S: Uhhh…

B: I almost shitted myself when I found out that I passed my test! Zombie won't pass me by anymore!

S: Hahahaha…gud job (:

S: i still can't believe ur 1st txt to me was "I shitted myself" tho lol

B: Ooopsie

"You look like an idiot smiling like that" Rachel commented. "But I, for one, am very glad that your Sapphic crush is finally working out for you. If she doesn't realize that you want to have sexual relations with—"

"Hold up! What did you just say?" Brittany interrupts.

"That your crush is finally talking to you." Rachel paraphrases; after all she's use to people not understanding her point.

"No, no! The one after that!"

"That she…oh! That you want to have sexual relations with her?"

"That one! The crap Rachel, yesterday was our first time hanging out!"

"You mean your first time going on a date?"

Brittany blushes. She seems to be doing this a lot lately. "It's not a date, just friends spending time together."

"Sure." Sam sarcastically interjects.

"Brittany, you spent 6 hours together. You got to know each other, you ate dinner together, you held her hand, and you walked her home. If that's not a date then Lord Tubbington is definitely not overweight." Tina dismisses her denial.

"Tubbs is not overweight, he just have thick bones!"

"The point is, you want her, now it's time to find out if she wants you too." Rachel brings the topic back to full circle.

Brittany sighs, 3 against 1, not a fair fight. "I don't even know if she's into girls."

"Dude, the way you describe how she pays attention to you? She definitely digs chicks!" Sam points out.

"But I don't want her to bury or dig up chickens."

"You know what I meant," he pouts.

Brittany laughs. She knows her friends care about her, that's why they're doing this. "I do know what you meant Sammy. Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Group hug!" The three other people in living room laughs and they all jumped in for a big hug. "I love you guys!" Sam shouts.

"You're such a girl Sam!" Tina replies.

"Am not!"

"Yeah huh!"

"Nah-uh!"

Rachel and Brittany looks at each other, now these two are the ones that need some enlightenment and direction when it comes to romance. "Okay Ron and Hermione, let's stop the bickering."

"We are not Ron and Hermione!"

"That's right! Ron definitely looks much hotter than Sam!"

Rachel listens while Brittany checks her phone.

"So you do think I'm hot?"

"In your face Evans!"

S: Speaking of shitting, I walked n d boys' bathroom this a.m… DISGUSTING! Smells lyk old socks nd cologne combned w/ puke. Just…EWW. I will nvr go der agen!

B: Hahaha that does sound super disgusting!

S: Brittany, Santana couldn't stop talking bout how beautiful u r!

S: Ignore that. Puck stole my phone. He's such a jerk.

B: So you don't think I'm beautiful?

S: ofc u are!

B: lol thanks! I bet you're blushing right now!

S: Britt, I don't blush!

Brittany is 100% sure that Santana is blushing when she sent that text and she is also 100% sure that Santana just gave her a nickname! Also, if Puck says that Santana is talking about her then that means that Santana likes her (hopefully!). She couldn't wait to test her theory. Unfortunately, she has a paper that's due tomorrow and she plans on staying at the school's library all night to finish it. So her 'Find out if Santana likes me too' plan will have to be put on hold for now. "Kay guys, I have to leave." The three stops their arguing and bid her goodbyes. "I won't be home till after my classes tomorrow. I have to finish a paper tonight."

"What have I told you about procrastinating Brittany?"

"That I shouldn't procrastinate, I'll try to do better next time Rach." Brittany immediately heads towards the door, trying to get out of a long lecture.

"You've been saying that for the past three years." She hears Rachel say.

"Maybe because cramming really works?" Sam tries to help Brittany's case.

vvvvv

Unlike Santana's house, Brittany only has to cross the street in order to get to the bus stop. She knows the bus schedule by heart so she didn't have to wait long for the bus to arrive. As soon as she gets on, her eyes instinctively focuses on the back row. Brittany has to stop herself from missing Santana, it's not like they ride the same bus heading to school. She does however notice that booger boy is already on the bus. What is even more unbelievable is finding out that booger boy is holding hands with a girl! He's wearing such a huge grin on his face too!

You go booger boy! Brittany cheers in her mind while passing the two.

