Monday morning
Brittany sighs tiredly parking her car beside Puck's truck noticing her friends all gathered around waiting for her and slides out of the car, she shoulders her bag and grabs the tray of drinks before slamming the trunk close. ''Morning nerds.'' She grunts softly.
''Morning.'' Quinn grunts just as tiredly as she leans against Puck's truck. ''God it's too early.''
Brittany hums in agreement holding a cup of coffee out for her and hands Santana a tray.''For the girls.'' She tells her softly as she leans down to kiss her cheek wishing her a good morning, she grabs two of the biggest cups placing the other two on the roof of Puck's truck and holds them out for Puck and Sam. ''Thank you.''
Puck smiles grabbing his cup like it's his life elixir and leans down to kiss her cheek. ''No thank you needed B.''
''Yeah it was my pleasure B.'' Sam tells her grinning, Brittany just smiles grabbing the last two cups and holds one out for Mike smiling as she sees Tina cuddled into his side. ''I didn't know your order, I hope a cappuccino with chocolate is alright.''
''Perfect.'' Mike breaths out with a grin. ''Thank you Brittany, how much do I owe you?''
''We all pick up coffee once a week.'' Puck informs him before Brittany can.
Mike nods his head and smiles. ''Which day isn't covered yet?''
''Sam and C buy together, B and San do too.'' Tina tells him. ''Puck and Q both have a day so we can just buy it together.''
Brittany sighs tiredly running a hand down her face and sighs as Mike just nods his head agreeing that he will just buy coffee with Tina. ''Let's go in before the first bell rings.'' She smiles as Santana hooks her arms through hers and stops before they can enter through the main entrance Madison's warning entering her mind. ''Hold up.'' She calls out before Sam can open the door, she smirks as they all turn to her in confusion and nods her head to the side entrance. ''Let's take that one.''
She smiles as they all chuckle and leads Santana to the side entrance, she opens the door ushering their friends in and follows them chuckling darkly as she sees Finn standing right in front of the door holding a big cup of slushy another jock beside the door holding another one. ''That mother fucker.''
She drops Santana's hand thrusting her coffee in Mercedes's hand and walks over to them ignoring the hushed yells of her friends, she walks up to Finn making sure he can't see her and taps his shoulder with a smirk.
''Good morning Hudson.'' She utters her smirk growing as he turns on his heels his eyes widening in shock, she hits his hand before he can even move and steps back watching the red slushy soak his white shirt.
''Don't think so asshole.'' Santana whispers sliding up beside one of the jocks ready to throw his slushy at Brittany, she pushes against the cup jumping aside as it hits his neck and chest and walks over to Brittany smirking as she looks at her in surprise. ''Don't want to leave all fun to you Britt-Britt.''
Brittany just laughs noticing their friends all cover their mouths in amusement and takes her coffee from Mercedes. ''Let's go to class.'' She wraps her arm around Santana's shoulders leading her to her locker knowing she doesn't need books for her first class and leans against it waiting till she gathered the books she needs, she watches Mike, Sam and Puck all wait for the other girls and turns back to Santana winking as she slams her locker close to face her. ''Ready?''
''Isn't your class on the other side?'' Santana asks softly as they walk down the hallway, Brittany hums smiling as she cuddles into her side ignoring several students look at them in surprise and shrugs.
''Yeah it is.''
''You don't have to guard me the whole day Britt-Britt, I will be fine.'' Santana tells her softly, tapping the small of her back to silently tell her that she does appreciate it.
''I know and I am not guarding you.'' Brittany murmurs. ''I just don't trust any of the assholes and don't know what they have planned, so I rather see all of us partner up to go to class instead of all of us walking around alone and offer them an easy target.''
''But you will be going alone to class after you dropped me off.'' Santana mutters with a frown, Brittany shakes her head with a soft chuckle and nods her head to the duo walking a few feet in front of them.
''Nah Quinn's class is around here too, Puck and I have the same so we will walk together.'' She mutters softly. ''The don't know that Mike belongs to the group yet and C and Sam both have the same class.''
Santana nods her head as they stop in front of her class and leans up on her tiptoes to kiss her cheek. ''Alright.'' She murmurs softly. ''See you at lunch.''
Brittany just nods her head waiting till she walked into the classroom and turns on her heels meeting Puck halfway, she smiles as he immediately wraps an arm around her shoulders and takes a sip of her coffee. ''It's good that we are alone.''
''Oh no.'' Puck mutters trying to step away, she laughs grabbing the back of his shirt and looks at him with an eyebrow raised.
