I wake the next morning feeling like my head is about to explode. I blink a couple of time trying to get my eyes to adjust to the light. I'm only remembering bits and pieces of last night. I know I was dancing with Brittany and for some strange reason Noah's face keeps popping up. One thing's for sure is that I was drinking and drinking a lot. I don't even remember coming home. Once I get my eyes to adjust to the light I realize I'm not home. I'm not in my room. Oh my god I where am I? I start to freak out. I'm looking around but nothing looks familiar and that's when I notice I'm not the only one in the bed.

"Oh my god" I say as I fall out of the bed with a thud. "Oww"

"Stop freaking out and go back to sleep. It's way too early and I'm not about to get up" That voice sounds familiar. I get up from the floor and look at the bed.

"Santana?" She groans as she turns around slowly and faces me. She lifts her head up supporting it with her right arm and gives me an annoyed look and that's when I suck in a breath of air. She's beautiful.

"Who else did you think it would be?"

"I...I don't know" I stutter looking down trying to regain my composer. No such luck because when I look back up at her I feel the butterflies in my stomach. What's going on with me? It's just Santana. It's just Santana with no makeup on and messy hair yet she's just...

"You wish" I hear her say shaking me out of my thoughts.

"What?"

"I know what you're thinking and nothing happen. We went to bed and that's it"

"That's not what I was thinking"

"Oh no? It was either that or you were admiring my morning beauty" She says with a smirk.

"I wasn't thinking or doing either of those things. I mean not that you aren't beautiful in the morning" I see her raise her eyebrow and I start blushing. "I mean...I wasn't...I didn't mean..."

"Relax. I was just messing with you" She says with a small laugh and I hide my face in my hands with embarrassment. "Come back to bed though because I'm not getting up yet" Santana turns back around and pulls the covers over her head. I look over at her clock and it reads 7:47am. I'm usually up by 8 so I hesitate a bit about going back to bed. "I don't bite Berry so lay the fuck down. Besides sleeping more will cure that hangover you probably have"

"Language" I sigh as I get back into the bed. I lay there just looking at the ceiling until I finally decided to close my eyes. The next thing I know I can hear the sound of a ringing phone. I open my eyes and notice I'm alone. I get out of the bed and look over at the clock 12:32pm. Did I really sleep that long? The phone continues to ring and I finally find it on Santana's desk.

"Hello?" I answer and it's my dad. "Hi dad. Yeah I'm fine. I know but...I did but...Santana? She umm...yeah I know. I will" The door opens and Santana walks. "No dad. WHAT? Really? For how long?" Santana gives me a confused look. "Okay I'll be right there. No she didn't. Okay I'm coming home. I will. Bye" I end the call and start looking through my phone. 3 messages.

Sara- "hey..."

Sara- "I'm really sorry about last night :("

Sara- "I want to apologize in person so I'm leaving and coming over. I love you. See you in a few"

"Is your dad mad?" Santana asks me and look up at her. "He didn't seem mad when I called last night"

"No he's not. He wants me to thank you for letting me stay but I need to get home. Sara is there" Santana rolls her eyes. "She got there ten minutes ago"

"Thought she wasn't coming down this weekend?"

"That's what I thought" I say with a shrug. "But she wants to apologize" I frown a bit. "Is it bad if I say I don't want to see her right now?"

"No. Want me to call and tell her to just go home?"

"No. She drove two hours to see me. It would be rude if I make her just drive back"

"You don't have a rude bone in your body do you Berry? What about a good old ass kicking? I can give her one of those if you want" I smile and shake my head no. "Are you sure? I don't have a problem doing it"

"I know you don't"

"Fine let's get you home then" On the way home Santana tells me everything I did at the party or at least what she saw and I can't help but feel really embarrassed.

"Do you remember anything after you falling face first into my car?"

"No" I say with a blush. I can't believe that happened. "I didn't say or do anything dumb did I?"

"No" I look over at Santana and she looks a little disappointed.

"Well at least I didn't vomit" I say. "I didn't vomit right?"

"No" Santana laughs. "You just snored all night"

"I do not snore" I say a little offended.

"Yeah you do but don't worry its super cute" She says with a smirk and I find myself blushing once again because of it. I wish she would stop doing that. As we pull up to my house I see Sara already walking towards the car.

"About time" Sara tells me as I get out of the car. "Where have you been?" She pulls me into a hug and I feel slightly annoyed.

"She's been with me" Sara breaks the hug and looks Santana dead in the eyes.

"And what have you two been doing?" Santana rolls her eyes.

"Knock your shit off and get over here we need to talk" Santana tells Sara in a stern voice.

"About?" Sara answers back.

"Stuff. Hey Rach do you mind giving us a sec?" I give them both a confused look. I'm not sure leaving them two alone together is a good idea.

"Umm...okay. Thanks for the ride and for last night" I give Santana a small smile. Nothing too crazy or I'll never hear the end of it from Sara.

"Not a problem"

"I'll be inside in a bit babe" Sara tells me. I nod my head and make my way inside. I quickly race to the window to watch the two of them. I really wish I knew what they're talking about because neither one of them looks happy right now. Sara has her arms across her chest and looks like she wants to punch Santana. While Santana keeps shaking her head and looks like she wants to slap Sara across the face. Finally I see Santana get into her car and drive away. I watch Sara make her way back to the house and that's my cue to move away from the window and open the door.

"Hey" Sara says softly as she comes inside.

"What did you guys talk about?"

"Nothing important" Sara tells me but I know she's clearly lying. Her right eye always twitches when she lies and it just twitched right now. I let it go though. I don't feel like fighting. Sara and I go to the living room real quick so I can say hi to my dads and then we head up stairs.

"I'm going to shower" Sara nods and takes a seat on my bed. When I walk back into the room after I finish showering she smiles at me but I don't smile back.

