Looking For San
Chapter 11
'' Ready San?'' The stunning blonde said to Santana as both sat in the blondes car waiting in the student parking lot.
Santana sighed. '' You know Britt, we could always go back to my place and wait to go back to school on Monday.'' Santana suggested, feeling nervous. Although she would never tell anyone that, well maybe Brittany but no one else.
'' San, I drove all the way here which took me a very long time and now you want to go back. I don't think so, plus I have to pass in all my work so I can get one hundred percents in all my classes.'' The blonde said as she shut the car off and stashed the keys in her red backpack.
'' Well it wouldn't have taken so long if you drove faster, you know the speed limit is 55, not 10.'' Santana laughed. '' Plus you just had to stop for those ducks crossing.'' The Latina added.
'' S, what was I suppose to do, run over them?'' Brittany asked.
'' No B, but you could have turned around and taken the other way.'' Santana said. '' I just think you wanted to watch the ducks go by.'' Santana added with a smile.
Brittany smiled back as she took the Latina's hand and held it. '' Fine San, your right. It's just that ducks are so cute and I haven't seen one in a very long time. After I brought that duck home my mama made me promise not to touch or look at a duck again.'' Brittany wondered off. Suddenly her face expression turned shocked. '' Please don't tell my mama I watched the ducks today, she'll get angry then she'll make me come back home.'' The blonde pleaded.
Santana lightly laughed. '' I wont tell Britt, as long as you don't bring any ducks into the house.''
'' I wont S.'' Brittany said. The car was silent as both girls herd the school bell ring and watched all the students hurry on in.
'' Your nervous San. I can tell.'' Brittany whispered as she stared into the Latina's eyes. Santana looked back, searching into the blondes eyes.
'' How can you tell?'' Santana asked.
'' I can tell because I've known you since I was 3 and you always get those little bags under your eyes that make you look even cuter. Plus your hands are usually really warm but today their very cold San.'' The blonde said, adding a squeeze to her girlfriends hand. '' Tell me S, why are you nervous?''
Santana hesitated before answering. She looked out her window and saw that everyone had already went into the school and was probably starting their learning for the day. '' I don't know what to expect, and that's the scariest thing.'' Santana confessed. '' Since the first day of preschool I ruled school, then I was in charge in elementary school, then middle school and now high school. Everyone feared me and parted ways to let me by. Hell I even got one girl to do my laundry.'' Santana said staring down into her lap. '' But I don't know if it's going to be like that anymore, I'm not what I use to be anymore Britt, and you made me change.'' Santana finished finally looking up from her lap and into Brittany's blue eyes.
'' I'm sorry San. I didn't mean for you to change I-'' Brittany was cut off by Santana.
'' No Britt, I changed for the good. Did you know I don't even feel like making Jacob give me his lunch money anymore, and he's been doing that since the sixth grade.'' Santana said.
'' Well isn't that a good thing?'' The blonde asked.
Santana shrugged. '' That's the thing Britt, I just don't know.'' The Latina said truthfully. Both girls sighed at the same time, which made them both smile.
'' Why don't we go in and see what happens.'' Brittany said. Santana nodded slightly. '' And remember this San, I'll be with you, right be your side.'' The blonde added, moving in fast for a quick kiss. The Latina kissed her girlfriend, not wanting to break apart but knowing they couldn't stay in this car all day.
'' I love you Britt.'' Santana whispered, inches from her favorite blonde.
'' I love you San, now let's go, were already late.'' Brittany said as she opened her door, grabbed her book bag and hurried over to Santana's side.
'' You know I could have done that myself.'' Santana said as she slowly got up and started to get her crutches from the back seat before Brittany stepped in front of her.
'' I'll do that San.'' Brittany said crawling into the back seat and getting the Latina's crutches. '' Here you go S.'' Brittany smiled as she handed her girlfriend her crutches and shut the door.
'' Okay, lets go before I change my mind about doing this.'' Santana said as she limped her way into the school.
All of a sudden the blonde started to laugh.
'' What's so funny B?'' Santana asked. The blonde didn't answer, only laughing even harder as they reached the door to the school. '' Come one Britt, tell me.'' Santana whispered as Brittany opened the school door for her and walked in.
'' It's just that I find it pretty funny that you called me slow in the car while you walk even slower.'' Brittany whispered as she continued to giggle. Santana shook her head and rolled her eyes as they approached the office.
'' Your getting it later.'' Santana whispered with a wink, this just made the blonde laugh even harder.
'' Santana!'' The Latina entered the office to see Puck sitting in a chair waiting for Principal Figgin's.
'' Puck!'' The Latina yelled back.
'' Brittany!'' The blonde added. This made Puck look at her confused. '' What? Everyone else was saying their name so why not say my name.'' The blonde smiled.
