"Nice to meet you Kara, I'm Sam."

Quinn and I walked through the halls of McKinley High, chatting when we spotted Rachel at her locker. We exchanged a look, linking arms before we made out way over to her.

"I thought you weren't allowed here." Quinn said when we reached Rachel's locker.

"I'm permitted on school grounds as long as I'm getting my work." Rachel said, closing her locker. "Oh, I wanted to tell you both that I'm available for vocal coaching if you need any help. We need to bring our 'A' game if we have any chance of beating the Trouble Tones."

"Oh, we're not going to have any trouble with them." Quinn said matter-of-factly, confusing both me and Rachel. "Not as soon as I have Shelby Corcoran fired."

"Why would she be fired?" I asked confusedly, unlinking my arm from Quinn's. Quinn looked around, checking that Ms. C wasn't around.

"She's sleeping with Puck." Quinn said, lowering her voice so only Rachel and I could hear her. My face contorted with disgust and Rachel's jaw dropped slightly.

"Look, that a really, really dangerous rumour to make up, okay? You're gonna ruin her entire reputation." Rachel said worriedly.

"That's the plan. And it's not a lie. I heard it from Puck." Quinn said defensively.

"Okay, first of all, Puck is 18, so what he and Shelby are doing, even though it's wrong and disgusting, It's not illegal." I pointed out to Quinn, crossing my arms.

"Yeah, so all you're doing is you're just, you're getting her fired, which is gonna take away her income to provide food and clothes and put a roof over her child's tiny little blonde head." Rachel added.

"Sounds like an unfit mother. And I'll be waiting in the wings when they take Beth away from her." Quinn said, her voice void of all emotion.

"Beth loves her mom. Shelby is her real mom. Look, you've done a lot of really bad things, Quinn, but if you tell people about this Puck-and-Shelby thing, you'll be ruining this little girl's life, and then you'll have really hit rock bottom." Rachel said before walking away from us.

"Quinn, I'm sorry but Rachel's right. You know you can't do this." I said sighing. I adjusted my bag over my shoulder and smiled softly at her. "I have to go and find Tina, I'll see you later. But just really think about this, okay?" I said before also leaving to find Tina.

Mr. Schue, Finn and I were in the choir room, looking through songs, trying to decide on a set list but so far we were having no luck.

"Sectionals is in our auditorium for the first time since 1963." Finn stated pacing around the room.

"Too much talking, not enough looking for songs for Sectionals. We need to do something upbeat." Mr. Schue said in a sing-song voice.

"Mr. Schue, maybe we need to concentrate on our performer problem before we set a set list." I said, stretching my back out as I had been hunched over for way too long.

"Yeah, I mean,at least the Cheerios can dance. We need star power." Finn paused, thinking for a second. "We need Sam Evans."

"Sam Evans? Whose Sam Evans?" I asked confusedly but both Mr. Schue and FInn ignored me.

"Sam transferred. His whole family moved. We don't even know where he is." Mr. Schue said, shrugging his shoulders.

"He's in Kentucky. It's just across the border form Cincinnati. It's about four hours from here. Even homeless people have Facebook."
