Next Day:

My god, were you and Rachel having a rave last night?

Why on earth would you think that? 0:)

Oh don't even try that.

We may have had a few mutual friends over. But it was in no way a rave.

You were blasting music until 2am! I'm surprised the RA didn't bust you guys.

The RAs on our floor may have been in attendance…

Geez kid! What did you do to Rachel Berry and how did you do it? 'Cuz you're a miracle worker.

What, was she really uptight in high school?

Uptight? That girl was the definition of stick up the ass.

Haha. I guess her summer up here mellowed her out. I also think she's in love with that Quinn Fabray girl she talks to every day.

Berry? In love with Q? No way! That girl is crazy for Finnept Hudson.

Who?

Finn Hudson.

Again…who?

You don't know who Finn is?

No. Should I? You seem quite surprised that I don't know of him…

Well yeah! She was supposed to marry the guy back in June! It's only September! I figured she'd still be pining over him.

Rachel was engaged? Less than 4 months ago? How could she not have told me that. That's kind of a big deal!

I'm just as surprised as you are Sanchez. Trust me.

How do you know my last name Lopez? :)

;) I can stalk just as well as you chica.

Creeper.

You like it.

Maybe a little… :) You could have come to our party last night. The door was open. All night. Just for that purpose. I had been hoping you would come by.

I prefer to do my investigating on the internet, not in person.

Find anything interesting?

Did you know that like, your entire life's story is on the internet?

I did. I have googled myself. Especially after my dad's trial and my hospital release, but since you did your homework, tell me about myself.

Well, you're from St. Louis, MO, went to a HS called Visitation Academy, you skipped third grade and actually graduated a year ago in 2011, but waited to come to college for a year to deal with your dad's trial and help your brother and sister get ready to move to New Haven with your aunt and uncle (which you didn't mention yesterday). You have four siblings. Cameron, 24, in Afghanistan in the US army, Meghan, 21, a senior at UCLA on scholarship, Kyle, 13, a freaking genius, sophomore at St. Bernards boarding school in New Hampshire on scholarship, and Emily, 8, cute as a button at Stratford Elementary in the third grade. Your mom died in 2008 of leukemia, and that's when your dad snapped. He took it out on Meghan for a few months before she moved to LA less than a month after her graduation. You went through your entire junior and senior years dealing with your dad. Keeping him away from Emily and Kyle by sending Kyle to that boarding school, and locking the door to Emily's room every night with a key lock because your dad was always too drunk to figure out to look for a key, and after your dad would beat the crap out of you, you'd lock yourself in her room with her and hold her while she cried. And then you'd go through it all again the next day. After that for 2 years, your dad raped you right after your graduation, and that was originally why you didn't go to school and deferred NYU a year, to keep him from doing that to Emily when you left, but he did it 7 more times in the month that followed. And so in July, you called Meghan, told her she needed to come home ASAP but wouldn't tell her why, sent Kyle and Emily to the neighbors house and tried to kill yourself. But Emily came home early and found you half conscious in your room. She called 911, then ran to get your brother. You were in the hospital for 2 days after having your stomach pumped and you finally told Meghan what happened. And then you told the cops and they arrested the sick bastard. Your doctor suggested you be committed to assess the damage that your dad had caused, and Meghan agreed, so you were committed to St. John's psychiatric center for over a month, and were released at the beginning of September. By that point, Meghan had gone back to school and Cameron had taken a personal leave to take care of you guys when the trial started in December. And you won in April. That's a long ass trial. But then you packed up the house and Cameron left for Afghanistan again and you three were in New Haven by June. Kyle went to a public school last year to be around for the trial. And then came August, you came here, and here we are. Oh! And you're a phenomenal singer. There were some videos of school performances and some of songs you wrote that someone secretly taped without you knowing. I would assume it was Kyle because the YouTube account name was IamSheldnCoopr.

Haha, he's obsessed with that show. He always talks about how he's going to be Sheldon when he's older. But Santana…how on earth did you know all that…let alone remember it all.

I read a lot of articles. Looked at your FB…read some more articles…watched news videos…

That's a lot of research for a person you just met yesterday. I thought you weren't gay?

Speaking of that, you never mentioned that your school kicked Emily out because you were gay.

Yes, well, they were bigoted idiots. Most of the teachers were on my side, but the head of school and the nuns were like, disgusted by me. I was vice president of our campus ministry club, and they kicked me out of that position and wouldn't let me go to any masses from January to May. I was in charge of the masses for 2 years! They tried to kick me out in general, but decided not to because I was a senior. They would have if I was any younger…aka, Emily.

Well that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

They called NYU to try and get my scholarship revoked.

I take that back…THAT'S the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

I'm well aware. I was there when they made the phone call. The admissions person actually laughed on the phone. I can't believe you actually did all that research about my life just from that conversation we had yesterday.

Well…you intrigued me yesterday. I wanted to know about you. I didn't want to say anything stupid.

I'm sure you wouldn't have.

I don't know, I can stick my foot pretty far in my mouth.

Haha, that's a funny picture in my head. :D

You would make it literal.

You know, you didn't deny it this time when I suggested you were gay.

You're right, I didn't.

Does that mean you're not denying it anymore?

I didn't say that either Riley.

But you aren't saying otherwise.

Why are you pushing me so hard for this? I just want to be a normal college kid. Can't you let me have that?

No one ever said you couldn't San.

Is your life normal?

Well first of all, I think my situation is a little different, but secondly, is anyone's life normal? You just told me Rachel was engaged four months ago.

Well you're right on that account, but some people can live normal-ish lives. I just want that!

You can have a normal life and be gay Santana. Rachel's dads' seem fine.

Why are you making such a big deal Riley!

I just…nothing. Never mind Santana. Class is almost over. I'll see you tomorrow I guess.

Authors Note: reviews are still appreciated! I just had a lot of this written already so I decided to go ahead and post all that I had.
