Another chaptah!!
First Fight
Sam walked in McKinley and just knew today was not going to be a good day. He had just found out from a guy on the football team that Mercedes had been out with some guy at Breadstix last night. He couldn’t believe it; he would have never thought that she would or could do something like that to him but there it was.
He made his way to her locker, determined to find out what the hell was going on. When she saw him coming she gave her bright smile but it quickly turned to a questioning frown when she saw the expression on his face.
“Hey babe, is everything ok? Did you eat too many Doritos again?” she asked jokingly, although the worry was apparent in her voice.
“Don’t play that game Mercedes!” Sam spat out and moved away when she tried to put her hand on his arm.
“Excuse me?” Mercedes exclaimed with a warning tone, “What is your problem today?”
“You know exactly what it is!” Sam shouted back and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
“I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about and if you don’t change your tone I may have to take you to the carpet!” Mercedes argued back getting visibly more upset.
“You know what, forget it! I don’t even know why I bothered talking to you in the first place!”
With that Sam stormed off down the hall and Mercedes slammed her locker and stalked off in the opposite direction.
Glee club was especially awkward; Mercedes and Sam usually sat together but today they sat at opposite ends of the room. Everyone could sense that something was going on with theme but no one wanted to be the one to ask, just in case the frustration got taken out on them instead.
Mercedes was still upset but something was obviously bothering Sam and she had no clue what it was. She knew that she would have to be the one to approach him about it; when he got upset, he just withdrew into himself and she was one of the few people who could pull him out of it.
She searched all over the school at lunch time and finally found him in the locker room.
“Hey,” she said hesitantly as she walked up to him.
“Hey,” Sam mumbled reluctantly and looked down at his feet.
“So are you gonna tell me what I did to make you so mad or are we just gonna keep fightin’ like this. Cause believe it or not, me angry is not as sexy as you would think”
“How can you not know? Josh said he saw you at Breadstix last night with some hot black guy! How could you do this to me, I thought you cared about me Mercedes!”
Mercedes was silent for a second before bursting out laughing. Sam stared at her in shock and was at a loss for a second of what to say.
“Why are you laughing, it’s not funny!”
“I- I’m so-sorry,” Mercedes gasped between her laughter, “It’s just that I can’t believe this.”
“Wait so you weren’t on a date?”
“No! That was my cousin from New York! I told you like a week ago that he was coming to visit for a few days!”
Then it was Sam’s turn to be quiet; inside he was beating himself up for honestly thinking that Mercedes would ever cheat on him. How could he ever think she would do that to him?
“Babe, I’m so so sorry… you have no idea how bad I feel right now,” he said sheepishly and tentatively took a step towards her.
Mercedes finally got her laughter under control and eyed him seriously. “Sam I would never do that to you. This relationship means way too much to me to just throw it away like that”
“Yeah I know that, It’s just- It’s just that sometimes I wonder what you’re even doing with me and part of me is scared that you're gonna realize that I’m just a dumb blond football jock and you’ll find someone better.”
“I don’t think I could ever find a guy better than you Sam Evans,” Mercedes replied and put her arms on his shoulder. Sam gave her a small smile before he leaned in and gave short but sweet kiss.
“Hey you know you have to make this up to me somehow right?” she said with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Sam laughed and thought about it for a moment before answering, “How about a bouquet of your favourite flowers and I’ll watch both The Princess Diaries movies with you”
“It’s a start,” laughed Mercedes as she took his hand and led him out of the locker room.
