Author's Notes: this is my first story. very short! but I just wanted to get some Blaine/Brittana friendship out of my head. Please excuse the grammar and spelling errors, I read right over that stuff and I don't have anyone to proof read for me.
Blaine walked into math class just as the bell rang, he saw Brittany sitting in the back of the class and Santana wasn’t there just yet, regretting his choice, in fear of the wrath of Santana, he took the seat by his fellow glee member. Brittany smiled at him, “Hi Unicorn Blaine.”
“Hey Brittany, Santana isn’t here?” Blaine took the seat and focused on her the way most people don’t. She really liked Blaine, not just because he makes Kurt happy but because he listened and cared when she talked. To her he was the male Santana.
“She is with Coach Sue, getting interviewed for her campaign.” Brittany said, “Want a lollipop?” she held out a handful of dum-dum.
“Do you have any blue ones” Blaine looked into her hand and took the cotton candy one. They smile at each other and sucked on their lollipops while the math teacher started passing back work. Blaine’s paper is passed back he receives an A, he smiled to himself and Brittany got hers a D-. Brittany held up her paper to Blaine with a big smiled. She smiled and high-five her. “Good job Britt.” The teacher gave the two of them disappointing looks.
“Blaine that’s hardly a celebrating grade,” He said. Blaine looked at the teacher as Brittany hung her head. She could stand up for herself when someone else called her Stupid or Dumb, but what does she say to this.
“Why would you say?” Blaine looked at him.
“ D minus, I didn’t even include the questions she didn’t answer,” the teacher said. The class got quite to watch the small feud forming in the back.
“Your lack of encouragement is disappointing, Brittany did her best just because it’s not the world’s best doesn’t mean it’s not hers.” Blaine said.
The teacher looked dumbfounded. Santana walking in as Blaine continued with his defense speech.
“Brittany is a smart girl. Have you ever asked her about cats? English myths? Unicorns? I highly doubt you have ever seen her perform, whether it’s dancing, singing, or cheering. You teach math, I'm sure if you spend more time learning about your student's other activities, you will realize that math is just a bimp in their radar. Failing a math quiz which I'm sure no one will ever look at after this semester means nothing. Supporting and giving praise to Brittany is something she will remember forever.” Blaine finished and Santana crossed the room and gave the math teacher her notorious stare of death.
Without another word he left and Santana took the seat in front of Blaine.
“Thanks for defending my girl, Penguin.” Blaine gave a reassuring smile and when back to his forgotten Dum-Dum.

i liked this; it was really sweet. i agree that brittany is a smart girl–just not academically. i liked the observation that blaine "listened and cared when she talked." this reminded me of when finn told figgins that mr schue is the only teacher who asks how you are and actually wants to hear the answer. one constructive criticism for you. watch out for run-on sentences. "You teach math, I'm sure if you spend more time learning about your student other activates you will realized that math is just a blimp in their radar and failing a math quiz that I'm sure no one will ever look at after this semester you would give praise to Brittany." this run-on was really confusing because i couldn't figure out what you were trying to say. maybe if this had been three shorter sentences, comprehension would have been easier. also: "realized" should be realize -and- "blimp" should be blip -and- "student other activates" should probably be student's other activities.
Thank you so much. That is a really long sentence. and I will edit those other mistakes. Again thanks so much for reviewing it means alot to me :)
ah ha! now i get what you were trying to say! the smaller sentences made your meaning much clearer to me. i've got a few more suggestions to make. i am going to edit myself a bit. "You teach math, I'm sure if you spend more time learning about your student's other activities, you will realize that math is just a bimp in their radar. Failing a math quiz which I'm sure no one will ever look at after this semester means nothing." first, take out the phrase 'you teach math,'. it really serves no purpose. second, (this is where i'm editing myself), rewrite "student's other activities" to say 'students' extracurricular activities'. i forgot about plural possessives and forgot where the apostrophe goes. but it's correct now. third, "bimp" should be 'blip'. fourth, you needed a few commas in the following sentence. "Failing a math quiz, which I'm sure no one will ever look at after this semester, means nothing." other than that, i glad you wrote a small story exploring blaine, santana, and brittany's friendship. i would love to read more of it :)
thank you very much! I will get right on those edits. (: and im glad u liked it, I am writing a longer story about a Klaine/brittana weekend, that wont be finished till Dec. Again, thank you for the review!
Haha! I definitely like the little message behind it! A minor grammar error but overall I liked it!
Thanks for the read hon. I'm glad u liked it. I am looking for a beta as I type lol but no luck just yet. I'll just have to pay more attention.
Pierson (Pierce/Anderson) was my favorite friendship to write, but I've fallen for Quaine recently. Thanks for the review it means a lot to me (:
i like it, and it is true what you had Blaine say about Britt she is a lot smarter then people think...
nicely done!
thank you! this was before I even knew what I was doing! if you really like it I'd recommend reading some of the newer stories,I really don't write shorts or one shots these days but if you have the time, it would be awesome!
