*~*3rd Person POV*~*
"Come on Santana, we're going to be late!" Kurt sang playfully as the two of them rushed around the kitchen, grabbing two pieces of fruit before running out into the patio.
"Zip it Kurt!" She snapped playfully as they ran towards the minibus.
They quickly jumped onto the minibus, saying quick 'Hello's' to the driver before moving to the back of the bus in their usual seats. Most of the mini bus was filled with younger students who were going to be dropped off to junior or middle school. They were the only high schoolers now on board, and have been for two years.
"And yet again, Kurt Hummel and Santana Lopez are going to rule the school in their Junior year," Santana stated proudly, knocking her banana against Kurt's apple as a toast, "Maybe you'll even find yourself a boyfriend this year."
"As if," Kurt rolled his eyes, "First of all, I'm the only confirmed out kid in the school, and that includes you since you haven't come out to anyone but the Glee Club. And secondly, there is no one remotely attractive to me in the school."
"One day you'll get laid, Hummel."
"One day you'll let it go, Lopez."
The two bickered and ate their breakfast on the way to McKinley. Well, not exactly to McKinley. They had asked the bus driver to park a few roads away on their first day of freshman year so it wasn't so obvious they lived far away.
The high school was the first stop as it was the closest. They walked down the minibus, whispering good luck to the panic-looking children before jumping off the bus gracefully.
"See you later Mike!" Kurt called as the bus doors closed, Mike nodding at him before driving away towards the middle school.
"Alright so, I heard from Yentl the Lesbian Matchmaker that her cousin is moving into McKinley this year as a junior," Santana said as they walked towards the school, "And that he's from that all-boys boarding school. Maybe you'll find your match Lady Lips."
"Okay first of all, 'Yentl the Lesbian Matchmaker'? Really? That's your nickname for Rachel?" Kurt replied, "And secondly, you were going to tell me about this cousin when exactly?"
"Relax, she told me last night while you were doing your moisturising routine again," Santana teased.
"Sometimes I really hate you," Kurt mumbled.
"But you keep me around," Santana winked, hooking her arm with Kurt, "Now come on, we need to help with the Cheerios auditions."
"Aren't those second period?"
"I meant the sign up sheet."
Kurt rolled his eyes but let Santana drag him into school, stopping at the sign up sheet to make Santana happy.
"Porcelain and Airbags, my two least detested Cheerios," Sue Sylvester greeted them as she too checked the sign up sheet, "I'm counting on you two to lead our team to Nationals again this year."
"We wont let you down coach," Kurt replied, "We have a legacy to keep up."
"Besides, they have us two," Quinn Fabray added as she walked next to them, followed by Brittany Pierce.
"I'll see you two second period then," Sue smirked before walking away towards her office.
They waited until the door was shut before squealing, hugging each other.
"Oh my god Quinn I haven't seen you in weeks!" Kurt exclaimed, hugging Quinn tightly.
"Don't take her all for yourself!" Santana quipped, shoving Kurt away from Quinn before also hugging her tightly.
"Dolphin!" Brittany bubbled, jumping onto Kurt.
Kurt chuckled, hugging his friend back before they were all interrupted by a loud cough.
"I really hate to interrupt this romance fest but some of us need to get to their lockers," one of the football players snapped.
"Whatever's gotten up your ass must not be pleasant," Santana snapped back, having to be tugged away by Kurt.
"Come on Santana, let's get our books," Kurt pleaded as the four of them made their way to their lockers, Quinn and Brittany going the opposite way.
"I'm only letting this one go because the bell hasn't gone yet," Santana grumbled, making Kurt chuckle.
"Hey guys!" Finn Hudson, quarterback of the football team, called excitedly, walking up to the two Cheerios, "Have you seen Rachel's cousin Bl-"
"Every breath you draw in my presence annoys me, Frankenteen," Santana snapped, dragging Kurt away with her and pulling him into their locker corridor.
