Victim (Glee)

8. Notebook

I woke up in the middle of the night. It felt like I heard something from outside. I got up and looked out but found nothing but parked cars, an empty way and the wind swaying, making the leaves dance. I felt a bit scared, like someone was watching me. I picked up my phone and it was nothing, it wasn't the phone that made a noise. I left it and convinced myself that I was imagining things. I walked over to the kitchen and poured me a glass of water. I drank the whole glass without any hesitation and walked back to my room. I lied on the bed and immediately fell asleep.

 The next morning was rushed and I was ready for school in less than 15 minutes. My mother drove me there and I walked out of the car, waved at her and headed to P.E, where Tina agreed to meet me. Finally, I talked her into always coming to P.E. I didn't really like being there alone. When I reached the locker room and got ready to change my clothes, no one was there. Only then did I realize that Tina decided not to show up anyway. I changed into the clothes I was going to wear and put my bag in the locker and locked it. Two minutes after I was done, the door opened and I hoped it would be Tina but I was wrong. It wasn't her. It was the last person I wanted to see right now, the person who actually made me very uncomfortable at this moment. Brittany. I quickly picked my bottle of water and went to the sink to fill it up. I could hear Brittany moving, unlocking the locker, taking her clothes of and letting out small exhales. It annoyed me so much that she didn't even mention it, she acted like she never actually confessed that she had feelings for me through text last night. I jumped to that conclusion, it had to be her. When the water bottle was filled, I took it and walked towards the door.

"Hey"

I turned around to face the person who placed her hand on my shoulder with a raged face.

"What?" I asked.

"Didn't you forget something?" she asked with a smile on her face that was hard to ignore.

"I didn't" I said, turned around and pushed the doorknob down.

"Why are you so stressed?" Brittany said and pulled me back.

"Can you stop touching me?"

"Sorry for trying to bring these back to you," she said and opened the door. She walked out and held the door open for me with my keys pendent on her index finger "catch" she threw the keys my way. "You need to pay more attention to your stuff, don't you?" she smiled as I failed to catch them.

I didn't respond, I nodded shyly out of embarrassment because she was one of around 4 people who watched me make a fool out of myself and drop the keys on the floor like that. However, she walked over to her friends. Quinn and some other girls. They were all staring at me but the only one I noticed was Quinn. The anger inside her showed clearly on her face when she spotted Brittany speaking to me, without being a total bitch. I ignored her hateful look and my eyes wandered around the room. In the left corner of the gym, I found Tina standing pressed into the wall all by herself.

"Tina?" I called as I walked over to her.

"Santana! Why would you do that to me?"

"Do what?" I asked.

"I thought you weren't going to come. I waited for you and you didn't show up. Thank God you're here" she said and hugged me out of nowhere.

I couldn't help but laughing at her hysterical behaviour right now. I had never seen anyone so happy about me showing up to P.E. Her smile was spread across her face and she tied her hair up in a ponytail, looking ready to actually be active this lesson.

"I asked you to show up, didn't I?," I asked her and did the same thing with my hair "that means I'll show up" I smiled and playfully put my arm around her neck, briefly, and we walked to the core of the room.
