Disclaimer: If I owned Glee I would tell you..
The One and Only
I do not know how this happened but I, Rachel Barbara Berry, am dating the hottest Cheerio in school, Quinn Lucy Fabray. I guess you could say it all happened at the end of sophomore year.
~Flashback~
"Hey, Rachel, um…I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner…with me. Tonight at Breadstix?" Quinn asked. I closed my locker and looked at her with confusion.
"I'm sorry but I'll decline. I can deal with being utterly humiliated in school but I will not tolerate it in public. So, sorry Quinn and plus I have to meet Santana later on." I informed her.
"It's just that I've liked you for along time and I'm so sorry how I treated you, I was trying to hide these emotions by hurting you and bringing you down every chance I got," Quinn said with such sincerity in her eyes.
"Well you seem very sincere and sorry. So, you can pick me up around 7:30 pm sharp and don't be late, I don't tolerate tardiness, as you can tell by my perfect attendance since kindergarten," I said. Quinn chuckled.
"Okay, I promise it will be as perfect as you," Quinn said before kissing me on the cheek and walking away.
"Dinner was great, Quinn. I had a nice time," I said as we walked down up to my front door.
"Yeah, it was," She said shyly.
"Um...well this is my house," I chuckled. Quinn stepped closer.
"Yeah it is," She said licking her lips.
"Yeah," I said looking down at her lips. Quinn leaned in and kissed me on my cheek.
"I hope that was okay. I don't want you to feel compelled to…"
"Its okay, Quinn. I thought it's cute that you thought of me," I said blushing. My phone started to vibrate.
"Sorry, Its Santana, Thanks Quinn, tonight was magnificent." I said. I answered.
"Hey Santana, I was just on my way to-"
"It's too late," Is all she said before hanging up. What does she mean "It's too late?"
I tried to call her back but she wouldn't pick up.

Fast Forward to First day of Junior Year
Santana P.O.V
Back in this bullshit school of fuckery. Everyone parted like the Red Sea as I walked down the hall. I have to admit I miss sending fear down the spines of everyone here.
"Hey Santana, Who's the flowers for?" JBI asked showing his microphone and Camera in my face.
"Are they for Brittany S. Pierce?" He asked.
"If you don't get that camera out of my face, Imma give everyone that watches your stupid ass show a real close view of your colon, Got it?" I said sending him my best HBIC glare. He shuffled away, scared shitless. I walked determinedly towards Rachel's locker. As I got closer I saw something I thought I would never witness in a thousand years. What. The. Fuck? Quinn and Rachel? Quinn looked like she was eating Rachel's face off. Quinn opened her eyes and looked straight at me before breaking her, seemingly, passionate kiss with Rachel. Quinn smirked before whispering something in Rachel's ear. Rachel looked back and saw me standing there. I clenched the life out of the flowers in my hand. I just wanted too punch that smirk off of Quinn's face.
"Santana!" She yelled before running over to me and trying to hug me. I stopped her by holding my hand up. I closed my eyes and counted to ten before opening them again.
"What's wrong?" She looked at me with worry and then she looked at the flowers being crunched in my hand.
"Are those for me? White Lilies are my favorite," She said.
"No. These stupid ass flowers aren't for you. Do you know where Brittany is I need to talk to her," I said giving Quinn and icy stare. She just stood in front of Rachel's locker smiling, no not smiling; she was giving me a fucking smirk.
"No I haven't seen Brittany today." Rachel said. "We need to catch up. How about coffee at The Bean?"
"No, It's too late," I said before throwing those stupid flowers in the garbage can and walking away from a very confused Rachel.
Rachel's P.O.V
What does she mean by that? I thought as I entered the Choir room for the first glee practice of the new School year. I was usually the first person here but not today.
"Hey Santana. What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Obviously for Glee practice, Berry," She said, not even giving me eye contact. I flinched at her choice of words. As I sat down next to her, Santana got up and moved to sit at the piano.
"Okay, what's up with you Santana?" I asked daringly.
"Nothing that concerns you anymore, Berry," She said as she started playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, perfectly. I was entranced at her piano skills. I didn't say anything else, I just watched her focused on playing the song. She was playing someone else's song but it seemed like her own with how much emotion she was putting into it. Slowly, everyone quietly entered the room not wanting to disturb Santana. Everyone was surprised with Santana's piano skills. She finished the song perfectly like if she was Ludwig Van Beethoven herself. Kurt was the first one who starts clapping.
"Brava! Brava!" He said as everyone else started clapping.
"Wow, that was amazing Santana. Did you take piano lessons over the summer?" Mr. Shuester asked.
"No, I taught myself how to play piano," Santana said dejectedly.
"Well, you're brilliant. Okay, I wanna be the first one to say Welcome back New Directions! I wanna go straight into this week's assignment," He said walking over to the white board.
"Emotions?" Puck asked.
"What the hell does that mean?" Mercedes asked.
"I want you to sing a song that makes the audience feel certain ways. Sad, happy, angry, in love, and excited. Any emotion a song can make you feel." Mr. Shuester explained.
"Mr. Shuester can this assignment me done in a duet form?" I asked.
"Yes," Mr. Shuester answered. I clapped in excitement because I wanted to do a duet with Queen for the longest. Santana raised her hand. This is odd because if she needed to say something she usually just blurts it out.
"Um, Yes Santana?" Mr. Shuester asked suspiciously.
"Do you mind if I perform first tomorrow?" Santana asked timidly. This isn't a normal Santana behavior. Something is off with Santana.
"Usually Rachel is first to perform, you can ask Rachel if it's okay with her," Mr. Shuester said. I was too deep in thought to even notice everyone was staring at me. Quinn kissed me on the cheek and that brought me back to reality.
"Rachel is it okay with you?" Quinn asked.
"Okay with what?" I asked confused.
"If Santana could perform first tomorrow," Mercedes said like if it was obvious.
"Oh yes, I would be delighted to see Santana perform first tomorrow to start off the first Glee club assignment of the new school," I said happily.
"My babe is a team player," Quinn said before engulfing me into a very passionate and very public kiss.
~Santana P.O.V
Fuck Quinn. Fuck Glee club. Fuck school. Fuck this stupid ass coffee that isn't even good. I let out a very frustrated huff as I continued to sip my coffee and mentally kill everyone in The Bean. Nothing gold can stay. I chuckled I said that line over and over again in my head. Nothing gold can stay.
"Santana!" An oddly annoying but very cheery voice shouted across The Bean pulling me from thought. Rachel ran over to where I was sitting and pulled me into a bone crushing hug.
"Hi Rachel," I said sitting back and continuing to sip my coffee.
"Hello Santana, long time no see," Rachel said in her usual cheery voice.
"Yea," I said disinterested into starting a conversation with Rachel today or even ever.
"Why weren't you here for the last two weeks of sophomore year?" Rachel asked sipping on her green tea.
"Look Berry, I didn't come here to tell you my whole fucking life story. I came here to relax and drink some shitty scolding hot coffee, okay?" I said in a very pissed off tone.
"I'm sorry but I don't know what I did to get you in this disposition," Rachel said.
"You were born," I didn't mean to say it, it just slipped out. I got up to leave.
"I'm appalled by your attitude Santana. I expected more of you, I knew Quinn was right…I can't be everyone's friend or make everyone like me," Rachel said. I clenched my fist when she mentioned Quinn's name. I spun around and faced Rachel.
"Look Rachel, Nothing Gold Can Stay," And at that I left The Bean counting to ten trying to calm myself down before I do something irrational.
