Sam felt like a brother and we shared everything… well almost everything. There were two things I didn't share with him. One was Santana and the second was that I had my first kiss when I was in sixth grade.

"Britt lets go were going to be late!" Sam called up to me. He was excited because it was our first dance and apparently his crush was going to be there. He has had a crush on some girl since the beginning of the year and he still hadn't told me who it was. I have tried everything to find out who it was, but he would tell me nothing.

"Just a minute!" I yell back checking myself out in the mirror and applying some lip gloss. I check myself out one more time making sure that I looked good. I have started to get a bigger chest this year which the guys have really started to notice in our grade. I decided to emphasize them tonight with a tight low V neck shirt with some skinny jeans. The best part of our dances is that they are not supper formal, so we can wear street clothes. I decided to straighten my hair tonight. I have to admit I was looking good especially since I applied a little bit of mascara which made my blue eyes pop.

I rush down the stairs and see that Sam is wearing blue jeans with his Vans Convers and a DC shirt. He was going for more of a skate boarder look this year, and I think it was working for him. His shaggy blond hair was just reaching his eyes, and I have noticed a lot more girls have taken notice to his new style.

"Geez make me wait here long enough. What were you doing?" I saw his eyes first land on my chest when he was talking to me and I rolled my eyes.

"Eyes up here Sammy."

His cheeks turned bright red as his eyes quickly found mine. "Sorry just not used to them yet."

"Yeah, yeah whatever." We take off walking out of my house and down the street. "So you gunna tell me who the girl is yet?"

"Nope not gunna jinx it." He says as we head out the door and walk towards the school. I live only a few blocks away so it won't take too long to get there.

"So your gunna make a move?"

He shoved his hands in his pocket. "I don't know maybe."

"Well if not you know there are other girls who have been checking you out lately."

He brightened up to that.

"Oh yeah like who?"

"Well there is Stacy and Page." We were rounding the corner to the school entrance.

"Yeah they are okay I guess, but my girl is way hotter."

"Oh she is your girl now?" I couldn't help but laugh as he was already claiming the mystery girl. "First you would have to make a move."

He ran a hand through his hair. "I know I do." He sighs out dropping his shoulders. We hand our money to the admissions and walk into the Gym where they are having the dance.

"I'm just nervous okay." He looks sad now and I feel bad for bring it up.

I do know how he feels though. I am too nervous to talk to my crush as well.

When we finally looked around the gym I noticed that there was no one dancing at all. It was like the room was split. The students were just standing over by the walls talking. My shoulders dropped. I was expecting this to be an awesome party where people were dancing and having a good time. The music that they were playing was even catchy and would be fun to dance to.

"This doesn't look fun." Sam muttered to me as we walked in. I looked around seeing that all of the grades were separated into their own groups. Eight grades were all the way in the back the seventh graders were on the left wall and our grade was on the right wall.

Just then the music changed to a slow song and it was like a miracle. People started to couple up and dance rocking back and forth with each other.

Sam turned to me. "May I have this first dance?" He held out his hand which I took happily.

"I hope it doesn't stay like this." I complained as we started to dance. "I thought we would finally have some fun in this school."

"Well I guess the great Brittany Peirce is going to have to do something about that right?" I know what he was talking about. I can dance. I know I am a good dancer and that is the only thing that I am confident in, but we are surrounded by people from school. I don't think I can just start dancing here by myself.

I shook my head looking down nervously.

"Oh come on Britt someone needs to do something." The slow song stopped and we separated onto the sixth grader side.

The beat of the music changed again to another catchy song. I looked around and it looked like people were dying to let loose and start dancing, but they were scared. That is also when I caught her eyes. I have had a crush on her ever since she saved me from the older boys when I was younger. She hasn't talked to me since, but I still remember her telling me that I was really pretty. I don't even think she knows I exist anymore, but I can't help but notice her every time she is near me. I could be in the hall changing my books for my next class and there she is beautiful tan skin and long brown hair. She was beautiful when she was younger, but now as an eighth grader she is drop dead gorgeous. By far the prettiest girl at our school, and every guy is after her. Currently she is single never dating anyone. I heard that it was because her parents are strict and won't let her date anyone. Personally I think she is too good for anyone here, and she probably knows it. Tonight she is wearing skinny black jeans that curve her perfectly and a tight red tank top.

