The next day Santana was waiting patiently by Rachel's locker when Brittany walked up.
"Hey San… I guess you were serious about quitting," Brittany said. Santana looked and smiled.
"Yeah, I did. Cheerleading just wasn't really for me…. Britt can I be honest with you?" Santana asked looking at Brittany. If she was going to come out to everyone, might as well start with her best and closest friend.
"Yeah anything," Brittany said cocking her head.
"I… um… wow this is harder than I imagined… but I'm… I'm gay," Santana said and looked at Brittany waiting for a reaction. Brittany's face went from curious too bright in a second; a wide grin spread her face.
"I knew it! I knew you were a unicorn!" Brittany exclaimed a few students looked at them confused before moving on.
"You already knew?" Santana asked flabbergasted.
"Not exactly, I had a guess. Whenever Rachel wore short skirts and you leered at her ass," Brittany said. Santana blushed and looked around.
"Okay, Britt, no need to announce that in the hallway," Santana said quickly.
"Oh so is that why you're quitting the Cheerios?" they both heard. They turned to see a pissed Quinn.
"No, I really do love dancing and singing Quinn, it's not just because of Rachel," Santana said. Two people down… woo.
"You do know it's a sin to be with another girl right?" Quinn questioned. Santana rolled her eyes and chuckled humorlessly.
"So is having sex with someone before marriage Quinn," Santana snapped back. Quinn's eyes widened and stepped back.
"How… how did you know?" Quinn questioned.
"I know everything about everyone Quinn and you think I wouldn't figure out my now ex-boyfriend would sleep with my best friend?" Santana asked shaking her head.
"I… it wasn't with Puck," Quinn muttered.
"Oh please, when he ignores me when I sext him, he's fucking someone else," Santana replied shaking her head.
"Why would you think it was me?" Quinn questioned.
"Because he's wanted to get in your pants from the beginning, that's why he dated me. And I know you've found him attractive for a while," Santana answered.
"I love Finn," Quinn argued.
"Obviously not enough to not cheat on him Quinn, besides you're better off with finding someone else who isn't such a douche," Santana said, she looked behind Quinn and saw Rachel. Santana's face brightened.
"Hey Santana… um Quinn, Brittany," Rachel greeted once she got to them.
"Did you know Man Hands, that Santana has a crush on you?" Quinn asked with a smirk.
"I'm very well aware of that Quinn," Rachel replied rolling her eyes. She turned to her locker and started opening it.
"You actually told her?" Quinn gasped.
"Of course I did, I'm not going to hide my feelings," Santana said to her with a glare.
"Yo, Lopez!" Santana heard. She turned and was hit with ice cold slushy.
Well fuck me.
Santana thought while she wiped the slushy away from her eyes. She winced at the sting in her eyes.
"Oh my god San," Brittany gasped. Rachel closed her locker and grabbed Santana's hand pulling her to the nearest bathroom. Brittany was about to follow when Quinn grabbed her hand.
"Don't go with them Britt, your rep will be ruined along with Santana's," Quinn said. Brittany yanked her hand away and shook her head.
"If rep means I don't get to be with my best friend then I don't want it Quinn," Brittany said and ran after the two brunettes. Quinn stood there with her mouth agape and shook her head angrily before walking away.
"That fucking hurt," Santana muttered when they entered the bathroom. They saw a few freshmen in there looking at them in shock.
"If you'd please leave," Rachel said kindly, but they didn't budge.
"Leave," Santana said sternly, a couple of them grabbed their things and left but the freshmen Cheerios stayed put.
"Leave, or extra laps," Brittany spoke up. The Cheerios grabbed their stuff and grumbled on their way out.
"Come on Santana," Rachel said softly and led her to the sink. She turned it on and found a good temperature before leaning Santana back. Santana was grateful for her flexibility, cause if she didn't have it, then bend backwards would have been much more difficult. Rachel gently washed the syrup out of her face then she allowed for Santana to stand straight up. Rachel retrieved some paper towels and started cleaning Santana's face.
"I can do that myself," Santana mumbled.
"Well, I want to do it," Rachel replied with a slight smile. Brittany watched them interact and couldn't help but fangirl over them.
"You guys are just way to cute," Brittany squealed.
"I… we… thanks," Rachel stumbled. Brittany nodded and walked out of the bathroom to keep anyone from going in. Rachel finished and threw the towels away. "All clean," she said. Santana opened her eyes and smiled at Rachel before running her hand through her wet hair and shaking it lightly. Rachel bit her lip and walked towards Santana. Santana looked at her curiously before her eyes widened in surprise of Rachel kissing her. Santana quickly reciprocated and kissed back. She turned them around slowly and pressed Rachel into the sinks. Santana took a chance and swiped her tongue across Rachel's lower lip. Rachel gasped and her eyes opened before she let them flutter shut again and open her mouth. Rachel whimpered slightly at the feel of Santana's tongue on hers and the electricity running through her body. Santana pulled back and looked deeply into Rachel's eyes.
"What was that for?" Santana asked breathlessly.
