Thanks to those who reviewed the first installment. Twi-Ranger thank you for pointing out my mistake, i will remember that in the future =)
I don't own Glee i'm just borrowing the characters =) Feel free to leave comments, good or bad, feedback is always welcome.
Rachel stared after Santana before turning to Noah who was asking her a question she didn't hear. With a frown she asked him to repeat himself without thinking she might regret it.
"I asked why she was so upset if you two aren't getting it on?" Rachel had seen Noah's more serious side but this was not it.
"Maybe Noah, because we was ambushed by the football team today and asked the exact same thing only more harshly." Rachel was scowling now. "It gets on my nerves and you know how short Santana's fuse can be."
"OK well I didn't know that. Besides since when are you two friends?" Puck asked with a confused look on his face that was mirrored by more than half of the Glee club.
"Since about a month and a half ago when it was storming really bad and Santana didn't have a ride home. My dad insisted on giving her a ride." Rachel explained with a frown.
"Your dad gave her a ride and she became your BFF?" Artie asked curiously.
"No not exactly. But she did hit it off with my dad really well and when he invited her over for dinner that night we got to know each other a little better, and I found out she needed some help with school work so we study together sometimes." Rachel was becoming irate with having to explain herself.
"That's it? That's how you guys became friends?" Finn asked with a shocked look on his face.
"Seems like Santana is a little easy." Noah said with a smirk.
"I beg your pardon?" Rachel asked with a steely glint in her eye and a hard voice.
"Whoa there Berry. My bad, I wont make bad jokes. But you and Santana are seriously friends?" Puck held up his hands defensively.
"Oh my gosh Puck, why are you still on that? So what if Berry and Santana are friends!" Quinn snapped at the guy.
"Yes, maybe you should go find Santana and apologize for being an ass." Zizes said from behind Puck.
"Good idea. Now if you don't mind, I have classes." Rachel said in a haughty tone as she turned and walked out of the choir room.
The rest of the day was spent like any other day at McKinley. Rachel sat with Kurt and Mercedes at lunch and none of them were hit with any slushies until shortly after 5th period when Tina and Mike change were making out by Mikes locker. At the end of the day the Glee members all met back in the choir room to find out who there partners would be for the weeks assignment.
Santana was paired with Quinn and Artie was paired with Zizes. Brittany was to be Rachel's partner and Noah and Tina were matched together. Mike was paired with Sam while Finn was paired with Mercedes and Kurt was to be Mr. Shues partner.
After a lot of quiet grumbling from the people who didn't get paired with there girlfriends or boyfriends they all left to head home or to do what ever after school activities they so pleased. The rain had finally stopped and Rachel and Brittany walked together and talked about the assignment until Brittany got called back by Artie who had stopped at his locker for his book bag.
Rachel waved good-bye too the couple and then headed off to her own locker. Upon arrival Rachel was met with three of the football players, all of whom gave her scathing looks. With a heavy sigh Rachel steeled herself and moved to her locker, opening it without acknowledging the boys beside her.
"So Berry I have to wonder what its like to have to fags for dads." The shortest of the players asked snidely.
"Yeah Berry, which one is your dad anyways?" The same blonde from that morning asked with a laugh.
"Actually if you must know, I have no idea who my biological father is. I was a turkey baster baby and they mixed there sperm together before inseminating my mother." Rachel said with a cold voice as she closed her locker and finally turned to face them.
"I almost feel bad for you Berry, your mother didn't want you and you got stuck with two fags for parents." The shorter guy spoke again and his companions all jeered at the comment.
"That's funny, I almost feel bad for you too. All those knocks to the head from football have clearly not done you any favors." Rachel spoke sweetly.
"What did you say to me Berry?" The football player got in Rachel's face.
"I sure hope you don't intend to hit a girl." Coach Beiste was standing behind her players with a bemused looking Quinn Fabray at her shoulder.
"What? No Coach, we were just having a chat with Berry here. Weren't we Berry?" The blonde guy said turning about and refusing to meet Coach Beiste's eye.
"Sure. Now if you will excuse me, I have to get home." Rachel said haughtily stepping past the boys.
Coach let her go and Rachel smiled a little as Quinn fell into step beside her on the way out of the school buildings.
"Thanks Quinn, for getting Coach Beiste." Rachel said when they were finally outside.
"No problem. Would hate for that pretty face to get beat up." Quinn said and then scowled.
"Uh. Sure. I'll walk you to your car." Rachel said not commenting on Quinn's statement.
"Thanks." Quinn said with a little smile.
They walked in silence and then parted ways with a smile and a cheery 'see you tomorrow' once they made it to Quinn's car. Rachel walked home enjoying the smell in the air after it had rained for most of the day. Once at the house she went into the kitchen to get a snack before proceeding up stairs to do her home work.
Rachel was just getting done when her phone made a sound, alerting her to getting a text message. She reached over and grabbed the device and checked the message with a laugh once she read it.
Santana:
So if u r in2 chicks as well y cldnt I eva get you in2 bed with me?
Rachel frowned before she responded to the text.
Rachel:
You know I hate text speech. And you know i'm a virgin. I'm not about to jump into bed with someone unless I have romantic feelings towards them. I love you, but we are just friends.
Rachel was satisfied with her response and sent it before putting the phone down and going into the bathroom to clean her face and relieve herself. When she walked back out 10 minutes later her phone was flashing, indicating she had another text message.
