Santana is walking the hallways early one Friday morning before class on the way to her locker thinking to herself.

*Santana POV*

It's finally senior year and everything is actually going pretty well. Brittany and I have never been better despite the possible slushy facial that happens randomly, but I can't help that. It's a shame that people still don't accept our relationship. I thought that after Dave came out things would get better, seeing as he was a jock but to my surprise, it didn't. He doesn't have any of the problems we do because he has status, and since Brittany and I aren't on the Cheerios anymore that still makes us a target for meat heads. I actually think they are madder at the fact that I'd rather be with a woman then any of them. They still hit on me and say ridiculously rude things when I turn them down.

Santana was pulled out of her own thoughts when two football players that it would be funny to spray silly string in her hair.

"What the fuck is your problem!"

"Nothing. Just felt like picking on a dyke before 1st period," one of the boys said, laughing at her while walking down the hall.

"Listen, thunder head! Do that again and I will endz you!"

"Oooh, look! The lesbian is angry! I'm so scared!" the boy replied sarcastically.

"You don't have any power anymore, carpet-muncher. What the hell are you going to do?"

Santana, now steaming at this point, goes running towards the two boys and gets stopped by the new transfer student.

"Ay, Jonas Brothas! Leave the young lady alone before we have a problem. Don't make me tell Mike about this little situation," she calmly said to the boys.

"Aite Alex, you got it. No need to do all of that," one of the boys said as they both turned around rushing to class.

She turned around to talk to the girl she just saved from a confrontation, but she had already darted down the hallway to the girls' bathroom. Alex pursued her and walked in right before the door closed.

"You okay?"

"This is the girls' room! What are you doing in here?"

"Well, seeing as I'm a girl, I think this is the only appropriate bathroom for me to use."

Santana stared at the "girl" for a while and realized she was serious. She was thrown off by the baggy pants, fitted hat, and men's graphic tee that the girl was wearing. Also the fact that her name was Alex didn't help her to decipher her gender either.

"Yeah I know, you don't have to say it. I look like a dude."

"Uhhh..why are you dressed like that?"

"You really have to ask?" Alex responded with serious confusion.

"I wouldn't have asked if I knew the answer," the brunette replied with her normal evil scowl and returned to cleaning out her hair.

"Here, let me help."

"I can do it myself!"

"Look, I was just trying to help. There is no reason for you to be all rude, but if you want to take all 1st period cleaning your hair, fine. I'll leave."

Alex turned to walk out the door and was stopped by the Latina's sudden outburst.

"You never answered my question."

"What?" Alex spun around a little confused.

"Why are you dressed like that?" Santana repeated.

"This is how studs dress," the dark hair girl replied with a simple shrug like that was a stupid question.

"A stud? What the hell is a stud?"

"Are you serious? Aren't you gay? You of all people should know what I'm talking about?"

"What does me being gay have to do with you dressing like you're Lil Wayne?" she said getting angry with the new girl for bringing up her sexual preference.

"Okay, calm down. No need to start an unneeded fight. I just thought that since we play for the same team you'd know that a stud is just a term used to call a lesbian who dresses like a guy."

A rather awkward silence took over the bathroom after the last statement as the brunette took in the information she had just gained. She looked over the other girl and was about to say something when the bell rang for class to start. The girls were startled and jumped like they were watching a horror movie and the killer just popped out of the bathroom stall.

"Uhh..I have to get to class," Alex said and quickly walked out of the bathroom.

Santana rushed after her but Alex had quickened her pace, running to her first class of the day and left Santana in standing alone in the hallway. She went to her math class but she couldn't focus on anything but encounter she had with the new girl. She had so many things running through her head during the rest of her classes before lunch came along. She wanted to know where this girl came from, why she was being so nice to her, and how did she make those jocks leave her alone like she was king of McKinley High. She also couldn't help thinking that the girl was pretty hot, even though she wasn't the average female she would go for, but all of those thoughts dissipated when she saw her favorite blonde walking towards her.

"Hey baby," Brittany said giving Santana a heated kiss.

"Mmm..hi babe. What was that for?"

"I haven't seen you all day and I missed your sweet lady kisses," she replied with a blinding smile that made Santana melt.

"Aw babe, I missed your kisses too. Now c'mon, let's go to lunch."

Santana kissed her girlfriend for a second time, this one lasting longer (acquiring a few stares) she then snaked her arm around Brittany's and began walking to the café. They walked arm and arm into the lunchroom and Brittany saw Rachel and the other glee club kids sitting at their normal table and she ran over to sit with them. Santana wasn't that hungry, but she decided she did want a soda, so she walked to the vending machine on the other side of the enormous room. While getting her normal green tea, she overheard some cheerleaders talking about the new girl at a nearby table.

"Did you hear Alex came back this year?"

"Yeah, I know. I haven't seen her since she moved freshmen year."

"I heard she's on the girls' varsity basketball team and she's captain."

"Yeah, she's like one of the top ten ranked high school players in the nation. She will definitely go to college somewhere on a scholarship."

Santana was interrupted from her eavesdropping when a person tapped her on her shoulder.

"Hey, are you done here? I kind of want to get my drink before lunch is over."

"Oh, hold your hor-" Santana was shocked when she turned around to see none other than Alex, the girl she had been thinking about all day.
