Sam POV
After getting our asses handed to us by the Trouble tones everyone was dismissed to lunch. While we had the more diverse group our downfall was our self-appointed leaders Berry and Hudson-Hummel thinking they were the only ones allowed to sing songs and the rest us adding to the background. Artie had gotten so fed up he rolled off stage to join the audience. The attitudes that Finn and Rachel had were encouraged by Schue and that is the reason why we are here now competing against friends cause they were fed up as well. And who could blame them? My girl Mercy was apart of the Core five she literally made this group along with Kurt, Tina, Rachel, and Artie. And not once did she have a solo at any competition. I would've been pissed too. Telling Mike and Tina I'd catch up with them I lagged behind in the auditorium to catch Mercy leaving the auditorium.
"Hey Mercy wait up", I called. She Stopped and told Santana and Brittany she would meet them in the cafeteria. "What is it Sam," she deadpanned. "Damn Mama is that anyway to treat your future husband," I asked. She belted out her laugh that seemed almost like music itself as it filled up the room. Boy bye she responded. Mercy I wanted to talk to you about us I know we cut it off this summer with me moving,but i'm back and I was wondering-. Let me stop you right there,she cut off we can't date til I've won sectionals cause I don't want any distractions. But yes I would love to pick up where we left off because Sam you are my first and only love and I can't imagine my life without you and I don't know what's going to happen but I know I want to be with you. That's great Mercy maybe after the New Directions win sectionals I can do that thing with my fingers you like so much. And if the Trouble Tones win you got to give it up to Puck and I get to watch. "Excuse me but hell to the no I've seen what he's working with in the locker room I wouldn't be able to walk for a month." I exclaimed! That's why I love my Mercy she knew I was bi and she didn't care as long as I was open with her about my sexual history. "Why are you scared you're going to lose Sammy boy," she taunted? N-no it's jus-t that you know what fine you're on and when the New directions win you are so in for it. She countered with a smirk and said just get ready for Puck and walked to the cafeteria. Leaving me alone in the auditorium. Sitting down next to Tina and Mike in the lunchroom I received a text message from no one other than Puck saying:
Sexy Mama told me about the bet you guys made today. Don't worry your secret's safe with me. Damn I can't wait to claim that piece of hot ass. I'm not going to sabotage our sectionals performance either because it wouldn't be fair to the others i'm going to give my all like i'm going to give it all to you. See you around trouty.
I gulped in anticipation and fear.
Shelby POV
"How could you Will", I asked him in disbelief? He turned towards me his face conveying his confusion. "How could you let star power like that sit in the background for so long?" I asked him. "You don't understand Shelby Mercedes was always so confident ,so headstrong, so-so-" "So what Will you put her in the background because you felt intimidated by her,"I shouted angrily! "No that's not it it's just that Rachel had none of that but she had a great voice. So I thought if I put her in the spotlight more she would develop some type of confidence," Will explained. "Will to be a great teacher is to focus on every student not just two or three. You could have won every competition thus far if you had given Mercedes at least one God damn solo! By helping one student you almost broke another," I yelled. "You need to fix this Will she probably thinks you're a racist or have something against plus sized women," I demanded! " I know and I wish things didn't have to go this far but they did and i'm regretting every moment of it. How could I let it all fall apart," he asked himself? "I don't will but I do know way that can ensure that everyone dreams come true this year," I told him. "How?" he asked. "We combine our glee clubs after sectionals depending on who the winner is one of us will become senior choir director while the other becomes the junior choir director. Together we can fix the mistakes you've made thus far with the kids therefore they can recognize their full potential," I elaborated.
"So do we have a deal Will," I asked sticking my hand out.
"Deal," he said clasping her outstretched hand.
