I hate that I broke down in front of Mr. Schue. I am supposed to be this tough girl who does not need anybody's help. I can't face him anymore; I know one thing for sure though; I cannot go to glee club today, maybe never again. As I go to walk out of the school at the end of the day, I try to go as fast as I can so that I do not run in to anyone from Glee. I know Brittany is not here today, she is in Chicago for the next two weeks visiting family, and I have only seen Quinn and Puck today.
"Santana!" I hear an all too familiar voice yelling from down behind me
"What do you want, hobbit?" I ask in a voice that sounded much more broken than rude. Rachel seems to catch this and has a look of concern on her face for a second, but drops it when she walks closer to me.
"We have a mandatory glee practice today. Sectionals are less than two weeks away and we need to win." Rachel says in a very strict voice.
"I'm not going, I'm thinking about quitting Glee." I say as quickly as I can so that I do not show the emotions that come along with even the thought of quitting a club that has become a huge part of me and leaving people that have been a better family than my own by a landslide. I walk as fast as I possibly can to get away from the girl I have begun to think of as a sister. Her shock at my statement allows me enough time to turn the corner into a much more crowded are of the school, making it hard for her to get to me. The crowds part when I walk through out of fear, so it makes it much easier for me to get around the school. I make it to my car before Rachel can question me anymore and I start to sob. Not knowing where else to go, I drive to the Lima Bean and sit at one of the tables to do my Calculus homework.
***Rachel's POV***
I see Santana walking through the halls of McKinley High, looking like she is going to leave. I try to catch up to her, but decide to just yell out to her to remind her of the mandatory glee rehearsal. When she answers, with her normal slightly insulting nickname for me, her voice seems to crack a little. She does not have the same confidence and, I'll admit, somewhat rude sounding tone to her voice as she does when she normally talks to me. But something about her face makes me not want to push her to tell me what is bothering her, so I decide to just stick to reminding her about Glee. The shock that enters my body when she informs me that she will be quitting glee club was so astounding that I could not even react at first. When I finally comprehend what she said, I try to follow her, but due to her popularity and the fact that she has a bitchiness about her that scares most people, she is able to glide through the halls with no problem, whereas I am basically blocked by almost everyone else. By the time I make it to the parking lot where I know she parks her car, I see her driving off in the opposite direction of her house. I have to go to glee club, and I will respect her privacy by not telling anyone about our conversation, but I will go to her house after to make sure she is okay.