'' Your so cute.'' Santana said smiling at Brittany.
'' Wow.'' Puck gawked. '' So it's true, Santana Lopez turned into a lovey dovey whipped girlfriend.'' Puck added.
'' I am not whipped.'' Santana defended. Brittany snickered at what the Latina said which only made Puck grin.
'' Anyways, it's good to see you again San. The last time I saw you you were drugged up and told me to get my ass away from you so you didn't have to see my ugly hair anymore.'' Puck said smoothing is mohawk. '' By the way, that really hurt my feelings, I take my hair very seriously.'' Puck added with a smirk.
'' Yea sorry about that, it was the drugs talking, not me.'' Santana blushed.
'' You should have seen her after Puck she-''
'' Anyways!'' Santana interrupted , not wanting the blonde to finish her sentence. '' Britt and I are only here to get a late slip and then go to class, so.'' Santana said as she watched Brittany take two late slips from the absent secretary's desk and walk back to Santana.
'' Bye Puckerman.'' Santana said leading the way out of the office, while Brittany followed.
'' Bye Puck, we'll talk later.'' Brittany waved. Puck laughed.
'' Ready?'' The blonde asked.
Santana nodded. '' Yeah, this is the perfect way to start school off again, Spanish is my best subject, and soon to be yours.'' Santana said as both girls waited outside of their Spanish room, waiting for the teacher to respond to Brittany's knock.
'' You know S, I wish you weren't on crutches. Now I can't hold your hand and walk.'' Brittany admitted.
'' I wish I wasn't either Britt, but their only making me better so when I don't need to use them anymore my leg will be better, and then I'll be able to walk and hold your hand.'' Santana finished just in time as she watched the door open.
'' Well if it isn't Santana and Brittany, welcome back.'' Mr Shuester said, hugging both girls before they walked in the classroom.
As expected the room was silent as the blonde and Latina walked in and took their usual seats in the back. It took a couple minutes for Mr Shuester to accept the girls late slips and record it in the computer before he could continue class.
'' So what's the Spanish word for love?'' Mr Shuester asked the class. Santana knew what the answer was, she always did but never answered the questions if it wasn't on a test. So the Latina took a piece of paper and pen out of her bag and began to write a note to the blonde.
OMG this is killing me! Santana wrote as she showed the blonde. Brittany took some time to read it before answering.
What does OMG mean? Brittany showed the note to the blonde. Santana didn't feel the need to write this one on the paper. '' It means oh my god Britt.'' Santana said. The blonde nodded and continued to write.
What's killing you San? The blonde wrote.
Everyone's staring! And their not even trying to hide it like before! Santana scribbled. The blonde didn't feel the need to write anymore, so instead she grabbed a hold of Santana's hand and held it under the desk.
'' Remember San, I'm here for you.'' Brittany whispered.
'' What was that Brittany, did you say the answer?'' Mr Shuester asked, knowing that the two girls were not discussing what he was teaching.
'' I-uh.'' Brittany began.
'' What's the Spanish word for forever?'' Mr Shuester asked.
'' Um...'' Brittany said not knowing the answer.
'' Para siempre.'' Santana whispered.
'' What?'' Brittany quickly whispered back.
'' It's the answer Britt, para siempre.'' The Latina whispered to the blonde.
'' Um it's para siempre.'' Brittany answered, unsure of her answer.
'' Oh well yes, that's correct.'' Mr Shue said surprised Brittany got an answer correct.
'' Yes! I'm definitely gonna pass high school now!'' Brittany squealed clapping her hands. Everyone in the room smiled, realizing for the first time how they missed having Brittany in school.
'' So everyone make sure you do that homework for tonight, and I'll see you all Monday.'' Mr Shue said as he ended class.
'' Santana, Brittany can you guys stay behind?'' The teacher asked. Both girls nodded as they stayed seated in their chairs and watched their classmates walk out for next class.
'' Well I'm happy to see you guys back.'' Mr Shue said with a smile as he grabbed a chair and placed it by Santana and Brittany.
'' Were happy to be back!'' Brittany beamed.
'' Yeah Mr Shue, we missed you.'' Santana added.
'' So since we have glee class next period I thought I'd walk and talk with you guys on the way there.'' Mr Shuester asked.
'' Alright Mr S.'' Santana said.
'' I think we would both love that.'' Brittany smiled. So as the three slowly made their way to the choir room Mr Shue got them caught up in about everything.
'' So as you both probably already know regionals is this Sunday, but you two don't have to go.'' Mr Shue began.
'' Are you kidding me, were going! San just might not be able to dance or move.'' Brittany said with a laugh. Santana rolled her eyes.