"Sometimes you can really be a bitch," Kurt mused as he opened his locker, which was quite conveniently next to Santana's.
"That's my job, Lady Lips," Santana replied, re-applying lip gloss on her lips.
They closed their lockers and leaned back onto the wall, watching as people walked past them, picking out the freshman (or how Santana called them 'Fresh meat') and whispering to each other about certain people's fashion choices.
"Hey have you guys seen a short dark-haired guy with a bow tie?" Rachel asked quickly, looking around frantically.
"No we have- Dead Lord Rachel! Why on earth are you wearing that monstrosity of a jumper?!" Kurt exclaimed, barley being able to stand looking at yet another animal sweater.
Rachel rolled her eyes, "Can you save me this talk for later? I'm trying to find my cousin here."
Santana peered over Kurt's shoulder, "Have you tried the school office?"
Rachel's eyes lit up, exclaiming a quick 'Thank you' before running down the hall.
"See you later Yentl!" Santana called behind her, hooking her arm with Kurt's and laughing with him as the bell went for home room.
"Blaine Devon Anderson, where on earth have you been?!" Rachel exclaimed as she spotted her shorter cousin, crushing him into a hug.
"Rachel... Can't breathe..." Blaine managed to rasp out.
Rachel quickly loosened her grip, hooking her arm with Blaine's and walking down the corridor.
"Now Blaine, as we are the only Anderberrys in the school, we have a reputation to support," Rachel began.
"And that would be?" Blaine asked her, resisting the urge to roll his eyes at his cousin, "Wait, whats an Anderber-"
"I call it the Anderberry ABC; Attractive, Brilliant, Cultured," Rachel explained proudly, "You must be attractive to the people around you and brilliantly talented, but also intelligent. For example, I have a boyfriend, I'm the lead soloist in Glee Club and I have a perfect 4.34 GPA. Now all we have to do for you is get you a girlfriend and in the Glee Club, as I know your GPA is just like mine. I did my research. Now I'm pretty sure Quinn is single now..."
"Actually Rachel, I'm gay," Blaine interrupted.
"Oh. Well I'm sure someone is going to come out this year," Rachel continued, "The only guy that's actually out and proud is Kurt Hummel, and you really don't want to be around him, even if he is in Glee Club."
Before Blaine could ask why, the bell for home room rang. Rachel, quickly noticing the timetable in Blaine's hand, took it and compared it to her own (which she had memorised, thank you very much).
"Perfect! We have the same home room! Follow me, I'll introduce you to the others!" Rachel squealed excitedly, dragging Blaine down the corridor into their home room.
Most people were already there, Santana and Kurt having already claimed their desk at the back corner of the classroom. They were currently filing their nails while the jocks in front of them tried balancing pencils on their faces.
Rachel pulled Blaine along by his sleeve, taking the other desk at the back of the classroom behind Tina and Artie.
"Artie, Tina, this is my cousin Blaine," Rachel quickly introduced them as they sat down.
"Are you sure you're related to Rachel?" Tina asked dreamily as she stared into Blaine's eyes.
Blaine quickly caught on, "I'm gay."
Tina quickly blushed embarrassed, which made the group laugh, including Tina.
Santana and Kurt both turned to look at what the Glee Clubbers were laughing about, spotting the new guy. Santana quickly leaned over, tapping him on the shoulder.
"If you ever need a tour of the school, Hotness, I'll gladly help you," Santana winked, sliding back over to sit next to Kurt as he tried to contain his laughter.
"Hotness. Really?" Kurt whispered laughing, causing Santana to elbow him with a smile on her face.
"Ignore them," Tina said once Blaine turned to face them, "That was Santana Lopez, and the guy next to her is Kurt Hummel."
"They're the school divas, and also the captains of the Cheerios," Artie added, "Although they're both in Glee and have sick singing skills."
