Chapter 5: Elementary School – Part 5
"As you may know the prom is a traditional event at every high school", Mr. Clerk, the class-teacher said, "Of course, primary school isn't high school, but nevertheless it's a huge step for all of you to finish primary school and start a new era at junior high. So I decided to organize a Mini-prom for you guys"
A cheer passed through the class. Santana took a side glance at Jimmy, who was sitting one bank in front of her and she noticed that he had turned around and looked at her as well. A satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Jimmy had grown into a very handsome boy and even though most girls were in the age at which they pretended, boys were the worst thing in the world, quite a lot had a crush on him secretly.
"Who are you going to prom with?", Santana asked, as soon as class was over.
"You", Brittany answered without any doubts.
Santana looked at her half confused, half shy and she could feel, she was blushing.
"We can't go together Britt", Santana explained.
Brittany made a pout. "Why not? I like you the most. I want to go with you"
Santana avoided her eyes and shook her head. "We are both girls. We can't go together. A girl is supposed to go with a boy", she paused a moment, "I think I'll ask Jimmy", she decided.
Brittany looked at her blankly. "He's the one who called me stupid. He tried to punch you while a other boy was holding you tight so you couldn't move. Don't you remember? He's mean"
"Yeah sure...but he is very nice lately", she smirked, "And he's cute, don't you think?"
"No!", Brittany folded her arms defiantly and made a pout again.
"Come on Britt", Santana tried to cheer her up, "You can ask Jesse. I think he likes you"
"But I don't like him. I want to go with you!"
"Don't be so stubborn", Santana started to get annoyed, "I'll go with Jimmy. Deal with it!", she turned around and walked away.
After a few steps, she already regretted that she was so mean. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she was so bitchy lately. Well, of course she has always been a bitch. But lately not even Brittany was safe from her.
She hated herself, when she was mean to her best friend, but sometimes she couldn't help it. Brittany was just so careless. She never thought about the consequences, she never thought about what the people around her could think. Santana couldn't be like this anymore. She was 11 now, almost 12. She would be in junior high in less than two month. She couldn't just act without thinking.
"Hey Weenie-Pants", Santana greeted Jimmy, didn't mind the group of boys standing around him.
He turned around and looked at her.
"You. I . Prom", Santana simply stated and turned to Jesse, "Oh and Messy-Jesse. Go and ask Britt"
Jesse frowned. "She wants to go with me?", he asked.
Santana shrugged her shoulders. "Probably not. But I don't want her to be alone. So ask her nevertheless.", with those words Santana turned around and walked away.
"I'm glad you changed your mind", Santana smiled into the mirror, while Brittany stood behind her and fixed Santana's ponytail.
It was the day of the prom and the two girls were in Santana's room getting ready for the evening.
Brittany wore a blue dress, the same blue as her eyes and Santana had chosen a red dress.
"Yeah...maybe It'll be fun...", Brittany said in a low voice and Santana could hear that she was still sad about the fact, that she rejected her.
"Britt", Santana stood up and looked at her warmly, "Just because we're not going together, doesn't mean, that we can't spend time together at the prom. Do you think I want to spend the whole evening with Jimmy? God no! A few dances with the boys and the rest of the night I'll spend with you and we'll make fun of the ugly dresses of the other girls. Okay?"
A smile appeared on Brittany's face and she nodded happily.
"That's how I like my girl", Santana laughed.
"Speaking of dresses", Santana continued and turned around, "How do I look?"
"Like a hot, cute, tiny devil", Brittany answered and grinned.
Santana giggled. "Perfect!"
"Are you going to stare at them the whole night or are you planing to dance with me eventually?"
"What?", Santana was ripped out of her thoughts, turned her head and looked at Jimmy's annoyed face.
"Why did you asked me to go with you, if you'd rather go with Jesse?", he asked
Santana frowned. "I didn't want to go with Jesse"
"Then why are you staring at him the whole time?", Jimmy sighed.
"I don't", she mumbled and stood up, "Relax Jelly-Bean. I'll dance with you", she took his hand and led him to the dance floor.
In fact, he wasn't completely wrong. She was staring. However, she wasn't starring at Jesse.
The evening was completely nothing like she had planned. Britt had spend almost the whole time with Jesse. It was like she had completely forgotten about Santana. Apparently the two got along wonderful.
After two fast songs, a ballad came through the speakers. Santana made a face, as Jimmy pulled her closer to him and laid her hands on her waist.
