AN: And the first past chapter. This is the first time that I'm doing this. So thoughts, do you want to see how they got together or do you want me to narrow the focus as to what went wrong in their relationship.


The very first day of high school was terrifying, she really wanted to make a good impression and be popular. It hadn't exactly happened that way while back in junior high but this was what she wanted, and what she needed to happen. It was supposed to be a rebirth, at least that's what everyone else had said. She could be anyone that she wanted to be and the person that she wanted to be was the person who was in charge of the school. That way no one would ever mess with her.

Santana exhaled as she studied the classroom quickly, there wasn't that many spots left and she didn't want to sit next to the mouth-breather, or the guy with the dopey looking face. Though there was a space next to the two identical twins. They were even wearing the same matching outfits and it was slightly off-putting. But compared with her other two options it was certainly better. She moved to take a seat beside one of them and pulled out her notebook trying not to listen to their conversation.

"This is your fault."

"My fault? I don't want people to mistake us for each other. Or think that we're the Grady Twins from the Shining! How are we supposed to make friends Quinn?"

"You watched the Shining?" Santana asks interrupting them and she bites her lip as they both in unison turn to her. Creepy as fuck. "You two need to stop doing that. It's creepy and weird." Santana said immediately. One of the twins immediately smiled at her and stuck out her hand. Santana looked at the hand and then at one of the creepy twins and reached out and shook it. "Santana Lopez." Santana said, making friends wasn't that hard.

"I'm Charlie Fabray," Charlie said with a smile. Santana was by far the most beautiful girl in their class so far. "We don't normally dress like this, but our mom thought it'd be cute and she started to get all weepy this morning about how her girls were growing up to fast." Charlie explains to Santana. She ignores the sound of Quinn clearing her throat until she coughs loudly. "You should get some water for that Quinn."

Santana tries not to laugh watching as the twin named Quinn rolled her eyes, maybe they wouldn't be so bad to have as friends. "Santana."

Quinn glances at Santana and nods. "Quinn." She says and shakes her head as she watches Charlie turn to her and gives her a look. The look. She shakes her head if Charlie wants to go back to making a fool of herself it's none of her business. She returns to people watching, sizing everyone up. It's a good thing they know like half the class already. Frannie had been extremely popular, when she had gone here and she wanted to make sure that they were more popular. She pauses when a short girl who is dressed in an argyle sweater with an owl on it enters the room and she smacks Charlie's arm. "See, I told you that there was going to be someone."

Charlie looks up, slightly annoyed at Quinn for a moment but spots the girl who is at the front looking for a seat. She can't help but tilt her head, because as bad as their mother is—she isn't that bad. In fact if they had ever decided to wear something like that to school she'd think she failed as a mother. Charlie shrugs, and

Charlie looks up slightly annoyed at Quinn for a moment but spots the girl who is looking for a seat and tilts her head. Very short skirt and an argyle sweater with some sort of bird on it and she relaxes for a moment. Though even though she looks like her parents dressed her in clothes from the children's section at the mall, she still seems to be very sure of herself. Charlie shrugs and smiles at Santana. "So you just moved here?" Charlie asks, and she's met with a nod. "Well I can show you around if you'd like? And introduce you to a few people." Charlie offers.

Santana pauses for a moment and smiles, Charlie seems really friendly and she really does want to get this friend thing out of the way. "Sure, I just have to ask my parents," Santana says.

Charlie grins widely and is about to say something when someone tosses their bag onto her desk with a loud thud and she looks up and pauses and scrunches up her face because he looks familiar and she pauses for a second. "What the hell did you do to your hair?" Charlie asks and Quinn turns.

"Puck?" Quinn asks in equal shock.

Puck flashed them both a pleased smile, "Like it?" He said running a hand through his hair. He looks at Quinn. "Now will you go out with me?"

Quinn snorts derisively at this but smiles and shakes her head. Even though he's older than them by a year, he's still like the little brother she really didn't ask for. "No Puck."

Puck look at Charlie and flashes his most charming smile, Charlie rolls her eyes at him. "We could be the power couple come on Charlie, don't you want to ride the Puckasaurus?"

"I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth," Charlie says dryly and Quinn begins to laugh at this, ignoring the flush on his cheeks.

Puck huffs and is about to give up when he catches sight of Santana and he puts on one of his charming smiles. "Noah Puckerman at your service," he said winking at her. "Resident badass, and a lover of beautiful women." He held out his hand ignoring the very dark look Charlie was giving him.

Santana looked at him he was decent looking and he seemed to have a decent sense of humor, "Santana Lopez," she flashed him a hesitant smile.

Charlie looked between the two of them and her heart dropped a bit, because it was Puck of all people in the world. It was Puck, with his stupid haircut and his dumb charming face, and his compliments. A part of her wanted to point out that it was Puck. But she didn't want to be that person, and besides it just meant that Santana would never be interested in her even if she had the right equipment. That didn't mean that she couldn't be friends because having Puck as a friend usually ended up with the three of them in trouble. She fiddles with her binder instead and watches as their teacher finally enters the classroom. She leans back and is about to say something when Santana touches her arm. "Yeah?"

"Puck's cute right?" Santana asks her, she's not really interested but from his bragging about making the football team it's something to pay attention to. "You're not interested in him are you?"

Charlie forces a smile onto her face, "Puck? No—he's like our brother." And a chronic womanizer, but she couldn't say that without having Santana mistakenly thinking that she liked him. "Are we still on for later though? You can sit with me and Quinn at lunch if you want?" Charlie offers, as their teacher writes her name on the board.

Santana flashes a grateful smile at Charlie, hoping that she's found a friend. "That sounds nice," Santana says and relaxes she had been worried over nothing and she finally turns her attention to their teacher. Ms. Holly Holiday.

"So let's talk about extra-curricular activities."
