Chapter Four
Brittany didn't know how long she had been dancing for, nor did she care. She loved dancing because it allowed her to let loose a little without worrying about anything. She had been dancing for most of her life which is why she loved it so much. She knew that if she was going to have any career in the future it would have to be a dancer but she had other careers in mind too such as a police officer, for a reason she didn't want to share yet, or a detective, also for reasons she didn't want to share yet. She wasn't that good at schoolwork anyway but she did try her best. Plus since she had a passion for it she knew she wouldn't get bored of it. But before any of that happens she needed to graduate which was quite unlikely at the moment as she was so unfocused in lessons since she didn't understand what the teacher was on about. She didn't get why she even needed to learn stuff like History. It all happened in the past so why learn about it now? Pointless! But she had to admit, she did find it interesting.
The song on Brittany's iPod finished so she took her earphones out. After the morning she had, she needed to let off some steam. Brittany looked towards the door and saw Santana leaning against the door frame with her arms folded. She had a smile on her face which made Brittany smile back as she walked into the room. She couldn't help herself. Whilst Santana walked into the choir room she didn't seem as interested in her surroundings as she had been but she had probably been here a million times before.
"You can really move Britt. That dance was amazing!" Santana exclaimed grinning. Brittany couldn't help but blush at the complement. She never got compliments off anyone apart from Rachel so she wasn't used to it. She looked up at Santana.
"Thank you."
Brittany turned and wrapped her iPod up putting it back into her bag. Not like she needed it right now anyway and she didn't want anyone stealing it. She turned back around to Santana.
"You have a real talent Britt." Santana told Brittany sitting down on one of the seats near where Brittany was. "Do you want to be a dancer when you graduate?"
"It's one of the options yes." Brittany replied sitting down beside her. "But that's not for a while yet so I don't need to think about it right now."
Santana nodded and watched as Brittany looked around the room. She had been in this room many times so nothing was new to her or anything but Brittany obviously found it a new and exciting place. She smiled as she watched her. Brittany was a very beautiful girl but behind that she could tell she hid her pain and no one noticed. She knew Rachel would know but that's different since they are best friends. Brittany's dancing was something special and she couldn't keep her eyes off her as she did. It was so graceful and perfect just like her and the way she moved was just breathtaking. She had never seen anyone dance like that before. The only person she knew who loved dancing was Mike and she only knew that as she was in Glee Club with him. Maybe she could convince Brittany to join before one of the other gleeks asked her. She didn't want anyone scaring her.
"So you like dancing right?" Santana asked and she saw Brittany nod. "Well how would you like to join Glee Club? It's a club where we sing and dance. I think you'd love it."
Brittany looked at Santana interested. She did love dancing after all but she never danced in front of people. She didn't like anyone commenting on her dancing as she couldn't take criticism very well. It's why she danced alone so no one could comment on the dancing she was doing so she didn't get judged. Maybe Glee Club would be good for her.
"Can I think about it?"
Santana smiled at her. At least she was considering it which was the main thing. "Of course. You think about it then let me know, okay?"
Brittany smiled. It would be nice to dance somewhere other than her room after all. Her room was great but there wasn't a lot of space to dance. Well the living room was pretty big but her dancing was usually private so she didn't want to risk someone walking in. She turned to see Santana looking at her with a smile on her face. Brittany thought her smile was beautiful. She knew that if she could she would look at her smile all day but that wasn't possible without her looking like a weirdo or something. She stood up picking her bag up off the floor.
"I would love to." Santana replied walking towards her. "Let's go."
Brittany smiled following the brunette out of the choir room. This was definitely the best day so far.

