Chapter 6
Brittany's P.O.V
I walked into the school and headed toward my locker, instead of the gym like usual. I'm really in no mood to put up with people, not even my friends. I just wanted to go to class, get this day over with, and go home. 'Dang, softball practice, looks like it will be a running and drills day today with the way I'm feeling.'
I cleaned out my locker trying to find something to do until the first bell rang. I threw my junk away in a nearby trash can and walked back to my locker. I pull out the correct books and turn to walk to class. Just as I turn around I see Joanne walking this way.
'Great, just great, I'm really going to have to put up with this.' I thought to myself.
"Hey babe" Joanne said walking up to me "How has your morning been so far."
"Just great thanks for asking." I said sarcastically.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing Jo, I'm really just not in the mood for this right now."
"Well can we talk later please?"
"Sure, whatever" I said back and heard the bell ring. I was then late for class on top of everything else. Thankfully my creative writing teacher loved me and I'd get to slide as always.
Joanne and I turn and go our separate ways and I looked back for a second and then bam I felt another body collide with mine. I knew I should have been looking, but whoever ran into me should have been too.
"Watch where you are going next time" I practically yell picking myself up off the floor.
I looked up to see most beautiful pair of chocolate brown eyes looking into mine. I adverted my gaze and then looked back at the face that is tinted with what looks like a light blush, of course, its Santana.
Santana's P.O.V
'Shit, where is this class? I'm so confused and the bell just rang. Why did our teacher have to change classes? I mean I could really careless that we have a guest speaker. Why couldn't the class that is combining with us come to our homeroom?' I thought to myself while racing down this new hall trying to find this classroom. I stopped paying attention for just a second and next thing I knew I was standing over someone that I had just knocked down.
"Watch where you are going next time." I heard practically shouted at me.
I felt bad enough for it without the girl yelling. Wait, that voice sounded familiar. Sure enough, I looked down and I was staring into the prettiest set of sky blue eyes I had ever seen. I let our eyes connect and held her gaze until she looked away. I instantly blushed. Was I really purposefully making eye contact with her? What has gotten into me?"
"I'm sorry Brittany I was in a hurry. I should have been paying attention." I reached out for her to grab my hand and helped her up.
"Don't worry about it, why are you in such a rush?"
"Well my class is combining with another class for a guest speaker and I can't find the other classroom."
"Creative writing?" She asks.
"Yeah, geeky I know, but I love writing."
She laughs and I see her pearly whites. "Not geeky, kind of hot." She said and immediately corrected herself "I meant . . . umm . . . cool."
Did she really just say hot? I mean I knew I didn't imagine that. Wait, was my stomach inhabiting little butterflies? I'm never nervous what has gotten into me?
"Well, your class is combining with my creative writing class, so you can come with me. Just be more careful when walking down the halls. You really don't want you getting into a fight people slushy around here." She says with a straight face.
Brittany's P.O.V
I wanted so bad to be mad at her I just starting running this school and not being a push over, but that was a blush that just tainted her olive skin and it was so adorable. Was that blush for me or because she was embarrassed by running into someone? Probably embarrassed by running into someone I mean really Brittany why would she be blushing for you? I thought to myself.
I let her help me up and loved the little tingles I felt where she had touched my skin.
I wanted so badly to be mad at her, but I could just get lost in those eyes. I looked her over and shewas dressed up today and looked stunning. 'Ok Brittany you can't be thinking like this.' Of course, she is in the class combining with mine. I mean that is just my luck. My view got ruined this morning and now I have to be around her thinking about what I saw.
We walked down the hall falling into a comfortable silence.
"So, are you ready for practice today?" Softball was a safe subject right, I mean that's how we came to know each other.
"Yeah, I'm excited to play again." She smiled and I couldn't help but let a small smile grace my features.
"That's good; I love to know I have hard working players on my team."
"Well I will do what I can to please you, captain." Ok I definitely like the sound of that, woah, wait, did she just flirt with me? No, she couldn't have. I was just thinking things. We arrived at the door to my homeroom and I tell her to just follow me.
"Ms. Pierce, so glad you could grace us with your presence. Thankfully our guest hasn't arrived yet and you didn't get the chance to interrupt."
"I'm sorry sir, Santana here has only been at our school for a little over a week now and she got lost on the way to class. She plays ball on the team now, so what kind of captain or even student would I be if I didn't help out." I said to him smirking.
"Ok, I'll let it slide this time, but you know not to let it happen again."
"Of course sir." I said putting on the most serious face I could muster. I lead Santana to the back of the class where my desk was and since there isn't any other seats I pulled her up a chair beside the desk.
Santana's P.O.V
"Well I will do what I can to please you, captain." Ok did I really just say that? Was I flirting with her? Ok, I'm a natural flirt, everyone that knew me knew that so it must have been second nature, no big deal. Wait, she hadn't said anything yet oh no. I seen her glance at me out the corner of her eyes with a slight smirk on her face, so I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
She handled the teacher that was trying to reprimand us with ease and lead me to the back of the class room. I started looking around for an extra desk, but I didn't see any. Brittany then pulled out a chair from the back corner of the room and slid it up beside her desk for me. I feel little butterflies in my stomach again. Why is this happening? There is nothing to be nervous about.
"Ok class, I hate to inform you of this, but our guest speaker has just cancelled. We have to keep the two classes together, so we will put in a movie for you guys to watch." Brittany's teacher announced.
The teacher went and grabbed a DVD case out of his desk. It was Freedom Writers, I loved that movie. I looked over at Brittany and seen her eyes cut away quickly. Was she looking at me? I lean over to her to whisper in her ear. "I love this movie. It's been a while since I have seen it though."
"It's one of my favorites." She states simply. 'She really doesn't seem like much of a people person.' I thought to myself.
Brittany's P.O.V
I seen Santana look my way and I looked away. I didn't even realize I was staring at her until she looked at me. I feel her lean over and whisper in my ear. "I love this movie. It's been a while since I have seen it though." I felt goose bumps all up and down my arms. The hair on the back of my neck was standing at attention. Why was she torturing me like this?
"It's one of my favorites." I stated back trying not to let any emotion hint in my voice.
We sat silent as the movie starts. With the lights out and a movie playing, in a way, it felt like a date and that made me feel all unicorns and rainbows on the inside. A date with Santana? Yes, I believe I would be the luckiest person alive. She is gorgeous and from what I knew about her she was just amazing.
One of her hands was resting open on my desk and she was propped up on the other.
She was so close to me I could feel the warmth radiating off her body. I glanced down at her hand and all I wanted to do was take it into mine. I scooted to the other side of my chair, as much on the edge as I could sit, so I wouldn't do something irrational.
We continued to watch the movie and soon the bell was ringing for us to go to our next class. I stood up quickly and grabbed my things.
"Brittany?" I hear her call.
"What's up?"
"Thanks for helping me get to the class. Could you show me how to get to my next from here?" She asks sweetly.
"Sure, what do you have?"
"Trig. with Mr. Cole room 208."
"Ok, it will be easier to just show you. Do you need to stop by your locker for anything?"
"No, I have everything I need."
"Ok, follow me."
I walked her to her class which was very close to mine and it gave me the perfect excuse to spend more time around her. We talked a little about her moving here and if she liked it. Obviously her dad had a job that required him to move, but she wouldn't go into detail about it. I told her I would see her at practice and we parted ways. 'Maybe practice won't be that bad. I mean she does look hot with her outfit on.' I love the opportunity of getting to know more about Santana Lopez. Even if I counld't be with her, I think she would make a super friend.
