This story is dedicated to Eraygoza, she gave me the idea for this story and has been super helpful helping me plan it out. Hope you like it:)

Santana's POV-

"Santana are you playing?" Amy called. She was one of the other eleven members on the McKinley girls soccer team.

"Yeah, sorry." I got up from the bench and chugged down the rest of the cherry gatorade I had been nursing. My gaze was once again fixed on the head cheerio, Quinn Fabray in cheerios practice across the field.

"Get your head in the game Lopez. Practices are just as important as a game." Coach Renolds called. She was like a scarier, less manly version of coach Beiste.

"Got it coach." I rolled up my shorts so they looked shorter and you could see the black short leggings I wore as underarmer. My sleeves were rolled and tied to look like a tank top and I was ready. I was goalie so I ran to my post and got ready.

Amy and Mel started running down towards the other side so I knew I wouldnt have to do much blocking. I glanced back toward the other end of the field again to Quinn. Sure, I knew I had no chance but it was a dream. My mouth watered as she did an amazing split. Her best friends Brittany S. Pierce, and Rachel Berry were close by also in uniform.

"Look out!" I heard Amy call but it was too late. I turned just for the ball to smack me in the face. It connected with my nose and I immidently felt all the blood rush.

"Sombody get her to a nurse." Coach Renolds called. Amy and Lindsey rushed to my side with a towel and walked me inside towards the nurse.

"Sorry guys, Ive just been really distracted today." I smiled hoping they wouldnt be angry.

"Ha. You've been distracted all week, whats up with you?" Lindsay asked letting down her blonde hair. She had a few freckles over her nose and usually wore glasses.

"Its because of Quinn again right?" Amy asked annoyed. I always knew Amy had a crush on me and I thought she was pretty, but she couldnt compare to Quinn Fabray.

"Yeah, whats your deal with her?" Lindsey asked curiously.

"I just like her, Im not sure why since she'll never like me back but I cant explain it." I shrugged. They dropped me off at the office before heading back to practice. I got to the nurse and she told me to sit on one of the beds while she signed Rachel Berry a pass to be excused from gym.

"But dear, your on the cheerios. Why do you need this note?" The nurse asked confused.

"Coach Sue said all the cheerios need to be in top shape for practice and gym is for fat kids." Rachel shrugged.

Nurse Maloney rolled her eyes but signed the note. Rachel took it and flipped her hair causing her backpack to move quickly and a pen fell out. I picked it up before she even knew it was gone.

"Rachel, you dropped this." I smiled handing out the pencil and one hand holding the towel to my nose.

"Are you talking to me?" She asked snipply.

"Yeah, this fell out of your bag."

"Eww, I dont want it back now that you've gotten your jock germs on it. Keep it." Rachel said huffing.

"Ready babe?" Noah Puckerman said walking into the office. He and Rachel had been dating for the past year and a half. The same amount of time I hadnt been able to talk to him in school.

"Yes Noah." She leaned on her toes to kiss him almost as a haha you cant have him. I always thought it was funny when she did that since I was a lesbian but still...

"You okay Santana? That looks bad." Puck looked at my nose.

"Just a little soccer accident. Nothing to worry about."

"Noah, dont talk to her! Lets go!" Rachel moaned pulling his hand and leading them out of the Nurses office.

Nurse Maloney came back a minute later with ice and looked at my nose.

"Luckily you didnt break it, keep ice on it for the rest of the day and try to keep the ball away from your face. Another blow like that and it will definetly break or at least fracture." She frowned.

I headed back to the locker room to change since I couldnt play. I put on a pair of jeans, a black button up and some Nikeys. I wasnt the most fashionable person but I was comfortable.

"Oh Tana, are you alright? Amy said you got hit pretty badly." Tina asked rushing into the locker room with Mercedes. I removed the ice and they both winced. My nose had already started to bruise.

"I'll be fine but I have to sit out practice for the next few days." I frowned, soccer was literally my life.

"Well join glee club then, it was so fun you stepped in last time." Tina smiled.

"I dont know..."

"Quinn just joined with Brittany since Rachel got Noah and Finn and Sam to join last week. They start tomorrow, will you please come we only need one more member." Mercedes begged.

"I'll think about it." I allowed.

"Yay." Tina and Mercedes hugged me. They knew me thinking about it was really a yes.

Little did I know joining glee club would change my life forever.
