'Stupid teacher, making me play this stupid game away, with all these stupid losers!'
A tiny hot head sat fuming in a ridiculously large circle on the gymnasium floor, due to a bad weather day the students of McKinley Elementary were having recess in doors that day, which unfortunately for a certain little Latina meant supervised play, and Santana Lopez didn't do supervised play especially when the teachers decided it would be good to mix up the play groups. This meant that instead of wreaking havoc with Puck, eating cookies with Rachel, and scamming lunch money off of that sissy boy and that chubby black girl he was always tattling with, she was forced to endure playing with these losers.
The worst part was she had that creepy pale kid with the weird hair that was always trying to get Puck's "Jewish American Princess" to kiss him in her group, and even though it was always fun watching Puck beat up on that rat faced kid, Santana really didn't want to get any closer to him than that. Seriously that kid gave off major oogie vibes and was clearly just riddled with cooties. Even Rachel, who was probably the nicest girl in the school if not the whole world, didn't like rat-boy and Rachel liked everyone! Even people Santana thought she was too good to be friends with, like that Lucy Loser.
Whatever…it wasn't like Santana was really that attached to Rachel or anything, it's just that the tiny girl was always happy to see her and brought the best cookies…and sounded really pretty when she sang…and had the best smile …and smelled like apples…and had the biggest eyes ever…and okay maybe Santana REALLY liked Rachel, but that didn't matter when the only thing that was wrong with Rachel was how much time she spent trying to be friends with a certain mousy haired four-eyed bookworm.
Santana couldn't understand that, Rachel was popular like her, but she was going to lose respect by trying to make friends with that girl and the worst part was she didn't even seem to care! It's not like the loser ever said anything back to her! She'd just turn red, stutter, and run away! Which always made Rachel look sad but then the next day she'd try to befriend her all over again, Santana didn't get it, why would Rachel even need to be friends with that weirdo when she has awesome people like her and Puck. It wasn't that Santana was jealous or anything, especially not every time she saw her friend give that loser a soft smile (that she never gave Santana), really she wasn't, it's just that Rachel was her friend and Lucy Loser better remember that or else all Lima Heights!
'Speaking of…' *growl* 'I'm gonna push her into the biggest mud puddle after school!'
Just as Snix was going to be released from her cage, supervising teachers be darned, someone with a death wish bopped the raven haired girl on the head. The whole circle sucked in a deep breath and it was as if the entire gym stopped moving, except of course for Rachel who was too busy vibrating with happiness over the hand holding hers to notice anything, seriously it was like she was preparing for lift off or something. That of course just made Santana even madder before for she shot off the floor to ends the fool who touched her hair. She spun around with a snarl and…stopped. Stopped moving, stopped breathing, stopped thinking, heck even her heart stopped beating for a moment that seemed to go on forever. The first thing her brain registered was the color blue, the most gorgeous shade of blue ever in fact, that belonged to the biggest eyes she had ever seen besides that one girl who's name escaped the Latina now, okay not really, but she felt like 'Rachel who?', why did she care if Rachel wanted to hold that loser's hand again? Her friend could have other friends; seriously it wasn't that big of a deal just as long as those blue eyes belonged to her, and that shiny blonde hair, beautiful smile, and cotton candy smell, because really who would want apples when you could have pure sugar?
"GOOSE!"
Okay that was a unique way to great someone but whatever, "GOOSE!" the Latina exclaimed back just as excitedly.
*giggle* 'Okay new favorite sound ever!' "No silly, you're the goose, so I have to run away from you!"
"Wait, you wanna run away from me?" Santana almost cried at the prospect of the prettiest girl she'd ever seen wanting to run from her. "Why? I swear I'm not the one with cooties; Jew-fro over there is the one that's crawling with them!"
Another beaming smile and giggle are the Latina's answer before the tall blonde swoops in to give her cheek a gentle kiss. "I'm only running so you can catch me, don't you want to catch me?"
Santana breathed out a dreamy "Always…"
The blonde girl squealed in joy and pulled the dazed brunette into a tight hug, "Yay! After school do you want to go see the real ducks with me, they're so much cuter than these other ducks and they don't smell weird like that one with the frizzy hair. OH my name's Brittany what's your name?"
"Santana Lopez."
"Hi Sanny! Now come on you have to chase me so you can catch me and then we can be besties for life and feed the ducks!"
As Santana chased the bouncy blonde around the circle, she felt like what just happened was just like that stupid song from that stupid musical Rachel made her watch last week; it only takes a moment…or something like that, whatever, Lucy could watch those lame musicals with Rachel now, because Santana was going to be busy with ducks.
The End.