"Hey Britt did you hear me?" I look over to Sam again realizing I was distracted by Santana's presents… like always.

"Uhh nope."

"Well I was saying people want to dance I can tell, so I am thinking you get your butt out there and start something. I will be right behind you doing my thing."

He does a funny body roll that I laugh at then nod my head. If I ever want to be noticed I will have to try something even if it is scary.

"You'll be right behind me right?"

"You bet." He hold out his hand and I slap it taking a deep breath. I can do this. I feel the beat run though my body and just like that I let go.

I know people are watching me but it is like they aren't even there anymore. My only focus is on the music. I lose myself to the music as I twirl and sway. When the beat switches over to another song, and I look around me to see a couple more people have stepped out and started to dance throwing me small smiles. To his word I see Sam dancing a few feet away, and yes he is doing his weird body roll.

"That was awesome!" He gives me a high five as I sway my hips keeping with the beat. After a couple songs even more people have joined, but I need a break. I yell to Sam over the music that I was going to the bathroom.

I make my way to the bathroom and splash some water in my face to cool myself down; not realizing anyone else was even in the bathroom.

"This would seem awfully familiar if you had some dirt on your face."

Startled I look up quickly my heart beat quickens. There she is the most beautiful girl I have ever met and she is looking right at me. Santana is leaning casually up against the door arms crossed over her chest.

"You looked really good out there Brittany. Who was the guy you were slow dancing with, your boyfriend?"

I shake my head quickly, because Sam is definitely not my boyfriend. I don't miss the way that her smile grows. I looked around just to make sure she was actually talking to me. That would be so embarrassing. "Y-You know my name?" I say in surprise. I am surprised she noticed me at all.

She gave a little shrug of her shoulders. "How could I not forget the kid with pretty blue eyes who was getting picked on by a couple of bullies?"

"You remember that?"

"Of course I do. I told you before if you were my age we would have been really good friends because you are pretty." My heart skips a beat because she said you are, not you were. "I thought you were pretty back then. When I first saw you walking the halls this year I was blown away." She steps closer to me and touches my cheek with her hand and rubs her thumb along it. "You are so beautiful now it has been so hard staying away from you. I can't wait to see what you look like when you get into high school." she pulls my face closer to hers and before I know it our lips are colliding. I let out a sigh because the girl of my dreams is kissing me and she called me beautiful.

My heart is pounding so fast I feel like I am having a heart attack. Her lips are so soft as they press against mine and her hand is placed gently on my neck with her fingers running through my hair.

Santana breaks away first. Her eyes have gone huge like she didn't even realize what it was that has just happened either. I touch my lips with my fingers still feeling the tingle from our kiss.

"I-I um I have to go. It was nice seeing you again." she quickly turned out the door without looking back. It wasn't even until the door shut that I could say her name.

The first thing that went through my head was 'Does Santana like girls?' Like I had said before I have never seen her with a guy or dating one, but I also don't think I have ever heard about her kissing other girls either.

The next thing that went through my head was 'Holy shit I Santana Lopez just kissed me!'

I was still in a daze when I got back to the dance floor. I saw Sam dancing with a girl who was a year older than us.

I look around trying to find Santana. When I spot her I wanted to cry. She was pressed up against a guy in her grade. He has his hands on her hips and I can tell by the smile that she is flirting with him. Then she leans up on her toes and was kissing him. Tears welled up in my eyes and I had to get out of there. I ran all the way home locking myself in my room crying myself to sleep.

My first kiss was also the day where my heart first was crushed and smashed into tinny pieces.
