Still with Blaine and Jake...
"Come on, be a man, Jake. Tell me face-to-face. I just told you mine." Said Blaine.
"Fine. My whole life, I've never felt like I fit in. Not anywhere." Jake tells him.
"Why?" Asked Blaine.
"Dude, I'm half-white, half-black, and half-Jewish. And just in case I forget... someone always reminds me. It was only Ashleigh that sort of treated me normal; she made me feel like I belonged in that Glee Club." Jake says.
Blaine nodded.
"For... for what it's worth, I don't think you should leave." Jake mumbled.
"I thought you'd be jumping for joy." Blaine muttered. "She hates me. I mean, she can't possibly hate me anymore than I hate myself."
"She doesn't hate you." Jake tells him.
Blaine scoffed.
"No, really. I think she hates herself more for not hating you. I see it every time you walk past or someone's talking bad about you... she loves you, Blaine." Said Jake.
"It doesn't matter, Jake. I'm leaving McKinley, and I'm not coming back." Blaine tells him.
"Then you're an idiot. And blind. And a moron." Jake said.
Back with Ashleigh and Ryder, they were in the library, and Ashleigh was helping him study...
"Okay. I want you to read some of this now." Ashleigh says.
"What? Like right now?" Asked Ryder.
"Yeah... is there a problem?" Ashley asked.
Ryder looked down at the book, biting his lip.
"Ryder, look, I can't help you study if you're not being honest with me. I need to know what you are hiding." Ashleigh says.
"You'll laugh." Ryder muttered.
"I won't. I promise." Ashleigh said.
"Forget it. The whole thing was stupid." Ryder tells her.
Ryder placed the book back in front of Ashleigh, standing up from the table.
"Come on. Stop." Ashleigh said, grabbing his hand and stopping him from walking away. "Just tell me."
"I... I... I can't read." Ryder murmured.
"Oh. Okay, well, I don't see why you'll think I laugh at that. But that makes perfect sense when you... you think about it."