''What's going on between you and Q?''
Puck sighs running a hand over his Mohawk and shrugs. ''Hell if I knew.'' He tells her with a groan. ''We started hanging out a few times alone while shit went down in your life because she knew it hit me just as hard as it had hit you and we started talking.''
Brittany smiles sadly knowing just how much he suffered too and squeezes his side softly after wrapping an arm around his waist. ''Just talking?''
''No, yes.'' Puck groans taking a sip of his coffee and sighs. ''We had two moments where I thought we would kiss, but she pulled back before it could happen.''
Brittany sighs turning her head to lock eyes with him and bites her lip. ''She is careful.'' She tells him softly. ''Can't really blame her.''
''I know and I don't, but I think Q is the girl I would change for B.'' Puck confesses softly. ''I fell for her and I fell quick, it's scaring the fuck out of me.''
''Did you tell her that?'' Brittany asks softly as they walk into their classroom greeting their teacher, she sighs as Puck shakes his head dropping in his seat beside her and slaps his arm. ''Talk to her about that Noah, I am sure she will hear you out.'' She turns to look at him after dropping her bag and sighs. ''Hell I don't think you want to know how often I told San that the feelings she causes scares me.''
''It's different between me and Q though.'' Puck tells her with a frown. ''She knows me for years and knows what a fuck up I am.''
''I will come back to that comment during lunch.'' Brittany threatens as she punches his arm. ''You are not a fuck up.'' She tells him with a frown. ''Life sucked for the both of us but we managed to turn it around and she knows that.'' She berates him softly. ''Stop talking yourself down, grow a pair and fucking talk to her Noah.''
''Mr Puckerman, Ms Pierce care to tell the whole class what you are talking about?''
Brittany looks up as their teacher interrupts them and smirks. ''I don't think you would like our conversation Teach.''
''Yeah you definitely don't want to know who got lucky this weekend Mrs L.'' Puck tells her also smirking, Brittany takes a sip of her coffee trying to silence her chuckle the second she sees their teacher look at Puck in disgust and shrugs.
''Go on Teach, we will be silent.'' She turns to Puck as their teacher just scoffs and nudges his side. ''Our talk isn't over yet, my house after school we'll work on our homework together and I am sure Maze will love a bit of hanging out like old time.''
She turns back to their teacher as he nods his head silently agreeing and pulls out her phone placing it on her leg, she opens Santana's contact to send her a text and glances at Puck making sure he won't notice.
To Blushy: You up for joining me play matchmaker?
She smiles slightly as she immediately comes online and glances up making sure her teacher won't notice, she turns back to her phone as she sees her writing something on the black board and reads Santana's reply.
From Blushy: Playing matchmaker for who?
To Blushy: Noah and Q.
From Blushy: So I am not the only one who noticed Q cuddling into him while we were walking back to the park?
Brittany chuckles softly and types out her reply.
To Blushy: No I did too and being alone with Noah gave me the chance to talk to him about it, he will come over after school because he needs help growing a pair.
From Blushy: I'll see if Q wants to hang out after school, we have one class together I am sure Mrs Clarke will give us a load of homework again.
From Blushy: You think Q likes him too?
To Blushy: Yeah I think she does but she is careful which we can all understand, but Noah just confessed that Q would be the girl he would change for let's just see what happens.
From Blushy: Yeah we can brainstorm some more later, Mrs dyed blonde which somehow turned green is trying to be funny.
She breaths out a soft laugh and shakes her head.
To Blushy: Lol be nice, see you at lunch.
She locks her phone shoving it back in her pocket still acting like she is listening to the teacher and turns her head as she hears a soft snore, she laughs as she sees Puck with his head in his hand facing the blackboard with his eyes closed and nudges him. ''Dude I can't sleep either, wake the fuck up.''
She stands up laughing as he jerks awake right before the bell rings and pats his Mohawk. ''Come on, next boring hour to sit through.'' She grabs her bag and waits for him to gather his stuff before walking out of the classroom, she tightens her hold on her bag as she sees Finn and a few jocks walking towards them and slows down. ''Prepare yourself to duck.'' She tells Puck softly.
Puck just hums holding on to his own bag and glares at Finn as he stops in front of them with a shit eating grin. ''I see you managed to find a clean shirt, muscle shirts don't fit tall and chubby though.'' He sneers.
Brittany breaths out a laugh still eyeing the other jocks and pushes Puck into the open classroom as they pull three cups from behind their backs, she drops down in a split as they throw it Finn following suit with the cup he carried and easily pushes herself back up turning on her heels as she hears two loud screams.
