(Mercedes P.O.V)

I walked down the very familar hallways of William McKinley High School. I was surprising the Glee club for Valentine's day which is in a couple of weeks. As I entered the room everyone's jaw fell. Including the one and only Sam Evans.

"Hi everybody." I smiled.

"Mercedes!" Finn laughed and rushed to hug me.

"Oh my God what are you doing here?" Artie smiled hugging me as well.

"Glad to see you diva !" Joe pulled me into a hug.

"Well, Im on break from school so I decided to come and visit." I grinned at everyone.

"Well have a seat ! We were just talking about how were having diva week." Finn said.

"And now we have the one and only Mercedes Jones ? This is nothing but God !" Unique clapped.

"It's nice to see you Mercedes." Sam gave me that lopsided smile.

"Hi Mercedes, we missed you." Brittany cut in. I could'nt help but notice that their hands were entertwined. Surprisingly it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

"Well sing something . You are legenday here." Jake stated while hugging Marley.

"No-" I started but I was cut off by Artie.

"C'mon Cedes, Shower us with that wonderful voice."

"Alright." I laughed.

I stood up and sat on the stool by the piano.

"I don't wanna be left behind. Distance was a friend of mine. Catching breath in a web of lies. I've spent most of my life riding waves, playing acrobat. Shadowboxing the other half learning how to react. I've spent most of my time." I sang.

"Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of the show. Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told it's supposed to be right" I belted.

Throughout the song I made eye contact with everyone in the room. For some reason the person that held the eye contact with me for the longest was a brown haired- brown eyed boy. I've seen him before but I dont remember anything else about him.

After I finished everyone hooped and hollared and I just sat there and blushed.

"Okay guys, that's it for the day." Finn smiled and everyone left. I was walking down the hallway, about to leave to my car.

"Hey Mercedes. Wait up !" I turned around and it was the boy from earlier.

"You were amazing, I mean ab- Im sorry, Im Ryder Lynn. Im a sophomore here at McKinley. I've heard a lot about you and no one even touched to describe how gifted and beautiful you really are." He started.

"Im sorry, that probably sounded really cheesy."

"No, it wasn't. Thanks for the compliments." I smiled. I could tell my smile was causing him to smile. There was an awkward silence for a few moments before he stepped closer to me.

"That song you sang in there really made me fall for you." He smiled as I laughed nervously.

"Ryder, I'm 18..." I trailed off.

"I don't care, we have something. I can tell that you know that too. Age doesn't even cross my mind when I think of you" He smiled.

I didn't even think before I stood on my tippy toes and pressed my lips on his. He smiled into the kiss and his hands went to my ass before I stuck my tongue in his mouth. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he put all the passion in his body into that kiss.

"You're amazing." I smiled.
