thing I want to do is carry heavy ass books all day."

Brittany recognized the locker number. "Actually. It's next to mine. Yay. We're going to be locker neighbors." Brittany clapped.

Santana stared at Brittany and was wondering what made the girl tick. She didn't know warm and fuzzy, but Brittany certainly did.

Brittany went searching through her jean pockets. She found a folded piece of paper and picked it up. Brittany checked Santana's schedule comparing their schedules. "We have Spanish and lunch together. This is going to be so exciting." Brittany clapped excitedly.

Brittany looked around the hallway confused. "Uh oh," said Brittany.

"Is everything alright?" asked Santana.

"I… I drew a blank to where the classes are."

"It's cool. I could find…" Santana noticed the sad look appearing on the taller girl's face. "Is there any place you could remember?"

"Yeah. Follow me." Brittany and Santana were walking through the hallway.

Puck and Finn saw Santana with Brittany. "The new girl is hot," commented Puck. Finn nodded in agreement. "What is she doing hanging around Brittany?" Finn shrugged.

"I don't know," responded Finn. "I almost think they're friends."

Puck scoffed. "Brittany doesn't have any friends."

Brittany revealed to Santana the choir room. "I don't see you as the type of girl that sings."

"Not really. Just backup vocals and dance."

"Glee club isn't really my thing. I hear you have a kickass cheerleading squad."

"Oh yes. The Cheerios!" Santana smiled from Brittany's enthusiasm. "I used to be a Cheerio."

"Used to?"

"Yeah. It's tough, but I think you might like it." A short girl with brown hair walked into the room. She went towards Santana and Brittany.

"I'm Rachel Berry," said the girl. "I'm the leader of Glee Club and aspire to be on Broadway." Santana gave Brittany a confused look. She turned to look at Rachel.

"I say switch to decaf," Santana replied.

"I am naturally energetic," pointed out Rachel.

"Uh huh," said an unconvinced Santana.

"Are you interested in joining Glee? We're short on members.

"Gee. I can't imagine why," Santana scoffed. Brittany and Santana walked away.

Brittany and Santana headed to the gym. They witnessed the Cheerios doing a routine. Santana watched in amazement. The captain of the Cheerios Quinn Fabray headed towards them. "You shouldn't be in here. Cheerios only."

"I want to try out," Santana said.

"Wanting to try out is not enough. If you're serious about being on the Cheerios, you'll have to get rid of what's wrapped around your pinky." Santana looked down to see that her and Brittany's pinkies were still interlocked. Brittany released their pinkies.

"I'll leave you to try out," Brittany sighed. Brittany began to walk away.

"Wait!" said Santana. Brittany stopped in her tracks. "She was once a Cheerio."

"But not anymore. We need someone who's got a good head on their shoulders not trying to look for Waldo." Quinn snickered. Santana glared at Quinn. She went towards Brittany and reached for her pinky.

"Let's get the hell out of here," Santana said. Santana and Brittany left the gym.

"You didn't have to do that," pointed out Brittany.

"I know. But I wanted to." Brittany smiled. Santana returned the smile. The bell for first period rang. "I have to go find my first class. It was uh nice to meet you." Santana walked away. Brittany watched her leave.
