"Teamwork" Chapter 21

"Get up! Be in the lobby in 15 minutes! We have a long practice today!" Coach Sylvester yelled through the door after repeatedly pounding on it.

"Damn it!" Santana whispered as she covered her face with her pillow. "It's too damn early!"

Quinn sleeply got out of her bed, "It's 10 AM San, your lucky she didn't make us get up at 8 like usual."

Santana growled into her pillow, "Fuck me."

"I thought we were going to wait?" Brittany asked rubbing Santana's arm.

Pulling the pillow off of her face, Santana looked up at girlriend, "Not literally." She then stood up out of the bed and pulled her practice clothes out of her suitcase.

"I feel pretty good." Brittany smiled as she started to get dressed, "I got like 8 hours of sleep, isn't that what your suppost to get?"

Santana pulled her hair up into a high ponytail, "Well, I was practically your pillow so no wonder why.."

"Are you okay? Your in like a pissy mood." Quinn asked, tying her shoelaces.

"Hold on, I got this," Brittany walked over to the latina and pulled her into a kiss only to have Santana deepen it.

"Mmmm.." Santana sighed into the kiss as she wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck.

Quinn covered her eyes, "Seriously guys? There is so much non needed PDA in this room."

Pulling away, Brittany giggled, "When she's in her bad morning mood I give her my amazing good morning kiss to make her happy."

"I don't know if it worked just yet," Santana smirked as she tilted her head, begging for another kiss.

Brittany leaned in and kissed her again, "How about now?"

"I don't know, maybe anot... oww!" She looked at the ground and found a pillow next to her foot. "Quinn! Why did you throw that pillow at me?"

"Well I didn't want to sit her and watch you guys swallow eachother. Plus that pillow was the only thing reachable so I was like 'Hey why not throw it at you'!" Quinn replied with a sarcastic grin.

"Hey," Santana smirked, "I know you want to be all up on me and Britts because you know, were sexy as hell! But, I'm sorry to say that we have to decline."

Quinn rolled her eyes, "Yes, Santana. Your exactly right..." She then put on a devilish smile, "Ehh, well I'd probably want more of Britt tho..."

Santana's smirk dropped, "Fuck you."

"I though we already talked about that!" Quinn laughed as she headed to the door, "Now lets go, I'm hungry."

They girls made their way into the lobby with the rest of their team. Brittany made sure to have her pancakes while Santana had her waffles. Brittany still tried to argue that Santana was a hater towards pancakes, Santana didn't even fight back this time. After they finished, they made their way out to the courtyard to start practice.

"Okay! Today is not going to be like any normal practice," Coach Sylvester announced through her megaphone.

All of the Cheerio's looked at eachother in confusion. They had no idea what this non-normal practice was going to be like.

Coach Sylvester rolled her eyes, "Oh quit giving me those clueless looks. For one, this practice will be two hours longer then usual."

The girls groaned and pouted at the news of the time schedule.

"Anyways," Coach Sylvester continued. "I've observed our team and learned there is quite some tension going on?" She took a few steps back, "To win this competition we have to work together. Not as individuals but as one. We are working on teamwork for the first two hours of this practice, we are going to become a team built on partnership."

All of the girls nodded their head. Atleast it was better than running laps and puking their brains out. This practice actually may be fun.

Coach Sylvester made everyone sit in one big circle. She obviously knew that parts of the circle would be seperated by groups of friends, like how in one part it was Quinn, Santana, Brittany, Chelsea, Lilly, and Hilary all sitting on one side of it. So, after they were all seated she moved them around so they weren't sitting by who they knew best.

Santana was now sitting by a ginger cheerleader names Allison. The girl was a sophmore in her school. She wasn't very pretty but the girl could tumble. Santana wasn't really excited to get to know her because Allison had these huge brown eyes that could scare big foot off. Everytime she smiled it seemed like she was planning something evil.

Brittany on the other hand sat next to a tall brunette named Lexi. Lexi was a sophmore like Allison but with way better features. This girl was stunning. She had an amazing figure and bright baby blue eyes. Boys have actually made bets that she would work for Victoria Secrets someday. Santana was deffinitley not happy about this. Thankfully she dated most of the guys in her grade, which ment she was most likely straight.

