Chapter 10
Santana
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up
I'm about to break!
Ugh...
I woke up with my alarm blasting off Linkin Park's One Step Closer". Another day. Sigh. I stretched out in bed and prepare for school. School. Meaning, another day with that bitch slapping Barbie. Rawr... My day's just starting and I'm already in a bad mood.
I went down for breakfast with a scrawl on my face. Coffee. I need coffee! ASAP!
"Good morning Mija!" Papi greeted but I didn't respond and continued to walk towards the coffee maker.
" Is there something wrong Santanita?" Mami asked with concern. Again, I didn't respond and started chugging down coffee. I need to drink coffee first before I respond coz if not, hell will break loose and I don't want that to happen, specially to my parents or let's just say that I wanted to be sparred from all their rants.
They waited for me knowing that I need my daily dose of caffeine. Mami placed my breakfast on the table. I sit on my chair.
"Thanks Mami. Morning Papi" I said almost void of emotion as I sip my coffee.
" Ok, what's wrong with you baby girl? You were like that since you went home yesterday."
"It's just school Mami."
"School? That's...new...? I thought you like school?" My Papi asked curiously, glancing away from his newspaper.
"Yeah I like school. But... yeah school." I said
"So? What's with school?" Mami asked giving Papi a side glance that he reciprocate like they're talking again with their eyes. Concerned and intrigued? Hmmm...
" ugh..." I slammed my head in the table with my hands as cushion. I don't want to damage my precious head.
"...ok...?" Papi said confused and I sighed and continued.
"Ok. Do you remember Bitch slapping bacon whore Barbie?"
" Language Mija" Mami scolded
" Yes we remember Mija. What's with the pretty girl?" Papi asked with a sparkle in his eyes. Seriously? Again?! I looked at him and shook my head with irritation.
" Well, that Bit... I mean, Barbie, attends my school and that we share the same class. What's worst is that she's my book partner! I mean...I just... Ugh!" I rumbled my hair in irritation. " I mean, I cannot stand that girl! I have a feeling that she's going to slap me every time I see her! I even had a nightmare with her slapping me with a slab of bacon! Can you feel my terror!? And now, she's making me apologize for what I did to her but I already said I'm sorry but then again she slapped me and so I slapped her to get even and she's making me apologize!? Seriously? What the fu-dge was that supposed to mean?! " I rant throwing my hands in the air explaining. My mom refilled my coffee and placed it in front of me and I chugged it down like a viking to his beer.
" Thanks Mami" I sighed shortly and drink again. I noticed my parents looking at each other creepy. I shrugged and turned my attention to my breakfast.
" Well... I think that you should apologize."
I gaped at Papi
"I agree with your Papi, Mija. The slapping incident will not happen if you didn't do what you did to her in the first place" Mom said factly.
"Really guys?! Really?! I did apologize! I never apologize but I did! I never ask forgiveness, except from you guys and B, but I don't know what power that girl posses that had me say sorry!" I whined
" Yes, you did say sorry but you insulted her. She must be hurt." Papi sympathizing with Blondie. I gaped at him.
" How did you know I insulted her? Wait don't answer that. Brittany." I said and they nod in unison.
"You should apologize Mija."
" Actually, I already did Mami, yesterday, after our argument, but she rejected me. I mean, my apology." I said
" Oh, You should just try again. What's her name by the way?"
"Oh... That..."
" Yeah?" Asked Papi
"shedidntgivemehername" I mumbled through my coffee cup.
" Beg your pardon Santanita?"
I sighed and said "She didn't give me her name. I asked her yesterday or rather yelled because she's walking away from me after she said no. I'll just ask around later. I really have to go. See you later guys" I said and kissed them.
Little did I know that my parents were exchanging knowing looks with a smirk plastered on their faces and my mom started texting with dad leaning on her shoulder dreamily.
" Dinner this Friday at Breadstix. Can't wait! :)"
Then a reply.
"! ! ! ! ;) "
.
I parked my newly customized, gorgeously looking Shelby baby at my favorite parking space which is under a tree and next to the Cheerios reserved parking. I got out and saw JBI harassing a freshman for God knows what his fetish fantasies this time.
" Hey yo Lesbro!" Puck greeted and did our handshake
" Morning to you, too Puck. I believe you've delivered what I've ask of you yesterday?" I asked smirking and so was he.
