Brittany hopped into the passenger seat of her older brothers truck. Today is Brittany's first day at McKinley High School where she is starting her tenth grade year and also where Brittany's brother Lucas is starting his senior year.

"Ready Britt?" Lucas's deep voiced boomed finally joining his sister in his truck.

"As ready as I'm ever going to be" Brittany mumbled

"Everything is going to go great" said Lucas " If you need anything just come and find me"

Brittany nodded and gave her older brother a small smile as they pulled out of the driveway.

Brittany had two brothers, Lucas who turned 18 over the summer, Lucas is very athletic, he is 6'1 and he like all the Pierces have blonde hair and blue eyes, He lets his blonde hair fall over his forehead and Liam who is 3 and just entering preschool, has short blonde hair and usually stays close to one of his siblings. Brittany is 16 and she loves to dance and sing. Brittany like her older brother were popular back at their old school, she was a cheerleader and he was the star football player.

"Do you think Liam is going to be okay?" Brittany asked

"Yeah I do, Aunt Holly is going to handle everything, it's fine." Lucas said looking over to his younger sister.

"I know, it's just been awhile since he has been away from us for a long period of time" The dancer said which Lucas just nodded as a reply.

But to be fair it had been awhile since any of them have been apart from each other, They pretty much spent the whole summer glued to each other.

Before Brittany knew it they were pulling into the schools parking lot. She noticed that the school was smaller than her old one.

Brittany got out of the truck and slowly made her way through the double doors with Lucas at her side.

As the siblings set foot in the building they could feel the other students looking at them, like it was crazy that they had new students.

Lucas grabbed Brittanys arm, lightly pulling her to the office.

"We are here to get our schedules" Lucas said as the walked up the receptionist

"Names?" She said not looking away from her computer where it looked like she was playing candy crush.

"Brittany and Lucas Pierce" Brittany said a little loud in hope to grab her attention away from screen, but she had no such luck.

"Have a seat" She said sounding almost robot like.

Brittany looked at Lucas who just shrugged and a took a seat and gesturing Brittany to sit down in the chair next to him which she did.

After 20 minutes of waiting, the receptionist finally looked away from her game looking at the siblings before say "Principle Figgins will see you now" gesturing to his office door.


Finally getting their Schedules, they made there way to their lockers realizing that their lockers where on oppistite sides of the school.

Brittany gave a Lucas a small hug saying that she would see him at lunch, before making her way through the now empty hallway.

After serval attempts in opening her locker she gave up and went to first which was History with Mr. Brown.

All eyes were on Brittany as she entered the class room but she decide to ignore the looks, she showed the teacher her schedule.

"Why don't you have a seat next to Noah" Mr. Brown said

Brittany looked around the room before she a boy with a Mohawk waving his hand at her.

As Brittany sat down next to her the Mohawked boy he reached his hand out for Brittany to shake which she did "I'm Noah Puckerman but you can call me Puck" he said with a small smirk Brittany just nodded and faced forward.

"Who might you be?" He asked after realizing she didn't plan on introducing her self.

"Brittany Pierce" She stated

"Where are you from Brittany Pierce?" Puck asked

Before the blonde the blonde could answer the bell rang signaling class was already over.

"Hmm I guess now you'll never know" The blonde said gathering her stuff and making her way to her second period which was Freshman math. She had to take it again because she failed it last year.

"Brittany!" Someone shouted down the hall

Brittany turned around to see her Aunt Holly who was a teacher here waving her over.

"Hey" Brittany greeted as she made her way closer to the older blonde women giving Her a hug.

"How is it going to far?" Holly questioned Breaking the hug.

"Fine, I guess" Brittany sighed

"Brittany, I know it's hard for you but give this place a chance" Holly said resting hand on Brittany shoulder

The blonde nodded and gave her aunt a small smile

"How was Liam this morning?" The younger blonde asked

Holly sighed "He was a little upset but by the time I left he seemed good"

Brittany nodded

"Well, you better get to class... I have a spanish class to teach anyway" Holly laughed

Brittany scrunched her eyebrow "Wait, I thought you taught History" The blonde said a smile growing out of curiosity.