Brittany can definitely relate to all the happiness that teenager is feeling, after all, ever since Santana smiled back at her, she has been on the clouds with no sign on dropping any time soon.

vvvvv

After her classes, she goes straight to the library. She finds a comfortable place, pulls out her laptop and fleece blanket. She relaxes and starts researching for her paper. Her focus is interrupted an hour later with a text alert that is only assigned to Santana.

S: U werent at the bus 2day :(

B: I know. I have a paper due tomorrow so I'm pulling an all-nighter.

S: Dat sux! Gud luck!

B: Thanks :)

vvvvv

As time goes by, Brittany starts to feel the strain from sitting for too long. She stretches her legs and is surprised to find out that it's almost 10pm. She feels her stomach growl. She searches for her wallet but was disappointed to find out that she accidentally left it at home. Looks like she's going to have to starve for a while, Brittany is not very happy about her situation. She looks at her phone, about to call Rachel, maybe she can bring Brittany some food (that is if she's not with her new boy, Brody). She is surprised to find a text from Santana timed around 7:30pm.

S: Puck and I r having a bros nite. I don't know if I should luk forwrd 2 it or not.

B: lol I'm sure you guys will have fun. Sorry 'bout the late reply, I was too focus on my paper. A fourth done woohoo!

S: Yay! Nah, we jst wnt to laser tag nd got Chinese 2 go.

B: Aww, so lucky! I'm starving!

S: Go eat?

B: I can't. I left my wallet at home and I can't reach Rachel.

S: Hmm…do u mind burgers and fries?

B: Oh no no! Don't worry about me!

S: Too l8! Were on r way to mcdo, do u prefer a big mac,chickn strips, nuggets or fish fillet? How bout drinks?

B: Gaaaah. I'm sorry for the trouble!

S: Dont wori silly. We're not dat far from campus nd its no trouble promis! Now tell me ur order or else u'll end up eating 5 diff meals.

B: lol I'll take chicken strips and Dr. Pepper then :)

S: Kk!Be der in 'bout 20 mins.

Brittany's fatigue seems to leave out of her body after understanding how sweet Santana's actions are. Santana can come across as a stuck-up, know-it-all, bitch (Santana's words not hers) and it saddens Brittany that words from stupid people are how Santana describes herself. She is so much more. She is the kind of person who would do anything for her someone she cares about. She cleaned up Puck and Finn's restroom even though she complained about how gross it was in there. She spent time with Brittany because she wants her to cheer up. And now, Santana is going out of her way just to bring her dinner. People always see what they like to see, and with Santana, there is definitely something more than meets the eye.

vvvvv

Incoming Call: Santana

"Hi Britt! I'm outside, which floor are you in?"

"I'm at third, turn right after you get out of the elevator and go all the way at the back. I'm by the comfy couches."

"Okay, I'll be there soon…. Hold on Britt. No Puck you can't come with me…Uugh fine. Hello Britt? You still there?"

"Yep!"

"Do you mind if Puck comes? (Wanky Santana whispers after her words)"

"No I don't mind! I need to thank him for driving to get my food too."

"Britt I must warn you, he will try to hit on you."

"Hahaha, You'll keep him in place I'm sure."

"You gotz that right. We're on our way, be there in 5"

"Okay. See yah!"

vvvvv

"Raaaaawr!" A loud, deep, male voice startles Brittany from her thoughts. She turns around and she saw a good-looking guy with a weird Mohawk. Santana is standing beside him, carrying a bag of McDonalds and cup holder with her Dr. Pepper and 3 Mcflurries.

"I would punch your face if I'm not holding all these." Santana snaps at the person on her right. She then faces Brittany and hands over the food. "Here you go Britt."

"Thank you very much." Brittany smiles sheepishly, she's not sure how to act around Santana's friend yet. She places the food on her study table.

"So…You are the person that Santana wouldn't stop gushing about." A loud "SMACK" was heard all throughout the floor, coming from Santana's hand hitting Puck's shoulder, and then a painful groan.

"Owww! What the fuck Lopez!" Puck complains, rubbing his sore shoulder.

"What the fuck is wrong with you Noah!" Santana glares at him and Brittany notices how Puck (or Noah?) seems to soften. He turns to Brittany. "Sorry. I'm Noah Puckerman, Puck for short." He extends his hand, Brittany grips and shakes it with confidence.

