Chapter Four
She sat next to Brittany watching the Latina tap the pen against her cheek, they were in English class and were working on poems she saw the girl look over she quickly looked away. As she continued to work on hers she had only written one line when the teacher called on her, she was about to tell her she needed more time when Brittany offered to go. She watched as the blonde walked to the front of the room some kids began to giggle, she hated that for whatever reason they thought Brittany was stupid when it was the complete opposite she had a B average was very athletic she just saw the world differently than others. They would never say it in front of Quinn because they knew how protective she was of her friend so when she sent a glare their way they stopped as Brittany began to read the poem she written.
"So this is about my cat"
"When God created kitty cats,
He had no recipe;
He knew He wanted something sweet,
As sweet as sweet could be.
He started out with sugar,
Adding just a trace of spice;
Then stirred in drops of morning dew,
To keep them fresh and nice.
He thought cats should be soft to pet,
Thus He gave them coats of fur;
So they could show they were content,
He taught them how to purr.
He made for them long tails to wave,
While strutting down the walk;
Then trained them in meow-ology,
So they could do cat-talk.
He made them into acrobats,
And gave them grace and poise;
Their wide-eyed curiosity,
He took from little boys.
He put whiskers on their faces,
Gave them tiny ears for caps;
Then shaped their little bodies,
To snugly fit on laps.
He gave them eyes as big as saucers,
To look into man's soul;
Then set a tolerance for mankind,
As their purpose and their goal.
Benevolent ... and ... generous,
He made so many of them;
Then charged, with Fatherly Concern,
The human race to love them.
When one jumped up upon His lap,
God gently stroked its head;
The cat gave Him a kitty kiss,
"What wondrous love," God said.
God smiled at His accomplishment,
So pleased with His creation;
And said, with pride, as He sat back,
"At last. . . I've reached purr-fection!"
"That was very good Brittany you can take your seat now" Mrs. Kensington told her as she nodded and went back to her chair. "Okay Ms. Fabray you're up"
"Um well I need more time"
She sighed "you had three days to have this done what were you doing" she was about to answer with a snarky remark
"Okay but I want you to know it's not really that great but I did my best" she replied as she made her way to the front of the room
"That's fine, your best is all I ask" she said returning to her seat.
She stood in the front of the room she felt all eyes on her including the one she couldn't stop thinking about. Her dark hair flowing lightly again her tan shoulders, the slight arch of her eyebrow when she was thinking hard, eyes of a dark brown that felt as if they could see into your soul she felt hypnotized. She felt herself smiling as someone cleared their throat and some giggles she was brought out of her thoughts.
"When every you're ready Ms. Fabray" she nodded
She tried to focus on what she was reading and keep her eyes off her as she flipped her hair over her shoulder resting he head in the palm of her hand.
"This is called brown-eyed girl" she stated as she looked over at the Latina as she smiled at Quinn whom smiled back she felt her heart skip a beat.
When I look into your dark-brown eyes
I'm stopped in my tracks and am hypnotized
No words are spoken there's no need for fear
The looks you give me makes it perfectly clear
You want me now and I want you
I'm lost for words and so are you
My lust for you runs so very deep
I can't stop now I'm yours to keep
Show me a sign show me the way
I must have you now that's all I can say
My dreams of you in the darkness of night
Send a shiver down my spine with erotic delight
She felt the blonde looking at her as if she could see into her soul she broke eye contact with her as she looked around the room everyone was listening to Quinn. Some of the girls were in a haze as if she were talking to them.
Our eyes connect for a moment or two
That's all I need to make love to you
A dreams a dream but you are real
Show me your love tell me how you feel
You're a mystery to me and that's what I like
You changed my life and now I'm psyched
Those dark-brown eyes have a lasting grip
I lose total control when I touch your lips
You're beyond my reach and just beyond my touch
A girl like you gives me an adrenaline rush
Dream baby dream you tell me to do
I'm lost in this darkness when I'm without you
Was she talking about her? Santana wondered as she tried to see if she were looking at someone else, but she wasn't but no one else seemed to notice.
Our love is forever no matter what you say
I watch all your moves as you come my way
I can't change my feelings that I have for you
I don't want this to end until you tell me to
Whatever happens whatever you decide
I'll always be with you; I will enjoy this ride
Don't ever give up on me please don't go away
Love comes from my heart that's where it will stay
Forever and true kiss me and I'll kiss you
Whatever happens I'll always love you!
Once she finished she smiled then winked at her before taking her seat next to the other blonde-haired cheerleader. She watched as the taller girl whispered into Quinn's ear before glancing back at the Latina and giggled. As the bell rang they all began to leave not listening to what the teacher was saying as they exited the room.
"Looks like your Quinn's new booty call" Rachel told her as they headed towards their lockers which happened to be next to each other.
"Huh! What are you talking about?"
"The poem" she clarified "you know it was about you right"
She laughed at that she knew the blonde was watching her but she didn't want to let on she couldn't have people thinking she was gay. Well she was but she hadn't told anyone and she definitely wasn't about to come out because some cheerleader may have written a poem about her. So she just decided to brush it off "I'm not the only girl in that class with brown eyes it could have been about anyone of them or even you"
"No I think it was you in fact I know it was you"
"How"
"Because Quinn already slept with Alison and Katie last year, she hates me so that only leaves you and the fact that she asked me about you a few days ago"
"But why does she think I'm gay I never said I was"
"That doesn't matter gay straight it's just a label she's a player she will sleep with anyone"
"So being gay is okay here" she questioned
"Not at first I mean in Quinn's case no one dared mess with her because she is a cheerleader, but my friend Kurt wasn't so lucky he was bullied so bad that he had to transfer schools last year after this guy threatened to kill him"
"So what happened to him your friend I mean?"
