Chapter 3: Elementary School – Part 3

"A li-lit-littl...a little d-du...a little duck", Brittany drove her finger from letter to letter and read it aloud, "A little duck s-sw..."

She sighed and rolled on her back. "I don't want to read anymore", she whined, "Can't you read it out loud?"

"And how should that help improving your reading skills?", Santana asked with a grin.

"Not at all", Brittany admitted, "I just like it to listen to your voice"

Santana blushed a little and grabbed the book, which was a present from Santana for Brittany for her birthday a few days ago. "Fine. But only one page, okay?" Dammit. She just couldn't say no to her.

Brittany nodded with a big smile on her face.

"A little duck swam over the lake. Suddenly a big white duck appeared...", Santana started to read.

Brittany folded his arms behind her head, closed her eyes and let the sun shine on her face.

The two were on a glade, Brittany had found a few weeks ago while walking through the woods. She swore that she has met a unicorn that had shown her the way.

There was even a small lake. Actually it was more of a big puddle, but it was still very nice.

It was now early July, the school year was almost over and it was getting really hot. But in the shadows of the trees it was to endure well, so Santana and Brittany spent most of her afternoons here.

They also did their homework together. In this way, Santana could help her friend understanding all the things they did in school. She knew that Brittany wasn't stupid. She simply thought different.

"Oh look!", Brittany suddenly said and pointed excited at a caterpillar, which was hanging at a tree branch, "He has a hat"

Santana looked closer at the little animal and giggled. "It's not a hat Britt. He's making a cocoon. Look! He's building it around himself"

Brittany frowned. "Like a house?"

"Yeah", Santana nodded, "He'll transform into a butterfly in it"

"Wow. How long will he be in it?", she asked, still watching her new green friend.

"I don't know", Santana shrugged her shoulders, "I guess a month or something"

"A month?", Brittany repeated surprised, "It must be pretty boring in there. I hope he took something to read with him"

Santana shook her head in amusement. "I think he'll sleep the whole time"

"No. You can't sleep this long. I tried it once. Didn't work", Brittany replied with conviction.

It was almost 7pm, when they went home.

At the crossroads where their ways parted, they stopped and Brittany pulled Santana in a goodbye hug.

"See you tomorrow", she smiled.

"See ya", Santana replied and took the way to her right.

"Hey San", Brittany shouted after her. Santana turned around again.

"When I'll make my cocoon, I want you in it", Brittany said with a smile, "Because I don't want to spend a whole month without you"

~~~~ a month later ~~~~~~

Today was the last day before summer break and they would get their school certificate. There wasn't any actual grades on it, because they were only in first grade, but there would be a long text, which described the performance of the pupils.

Santana wasn't bad at school. She liked math and reading and writing wasn't a problem for her at all. So she didn't worry about that.

But the certificate text also described the behavior of the pupils and that was clearly nothing, Santana shined in. There haven't been any more physical confrontation after their fray on the first day, but this didn't mean, that Santana could stand any of these boys. They insulted each other on every occasion.

Santana was afraid that this would be mentioned in her school certificate and her parents would be mad. She sighed and looked at the empty chair, on which Brittany usually sat.

The lesson started 5 minutes ago and Brittany wasn't there. If she were ill this day, Santana wasn't sure if she would made it. She needed a bit of the Brittany happiness.

Suddenly the door opened and Brittany stormed in, directly towards Santana.

"San, look!", she shouted, not caring about anything that was going on.

As she reached her friend, she held her closed hands in front of Santana's face and opened them slowly. A butterfly came out, flew around Santana's head and then made his way across the classroom.

Brittany giggled happily. "I checked on him on the way to school and then I saw that he was about to hatch so I waited", she explained, while following the butterfly with her eyes.

Santana looked at her and a big smile appeared on her face. "That's great Britt!"

The butterfly flew a few laps, then found the window and flew out. Brittany waved after him. "Goodbye Flutters"

The whole class started to laugh, but for the first time most of them didn't laugh at Brittany, but with her.

Even Miss Peterson couldn't be mad, but she had to continue her lesson anyhow. "Could you please sit down Brittany", she demanded with a slightly smile.

"Oh of course. I'm sorry!", Brittany made a guilty face and looked like she just realized that she was in the middle of the class room.

"You wanna meet at the glade tomorrow?", Santana asked with a smile, when they stopped at the crossroads to say goodbye.

"I can't", Brittany said sadly, "My parents send me to a summer school the whole holidays. They told me yesterday."

"Oh..", Santana simply made. She has been sure she would spend her free days mainly with Brittany. To hear that this wouldn't happen, made her sadder than she had thought.

"That sucks..", she added in a low voice.

"I'll gonna miss you", Brittany looked at her with warm eyes.

Santana cleared her throat. "Yeah..", she mumbled.

There was a moment of silence and Santana looked at her shoes shyly.

"Listen", she started after a while and looked back into Brittany's eyes, "Don't let anyone in this school give you crap, okay?"

Brittany just nodded and pulled Santana into her arms. "Thanks San", she whispered into her ear, "You're the best!"