"Brittany S. Pierce." She offers, then suddenly her stomach growls. Brittany blushes, Puck and Santana couldn't hold their laughter and they sound like dying pigs because they are not allowed to laugh really loud inside the library. "Don't laugh!" Although Brittany is giggling herself, she couldn't help but notice how beautiful Santana looks while wearing a UofL shirt and sweatpants.

"Sorry Britt." She apologizes, though amusement is still evident in her eyes. Puck clears his throat and gathers himself. "You better get started eating since you have a paper to finish." Brittany nods, taking the food out of the bag and starts munching on the fries.

"Anks fo e foo," Brittany speaks with her mouth full. When she notices the confusion amongst her company she grabs the Dr. Pepper and takes a big sip. "Thanks for the food! But San, I don't think I can eat all three Mcflurries."

"Hahaha, the other two are for us." Puck says, since her friend seems to be too distracted by the blonde's lips to reply. He nudges Santana.

"I…uh. Yea! We'll keep you company while you eat." Santana smiles while she and Puck took the seats closest to Brittany.

By the time her food is gone, Brittany finally understands that she doesn't have to be shy around Santana's friend. Puck is funny; he has his weird moments of flirting with Brittany which always end up with Santana glaring at Puck and him backing down. Brittany finds it funny that someone as big and buff as Puck still cowers under Santana's sharp glare. They talked about Brittany's paper and their opinion about her topic (which is Why Ships Are Sunk; The Relationship Between TV Writers and Fandoms). She learned about their high school days and how they were not only jocks and cheerleaders but are also part of the glee club (now she hopes, one day. to hear Santana sing). She shares about her being in the glee club too, and how she is the editor-in-chief of their school newspaper during her senior year. Their conversations are full jokes and laughter and Brittany is suddenly thankful that she left her wallet at home.

vvvvv

After an hour of talking, the two bid their goodbyes so that Brittany can concentrate on her paper.

"I'll head down stairs. Just come down when you're done!" Puck winks at Santana, giving her his "I-know-you-need-some-time-alone" face.

With Puck gone, the atmosphere seems to shift, although Brittany is still not sure why.

"I really appreciate you for bringing food San."

"You're welcome. Anything I can do to help." Santana gives her a shy smile and Brittany's heart starts to beat fast and butterflies awaken in the pit of her stomach. She doesn't want Santana to leave, but she knows that she has to prioritize her time. So she decided to settle for the next best thing… "Are you free tom?" She asks.

"I have cheerleading practice tomorrow and I promised Quinn that I'll help her with a project afterwards." Brittany notices the disappointment on Santana's features. She understands that Santana is busy but she couldn't help but feel sad.

"It's okay. Hmm, how about the next day?"

"I have an exam at one of my classes on Friday so I have to study for it after cheerleading practice." Santana starts frowning; they couldn't seem to get their schedule in sync.

"And I can't do Friday because I have an event to cover for the school newspaper." Brittany sadly adds. They both sigh in frustration, but when their eyes meet, all of it melts away and they start smiling at each other.

"Maybe Saturday?" Santana attempts one last time.

"Saturday works." Brittany's face lights up and her smile beams. The smile is infectious because a second later, Santana is also grinning. "So, wanna do something on Sat?" She continues. Santana nods in agreement.

"Yay! I can't wait!" Brittany actually bounces on the spot, ideas on what to do starts filling up her head. Santana thinks about how endearing Brittany is. She couldn't help but look at her with soft expressions and warm smiles. So when their eyes meet, they both blushed and murmured embarrassing excuses for their actions.

"Let's talk about where to go on another time, for now good luck on your paper!" Santana whisper-shouts as she officially says her "goodbye" and heads down stairs.

As Brittany watches Santana leave, she couldn't help but realize that there is an actual chance of her falling in love with this person. Santana's so sweet, so kind, so deserving of love, therefore, Brittany is not even going to try to stop herself from falling. After all, Brittany knows that Santana isn't really a "bitch," she's more of a cuddly- puppy with deep brown eyes and a big heart that occasionally likes to bite strangers.
