"Mercedes repeat after me. I, Mercedes Jones take you Sam Evans as my husband to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish till death do us part."

Taking a deep breath Mercedes looked up at her soon to be husband and smiled. "I, Mercedes Jones take you Sam Evans as my husband to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish till death do us part."

"Now Sam your turn. I, Sam Evans take you Mercedes Jones as my wife to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish till death do us part."

Pushing her hair out her face Sam beamed and repeated "I, Sam Evans take you Mercedes Jones as my wife to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish till death do us part."

"With the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.

Leaning in Sam and Mercedes halfway and shared their first kiss as husband and wife. Pulling away Mercedes wiped her lipstick from his lips and whispered "I love you." "I love you too." Turning toward the guests, they grabbed each other hands and began walking back down the aisle.

"Ladies and gentlemen I give Mr. and Mrs. Sam & Mercedes Evans.

"NO! I DON'T WANNA GO!" Kicking her legs in her booster seat hitting the back of her mom's seat Mercedes Jones throws a tantrum on her first day of kindergarten. "I want to stay home with you mommy." She starts bawling and puts her head in her head. Turning around Denise Jones reaches and grabs her daughter's leg. "You can't baby. You gotta go and show everyone how you're going to be the smartest kid in that class. Just like you've show us how smart you are it's time to show the world."

The little pep talk seemed to make Mercedes calm down and begin to whimper as her cries came to a stop. She nodded her head and wiped her tears just as her father Marlon Jones pulled into her new elementary school. Both parents turned to their youngest and smiled. "You ready baby?"

Mercedes nodded her head and waited for her mom to take her out her booster seat. The moment her feet hit the ground she ran to her father and grabbed onto his leg. Marlon picked her up and made his way into the building with his wife to take their daughter to begin her school years. Walking into her assigned classroom he put Mercedes down and pushed her kinky curls behind her ear. "We have to leave now baby okay?" She nodded. She gave both her parents a hug and watched them walk away before sitting in the corner alone. She put her head down and started to silently cry.

"Excuse me? Are you okay?" Lifting her head she saw and boy with green eyes and light brown hair. Mercedes nodded and tried to put her head back down but was stopped by the mysterious boy. "My mom always says when you cry you're not okay. Unless they're happy tears but those don't look like happy tears. They look like sad tears. Oh by the way I'm Sam. Sam I am and I don't like green eggs and ham." Mercedes giggled and wiped her tears. "I'm Mercedes. They're sad tears because I didn't want to leave my mom." Sam nodded and smiled at her. "I understand. Do you want to be best friends? We can share our lunches and play together at recess and even sleep next to each other during nap time." Mercedes smiled wide for the first time that day. "I would like that very much." She reached over and gave Sam a big hug.

"Mercedes Jones."

"Sam Evans."

"I do this every year. Mercedes!"

"Why must I do this every year? SAM!"

"Ugh Mom, I'm up. I'm up."

"I'm awake I promise."

"You better be. Don't make me come up those stairs."

"Yeah yeah yeah. Hurry up and get ready cause you're dropping off Stevie & Stacy."

Walking into her connecting bathroom Mercedes smiled in her mirror before walking to her shower. Her parents weren't rich but they had money. They lived comfortably.

Sam ruffled his hair and walked into his shared bathroom. "Stevie out." Watching his little brother huff and stomp out Sam grinned and began his school morning routine. Sam's family weren't broke but they didn't live as comfortably as Mercedes' Family.

Walking downstairs Mercedes smoothed down one of the strands going down her face. She decided to put her mid back kinky curls into a half up half down with two curly strands in the front. "Mercedes. What car are you taking? I have to leave soon." Denise looks as if she hadn't aged in years. Pushing her mid to late 40s. She put a bowl of Mercedes' favorite cereal down in front of her. "I'm not driving. Sam's taking me."

"Sam come eat. The twins are waiting on you." Walking past his mom he gave her a kiss on the head and fist bumped his dad. "No time Mom. I'm picking up Mercedes today." Mary Evans look at her oldest and smiled. "I hope this means you're finally going to tell her how you feel. Here at least take a banana and an apple." He grabbed both along with his bag and keys. "I don't know mom. Maybe. Guys lets go." Not giving his mom a chance to respond he walked into the garage and got into his car.

"Sam huh?" Mercedes shook her head smiling and continued eating her cereal. "Mom. Please not this again." Denise smiled and patted her head. "What? I like him for you. Your dad likes him for you." Laughing Mercedes put her empty bowl in the sink and got her bag from the closet. "Mom. He doesn't see me that way and even if he does I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship." Hearing a knock then the door open they stopped talking and looked towards the door. "Oh look who it is. Sam we were just talking about you. Stevie & Stacy!" Mercedes shook her head and walked towards Sam. "Sam that key is only for emergencies." He shrugged and smiled. "Okay lets go. Bye mom."

Walking to their lockers Mercedes smoothed down her skirt and walked up to her teammates. "Wassup bitches." They smiled and Quinn twirled her hair and bit her lip. "Hey Sam." Sticking his hands in pockets showing only Mercedes he was annoyed her gave her a half smile. "Hey Quinn." Looking at me he smiles. "Let me know when you're ready I'll walk you to class."

After talking for a while the bell rung and everyone started to clear the hall. Sam walked up to Mercedes and wrapped his around her. "Let's go girl." As they walked to class Mercedes saw a sign up sheet for glee club ran by a new director. She stopped Sam and signed her name. "Want me to sign your name?"

"Nah I'm good." She shrugged and grabbed his arm. "C'mon!"
