Loud thuds and bass can be heard as Santana, Brittany and Rachel neared the party's destination. Santana was particularly excited to see what LHU's parties has in store for her. She was not an amateur at parties, when she was in highschool she was the LIFE of the parties. Santana even remembered getting on with different guys on one night. The Latina smiled at the thought of 'the good old days'.
But Santana Lopez wanted a change in herself. She wanted to feel grown up and not naïve like she was in highschool.
"We're near The Hell Room." Rachel said as they walked towards the library
Santana got a little confused "The Hell Room?"
The brunette nodded "Uh Huh. Puck calls it The Hell Room because it's really near the library. And Puck hates libraries, he even said 'Library is like hell' and that's how he got the name."
Santana rolled her eyes at how weird this Puck guy was "Wait, so are the teachers aware they're having a party?" she asked
Rachel shook her head "No. Every Friday teacher's have this conference in the faculty or something and they never know what the students are up to." Then the brunette paused as they reached the door of the library "We're here."
Rachel went in first, then Brittany and Santana. The library looked normal, to say at least. No signs of a party. Then at the far end of the library, there was an old lady sitting in a desk, writing vigorously.
"That's the librarian." The brunette told Santana
"She's really scary." Brittany added, with a frightened look in her face as she looked at her
"Okay guys," Rachel whispered, so no one else could hear them "The Hell Room is at the back of library and all we need to do is get past the librarian without her noticing us. We need a distraction. Brittany, you do it."
Brittany back away a little "Why me? Why couldn't it be you, Rach? She scares me, like a lot."
"Because." Rachel reasoned out "If you do it, we'll all get to the party faster."
Brittany still wouldn't do it "No way Rach. I'd rather face a ghost than her." She replied, still having a terrified look on her face
Santana felt the need to defend Brittany. She didn't like seeing the blonde scared. Which Santana thought was a little weird because they just met.
"Yeah Rachel, why don't you just do it yourself? Are you scared that the librarian's gonna eat you because of your size?" Santana defended, sounding a little bitchy
Santana could hear Brittany chuckle a little
Rachel replied "No, of course not! It's just that, Brittany always forgets the way and-"
"Fine, I'll just do it, okay?" Brittany retorted before Rachel could finish her sentence
Then Rachel held her head up high, as if she just won a bet. Santana watched her, getting more and more annoyed at Rachel
Then Brittany took a deep breath and went to one of the bookshelves and asked the old lady "Mrs… uhh… Librarian? Where can I find the story about the ducks who got sold boots?"
The old lady/librarian grunted and stood up from her desk. When the old lady neared Brittany, Santana could see Brittany's hands shaking.
Then Rachel grabbed Santana's arm and hurried at the backdoor behind the librarian's desk. Outside, Rachel led Santana to a door in the ground. When the brunette opened it, it showed an underground stairs with a door in the end. They heard footsteps behind them, and when they turned around it turned to be Brittany, who was holding a book
Santana chuckled at her "You actually borrowed it?"
Brittany shrugged "Why not? It's a really good book, you know."
Then the three of them went down the stairs and Rachel knocked on the door. The peephole on the door opened and the man behind said "Names, Year."
The brunette cleared her throat "Rachel Berry, Brittany S. Pierce and Santana Lopez. Sophomores."
The door suddenly opened and the three of them went in.
'I'm already liking how the party goes here in LHU. I feel like I'm in a secret club or something." Santana thought
Inside, Santana immediately noticed how big the place was. The place had a white, plain wallpaper with red lights illuminating, creating an effect that the place was on fire.
Even though the place was called The Hell Room, it was unusually cold inside. The Hell Room had a lot of people inside, some were chatting, others were making out in the couch, some were making body shots, and also others were dancing like crazy and most were just plain drinking on the familiar red cups. The Hell Room also had loud music playing.
"Cool Party." The Latina said as they studied the party
"Yeah it is." Brittany agreed
"Brittany!" A man called after her, as he was bumping his way towards Brittany
"Hey Britt, glad you could make it." The man said as he arrived to Brittany
The man had blonde Justin Bieber hair and he had nice body. But his most obvious feature was his large mouth. He was wearing a checkered shirt, jeans and Black Chucks.
Then he leaned in and kissed Brittany In the lips.
Again, The Latina felt jealousy building inside her.
"What are you doing here Sam? I-I thought you weren't gonna be back until next week?" Brittany asked as they finished kissing
Sam shrugged "I guess, I wanted to be back early. I surprised you didn't I?"
The blonde forced a smile, kinda upset that her boyfriend was here, because she wanted to spend more time with her new friend, Santana. "You sure did." She replied
"Hey guys, I-I'm just gonna get a coke, you guys want some?" Brittany continued
Both Sam and Santana shook their heads, while Rachel answered "I'll come with you!"
"Cool!" She replied, then she faced Santana and Sam "I'm gonna be right back!" Then both Brittany and Rachel hurried off to the kitchen
Sam faced Santana and asked "So, who are you? I haven't seen you around here."
