You didn’t even realize your verbal slip up, not thinking anything of your statement to the viewers of your online show, “Fondue for Two”.
Mercedes and Tina were your guests for the episode, when you said “I heard a rumor that Santana plays for the other team, and I can confirm that rumor. It’s 100% true.”
Both girls were shocked by your words, and they looked at each other, dumbfounded. When they asked you if you were serious, you said yes, and then picked up Lord Tubbington and allowed him to eat the cheese fondue (which disgusted them).
You truly didn’t think much of your words, knowing that you were talking about her involvement in the Glee Club and not her sexuality.
The next day, you’re already ready for Glee, sitting in the back of the choir room, lost in your thoughts, like you usually are.
Santana walks into the choir room practically seething, but why wouldn’t she be? To her knowledge, you outed her to everyone who watches your show.
“This, is your fault!” She’s got a copy of the school newspaper —The Muckraker— in her hand. “You told everyone that I played for ‘another team’ on your ridiculous melted cheese show.” Santana has never been this mad at you before, and it worries you.
“Wait are you mad? You do play for another team. You were on the Cheerios and now you’re only in the New Directions.” You truly don’t know what she could be referring to otherwise. In your mind, your meaning and intention had been pretty clear.
“And you couldn’t have thought of any other way to say that?” Before you can answer her, you get distracted momentarily by Finn accusing Sam of allowing Quinn to cheat with him in some skanky motel, watching as Finn storms out of the room, ignoring the fact that you’re supposed to be rehearsing together.
She decides to sit on the other side of the room, and you make a move to sit near her right as Mr. Schue starts the meeting. You want to apologize, and make sure that she’s not mad at you for much longer.
