Opposites Collide

The Announcement

Brittany's POV:

We were only 2 weeks into the new school year, and I already wanted it to be over. When they tell you high school is bad, it's an understatement. I'd rather have my hairs individually plucked out of my head than sit in a classroom with my classmates, especially Santana Lopez. I truly don't believe there is a worse human being on this planet than her. Now, I do not hate easily, I'm not saying I enjoy everyone's company but I can tolerate most, Santana is one of the most, if not the most, insufferable person in McKinley High. Even the Puck-Heads are more likeable and that's saying something.

As I waited in the parking lot for Mercedes, I observed the people around me. A couple of Freshman's had already complimented me on my outfit, one had even try to hit on me. I made it quite clear he was not my type, if you know what I mean.

I had my eye focused on Finn and Rachel, they seemed to be in somewhat of an argument. I could only hear parts of their conversation but I gathered that Rachel was ending things. Usually she's obsessed with him, but lately she's not been so into it. Perhaps she fancied someone else. As I tried to read their lips, someone bumped my shoulder and I fell back into the wall. When I turned around to see who it was, I was not surprised to be met with the she-devil herself.

"Watch it, Pierce" She said as she flashed me a look and then continued walking with Quinn. Her black ponytail dancing in the wind.

"Fuck off, Lopez" I replied as she entered the building, I'm not quite sure she heard me. But Quinn definitely did, as I was met with a cold hard stare from the blue-eyed cheerleader.

As I turned my head back around, I could finally spot Mercedes, she was with Sam. They hadn't been dating for long but they were the cutest couple I think I've ever seen. They always had each-other's backs.

"Over here, M!" I shouted across the parking lot as I waited for her and Sam to walk over.

Once they reached me, Sam placed a kiss on Mercedes' cheek and jogged off to join the other titans, I could see the instant joy spread across her face.

"As happy as you are, if we don't hurry up we're going to be late to Mr Schue's lesson" As soon as the words came out my mouth, Mercedes' face dropped.

"Shit, Brittany I forgot to tell you," She began to say, this wasn't good "I transferred out his class"

"WHAT" I shrieked, I got a couple of looks but I didn't care "You're the only one that sits between me and Santana"

She gave me a guilty 'I'm sorry' look as she walked past me into the school.

Santana's POV:

As Quinn and I walked into the classroom, I noticed something odd. The ditz that was Brittany Pierce was sat in the seat next to mine, that's not her seat.

"Move, Pierce" I demanded as I got to my seat and set my books down on the table "That's Porsche's seat"

"Her names Mercedes" She countered back, she always had something to say "And she transferred, so here I am"

This day could surely not get any worse.

"Good morning, everyone!" Mr Schue announced from the front of the class "I have exciting news"

I highly doubt that. He has exciting news every other day but most often it was him inviting us to see one the Glee club performances. Me and Quinn often go anyway, to watch them embarrass themselves up on the stage. At least that's why I think we go, but recently Quinn's been admiring them more than mocking them. She even tells me off when I make fun of Pinocchio, the berry girl. But I think Quinn is in her "Nice" phase which never usually lasts long.

"You all will have a project, for the rest of the term"

One project? In Spanish? Easy. I was going to Ace this term.

"You will be doing it in partners," Mine and Quinn's eyes met " However I will be choosing them"

Oh no.

"Your partners will be based on the grade average, lowest goes with highest etc." He blabbered on about how it would be equal, me and Quinn still had a chance she definitely had the lowest grade average and I was sure I had the highest.

"So first pair," The class sat silent with anticipation "Ms. Fabray and... Ms. Berry"

My eyes dart to Quinn but she doesn't seem very upset, in fact she seems excited, she quickly picks up her books and sits next to Rachel. Surely I'm next, so who's second last?

"Pair number 2, Ms Lopez and..." As he cleared his throat I looked around the classroom to see if I liked anyone, maybe Noah? But apart from him this pair would be terrible "... Ms. Pierce"

You have got to be kidding me. There is no way in hell, I am doing a term long project with airhead over here.

I look at her but she hasn't even taken her head off the table yet, but she definitely heard because a loud sigh comes from her. What the hell was she sighing for? I'm great at Spanish, her on the other hand, clearly not.

In case you were wondering, I hated Brittany Pierce for 2 reasons:

Reason 1: She was in the Cheerios team freshman year and became Coach's favourite. So when she decided to quit the team for her little dance club outside of school, Coach decided it was all our fault and made us practice 10x harder than the already draining exercise we were doing.

Reason 2: I don't like Brittany Pierce. I despise her. But I don't lie. Brittany Pierce is not ugly, she does not lack in the looks department. With her beautiful blonde hair and her light blue eyes, she is pretty. However, her personality is what I don't like. She's too nice. Not to me. But to everyone else, everyone is always talking about how sweet and kind she is. I know it's fake, but no else believes me.

If I am stuck with her for a whole term, one of us will end up dead, or worse.