'' That's alright, I was thinking about giving her a solo so she would have to dance.''
'' I'd like that Mr Shue, thanks.'' Santana smiled.
'' Um also, if I remember correctly you two have work to pass in to me.''
'' Oh, I do Mr S.'' Brittany said proudly, as she slipped the bag off her shoulders and dug out the papers. She finally found the mess of papers and handed them to Mr Shuester. '' Here you go, all 57 pages are there and I did every single question.'' Brittany beamed.
'' Wow Brittany that's impressive. This could bring your mark up a lot.'' Mr Shue smiled.
'' Even to a one hundred?'' The blonde asked.
'' Well, maybe not that high, but it could bring you up to a passing mark.'' Mr Shue said, then looking at the Latina for her work.
'' Uh, can I talk to you later about that, alone.'' Santana whispered. Mr Shue nodded as they finally reached the choir room that usual only took three minutes to walk to but today took ten.
'' Santana!'' The whole glee club yelled as the three entered the room. The Latina smiled but then cleared her throat as she noticed no one mentioned the blonde.
'' Brittany!'' Quinn started, as Tina, Mike, Artie, Finn, Mercedes, Sam, Kurt, Rachel and Puck chimed in. This made Brittany smile, which made Santana smile.
'' Wow, nice cast.'' Artie said.
'' It's not a cast Artie, it's a brace.'' Santana corrected, noticing that she called Artie by his actual name.
'' Oh, well brace then.'' Artie resaid.
'' I wanted San to get a bright pink one, but they wouldn't give her one.'' Brittany frowned.
'' Britt I thought we already talked about this. They didn't have different colors.'' Santana said.
The blonde pouted. '' Your so cute when you pout.'' Santana said kissing the blonde on the cheek with a huge smile. Everyone in the choir room went silent.
'' What?'' Brittany asked. '' Are you guys surprised that they wouldn't give San a color brace too?'' The blonde added.
'' No, it's just that.'' Kurt began.
'' I don't think we have ever seen Santana so..'' Finn wondered off, not knowing how to finish his answer.
'' So in love?'' Santana asked, raising her eyebrow.
'' Yea.'' Finn and Kurt said in sync.
'' Well that's because I haven't been in so much love since now.'' Santana smiled. Brittany blushed, hiding her face in Santana's smaller shoulder. '' That's right, this one right here.'' Santana began nodding to Brittany's direction. '' Is off limits, so no one touch her.'' Santana said, her eyes darting to Artie who just looked away.
'' Wow.'' Tina said. '' You were right Quinn.'' Everyone looked over at Tina who was looking at Quinn. '' Santana did change, but definitely for the better.'' Tina finished.
'' Yeah I could definitely get use to this Santana.'' Mercedes said. '' She's less.'' Mercedes stopped, looking for the right words.
'' Bitchy.'' Puck said. Everyone in the room nodded even Mr Shue.
'' Wow guys, I love you all too.'' Santana smiled, knowing that she could get use to this side of herself as well.
Since it was a Friday that meant both girls had glee practice twice that day, once during school and after school.
'' Well I say were ready for regionals!'' Mr Shue yelled as his glee club finished singing their song for the day. '' And I believe we'll win it!'' The teacher added with a huge smile.
'' That was amazing Santana.'' Sam said, commenting the Latina about her solo.
'' Yea I don't think we have ever herd you sing like that before.'' Mercedes added.
'' Well thanks guys, I owe it all to Britt, she's one hell of a girl.'' Santana laughed. Brittany blushed as she made her way over to the Latina who was standing in the middle of the stage with a microphone.
'' That was amazing San.'' The blonde whispered in Santana's ear.
'' Well I guess that's class.'' Rachel sighed as she looked over to Brittany and Santana who were staring in each others eyes. '' Oh and that reminds, Brittany you still have an outfit of mine that was kinda my favorite.'' Rachel added as she stepped off the stage and made her way out of the auditorium.
'' Oh yeah Rach, I'll bring it to regionals this Sunday, sorry I forgot.'' Brittany calmly said as she kept staring into Santana's eyes.
'' I think there in too much love.'' Finn said as he followed Rachel out of the auditorium.
As everyone began to leave the big room Mr Shue cleared his throat to get Santana's attention. The first time it didn't work but once he cleared his throat the second time Santana broke eye contact with the blonde.
'' Oh um Britt, why don't you go get your stuff out of my locker and wait for me there, I have to talk to Mr S.'' The Latina said with a smile that went up to her eyes.
'' Okay San, anything for you.'' The happy blonde said as she walked out of the auditorium and left Santana with Mr Shue.
'' So about that work Santana?'' Mr Shue began.
