A/N: So this is a little angsty fic about Mercedes' views on Sam. I figured since I usually do fluffy or funny stuff, I'd do a little drama. Read and Review please :)
Ever since the one week long relationship that Mercedes had with Puck, she had pretty much sworn off guys. The guys at McKinley were either really immature or were extremely hung up on physical appearance and neither of those things were something that Mercedes was willing to put up with. It just seemed like stuff like that never seemed to work out for her. The first guy she liked turned out being gay and the only boy she'd ever dated only did it because she was popular at the time and he wanted to get his reputation back up.
When Sam Evans first came to McKinley High Mercedes thought that he was a pretty down to earth guy, not all hung up on outward things like most guys. But then he started dating Quinn and she quickly changed her mind. She loved Quinn but damn that girl was into her status and Sam went right along with her. It was only a matter of time though, that Sam began to realize how Quinn tended to operate and sure enough, their relationship was over as quickly as it started.
Mercedes was on her way to Science when she saw Sam leaning against a wall in one of the back hallways. Pausing a little at first, she made her way over to him.
"Hey Sam," she said softly, and gave him a small smile. He started a little before giving her a smile back.
"Hey Mercedes," he said, "Sorry I was kinda out of it, didn't see you coming."
"That's ok, I know this hasn't been the best day for you"
"Yeah, I've definitely had better," Sam replied laughing a little quietly, "It just kinda sucks because I should have known better"
Mercedes hesitated before saying "I was hoping that Quinn would realize a good quality guy when she saw one but I think my girl still has a lot to learn."
Sam gave her a sad smile and looked down; it was definitely hard seeing him so upset.
"It'll get better, ya know? You're gonna meet a really great girl who appreciates you and will love all the quirky things."
"Thanks Mercedes, I appreciate that," Sam said, bending down to pick up his bag from the floor, "Hey I better get going, see you in glee club Mercedes."
"Maybe I was wrong about him," thought Mercedes to herself as she walked into the choir room. "Ok I'm just gonna go up to him and ask if he wants to go out for a movie or something, it can't be that hard right?"
She had no sooner finished this thought when she looked up and saw Sam sitting with (and looking extremely close to) Santana. She looked at them first in shock, which quickly turned into hurt. She saw an empty seat and hurried to fill it before Mr. Schue came in.
"When did that happen", she whispered to Tina, while trying to control her voice from trembling.
Of course he would go for a girl like Santana; she was gorgeous, had a great body, and was popular.
She should have known that guys like him don't go for girls like her.