"I'm filling in" The older blonde said "Now get to class" She added almost mocking her authority.

Brittany nodded and gave Holly another hug and tried her best to find her second period.

The second period bell had already rung and Brittany still hadn't found her class even with the map she had.

The blonde was staring down at her map when she heard a raspy voice ask "Need some help?" Brittany looked up to the girl that was offering her help and Brittany's mouth hung slightly open at the sight of the girl in front her, she was wearing a cheerleading uniform with her hair tied up in a high pony, but Brittany was hypnotize by this girl's eyes and beautiful tan skin, this girl was absoultly gorgeous.

"Hello?" The brown eyed girl said grabbing the blondes attention again

Brittany just nodded hoping that the girl would understand that this meant she need helped.

The girl gave her a slight chuckle causing Brittany's knees to go a little weak

"Where are you headed?" The girl asked

"Ms. White" Briitany finally spoke out mentally slapping her self at how ridiculous she was being.

"Ah, Okay follow me"

The girls walked in silence until the Latina got Brittany to her class.

"Thanks for the help" Brittany said giving the other girl a small smile

The Cheerleader just smiled back and nodded as she watched the girl make her way into class.


Finally lunch... Brittany looked around the cafteria looking around for her brother and jumped when she felt someone poke her in her sides where she very ticklish and turned around to see her brother laughing.

Brittany smacked Lucas in the head then giving him a smile.

they where interupeted when a small brunette girl walked up with a guy who was no shorter than a giant.

"Hey Lucas" the small girl greet before looking over at the other blonde "You must be Brittany" she said with a big smile reaching her hand out to Brittany which she accepted "I'm Rachel and this is my boyfriend Finn" She said pointing the tall boy next to her, when Brittany looked over at Finn she waved at him which he returned with a big goofy smile.

"Why don't you guys come sit with us?" Rachel offered pointing to a table where the only person she recognized what Puck from her history class.

"I actually I have to go talk to the football coach" Lucas said "But Brittany go head"

"Okay" Briitany said gesture Rachel and Finn to lead the way

when arriving at the table Rachel introduced Brittany to everyone and Brittany took the empty seat next to Puck.

"Good to see you again blondie" Puck said playfully nudging Brittany's shoulder the girl laughed at the nickname.

"Did you forget my name already Noah Puckerman?" Brittany joked

"Don't flatter your self Brittany Pierce" Puck shot back with a Challenging smile.

"I'm sorry i didn't realize girls found it flattering when you forget their name" the blonde said her smile growing a little bigger

"Touché...I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship Pierce" Puck smiled as he took a bite on his sandwich.

"If you say so" Brittany replied letting her eyes roam around the cafeteria searching for a certain Latina then her eyes landed on the table full of cheerleaders which is where she saw the brown eyed girl sitting.

"Who is that?" Brittany asked Puck as she pointed to the girl across the cafeteria

"Well that, is the one and only Santana Lopez" Puck explained "She's a senior but also head cheerio"

"What the hell is a cheerio?" Brittany asked scrunching her eyebrows in confusion

The boy laughed "it's what the cheerleaders are called here"

Brittany made a 'o' shape with her mouth

"I heard that you dance maybe you should try out" Puck suggested

"Maybe" Brittany shrugged "Wait...how did you know I dance?"

"Your Brother may have mentioned it Rachel who then mentioned it to everyone else" the mohwawked boy explained.

"Why does Rachel care?"

"Well, the people you are currently sitting with are in glee" Puck said "Santana and Quinn are in it too. Quinn is second in command to Santana she is a senior too."

"Their are Cheerios in glee?" Brittany asked

"Yep, Jocks too. Finn, Mike, Sam and Me are all on the team"

"Well then your popular why aren't you sitting with the popular people?" Brittany asked

"Cause these are my real friends" Puck said pointing around the stable

Brittany smiled at Puck for his honesty and patted him on the back.

"So Mike, Sam, and you are all in tenth grade?" Brittany asked

"That'd be correct Blondie, and Blaine and Tina are juniors but everyone else is a senior" Puck explains

Brittany and Puck talk the rest of lunch and by the time the bell rings Brittany starts thinks Puck is right this is the start to a beautiful relationship.