Before they could continue talking, the home room supply teacher Miss. Holiday walked in.
"Alright everyone! Miss Williams is having a baby, so I'll be taking you for a few weeks!"
"How many more wannabe failures do we have to endure?" Santana groaned, half an hour into second period Cheerio try-outs.
"Half an hour Santana, only half an hour," Kurt replied, rubbing her shoulder, "Next!"
Kurt grabbed his water bottle, taking a large sip before spitting it out at the sight in front of him.
"Oh my god..." Santana whispered, rubbing her forehead and closing her eyes.
"Puck, what on earth are you doing here?!" Kurt exclaimed, wiping his mouth.
"I was looking for Quinn actually, not to audition for your stupid Cheerios. The girls out there can be feisty," Puck explained, gesturing to the large queue of girls behind the doors waiting to try out.
Kurt rolled his eyes, "Shouldn't you be in lessons? Because that's where Quinn is right now."
Puck opened his mouth, quickly closing it before walking out of the gym.
*"Lo juro por Dios esta escuela se me va a volver loco," Santana muttered darkly to herself before straightening up, "Next!"
"Hi, I'm Brittany Pierce and-"
"Brittany, what are you doing here, you're already in the Cheerios," Kurt explained calmly.
"Oh," Brittany replied, skipping happily over to the door.
Santana groaned, slamming her head onto the table, "Just bring in the next one and let's get this done with."
"Hey Blaine, aren't you going to eat lunch with us?" Rachel asked as they walked into the cafeteria.
"I actually, um, met these guys in science and... I'm going to go," Blaine replied, swiftly walking away from her prying cousin and to a table with the maths club.
Rachel rolled her eyes, "He's gonna learn sooner or later," she muttered to herself as she walked over to the Glee table.
"Does anyone know why the band has decided to set up in the cafeteria?" Finn asked, sliding in the seat next to Rachel.
"Because we are doing an improvisation in the cafeteria to attract new members!" Mr. Schuester explained, clapping Rachel and Finn on the back as he walked in with the last band member.
Everyone looked around the table with panicked expressions until Mercedes finally spoke up, "Um Mr. Schuester, are you sure this is a good idea?"
"Of course it is! I'll go get the others," He replied happily, walking towards the cheerleaders and jocks table.
"We're not going to live through another year are we?" Mike asked, Tina wrapping an arm around him.
"Well, I say hell with it and lets just do it," Puck announced as he walked towards them with a guitar.
Rachel beamed, quickly hurrying towards the band as the rest of the table stood up. She whispered her song selection to them and Puck before walking over to the others.
"Okay guys, follow my lead," Rachel said, "Go Puck!"
The music started playing, the cafeteria chatter dying down as they stared at the New Directions. Instantly, the other Glee Clubbers recognised the song.
"See the people walking down the street,
Fall in line just watching all their feet,
They don't know where they wanna go,
But they're walking in time."
Rachel was walking around proudly, singing as the others slowly started walking around the cafeteria, some even climbing on tables. Even the Cheerio Glee members started joining in, Quinn sitting on Artie's lap as he spun around on his chair white Brittany, Santana and Kurt danced on the jock's main table, joining in with the singing.
"They got the beat,
They got the beat,
They got the beat, yeah!
They got the beat!"
"See the kids just getting out of school, They can't wait to hang out and be cool," Santana continued, doing a catwalk down the table.
"Hang around 'til quarter after twelve,
That's when they fall in line!" Kurt took over, jumping off the table and onto the maths table with Brittany.
"They got the beat,
They got the beat,
Kids got the beat, yeah!
Kids got the beat!"
It was Brittany's turn now, strutting down the tables.
"Go-go music really makes us dance!
Do the pony puts us in a trance!
Do the watusi just give us a chance!
That's when we fall in line!"
Blaine was prepared to stand up and join in, but then he looked up and saw the attractive teenager shaking his hips above him, and decided he'd rather preferred this view.
