Santana Maria Lopez is the only child born to Dr & Mrs. Lopez. She is quite literally the apple of her parents eyes, in their eyes she could do no wrong. Despite that she was judgemental and didn’t make friends easily she, in the eyes of her parents she was an angel. She has always been interested in singing and dancing so her parents decided to put her into singing lessons and ballet lessons. Lessons in which she took a shining to. Kept secret from her friends, Santana excelled in her lessons and became top of her class.
It wasn’t until she was ten years old that her father received a job in Lima Ohio that her family had to move from the sunny California. Santana had never been happy about the move but she understood that her father had to relocate and she had to go with her family, back to the hometown of her mother. Once in Lima and starting school her parents offered to find her new dance classes but she refused instead she headed in the direction of cheerleading.
As she grew older and made her way through the cheerleading teams, Santana found close friends in Brittany Pierce and Quinn Fabray. The three of them had become close friends, almost inseparable. They were the best friends that Santana ever had and could ever ask for. Two people to stick by her through everything? Absolutely perfect. The best friends to last her a lifetime. As they grew older and made their way to high school she could see how confident Brittany was with her sexuality yet Santana could only admire from afar.
She couldn’t admit to the world, let alone herself, that the latina was in fact a lesbian. Instead she kept up the front of being a heterosexual woman in today’s society. It made things much easier for the girl and the older she got the more attractive she became. With her rise in beauty and popularity Santana had gone from the angel of her parents to the slut of McKinley High.
She spent her high school years trying to prove not only to everyone else but to herself that she was a straight woman, but deep down she knew it wasn’t true. Her constant anger at herself caused her to constantly lash out at other’s. Being mean and calling others degrading names, it was one of the reason’s why Sue Sylvester saw such greatness in her. Santana Lopez was the HBIC of McKinley High and she wasn’t going to lose that title to anyone.
With this being her seinor year Santana knew that her time was running out. It was no lie that she had bounced back and forth from all the boy’s in McKinley High, but she wasn’t ready to tell anyone about her sexuality either way. The only one she could truly confide in was her best friend Brittany. Santana has never been able to bring herself to say the words out loud or to have everyone stare at her. She had witnessed first hand how Kurt was treated when he came out and she knew that she couldn’t handle dealing with that herself. No in fact Santana Maria Lopez was going to keep this secret for as long as she could unless she was forced out of the flannel closet by someone else’s hands.