She covers her mouth as she sees Sue Sylvester and her right hand Becky covered in slushy and turns to Puck in shock seeing him also looking at the scene with wide eyes.
''Frankenteen!'' Sue bellows wiping her face while glaring at him.
''Coach Sylvester!'' Finn sputters as the other jocks try to sprint away.
''Oh no, Becky follow them and bring their asses to my office now!'' Sue turns back after Becky sprinted off and sneers. ''You are coming with me now!''
Brittany slides aside as she storms towards them and raises her hands as she throws her a glare. ''Don't glare at me, I didn't throw that shit.''
''T-that w-was..''
''Stop stuttering Frankenteen.'' Sue sneers while grabbing his shirt pulling him along the hallway. ''Your ass is mine!''
She watches Sue pull Finn down the hallway still biting her lip to contain her laughter and turns to Puck. ''Well he just made sure hell froze, he slushied the devil in person.''
Puck burst out laughing his laughter bouncing off of the silenced wall all the students around just frozen in shock at what happened and wraps his arm around Brittany's shoulder to lead her to their next classroom. ''Damn B, I forgot how quick you think on your feet.''
Brittany just shrugs and chuckles. ''Asshole had it coming, that he managed to slushy Sue is just a huge plus.'' She glances up at him and smirks. ''I'm curious what the devil plans for him and the other three.''
''Well it won't be pretty that's for sure.'' Puck murmurs with a snicker as they walk into their next class, they both sit down at their table throwing their bags beside their chairs and turn to the blackboard as Mr Schue starts off his lesson.
Lunch time.
Holly walks over to the table the group is sitting at and places her hands on it beside Brittany making sure not to bother her while she drinks. ''Hey Sweetcheeks.''
Brittany looks up at her and smiles slightly. ''I didn't do anything.''
Holly laughs and pats her shoulder. ''I know but I heard your group is being targeted?''
''Were being targeted.'' Brittany corrects with a smirk while Puck tries to silence his bark of laughter with a bite of his sandwich, she locks eyes with Holly while the group shake their heads in amusement having heard of what happened because the duo texted them right after it happened and shrugs. ''Hudson and his so called friends managed to slushy Sue and Becky.''
''So that is why three of the jocks, Hudson, Sue and Becky aren't around.'' Holly breaths out in shock. ''Oh damn I hope she didn't kill him.''
Brittany shrugs her shoulders and chuckles. ''Wouldn't blame her if she did, he tried to slushy us.'' She mentions her hand between herself and Puck. ''In a crowded hallway, I managed to push Puck into a classroom and dodged the attack without knowing that Sue was right behind me.''
''If it gets worse tell me alright? I will talk to Figgins without mentioning any of your names.'' Holly mutters as she pats her back softly, Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly.
''I will but I think they won't try anything today, Sue will have her eyes on them.''
''Alright well enjoy lunch, see you in class after.''
Brittany just hums watching her walk away and turns back to the group. ''Damn I still need to get used to this.''
''That someone cares and wants to make sure you won't get suspended?'' Mercedes asks, Brittany nods her head and sighs.
''Yeah.''
''Hey guys, mind if I join you all?'' Mike asks walking up to them as the group just shoot Brittany a small smile understanding that it's hard to adjust to the new situation, Brittany looks up and smiles scooting over pulling Santana with her so there is a bit of place beside them.
''Nah you are welcome to join Mike.'' She turns her head as music suddenly fills the cafeteria and frowns as Becky walks in holding a radio above her head. ''The hell?''
''You will enjoy this.'' Mike tells the group as they all look at Becky in confusion, he just shakes his head as they turn to him frowning and laughs softly. ''Just watch and enjoy, I already set up my phone to record it.''
Brittany opens her mouth to question him but quickly shuts it as the door burst open and Sue walks in with Finn and the three jocks behind her wearing a cheerio outfit including the skirt, she covers her mouth as she burst out laughing and leans back against the table hearing their friends laughter raise above the laughter of everyone else surrounding them.
She bites her fist as they start dancing silently thanking god that Sue made them wear leggings underneath the skirt and shakes her head tears rolling down her face. She turns her head as she hears a body lean against her back cute giggles filling her ears and locks eyes with Santana seeing tears roll down her face while she tries to silence herself, she turns to Mike raising an eyebrow as she sees him just covering his mouth laughing silently and reaches out to tap his shoulder. ''What the hell did you do?'' She asks still laughing.
