Chapter 13

Santana's P.O.V

I was such in a hurry to get out of the house that I didn't even bother to look at the time. I realised I was about forty five minutes early for school when I got in my car. I guess I have time to stop for coffee then. As I made my way to the only starbucks I put my music on, blasting the volume up so I wouldn't fall asleep behind the wheel. Usually I would have sang along but I had troubles keeping my eyes open. Somehow using even more energy to sing didn't make much sense.

Ten minutes later I was finally there. I parked my car and quickly made my way inside. I was surprised to find the place almost empty. Usually I had to wait in line but hey I wasn't complaining, far, far from it. I ordered a stronger coffee that I usually get. I couldn't really fall asleep in class.

A few minutes later I was sitting at a table, looking at my now empty cup. I wanted another one, but I didn't want to get up. I was being ridiculous and I knew it. I placed my elbow on the table and leaned my chin in my hand. I was so tired even my head seemed heavy. I closed my eyes for a second to brace myself for the day.

When I opened my eyes there was another cup beside mine. I blinked. The hell? I blinked again as if it could magically explain how that second cup got there. I heard someone snickered beside me and I turn my head to find Brittany standing next to me, dressed in her cheerios uniform like always and holding a cup of coffee in her hand. She was barely holding back a smirk.

I looked at the cup and then back at her. "Hey." I said, probably as confused as I ever had been.

"Hey yourself." She said as she made her way closer to me.

"Did you?" I asked, pointing at the cup in front of me.

She snickered. "I figured it was empty when I saw you pouting at the cup." She said pointing at the empty cup as well.

I gasped. "I was not pouting!"

"Of course you weren't." Brittany said smirking just before taking a sip of her coffee.

I looked at her for a moment. "Are you making fun of me?"

Brittany used her cup to point at herself. "I would never do such a thing." She said, putting a little too much emphasis on the 'never'. I narrowed my eyes at her. I tried to be intimidating but I guess I failed when she just laughed at me. "Aww don't pout." She said, the teasing evident in her voice.

I decided to ignore it. I took a sip of coffee and was surprised to find it was exactly the same I had previously ordered. I stood up and walked to Brittany. "How did you know?" I asked lifting the cup so she'd know what I was talking about.

"I'm full of surprises." She said as she started walking away from me.

"I can see that." I followed her lead. "Do you want a ride?" I asked her.

She stopped and turned around, facing me. "Are you gonna fall asleep on me?" She said, the smirk back on her face.

"You're so funny." I whispered as I walked past Brittany. She turned around to face me as I did so. I opened my door and looked at her as I did so. "Hurry up before I change my mind." Apparently she didn't need to be told twice.

As I drove away from the shop I looked at Brittany who had her leg shaking. Someone can't hold their coffee. I smiled and focused back on the road.

My cup, my cup
Saying what's up to my cup, my cup
More of a friend than a silly pup

For a second I was taken aback. I stopped the car at a red light but kept looking straight ahead. It was the first time I heard Brittany sing. I loved it. I looked at her, surprised to find her looking back at me. She had stopped singing.

I smirked. "Were you just singing about a cup?" I asked, turning my head to look back at the road now that the light had turned green. I could still feel her eyes on me. But she didn't say anything. I quickly glanced at her and she was blushing. "Awww you're blushing." I teased her the same way she had done a couple of minutes earlier.

"Shut up." She said blushing even more. She was adorable. She turned away from me to look at the cars that were already in the school parking. I couldn't help but smile. She turned around to face me and I glanced at her for a second before focusing on the road. "I like it when you smile like that." She whispered. I blushed. I tried to stay focused on the road but she was making it really hard. I glanced back at Brittany and she was just sitting there looking all adorable and smiling at me.

I found an empty slot and parked the car. "Awww you're blushing." She teased me like I had done before.

I unbuckled and turned looked at her. "Shut up." I said as I moved to open the door.

"Make me." I froze. Was she? I turned to face her again. She was looking at me with that smirk again. And a look I had never seen in her eyes.

"Are you flirting with me, Pierce? I asked raising an eyebrow.

She opened the door and get out of the car. She popped her only her head in the car and looked at me. "I would never do such a thing." Before I could even registered what she had just said the door was closed and Brittany was walking away from me.

She was definitely flirting with me. And I liked it.