Coach Sylvester was making them sit down, one on one, with the girl next to them. "I want you to report back to me in an hour after you've gotten to know your teammate. Understood?"

The girls nodded their heads and walked away with a teammate following. Brittany and Lexi decided to go chill in the workout room. They weren't actually going to work out it's just all the other rooms were occupied with other Cheerios.

"So your names Brittany, right?" Lexi asked as she sat down on an exercise ball.

Brittany nodded her head, "Yup, and your Lexi. I know because every single guy wants you," She joked.

"Ehhh," Lexi blushed. "I get used to it. Sometimes I just want the guys to leave me alone."

Brittany chuckled and then looked down, "Soo..."

"How about we don't make this awkward," Lexi smiled. "I'll start by talking about myself. Okay, I'm a sophmore and I'm obbsessed with shopping, my cellphone, and The Vampire Diaries."

Brittany tilted her head in confusion,"The Vampire Diaries? What's that?"

Lexi's mouth dropped, "Seriously? It's like the best show ever! It's about a love triangle between a mortal named Elena and two vampire brothers named Stefan and Damon. Elena is so damn lucky! Stefan and Damon are like the hottest vampires alive!"

Brittany nodded her head, "So kind of like twilight?"

Lexi raised her eyebrow, "Please don't ever compare twilight with The Vampire Diaries. Just don't."

Brittany nodded and then looked down, "Sorry." She didn't mean to upset the brunette.

"It's fine," Lexi smiled. "So anyways, tell me about yourself."

"Well," Brittany started, "I'm a freshman and I love to dance, I love Disney movies, and I own a cat that smokes."

Lexi squinted her eyes, "Wait? You own a cat that smokes?"

Brittany nodded, "Yeah, like I told him to stop but he never listens! I wanted to put him on the patch but it won't stick on through his fur.."

"Intresting..." Lexi set her hands on her knees, "Anyways, I've heard a few rumors about you.."

"Like..." Brittany added, getting her to continue.

"Well that," Lexi looked at the ground, "That you play for another team... But I totally get if it's not true. Girls can be total bitches and make stuff up like that. I just wanted to know if it was true or not."

Brittany's eyes widened at Lexi's question, "..."

Down the hall from the workout room was the lobby, where Santana and Allison went to get to know eachother. They decided to sit at one of the breakfast tables.

"Soo..." Santana started to trace her finger along the table.

"Santana right?" Allison asked, looking down at her.

"Yeah." Santana started to feel awkward having her stare at her like that, "Can you please not stare me down. It's kind of intimidating.."

Allison instantly looked down, "Sorry. Yeah, I get that alot. Some people in school call me Bug Eyes."

Santana started to feel a little bad for the girl, "Oh... I'm sorry."

Allison gave off a sigh, "It's fine. I'm used to it. It just hurts sometime, you know?"

Looking up at her, Santana nodded, "So do you want to tell me ab..." She was caught off when Allison started breaking down it tears, "Are you okay?" She frantically looked around to see if anyone was staring at them.

"Yeah..well no.." Allison wiped her eyes, "Like, it's bad enough being a ginger because everyones like 'You have no soul' and now to add on I get messed with because of my eyes! It's not my fault! It's not like I want to stare at you all day.. no offence."

"Non taken.."

"I was born with big eyes! I can't help the fact that my eyes are bigger then everyone elses! I seriously wish everyone wasn't judgemental! Like i'm a normal person! I like most of the things regular looking girls like! I like going shopping and texting like regular girls. Thats why I joined Cheerios..." She paused to take a breath, "I wanted to fit in.."

Santana looked down at her hands and bit her lip. She felt so sorry for the girl. But it also made her think about her situation. Allison is right, so many people are judgemental. Maybe if they weren't she'd feel better about being a lesbian. All of what Allison said really hit home. "People suck, don't they?"

Allison chuckled, "Yeah, they do. Look, I'm sorry about putting all that on you. It's just I need to get that out and it feels really good to know that I did. Now enough about me, what about you?"

Santana nodded with a smile, "Well as you already know i'm Santana Lopez. You've probably heard I can be a bitch."