" Lopez, anything you've asked, the Puckzilla delivered. You'll just have to wait and see." Puck said smugly.
" Thanks Puck! I know that I can count on you." I said grinning evilly at my male counter part and gave him a side hug because well, he's taller than me, duh.
He placed his hand on my shoulder and we walked together in the direction of my locker where Brittany's getting her books. As if she needs them. she beamed at us
" Good morning guys!"she bubbly greeted giving us hugs and a kiss on the cheek. Yes, even Puck. He's like our big bro, you perv.
"How's football practice Pucky?" Britt asked Puck.I snorted because of B's nickname for Puck and Puck's trying not to show his pout and puppy dog eyes while he whined.
"Beeeeee... Don't call me that in school. The Puckster's gotta keep up with the rep you know..."He said in a hushed tone so that no one will hear him whining. "About practice, just had some workout in the gym this morning. Gotta keep these guns intact." He said showing the big muscles in his arm. Any girl in school would've swooned by this but we're not just any girl. What I did instead was to cling in his arm like a monkey and he tried to swing me around showing off how strong he is. And then, we heard a girly shriek of horror in the hockey players' locker room.
"Aaaaaaakkkkkkk!"
I stood up and looked in the direction where the noise was coming from and saw Anderson coming out, wrapped in a towel with his newly dyed green short afro. Oh, also all of his body hair. Ewww! He looked like a pretzel stick dipped in green tea flavored chocolate.
I smirked looking at Puck and gave him a high-five! Britt grinned at us, shaking her head.
Anderson's down. One more to go. I evilly thought. I leaned to my locker and waited for another scream of horror.
Bitch, you're next! *evil laugh*
Quinn
Oh whoa….
Oh whoa….
I took the sides of my pillow and stuck it in my ears. Not again... I mentally cried.
And I was like...
Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
Nooooo!
Blaaaggg!
Ughooowwchhh... I fell out of my bed as I try to reach my phone in my bed side table to shut the Biebs from crying out loud.
I was rubbing a sore spot in my hip as I went to my bathroom pouting to get ready for school.
I came out of the closet; see what I did here, and choose another dress because I don't know why all my jeans miraculously disappeared from my closet. Oh well, I'll just ask mom. I thought as I slip on my white chucks.
I went down stairs straight to the kitchen and saw my parents.
" Morning Mommy. Morning Daddy" I greeted as mom placed my breakfast in front of me. Yum!
" Morning Quinnie!" Mom kissed my head
" Morning Pumpkin! How's your first day at school? I haven't asked yesterday because you're so caught up with Rachel?" Dad asked while I was munching my beloved crispy bacon causing me to pause and slowly swallowed my food.
"Well, it's nice to know that Rachel and I attend the same high school. Other than that, well.." I hesitated telling them about the Latina
" Yes dear?" Mom asked as she sips her orange juice
" Um, well, there's this girl..."
" Yes...?" Dad quickly asked intrigued. I looked at him. My eyebrows wrinkling a bit, confused, and thinking of how to say, " Well dad there's this pretty looking bitch girl whom I had a throw down yesterday. No slash that, a week ago and I slapped her so hard because the first time I saw her, she was being nosey and I saw her rolling on the floor laughing at me and before I can attack her, mom stopped me from doing it and then, I saw her again in the grocery store and she was apologizing for being nosey but then again, she insulted me so I have no other choice but to slap the living out of her." Sigh. I just cleared my throat and continued
" As I was saying... There's this girl in one of classes and the teacher made her my partner, but, I don't know. I'm not getting any good vibes with her. I find her, irritating... I don't know" I shrugged
" Oh? Why's that?" Mom asked, eyes looking side ways as she busied herself cutting her now looking baby food pancake. She too is acting weird. What's with my parents? Wait! Is she pregnant? Am I having a baby brother or sister? Hmmm...
" Well, first, she's a nerd with a bad mouth. She's got a bad attitude. She's annoying and she's just... Ugh! She's pretty but she's a bitch!"
" Language pumpkin" dad scolded
" Sorry Daddy... But, do you get what I'm saying here? How can I get along with her if she's... If she's like that!" And I shove three pieces of bacon in my mouth and angrily chewed. Mom just shook her head, grinning as if she caught on something amusing.
" But she's "pretty" though huh baby girl" dad teases. Smirking at me.
" Daaaaddd..." I whined as I shove another bacon in my mouth and another...and another...and another and I pout. Grease giving my pout a glossy effect.