Brittany walked into her house after finishing school. For a first day it had been pretty awesome. To say she had made at least one friend was better than no one. She walked into the kitchen grabbing an apple then walked upstairs to her bedroom. Her parents never bothered her in her room, saying that they never did bother to talk to her anymore. She didn't blame them though as they had given up trying since they couldn't get her to talk. They always did prefer her brother. His name was Zack and they were quite close for a brother and sister but unfortunately once he died Brittany grieved worse than anyone else and it resulted in her decision to stop talking altogether. But to add to that, his death wasn't exactly the nicest death so she had to refrain from thinking about it or else she'd get upset. Her parents had tried everything to get her to talk to them but nothing worked so they just gave up altogether. They didn't even bother to try and learn sign language when she did so they only communicated through written notes and they were only every once in a while. It was one thing that annoyed her about them. They had given up caring about her so now she had to fend for herself. Brittany sighed and decided to get on with the homework she got today to get her mind off it.
A few hours later Brittany heard a knock at the door. She wasn't expecting anyone so who would be visiting? She walked downstairs and opened the door to find Rachel stood there with dots and a big bag of Doritos in her hands. She always knew what to do after having a long and tiring day.
"I thought we could sit and watch The L Word whilst eating junk food." Rachel suggested smiling at her. "What do you think?"
Brittany nodded letting her best friend in. She loved nights with Rachel as they were always so much fun. She joined Rachel in the living room whilst she set up the DVD player. She sat down on the safa getting comfy then once Rachel had set it up, she joined her. She always had Rachel when her parents were away to keep her company. She hated being alone in the house in case she got robbed and then no one was there to help her so she always made sure Rachel stayed with her until she fell asleep. It might be childish but it could happen!
"So how was your first day?" Rachel asked opening the bag of Doritos. Hell yes, she even got her favourite flavour!
"It was good. Santana helped me around school today which was nice of her." Brittany explained whilst eating some Doritos in the process. "She even turned up when I was dancing after I left you guys at lunch."
"Yeah she does tend to turn up when you least expect her to," Rachel told her laughing, "but I can't believe she caught you dancing. You only ever do that in private."
"I know but I didn't notice her or else I would have stopped. She asked me to join Glee Club earlier too."
Rachel looked at her curiously. Brittany had been different since the incident that happened when they were young and even though she stopped talking, she never left her side. She wasn't going to let anyone pick on her for being different. It was what made her special and unique. Yes, Brittany is gay like her and she likes to watch Disney movies and likes unicorns and all things magical, but it's what she loved about her. She always looked so happy even when things were getting bad for her. She had seen Brittany cry before and it was literally heartbreaking. She always made sure to look after her since her parents never bothered with her. But as she watched her talk about Santana she saw a glint in her eyes she had never seen before. She actually looked happy and excited to have met someone new. Rachel knew Santana was one person Brittany might get close to. She had to warn Santana about that since she didn't want her getting into something she might want to get into.
"Did she really? What did you say?"
"I said I'd think about it. I mean I've never danced in front of anyone willingly but it could help me." Brittany explained to Rachel. She knew it could help her but it did scare her that she would be doing something completely different.
"I think it is up to you babe." Rachel told her truthfully. "I mean think about it. You can dance all you like in there and let people know of your talent or you could keep it to yourself. No one will be able to make that decision for you so it's all on you."
Brittany knew Rachel was right but what did she want to do? Glee Club sounded great but would she be comfortable enough to dance in front of everyone? She definitely knew she wouldn't have the confidence just yet, but maybe with some help she could gain it then join. Brittany thought back to Santana and how she felt when she was with her. Even though she had seen her dance she hadn't gone all shy and not spoken to her like she thought she would have done. No, she smiled and continued talking to her. Maybe Santana could help her.
"I think I need to just have a think about it first. Grow my confidence before joining any club."
Rachel nodded in agreement. It was the best plan after all. Brittany wasn't the most confident person around and after everything that happened at her previous school, you can understand where she is coming from.
"I totally get it Britt and you're right. Growing your confidence is important and getting to know the school is a start." Rachel told her smiling. "Now enough about Glee Club. Let's get watching The L Word. I missed doing these nights with you over Christmas."
Brittany smiled and nodded. She did miss her whilst she was away as she didn't really talk to her parents and Rachel was the only one she really talked to. Brittany now had an aim for the next few weeks. Grow some confidence to join Glee Club
