I hear a knock on the door, I didn't know anyone was coming to visit. I open the door to find Santana looking down at her shoes.

"Hey Santana, I haven't seen you in a while." I greet her with a smile.

"Hey- uh, your mom said you were going to the mall and I thought maybe I could catch ride with you? " She asks with a nervous smile.

"Yeah, of course, come in, I just have to get changed, " I step aside and let her in. "just make yourself comfortable on our... boxes, I'll be quick. " I say with a slight laugh as I run upstairs to change out of my clothes full of sweat from all the lifting and moving I've had to do today.

I change into some skinny jeans and a white tank top, put my hair in a messy bun and quickly walk downstairs. I see Santana facing towards the front door sitting on the ground, scrolling through her phone, so I decide I'll scare her. I do my best to be quiet, but Santana turns around and screams, scaring me instead. She laughs at my loud, high pitched scream.

"You thought you could scare me. " she struggles to say while literally rolling on the floor laughing.

I try to calm down my heavy breathing and hit her on the head. "Let's just go before I change my mind about giving you a ride." I jokingly say. She gets up, still cracking up. I roll my eyes at her and pull her out the door. The 10 minute car ride to the mall basically consisted of just Santana laughing at me, and me laughing at Santana's laugh while trying to concentrate on driving. The laughing slowly died down as we walk into the mall, but I can still see Santana grinning at the corner of my eyes.

Santana's not my closest friend but she's definitely the most fun to be around, everything she says or does makes me laugh or just happy, I'm also weirdly more comfortable with her more than anyone else, I asked her if she wanted to hang out a few times, but she was always busy. I guess she doesn't enjoy me as much, but now she's just gonna have to deal with it because we live right next to each other. I just really wanna get to know her for some reason, I believe that there's more to everyone than they like to show.

After a few seconds of looking around, we see a whole group of people from McKinley, some of Santana's friends, some of mine, we walk over and we we're basically separated the whole time, talking to different people.

The car ride back home was pretty quiet, we we're both tired from all the talking and laughing.

"Thanks for the ride, Torres." Santana says before getting out of the car.

"No problem, Lopez." I answer back. "See you soon, you'll get sick of seeing me everyday now that we're neighbors!" I hear a quiet laugh from her as she walks away from my car, towards her front door.


Sorry for the really long wait for this chapter. I've been busy with school starting, being sick and just not having any idea how to write in Dani's perspective. I'm a lot more like Santana. Anyway, I'm still unsure with really continuing this story, but I'm doing my best to staying committed to it. Thanks for the reviews and follows, please keep at it. I need some encouragement and inspiration, lol.
