Brittany continued to come over every night for tutoring. But on Friday night, Santana gave her the night off, so Brittany and Mike made plans to go to Bread Stixs.
"How long has it been since we actually ate dinner together?" Mike asked after the waitress walked away.
"Probably a couple of months." Brittany said thinking. "I mean now, all I see you is when you give me rides to places."
"True. So I hear the new girl is tutoring you." Brittany raised her eyebrow. "Tina told me, the two of them have become friends."
"Does that mean she talks to Berry?"
"I think they sit together at lunch but they aren't really friends."
"Good." Brittany said, taking a sip of her drink.
"I still don't get what your problem with Rachel is."
"Do you really want to know?"
"Not really." Mike said and they both laughed. "I mean I care, but I don't feel like getting dragged into girl drama.
"That's what I thought."
"How's it going with Tina?"
"Great."
"Do you guys do anything but go to Dim Sum?"
"You know Dim Sum is one of the few public places where no one else in our school will be."
"True." Brittany said.
"Do I want to know about you and Finn?"
"I haven't talked to him since last time. Thank God you texted me when you did."
"If you don't like him, why are you still doing it?"
"I honestly have no idea." Brittany took a bite from one of the breadsticks.
"Do you think that you won't be able to get someone else? Because you could get anyone that you want."
"I just don't know. I mean… its all just getting so complicated."
"I know what you are doing." Mike said drinking some of his soda.
"What?"
"You like someone, but you are totally afraid that they don't like you back. And that's why you haven't cut things off with Finn."
Brittany began to stutter a little. "That is so not true." She looked away from Mike; she had never been good at lying to him. He knew her too well.
"Who is it?"
Brittany looked back at Mike. "The new girl, Santana."
Santana was spending it how she always did; in her room, reading a book. There was a knock at her door that broke her out of the trance that she had been in from reading. "Come in." She called and in came her older brother, Rico.
"Hey kid." He said sitting down on the foot of her bed.
"What do you want?" She asked somewhat annoyed, she just felt like reading her book right now.
"Do you want to go out and do something? I heard about this restaurant, Bread Stixs, its apparently pretty good."
"No." Santana said, and went back to her book, attempting to find her spot.
"Come on, it will be just me and you, it will be fun."
"I really don't feel like going out, let alone there." She snapped back, looking up from her book.
"You love pasta." He said raising his eyebrow looking over at his younger sister. "What's up?"
"That's just where all the annoying kids at school hang out."
"Oh." He fell silent and looked around the room. "So mom said you made a friend and she has been coming over every night."
"I'm tutoring her in Spanish." Santana rolled her eyes.
"Come on, talk to me Santana, we never see each other. I am trying, meet me halfway?"
"Fine." She closed her book. "What's up?" She asked trying to think of what to say.
He looked at her. "I want to hear more about you, your life."
"I am at home reading on a Friday night, how much do you think there is to my life?"
"San."
"Don't call me that." She sneered a little annoyed.
"I heard your new friend, Brittany calls you that." He saw Santana's face turn a little pink. "So I am guessing she is more than just someone that you tutor?"
"She is no one."
"Then why are you blushing?"
"I'm not blushing. I just…" Santana tried to think of an excuse but was not successful.
"Santana," Rico said seriously and put his hand on her knee. "you can tell me anything, you know that right?"
Santana nodded. "I don't know I can't get her out of my head." Rico smiled. "But it doesn't matter."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean she is a cheerleader, one of the most popular girls in school."
"She's pretty?"
"She's beautiful." Santana corrected him.
"It seems like you really like her."
"But like I said, she is at the top, I am at the bottom."
"Santana, this girl has been coming over almost every day for over a week now."
"She is just doing it for her Spanish, she needs to do well otherwise she won't pass."
"Talk to her. You never know what's in a person's head until you ask them. Santana, you are smart and beautiful, give it a shot."
Santana turned and faced her brother. "Thanks." She said and then gave him a quick hug.
"I'll see you around, kid." He said patting her on the leg and then he stood up and walked out of her room.
This chapter is really short and I am sorry but next chapter is much longer so it should even out. I am really excited for next chapter, I just have to read it over and edit it, but it should be up soon. I am so happy about all of the positive feedback I have gotten. Thanks again.
