First of all: sorry that it took my like forever to update, but I have so much work to do at the moment, that I can't write often. And then, as said before, my mother tongue isn't english so it took me even longer to write a new chapter.

But anyway. Here it is now.

And i decided to be not completely canon in the future. I'll take a few thinks from the storyline from glee but it may happen that I change things here and there, because just rewrite what happend in Glee is maybe a little boring ;)

So have fun with the chapter! :)

Chapter 17

"San?"

"Yes?"

Brittany stopped and looked at her. They were at the way home from Puck's party.

Her eyes had an insecure expression. "Um...can I kiss you?"

Santana's eyes widen and her heart began to speed up. "What?"

"I know you said only when we're at home", Brittany hasten to say, "but I have to sleep at my place today and so are you...because of the stupid no-sleepovers on school-day rule..so we won't be at home together and I really want to kiss you", her eyes went down to Santana's lips.

Santana swallowed. "Um Britt...I...I", she stumbled. Now as she weren't that tipsy anymore, she felt embarrassed about the new kiss-rules she made at the party. A part of her wanted to take this rules back but there was this other part which didn't want to.

Because, what was wrong about kissing Brittany? The guys found it hot and they could practice kissing. It's not as if it would mean something, right?

And the way Brittany looked at her in this moment, with her darken, blue eyes filled with lust, made Santana want to kiss Brittany too.

She swallowed one more time. "Yeah...I guess", she whispered huskily and as soon as the words were out, Brittany leaned down and closed Santana's lips with her owns.

The kiss was different from the one they had at the party. The kiss now was more passionate, more demanding. Brittany pulled Santana closer to herself, while her tongue was asking for entrance. Santana opened her mouth immediately and as they tongues met, a small moan escaped from her. Brittany smirked into the kiss and her hand stroke softly Santana's side, touching slightly the bare skin between her shirt and her jeans.

Santana got goosebumps and a shiver ran down her spine. The kiss felt so good and she wanted so much more of it.

Why was this happening? She never felt anything like that with any of those guys she had kissed. It made her nervous. She felt weak. It made her afraid.

Santana ended the kiss, opened her eyes again and looked into the blue ones of Brittany.

"San. I have to say something to you...", Brittany started so say in a low voice while looking deeply into her eyes.

The looked made Santana nervous. Everything was way too intense. Too emotional. Brittany had such a warmth in her eyes that Santana had the feeling she was melting from the inside. She couldn't handle that. She broke the eye contact and looked at her feet.

"What do you have to say to me?", she asked with a trembling voice.

Brittany kept quiet for a moment. "I totally think that Noah likes you", she finally said but somehow her voice had a sad undertone.

Santana raised her head, surprised about what Brittany just said and looked at her.

Her eyes were still warm but there was something else in it, but Santana couldn't tell what it was.

"You like him too right?", Brittany asked and started to walk again, linking pinkies.

"Um..", Santana just made. She was still confused about the sudden situational change, "Yeah he is nice"

"And you liked kissing him, right?", Brittany continued to ask.

"Yes", Santana said honestly. She did like it. She just didn't fell the same, she felt with Brittany a few minutes ago.

"Cool", Brittany simply stated.

They walked the rest of the way in silence. When they reached the point where their ways separated they stopped.

"Well then, get home safely", Santana said in a weird voice.

"Yeah, you too", Brittany looked at her and for a moment they just looked in each others eyes.

"Um...", Santana started to stumble, "Text me when you're at home, okay?"

Brittany nodded with a smile and pulled Santana into her arms. "See you tomorrow"

Then she interrupted the embrace, turned around and walked away.

Santana watched her and her stomach started to feel weird again. But this time, it wasn't a good feeling.

"Are you nervous?", Brittany looked at Santana with concerned eyes.

"No", Santana lied and tried to hide her shaky hands.

"You don't have to be nervous", Brittany said with a warm voice, "You're awesome. And if that NewYear woman doesn't see that she must be blind"

Santana smiled slightly "Thanks Britt. It's just really important for me to get into the team", she answered honestly.

"I know", Brittany nodded, "But it'll be fine. We just do the choreography we learned at junior high with Quinn. It will totally convince her"

"Okay", Santana breathed out.

Brittany took her hand into her own and squeezed it gently.

A second later Quinn came towards the two. "Come on guys, it's our turn now"

Santana swallowed and clung to Brittany's hand. Then the three entered the sports hall.