Santana replied simply "Santana Lopez. Britt's roommate."
Sam's face nodded in recognition "Oh. Really? When did you move in?"
"5 Hours ago." The Latina grunted
"I'm Sam Evans. Sam I Am. And I like Bacon and Ham."
God, this guy has no game ."Whatever." Santana replied
"SAM! My man!" a guy called out behind Santana
Santana turned around and saw a huge black guy coming towards them.
"Shane! Wassup?" Sam fist-clapped the guy
Shane replied "Let's Go, Sam! Football field's open!" and started dragging Sam away
But Sam pushed back "Can't. I want to spend time with Britts."
Shane dragged him harder "Your girlfriend can wait! Now, Let's Go!"
Seeing that he can't fight Shane away, Sam just called out after Santana "Tell Brittany I just went out to play!" And with that, the two of them disappeared.
Santana's POV
Where the hell is Brittany? I thought she was getting us drinks.
Then I saw her fighting her way through the crowd. When she finally arrived, she was a little sweaty.
"Here." Brittany said handing a glass full of alcohol, from the two she was holding "They didn't have Coke anymore. They only have..." she paused, looking at her glass "I don't even know what this is."
I asked "What took you so long? " Brittany didn't even notice that Sam was gone.
The blonde took a sip from her glass "Well, I kinda.. got lost on my way back. They are so many people and they keep bumping me." and added a pout.
I chuckled, she was adorable. "Well, good thing you made it. Wait-Where's that annoying dwarf?" and I took a large sip from my drink
Brittany's brows furrowed "Annoy- Oh! You mean Rachel? She went with Finn. Rachel's kinda worried that Finn might find some other girl taller than her."
Before Santana could reply, Brittany jumped up. "Oh My God! I love this song! C'mon Santana let's go dance!" she said, and started dragging me towards the middle of the room. I just got along with her.
Then Brittany just started dancing. And she was amazing. Like really really amazing. Her hair flipped here and there and her body was going on with the beat. She was full of grace in her movements, like she's been doing this for years.
I noticed everyone else stopped dancing and they were looking at Brittany. I was staring at her with my jaw dropped. Mesmerized.
"C'mon San! Let's Dance!" and she grabbed my hand, and we just started dancing.
After 3 Hours...
"That was so much fun, San. We should do that again." Brittany said
"Sure."
I'm carrying Brittany towards our room now. She was too drunk to even stand up. I had fun at the party. We did body shots, dancing, laughing and a lot of other fun stuff. Brittany's really fun to be with. I could listen to her talk for hours and not get bored. I didn't drink, I was too preoccupied watching Brittany laugh at my jokes and crazy antics.
"I feel like Wonder Woman right now. " The blonde said drunkenly
"You sure do, Britt." I replied as I opened twitched the door of our room. It won't open. It's Locked.
"Uhh, Britt, do you have the keys?" I asked her
She just laughed "You're funny."
I sighed and checked her pockets, and sure enough, the key was there. I took it and opened the door. I carefully placed Brittany onto her bed and she mumbled something about ' flying'. I turned on the lights and removed my shoes.
Then Brittany suddenly spoke "S-san? C-can you read me a bedtime story?"
I was taken aback. A bedtime story? The only bedtime stories I know are those that someone dies at the end.
"Well, I don't know any bedtime story." I retorted
Brittany opened her shoulder bag and held out a book. It was the same book she borrowed from the library: "Mr. Duck With Yellow Boots."
I narrowed my eyes at her "No friggin' way, Britt. I think you don't need a bedtime story to fall asleep."
Brittany pouted and did Puppy Dog Eyes "Pwease."
I sighed, she was too adorable to be denied. I stood up and Brittany shrieked with excitement.. And she keeps repeating "San's gonna read me a bedtime story, San's gonna read me a bedtime story!"
I sat beside her. I took the book and opened it. With one last sigh, I looked at Brittany, who was grinning widely and was neatly sitted up from her bed.
Then I started the story.
Mr. Duck With Yellow Boots
Once upon a time, there was a Duck named Mr. Duck. He was very happy because he had his Yellow Boots. He loved his Yellow Boots so much that he wouldn't exchange it with anything. Not even 10 pieces of gold. One day, the Yellow Boots ran off and Mr. Duck was so sad. Mr. Duck wouldn't sleep or eat because the only thing he loved was gone. All gone. But one happy day, a red boot came in Mr., Duck's house. Mr. Duck was so happy he jumped up and down. The red boots was better than the last one, and Mr. Duck With Red Boots lived happily ever after.
THE END.
By the time I finished the story, Brittany was fast asleep already. I grinned, she was still so beautiful. I tucked her in, and placed a blanket over her. I was about to kiss her forehead when I hesitated. She's just my roommate. Just my roommate. I think.
Before I turned around, I whispered "Night Britt." Then I headed for my bed, and instantly fell asleep.

P.S.
Mr. Duck With Yellow Boots has kinda like the same plot with this story.