" Quinnie, sweetie, just used you charm with her. You've been there. You have her place when we were in Texas. You'll know how to handle her. But, be sure that we won't be called in the principal's office again" Mom reminded me. I shrugged and continued devouring the heavenly goodness in front of me.
Yeah, well. I've been called in the principal's office a couple of times for being ... Aggressive... I didn't do it on purpose... I swear. It's just that I have great reflexes that when guys try to take their advances on me by touching me, my hand, or my knee, or my foot made contact with their body part. It's not my fault that they're in close proximity when that happened.
Oh! I need to ask mom about my jeans.
" Hey Mom, have you seen all my jeans? I was looking through my closet and I can't seem to find any. Not even one." I asked and drank my orange juice. Mom looked at me and then to her "pancakes"
"Oh... have you checked your hamper?"She asked
"Yeah, but i didn't seen any" I shrugged
"Maybe it's still in the laundy room. I'll check later but you look so pretty with your dresses Quinnie." Mom said grinning
"Yeah, but I look good in every clothes I wear. It's just that it's getting a little chilly and I dont want my legs to become popsicles. Maybe I'll just use some of my legging in case that it gets a little cold for me." I said and went to the bathroom to brushed my teeth. I gathered my bag and keys, kissed my parents goodbye and head out to school with Brandon.
.
I arrived at school, parked my car under the shade of a large tree and went straight to my locker to get my books. I heard a girl shrieking in horror, thinking if she saw a big spider or a cockroach that made her scream in horror. Oh well.
"Quinn!" Rachel came running and then jumped at me. Thanks to cheerleading, my reflexes were quick to catcher her and she clanged to me like a toddler. I can't help but to laugh at her antics while I held her.
"Good morning Rachie." I said laughing
I placed her down gently. I closed my locker and scanned her OOTD. She's wearing a sleeveless button up shirt tucked in her illegally short skirt, knee-high socks and her penny loafers, looking like the fantasy of a japanese business man with a very dark specific fetish but I actually dig her look. I looked around to see if anybody saw her when she jumped at me because if that happened, well hello undies. My protective nature kicking in. Thank goodness, there's no one around.
" Good morning to you too Quinn." She said beaming. " I believe it's still early and I want you to meet some of my friends here." She said while pulling me to the opposite direction if my locker. We stopped in front of a black girl, two Asians and a guy I believe is gay because of his outfit and my gaydar's going wild transmitting " g-g-g-gay-g-g-gay-gay-g-g-gay"
"Hey guys!" She greeted them excitedly. They turned to her and looked at me from head to foot. Examining me like I'm under a microscope. I looked at them, not intimidated by their stares and stood up confidently.
"Good morning Rachel" said the gay kid
" What's up girl.." Said the black girl while the Asians just smiled at her
"Guys! I would like you to meet my best friend, Quinn Fabray. She was away for a while but then again, she's back here in Lima and attends here in McKinley as a senior. Quinn, these are my friends and we all go to Glee club." Rachel declared proudly.
" It's a pleasure to meet you Quinn. I'm Mike and this is my girlfriend Tina. I believe that we share the same chemistry class?" Said the Asian guy as he shook my hand and his girlfriend gave me a shy wave.
" I'm positive that we do, Mike" I said smiling
"Hi I'm Kurt and should I say that you look amazing in that dress." He complimented and shook my hand enthusiastically.
"Hey girl! I'm Mercedes! We share the last class together with my girl Tina here."
" ...Hi Mercedes" last class? Meaning? Yeah... I shook her hand and I have to ask..
" Um, you, we go to Lit together?" She nodded
"Oh! Um, do you happen to know Santana Lopez?" I asked and they all took a breath. Weird.
" W-what's with Santana?" Tina stutters and they all nod in question
" Oh well, we had an argument yesterday after class and she said that I don't know who I'm messing with, clearly I don't that bitch, excuse my French, because I'm new here so she said to me to ask around who "Santana Lopez" is. I'm guessing you know her?" I finished while I looked at them with their mouth hanging open and shocked faces including Rachel. I squint my eyes and furrowed my brows in question.
