Loving Rachel Berry

chapter 3

Santana walked out of practice on Tuesday with a little more of a spring in her step and a small smile on her face. Today was her first vocal lesson with Rachel. She hoped she wouldn't embarrass herself with her lack of musical knowledge. She couldn't play any instruments so she didn't know how to read notes.

She got in her shiny relatively new car, a Kia soul in a grayish blue color. Her dad got it for her as a reward for getting all A's on her first semester classes.

She typed Rachel's address into her phone on Google navigation and headed there. She hadn't been here since their sleepover on the last day of fifth grade. After that in middle school they learned the popularity pyramid and Quinn told them they couldn't hang out with losers like berry and Tina anymore. That made Brittany cry.

When she got to the front door Leroy greeted her with a smile. "Rachel's upstairs, you remember which room right? Yellow door end of the hall"

As she entered Rachel's room she saw her on the elliptical wearing a tight black tank top, spandex shorts, with her hair back in a high ponytail. She looked hot.

"Oh hey! I lost track of time, I'll go change really quick. Just wait here"

"O-Ok" is all Santana could mutter out.

While she waited she looked around and studied Rachel's room. It looked a lot brighter than Santana's room with light colors compared to black. There was one blue hat box type of thing marked Special Things Upon opening you'd find birthday cards, old crafts, just cute stuff she would look back on when she's older, and a plastic Harry potter wand that lit up on the end when you pressed the little button. Santanas snooping was interrupted when Rachel came out of the bathroom.

"What are you-?"

"Exspelliomis!" the diva was cut off by Santana holding out the wand clicking the light on and off.

Then they both burst out laughing. Rachel found it especially funny that Santana of all people was being so carefree. It was because she knew here no one was judging her. She didn't have to pretend to be anything but her real nerdy self.

"Let's get serious now. Warm ups!" Rachel pulled her keyboard out from under her bed and began. "me may ma mo mooo, me may am mo mooo" the girls did things like that for what seemed like forever for Santana. Then a voice called from downstairs

"Rachy dinners ready! Bring Ana down so she can eat too"

Oh god, no one had called her Ana in years.

The girls went downstairs and sat at the table. Leroy and Hiram already had their dinner set out. Vegan spaghetti for Rachel and regular noodles for everyone else.

"This sauce is really good Mr. Berry. Thanks for dinner." Santana said genuinely

"Any time sweetie" Leroy replied

"I might just take you up on that" the cherrio joked back.

The group talked about glee club, school, and Cheerios. It was different for Santana than being at home because her parents are always so busy with work that her family doesn't have very many dinners together anymore. Except when her abuala makes tamales and invites them over, no one would want to turn down that invite.

Rachel and Santana went back into her room so Rachel could show her the list of songs they could sing for glee club.

"We obviously have to adapt the song to the weeks lesson. That's why I have a variety; also I couldn't just choose 1 or 2"

Rachel was quite proud of herself for narrowing it down to 12 songs. She picked songs that were based on both their likes and vocals by artists Santana said she enjoys listening to.

Santana looked at the list. She already knew most of the songs and liked them as well. She hoped Mr. Shue's lesson this week would be a good one.

TBC...