"'Cause we got the beat,
We got the beat,
We got the be-"
Suddenly, someone threw their apple to the drummer, knocking him off the chair and causing the rest of the band to stop playing.
"Food fight!" One of the jocks hollered, and suddenly, the cafeteria erupted into a fully blown food fight, pasta sauce flying everywhere.
"I know lunch wasn't exactly what you expected," Rachel began as she hooked arms with Blaine once the bell for the end of the day, "But I can promise you that the New Directions are a professional Glee Club."
Rachel pushed the Choir Room door open, pulling Blaine inside with her as people started filing in from the other door. Rachel quickly took one of the front chairs, sitting Blaine down on her left as Finn took her right.
"Hey man, I'm Finn," Finn politely introduced himself, leaning forwards to shake Blaine's hand.
"Blaine," he replied, "You're the quarterback right?"
Finn nodded as Quinn, Kurt, Brittany and Santana walked in, laughing loudly as they took their normal seats in the corner with Puck. Blaine certainly didn't miss the way Rachel turned to glare at Kurt.
"Rachel doesn't really talk to Kurt," Finn explained, "Something happened in middle school and things have been bumpy ever since."
"Sometimes I just want to wipe that smile off his face," Rachel muttered, turning back around and crossing her arms over her chest.
"Santana, can we please come over to Mayfield to play with the kids? Pleaseeeeee?" Brittany asked with puppy dog eyes but making sure she kept her voice down. There was a reason they sat in the corner.
"Yeah come on Hummel," Puck insisted, "I still need to teach Jack how to play his guitar properly."
"Oh well I don't know..." Kurt teased.
Brittany quickly started tickling Kurt nearly viciously, causing him to start laughing loudly.
"Alright fine!" He wheezed, making Brittany squeal and high-five Puck and Quinn.
Their little gang of five were the only ones that knew about Mayfield. Brittany found out a few years back in middle school when she started getting closer to Santana and Kurt, while Quinn and Puck only found out last year when they put their baby into care in the adoption agency there.
"Excuse me but could you possibly be any louder?" Rachel snapped, turning around to face a now pink-faced Kurt.
"Calm down Berry, Mr. Schue isn't even here yet," Santana snapped back, "You don't have to be a control freak all of the time."
"At least I'm not some cheap whore like you and your friends over there," Rachel bit back.
At this point the whole room had fallen silent, staring at the two girls. Puck and Quinn looked angry, Brittany looked confused and Kurt... Well, no one could read Kurt.
"Oh how would you of all people know Berry? Your the one that won't even dare to hold a conversation with us."
"I'm sure I would if I thought you'd be actually able to hold a decent conversation."
"Does this usually happen?" Blaine whispered to Tina, who nodded.
"Maybe if you stopped being such a control freak I'd deem you actually worthy of holding up a conversation with me."
"GUYS!" Quinn shouted, "You're seriously not helping here."
Rachel rolled her eyes, turning back to stare at the front of the room. Blaine was about to turn, and he could have sworn that he'd seen Santana and her friends looking at Kurt worryingly.
"You sure you're okay man?" Puck asked, patting Kurt's shoulder outside the gates of Mayfield Acres.
"Don't worry about it," Kurt replied, forcing a smile onto his face.
Quinn and Brittany quickly hugged him and Santana before hopping into the back of Puck's car.
"See you tomorrow!" Quinn shouted over the sound of the engine.
The car backed out of the driveway and down the narrow path. They both waited for the car to disappear before turning back and walking towards the Sector C building.
"I found a lawyer," Santana blurted out, "His name is Matthew Anderson. He's willing to work for free and we have an appointment tomorrow. I know we'd have to miss Glee but-"
"Santana," Kurt interrupted, "That's perfect. We both want to find our families, so there shouldn't be anything stopping us."
Santana smiled, "We'll do this together, right?"
"Right."
