The halls of Mckinley were starting to die down when Mercedes heard a walk that almost resembled a stomp, thinking it was the gigantic Finn Hudson coming to congragulate her on her solo today in Glee club she said aloud, "I'm pretty good huh Hudson?".
"Pardon me?" an unfamilliar voice spoke towards her, Mercedes froze and turned her head. A tall, muscular brunette was staring at her with gleaming eyes and a smirk on his face.
"Oh..." she paused, "I...uh thought you were someone else" She smiled, and made a mental not to herself to not act on intuition ever again.
The boy laughed, "Well...your boyfriend is one lucky boy then" he said and winked at her, as he walked away Mercedes shook her head at herself and silently laughed that the new guy thought Finn was her boyfriend.
She slammed her locker and turned to her left, the boy was still standing there,
"Do you need some help?" she asked, accidentally sounding harsh.
The boy turned to her, "Uhm yes actually, can you tell me where the Glee Club practice is?"
She lifted and eyebrow, "You sing?"
"Quite well actully" he said Matter of factly.
Meredes gave him a look, she did not like this guy he had male rachel berry writen all over him. "This way" she said, walking past him.
'Hes going to go and steal all of the solo's now..' Mercedes thought to herself. She carefully side glanced at him. The way he was walking made him look arrogent or like he was trying to have swag, yet he had a smile on his face like he knew she was watching him, Mercedes scoffed and turned towards the choir room door.
"Thank you for showing me here" the boy said.
she snorted, "Yea no problem" and walked a head of him into the room. Mr. Shue was standing infront of the white board and was writing that Mercedes couldn't make out because of how is body was blocking the way. Rachel was sitting beside Finn talking to Kurt who looked like he would rather be somewhere else – then again so did Finn who was spacing out. Quinn was talking to Santana and Brittney who were holding hands. And then there was Tina and Mike sitting in the corner cooing into each others ears. Merecedes sat beside Artie who was bobbing his head to what sounded like Bob Marley.
"Class, we have a new student" said, intterupting everyones train of thought and speech. The teacher put his hand on the boy's shoulder and looked to the class. Mercedes heard Santana behind her say something about sprinkles and breadcrumbs.
"This is Nick Mitchell" Mr. Shue paused, "And he'll be joining the new directions!" the teacher smiled while Nick just looked around .
Mercedes was not impressed, at all. This kid had broadway written all over him, and she as not down with another broadway freak in the club, Rachel was handfull enough.
"But doesn't he have to audition?" Finn piped up, looking at Nick with begruding eyes.
"Yea" Mercedes added.
Mr. Shue laughed and nodded, "Yes Finn and Mercedes he does, and kind of alread has in my office but" he looked at Nick, "Would you like to appease Mr. Hudson and Miss. Jones?"
Nick nodded and winked at mercedes while motioning towards Finn, both Finn, Rachel and Mercedes looked at him.
"Okay so, I guess I'll sing something by my favourite artist Steve Wonder, Superstitious."
Very superstitious, writing's on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.
oo When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song.
When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh.
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no
shut up!
By the end of his song Santana and Brittany were dancing in thier seats and Artie was doing his "Preacher" hands. Still though Mercedes wasnt happy. He had done well, which was what annoyed her and what scared her.
"Wow Nick that was awesome, Better than you singing The Who in my office!" said,
Mercedes turned around when she heard Puck speak up, "Dude that was awesome come sit your white ass down beside the Puckster and his girl" He said while motioning towards the seat next to him.
glared at him.
"Well Nick I have to admit, that I'm a little glad you came because guess what guys!" said, almost a little too enthusiastically.
"Duets!" Rachel said, from accross the room.
"Yes!" Mr. Shue said pointing to her. "And since Nick sounds like hes got a lot of soul in his voice" The teacher paused.
'oh hell naw, you are not putting him with me' Mercedes thought while crossing her arms over her chest.
"Mercedes, you and Nick will be together" Mr. Shue said.
She rolled her eyes and sighed , Nick on the other hand grinned and said,
"This should be fun".