"Well, if I want to figure out if I like you or not, kissing seems like one of those eye openers to feelings I guess. Plus I really, really like kissing you in general," Rachel explained. Santana chuckled and pulled away shaking her head.
"Whatever helps I'll do," Santana said and winked at her before walking out. Rachel felt her heart skip a beat and a blush take over. She took a few deep breaths before following Santana out.
They went through the school day like normal… or mostly other than Santana carrying Rachel's books and walking to her to class. Santana was also able to eat what she liked without having to worry about cheerleading. Rachel and Santana walked into the choir room for Glee and saw Mercedes, Tina, Kurt and Artie all in there already.
"Well damn who would have thought Santana would be here for Glee," Mercedes said looking at the two.
"What can I say Wheezy I enjoy singing," Santana replied.
"I-is i-it t-true the y-you… you're g-gay?" Tina stuttered softly. Kurt looked at Santana with interest and she noticed.
"Yes, I am," Santana answered and sat in one of the chairs and Rachel followed suit. Kurt's eyes widened and looked away.
"Alright guys, first Glee practice of the year! I have the perfect song planned out, Rocking the Boat," Mr. Schue announced. Santana rolled her eyes.
"Wait... like 'rock the boat just rock the boat baby' that song?" Artie asked. Santana chuckled and Rachel stood.
"No Artie this a classical song, not some gibberish, let's get started," Rachel said. They did so and Santana just shook her head in annoyance. Mr. Schue is completely dumb.
"WE SUCK!" Rachel exclaimed after they finished.
"No Rachel it's just we need some more practice," MR. Schue said.
"No, we need a different song, something more modern, it's ridiculous that we're singing this song to Artie. I mean he's already sitting down," Santana said looking at her nails.
"No Santana, we just need practice," Mr. Schue argued.
"I actually agree with Satan on this one," Mercedes said, Artie raised his hand in praise.
"MR. Schue, this isn't a dictatorship, it's a democracy. We should do something more modern," Santana argued back.
"Santana I don't think-"
"That's the thing you don't. Yes Glee is about show tunes, but it's also a place for us to feel accepted and heard, but if you shoot down everything we suggest then you'll be no different than coach Sylvester," Santana said cutting him off.
"Fine then what do you suggest?" he asked. Santana smirked.
{Santana}
Beats so heavy, make my head get hazy
Big boots make the ground shake crazy
Body so hot, feel like they taze me
Kill the lights, watch the crowd get shady
Girls gettin' tricky, move round like elastic
Boys turned on, you can see all the static
{Santana and Mercedes}
Charge it up, make it automatic
Stop the press, hear the kick go manic
{Santana}
Santana moves to Rachel and grabs her hand and she locked eyes with her.
I feel you move closer to me
All the signals peaking
Crank up my electricity
Till I overload
Lovestruck!
My heart is overheating and it won't stop
I try to slow the beating but you're so hot
The tremors keeps repeating and I tell my self keep breathing
But I'm caught in your aftershock
Hit me like an earthquake
Feel like my Heaven and Earth shake
{All}
Lovestruck!
The tremors keeps repeating and I tell myself keep breathing
But I'm caught in your aftershock
Bass so thick you can see the soundwaves
Bubbly spilling like it's your birthday
Anthems blasting, now make the crowd sway
Put your hands up, shout "pon de replay"
I feel you move closer to me
All the signals peaking
Crank up my electricity
Till I overload
{Santana}
Lovestruck!
My heart is overheating and it won't stop
I try to slow the beating but you're so hot
The tremors keeps repeating and I tell my self keep breathing
But I'm caught in your aftershock
Hit me like an earthquake
Feel like my Heaven and Earth shake
Lovestruck!
{Mercedes
The tremors keeps repeating and I tell myself keep breathing
But I'm caught in your aftershock
Hey-ay-ay-e-yae
{Tina}
In your aftershock (In the aftershock)
Hey-ay-ay-ay-e-yae
{Santana and Rachel}
Your Lips conduct electric flow
Your kiss vibrates me head to toe
Your touch is glowing in the dark
Those neon send me ablaze
Ooh-ooh-ooh-woah-woah
{All}
Lovestruck!
My heart is overheating and it won't stop
I try to slow the beating but you're so hot
The tremors keeps repeating and I tell my self keep breathing
But I'm caught in your aftershock
Hit me like an earthquake
Feel like my Heaven and Earth shake
Lovestruck!
The tremors keeps repeating and I tell myself keep breathing
But I'm caught in your aftershock
Yeah
Woah ooh Woah
{Santana}
In the aftershock
They all were panting and looked to Mr. Schue for approval. He looked at him before smiling wide and shaking his head.
"Alright, alright you guys made you're point," he said.
"Yes!" they cheered.
"That was amazing Santana," Mercedes said.
"Yes I'd have to agree," Kurt piped in.
"I-I'd never had so m-much f-fun," Tina stuttered.
"Girl you know how to bring the party!" Artie exclaimed. Santana smiled at her friends.
"That was truly amazing Santana," Rachel said softly. The two girls made eye contact and smiled.
Today had been a good day.
