A/N: Thank you to those of you who read my first story. This is one I had written years ago but never got around to finishing because life got in the way. So I've decided to change it up a bit, make it Brittana and basically regurgitate it because I wanted to get to the end of it. It's all written in Santana's POV. If you read it then I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
"Santana, are you gonna come with us too then?"
"Huh? Come where?"
"Out. Tonight. It's Friday."
"Uh yeah sure Brittany, I'll come out." Truth is I don't really know Brittany, she's a casual friend from my science class who I talk to occasionally, I actually talk to and prefer her friends more so I guess I'll go out just to hang out with them. I found out one of my good friends Jess is also going so she'll make it worth my while.
"Santana, come on, you have to at least be sociable towards them, you can't just come here and chill with me, it's totally rude considering Brittany is the one who invited you out with them lot."
"Err whatever Jess, I totally can. Do I know her well? No. She's really in your face and smiley all the time. She just needs to calm down. You know I hate people like that."
"Okay, yeah I know, but at least go and dance with everyone. We are at a club afterall, and you do love to dance."
"Alright, come on then. But if they get in my face I'm out." So Jess drags me towards the dancefloor as I'm finishing my drink. Don't even ask how we managed to get in this club since most of us are 17 and the rest are 18, I do turn 18 a week from now, but I still don't look legal by a long shot, I guess being a babe pays off at times like these. Anyway we got onto the dancefloor and all start dancing together and after a few drinks I'm actually starting to enjoy myself, imagine that. The guys there loved it too seeing as I had a lot of them trying to dance with me and one full on kissed me, I went for it too...I was drunk.
As the club closed we all decided to go back and stay at Stacey's house as it was the closest to the club, I can't remember getting to her house or going to sleep but I woke up fully clothed sharing a couch with Brittany, I would love to know how that worked out seeing as I don't particuarly like the girl.
"Good morning Santana" she said in a far too cheery tone for this hour.
"Yeah hi, why are you next to me?" I said back.
"Well you came in and lay down on the couch and it was either I sleep in with you or I sleep in the bathtub, so guess which I chose." She did have a point.
"Fair enough." Everyone else started to wake up just about then because of our chat so we all started getting ready and then left because most of us didn't bother to tell our parents that we were staying out for the whole night.
We all had to catch the same bus home but my stop was one of the last ones so I was left on it alone, or so I thought, turns out Brittany doesn't get off until the last stop. She turns to me and says "I had a good time last night, did you?"
"Yeah it was cool," I say back sincerely "this is my stop coming up."
"You're a lot of fun Santana, here take my number and call me or text me whenever you want, I'd love to talk to you outside of class." She handed me her number written on an old recipt from her bag, flashed me a quick smile and I got off the bus. I'm so not getting in touch with her over the weekend, if she wants us to be friends she can wait until the weekend's over and we're back at school, I'm not reaching out to be friends with someone who probably won't be around for too long anyway. I guess we'll just see what happens at school, not that I care or anything, but god...that smile.
As I said, I wasn't going to contact Brittany over the weekend and I stuck to that. We spoke a little during our lessons together and I found out that she's in pretty much all my clases not just science. I never would have known because science is the only lesson I sit near her for. But in my other lessons I felt someone looking at me and I turned around and there she was, smiling as always. We then started talking in or on our way to most classes and we got to talking about the plans for my birthday for the weekend coming up. The same group of people that I went out with the previous weekend decided it'd be cool if we went to the same club again which I had no problem with. It was kinda cool that they wanted to go, you see I don't have too many close friends. People decide that I'm just good for a laugh but they get bored of me easily and move on soon after, I'm used to it by now so it doesn't bother me too much. I'm also going to bring a couple of my other friends along for my birthday, since I've known them since I started this school and they've been good to me.
The weekend of my birthday came and went pretty quick, we went to the club as planned and we all had such a great night. We had a few drinks and danced and generally had a laugh. One thing that I found out was Brittany had her first kiss that night, which suprised me because I guess guys would find her good to look at, but she's also quite innocent which intrigues me. Lord knows I'm not, I threw away my innocence a while ago. I don't know what it is about Brittany, but I found myself being drawn to her the whole night; making sure she was safe and the guys that were there weren't bothering her. I earned myself the nickname of 'Protector' but I don't mind it, something in me just wants to make sure she's safe and untouched.
All the girls stayed at my house that night and when we got in we grabbed something to eat. Myself and Brittany sat on the couch and laughed together at one of the girls having drunk too much and getting far too emotional for us all to handle. It was then I realised that there might be a friend in Brittany afterall. What's better to bring people together than laughter? Nothing, that's what. As for the sleeping situation, yet again I found myself sharing a bed with Brittany, but this time we stayed up until sunrise talking to eachother. Both of us giving eachother a glimpse of our lives, but at the same time not wanting to let the other know too much, not now. We then got some sleep and I woke up the morning of my birthday to her smiling face and sleepy eyes "Happy Birthday Santana" she whispered to me with a smile, and I couldn't help but smile in return. When everyone woke up we had water for breakfast to nurse our hangovers and then hung out for a bit, they then decided to leave to let me enjoy my birthday with my family. I never heard anything from them for the rest of the day, which was cool since I only saw them that morning, but before I went to sleep I decided to text Brittany.
{Hey Brittany, thanks for last night, I had fun partying and talking with you. We seem to becoming bunk buddies too often lol Oh it's Santana btw x}
A few minutes later I got a text back from her.
{Hey Santana, the pleasure is all mine. I'm glad I got to spend your birthday with you. I hope you had a great day and that I get to see you soon. Xxxx}
With that I was able to sleep with a smile on my face. This has been the best birthday I've had so far.
The next day Brittany texts me, much to my suprise.
{Morning Santana, I'm having some people round for dinner at mine tomorrow and I wanted to know if you'd like to come? Xxxx}
{Hey, thanks for the invite but I totally don't wanna impose on you and your friends, maybe I'll see you another time?X}
{No don't be ridiculous, I'd love to have you there and so would they so please come, everyone is also staying at mine afterwards so feel free to do the same if you'd like xxxx}
{Okay okay I'll come. I won't spend the night because I don't want to put you out, but sure I'll come for dinner. X}
This should be interesting, having dinner with a bunch of people I don't know all that well, but I had no excuse for not going so I had to right? Besides it'll be cool getting to see where Brittany lives and all, since she has been to my house, it's only fair. The next day Brittany texts me her address, which is walking distance away from my house, and the time to be there for. I quickly shower, throw on some clothes, pack my bag and leave. I get to her house wait outside for a few minutes, I have to ready myself before entering a situation way out of my comfort zone. I can hear noise inside so I ring the bell and wait to be let in.
