****************************************************************************************************************** NEW POV: MIKE.*********************************************************************************************************
Mike Chang woke up, for the first time in a really long time, happy with himself. The night before, he had gone on the most amazing date ever with his soon-to-be-girlfriend, Mercedes Jones. They had gone to see a scary movie and he held her hand the entire time. He walked her to her car and drove home almost intoxicated from excitement. He thought to himself as soon as he got home that he hadn't been that happy in, well, ever. He got in bed and stared at the ceiling for hours. But more importantly than the date was his current plan: He was going to ask Mercedes to be his girlfriend after Glee Club the next day. He still hadn't worked out the details, but that didn't matter much to him. He just hoped she'd say yes and then his life would be perfect. He drifted off to sleep with Mercedes on his mind.
The next day went by very smoothly. Mike payed attention in each class as he always did, but every little thing reminded him of Mercedes. By fourth period, he was really tired from the lack of sleep he endured the night before. He dozed off and dreamed that he walked into Glee Club and danced for Mercedes before asking her out. With a resounding yes, his teacher yelled in his ear and Mike was startled awake. "nejfhehuh?"he mumbled. "You were talking to yourself, Michael," the teacher said angrily. "Step outside." Mike did so, taking his stuff. He only had about 5 minutes left before Glee, so he wandered towards the Music Room to chat with Mr. Schue before rehearsal. He asked permission to start class with a dance recital of sorts. Mr. Schue reluctantly agreed, not knowing what Mike was doing or why. As the rest of the class filed in, Mike took his place in the front of the music room. The last person in was the only one he cared about, Mercedes. As she sat down, his eyes brightened up and he hit the music. Every time he got a break in his routine, he would find her eyes and she would smile and he would mess up a little before catching himself. As he finished, he sat down next to her and pulled out a note for Mercedes.
Last night was really fun. :) Want to do it again sometime?
He passed it over to her without looking and watched her reaction out of the corner of his eye...
