lostorwandering: I apologize, but I'm not sure how long their hook ups will occur. I can tell you that Rachel will be a major part in Santana's life, because they are in fact, friends. But I promise that Quinntana is end game.
BlackWidow01: Santana just hates reading for school. As the story goes on, you'll see a different side of her and how she writes for her own emotional reasons. I can tell you personally that I love to write, but hate reading when it comes to school lol.
My Green Light: Chapter 3
Quinn got home from school that day and found Mercedes on the couch, which was rare. Mercedes was her best friend and roommate, and she also happened to be an upcoming artist. She was usually always out talking to producers, recording, partying, and who knows what else. Mercedes was a nice person, though, and a great friend.
"Mercedes!" Quinn squealed as she dropped her bag by the door, and ran to hug her.
"Hey girl! Look at you! Such a hot teacher." She winked. "Tell me all about it."
"It's amazing. My first period is so loud, which is kind of unfortunate, but I love my third period." Quinn stated as she poured herself a glass of wine from the kitchen.
"That's great, Q." Mercedes yawned. "And I'm sure all the students think you're hot." Quinn shook her head.
"Nah, I don't think so. In fact, they probably hate me for the amount of work i give them. I already had a student come in this morning for help, and I felt so bad." Mercedes laughed.
"That doesn't mean she hates you. If she hated you, she wouldn't have asked for help." Quinn thought about it for a moment. That was true, and Santana seemed like the type of student who didn't like asking for help, so it must've meant something good that she came to her.
"Yeah, you're probably right." Quinn finally said as she sat beside Mercedes. "You look exhausted." Quinn giggled.
"I am. I had to sign so many contracts today, but on the plus side, I think we're finally ready to release the album."
"That's so exciting!" Quinn was happy for her friend.
"Thanks, Quinn." Mercedes smiled, and then yawned again. "I think I'm going to go to bed now before I fall asleep on you. Night babe." Mercedes gave a quick hug to Quinn, and then went to her room. Quinn thought about her students: did they hate her? Did they think she was hot? She had to admit, she was pretty young compared to a lot of teachers. Twenty-four was fairly young, and she was pretty much born in the same decade as her students. Quinn was beginning to get a little hungry as she got lost in her thoughts. She barely had any food at home, so she decided to pick something up from Breadstix. She had yet to try their food, but she heard it was amazing. She left Mercedes a note incase she woke up and wondered where she was.
Breadstix was packed. Quinn heard their food was good, but she hadn't expected it to be this crowded on a Wednesday. She stood in line for take-out, since she had already ordered her Chicken Parmesan. The take out worker seemed to be stressed, and Quinn recognized her from somewhere. As she got closer, the memories came flooding back. She was the girl that Santana was making out with in the bathroom. Quinn almost blushed at the memory.
"Quinn Fabray." The girl called. Quinn went up to the counter and smiled.
"Yes, that's me. Thank you." Quinn smiled and took her food.
"Hey! You're Ms. Fabray, right?" Quinn nodded. "Yeah. Santana's told me a lot about you. She really likes you. It sucks that I didn't get into your class." She pouted. Quinn was surprised. Did Santana really talk about her?
"And what's your name?" Quinn finally asked.
"Rachel!" She smiled brightly. "Ugh, I really wish I could chat more, but all these customers." Rachel rolled her eyes.
"That's okay, Rachel." Quinn smiled. "Feel free to talk to me at school whenever you want." Rachel nodded, and they said their good-byes. All throughout the drive home, Quinn couldn't help but smile at the thought of Santana speaking so highly of her. It had only been two days of school, and she was beginning to grow fond of her student. That was normal, right? Teachers could feel closer to certain students. Quinn tried to convince herself of that.

"So glad it's friday." Brittany said as she walked with Santana and Rachel. They had all just had second period together. Santana just nodded, but deep down, she was kind of disappointed. She really liked Ms. Fabray, and somehow the thought of not seeing her for two days made her sad.
"Oh, Santana!" Rachel suddenly said excitedly.
"What?"
"You'll never guess who I talked to at Breadstix the yesterday!" Rachel squealed.
"Barbara Streisand?" Santana rolled her eyes.
"Don't be silly. Do you really think I'd be here today if that happened?" Santana and Brittany giggled. "It was Ms. Fabray." Santana was now interested.
"Oh? What did you guys talk about?" Santana tried not to sound too eager.
"You." Rachel stated simply. Santana's eyes went wide.
"W-what do you mean?"
"We talked about you. I told her that you talk about her a lot, and she seemed happy about that." Santana was about to panic.
"Oh my god Rachel." Santana said through gritted teeth. "That's so embarrassing. I only talked about her like twice." Brittany and Rachel tried to conceal their laughs. Santana was angry at Rachel for embarrassing her, but Rachel had said that Ms. Fabray seemed happy about the confession. Before Santana could scold Rachel more, the bell for third period. Santana was one of the first ones into class. Could her luck be any worse? She went to her usual seat and decided to seem busy by looking at her phone.
