Chapter 4

It has been two weeks since they day Sam and Mercedes met. Fourteen days and Sam has not been able to crack the secret of his library girl. He has tried everything from going almost every day to the café to going to the library and still he had nothing, no name and no information whatsoever. Actually, he had not been able to get close to her because she has avoided him like a plague and everyone at the café has helped her on that. Inside Yale campus, it has been even worse because he has been at the library every day during his free time and it was as if she forgot she needed to study in a place like the library. This girl was becoming the quest of his life.

"Dude, how you been? I haven't seen you since our last lunch." Finn said as he sat down. "What are you doing at the library?"

"Studying." Sam replied without taking his sight off his book.

"Since when do you do that?"

"Since always." Sam answered sarcastically.

"Liar. You're still looking for that waitress, right?"

Sam was annoyed by Finn's twenty-question game but also he did not want to give him an answer. Sam remained silent and went back to his reading.

"Evans, what the fuck? She's just a waitress."

"I bet that's what people still say about your mother."

"Leave my mother out of this."

"Oh, so sensitive!" Sam said in a mocking tone.

"Dude, I don't talk about your mother. Stop bringing my mom into our conversations every time I bring your waitress girl."

"Stop telling me what to do, Hudson." Sam said sternly.

"I do it because I care about you."

"You do?" Sam looked at him with false amazement. "Enlighten me."

"Dude, I'm just saying that you are neglecting your friends for a girl that's simply not interested."

"What do you mean neglecting? My only real friend is Mike and I talk to him almost every day." Sam said.

"Ouch." Finn replied mortified.

"Whatever… You'll get over it."

"What about Rachel?"

"What about her?" Sam asked irritated.

"She's been looking for you."

"I've been hiding from her." He confessed.

"Why?"

"Because I'm not interested anymore."

"You like this waitress chick, don't you?" Finn asked in an accusatory tone.

"No." Sam answered harshly.

"Prove it!" Finn said in a challenging tone.

"I don't have to prove you anything."

"Whatever, Evans! You can't deny she has ignited something in you."

"Fuck off, Hudson. Go fuck Rachel if that is what you want and leave me the fuck alone." Sam spat, leaving the library in a heartbeat.

Since Sam had another thirty minutes before his class, he texted his friend, Mike Chang.

"Dude, where you at?"

Sam and Mike had been friends since high school and their bond grew stronger when they started college. Mike was a talented dancer but he was studying Political Science in hopes on getting into Law School to make his father happy. Even though, Mike came from a wealthy family he has always been nice to everybody and it was something that Sam tended to find strange.

After a couple of minutes, Sam's cellphone buzzed.

"I'm at the Social Studies' building with a friend. What's up?"

"Nothing. Meet you in 5."

Five minutes later and Sam found Mike at one of the hallways talking to a girl very familiar to him. "It can't be." He thought. The closer he got, the faster his heart was beating. Sam was completely sure that by the way people were staring at him, they were probably listening to his heartbeats. "Control yourself, Sam. She's just a girl." He kept saying to himself in a futile attempt to control his emotions.

"Hey dude!" Mike greeted him.

"Hey!" Sam bashfully answered. Sam could feel the girl staring at him intently and suddenly he started to feel like his heart was skipping some beats.

"Sam, let me introduce you to the smartest and most awesome girl around, Mercedes Jones." Sam slowly faced the girl and instantly got lost in her eyes. Until that day, she was just a face, a face he wanted to remember but now he had her name, the name he was craving to know since that day at the library.

"Nice to meet you, Mercedes!" Sam said to the girl, who was giving him the 'don't act like you already know me' look.

"Nice to meet you. Mike said your name was?" She indifferently said.

"My name is Sam Evans."

"Oh!" She smiled and his whole world lighted up.

"Sam… umm… Can you stop eye-fucking her?"

Sam's face turned bloodshot red. After an awkward conversation that lasted no more than a minute, Mercedes left the two friends and went to class.

"Sam, is there something I need to know?" Mike asked interestedly. "I mean… You were looking at my friend like she was the only girl you want to be with."

"There's nothing to say."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely! Umm… Well, there's something."

"What is it?"

"I'm thinking about getting a job."

"A job? Are you sick? Are you trolling me right now?"

"I mean it. I think is time for Sam Evans to get his first job."

"Where?"

"The café at Yale Blvd."

XXXXX

A couple of the days later, Sam walked into the café but this time he went in as a job applicant and not as a customer. After a very interesting interview, where he had to use every ounce of his charm and even say a little white lie, he got the job. Sam was ecstatic about it because he was going to be around Mercedes more often.

"Hey Joe!" A cheerful Mercedes said as she walked into the café.

"Hello Mercedes! Shuester has a surprise for you."

"Really?" She said beaming.

"Oh yes… And you are definitely going to like it." Joe added sarcastically, making her raise her eyebrow in a sign of suspicion. Joe laughed when she saw the change on her facial expression. He knew in his heart that it was going to be an interesting day.

As Mercedes approached the to-go sandwich station, she could not believe what she was seeing.

"Good day!" Her boss, William Shuester, chirped.

"There's nothing good about today." Mercedes rejected bitterly.

"Why?" Her boss asked lost.

"New employee." She said pointing at Sam.

"Oh Sam! He just started today."

"I can see that." Mercedes said side-eying her boss. "Why did you hire him?"

"He came highly recommended."

"By who?" She asked in horror.

"You." Will replied and walked away.

Mercedes was mad beyond comprehension. She walked to the sandwich station and took a deep breath before speaking.

"You used me as your reference?"

"Yep." He said without any hint of mortification.

"Why?"

"Because you're the only I know here and I need the job." He said looking at her keenly.

"But… you're rich. You don't need this job."

"How do you know that?" Sam asked her quizzically.

"Mike told me." She answered frankly.

"So… You have been asking stuff about me. Interesting." Sam said in a conceited tone.

"Don't get so full of yourself."

"Too late."

Mercedes grunted. "Is this like a social experiment? Are you purposely trying to drive me insane?"

"You love to ask questions, right?" Sam quipped. "Look… My parents cut me off and I need to make some money."

"Bull-"

Sam interrupted her by sweetly saying, "I don't think is nice of you to be cursing during work hours."

"Whatever. I don't have time to deal with you. Just stay out of my way, ok?" She requested him.

"I'll try." He whispered close to her ear. She pushed him away from her and then, walked away from him. He could not hide his satisfactory smile. He loved driving her to the edge of her emotions.

"Mercedes, where are you going?" Shuester asked her making her stop her tracks

"To check which section I have today."

"You're not working on the floor today. You're on training duties." He informed her.

"What? No! Get someone else." She whined.

"Mercedes, you're training Sam." Her boss ordered her.

Mercedes looked at Sam, who was joyfully smiling at her. "Oh God! Please, kill me now." She whispered as she got closer to her worst living nightmare.