"I know you're mad and I'm sorry" I ignore her. I just climb into bed and lay my head down on her lap. Sara automatically starts playing with my hair.

"What are you watching?" I ask.

"It's called so your girlfriend acted like a jerk" I turn on my back so that I'm looking up at her. I can see she has tears in her eyes and I just sigh."I'm really sorry Rachel. I was a real jerk to you last night. I swear I wasn't ditching you just to party. I just know that's not your thing and I really wanted to go" I lift my hand and wipe away her tears.

"You could have just told me you wanted to go to a party"

"I know" She says sadly.

"Promise me you won't do that again"

"I promise" She leans down and kisses me sweetly. Once we break apart I turn back over on my side and she continues to play with my hair. "So..." I hear her begin to say a few minutes later. "You stayed over at Santana's?" I roll my eyes. I was waiting for this.

"Don't start"

"What I was just asking a question"

"And after the way you acted I shouldn't have to explain myself to you but since I know you won't let it go until I do nothing happened" Sara stays silent. "She invited me to a party. I drank too much and she was nice enough to let me stay at her house. That's all"

"You drank?"

"I was mad at you"

"I'm sorry" I hear her say sadly. "But she didn't try anything with you?"

"No she didn't and why would she? We're just friends"

"Yeah friends"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. If you say nothing happened I believe you"

"Did you and Kristi do anything? Other then swap spit all night?" I snap back at her.

"No. Never" Sara says this a little too fast for my liking and since I'm not facing her I can't tell if she's lying or not. A part of me wants to turn over and ask again but the other part just wants to forget about it.

"Okay and I believe you" We fall back into a comfortable silence until Sara's phone starts ringing. She pulls it out and answers it.

"Hello? With Rachel. Uh huh. No I didn't. She doesn't. I don't have too. No. Let it go it was a mistake. Fuck you" I turn back over so I'm looking up at Sara again. As mad as she is she smiles at me and taps my nose with her finger. I playfully swat her away. "I have to go. No. I'm not coming home tonight. Sunday night. No. Fine. Fine. OKAY" Sara ends her call and I watch her turn her phone off before putting it on my nightstand.

"Who was that?" I ask getting this ugly feeling inside of me.

"Kristi. She's being a bitch"

"Language"

"Well she is" I give Sara one more look and I know she's hiding something from me but I ignore it and turn back over. We continue to watch TV for the rest of the day and the rest of the weekend.

"Hey princess" I turn my head and see Noah walking towards me.

"Morning Noah. How may I help you?" He has this huge smile on his face which makes me a little nervous. No one smiles like that on a Monday morning.

"I need you to come with me" He puts his arm around my neck and I follow him down the hallway. I don't see anyone around that is until we turn the corner. There standing before me is a couple of football players and Cheerios. In fact I think I see Quinn, Brittany and Santana. Oh god please don't tell me I'm getting a massive slushie attack. "You were pretty crazy at my party" I hear Noah say.

"I...I didn't mean to be" I stutter a bit and they all laugh at me. Why are they laughing?

"No one willingly goes head to head with me in a game of quarters"

"Yeah you were pretty brave" A football player added. "I mean everyone loses against Puckerman but you...you just kept on picking him"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean too" I say and they all laugh again. I look over at Santana hoping she would help me in some way but she's smiling and laughing with them. My heart is racing at this point.

"We're not here to slushie you princess so relax" Noah tells me and I sigh in relief.

"You're not?" He shakes his head no. "Then why am I here?"

"You see...for being such a brave little princess and trying to outdo the Puckersaurus we all agreed that you're cool enough to become one of us"

"One of you? What's that mean?"

"It means" He says and turns around. When he faces me again he has a can in his hand. I look around and then realize everyone has cans in their hands too. "Welcome to the in crowd" Noah says right before I start getting sprayed by something wet and foamy. What is this stuff? When they all empty their cans I hear a bunch of "Laters, Bye, Have a good day"

"Welcome to the club loser" I take whatever this stuff is off my head and see its Quinn. "See you around" She says with a smile before walking away.

"Look who just joined the in crowd" Santana says.

"What is this?" I ask.

"Silly string but don't confuse it with spaghetti" Brittany tells me with a smile.

"I won't" Both Santana and Brittany help get all the silly string off of me. "So am I going to be silly stringed now instead of slushied?"

"Naw. They only do this once but consider yourself slushie free for the rest of high school unless you do something stupid then its right back to slushie central"

"I'm so happy your plan worked Sanny" Brittany says with a big smile as she hugs Santana.

"What plan?" I ask a bit confused.

"Britt I told you it was a secret"

"Sorry but it worked. Rachel won't get slushied anymore"

"What's going on?"

"I told you I've been trying to get them to stop so I just...I just thought that if you came to Puck's party they would change their minds about you and stop slushing you. It wasn't a for sure thing but hey I guess it work after all" Wow I don't even know what to say. If I wasn't in a relationship I'd kiss Santana right now to say thank you. Wait what? Did I really just think that? "Hello earth to Rachel" I shake out of my thoughts.

"What?"

"I said I'll see you at lunch" Santana says with a smile on her face.

"Lunch?"

"Well yeah now that you've officially become one of us you can sit with us"

"I...I can't ditch my friends"

"You're kidding right?" I shake my head no.

"I can't just ditch them" Santana rolls her eyes.

"Let's go Britt we have to get to class"

"Are you mad?"

"No I'm not mad" Santana says as she walks away with Brittany. She's mad. Great do I ditch my friends and make Santana happy or do I let Santana be mad and sit with the only people that haven't slushied me? Reluctantly when lunch came I told Kurt and the others I was going to sit with Santana and her friends. They all gave me confused faces but deep I know they understood.