"Oh Brittany I'm glad I caught up to you" Rachel said as she walked up the blonde at her locker which she still hasnt managed to open.

"Hey Rachel" Brittany said turning to face the much smaller girl

"So I couldn't help but over hear that you are thinking about joining glee and may I just say, I think you'd be a great addition to the new directions of course you'd have to audition but I'm sure it won't be a big deal..." Rachel kept rambling on about glee for like 10 more minutes or least it felt that way.

"Okay" Brittany interupeted "We will talk about this later but I really need to go"

Rachel just nodded and watched the blonde walking quickly through the hallway.

Brittany made her way the truck seeing that Lucas was waiting for her

"Rachel was talking my ear off" Brittany sighed as she buckled her self in "Why'd you have to tell her that I dance and sing?"

"Well because you do" Lucas said as the pulled out of the school

Lucas and Brittany pulled up to the preschool where their little brother has been all day surprising him by picking him up.

"He is going to be so excited" Brittany smiled as they made her way to the front of the school

"Just because I came too" Lucas said with a small smile on his lips

"Yeah, if you say so" Brittany laughed

After they signed in a lady directed them to Liam's classroom

As soon as they walked through the door Liam saw them and jumped up and ran as fast as his little legs would allow him to them with his arms out waiting to picked up Brittany squatted down and held out her arms for her little brother, as soon as liam was close enough he jumped up into her arms.

"Britt" he said giving Brittany a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey little man, you doing okay?" She asked after setting him down but still at eye level with the three year old.

Liam nodded excitedly and then looked to Lucas and grabbed his and led him further into the room to a wall of cubbies "This is my cubby" he said point to a blue one with his name of it

"Hello I'm Ms. Kenton and you are?" Said a lady probably in her mid-twenties apporaching Brittany

"I'm Liam's older sister Brittany"

"Oh it's nice to meet you, Liam talked about you and Lucas all day today" Ms. Keaton said grinning

"Was he good today?" Brittany asked raising her eyebrows

"Yes, I think he'll fit in here nicely" She said with a warm smile

"that's good to hear" Brittany said looking back over to her brothers


After they get home Brittany helps Holly cook her famous homemade sauce.

"Are you thinking about do some after school activities?" Holly asked as she moved a few bowls to the sink.

"I've been thinking about it... Maybe Cheerleading, Glee or Both" Brittany said shrugging her shoulders the truth is Brittany hadn't really thought of becoming a cheerleader again but suddenly after finding out Santana was in it made her want to join.

"Sounds fun just don't over do it" Holly said "But I think you should definely do glee those kids are awesome"

Brittany just hummed in response.

When Brittany went to sleep that night her last thought ended being of Santana.


"Finally!" Brittany said a little to loudly causing some people to look her direction, but she finally got her locker to open so she no longer have to carry around her books.

Brittany looked over and saw Santana walking down the the made brief eye contact before Santana's back was facing her as she continued down the hallway.

During lunch Brittany sat with the glee kids again talking about random stuff so Brittany wasn't really listening she kept get distracted by Santana who was again sitting with the cheerleaders.

"How come Santana and Quinn don't sit over here?" Brittany asked Mike

"I don't know its a Cheerios thing" Mike said

"Well, if I make the team I'll still sit with you" Brittany said

"I'm going to hold you to that" Mike said with a smile the blonde girl just gave a small laugh shaking her head in amusement.


Walking to her last period she stopped by a bulletin board where you can sign up for clubs or sports.

After thinking about it Brittany signed her name under Cheerios for tryouts she looked over to the glee sign up sheet before continuing on to her last period of the day.

"Aunt Holly I'm going to be late tonight so I'll feed my self" Brittany said as she walked into Holly's class room.

"Do you need a ride home?" Holly asked

"Actually I'm fine with walking but thanks" Brittany rushed out and then waved goodbye making her way to the gym

After changing into black spandex shorts and a baby blue tank top Brittany walked into the gym hearing loud music, the further she walked into the gym her eyes immediately fell to the head cheerio who was looking a the current performer.

