Mercedes walked into the music room with a look of aggravation and happiness. Her day wasn t really going that well, but the thought of what they were going to be doing in Glee today kind of lifted her mood a little bit. Flashing everyone a small smirk, she walked over to her chair in between Tina and Kurt and turned over to talk gossip with the both of them. In the middle of the conversation, her brown eyes caught a glimpse of Brittany and her boyfriend talking, giggling and close in the room and she sighed. Deep down inside she envied other people in relationships. It always seemed a little silly to envy such a dumb thing, but it was always a little bothersome. Sure, the whole thing with Kurt was fun while it lasted, but that turned out to be a big mess. Being used by him was not a fun thing at all. Then finding out that he was gay in the end of it was a big shock to her, but after a couple of days, it finally hit her like the big rock she threw at his window. How could she not know that he was gay? It was pretty obvious, but at the time she was simply blinded by the attention that he gave to her. Getting it from a guy made it even better. In the middle of the things flying around in her head, a sudden voice made her snap out of it as Tina tugged on her arm and a look of urgentness on her face. Come on, we need you so we can get this song out of the way! Laughing nervously she got up and walked over to the other girls who were already waiting on her. The song was supposed to be sang twice: Once for lyrics and tone and second for chorography and body language. The second time around, her eyes shifted over to one of the quietest boy in the group: Mike. He didn t talk or sing much, but dancing was what he seemed to be best at. Since they were getting judged, she felt the need to impress him the most.
When their eyes met in between the songs, she kind of felt a little twinge of something in her stomach. Nothing bad or weird, kind of funny and girly, a feeling she didn t get that often. She quickly finished up the song and smiled with content when the boys clapped for them. After the performance, she sat down in her chair and once again, her mind started going off into its own mind. This time about Mike. He is single right? I mean he was going out with Brittany, but she was over with that guy earlier.. After practice she glanced over at him one more time as he was talking to Kurt. Puzzled, she looked over at Kurt who had a mischievous look on his face. Shaking her head and laughing, she grabbed her stuff and walked out of the room waving at them and walked home. Hopefully, Kurt didn t tell Mike that she liked him, but judging by the look on his face, he did. Deep inside, she was kind of glad he told him because she would have to break the ice and do it eventually.
After two long weeks of quick glances and thinking, she decided that she would actually talk to him and get to know him a little better. Catching him smiling at her, she smiled back and waved cutely back at him. Mr. Schue broke the silence between them and asked what was so funny and they both quickly replied by singing nothing in unison. Today was the day that the boys were going to perform for the girls, like that did two weeks ago. In the middle of the song, she realized that Mike had a little dancing solo and her attention quickly went down at the paper where they were supposed to add comments on. Writing down that she wanted to see more of his dancing, she turned the paper over and handed it to Mr. Schue. At the end of Rehearsal, she got up and grabbed her backpack and stuff and her mind was focused on one thing. It was weird cause she was always the loud outspoken one, but this time, she seemed to be at a loss of words.
In the middle of packing, she heard a faint voice and turned around to see Mike looking her in the face. Oh hey, Mike. Whats up? Before the words could fly out of her mouth, she heard him ask about the movies. Smiling at how cheesy and adorable it was, she nodded. Sure, I would love to go to the movies with you. She sighed at herself as she replied. It was very rare that her guard was down like this, but it has been a long time since someone actually asked her out and this time she was sure that he was no where near gay.
