Ashleigh was standing by Sam's locker, staring at Sam...

"Here. Don't tell anyone, and you don't have to thank me." Ashleigh said, holding out some money.

"Ash, what are you doing?" Sam asked, seeing Ashleigh holding the money out to him.

"Dude, it's only $80. J... just take the money. I know what you've been up to, and it has to stop." Said Ashleigh.

"What are you talking about?" Sam asked, whispering lowly.

"Well, last week I found a shortcut between my locker and the parking lot. Walking through the cafeteria cuts out like 15 seconds from my daily routine. Yesterday, I saw something." Ashleigh tells him.

Ashleigh explained seeing Sam stuffing his bag with pasta.

"Listen, I know your dad's been struggling, and I just simply want to help you. You're my friend. Help feed your family. Hunger's a big problem in this country. Although so is obesity, which is confusing." Said Ashleigh.

"Okay, Ash, can you promise to keep a secret?" Sam asked.

"Yeah. Sure." Ashleigh mumbled.

"I have been stealing pasta. But it's not for dinner. It's... it's art." Sam tells her.

Ashleigh furrowed her eyebrows, and Sam covered her eyes, leading her to the room.

Sam slowly uncovered her eyes, and Ashleigh slowly opened her eyes, staring in front of her.

"So... what do you think?" Sam asked.

"Are those macaroni portraits?" Ashleigh asked.

"They're my guilty pleasure. My art teacher thinks I'm some sort of genius like the ugly guy in Shine, except with macaroni." Sam says.

Ashleigh was drawn to one of the portraits standing in front of it, tilting her head slightly.

"Wow, you were drawn to that one. Which is actually good because that's half you and half Blaine." Sam said.

"Wow. Sam, that... that is amazing. The macaroni really captures us. Thank you for sharing this with me." Ashleigh mumbled.

"Whoa, whoa, not so fast. It's your turn."

"My turn for what?" Asked Ashleigh

"My turn for what?" Asked Ashleigh.

"Your guilty pleasure." Sam said.

"I... I don't have a guilty pleasure." Ashleigh muttered.

"You're lying. Everybody's got one thing that they like that they're totally ashamed of and refuse to admit to anybody." Sam tells her.

"I love... uh, I love... Wham." Ashleigh whispered turning around, frowning at herself and scrunching up her face.

"What?" Asked Sam.

"The band Wham! They're totally my favourite band of all time." Ashleigh says.

"Uh, I thought that was Blaine's favourite band..." Sam said.