After the music stopped Santana stood up and walked over to the girl like she was disgusted.

"Let me just start by saying that that was absolutely horrific" Santana paused a moment before starting again "My eyes are literally burning from that performance if you can even call it that...You can go"

Brittany watched as the girl ran out crying, suddenly Brittany wasn't so sure that she wanted to be here.

"Next!" Santana shouted taking her seat next to Quinn.

Brittany looked around noticing she was the only one left, so she slowly made her way to the middle of the gym.

"Name?" Quinn asked looking up at the blonde with almost absmile

"Brittany Pierce" The younger girl answered

Santana looked up from her paper at the familiar voice and smile creeped onto her lips as she mad eye contact with the blue eyed girl but as fast as the smile was there it ws gone, But Brittany caught the smile and this only made her more nervous.

"You can start when ever your ready" Quinn said starting the music.

Brittany took a deep breathe before starting her routine, Brittany danced effortlessly through to the song.

To say that Santana and Quinn were stunned by the young blondes dancing skills would be a understatement.

Brittany finished her dance with a flip landing perfectly, she looked up to see Santana whispering in Quinn's ear before both girls got up and made they're way to the middle of the gym.

Brittany bounced on the balls of her feet nervously as she watched the cheerleaders approach her.

"You were incredible Brittany" Quinn said with a big smile Brittany looked over at Santana and saw her also with a smile

The dancer could feel her face getting hot.

"Welcome to the team Brittany" Santana said

Brittany was so exicted that she leaped forward and gave Santana a big bear hug and it wasn't until she realized who she was hugging did she let go.

"I'm so sorry" Brittany said taking steps away from The head cheerio

Brittany looked over to a chuckling Quinn then back to Santana who just looked surprised, Santana elbowed Quinn signaling her to shut up before speaking "Brittany, it's fine don't worry about it" the latina paused "I know people think I'm a bitch but Im really not...expect at practice sometimes"

Brittany just nodded

"Quinn why don't you get the girls to clean up here and I'll take Brittany to get her uniform" Santana suggested

Quinn nodded and made her way back to the other cheerleaders.

"Follow me" Santana said making her way out of the gym

Brittany followed closely behind Santana until they reached what looked like to be any office where Santana knocked before entering

Brittany saw a older looking lady sitting at a desk wearing a tracksuit drinking some that looks like someone just threw up.

"We have our new cheerleader" Santana said causing the women to look up.

After looking Brittany up and down she says "Well done sandbags"

Brittany looks at Santana curiously

"Brittany, This is Sue the coach of the Cheerios" Santana explained after seeing the blondes curious face.

"Nice to meet" Brittany directed towards Sue

"Try not to be a disappointment Brittany" Sue said in a return

Brittany was a little stunned by Sue's harshness when she looked over to Santana with her mouth hanging open but the head cheerio just gave her a look saying go with it and with that Brittany turned her back to Sue and Simply nodded her head.

Sue got up from her desk and walked over to her closet where she pulled out a new cherrios uniform and handed it to Brittany saying that she had to wear in everyday with a high pony or she will make her run so much that she will cough up blood.

As soon as they left Sue's office Brittah turned to Santana and asked with a little bit of fear "Was she serious about making me cough up blood?"

Santana laughed at the young blonde "I've only ever since it happen once"

Brittany's eyes widen causing Santana to laugh harder

"You'll be fine Brittany..,.I'm going to make sure of that I promise" Santana said giving the blonde a reassuring smile.

Brittany felt her stomach doing flips at the way Santana was smiling at her and all Brittany could muster up for a response was "Cool"

Earning another small laugh from Santana

"I'll see you around Brittany" Santana said turning and walking in the opposite direction


After Brittany starts walking home she realizes that it beginning to get dark and looked as though it was going to rain soon, she pulls out her phone to check the time before putting it back into her pocket.

Brittany walked for five more minutes before feeling a drop on water hit her nose and with that drop many more followed

Then Brittany heard a car pull up next to her but she just kept her head forward ignoring who ever the hell it was.

