Trouble Follows

Ch. 4

It'd been three weeks since school started and Mercedes realized something that she always knew; she loved school! It was so different than high school! State might not be Pepperdine but there were definite upsides of going to college.

She and Quinn were making friends on campus and Marcy introduced them to a few people she met her first go round up there and it was really amazing. People were so different than high schoolers. They were so chill (well most) and just wanted to have a good time.

Marcy, Quinn and Mercedes were taking a philosophy course and the conversations they had were insane. Right now they were just rambling but their professor just let them talk, guiding the conversation back to the point when it veered too far off and brought up other view points when they got stuck.

He and their Great American Writers professor were just like Mercedes' freshman English teacher at McKinley. Passionate about their subject and actually knew what the hell they were talking about.

The GAW professor even looked like him. A young guy who wore collared shirts and waistcoats with jeans and the best yet; jordans!

School had been so awesome that she almost told Finn and Artie no when they asked her to come back to help with the school play. Mr. Shue left to do something artistic (Finn told them what it was but she wasn't really listening) and put Finn and Artie in charge of the play and Finn in charge of glee club.

Mercedes was happy for them all but she wanted to focus on her new life. But Artie buttered her up and she fell for it. The good thing was she'd get to see those guys again.

The best part was Mike was coming back to show them how to dance. He was home last weekend but he spent most of his time with Tina. He promised he'd pay attention to his sisters while he was home.

Kurt landed his dream job at Vogue. It was an unpaid internship but it was a foot in the door! And he and his boss helped Rachel with her style. He bullied her into changing, citing that she was an adult now and had to keep her man happy.

And Mercedes hadn't thrown up in three days!

If morning sickness was on its way out, she was so ecstatic!

W.O

Puck never thought he would say this is a million years but school rocked! He didn't think he would get into it like he did but he liked going to classes and finding people to hang out with.

He and Finn mainly hung around with the music kids but they joined a few clubs that hosted these parties that got wild as hell. His math class was pretty boring but at least he understood it and didn't have to worry about feeling stupid.

But that Psyche class was on a different planet. Their professor was this stuffy old dude that kept cracking jokes they didn't get until they went over the reading.

He'd tell a joke and just leave it alone until they came back to class the next session and tell him they understood. Then he'd ask them to point it out in the book, snickering like a little kid the whole time.

Puck liked him but Finn was especially his favorite because he'd be just as excited to tell him about what he'd read.

Speaking of Finn, he was busy with glee club. He was geeked that Mr. Shue trusted him to run the club and was worried about letting him down.

Puck told him not to worry but he didn't listen. They were just lucky the play went off without a hitch. Well almost. Unique couldn't play Rizzo so Santana came down to but Mercedes was heated on her behalf.

Puck tuned that high school bullshit out because he don't care about none of that anymore. Too bad he had to hear about some stuff because Jake was having problems with a girl. He liked one but another kid did, too.