'' I don't have them Mr Shue but I have an good excuse.'' Santana began.
'' Santana being in the hospital is not a good excuse, you still could have gotten them done, look at Brittany she got hers done. Which she never has done before.'' Mr Shuester said, only then realizing what was going on. '' You helped her didn't you?'' The teacher asked.
Santana nodded. '' I didn't want her to fail so I helped her with her work and tutored her so she could finish them.'' Santana said. '' All my attention was focused on her and getting her work done, so I guess in a way I did do my work, I just didn't write it down, Brittany did.'' The Latina finished.
Mr Shue nodded in understanding everything. '' Okay I'll count what Brittany wrote down on her papers for both of you, hopefully the work is not like her other assignments.'' Mr Shue said with a gentle laugh.
Santana smiled. '' Trust me Mr Shue there not, we worked on them for what felt like forever.'' Santana said as she slowly made her way down the stage steps and out of the auditorium. '' Oh and thanks Mr Shue. For being so understandable about all this.'' Santana said to her favorite teacher before walking out the large room.
Santana was about to round the last corner to her locker when she started to hear voices. At first they were faint, but they eventually grew louder and louder till Santana could hear the conversation. The Latina was positive it was a girl and a guy arguing. She was sure the girl was Brittany but unsure who the guys voice was coming from. The Latina stayed behind the corner, listening to the conversation.
'' Come on Karofsky, move.'' The blonde sounded like she was whining. '' I just want to get to San's locker.'' Brittany added.
'' Oh that's right, I herd you two were dating, I just didn't believe it.'' The bully said as he blocked Brittany from getting to Santana's locker.
'' W-well you should believe it, because we are, now move!'' Brittany said beginning to shout. Santana was now peaking around the corner to see what was going on. Karofsky was standing in front of Santana's locker blocking the way so Brittany couldn't open it. Karofsky had to be what looked like a foot taller then the blonde and a hundred pounds heavier then her, if the two were getting into a fight Santana didn't want to see. The Latina knew what she had to do .
'' Why should I? You know I don't appreciate when people yell at me. It just makes me more upset.'' Karofsky said cracking his knuckles.
'' Karofsky! Don't you dare touch my girlfriend, if you do I swear to god I will beat you up with my crutches bad enough to make you go into the emergency again.'' Santana yelled as she came out from the corner and confronted the big bully.
'' That was a fluke Santana, and you know it. The only reason I got knocked out was because I fell and hit my head.'' Karofsky responded.
'' Yeah and the reason you fell was because me, a small Latina girl pushed you into a locker and made you fall to the ground. Now unless you want me to do that again, with adding a black eye to the mix I suggest you leave and never talk to Brittany again.'' Santana yelled, trying her fastest to walk over with her crutches.
'' Whatever.'' Karofsky mumbled as he began to walk away.
'' Wait!'' Brittany yelled making the bully stop and turn around. The Latina had no clue what the blonde was going to to, but when she saw it the Latina had never been as shocked before in her life. Brittany, the blonde who would never hurt a fly went straight up to the bigger bully and punched him straight in the jaw making him drop down in pain.
'' What the hell was that for!'' Karofsky yelled.
'' For being mean to my San!'' Brittany yelled and added a smirk to the bully as she proudly opened up her locker and got her bag out she had put in at lunch. Once she was done, she walked over beside Santana and rubbed her shoulder. The Latina was still staring at the blonde shocked. '' Lets go S, I don't want to see him anymore.'' Brittany said as she pulled her bag over her shoulder and began to walk. Santana followed her, as quickly as she could while looking back at Karofsky a couple of times and laughing.
'' What was that B? I don't think I ever seen you do something like that before!'' Santana blurted out as they reached the outside of the building, out of sight of Karofsky.
'' I was upset San. He desurved it, that's that.'' Brittany shrugged.
'' Yeah but I don't think you had to punch him.'' Santana said, stopping for a minute to think. '' Actually yeah, I'm glad you punched him.'' The Latina smiled stopping for a minute to catch her breathe. The blonde stopped beside Santana and stared straight into her eyes.
'' Like I told you before San, I'll always be right by your side, no matter what.'' Brittany said. Santana couldn't help but smile and lean in for a kiss. The blonde wrapped her arms around the Latina's neck and accepted the kiss.
'' Good bye girls.'' Mr Shue said, walking very fast past the two girls. Brittany and Santana broke apart and couldn't help but blush.
'' Bye Mr Shue.'' Brittany yelled back, catching her breathe.
'' Yea, bye Mr S.'' Santana said, not being able to take the smile away from the face.
Hey all, first of all thanks for reading and reviewing. I know I said I was going to put the girls graduation in this but this chapter was longer then I expected so I decided to put it in the next chapter.
