Friday 6th of July

It was the last day of school. After that day the girls would be seniors, they were both very excited.

They used the same routine that had been going on since September. Santana knocked for Brittany and they drove into school.

That morning's journey was filled with chatter about their plans for the last day. There were celebrations and goodbyes to be had, all mixed into one day. The girls talked over the radio which was playing Beyoncé's 'single ladies'.

When they arrived at school, they parked the car and met Quinn.

"Morning B, hi S." she greeted.

The couple responded with polite smiles and nods. They made their way to the gym and took a seat on the bleachers. They sat at the front. Quinn was the captain of the Cheerios so she took up the important position in the middle and her two best friends sat either side of her.

The gym flooded with cheerleaders as they all took their seats behind the trio. A few minutes later their coach-Sue Sylvester-marched in. The Cheerios all sat up straight in intimidation.

Sue stood in front of them with a scowl. Her facial expression then softened - much to the student's surprise - and her body language relaxed.

"Girls, I have called this meeting to thank you all. This year you all did great and I would be honored for you to come back and rejoin the squad next year. I'd like to give a special thank you to Quinn" she said as she turned to the mentioned blonde. "You have been an exceptional leader and have lead our team to victory."

Quinn beamed up at the woman in the tracksuit. It was rare that the Coach would say something neutral, never mind positive so it was a real treat to see that side of her.

"I hope you aren't going soft on us coach." Santana teased.

"Definitely not sandbags. You girls did well this year but I'll be back to shouting and making you run laps in September. I'm expecting us to win another national title so keep in shape over the summer. I'm not letting any fatties on my squad!" The coach explained.

"And she's back." Santana teased. She appreciated the woman's kind words, even if mean ones followed shortly after.


Next, the girls went to their lockers. The school had come up with the idea to cover the lockers in white paper so students could write messages to each other and everyone could take home the paper to keep.

Santana left a red marker and a black marker by her locker for people to use. Brittany left a whole box of markers in every colour of the rainbow.

"This is a really good idea; I'm excited to see what people will write!" Brittany said enthusiastically. Santana nodded in agreement.

"Here, let me be the first to sign yours." Santana pleaded as she took the yellow marker (Brittany favourite colour) from Brittany's hand and wrote a message.

She pulled away to look at her own locker where Brittany had written a message. It read:

San,

I love you to the moon and back, this has been the best year of my life and I can't wait to experience senior year with my one true love!

Britt xx

Santana's heart melted at the kind words scrawled across her locker in curly writing. She turned to her side to find Brittany looking back with a similar expression. They were joined in a kiss. Their innocent kiss suddenly turned desperate and sloppy and Santana had to pull away.

"Come on, we need to stop before I drag you into the janitors closet. Also we're going to be late to the glee club meeting." She said with a smirk. Brittany pouted at the loss of contact but the smile returned to her face when glee club was mentioned.


The girls walked into the choir room for the final time that year and took their usual seats at the back. They smiled as they looked around the room taking in the atmosphere. Santana would have never dreamed of even talking to most of the people in that room, never mind being friends with them.

"Final meeting of the year" Mr Schuester announced as he entered the room. "I'd like to start off by saying thank you all so much. You've brightened up my days and my job, I used to come into school and count down the hours before I could leave and go home. But now I come into school and look forward to seeing you guys. This has been an amazing year and there are bonds that have been made right here in this room that I'm sure will last a lifetime." He said passionately.

"I hope to see you all next year. With a few newbies I'm sure we can win nationals!" The whole club clapped and cheered. "Well that's all I have to say really so you're dismissed."

"Actually Mr Schue, we have a little something prepared for you." Rachel stood up. She took him by the hand and lead him to the auditorium. 12 stools were laid out in a semicircle. The club took their seats on the stools and Mr Schue sat in the audience.

"We'd like to thank you." Rachel began saying. "You've changed our lives by forming this club. Before glee, I was just annoying Jewish girl with a big dream."