" Oh my God" Kurt gasped and held both hands in his chest
" Girl, you better stay away from Satan" Mercedes warned
" Wait, what? Why? " I asked confused
"J-just... S-stay a-a-away from S-San Santana" Tina said looking afraid while Mike comforts her. I tilted my head still in question
" Hey, she's not that bad!" Rachel defended and I raised her a brow
" Not that bad Rachel? Not that bad? It's a miracle that your girl, Quinn here's still in one piece! Nobody messes up with Satan you know that Rachel." Kurt said looking at Rachel and then to me.
" Quinn, honey, if you know whats good for you, stay away from Santana. We're her friends here and even us doesn't have immunity to her wrath except Rachel here, sometimes, because she's tiny and her best friend Brittany. She maybe a nerd looking hot piece of shit but she ain't no angel girl. She doesn't give a damn if your bigger or taller than her. You don't want to mess up with the devil's spawn. " Mercedes warned, trying to scare me.
" Really?" I asked with a raised brow and a smirk. They all looked at me puzzled.
" Yeah. That's Santana. She's cool though but really, you don't want to be on her bad side Quinn. She doesn't back down on any fight or argument as far as I know" Mike stated
" She was co captain of the Cheerios for two years along side with Brittany until she quit last year because of a sprained knee. She never joined after she healed. Even after Coach Silvester offered her a brand new Range Rover. She's the school's HBIC ever since she stepped her foot here. But really, Quinn, she's a great friend to have." Rachel explained and defended Santana to her friends.
That's why I haven't seen her in nationals for the last 3 years that we were competing with the Cheerios, I thought.
" HBIC? But she apologized to me yesterday after our argument."
They all gasped more shocked than the first.
" Oh sweet Lord have mercy" Mercedes gasped
" It's the end of the world." Tina said, now crying as Mike comforts his girlfriend
" Satan has a heart?" Kurt questioned shocked
" See! I told you guys!She's a nice person!" Rachel beaming with pride for her friend Santana.
" She never. May I just repeat, never, did Satan apologize or rather have mercy on her preys. She didn't even apologize to Principal Figgins after she stepped on his toe with her stilettos last junior prom! Figgins was the one who apologized and sent her to the clinic just to make sure that she didn't sprained her foot while he, however, lost a toe nail!" Kurt cried in horror shaking his head in incident.
" Well, she did apologize to me after I told her apology's not accepted" I said as if it's nothing and they just gape at me in disbelief
" You told her No!?" They all said in unison. Even Rachel.
" Um, yeah? Why?"
" Nobody says 'no' to Santana Lopez" Mike informed and they all nodded in agreement
" But I just did." I said plainly
" Honey, that is why we're warning you. You should hide yourself from Santana before something bad happens to you." Kurt warned
I laughed lightly on this and said without any concern,
"What else could she possibly do? Poke me with a stick?" I said while they all looked behind me looking terrified. I turned around to see what they're looking at. I saw three bulky looking jocks approaching us. I guess they're in the football team.
" Quinn Fabray?" The tallest guy asked
"Yeah, that would-" before I could finish my sentence I felt like I've just hit an iceberg!
"Ahhhhh!" Rachel and her friends shrieked. I stood there shocked eyes close to prevent the icy drink from getting into my eyes but failed because I can feel it sting and my mouth hanging open because shit! That thing's quite freaking cold!
A deep voice, one of the jock said
" Santana says she hopes you like cherry flavor"
"..or Blueberry...!"
"...or grape!"
I can hear their booming voices. Laughing loudly and giving each other high fives.
I felt someone pulling me closer.
" Oh my God. I'm so sorry Quinn, I'll talk to Santana about this." Rachel said
" We have to get her cleaned up. You know how cold slush facials are. I swear, if assholes could fly, this place would be an airport! " Kurt said and he couldn't be more accurate than that. I shivered
" Let me just get my emergency slushie kit from my locker." Rachel said as she quickly opened her locker and proceed to the nearest bathroom together with Kurt. I need to ask her a lot of questions. That sleepover needs to happen soon.
I can feel my face turning red, not because of the slushie but because of that evil bitch! Oh you just wait Lopez. You just wait. Quinn Fabray is coming your way.
Santana
"Quinn Fabray? " the booming voice of Dave
3...2...1...
Splash! Splash! Splash!
BOOM!
"Ahhhhh!" A group of students shrieked.
In your face Barbie! I smirked at Puck and gave him another high-five.
I leaned away from my locker, linked pinkies with Britt, while whistling Kill Bill whistle song "Twisted Nerve".
See you in class bitches!
