Unpopular Love
"Brett, good game Friday night."
"Way to go man."
"You're going to win us state this year for sure."
"I'm looking forward to you throttling Dalton this Friday."
Brett just smiles and nods as he makes his way down the hallway. Everyone has an opinion on his play every Monday after their game on Friday. You see Brett Pierce a senior at McKinley High School is the schools star football player. He's the quarterback and defensive back. He's been a starter since freshman year and has lead them to four straight district championships and they're two games away from the State Championship game. Everyone is sure that they'll win. Needless to say Brett is really popular.
"Hey Brett going to Puck's party next Saturday?" Quinn the head cheerleader says.
"Of course you know I never miss a good party." Brett says knocking into someone. "Sorry," he says bending down to help pick up her books.
Santana Lopez doesn't say anything. She just stares at him; none of the populars ever help anyone. Frankly it scares her that he's helping. She grabs her books and quickly leaves.
"Okay that was weird." Brett says to Quinn.
"What a nerd," Quinn says shaking her head.
"Do you know who that is?" Brett asks staring down the way she disappeared.
"No idea, she's just some nerd." Quinn says frowning when she notices that Brett isn't paying attention to her.
"She's very beautiful." Brett says smiling.
"Whatever Brett remember we have the social tomorrow." Quinn says leaving him standing in the hall.
Brett stands there staring until the warning bell goes off. Shaking his head he heads to his first class hoping that he sees that nerd again. She was so beautiful with brown soulful eyes hidden behind glasses. In the quick glance he got he has never seen anyone he finds more attractive.

Brett heads into his science class dreading it. He hates science with a passion, it's the one lass he really struggles with.
"Mr. Pierce late again." Mr. Garrett the Biology teacher says when he walks in.
"Sorry sir I couldn't find parking after lunch." Brett fibs.
"Well since you seem to always be late why don't you take a seat next to Ms. Lopez here in the front." Mr. Garrett says.
Santana glances up and is shocked to see the guy she literally ran into earlier. She had no idea he was in her Biology class, he just didn't seem like he'd be in the smart classes. When he walks over to her table she blushes and hides her face. She's a complete and utter nerd. She was popular in middle school, but her mother died the summer between eighth and freshman year. After that she threw herself into her school work becoming a nerd. She literally has no friends, just keeping to herself. That's the way she likes it being on her own.
"Mr. Pierce, Ms. Lopez you two will be partnered on this project and it will be about the human body." Mr. Garrett says. "You all have one week to complete your projects."
"Hey, I guess we should figure out when we're going to do this project." Brett says turning to face his partner.
"I'm free after school most days." Santana softly says.
"I have football practice until four thirty, but after that I'm free." Brett tells her.
Santana who is still hasn't faced Brett just nods.
"Well I guess we could meet up at four thirty, but where?" Brett asks.
"The library closes at four and we can't go to my house." Santana softly says finally turning to face him.
"We can go to my house." Brett offers staring at the beauty he ran into earlier. "If you want to wait here at school I can drive us." he offers.
"That sounds good," Santana softly says.
"Cool I'll meet you outside of the gym." Brett says getting up to head to his next class.
"Okay," Santana softly says as he leaves.
She stares after him shocked that she actually has to work with someone on a project. Most of the time teachers just let her do any projects alone. This is the first time in two years she actually has to work with someone. And just her luck she has to be partnered with the most popular, hottest guy in the school.