A woman with short, blond hair was sitting behind a desk and looked at them grim-faced. Santana let go off Brittany's hand quickly, but she was pretty sure the coach saw it anyways.

"Well, go on. Show me what you got", she said annoyed.

Quinn cleared her throat. "This is some choreography we learned at junior high", she explained and added a quick, "I was captain back then and those two were co-captains"

Santana looked at her angrily for that last sentence, but she forced herself to don't give any backtalk.

Instead she focused on the performance which lay in front of her. The music started and Quinn began to move. It went smoothly. Once Santana started to dance, her nervousness was gone. She had to admit, that they were a pretty good team. Every movement was right, every jump, every catch exactly to the right time.

As the music ended they stood there in their final pose and looked at Sue anxiously.

She looked bored but somehow Santana knew, that she liked what she just had seen.

After a few seconds she finally opened her mouth. "At least I don't have to vomit which is an improvement to the last performances I saw, but I want to talk to you girls alone"

"Disney princess you stay", she looked at Quinn.

Santana turned around and was about to go, but Brittany didn't move.

Santana smiled slightly. "She meant Quinn, Britt", she whispered.

Brittany looked at her confused. "Oh"

"Why I'm not a princess?", Brittany asked with a pout, as she left the sports hall.

Santana giggled. "Oh don't listen to Sylvester! You're a princess"

Brittany smiled. "You think?"

"Of course. Look at you. You're beautiful", she said without thinking, but as she realized what she just said she felt her face getting hot. Why would she say something cheesy like that?

Brittany looked at Santana with a mixed expression. Surprised, happy but also a little bit shy.

Santana suddenly felt the urge to hug her. Gosh what was wrong with her?

But instead she tried to change the subject. "Do you think we'll make it? In the team I mean"

Brittany nodded confident. "Sure"

Santana nodded to, more to convince herself. A few moments later, Quinn came out of the sports hall.

"That was quick", Santana said.

Quinn grinned. "I made it. I'm a cheerio!"

"Awesome", Brittany yelled and clapped into her hands.

But Santana felt queasy. She was happy for Quinn of course, but what if she didn't make it. Quinn was her best friend but also her biggest rival. If Quinn was a Cheerio but she wouldn't make it, it would kill her.

"She wants to talk to you next", Quinn said to Brittany.

"Okay", she glance at Santana a last time and went into the hall.

"Grats!", Santana said and tried to sound honest.

She nodded. "Thanks"

"What did you talk about in there?"

Quinn shrugged her shoulders. "Not much. She asked a few questions about our cheerleading team at junior high and how my grades were and stuff like that", she smiled, "Don't worry"

Santana wanted to say to her, that she wasn't worried, but she knew it was worthless. Everybody could she that she was. And she hated it.

It felt like hours til Brittany came finally back. She had a huge smile on her face. Santana's heart jumped.

"You made it?", she asked.

Britt nodded and her eyes sparkled.

"That's great Britt", Santana said and this time she really meant it.

"Thank you", Brittany beamed at her, "You'll make it too. I'm 100% sure"

Santana entered the room and walked to the desk. Sue looked at her with emotionless eyes. For a moment nobody said a word and it was awkwardly quiet. Santana started to clench her hands nervously.

"I know girls like you and Quinn", Sue finally said, "Most of the girls just want to be on the team, because they think it's fun. But you know what it means to be in the Cheerios. You know, it means that you're on top of the schools hierarchy and you would do anything to be popular. And you know that I can give you this popularity. You know it depends on me, if the school loves you or if you get a slushy facial every morning. So you would do everything to please me. I like the idea of that. I could use some puppets. And that blonde, who probably can't even tie her shoes..she is stupid and does whatever you tell her to do. So she'll be my puppet too"

Sue paused for a moment. Santana opened her mouth to protect Brittany but then she closed it again without saying anything.

A contented smile appeared on Sue's face. "You just prove me right"

"You're a Cheerio, but.. I'll make Quinn captain"

Santana gasped quietly and anger boiled up inside her. Quinn was captain. Again! It was completely random and Santana knew it. Quinn wasn't better then her and besides, if it came to talent, Britt must have been captain. But talent wasn't the main factor here. Sue wanted to play a game and Santana had to play along.

"Thank you", Santana hissed between her teeth.

"And now go. I'll have to see your pathetic face often enough in the future"
