I stand there for a few seconds and brace myself unsure what I'm going to face. I open the door to his office and find a man sitting behind his desk. Curly brown hair which looks kinda greasy if you ask me and a bum chin that could use its own toilet, but hey who am I to judge.
Its really quite warm in here, he's definitely got the heating or something on and I don't know why. I heard English weather was notoriously shitty but it's not been too bad so far, today the suns shining and its pretty warm that's why that girl was wearing those cut off denim shorts that showed her amazing legs. Stop Lopez. Stop thinking about that girl, that girl who am I kidding, her names Brittany.
Mr Schuesters voice brings me out of my thoughts "Take a seat Ms Lopez, now let's get straight to business, you're new to England yes?"
"Yep fresh from Ohio"
"Well things here are a lot different from what you're used to I'm sure, for starters Redhill Community College definitely is what you Americans would call a college, so ignore the college in the name. We're a secondary school, that means we cater for 11-18 year olds, those 16-18 like yourself are in the sixth form. So you'll be doing four lessons, which I see you've already picked from your form Law, Biology, Economics and Chemistry. You don't want to change anything do you, lessons wise?"
"Ermm no"
"Okay great, Brittany outside needs to talk to me, so we're going to have a chat so if you wait out there while we do. Then she'll take you to see Emma the Sixth Form secretary to get your timetable and you can get started straight away. Okay?"
"Yeah sure that's fine"
I stand up and walk from his office.
"He wants to talk to you now"
I say to that girl, that girl named Brittany. She strolls past me not before smiling again and as she does I can't help but catch another glimpse of her bum in those shorts. Okay, things here definitely aren't going to be horrendous. Only have to do 4 lessons that seems easy enough, Brittany's showing me to Emma to get my time table that's a bonus.
"Hey, Santana are you ready to go see Emma?"
Her voice brings me out of my thoughts and she knows my name. Okay Mr butt chin in there probably told her but I like the way it sounds coming from her mouth.
"Y-Yeah sure"
Oh god, what's with me? Stuttering Lopez not cool. I follow her through the door, down a corridor with pictures lining it, with some students I'm assuming dressed up. Brittany's in one of them, she looks hot there too, great if she looks hot in everything I'm going to have to find out if she's gay. Either so I can give her some of the Santana charm or get over this crush now. Did I just say crush, it's not a crush she's said all of 10 words to you it can't be a crush. Well whatever this is can't be happening I don't do blushing or stuttering or stammering of any kind. I am confident and cool and need to show people here that, I'm not having any homophobic ass trying to mess with me. We walk through to more sets of double doors and she stops at a door a few doors down the corridor.
"Okay here we are"
"Thanks Brittany"
That's better that sounded confident. She stops me before I go in. I turn and smile at her.
"I'm showing you around for the rest of the day. So I'll be waiting here for you. Not stalking or anything I'm not crazy. So like I said waiting here"
"Okay sure, not stalking me Brittany"
That's better definitely confident, and was she rambling a bit there it felt like she was. Okay my charms coming back to me, good. I walk into her office, wow this place is neat, she clearly very organised. She mustn't have heard me come in with her back still to me.
"Excuse me, Miss I'm here to collect my timetable"
"Oh hello, I'm Emma; everyone calls me Emma even the students. You're time table you say, what's your name?"
"Santana, Santana Lopez"
"Well hi, I've got it right here Mr Schuester rang me to print it off. So here's your timetable and here's your contact book. There's a page at the back to write your lessons on. We have two separate weeks here. So week A your lessons will be ordered in one way and week B they'll be ordered another. The rest of it's to write down any homework you get. Okay have you got that?"
"Yeah, sounds simple enough to me"
"Well then off you go, you have 10 minutes left before lessons start"
"Ermm thanks"
How they do things here is abit strange but whatever. I'm just going to have to get used to the way English people do and say things. I walk out of Emmas office and there she is standing against the wall, waiting for me, Brittany.
"Hey not stalking me Brittany, I'm all finished in there so what do we do now?"
"Oh hey, well we've got like 10 minutes so why don't we go to the common room, you can write your timetable in and we can see what lesson you've got first"
"Common room?"
"What don't you have those in America? Well it's a place for just sixth formers, no teachers none of the little students just us. It's got soft chairs table, computers a fridge and a microwave. Follow me and I'll show you"
We go through more double doors, how many doors does a place need? It's just like what she said, chairs arranged into square shapes, computers over the other side of the room. She walks to the largest of the squares and stops.
"Hey guys this is Santana, she's from America."
She points to them each in turn. "This is Quinn" she looks up to smile at me her blonde bob shaking as she moves. "This is Rachel" Her brown head shoots up, god she's all penny loafers and white socks, white socks, does anybody wear white socks anymore? "This is Mercedes"
"Hey girl" Okay I think I might like her, she seems cool. "This is Puck" He's got a Mohawk that looks like someone's stuck a dead squirrel to his head, gross. "Hey sexy" He winks at me, okay he's got charm but unlucky for him I play for the other team. "And this is Kurt and Blaine"
"Heyy" Just as I suspected gay as a Christmas fairy. If they're cool with him, maybe they'll be okay with me and this won't turn into a hell hole.
"Okay take a seat and we'll look through your timetable to see what you've got first"
She smiles at me and pats the chair next to her. I sit down and look at my timetable again.
"Okay well its Monday, which could mean one of two things, I've got a free? Or I've got Law. Which isit then Britt?"
She smiles, im hoping at the fact I just called her Britt. I don't know why I did it, it just came out but it felt right. She leans over to glance at my timetable, mmm she smells nice kind of citrusy. Wait is that weird that I just smelt her. You know what I don't care I've done it now.
"Sorry to say, its week B this week so you've got Law"
"Ahh great no free time for me then"
"Nope sorry, but come on I'll show you where it is"
I'd be lying if I said I was upset about not having free time, because I'm not I'm sure it would've been awkward, me being the new girl and everything.
"You're in f11 for this lesson, I'll take you there and come back and meet you at the end"
"F11 what does that mean?"
"Oh sorry, all the rooms are numbered that way F stands for first floor and 11 is the number. F11 is down the languages corridor. If it was G11 however that would be downstairs in the humanities corridor"
"Ermm okay"
That's weird, but whatever I'll get used to it. She's really going to show me around all day, I thought she'd just ditch me at the first chance she got, that's what I'd have done.
