Santana sighed as she checked the time which seemed to be going impossibly slow. She didn't hate her job, she actually kind of liked it. It's just that the day had consisted of freshman, or as Santana liked to call them, "noobs", signing up for classes. Everyone was surprised when she graduated from college and immediately decided to take on a job as a student adviser, and to continue living on campus. Quinn was especially disappointed, considering she and Santana were planning to open a dive bar in LA. The truth was that she only took the job because it guaranteed her a steady income and place to live. Besides, she isn't as cold-hearted as everyone thinks. She really wants to help the students pick the right classes that will benefit them in the future.

"Lopez, I'm sending a girl to you. It doesn't say it on her file, but she's got a few learning disabilities. Don't put her in anything too hard." Santana glanced up at the woman standing by her door. "Got it. Send her my way" Santana said while waving the woman away. Her attitude soured slightly thinking about what kind of student the girl probably was. Seeing as how it's the last week to register for classes, the girl was probably a procrastinator. Santana had nothing against anyone with a learning disability, she just wished they would come in earlier to get into classes that best suited them.

A soft knock on the door caused Santana to look up from her desk that she was organizing. At the door was a girl of probably 18, wearing a leather jacket, a black band t-shirt, and black boots. But what caught Santana's attention most of all was her obviously dyed blonde hair. Her dark roots were visible, and on any other person Santana would have thought it looked trashy, but it good on the girl. So good, in fact, that in any other situation she would probably try to flirt with her. But Santana knew that she probably shouldn't, seeing as how the girl most likely wasn't lesbian, and if she was, she probably had a girlfriend.

"You can sit down there" Santana said, pointing to a chair in front of her desk and grabbing the file that the girl offered her. "I'm Santana Lopez, and you are..?" Santana tried her best to come off as not being attracted to the girl, because it could scare her. "Danielle. But I prefer Dani" the girl informed her. "So why wait until the last minute to sign up?" Glancing through Dani's file, Santana wasn't surprised to see the girl had received meager grades all throughout high school, something typical of someone with learning disorders. "I barely got accepted, and I didn't know if I wanted to come at all. I figured I might as well though" Dani admitted, "But I don't really know what I want to major in."

Seeing how nervous the Dani seemed to be, Santana softened her expression and gave the girl a comforting smile. "That's okay. It isn't required that you declare your major yet, so I can just put you in the classes that everyone needs to graduate" Santana said while pulling up the class registration on her computer.

"You look really young to be working at a college" Dani nervously blurted out. Santana couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and laugh at Dani's comment. "I'll take that as a compliment. I'm 22, and I just graduated last semester. This was the first job I could find so I took it." She paused before continuing, not sure if what she wanted to say was the right thing. "Can I say something about you?" Dani nodded, giving her the go ahead. "You're the hottest girl I've seen in my entire life" Santana said confidentially. She smirked when she saw how Dani blushed at her words. "Thanks" the girl mumbled, suddenly becoming interested in her hands.

'Why did I just say that? She's probably freaking out! Plus, she's a student!' Santana mentally scolded herself while selecting classes for Dani to enroll in. While Santana did that, Dani took the time to get a good look at the woman on the other side of the desk. She was definitely attractive, but Dani figured she would never have a chance with her. Just because the Latina called her hot doesn't mean she's attracted to her. Besides, what would a college grad want to do with an 18, almost 19, freshman? Nothing, Dani assumed.

"Alright, I registered you for English I, Calculus, and Biology Lecture with Lab. I understand you have some learning disorders, so if you ever need any help you can always come to me. You can pick up your schedule at the front" Santana told Dani. Dani watched as she grabbed a card from the stack, writing something on it before handing it to her. "I'm not supposed to do this, but my cell is on the back. You can text me if you want." Was Dani imagining it, or was Santana flirting with her? Either way, Dani knows that she definitely felt sparks when her hand brushed against the older woman hand as she grabbed the card. "Oh, uh, thanks. Have a nice day" Dani told Santana as she walked out.

Santana couldn't help but stare after the the girl as she walked away. 'Did she feel those sparks too?' she wondered. She saw tons of students, but this girl, Dani, stood out. There was something incredibly special about her, and Santana wanted to tell someone. With that thought, she gathered up her things, rushing out of her office to go talk to Rachel.

"I'm so screwed!" Santana yelled out as she burst through the door to her apartment on campus. Rachel, her best friend and roommate, wasn't even phased by her friends sudden outburst. "What'd you do now? Insult some poor kid?" Rachel joked, not even looking away from the TV. "Worse. I gave one my cell number" Santana groaned. "What?! Why?!" Santana know how Rachel's undivided attention, which is exactly what she wanted. "She was so hot. And cute. I don't know. But she has some learning disabilities so really want to be able to help her when she needs it" she explained. Rachel started at her friend with a shocked expression, not knowing what to say. "Wow Santana. But I guess it's not wrong...I mean you're not a professor, just an adviser" Rachel eventually said, trying to make Santana feel better.

"True. But it just feels wrong" Santana grumbled. "What does she look like?" Rachel asked, wanting to know about the girl who had captivated her roomie. "Her name's Dani. Dyed blonde, but I think she's a natural brunette. Rocker style, brown eyes, and the most adorable chin" Santana said dreamily. "Did you just say adorable? Dani must be special" Rachel teased. "Shut it Hobbit. Snix is always ready to come out, so don't tempt me." Rachel just rolled her eyes, she's been around Santana long enough to not be scared of her fiery temper anymore. "So, this Dani. Could she replace Brittany?" Rachel asked tentatively, knowing it had taken Santana a long time to get over her ex. "I don't know. Maybe. I'm tired of one night stands though, so maybe she could actually be more. Well, if she wanted to" Santana said with a slight frown.

Rachel observed Santana, not knowing the right thing to say. She knew how hurt Santana had been about ending things with Brittany, but she really wanted her to move on. Brittany was no good for Santana, and Rachel knew it. "You gave her your number, right? If she's smart, she won't miss out on being with you" Rachel reassured Santana. "You're right. Let's go get some food so I don't spend all night wishing she would text me" Santana said with a smile.

Like it? Should I continue? I usually lurk and never post, but I'm also thinking about starting a Dantana and Faberry oneshot series, so if you have any prompts you can PM me :)