''Sue called me over during my free period requesting me to choreograph something.'' Mike explains as he wraps his arm around Tina. ''After she told me what happened and Finn exclaimed that the slushy was meant for you I made something up on the spot.'' He nods his head to the four in the middle and smirks. ''The best part will start now.''
Brittany turns back to the dancing foursome and covers her mouth laughing loudly as they all turn on the beat to start twerking, she turns her head hiding her face in Santana's shoulder feeling her whole body shake with laughter and holds her stomach.
''Holy fuck.'' Santana gasps out laughing. ''This is the best thing ever.''
''Boy has no rhythm at all.'' Mercedes exclaims laughing loudly. ''Sue needs to train her cheerios better.''
Brittany laughs turning her head as she hears two bangs after another and laughs loudly as she sees Puck and Sam practically rolling over the floor laughing their asses off while pointing at Finn and the jocks, Mike just smirks proudly as he notices his girlfriends best friends all crying with laughter and chuckles as Finn tries to end the dance while landing in a split immediately regretting it judging the look on his face.
''Let this be a lesson for all of you, if any of you slushy another student or accidentally any of the teachers this will happen to you too!'' Sue yells while looking around at everyone.
''Holy fuck Mike.'' Brittany breaths out still laughing as the four in the middle run out of the cafeteria in embarrassment. ''You just made my day.'' She tries to calm down still shaking her head and watches Puck and Sam trying to get up while still laughing their asses off, Mike just grins proudly and shrugs.
''They tried to slushy two of my friends, this is just payback taking a higher road.''
Puck leans over patting his shoulder still laughing and locks eyes with him. ''You are the best dude, you are welcome to join our table any time.''
''Not just the table.'' Brittany mutters while locking eyes with Noah, Puck just nods his head pulling out his phone and adds Mike into their group chat.
''You are officially a part of the cowboys and girls Mike.'' Mercedes tells him with a grin as she sees her best friends exchanging a knowing look before all of their phones chime.
Santana just waves her hand in front of her face still partly hiding against Brittany's shoulder and breaths deeply still chuckling. ''Fucking hell, my stomach is killing me.''
''I don't think I can eat or drink anything the next two hours.'' Tina tells her friends still laughing while cuddling into Mike's side. ''That was like a train wreck, you just can't look away.''
Brittany just laughs standing up as the first bell rings still hearing other students laughing and talking about the impromptu performance and gathers her trash, she takes Santana's too after grabbing both of their bags and turns to the group. ''Come on, don't want to be late to Holly's class.''
She throws away the trash wrapping an arm around Santana's shoulders as she walks up beside her and leads her out of the cafeteria still feeling her body shake with chuckles, she shoots Mike a grin as he tells them that he will meet them at the parking lot after school and walks into the class raising an eyebrow as she sees Holly already seated at her desk looking at them with a grin.
''Sit down kids, we need to talk before lesson starts.'' She smiles reasuringly as she notices all their smiles drop and sighs. ''It's nothing bad, but let's clear it before the others enter the room.''
''What is it?'' Brittany asks as she sits down pushing the chair beside her back for Santana.
''Well Figgins knows that you are living with me now which means that I have a lot to do with all of you after school, so I am not allowed to grade any of your tests.'' Holly informs them with a small smile. ''So we will have another teacher joining us as of tomorrow, she will grade all of your papers but that way it is still possible for all of you to attend to this class instead of taking Mr Schue's one.''
''Well as long as we can all still have this last hour with you, I am fine with it.'' Quinn mutters with a shrug.
Brittany nods her head in agreement and smiles. ''Yeah I agree with Q, we all just need this last hour of the day with almost the whole group together.''
Holly smiles as the others nod their heads in agreement too and walks around handing out an assignment. ''Well that's good, she will only grade and sit in this class but I will do the teaching. I already told you all that I won't favorite any of you, but Figgins wants to make sure it really doesn't happen.''
Brittany shrugs her shoulders taking her assignment from Holly and smiles slightly. ''If it makes him relax and stop annoying you, let that teacher just sit and listen in on this amazing class she might learn a few things.''
''She will surely learn something.'' Santana exclaims with a chuckle. ''If anything all teachers might have to take a look into Holly's class, they all talk us to sleep but Holly keeps us awake and wishing time doesn't pass so quickly.''
Holly just chuckles shooting them a wink as the other students walk in and hands them the assignment, she leans back against her desk looking around waiting for everyone to sit down and smirks. ''Alright now that everyone is here, let's start this hour with a nice subject to discuss.''
Brittany glances down at the paper in front of her and smirks as she reads the caption. Men VS women.
