Chapter two (Prom)

Two days before prom Santana and I went shopping for our dresses after school; she had chosen a deep red dress that went to the floor with one shoulder, I went with a light pink strapless dress that fell just above my knees. After we picked our dress we went to get matching heels and some jewellery. At the jewellers we decided to get matching bracelets they were simple silver link chains with diamond heart clasps which we would wear on our wrist which we linked our pinkies with. After shopping we went to the food court for dinner which is where we ran into all of the glee girls besides Quinn.

"Hello ladies" Kurt greeted

Hey Kurt, girls" I greeted offhandedly

"What brings all of you here?" San asked looking annoyed at the interruption

"Prom dress shopping and you two?" Kurt answered for the group

"Same as you except now we are finished" I told them "Where's Quinn?" Santana looked around only just noticing that one girl was missing

"She already has her dress" Mercedes supplied, narrowing her eyes at us as if to try to read our minds

"Are you two dating?" Brittany asked all of a sudden causing everyone to stare at her and then look between us

"No Brittany" I replied shocked that she came so close to part of our secrets with our realising

"Yeah we are just friends" San quickly said Brittany nodded completely oblivious to how uncomfortable things had become

"Err well we better be going" Tina said for the group they waved and all walked off the continue their shopping

"Well that was awkward did you notice Mercedes staring at us it was so creepy" I looked over at their retreating forms

"Yeah and Britt came so close to our secret" San said we continued talking until she looked at her phone and announced that we should be going. I had gone in Santana's car so she dropped me off at my house before she went home.

"See you tomorrow" I waved as she drove off

Friday the day before prom the whole school was buzzing with excitement over tomorrow night's dance. I wore my new bracelet to school the next day as well as a new pair of denim shorts with a tee that said 'New York City'. We had glee all day today to prepare for the prom tomorrow Santana met me at my locker that morning when we got to the choir room I noticed Jesse sitting at the piano with an arrogant smirk on his face he looked up as we enter the choir room and down to our hands, he looked back up at me and raised his eyebrow. I rolled my eyes at him and continued walking to my seat.

"What's St Jackass doing here?" Santana asked once Mr. Schue entered the room late like always

"Jesse is here as our show choir consultant to help us prepare for nationals but today he will merely be helping us prepare for prom" Mr. Schue informed us, once again he gave us no choice in the matter "Now split up into the groups your performing in and find a space away from everyone you may use anywhere in the choir room or auditorium to rehearse" Santana and I decided to go rehearse in the costume room just off the auditorium technically we weren't breaking Mr. Schue's rules. Once in the room we locked the door and began practicing, after three run throughs of the song we stopped to talk instead.

"Quinn didn't look happy that Jesse was back" San stated

"Probably because the whole club hates him" I replied

"Or she's jealous that he's taking you to the prom" San said helpfully I shrugged my shoulders

"Have you talked to Brittany lately?" I asked taking the spotlight of me just as she was about to answer when there was a knock on the door.

"Girls open the door" Mr. Schue said while trying to open the locked door. Santana went to unlock and open the door when she opened it I saw both Mr. Schue and Jesse on the other side of the door "Why was the door locked?" he asked, Jesse was standing slightly behind Mr. Schue leaning on the door frame he had a smug look on his face

"We didn't want to be disturbed while practicing" I answered he looked unsure to if we were telling the truth or not

"Ok keep the door unlocked I'll tell everyone to not come in here. Jesse is going to help you with your vocals"

"I don't need help with my vocals" I said slightly offended

"Don't be that way Rach we all need help" Jesse chuckled, Mr. Schue left to go help the other groups while Jesse stayed with us "So girls what were you really doing I now it wasn't singing if Rachel was singing everyone would know it" he asked

"We were taking a break" I defended

"Uh huh well let's get back to work" he said and then leaned in and whispered in my ear "are you sure you weren't making out?" I blushed at his comment but shock my head

At the end of the day I went straight home to wait for Santana to go home and change before coming over my house, she was sleeping over so we could get ready together tomorrow. At 5pm the door bell rung my dad's had gone out for the night so we had the house to ourselves.

"Come in" I said and lead her up to my room

"It's just as I imagined" she said looking at the shelves full of trophies and photo's "how did you win a singing competition at 3 months?" she asked holding up a small trophy

"I was very even at a young age" I replied. We spent the night watching chick flicks during one of the movies we were sitting cross legged on my bed while Santana was painting my nails a light pink to go with my dress, I had already painted hers.