"I was just a football player." Finn stated.

"I was a bully and a bitch." Santana said.

"I was alone." Brittany added.

The whole club gave a statement and a melancholic atmosphere fell over them.

The strings began playing and the guitar played the introduction. Rachel opened her mouth and let the melody flow from her body. The club had agreed to sing 'to sir, with love' to their teacher as the lyrics summed up their feelings perfectly.

The students didn't even make it up to chorus before tears began to trickle down cheeks. They were all going to miss the club and each other over the summer.

After the song finished, Mr Schue thanked them again and proceeded to give them all hugs. The club left the auditorium but Santana and Rachel remained.

"I'm going to miss this place." Santana said solemnly.

"I agree. I know we got off to a rough start but maybe next year we could be friends. It's our last chance before we all leave and I don't know whether we will see each other again." Rachel explained.

"That sounds good. I'm sorry I've been a bitch to you in the past. This year has been a turning point in my life and I'm trying to be nicer." Santana smiled at her. "I think Britt has straightened me out. Well not really because we're a gay couple but you know what I mean." She rambled. They both laughed together.

"Okay, I'm going to hug you know." Rachel stated before wrapping her arms around the Latina. Santana felt oddly comfortable with the whole exchange.

They smiled at each other once more before leaving the auditorium. Brittany was waiting outside for them.

"Look at you two, a new friendship has blossomed!" Brittany teased. She took Santana's pinky and linked it with her own for old time's sake.

"Yes, we've agreed to be friends next year." Santana said. She lowered her voice so only the blonde and Rachel could hear. "Especially now I know she's on team gay." Santana winked.

"San!" Brittany scolded; she didn't want to overstep their boundaries.

"No it's alright Brittany, I'm hoping that I'll be spending a little more time with Quinn next year so I'm sure we will be hanging out the four us." Rachel expressed.

"Good, then we can go on gay double dates!" Brittany said excitedly. The two brunettes just giggled.


When lunch time rolled around, the girls decided to sit with glee club. They sat opposite Quinn and Rachel who were sat very close together. Their hands were linked under the table. Neither of them was quite ready to go public with their relationship. Brittany and Santana were smiling at them; they'd never seen their best friend so happy.

They then went to check their lockers and found the paper was covered with sweet messages from their fellow students and a couple from teachers too. Reading the messages gave Santana a warm fuzzy feeling in her stomach.

"Can I sign?" Quinn asked as she appeared behind the girls. They both nodded and she wrote a message on each of their lockers. They all shared a group hug.

"Oh Q, did you want to come round today? Britts and I are going to celebrate school finishing."

"I would love to but I'm actually going round to Rach's house today." Quinn said politely. Brittany and Santana looked to each other and smirked with a knowing look.

"Ooo what are you going to do?" Santana questioned.

"I think she's got some game she wants to play." Quinn answered.

"So are you guys are going to play twister?" Brittany asked with a smirk. Her and Santana made eye contact and burst into fits of laughter.

"I don't know what sick thing you guys are talking about but I'm sure you aren't referring to the children's game so I'm just going to say no." Quinn said with confusion.

"Okay well have fun with Rachel" Brittany said as Quinn walked away.

"Do everything we'd do!" Santana shouted after her. They turned to each other and high fived.

"They're so getting their sweet lady kisses on." Brittany said.


After saying her goodbyes, they climbed into Santana's car and began the drive home. After a few minutes of comfortable silence, Brittany spoke up.

"Hey San! It's officially summer! No more school!" She cheered. Santana laughed and cheered too.

"You know B, this has been the best year of my life. I would have never imagined the things that have happened this year. I won a national title in the Cheerios, joined glee club, befriended Rachel Berry and most importantly got a girlfriend. Not just any kind of girlfriend though, one that is smokin' hot!" She teased. They both giggled.

"I love you B, so much."

"I love you too."


Next time: Summer fun!