"Brett man what's the hurry." Puck says as he rushes off the field.
"I'm meeting my partner in Biology in five minutes to work on a project." Brett says.
"Who is it? Do I know them?" Puck asks.
"No you don't," Brett says noting wanting to say anything else about her.
"Come on you know I'm going to figure it out eventually." Puck says jogging to keep up.
"Puck please just leave it I really need to do well on this project or I might not be able to play next week." Brett says stripping as soon as he enters the locker room.
He quickly showers and throws on a pair of jeans and white t-shirt. Sped walking out he spots Santana sitting under a tree reading a book.
"Hey San," Brett softly says walking over.
Santana looks startled at first when she hears someone call her, smiling as she sees Brett standing there.
"Hi Brett," Santana says closing her book.
"You ready to go?" Brett asks.
"Yeah," Santana shyly says as Brett holds his hand out for her to take.
She takes it and is surprised with how strong he is. His literally lifts her to her feet. She can't help, but smile at the fact that the most popular guy in school is being nice to her. They walk in silence to his truck each sneaking glances over at each other.
"Sorry if my truck's messy, I never really drive any girls around so I don't clean it out." Brett says as he opens the passenger side door.
"It's fine, I normally have to walk to anything is better than that." Santana says blushing at the fact that he's opening her door.
"I just feel bad that you have to sit in this mess. Quinn would kill me if she saw it." Brett says closing the door.
Santana's face falls cause of course this hot, popular guy has a girlfriend. She doesn't even know why she would ever think that she stood a chance with him. he's just being nice since they have to work together.
"It must be nice dating the head cheerleader." Santana says completely throwing Brett off.
"Quinn isn't my girlfriend; she's dating my best friend Puck. I don't have a girlfriend." Brett tells her after he gets in and starts the car.
"Oh," Santana says blushing.
Brett puts the truck into gear and starts driving. Focusing on the road keeps him from staring at the beautiful shy girl next to him. He doesn't know what it is, but something about the Latina next to him, he finds extremely attractive.
Santana takes the fact that Brett is driving to look at him. He's so attractive, she doesn't get why he doesn't have a girlfriend. She absolutely loves the mop of blonde hair that is never tamed and always seems to be in his eyes. She hates that it partly covers his amazingly blue eyes. His cheek bones, chin and nose all look like a greek god. She can tell he's really muscular. Everything about this guy screams out of her league, but she's holding out a little hope that he'll actually like her.
"So this is my house." Brett says pulling into the driveway of a huge white house.
"Wow it's big," Santana says noting they are in the really expensive side of town.
"Yeah my dad's a plastic surgeon and my mom's the mayor." Brett explains as they both get out of the truck.
"Wait your mom's Mayor Pierce?" Santana says stopping and staring at him.
"Yep, it's pretty cool having her as a mom. I also have a younger sister who's nine and a little brother whose six." Brett tells her.
"Are you sure it's okay if we work here?" Santana says nervous she'll disturb them.
"My mom will be thrilled that I'm being serious about Biology. It's the subject I struggle the most with. So I won't be much help, but I'll do whatever you ask me to." Brett says leading her in.
Santana smiles thinking this won't be so bad if he just follows what she tells him.
"Wow," Santana gasps walking into the grand entry that looks fit for a queen.
"Everything down here is grand and for entertaining." Brett explains leading her upstairs. "Mom! I'm home!" he shouts.
When there's no answer he shrugs and leads her up to his room.
"I guess no one is home." Brett says throwing his bag on his bed. "We can go work in the kitchen." he says noticing how uncomfortable she seems to be in his room.
"Okay, grab your laptop." Santana tells him.
Two hours later they have an outline of what they want to do when Brett's parents come home.
"Bretty!" his little sister Ruby shouts.
"Hey Ruby, Max, how are the two of you." Brett asks picking them both up and setting them in his lap.
"Who's that Bretty?" Max junior asks pointing at Santana across the table.
"That's my friend Santana; we're working on a school project." Brett says looking up at his parents.
"It's nice to meet you Santana. I'm glad that you've gotten him to take some school work serious." Mrs. Pierce says.
"It's no big deal; he's one of the only jocks who actually takes hard classes." Santana says smiling at the Pierces.
"We wouldn't let him slack." Mr. Pierce says. "I hope you're better at Biology than this one or you won't be getting an A." he adds looking down at their work.
"I get straight A's and with Brett's help I'm sure we'll get an A." Santana says wondering why they seem so hard on their son.
"Well we'll let you get back to work." Mrs. Pierce says.
"Sorry about them, they're just disappointed I'm not better at school. They're normally much nicer and warmer." Brett says.
"That's fine I should be getting home anyway." Santana says collecting her books.
"I'll give you a lift." Brett says.
"No it's fine I'll walk." Santana says. "Same time tomorrow?" she asks.
"Yes,"

Santana tries to sneak in, but her dad hears her.
"Where the fuck have you been?" Santiago shouts at his daughter.
"Working on a school project." Santana softly says casting her eyes down to the ground.
"I don't fucking believe you. You whoring around again?" Santiago shouts.
He takes another swig of his beer finishing it off and chucking it into a pile of empties. She gulps knowing he's really drunk and when he's drunk he's unpredictable.
"I wasn't I swear, I was working on a project." Santana says cowering as he slaps her across the face.
"Don't fucking lie to me girl." Santiago growls punching her in the gut. "Who were you with?" he growls.
"My partner Brett Piece, I was at his house working on the project I swear." Santana weakly says.
Santiago growls and gives her a kick in the stomach.
"If you end up pregnant your ass is on the street." he growls. "Now go make me dinner slut."
Santana struggles to get up as the last kick knocked the wind out of her. When she finally gets on her feet she quickly scampers into the kitchen to make him some dinner. She tries not to cry as she pulls out a steak for him. She hates when her dad drinks and gets drunk which is all the time, that's when he gets mean and hits her. The rest of the time he just ignores her which is what she prefers.
"How longs this "project" going to last?" Santiago asks standing in the middle of the kitchen entry way.
"The rest of the week, we have presentations on Monday." Santana softly says.
"Be home by six to make me dinner slut and remember if you get pregnant I'll kill the baby and kick you out." Santiago growls before heading back into the living room.
Santana sighs happy she doesn't have to deal with her father on this. That she can work on this project with Brett without worry at least until six.
