'Thank God I don't have class today' I thought to myself as I got out of bed. A month into college and things are looking pretty good. My schedule is pretty much free after 4, which is amazing considering that's when everything happens.
Checking my phone, I respond to the typical 'I miss you' messages, before plugging it back up. Putting on some shorts and lose fitting top, I throw my hair into a bun.
"Hey, where are you headed?" my roommate Quinn asked me as I placed my book and laptop in my bag. The first time we met, we hated each other, but that was only because we were so much alike. Now she is my closest friend here.
"Its a nice day out, so I'm going to finish up some homework out on the lawn. Are you staying in?" I question her back. She nods her head, before grabbing her bag and heading towards the shower. "For right now yeah, I might meet you out there when I'm done" she replies.
I shake my head and smile, before picking up my back pack and making me way outside. It wasn't to hot, but it wasn't to cool either. It was just right. Putting the sunglasses on my face, I walk towards the small oak tree off to the side of the lawn. It was my favorite spot. People rarely walk over her and its has a nice view of the campus. Resting up against the tree I get my book out and start reading.
I was taking an introduction class to political science. It was pretty interesting, but a lot of reading. I don't really mind though. Knocking out 2 chapters in 30 minutes, I put the book down and open up music maker.
This is really my passion, I love putting different beats together. It's a stress reliever. Starting a new project I jumpr right into the music, letting it take over.
Looking up, I notice a cute blonde starring at me. I smirk down at my computer before continuing working. Getting immersed in the music again, I didn't even notice that the girl had walked over and plopped down right in front of me.
"Hey" she nearly yells. I barely hear her over my headphones. "Oh sorry. What's up?" I reply, before taking the headphones off my ears, and pausing the music.
"I noticed you sitting over here by yourself. You looked a little lonely, so I decided to come over here and keep you company" she explains herself. I smile, because she looks so adorable.
"Thank you, that's awfully sweet of you. My name is Santana" I reach my hand out, and she takes it immediately. "I'm Brittany"
I nod, repeating the name in my head loving the way it sounds. "Well Brittany, I'm just about done here, would you like to get coffee with me?" I ask going out on the limb. My gaydar is a little off, but she had to be interested if she came over to talk to me.
She nods her head before getting up. I save my project before shutting my laptop and putting it into my backpack. She reaches out her hand to help me up. I smile before taking her hand in my own and standing up.
Expecting her to let go when I got on my feet, I glance down when she didn't. Loving the way our hands fit together. Walking towards the Starbucks on campus we talked about everything. I found out she doesn't have a favorite color because she wants all the colors to feel equal, she is a dancer, and she is majoring in physical therapy.
"So are you a freshman?" I ask as we paid for our coffee. She nods her head, before pointing her finger up. Confused, I actually look up. She laughs a little before mumbling sophomore. I laugh with her finally understanding what she meant.
"Are you a freshman?" I nod my head before taking a sip of my drink. "Where are you originally from?" I ask. "I'm from Cali. I feel like this is the best place to be if you are dancer." I nod my head because she is right, not that I know a lot about dancing.
"Where are you from?" I look at her "I'm from Florida" we continue walking in silence. Not awkward silence, but comfortable silence. Our hands occasionally grazing each other, sending butterflies into my stomach.
"What time is it?" she asks. I look down at my watch. "It's a little after 4" I reply before checking my phone. I notice a message from my ex, I roll my eyes before placing it back into my pocket.
"I hate to leave, but I have cheer leading practice in a few." I nod my head, looking down to hide the disappointment. I really didn't want her to leave. "Hey, what are you doing Friday?" she questions. I look up before shaking my head. I didn't really have anything planned other than bug Quinn till she takes me to movies or something.
"You should come to a party with me" her smile bright enough to light the night sky. "Sure, is it okay if I bring my roommate? I don't want to leave her on her own." I ask, hoping she would say yes. She nods before jumping up and down. I laugh, she is so silly.
"Okay, I really have to go. Here, put you number into my phone" she hands me her phone and I quickly put it in before giving it back. She smiles and I smile softly back.
"It was great meeting you Santana" she says with a small smile. "It was great meeting you too Brittany" I reply with the same smile.
She reaches her hands out and I quickly take it. Letting our hands linger longer than necessary, she pulls me into a hug. Her arms going around my neck, and my hands finding a comfortable spot on her waist.
Burying my face in her neck, I inhale deeply. Gosh she smells so good. It's hard to believe I just met this girl a few hours ago. Stepping back she keeps her hands around my neck, my hands still on her waist.
"See you later?" she asked with uncertainty. I smile and nod before dropping my hands. Turning towards the direction of the field she walks away, but not before a glance back and a small wave. I wave back before turning around and heading back to my dorm.
I smile softly to myself. This is going to be a good year.
