*Santana's POV*
After I told the Glee club what happened and finished singing that song I saw Brittany stand up with tears in her eyes and she just said my name and I walked away. Out of the choir room and straight into the bathroom. I looked at my reflection and saw the tears in my eyes. The bell rang and I knew I'd have to go to class and so as I walked out of the bathroom I saw the Glee members exiting the choir room, Quinn saw me first and just stared at me, slowly they all saw me, nobody said anything, but Brittany pushed through everyone with Artie following close behind her when he tried to reach her hand she pulled it away and folded her arms, she looked at me and then ran down the hallway to her next class. I looked back and saw Artie looking confused so I just walked to the History classroom, Miss Pillsbury was subbing because our normal teacher was in the hospital or something. As I took my seat at the back of the classroom I remembered that a certain blonde was in this classroom as well as Berry, Chang and Lady Hummel. They all stopped and looked at me while entering the classroom slowly, Brittany came in 10 minutes later with red puffy eyes. At that point I couldn't help it, but I didn't want to cry again so I got up and asked Miss Pillsbury if I could go and see Mr Schue, being the wimp of a teacher she is of course she agreed.
I walked down the empty hallways with my laptop in it's bag on my shoulder. Then I walked past that spot, that place where I'd told Brittany I loved her. I ran past that place and straight down the hall towards Mr Schue's Spanish class, I walked in and waited by the door way, Quinn, Finn, Puck and Mercedes were in this class, Quinn looked at me with a look that just made me want to cry, it was almost sympathetic and yet also kind of annoyed like she was mad at me for not confiding in her. Once Mr Schue spotted me at the door and he set the class off to work on some kind of practical speaking thing and then he came over to me and took me out the room.
"Hey Santana, what's wrong?" He asked me and I just started balling so he pulled me into a hug. He called Ms. Holliday who was another substitute teacher and asked her to take the rest of his class so he could talk to me. Once he got her sorted he took me to the Choir room and we sat down on the red chairs that I'd grown to find extremely comforting.
"Why did you have to do this Mr Schue? Your lesson about acceptance has just made it so much harder for me to accept who I am" I whispered
"Santana. You are so amazing and special and" He begins but I interrupt him
"No I'm not, I'm just a bitch. The entire Glee Club knows it, Lauren and Rachel said it best I'm just a bitch and the only job I'm going to get is working on a pole and lets face it Mr Schue she's right." I say with my head looking down
"no Santana! They're not right! You lash out because you hurt inside everyday. The way you deal with all these changes is by making snide remarks about the people you care about most. I know you may not admit it, but I know you love each and every member of that Glee Club and you care about them way more than you want too" Mr Schue says and he's right. God why does he have to be right?
"How do you know that Mr Schue?" I ask
"I know because you would've left Glee Club a long time ago if you didn't care for the people in the club" He laughed "They care for you to you know? Finn, Rachel, Tina, Mike, Artie, Puck, Lauren, Kurt, Quinn, Sam, Britt and so do I Santana. I've seen you grow up, you've been in this club for almost 2 years and you've changed so much, I've seen you form new friendships and relationships and I've seen them fall apart, but most of all I've seen you build your walls up so high that nobody can get past them unless they keep trying and the only person who's actually kept trying to break down your walls is Brittany. You and her have been so close since day 1, the way you act around her is completely different to the way you act with other people. You are the only person that I have never seen call Brittany stupid or anything along those lines" I break his speech
"Brittany isn't stupid mr Schue! She just sees the world in a different way" I snap at him
"That's what I mean. But Santana, I stand at the front of that classroom everyday and I see the way you look at each other when the other isn't looking. You look at Brittany with this fear in your eyes but also there is an insane sparkle in your eye. It was obvious from the minute we came back from Sectionals last year that you were in love with her and I think your heart knew it straight away, but your head just didn't. And as for Britt, she looks at you like you're the world, she has such admiration in her eyes that it's the equivalent of every other Glee Club members admiration for their idols and more including Rachel's. She loves you with everything she has, but just like you she has this fear, I think she's scared that if she dumped Artie and dove straight into a relationship with you that you wouldn't be able to cope as you're still coming to terms with who you are. I know that you and Brittany have something special, something that most people don't get until they're much older. You two are so ridiculously in love that everyone is envious." Mr Schue shocked me with his little speech, it brought tears to my eyes
"Everyone?" I questioned
"You two aren't as subtle as you think you are. I'm pretty sure Artie knows" He laughs and it makes me giggle
"Mr Schue, I think I made a terrible mistake" I whisper
"What have you done Santana?" He asked with a worried tone in his voice
"I blackmailed Karofsky into being my running mate for prom king and queen. He's gay as well Mr Schue and I don't know what to do, I called Dave this morning and got him to take me to the lima Bean and that's when i told him I'd out him to the whole school if he didn't run for Prom King and Queen with me. I feel awful about it" I had tears in my eyes and Mr Schue just told me to breath
"Hey, Mr Schue? Can I make my shirt for Glee Club now, or is this-Santana are you ok?" Mike asked as he ran across the room and brought me into a hug.
Mike and I have been good friends since Elementary school, we lived next door to each other and our families got close so we did as well.
"I'm fine Mike. What's this t shirt for?" I asked looking from him to Mr Schue
"Tomorrow we're doing a performance of Born this Way by Lady Gaga and our costumes are something that we don't like about ourselves written on a plain white t-shirt" Mr Schue said
"Ok, I'll make mine with you now then Mike" I smiled at him and he walked off to find the right sized t-shirts for us
"Santana? What are you putting on your t-shirt?" Mr Schue asked me
"I'm putting BITCH on it. Mr Schue I'm not ready to be out of the closet yet, I'm sorry. But thank you for your support and everything, I really appreciate everything you've done for me" I smile at him and give him a hug
"You're welcome Santana. Now go, have fun, make you shirt and I'll see you later" He said as he walked out the room.
"Come on San!" Mike yelled and I walked over to him.
20 minutes later Mike and I had made our t-shirt's his said CAN'T SING on it and mine said BITCH. Mike left the room saying he had to meet Tina, but I lingered around until he left. I swapped the word press size and flipped over my t-shirt, I need to win Britt and that's what I'm gonna do. I want my girl.
10 minutes passed and I'd got my t-shirt done perfectly. The front now said BITCH* and the back now said in small writing by my collar *but not towards the genius Brittany S. Pierce who I am crazy in love with.
Let's see what this does.
