~~7am the Next Morning~~

I get up and get dressed; I walk into Noah's room and see a cheerios uniform thrown over a chair, I look at the bed and see Santana cuddled into Noah with his arm wrapped around her. I gently wake her; she opens her eyes and smiles at me. "Time to get up." She nods and I walk back out and into my room. I hear them moving and doors closing. Santana walks in to me and smiles. "Can I borrow your make up?" I nod at her and pass over my make up bag. Noah walks in before we walk downstairs. Elsie stares at us. "Oh Santana, I didn't know you stayed over." I nod. "Sorry Elsie, we had been up talking for hours, we didn't want to cause a fuss by leaving her home so late so she stayed in my room." Elsie nods. "I'm glad to see your making friends." I nod at her and we walk outside after getting some toast.

"My car today, remember Noah?" he nods and I hit the unlock button on the car keys Santana stares at my car and we get in. "Nice ride." I smile at her. "It was a present from the Vocal Adrenaline coach after we won last year, we all got one." She stares at it and I drive us to school.

We get in and Noah walks over to Sam and Finn, we walk towards our lockers and one of the guys throws a slushie in my face. Everybody laughs and I wipe it out of my eyes. I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn round. Sam passes me a towel. "Don't worry, we all got one when we started Glee." I nod at him and wipe my face. "Great, Now im a red, cherry smelling, sticky mess." He half laughs at me. "You better go get cleaned up." I nod at him and walk into the girls' bathroom. Santana and Quinn follow me in. "Oh sweetie." They help me get cleaned up. "I'll go see if I have any spare clothes in my locker." I nod at Quinn and Santana brushes my hair. "Sam was quick to help." I look at her through the mirror and smile. Quinn comes back in with some clothes and I put them on.

We walk back out and go over to the lockers. "No longer a red, sticky cherry smelling mess?" I turn round to Sam and shake my head. "Thanks." He nods at me. "Walk with me to English?" I nod at him and take out the books for my first three classes. Santana smiles at me and nods. "Yeah, ok." He smiles and we walk along the corridor. "Your Toxic cover was great yesterday." I smile at him. "Thanks." He nods. "I'm into acoustic covers too. Do you want to be my partner? I nod. "Yeah, sounds good." He nods again. "Any idea what song?" I shake my head. "Ok then, we have Science last two, how about we both come up with a song by then?" I nod at him again. "Sounds even better." We walk into English and I take my seat at the back.

"Walking with the other new kid." Kurt says and turns round to me. I raise my eyebrows and he nods. "Sam moved here about a month ago." I nod and get back to my work.

~~Lunch~~

We get out of math and walk up to our lockers. "So, what did Sam want to talk about?" Quinn asks me. "He asked me to be his partner for the duets." She smiles and Santana's mouth drops. "What did he say?" I smile. "He said that my cover of Toxic yesterday was great and that he was into acoustic covers to and then he just asked me." Santana does a proud smile.

We walk into the canteen and lift some salads, we sit down, Santana facing me, Brittany on my left and Quinn on Santana's right. Some other cheerleader's join us and then so do the boys. Sam takes the seat beside me. "Hi." I nod at him. "Hey." We eat our lunch and Santana kicks me in the shin. I smile at her and continue eating my lunch. I see some of the other Glee kids sitting at a table behind us. "So, who are you guys all pairing with for the duets?" Santana asks on purpose. "I'm working with Geoff." Quinn says. "I and Nikki are working together." Sam says. Santana nods. Some of the guys walk out and Sam gets up. "See you later." I nod at him and smile.

Santana smiles at me and Rachel walks over. "Hello. Some of us were wondering how it is fair that you just started yesterday, and you have taken the extra seat at the popular table Nicola." Rachel says to me. "Cause we wanted her to." Quinn says. "And it's Nikki, by the way." Santana adds in. "Well that can't be fair, can it? We have worked harder, been here longer and wanted more, to be at this table than you." I look away from her. "Nothing to say for yourself?" I stand up. "Ex-Excuse me." I walk away and go into the bathrooms. "Hey, are you ok?" I hear Sam before I walk in. I sit on a sink and Santana walks in. "I could slap that bitch!" I nod at her. "Get in line." She smiles and Quinn walks in. "Hey are you ok?" I nod at her. "What's going on?" Santana looks at me and I nod, she tells Quinn. "That bitch!" I nod at her.

They hug me and I smile. "Lets go." I nod at Quinn and we walk back out, I see Sam and he nods at me to go over. "Are you ok?" I nod at him. "Yeah, I'm fine." He nods. "You sure?" I smile. "Positive." He leans up against his locker. "We have some serious competition you know." I nod. "Who?" he smiles. "Finn and Rachel." I lean against the locker beside him. "I think we will be ok." He smiles at me. "You still smell like Cherry." I laugh at him and look round to Santana; she does a heart symbol with her hands. The bell goes. "I'll see you in Science." I nod and walk back over to the girls. "You two are so cute together." I smile. "Lets go on to class." We nod and walk towards history.

~~The Bell Goes [After History]~~

"See you at Glee." Santana says to me. I nod at her and walk towards Science.

I walk in and sit down. "Hi." I nod at him. "So, have you thought of a song." I nod at him. "Shh." We look up at the teacher and nod. He writes the name of his song down on a piece of paper and so do I. we swap sheets and I smile. We both picked Teenage Dream, by Katy Perry. "I guess it's settled he says to me. "Yeah, looks like it is." I smile at him and bite my lip, "Look." He points to the window. "It's snowing." I smile. "I love the snow." He says to me. I nod. "Me too."