Allison laughed and nodded. Everybody on that team knew that Santana could rip any of them into shreds. One time one of the Cheerio's almost dropped Brittany during a stunt and Santana went crazy. That's probably one of the reasons why their doing this teamwork build up.

"Hmmm.." Santana tried to think of more stuff, "I'm a latina, my parents are rich I guess you could say, and all my closest friends are on this team."

"It's Quinn and that other blonde right?" Allison asked.

Santana nodded, "Her names Brittany. She's probably the closest person to me. I'd dodge a bullet for that girl."

"I see," Allison smiled, "So she's like a sister to you?"

Santana felt disusted at that question. Brittany was nothing like a sister to her, more like a soulmate. "Uhhmm, no. I wouldn't put it that way.."

"Oh, okay." Allison was quite confused but just decided to leave it at that. She knew she struck a nerve by Santana's expression to her question.

The hour was finally up and all of the Cheerios made their way back into the courtyard. Coach Sylvester had them sit in a circle again, "Okay. As we go around the circle, I want everyone to explain what they learned about their teammate."

Most of the responses were like 'She likes to go shopping' or 'Her favorite TV show is Teen Wolf.' It was pretty expectable.

Allison's turn was up, "I learned that Santana is a total badass and she would take a bullet for her closest friends."

"Hey, don't make me sound like a softy!" Santana joked, "Okay. I learned that Allison is just like any regular cool girl. She loves to shop and text and she's totally cool to hang around."

Allison smiled at Santana's response. Nobody really tried to understand her and it felt nice to have a friend who liked her for her.

Coach Sylvester nodded, "Nice girls. Okay, your turn Brittany."

"Okay!" Brittany smiled, "I learned that Lexi isn't like every girl who is obbsessed with boys," She joked. "But she is obbsessed with shopping, her phone, and a show called The Vampire Diaries. Which is nothing like Twilight if your wondering."

"Nothing at all!" Lexi added. "Okay now my turn. I learned that Brittany is different. She has a cat that smokes and loves Disney movies. She's really cool and extremely fun to talk to. She doesn't care about what people think of her even though she said her girlfriend does. Which she won't mention to me who. Like I'm cool that your into girls and every... shit."

Everyone looked at Brittany with big eyes.

Lexi covered her mouth in shock, "I'm so sorry Brittany! I didn't mean to tell everyone that!"

Brittany looked around and saw everybody staring at her like she was some foreign creature. She stood up and sprinted back into the hotel.

"God, what the hell is wrong with me! I promised her I wouldn't tell! I feel terrible!" Lexi covered her face. She honestly didn't mean to put that out there.

Quinn looked over at Santana who was sitting there in shock. Her eyes were staring down at the ground and her jaw was dropped. Quinn decided to take action, "I'm going to go find her.."

Quinn ran inside and looked everywhere. She wasn't in the pool room, the lobby, or the workout room. She then decided to check in their hotel room. She took the stairs up and swiped the room open with her card. "Britt?"

Brittany was laying on her bed with her face stuffed in a pillow. Her shoulders were shaking which ment she was crying.

"Brittany..." Quinn walked over and sat on the bed, rubbing her back. "I'm so sorry that happened."

Brittany sat up on the bed, "San..Santana is..is go..ing to hate m..me."

Quinn moved some stray hairs out of her face, "Why would Santana hate you?"

"Be..Because.." Brittany cried out, "Every...everybody knows...ab..about me! She..She's not re..ready for that!"

Quinn couldn't even imagine what this girl was going through, "Britt, does Santana love you?"

Brittany nodded her head.

"Then she won't hate you. It's not like you ment for this to come out." Quinn pulled her into a hug.

"You pro..promise?" Brittany mummbled into Quinn's shoulder.

"I promise, Britt." Quinn knew that Santana couldn't hate Brittany. No one could hate Brittany.

There were two small knocks at their door.

Quinn pulled away from the hug, "I'll go get it, okay?"

Brittany nodded as she layed back down on the bed.

Quinn walked over and opened the door.

"Is Britt in here?"

Quinn nodded her head, "Yeah, she's crying really hard. She really needs you San."

Santana looked down, "I know. Can I talk to her alone?"

Quinn smiled, "Of course." She let Santana in the room and the walked out, shutting the door behind her.

Santana looked at Brittany from across the room, "Britt..."