"He came back at the end of the year we have a zero-tolerance policy now, but that still doesn't stop the teasing" she shrugged "So are you gay?" she wondered
"Rachel I-"she was about to answer when two football players walked towards them tossing an icy blue drink into the brunette's face. As the two jocks high fived each other and walked away laughing, she took the Latina by the hand and lead her to the nearest bathroom "What the hell fuck this stings" she winced as it got into her eyes and ran down her face into her bra
"Yeah I know don't rub it; you will make it worse" she instructed as she leaned her back into the sink washing it out of her eyes and face handing her a paper towel to dry herself "I have an extra change of clothes if you want them" she offered as the Latina now slushy free looked at the brunette she didn't want to be mean but plaid skirts and animal sweaters really weren't her style and rather than hurt the feelings of her new friend she just smiled and politely declined.
"No thanks, I'll be fine it really didn't stain my shirt that bad" she replied
"Well you might want to start bringing extra clothes then"
"That want be necessary because this will not happen again, I was caught off guard but next time I will kick asses and ask questions later" she told her as they left the bathroom "And thanks for helping me get cleaned up"
"You're welcome but I'm late for glee got to go I will see you at lunch"
"Wait I'm coming with you"
"What...you want to join glee club?"
"No, I didn't say I was joining I just want to sit in for now and maybe I will join hearing you talk about it constantly I decided to give it a try" she nodded as they made their way to the choir room.
"Look Q there's your Latin lover" Brittany whispered nudging her friend in the side.
"Hey hot mama couldn't stay away from me, I see" she heard the guy with the Mohawk say as she walked into the room. She rolled her eyes as Quinn just glared at him shooting daggers into the back of his head.
"Okay well that's puck" she pointed to the guy with the Mohawk "Next to him is Finn" the guy smiled at her with a rather gassy infant look "Then there's Tina, Mike, Kurt, Sam, Artie" she pointed to each one of them "and of course you already know Mercedes, Brittany and Quinn" she pointed to the girl from her physics class and the two blonde cheerleaders. "Guys this is Santana she just moved here and well she-"
"Chill it motor mouth she can speak for herself" Quinn said from her spot next to Brittany effectively cutting Rachel off as Mr. Shue walked into the room as the two girls took a seat Rachel next to Artie and Santana next to Brittany.
"Oh hi Santana I didn't know you were joining glee today" he smiled noticing the girl
"I'm not but I want to sit in and maybe my mind will change" she told him as he went back to talking about the lesson for the week she felt a hand on her arm.
"You're really hot" she flirted as she touched the girl's arm saying it in a whisperer
"Thank you" she stammered in a confused tone as she didn't know how to answer as she turned her attention back to Rachel, who was currently singing at the front of the room, she had to admit the tiny diva had a great voice.
"And you smell really nice" she smiled as she gently stroked her arm as Santana kind of brushed her hand away as the blonde was making her uncomfortable but no one seemed to notice her antics as they were facing the front of the room. When Brittany grabbed her hand, she jerked it away and moved over into the other seat giving the blonde a confused look as she just smiled at her as she continued to listen to Mr. Shue not noticing the glances and smirked the two cheerleaders exchanged between each other.
After glee was over she had quickly left the room but not before Brittany had smacked her on the ass, she was about to tell her to not do it again, but the blonde had skipped off down the hall. Upon leaving school, she went to the daycare center and picked up her son whom was excited to see her as he ran into her arms. She didn't have to work tonight so she took him to the park for a little while before retuning home as he told her all about his day. They had dinner alone since her grandmother went straight to bed once she returned home because she was tired and didn't want to be bothered. After dinner, she gave him his bath and placed him on the couch while she did her homework since he couldn't sleep without her there. She was almost done she just needed to do her math, but unfortunately, she had left her book at school she sighed as she closed them putting her books back in her bag, she was about to scoop her little man into her arms when she heard a knock at the door. It was almost seven her grandmother was in bed she wondered who could be knocking this late as she peeked through the hole, she saw that it was Rachel.
"Hey what are you doing here?" she questioned as she stepped outside closing the door half way behind her.
"Well you left so fast after glee that you forgot your math book" she handed it to her
"Couldn't you have given this to me tomorrow and besides how do you know where I live"
"Oh I looked up your address in the student directory and no it couldn't wait because a person's educations is very beneficial, and I didn't want you to get in trouble for not doing your homework"
"Well thanks but its late and I need to get to bed"
"Oh yes and also I was wondering if you wanted to do something after school tomorrow" she asked hopefully
"Rachel I-" she was suddenly interrupted by the pitter-patter of little feet and the door opening all the way.
"Mami I woke up and your weren't there" she picked him up as she rested his head on her shoulder before tuning her attention back to Rachel, who was standing there opened mouth and in shock.
"You're a mom" she finally said as she looked from Santana to the little boy she held close to her.
