DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GLEE.

The beginning of New Beginnings :)

Enjoy!

The bell rung signaling the start of a new school year. Mercedes sighed in relief..she was ready. This was her senior year and she couldn't wait to get it started. Turning off the engine, she grabbed her book bag from the backseat and got out the car. Walking up the steps she spoke to some familiar faces, she opened the door and proceeded to make her way to her locker. When she rounded the corner, she saw Mike and Santana waiting for her by her locker.

"Hey guys!" She greeted as she hugged Mike. Mike was one of her best friends, no doubt. He has been there for her through everything.

"Hey Mercy." He hugged her, "I stopped by your house this morning, Mom sent you, Ms. Karen, and Mr. Jones some breakfast but you were already gone."

Mercedes adjusted her book bag strap on her arm. "Sorry..Micah wanted me to send him something in the mail this morning."

"What did Mr. Smooth talker want?" Santana asked as she filed her nails. Her and Mercedes have been close since elementary school. People always wonder how these two became friends. Santana was a bitch, while Mercedes was the total opposite of her.

"That's none of your business, San." She went and hugged her friend.

"WHAT?! I practically live with you guys, so your business is my business." Santana smirked.

Mike rolled his eyes at her. "I'll see you guys later."

Mercedes waved at him, turning back to unlock her locker. She pulled it opened and place her book bag in.

"I can not believe this is our last year of high school. It feels like we were just Freshmen yesterday." Mercedes said. When she didn't get no answer, she turned to find her friend typing intensely to her phone, "SANTANA."

She jumped, looking up at her friend, "What?''

Mercedes gave her a major side eye. "Who are you texting?"

"Sam..he asked me if I had any cigarettes." She said as she went back to texting.

Mercedes rolled her eyes, "You two should really should stop smoking, it's bad for your lungs."

"Yes mom." Sam said as he appeared behind her.

Mercedes turned around and punched him the shoulder.

"You know for such a small person, your punches hurt." Sam pouted, but then pulled her into a hug,

Santana rolled her eyes at him. For some reason she always hated when Sam flirted with Mercedes.

"Be a big boy and take it Sammy." Mercedes told her friend. She would never admit this to anyone but every since middle school, she always had a crush on Sam. She had twisted her ankle during cheer practice and Sam was the first one the volunteer to help her to her classes. She shook her head out of thought. She knew that likelihood of them being together would never happen, that's why she was happy that they were just friends.

"I will take it shortie" He smirked at her. He looked at Santana, "How's my best friend doing this fine morning?" He went and kissed her cheek.

Santana grimaced when he kissed her, wiping her cheek roughly, "How did we become friends again?'

"If I remember correctly, you said on the first day of first grade and I quote, Hey boy with the fishy looking lips..you are my best friend okay." Sam smirked.

Mercedes laughed at them. She always loved the story of how they became friends, it was hilarious. The first bell sounded telling them it was time for first period. Mercedes grabbed her book.

"I will see ya'll later." She kissed them both on the cheek.

Santana sighed as she watched her walk away.

Sam look at her and smirked, "Still crushing on her?"

Santana snapped out of her daze, "W-What? No..I just." She rolled her eyes. "Bye Trout." She turned around quickly.

Sam shook his head. Pushing off the lockers, he headed to his class.

A/N. Just an introduction chapter! This is going to be a wild ride, so I hope that you are ready :)