"You look really awesome today", he whispered shyly, but Santana didn't even hear him.
Her eyes were back on Britt and Jesse. He had pulled Brittany into his arms and her head lay on his shoulder.
He whispered something into her ear and Brittany raised her head again, looked at him surprised and then nodded happily.
Once the song had played to the end, Brittany ran to Santana, laughing.
"San! San!", she shouted excited, "I have a boyfriend now"
"What?", Santana looked at her, her eyes wide open.
"Jesse is my boyfriend now", she repeated, "He said, he always wanted to ask me out", she giggled, "But he was so afraid of you, so he never had the balls"
"I thought you don't like him", Santana didn't know exactly why, but she didn't like what was going on.
"I thought so too, but he's actually pretty sweet. He likes ducks and he has two cats", Brittany smiled.
"I'm going home!", Santana simply said and turned around.
"Wait!", Brittany grabbed her arm, "Already? I thought we wanted to make fun of ugly dresses together"
Santana looked back at Brittany. "Well, you can do this with Jesse now", she flamed at her.
"Are you mad?", Brittany asked and her eyes got watery.
Santana swallowed and turned away her head. Without saying anything she walked away.
"Wait! You're leaving already? I thought we would make out a little bit", she heard Jimmy next to herself.
"Oh screw you!", she yelled.
"Fine!", he narrowed his eyes, "Go! I don't need you to have fun. Nobody needs you. Even Britt gets along pretty well without you. Seems like your services as her watchdog are no longer needed"
She opened her mouth so say somethings, but she couldn't even think about any mean insults. So she just closed her mouth again and walked out.
Santana lied on her bed and stared at the ceiling. What was going in with her? Why the hell had she left the party so quickly last night? Why did it bother her so much, that Brittt had fun with Jesse?
"Santana! Tiene una visita!", she could hear her mother shout, after the door bell has rang.
She sighed, stood up and dragged herself down the stairs. When she reached the front door, the blonde girl in the doorway looked at her insecure.
"Why did your mother talk so strange?" she asked, confused.
Santana frowned. "It's Spanish. We're Hispanic," she explained a little bit annoyed.
"Oh", Brittany made, "I'm glad, my parents aren't Hipansic. I wouldn't understand a word"
Santana rolled her eyes and couldn't help but smile. "What are you doing here, Britt?", she asked in a softer voice now.
"Are you still mad?", Brittany asked shyly and lowered her head.
Santana sighed. "Want to come upstairs?"
"So, how was last night after I left?", Santana asked and looked at Brittany, who were sitting on her bed.
Brittany shrugged her shoulders. "I wasn't there much longer than you. Jesse brought me home after. That was nice"
Santana nodded, but suddenly she frowned. "Wait! But he didn't try to...well...you know?"
Brittany looked at her confused. "What?"
"I mean", Santana blushed, "He didn't try to...get into your pants, did he?"
She had heard rumors, that Jesse had already had a girlfriend once and that he had slept with her as well. And Santana could imagine that. He was after all a little older than the rest because he had repeated second grade.
Brittany giggled. "Nooooooo"
Santana breathed in relief and then looked a little confused at Brittany, who had a huge grin on her face. "What?"
"You're so sweet San. Even if you're mad, you still take care of me", Brittany answered.
"At least one thing I'm good at...", Santana mumbled and her voice sounded sadder as she wanted.
"You really are", Brittany said and looked at her warmly, "I was so excited about school, but everybody was so mean. But even if their words have hurt me every time, to see that you're there for me, made me forget it."
"Well yeah. But the guys aren't mean to you anymore and even if, you have Jesse now. So I'm kinda useless right?", it burst out of her, "I mean, what's the point in hanging out with me any longer?", Santana couldn't stop a few tears from running down her cheek. She wiped them away quickly. She hated it if others could see how weak she was.
For a moment Brittany just stared at her. "You aren't mad", she realized slowly, "You're sad. I made you sad"
"Dammit", Santana scolded as more tears rolled down her face. She stood up and turned her back on Brittany, so that she couldn't see, that she was crying.
Suddenly two arms wrapped around her from behind and she could feel Brittany's breath at her ear.
"Silly", Brittany whispered in a warm voice, "You're the best thing that happened to my life. And not just because you defend me. You're kind, you're funny, you're smart. And nobody gets me like you do. And no Jesse...anybody..could ever replace you. You're my best friend!"
