Author's note: so welcome to my first attempt to write a story. I hope it is not too horrible seeing as it is like 2am right now. I do have a little plot worked out in my head. Oh well I don't know what to say. I'm tired and well just enjoy...I hope.

It is a Quinntana story but I love pezberry friendship so if you aren't up for that you should maybe stop as long as you have the opportunity.

I am German so English is not my first language but I try to make it as pleasantly to read as possible.

~Santana's POV~

There are only three rules in my life:

Do NOT show ANY weaknesses whatever happens.

You and your friends're coming first. Don't bother with the others.

Don't fall in love.

So I've never had any problems doing just that. Now I'm in my senior year in high school and I'm looking forward to leave this bunch of losers and the hell that is Lima, Ohio,behind me.


I'm striding down the halls of William McKinley High School my Cheerio skirt swaying and shooting everyone who dares to look at me an evil glare. With fear in their eyes they back up. I have to grin and continue my way to my locker.

At my locker my best friend Rachel is already waiting for me. I smile and hug her from behind. She tenses at first but after seconds she relaxes and turns in my arms to look at me. "

"Hi, San. How are you doing today?" I still have my arms wrapped loosely around her waist when I answer. "I am very good today, Rachie. I must say my day has been very relaxing and informative. I have to tell you about my very interesting English class-" Rachel giggles and hits my arm.

"Very funny, Tana, but I must inform you that I do not talk like that." I raise my eyebrow. "Well, maybe a little bit."

I laugh but Rachel's expression changes from one moment to another so I turned around to see what's gotten her so upset.


People are backing off again. Just like they were two minutes ago when I was walking to my locker.

And then our eyes meet. Hazel eyes lock with my brown ones. Rachel huffs behind me, grabs my hand and interlaces our fingers.

"Don't do anything stupid again, Tana. The last time you two got into a fight, you got expelled." I growl at the memory. The bitch fluttered her eyelashes out of the principal's office and I got suspended for the rest of the week.

I turn towards Rachel again and nod. "OK, you're right. Let's get going. Can I walk you to class?" She grins and hums in approval.

I guess, I have kind of an unique relationship with Rachel. I mean, she can obviously be very annoying but I have never had a more considerate and caring friend. And over the time you get used to her little rants and all the typical 'Rachel-Berry-stuff'.

At first people thought we were dating or some shit like that but we are really not. I hate to say that but with Rachel Berry I have just the mushy touchy way of expressing my feelings. It's kind of weird if you think about it. Given that I have never wanted anyone to touch me but well... it's Rachel.


So after I left Rachel in front of her classroom I head to my own class. Thank God, it is my last class. After that I only have glee club left and then I can go home.

I walk into my Spanish class – I only take that for easy As- and sit down next to Noah Puckerman, called Puck by everybody.

"Lopez, you're late. Didn't want to talk to your bro, did ya?" I roll my eyes and look to the front of the classroom, quietly chuckling about Mr. Shue's failing attempt to speak Spanish. "Who wouldn't want to talk to the charming person that is you, Puck?" He grins. "Coming over tonight, San? I wanna test out my new xbox." I nod and begin to scribble on my paper waiting for the lesson to end.


After the bell finally rang I grabbed my books and head towards the door Puck next to me.

We talk about getting our game-night on while walking to glee club. If we had been asked a year ago we would have never even thought about joining Glee but now it is kind of the best part of the day and something we are really looking forward to.

Rachel is already sitting in her usual seat in the front left corner. I grin and take the seat next to her and Puck the seat next to me. Both don't know why I'm getting along so well with the respective other but usually I just ignore their questions. "Has anyone of you prepared a song for this week's assignment?" Puck and shake our head and Rachel sighs. She thinks I should be doing more for the club seeing as I have a 'very rare and exceptional voice' but I am honestly not willing to go all 'Rachel-Berry' on the glee club and forcing them to listen to every broadway song ever existent.


The room's getting more filled and Rachel, Puck and I talk about the horrible clothes that Tina Cohen-Chang is wearing. I mean, no wonder Figgins thinks she's a vampire. She looks fucking ridiculous.

Mr. Shue is as usual 10 minutes late. You would think since he left the classroom first he would be the first in glee club but no, Mr. wannabe VIP thinks he has to make a big entrance or whatever.

" Hello, Glee Club! Today we are welcoming a new member in our little team and do you know what that means?" Everybody just looks confused. Rach and I make eye contact and roll our eyes.

"We will have twelve members in glee club", we say in unison and hear a few 'Ah's and I just can't help but to roll my eyes again. Fucking idiots.

"You're right, Rachel." Douche ignored me. I have no freaking idea why he keeps ignoring me and shooting me glares. I mean, ok, maybe I have insulted him on a little more than one occasion and maybe I set his stupid purple piano on fire but I did apologize for that. Whatever.

I lean back and think about how hilarious it was when the piano bursted into flames.

"So please welcome Ms. Quinn Fabray." After hearing that name I sit straight up and look daggers into Shue's skull hoping it would magically explode and I would never have to see his curly butt-head again.


The one and only Quinn Fabray is moving from the door to the middle of the room and smiling her innocent angel-smile. But except Shue everyone knows the truth about the devil in disguise standing in front of us.

Rach is the first to stand up and walk towards Mr. Shue. She almost looks offended. I would find that funny if it weren't for the fact that Quinn is still here.

"I dearly hope that THAT is one of your not so funny jokes, Mr. Shue, because I can assure you that Quinn Fabray is not an appropriate member for our glee club. As you know, in this room it is about accepting people, how they are and me being the star that I am." I chuckle slightly at that. Even in her times of rage she manages it always to bring herself and her apparent awesomeness up.

"AND not about bullying people, tossing slushies at them and tearing them down with your cruel, CRUEL words. Or isn't it, Mr. Shuester?" He gulps, taken aback by Rachel's outburst.

I mentally note to congratulate her for her great performance after glee club.

"But as you see, Rachel, Santana over there is still here. So I am giving everyone the fair chance to let them show their talent and now sit down."

I prepare myself to go all Lima Heights on that sorry ass of a teacher but Puck puts an arm around my shoulder and squeezes it lightly, a sign to tell me to back off for now at least.

I sigh and nod my head. For now.

My eyes shift towards the figure in the middle of the room again. Looking at one innocent smiling Quinn Fabray.