"So did you want me to get out a spare mattress or are you fine to share?" I asked I didn't want her to feel awkward

"R its fine we can share" she said blowing on my nails

Around 10pm I turned the movies off and crawled into my bed beside Santana I was careful to keep my distance. Santana rolled her eyes and turned to face me.

"You know that you being gay doesn't bother me remember we play for the same team" she said and shuffled closer

"I just don't want to make you uncomfortable" I said

"Well you don't and we're best friends" she said now we were really close. The next morning I woke up with Santana hugging my middle and I had my arms around her

"Morning" she mumbled and then fully realised her position "Sorry I cuddle in my sleep sometimes" she admitted shyly

"Don't worry about it" I replied laughing at her embarrassment

Prom had arrived Santana and I were getting ready at my house; Santana was a devil in red. My makeup was done lightly with all natural colours. We both had our hair partially up with the rest curly.

"Your dates are here" my dad called from the bottom of the stairs

"Ok were coming" I yelled back. Santana and I walked down the stairs together; pinkies linked of course.

"You look beautiful girls, shuffle together for a picture" dad said we all moved together with the two guys on the outside, after a few pictures we headed off.

"Your dads right you look amazing" Jesse whispered in my ear

"Thanks" I giggled the ride in the limo was spent making small talk I was actually surprised with Noah's willingness to go along with our plan. We arrived at the prom 15 minutes after it started San and I were due to sing our song right after Mercedes was finished with her solo.

Both: Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

I took the first verse, we picked this song because it was playing that first time in the coffee shop

Rachel: Keep drinkin' coffee

Stare me down across the table

While I look outside

Santana: So many things I'd say if only I were able

But I just keep quiet

And count the cars that pass by

Rachel: You've got opinions, man

We're all entitled to 'em

But I never asked

Santana: So let me thank you for time

And try to not waste any more of mine

Get out of here fast

Rachel: I hate to break it to you babe

But I'm not drowning

There's no one here to save

Both: Who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died

And made you king of anything

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Santana: You sound so innocent

All full of good intent

You swear you know best

Rachel: But you expect me to

Jump up on board with you

Ride off into your dellusional sunset

Santana: I'm not the one who's lost

With no direction oh

But you won't ever see

Rachel: You're so busy makin' maps

With my name on them in all caps

You got the talkin' down just not the listening

Both: And who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died

And made you king of anything

All my life

I've tried

To make everybody happy while I

Just hurt

And hide

Waitin' for someone to tell me it's my turn

To decide

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Oh (oh oh oh)

Who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died

And made you king of anything

Who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died

And made you king of anything

Let me hold your crown, babe

Oh oh

Ah

Once we sung the last notes everyone applauded our voices really did sound good together. Santana and Puck were also running for prom king and queen my friendship with her made it hard to vote since I was originally voting for Quinn. I decided to vote for San, I drew a love heart around the box next to her name and placed it in the ballot box.

"Guess you vote for Quinn" she said while we were dancing just after I voted

"Actually no, I voted for you San. I may love Quinn but you're like my best friend" I told her she looked slightly surprised

"Wow I didn't expect that" she told me and I nodded.

We continued dancing together until a slow song was on and we went to our 'dates' it was fine for us to dance upbeat songs together but who knows what people would think if we dance a slow romantic song together.

"Want to dance?" I asked Jesse

"Sure" he said pulling me to the middle of the dance floor "So do you have your eye on anyone?" he whispered really low so no one could hear.

"Yeah Quinn" I whispered back

"Really I would of thought it was you and Satan" he replied and I laughed causing Finn to walk over and shove Jesse off me. It may have looked like we were doing more than just talking since his mouth was right next to my ear.

"Dude keep it PG" Finn told him

"It's none of YB; your business" Jesse answered back

"Well it's my school which makes it my business" Quinn tried to get Finn to go back to dancing with her

"This isn't your girlfriend so beat it" Jesse said before turning back to me

"What is he your boyfriend now?" Finn asked his anger growing it was like he thought he had some claim over me

"Uh… no we're just friends" I told him

"That's not what it looks like" Finn replied

"Well it is so go back to your girlfriend and leave Rach alone she can be with anyone she wants" Jesse shoved Finn out of the way and once again tried to go back to dancing. That's when Finn decided to strike Jesse soon it turned in to a full blown fight, Quinn and I were trying to stop them but it wasn't working.

