Santana lay texting Brittany song lyrics long after Brittany had told her she was going to sleep, every time she attempted to close her eyes she ended up less sleepy. She put in her earphones hoping the music would soothe her busy brain, but it just made her fantasize about being back home with Brittany, hence texting her lyrics. She must have sent over fifty messages and eventually fell asleep with her phone on her chest and music playing quietly in her ears, at what must have been at least 1.30am, late for a school night, when she normally forced herself to sleep at 11pm otherwise she'd be a complete bitch all day (more than usual) because she had to get up at 6am. She'd go to the gym for half an hour to get her day set off on the right foot in the right mood, and then classes started between half 7 and 8.
Santana woke to her alarm playing into her ears, amazingly the earphones had stayed in her ears all night, and her phone still had a little bit of the battery remaining. She knew Brittany wouldn't reply to her messages until at least half 8, when she was on the way to school. She plugged her phone in and pulled on some shorts, a sports bra and a loose fitting crop top, laced up her trainers and pulled her hair into a messy bun, not bothering with any make up.
She then made her way down to the gym on the first floor, it wasn't busy, just the regular people that were always there when she was. There was the hot guy in the corner, building a lot of muscle. Then there was a couple of cute girls that were always so full of giggles it was unbelievable for that time of day, and they always went together. Today there was another girl on the treadmill with no one, and didn't look like the type of person that had much to talk about or anyone to talk to. A quick scan of the room and Santana ignored everyone else in the room, other than a quick sideways glance at the guy at the other side of the room, he was cute and there was no denying it.
After her workout Santana went back up to her room to shower, she noticed that Liliana was still fast asleep with the duvet pulled over her head. 10 minutes later she returned wrapped in a towel, with one around her head too. She pulled on her clothes quickly hoping that Liliana wouldn't wake up to see her in the nude. She didn't have a problem with her body, she knew she was hot as hell, but completely stark naked was another level, and only Brittany got to see that.
She was in luck though, she was just deciding what top to wear, standing there in her jeans and bra, when Liliana woke up, she could see out the corner of her eye that she was staring her way, and she didn't particularly have a problem with that. She didn't want to say anything though or make it obvious that she knew that she was being stared at, so she just carried on getting ready, pulling a tight fitting plain long sleeved top over her head. She didn't bother blow drying her hair, combed through it and pulled it back into a bun high on her head. She put on a little bit of mascara and powdered her face, and tidied away the products she'd used.
Her dressing table was very organised, she did have a slight OCD issue, and everything had to be spotless and lined up neatly, she hated mess.
"Morning sleepy head," she said to Liliana who was now obviously sat up on her bed watching Santana get herself ready. "You up for talking yet? I wanna know why a girl I've met a few times suddenly decided it was ok to let herself into my room."
"Yeah I s'pose I should explain that shouldn't I," Liliana said, reaching for her phone and Santana assumed she was answering a text message, the way she stopped for a few seconds as she appeared to read the screen, typed something and then set her phone down beside her. "Well I had a bit of a fall out with my boyfriend, and since my normal roommate is away at the moment he was staying in there with me, and we had this huge fight and it was horrible and he practically kicked me out of my own room and I didn't know anyone else and you were the only one I had even a remote chance of staying with…" she explained with a lump in her throat, trying to hold back tears. Clearly whatever had happened had been a lot worse than she wanted to explain and she obviously didn't want to go into details, Santana could hardly blame her really. She was shocked at the 'I didn't know anyone else' part though, that's what baffled her before. Liliana seemed to know plenty of people when they'd been at cheer practise, even if did also seem like a manipulative bitch.
"Ah it's okay honey," Santana replied, going to sit beside the distraught girl, and put an arm around her, offering a comforting squeeze of encouragement. "It'll be okay. I know you don't want to tell me everything, but that's okay. I'll be here if you need someone to tell, and you can stay here as long as you want, I don't mind, I get a bit lonely in here by myself sometimes." she admitted, not making a big deal about it. She actually really wished Liliana would stay as long as possible, she didn't really mind who it was, she just needed to make some friends, being lonely and longing for Brittany to constantly be at her side wasn't at all satisfying.
"Thanks, Santana. I appreciate it a lot, not many people are nice to me."
"Well since I'm a bitch too, I'll be super nice to you. Whenever you're ready to tell me the whole story about what happened I'll be here ready and waiting, I do like a bit of a drama." she giggled.
Santana left Liliana to get herself ready over her side of the room while she made sure she had all her books ready, and then just sat on the bed waiting for her, she thought they may as well walk to class together, they were just across the hall from each other for first period English lit class. While she waited, Santana sat on her bed with her legs tucked underneath her, texting Brittany, not mentioning anything more about Liliana. She'd got her lyrics spamming the night before and replied with a lot of lovey dovey emoticons, which Santana had replied to in the same way. Then Brittany had sent her a picture she'd taken in the mirror of the cute outfit she was wearing. She'd got leg warmers on her arms again like she'd started as a trend a couple of years before, which Santana thought was super cute.
"Ready to go Lil?" Santana said saying goodbye to Brittany and putting her phone in her pocket, glancing at the time - if they didn't leave soon they were going to be late.
"Yeah sure, hang on," she picked up her bag and put a couple more books into it before nodding towards the door. Liliana was quite different to Santana in the way she dressed, and she'd spent ages straightening her hair and piling on a considerable amount of make up that wasn't entirely necessary.
