Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews everyone! :) Hope I don't disappoint!
Santana's POV
Maybe it was the heat from the blazing Mexico sun but I didn't feel up to doing much of anything. I wanted to go back home and stay in bed until I felt my body give reassurance that it was ready to move, but thanks to Señor Buzz-kill, doubt that will happen.
"Hola! Hola!" He began, entering the classroom clapping his hands with excitement, "I have exciting news." His heavy Mexican accent taking away from the words he was saying.
"I hope the news is that he's quitting." I heard Maria say with a high-pitched laugh.
"I hope so too, maybe then I'll finally get some much needed rest." Maria gave me a high-five.
"If you two are done..." We rolled our eyes at him, "Anyway, I have your new pen pals for this semester."
Carlos raised his hand as Señor BK passed out our note cards.
"Yes Carlos?"
"Why do we always get new pen pals? There's no point. My pen pals talk to me for like a week then disappear."
"Maybe it's not your pen pals that's the problem." Maria said, I snickered at her.
Carlos scoffed, "And what about your pen pals then, huh?" He asked her.
"Please, I don't have time for pen pals. I have things to do . . . like your brother."
Maria gave me a high five as she laughed and shook her head at her own joke as the class "oohed" around us.
"Well, this semester will be different I can reassure you all." Señor Butthead said, trying to gain order back in his classroom, "We have some great pen pals from North Carolina to Ohio. I can promise that all our pen pals will write back with excitement..."
"Our?" I questioned.
"Yes, I'm getting a pen pal too. Only fair."
"Right, that's so fair." I twirled the pen pal around in my hands.
"This is totally going to blow big time. I say we do the same thing we did last semester." Maria said in my ear, "Write these losers for a week then go to the mall during 'penny pal' time." I smiled at her.
"I'm with you; these pen pals are a total waste of time. Like seriously? They want to know about our culture? Ha! Not even, they just need some credit for something."
"Pathetic if you ask me."
"Very."
"Who'd you get anyway?"
"Uh..." I turned over the note card, "Some chick named Brittany Pierce from Lima, Ohio. You?"
"Some guy named Finn Hudson from the same place."
"What kind of name is Lima for a city?"
"Maybe Pinto was taken."
"Ha!"
"Come on, the mall is calling me...Hard."
I grabbed my book bag and dropped the card into it as I exited the room with Maria's hand looped around my arm.