"How's your reading coming along?" Santana almost jumped in her seat. She hadn't seen Ms. Fabray approaching her.
"O-oh it's good." Quinn smiled. Why was Santana so nervous around her? Her real personality definitely didn't seem like that.
"I'm glad to hear that." Santana just nodded, because she didn't trust herself to talk yet. "So no more morning meetings?" Quinn joked with a pout. This encouraged Santana to show more of her confident side.
"I didn't say that." Santana said with a small smile.
"Oh. Well then, I look forward to seeing you." Quinn smiled back and walked to the front of the classroom as more students gathered in. So many thoughts were running through Santana's mind at the moment. She definitely had it bad for her teacher, and it definitely wasn't good.

Saturday was uneventful. Puck had invited her to a party, but Santana just wasn't in the mood, so she invited Rachel and Brittany over. It was never awkward or weird between the three of them. They had been best friends since freshman year, and that's how it would always be. That's why they were both the only ones who knew about Santana's little crush. Rachel kind of already figured, after her reaction to Ms. Fabray catching them. And Brittany, well, she had Ms. Fabray too so she understood. Santana just didn't think it would get this bad. She was having dreams about her teacher for goodness sake.
"Watcha thinking San?" Brittany asked. They were all sitting on Santana's bed.
"Nothing. I'm bored." Brittany and Rachel nodded their heads in agreement.
"Let's do something fun and spontaneous." Rachel suggested. Santana snorted.
"Care to elaborate?"
"Well I happen to know a certain musical's in town." Rachel wiggled her eyebrows.
"Ooh sounds fun!" Brittany chimed in.
"Uh, no way. We're not going to a lame ass musical." Rachel pouted.
"But it's Wicked! It's not lame at all." Rachel tried to do a puppy face, but failed miserably. Santana caved anyway.
"Fine." She grumbled.
X.
They stood in line to buy their tickets. Santana had Rachel pay for all of theirs since she decided to drag them to this. They took their seats in the auditorium and Rachel was completely excited.
"You guys!" She squealed. "I can't believe we're actually doing this." Santana just rolled her eyes and let Rachel and Brittany freak out together. Santana scrolled through her instagram feed for a bit, but then got bored, so she looked around and observed the different people in the audience. Her heart started to beat faster as her eyes landed on a familiar blonde sitting two seats down from her. Santana leaned into Rachel's ear.
"Look at who's two seats beside me." She whispered. Rachel quickly looked and smiled big.
"Oh my god. Who would've thought?" Rachel laughed. "You should totally sit next to her during intermission."
"But that would be weird, Right?" Rachel just shrugged.
"I mean. It's not like you'd be doing anything wrong." Santana thought about it for a moment. It actually didn't seem like such a bad idea. It was definitely better than ignoring her all together. Before she could even think about it any more, it was intermission. The man who was sitting beside Ms. Fabray had gotten up, so now was Santana's chance. Brittany and Rachel gave her a thumbs up, which actually made her more confident. Santana slowly approached the blonde and sat down beside her. "Hey." She said casually.
"Santana?" Quinn was definitely surprised. "Wow. I definitely didn't expect to be seeing you here." She breathed out.
"What? Are you disappointed or something?"
"Oh no, no. Of course not." She smiled. "Just surprised. A good surprised, though." Santana's stomach filled with butterflies at the confession. "So how are you liking the show?"
"It's...interesting." Santana lied. She honestly had not been paying attention at all.
"Let me guess, you haven't even been watching it?" Santana smiled.
"How'd you know?"
"Don't know. Guess I can just read your mind or something." She joked, but Santana gulped nervously.
"Ms. Fabray?"
"Oh, no. It's Quinn outside of school." Quinn insisted.
"Wow, okay...Quinn. Pretty name, by the way." Quinn couldn't help but blush at the compliment. "I just wanted your opinion..do you think I'm immature?"
"No of course not." Quinn answered right away. "Why do you ask?"
"It's just that all my teachers say I'm too immature. I kind of expected you to think the same." Santana admitted. She couldn't believe how much she was actually talking, and how much Quinn was actually talking back. Quinn smiled.
"Screw them." Santana lifted her eyebrow up, not expecting her to say that. "No, really. I think you're wonderful student, Santana." Ouch, student. "And I think you're an even wonderful person." Santana blushed.
"Wow, thanks Quinn." She still felt weird calling her teacher by her first name, but it also felt kind of normal.
"Anytime, Santana." She smiled. "Well would you look at that, the show's almost over." She laughed.
"Oh shit. I'm sorry." Santana felt bad now and a bit embarrassed.
"Don't even worry about it. I had more fun talking to you." Quinn admitted. Santana just smiled softly. She wish she could do other things, but she knew she couldn't, so she instead got up.
"I had fun too, but I should probably get going." Santana stood there awkwardly, and then decided to be bold and lean in for a hug. Quinn was taken by surprise at first but returned the hug right away.
"See you." Quinn finally said. She couldn't believe she was letting her student have this much effect on her, but what scared her more was that she wasn't even sure what exactly she wanted from Santana; she just knew she wanted more.
