Chapter 1 - Crazy Kids
Santiago Manuelo Lopez was getting tired of all the attention. He knew being Captian of both the Soccer team and Football team was hard work. But he didn't know how hard this year was going to be. He had to keep at least a 3.8 GPA to stay on both teams. He was so exhausted that once he got home he just passed out. His mom was really worried about him. But she knew why he was stressing out. He also had dance classes and Glee Club after school. So he was extremly busy every single day.
It was thier Senior year and he was down right busy today. First he had Soccer training in the morning. Then he had Football practice after school. Dance classes on Mondays, Wedsnday's and Saturday's. Glee Club rehearsles on Tuesday's and Thrusdays. And Sunday he goes to church in the morning with Quinn and then around 1 he goes to Temple with Rachel and her dads. Friday's were basically his only free time. He would usually spend Friday's with Rachel. They'd either play video games or watch movies, sometimes talk about weither or not which college is right for the both of them.
Santiago and Rachel had been friends since Kindergarten. He would always smile on that day because it was his first friend in over the past three months he started Kindergarten. They basically did everything together. Dance, Glee, Video Games, Working Out etc. The only time they parted was when he had practices or when she had vocal lessons. But they spend basically every day together no matter how tired they are, they would always find the time to hangout with each other. They would usually be at one anothers house weither it was homework related or they just wanted to hangout and play video games. Sunday's is where there families would get together and eat dinner. So basically Sunday is family dinner with both Berry's and the Lopez's.
Santiago was in his room when he heard his door knock. He looked up from his desk to see who it was and smiled.
"Hey Rach. You ready to go?"
"Yup all set. Do I look okay?"
"You look great Rae."
"Thank you."
"Let's go. I don't want to be late."
They both gave each other warm smiles and finally headed to school. Santiago was always the driver because the way Rachel drives is not acceptable to him. The last time she drove his car, they had rearened principal Figgins. Which they both had gotten in trouble for. So as decided, Santiago was the driver to and from school. He felt bad because Rachel would always wait for him after Football practice, which she didn't mind really. Rachel knew how to keep herself from getting bored.
As they entered the school they headed towards Rachel's locker. They had chatted up about how they should do a duet together. He didn't think it'd be a good idea because he was afraid of what Finn might think, than she said who cares and blah blah.
"Look I just don't think it's a good idea."
"Why?"
"Cause you know how Finn is. He's always jealous of us because we've known each other longer."
"So what. I want to sing a song with my best friend. If he can't get that than where done."
"Rachel. I know you love him."
"Well my friends and family comes first. He comes last."
"Fine. I'll sing a duet with you."
"Yay! Alright so after Football practice. I'll figure a song we can sing together and than we can rehearse it at my house."
"Sounds good to me. But I refuse to do any Broadway songs."
"Fine. No Broadway."
"Thank you."
Around lunch, Rachel had decided to sit in the choir room to pracitce her song for Glee. She had to nail it or else she would be disappointed in herself for not giving a hundred and ten percent. She was doing vocal warm ups when she heard the door opening. She turned her head around to see who it was and smiled at the person who had came walking in.
"Hey San. I know I promised to eat lunch with you, but I had this song that I'm performing for Glee and I just... I need to get it right."
"No worries. Let's hear it."
"Right now?"
"Yup. What song is it? Maybe I can play it on the piano while you sing."
"Oh, you don't have to do that."
"I want to. What song is it?"
"Give Your Heart A Break"
"Alright."
He started playing the piano and Rachel sat by Santiago on the bench next to him, waiting for when she had to start singing.
The day I first met you, You told me you'd never fall in love
But now that I get you, I know fear is what it really was
Now here we are. So close yet so far
Haven't I passed the test. When will you realize
Baby, I'm not like the rest
Don't wanna break your heart,cWanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong, Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live, And there's no time to wait, to waste
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah
On Sunday you went home alone, There were tears in your eyes
I called your cell phone, my love, But you did not reply
The world is ours if we want it, We can take it if you just take my hand
There's no turning back now, Baby, try to understand
Don't wanna break your heart, Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong, Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to waste
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
There's just so much you can take
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah
When your lips are on my lips. And our hearts beat as one
But you slip out of my fingertips. Every time you run,
whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh
Don't wanna break your heart, Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong, Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live, And there's no time to wait, to waste
So let me give your heart a break,
(Let me give your heart a break)
'Cause you've been hurt before, I can see it in your eyes
You try to smile it away, some things you can't disguise
Don't wanna break your heart
Maybe, I can ease the ache, the ache
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
There's just so much you can take, Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break (your heart), your heart a break (a break)
Oh yeah, yeah
The day I first met you. You told me you'd never fall in love
As the song ended, both had starred at each other with a warm smile. They were sitting really close when Santiago had leaned in, Rachel leaning with him. They touch foreheads and there lips had finally meet. The kiss was slow but passionate. While they were kissing each other, they were letting hands roam around each other. Once they had broke apart, they both knew what they had done was a mistake. But the kiss really wasn't a mistake. Right?
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't... I shouldn't have done that."
"Santiago it's okay. I won't say anything if you don't."
"Okay. I am sorry Rach. I don't know why I did that."
"It's fine really. We were both just caught up in the moment."
"So were good than?"
"Were good."
Santiago didn't really know if this was a mistake or not. He didn't know what to think of that kiss. He really like it and he didn't know if Rachel did or not. He was really confused about his feelings for his best friend. He didn't know if he should tell her how he felt about it or just keep his mouth shut. Some day he will have Rachel. But sometimes, things take time...