Santana:
Deal with it. Well I love you too. Who do you have romantic feelings for? I could set you up!
Rachel considered this for a long moment before chuckling and walking down stairs while she thought about her response.
Rachel:
No thanks. It would be pointless anyways, I think i'm crushing on the one person most unlikely to reciprocate my feelings.
Rachel was satisfied that she had said enough to the Latina without giving away too much. She admitted to herself that she had a crush but telling someone else was not going to happen. Especially seeing as how she was positive that said person could never feel the same.
She made herself a small meal for her dinner as her dads were out on there date night and wouldn't be back until quite late. While she cooked she received another text from Santana and she was shocked enough that she had to read it twice before she comprehended that Santana was a little more cluey than she assumed.
Santana:
U r crushing on Q? No way. Since when?
Rachel stared at the message and then sat the phone down electing to ignore the message. She finished cooking her dinner and sat down at the table to eat. She was halfway through her dinner when there was a loud knock on the door. Rachel had neglected to lock it when she came home and smiled ruefully at herself when she heard the door open and a familiar voice call out to her.
"Berry, where the hell are you?" Santana called stepping into the house and closing the door behind her.
"Kitchen." Rachel called dejectedly.
Rachel as sitting there staring at the table in front of her when Santana stormed in and glared at her. Rachel tried hard to ignore the gaze and kept her eyes on the plate in front of her and pushed her fork through the food. Santana reached over and pulled the plate away from Rachel and took the fork from her before sitting down across from her friend.
"Come on Rachel. Why didn't you text me back, i'm right aren't I?" Santana's tone was softer now and Rachel looked up.
"Aw come on Santana. Its embarrassing. Its Quinn!" Rachel pouted which was quite unlike her.
"So you really have feelings for Quinn? Since when, she treated you worse than I did! She still isn't very nice to you since she got back with Finn." Santana took a bite of Rachel's food and then looked down at it to try and figure out what was in it.
"For a while to be honest and it isn't like I meant to develop feelings for her, it just sort of occurred to me one day that I do actually have feelings for her." Rachel frowned a little.
"Oh man that sucks. But she has been nicer to you lately, maybe she would date you?" Santana suggested with a hopeful smile.
"Don't get my hopes up. Besides I think she is only nicer to me because she got back with Finn. Its no big deal I will get over it eventually." Rachel smiled a little sadly at Santana who was still eating Rachel's dinner.
"You are depressing me. Have a little faith. Santana is on it." Santana said winningly.
"God Santana, please don't do anything." Rachel pleaded with a groan.
"I can be subtle. Quinn is one of my best friends. I can at least find out how she feels about you really." Santana said taking another bite.
"Subtle as a bag of bricks. Just do not tell her how I feel about her, that would be mortifying and I don't need her to have another reason to hate me." Rachel scowled fiercely.
"Yeah no problem. You can trust me." Santana said finishing off the food.
"Great. Well you are here now, you want to play a board game or watch a movie?" Rachel asked taking the dishes over to the sink and washing them.
"Sure, which ever you prefer. I have nothing going on this evening." Santana said getting a dish towel and drying the dishes as Rachel washed them.
"Great, lets play a game." Rachel smiled and walked into the lounge when they were done.
Santana followed her when she put the now clean and dry dishes away and they sat down and played an amusing game of scrabble. They were still playing when Rachel's dads got home and after a small amount of cajoling the two men joined them on the floor to play monopoly.
Santana was the first one to fall asleep then followed by LeRoy. Hiram smiled at the sleeping pair and then nudged Rachel who was studying the game board closely. Rachel looked up and smiled at her dad.
"I got hassled at school today about you and daddy again." Rachel said remembering the days events. "I also got accused of being a lesbian."
"Teenagers. Did we get called fags again?" Hiram asked with a sad smile.
"Yeah, the football team saw daddy drop me and San off at school. It was dumb really, their insults are quite childish." Rachel said with a chuckle.
"Yes well I hope you was nice about your comebacks." Hiram raised an eyebrow in question.
"I was which is more than I can say for your little champion over there. Santana really does love you and daddy." Rachel smiled at the sleeping Latina.
"We love her too to be honest. We was a little worried to begin with but she is a sweetheart, she is more than welcome here anytime." Hiram smiled warmly as his daughter before turning kind eyes on the sleeping girl.
"Yeah she is pretty great when she isn't being a royal bitch." Rachel chuckled.
"Yeah. So why was accused of being a lesbian?" Hiram asked returning to the earlier conversation.
"Oh. They noticed San was wearing one of my sweaters and when she explained why they instantly assumed it was cause we were having sex." Rachel frowned.
"That sounds mighty typical of teenage boys I suppose." Hiram said knowingly.
"You aren't wrong. Its kind of late. Would you mind carrying her up to my room?" Rachel asked gesturing to Santana.
"Course not." Hiram said getting up and scooping up the Latina gently and starting for the stares.
Rachel walked closely behind her dad and turned down the blankets on her bed before allowing the man to put the Latina down on the mattress. Hiram leaned over and kissed Santana on the forehead smiling when she smiled in her sleep. Hiram then bid Rachel goodnight and left her room going back downstairs to wake his husband. Rachel changed into her pajamas and brushed her teeth before sliding into the bed and going to sleep.
