Summery A Home-Ec assignment pairs Mike and Mercedes up for an interesting project
Home Ec was supposed to be a bird coarse- an easy A to help keep his GPA up so that he could play sports however if he knew this was coming he would of gladly transferred into one of those AP classes Miss Pillsbury had told him he should sign up for as he wasn’t as dumb as people perceived jocks to be. As it was the teacher Mrs. Prescott was explaining their latest assignment that would run for two weeks and count as a fourth of their final grade.
“I have paired you up at random and for the next two weeks you will be married…well figuratively speaking.”
He listened as she was going on and on about how they would be assigned various tasks during the week and would have to complete them as if they were a real married couple.
However that was all he heard as he began to scope out the female students of the class trying to see who his potential wife could be…and then his eyes fell upon her…one Mercedes Jones and a smile crossed his lips.
If you would of asked him a year ago who Mercedes Jones was he would of simply shrugged his shoulders not having a clue however since he had joined New Directions the two of them had become…well not friends exactly but mild acquaintances and…he kind of harbored a crush on her that only his best friend and confidant Matt Rutherford knew about.
“Mike Chang,” Mrs. Prescott called snapping him to attention causing him to head up to her desk where she handed him a manila folder, “this is your life for the next two weeks.”
He smiled as he took the folder and headed to his seat…ready to see his fate.

Of all the guys in all the class and she got saddled with Mike Chang!
Not that she minded that…hell anyone was ‘better’ husband material then Jacob Ben Israel who gave her the creeps.
No matter how much Rachel annoyed her at times with her holier then thou diva attitude no one deserved that creep as a stalker.
And at least Mike was her friend in a sense so that was a plus; after all her parents were best friends before they married and they were still together unlike many families in America today.
Though her career left much to be desired….a teacher? Hell to the naw…sure she thought it was a noble profession and she had the utmost respect for her own teachers it just wasn’t the career she had in mind. She wanted to work in fashion or be a performer…but that was that the cards dealt so she’d have to go along with it….
It was then that the students began to shuffle around the room leading her partner to approach her, a sweet smile crossing his lips.
“I feel I should get down on my knees and give you a ring or something,” Mike spoke in a nervous tone which she found to be kind of uncharacteristic for the otherwise confident jock.
“It’s just an assignment,” she said causing him to nod.
“I know that.”
It was then an awkward silence befell them for a nanosecond.
“So, what did you get as a career? I’m a cop…so not what I want to be in real life.”
For a brief second she was trying to picture her classmate in a police uniform before shaking the image out of her head replying with her occupation for the assignment.
“Teacher…not my ideal job either.”
She watched as he flashed a sweet smile in her directions, a smile she was sure drove most girls crazy however she wasn’t most girls and at the moment though it was a surefire way to boost her popularity back up to the place it was when she’d briefly been a cheerio she was off jocks.
“So how do you want to do this?” she watched Mike say from where he was now reading her worksheet while her eyes were scanning his.
Both sheets saying the same general things how they ‘met’ where they ‘lived’ what their financial status was.
“Tonight’s assignment is to get to know your spouses and familiarize yourself with your worksheet as those will be needed to help you fulfill your tasks for the next two weeks.”
It was then that the bell rang.
“The next fourteen days should be fun,” Mike said causing her to nod as he walked out of the room…
“Yea,” she mumbled to herself, “fun.”
THE END
However I most likely will play round with this verse some more at a later date and show more of their ‘marriage’
