Everyone stared at Santana. "What was that for?" Puck demanded. None of them could understand why Santana would want to get rid of a potential Glee Club member.

"Santana, what's up?" Mr. Schue asked, coming up to stand behind her. Santana debated what to say and decided to lie. She really didn't want people knowing about her and Alex being related.

"I've seen that girl before, she's slushied us." Santana said quietly. Gosh, that was horrible.

"No one got slushied today, and she's new." Rachel said from across the room. Everyone was staring at the Latina. Santana shot Rachel a nasty look and struggled to think of a response.

"Well, maybe that was someone else. But we don't need anyone else here. We already let Sugar in." Santana said, fiddling with her skirt.

"Santana, you know that's not how we do things here." Shuester reprimanded her, giving her a disapproving look. Santana ignored him and sat down.

The rest of the class consisted of everyone shooting Santana questioning looks and debating what songs to sing. Santana was incredibly relieved when the bell rang and she hurried out of class.

Brittany chased after her girlfriend, weaving her way in between the leaving students. "Santana! Wait for me." The blonde called, finally catching up to her.

"Why'd you make Alex leave?" Brittany asked, tilting her head to the side. Santana's jaw locked when she heard Alex's name come out of Brittany's mouth.

"The Glee Club doesn't need her Brit. We're fine the way we are." Santana replied. She hated lying to her girlfriend, but it had to be done. Brittany frowned and didn't say anything else. Santana leaned in and kissed her goodbye on the way out into the parking lot.

Santana waited a few minutes in her car and began to wonder where Alex was. The parking lot was nearly empty when the younger girl came jogging out of the school. She hurried over to the small red car and got in the passenger side.

"I figured you wouldn't want people seeing me get into your car, so I waited in the bathroom." Alex said quietly. She kept her eyes locked on the dashboard.

Santana nodded slightly and started the car. She pulled out onto the street quickly and drove towards home.

Not another word was exchanged between the two girls the rest of the way home. Alex hurried to get out of the car and into the house. Santana was slightly worried that Alex would say something to her mom, but as she followed her into the house she was relieved to see that she was not ratted out.

Santana went straight up to her room after she saw that she wasn't in any trouble, leaving Alex alone with Mrs. Lopez.

"How was your first day?" Alex saw that question coming all day. She lied, of course.

"It was fine. Santana introduced me to a few of her friends. She tried to get me to join a glee club, but I don't sing much." She completely lied through her teeth, feeling bad about it, but deciding it was better than having Santana even angrier with her.

"That's good." Mrs. Lopez replied, stirring something she was frying in a pan.

"Is it alright if I take a walk around the block?" Alex asked, drumming her fingers on the counter top.

Mrs. Lopez nodded. "Of course, it will probably be good for you know your way around." She encouraged, busily pouring spices into the sizzling dish. Alex nodded and shoved her Converse back on before heading out the door.

Alex was relieved that her mother thought it was a good idea to get out of the house. The air was crisp and fresh, but not too chilly and she enjoyed the feel of it on her bare arms. Alex soon found herself a few blocks from the house and realized she was a little bit lost. She tried to remember where she had taken rights and where she had taken lefts, but her mind had been so crowded with thoughts that she hadn't been paying attention.

Alex sat down on the curb and rested her head in her hands. Maybe she wouldn't worry about finding her way back to the house. It would definitely make Santana happier, and take stress off of her mother. Yes, Mrs. Lopez had accepted her, but Alex saw the way the woman saw her father in her. She had seen a picture of him once and definitely saw resemblance. Their noses were the same, as well as skin and hair color.

Lost in her own thoughts, Alex snapped her head up when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She recognized the girl instantly; she had been in the choir room. The girl was short, with an unusually large nose and dark brown hair.

"Can I help you?" Alex asked, standing up. She absolutely towered over the girl, though she was sure that she was younger than the midget.

"I'm Rachel Berry. I saw Santana kick you out of the choir room today. What's she got against you?" Rachel was very straightforward and Alex was kind of surprised.

"Um, I spilled her coffee this morning. I was going to go apologize to her, but I'm not sure where her house is." Alex was very surprised at how much she had lied today and how good she was at it.

"Ok, you're about five blocks away. The first three turns are lefts, and the last two are rights. Her house is the red brick one. Do you want me to walk you there?" Rachel offered, taking Alex by the wrist and leading her down the street. Seeing that she had no other options, Alex obliged.

"Brittany said you were singing earlier today. Are you a good singer?" Rachel asked after about a minute of walking.

Alex looked up from the sidewalk and turned to Rachel. "I guess. I was just singing a bit in the bathroom and I thought I was alone, but she just came skipping out of the stall and drug me down the hallway." Alex explained, recalling what happened earlier that day.

"Sing something." Rachel said suddenly. Alex looked up in surprise and shook her head.

"I'd really rather not." Alex said quietly. She smirked when Rachel gave her a look that said "Do it now".

I let it fall, my heart. And as it fell, you rose to claim it.

It was dark and I was over, until you kissed my lips and you saved me.

And my hands, they're strong, but my knees were far too weak.

To stand, in your arms, without falling to your feet.

But there's a side to you

That I never knew, never knew.

All the things you'd say

They were never true, never true,

And the games you play

You would always win, always win.

But I set fire to the rain,

Watched it pour as I touched your face,

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

Alex finished the chorus and looked at Rachel sheepishly. Her voice was actually amazing; edgy and strong, and she controlled it well.

"You're so good! Don't let Santana stop you from joining Glee." Rachel encouraged.

Alex smiled and then realized that they had arrived at The Lopez Residence. She nodded at Rachel, who smiled hugely in the over dramatic way that only Rachel Berry can do, and then turned around down the street.

Alex was met by Santana right as she walked through the door. "Why were you walking with her? What did you say?" She demanded, leaning in closer to Alex's face.

"She just insisted on walking with me. She wanted to know why you kicked me out of the choir room and I said I spilled your coffee and she believed it." Alex said quickly.

"Look, I don't even like Rachel and I don't want you talking to her. Don't talk to anyone I talk to." And with that, Santana whirled around and went back up to her room.

So, tell me if I should continue and what you think! And thanks to the people that left reviews! I love you!