"She doesn't want you" Jesse yelled

"Yes she does and even if she didn't want me she definitely doesn't want you" Finn shouted at him

"I know that!" Jesse screamed before anything could accidently come out Coach Sylvester walked over to us

"Ok break it up. Proms over for you to come on curly and giant, get out of here" she yelled at them pushing them towards the exit

"Wait but were nominated for prom king and queen" Quinn pleaded

"Sucks for you sister" Coach Sylvester yelled Quinn looked devastated I went to apologise for their behaviour but she just glared at me and walked off. I went to find San she was dancing with Puckerman; I tapped him on the shoulder.

"Mind if I cut in?" I asked looking at San for her reaction she didn't seem to mind Puck walked off

"What happened to Jesse?" she asked as we danced

"He got kicked out for fighting with Finn it wasn't his fault though, Quinn's angry about it." I explained and she gave me a quick hug.

After the song was over it was time to announce the winners of prom king and queen.

"Can we have all the candidates on the stage please" Figgins asked the three couples made their way to the stage

"Good luck" I told San

"The winner for prom queen is… drum roll please" the drummer complied "Santana Lopez!" she looked so happy

"Take that Q" she said to Quinn, I frowned a bit at this but was genially happy for her

"Go San!" I shouted she looked at me and smiled

"And your king is…" there was a pause as he read whose name was on the ballot "Erm Rachel Berry" he finally announced, I was shocked how could people be that cruel after the shock wore off everyone started to laugh I ran out of the gym I could hear them shouting at 'Man hands' as I left. I spared a glance at Santana she looked angry and a little scared she was probably thinking that people thought we were an item just like I was thinking. I ran into the nearest bathroom where I found Quinn she had left after the results of Prom Queen were announced

"This is all your fault. No one was going to vote for us when they knew Finn was in love with you" she slapped we across the face and look immediately remorseful. "I'm so sorry Rachel" she hadn't even noticed the tears running down my face because of all the laughter

"I'm supposed to be upset about being slapped in the face but I kind of appreciate the drama of it all" I told her cover the spot she hit with my hand

"I'm really sorry" she said again handing me a wet paper towel to wipe me tears away

"Don't worry it's not the end of the world" I wiped away the remainder of my tears just as Santana burst in

"Rachel are you ok?" she asked looking concerned and then noticed Quinn

"I'm fine but I don't know if I can go back in there. There is clearly a reason why they did this" I told her Quinn looked confused

"Did what?" She asked

"They voted her as my King; don't you think that's a bit worse than not getting Queen?" San seethed

"Rach I'm so sorry that you had to go through that" Quinn said honestly my heart fluttered a bit at the nickname.

"Don't worry you didn't know, let's go back San" she held out her hand this time instead of her pinkie which I gladly took.

I confidently walked up to the stage where Figgins still stood awkwardly holding my crown, he gave me a small smile before placing the crown on my head the crowd was silent.

"It's time for the king and queens dance" Figgins announced and everyone parted in a circle for San and I. Tina, Brittany and Quinn were singing dancing queen as we danced.

"You're really brave for doing this" San told me

"I know. Santana do you want to go on a date sometime with me" I whispered so no one could hear me after her not speaking I continued "I'll completely understand if you don't want to date me I mean who would? I'd still like to be your friend and help you with Britt"

"Rachel –"

"Don't worry about it, it's completely fine" I cut her off the song had ended and all the couples had gone back to dancing. She dragged me out of the gym and into the deserted hallway, she looked around to check no one was around before leaning in and placing a tentative kiss on my lips. She pulled back to gage my reaction I brought my fingers up to my lips I was in a blissful daze. I saw Santana looking anxious waiting for my reaction instead of reply I leant back in and kissed her which she quickly deepened.

"What about Quinn" she asked quietly

"She doesn't want me and right now I want you, you understand me what about Brittany?" I asked back

"She doesn't want me either but that's not why I'm going to date you. I think I like you" she replied quietly

"Me too" she kissed me again before linking pinkies with me and walking back into the dance, little did we know Finn saw the whole exchange.