"Brittany" A voice shouted out of the car

Brittany stopped in her tracks at the familiar voice as she turned her she saw Santana in a black Range Rover.

"Hey" Brittany said as she approached the now stopped car

"Do you want a ride?" The latina asked

Brittany thought about before saying "If you don't mind?"

Santana smiled "Not at all"

Brittany walked around to the passenger side and slid into the car buckling up and then giving Santana directions.

"Do you need to be home right away?" Santana asked looking over to the blonde in her passenger seat

"No" Brittany said "Why?"

"Well since your new to Lima and the Cheerios I thought I'd show you the best restaurant in the joint" Santana said with a grin

"Which is?" Brittany asked with a smile

"Breadsticks"


"Wow these breadsticks are amazing" Brittany moaned as she stuffed more of the bread into her mouth

"I know!" Santana exclaimed

"Thank for saving me from the rain" Brittany said playing with her hands.

After ordering they're food and more breadsticks Santana asked "So, where did you move from?"

Brittany let out a soft sigh before answering the girl "California"

Santana showing her interest asked "Oh yeah? Did you like living there?"

"Yeah it defiently had its moments" Brittany replied "What about you? Have you lived here your whole life?"

"unfortunately" Santana said with annoyed look

"I don't know this place doesn't seem to bad" Brittany replied

"Your only saying that because you just moved here" Santana said with a small laugh

their conversation didn't go any further because the waiter brought out their food, Brittany ordered shrimp and Santana ordered pasta.

"Do you have a boyfriend that you left in California?" Santana asked raising her eyebrows

Brittany shook her head no "You?"

"Well I don't have a boyfriend in California but I do have one in North Carolina" Sanatana said

Brittany felt her stomach drop at the sound of the Latina having a boyfriend.

"North Carolina?" Brittany asked wiping her face with her napkin

"Yeah that's where he goes to college" Santna explained "He actual is just turning 19"

Brittany nodded her head and before she could say anything else Santana said "We need to find you a boyfriend"

Brittany looked up to Santana her eyes a little wide "Thanks but no thanks"'

Brittany let out a few coughs before Santna asked "Are you okay?"

The blonde again just nodded.

"I want to return you to your parents in one piece" Santana joked

"You won't have to worry about that" Brittany mumbled looking down to her

"what?" Santana asked not hearing what the blonde said

"Dont worry about it" Brittany said giving Santana a tight lipped smile

Sensing Brittany didn't want to talk about Santana dropped it and Started taking about the Cheerios and after these waitor came with the check and Brittany and Santana fighting over who was going to pay but Santana ultimately won the battle.

Santana pulled up to Brittanys house after a somewhat quiet ride over

"Thanks again for dinner Santana" Brittany smiled as she got out of the car

"Your welcome, I'll see you tomorrow" Santana said

Santana waited for Brittany to get into her house before pulling away and making her way home.

Brittany was greeted by Liam at the door "Aren't you suppose to be asleep?"

Liam nodded his head sleeply

"Then why are you awake?" Brittany asked with a small laugh picking him up off the ground

"I wanted to wait for you" Liam said yawning then resting his head on Brittany's shoulder.

"Well, how about we get you to bed?" Brittany said making her way up the steps

"Can I sleep with you?" Liam asked softly

"Of course you can" Brittany said making her way to her room laying down the little boy on her Queen size where he almost immediately fell asleep, Brittany quickly changed into shorts and a big shirt before making her way into the kitchen to get a bottle of water where she ran into Lucas.

"Hey" the both said as the younger blonde came into the room.

"So guess what?" Brittany said jumping up on to the counter opening up her water

"What?" Lucas asked putting is plate in the sink.

"I made the Cheerleading squad" Brittany said excitedly

Lucas broke into a huge smile before giving his sister and big hug "Congrats" he said breaking the hug "Now I just have to make the football team"

"Please there is no way you won't" Brittany said patting her brother on the back

They talked for a few more minutes before Brittany went back up stairs to her room where she made sure Liam was tucked in then getting in bed with him and as soon as she laid down Liam curled in to Brittany's side.

As Brittany lays in bed the Latina consumes her thoughts once again.