''Are men stronger than women?'' Holly asks crossing her arms in front of her chest, she chuckles as Puck immediately raises his hand and locks eyes with him. ''Puckerman.''
Puck lowers his hand smiling slightly as he notices his friends all turn to him curious to hear what he has to say and runs a hand over his Mohawk. ''Yes and no.'' He answers with a shrug. ''Sure men can train a lot and will physically be stronger because we all know that men won't stop and there is a silent competition between all that doesn't allow one to give up just because our body says no, but mentally the women is stronger.''
Holly slowly nods her head agreeing to what he is saying so far and smiles. ''True, want to elaborate some more?''
''Well mentally women will always be stronger than a men ever could be, in some point she will physically be stronger too because a man will die while pushing a watermelon out of their body.'' He smiles slightly as everyone snickers and shrugs. ''Mentally a woman can handle a lot without it looking like she breaks, she can go through so many shit and still make it look like nothing is happening. A man wouldn't have the strength to keep it all down, he would need to talk about it and probably find a group he feels safe with, a group he can trust and a group he knows he can fall back on or he falls back on substances that makes him feel less.'' He continues.
''The woman needs a while to build up the trust again, she will take a while and observe until she will let someone in and no matter how much shit went on in their lives, she will still stand tall and won't allow anything to break her.''
''Yeah a man will break earlier under pressure as a woman will.'' Sam agrees. ''A woman is mentally so much stronger as a man, we might have the muscles if we train for it but the woman have mental strength and that is something you don't have to train.''
Brittany gulps thickly knowing that they are talking about her without mentioning her name and looks down as she feels a hand on her leg, she grabs Santana's hand playing with her fingers and slowly looks up as she hears Holly clear her throat slightly nodding her head as they lock eyes.
''Well that was deep and beautiful guys, I think a lot of men could learn a lot from you.'' Holly compliments.
Puck just shrugs and smiles slightly. ''We have a huge group of friends and the most of them are women.'' He tells her chuckling. ''I think Sam and I have experienced a lot from them and I talk for the both of us when I say that they deserve nothing but respect.''
Sam nods his head in agreement wrapping his arm around Mercedes her shoulders and smiles brightly. ''Yeah Puck is right, every single girl in our group has a struggle like every single girl at this school has. But instead of hiding they fight and show strength Puck and I would have never had without their support, each of them are some kind of rock for us and we know we can all count on each other and that is what makes our friendship so special even if others think we are a bad influence.''
''We joke around and don't give a shit about other opinions because we all carry a load of crap with us, crap we won't talk about with others within hearing range but those we trust know what is going on.'' Puck continues with a slight smile. ''We have one great example in our group, someone who went through hell in her private life but still fought hard and managed to put up a facade for others. Someone who gives everything at school to get out of here while being the loving person we know in private, someone who paused her own life to care for others even if it stressed them out and just be the best person in general.''
''Everything is possible with the right support, this discussion can go on and on for days.'' Brittany starts shakily. ''But to bring it right to the point, there is no men vs women.'' She continues. ''We are all equal men and woman can both be strong physically with lots of training, sports and shit and mentally just the same, it all comes down to the people you let into your life people who show them support and people who catch them whenever it's needed.''
Santana nods her head in agreement and smiles slightly. ''Men and Woman are both strong physically and mentally, it all just depends on the people you allow in your life. It depends on your lifestyle, it depends on your focus in life some focus on popularity, some on family and some just on them.''
She looks around at her friends and smiles lovingly. ''It all comes down on the people you allow in your lives, if they boost you up or bring you down. If they have your back or drop you the second things get serious, life is never easy no matter what gender but your social circle is what makes it bearable you just need to know who is real and who is fake.''
''Amen.'' Quinn and Tina breath out in unison.
''Praise.'' Mercedes adds smiling as their friends chuckle.
Brittany smiles intertwining her hand with Santana's in her lap and grabs her pen as Holly tells them to write everything they just said down, she runs her thumb over the back of Santana's hand, Santana smiles leaning closer to her still writing everything down and leans her chin on her shoulder. ''You got any plans this Friday?'' She asked in a hushed whisper.
She smiles as Brittany shakes her head after glancing at her and places her mouth against her shoulder leaving a soft kiss there. ''Will you allow me to take you on our second date?''
''Mh yes I will.'' Brittany murmurs as she turns her head to look at her. ''Where to?''
''That is for me to know and for you to find out.'' Santana breaths out with a smirk as she pulls back, she turns back to her paper chuckling as Brittany just huffs and shoots her a wink. ''Patience Britt-Britt.''
