"Now what you may not know about The Drifters is that there have been more than 60 different vocalists associated with the group and its splinter groups , splinter groups being to bands what spin-offs are to television shows" Will said. "Now out of those members only seven have actually been individually inducted into the Hall of Fame."

"Why were there so many?"

"That's a very good question Tina, you see…

Puck didn't listen to two words Will said, neither did Quinn, although she did a much better job of hiding it. As he glared at the girl he loved but couldn't stand at the same time she put all of her effort in to pretending not to notice him glaring at her.

"So, you watch any Bio-Dome lately?" Puck whispered to Quinn.

"First of all I told you that in confidence, and for your information the only reason I watched that movie—"

"Six times" Puck interrupted.

"Yes, six times, is because my nephew loves it okay? It's the only thing that keeps him quiet when I'm babysitting, hey you know, maybe I should try it on you" Quinn said.

"Okay, that concludes our look at doo wop" Will said. "It is one O'clock so were going to break for lunch and we'll meet At the Mamas and The Papas exhibit at two to start our sunshine pop section, which we'll be ending with the Beach Boys exhibit.

Tina squealed, prompting everyone to look in her direction.

"Uh, I was trying not to sneeze" Tina said.


"Kurt looked in shame at Finn and Rachel. They had clearly recovered from the mornings events, as she was enjoying playing a game of impromptu basketball with a sandwich bag full of trail mix and Finn's open mouth."

"That's 23" Finn said, catching a dried cranberry.

"Nuh uh, that was at least 25" Rachel said back, tossing a cashew which he caught with ease.

"24" Finn said.

"Are you even counting?" Rachel said, tossing a raisin.

"You do realize that Kurt's been staring over here this entire time right?" He said, catching the raisin in his mouth.

"Let him sweat it out a little longer, I'm still kind of figuring out what to say to him" she said, tossing an almond.

"Can we talk?" Kurt said from out of nowhere. Surprised by his sudden appearance next to their table Finn caught the almond right in the eye.

"Oww, Jesus!" Finn said placing his hand over his eye.

"Oh, god are you okay?" Rachel said.

"Yeah" Finn answered, still rubbing his reddened eye. "What do you want Kurt?"

Kurt sat down without requesting an invitation.

"I am so sorry about this morning, I acted like a complete child and there was just no excuse."

"You're right, there isn't" Rachel said.

"Can you just hear me out?" Kurt said.

"I just really don't think I'm ready to hear you out yet Kurt" Finn said. "You kissed me in front of my girlfriend."

"Dude, you kissed a guy? Weak." Puck said, passing behind Finn "I gonna make fun of you later." He continued before walking off after Quinn. "Hey, Quinn! I lied, you did look fat that day!"

"Thanks, man it's the kiss that keeps on giving" Finn said sarcastically.

"What can I say to prove to you how sorry I am?" Kurt said.

Rachel said nothing, she just got up from her seat, grabbed Kurt by his tie and pulled him up from the chair. "You stay right there Finn" Rachel said as Finn started to get up. She dragged Kurt out of earshot of the rest of the students and pushed him against the wall.

"Okay, let me make something clear to you, I know you think I'm going to go easy on you because you're a guy, but I'm not. I'm going to treat you just like any other tramp who goes after another girl's boyfriend."

"Like you did?" Kurt said bitchily.

"Turn it around on me, good tactic."

"No I'm serious. What makes what I did any different than what you did to Quinn?"

"You, know for someone who's supposed to be so sorry you're certainly quick to go on the defensive."

"You didn't answer my question."

Rachel just stood there mulling over his question before finally surrendering. "Fine, you're right. I'm no better than you are okay? I went after Finn without considering Quinn's feelings and that was every bit as wrong as what you did to me" Rachel started to cry and sank onto a nearby bench. "Are you happy now?"

"Goddammit" Kurt said before joining Rachel on the bench. He handed her his handkerchief, thinking that if girls were that quick to tears then it was a very good thing that he was into guys.

"Thank you" She said, dabbing her eyes with it.

"I'm sorry, I never should have brought that up" Kurt said.

"No, you're right. Every once in a while I sit and wonder to myself if I even deserve to be happy."

"Rachel, you do deserve to be happy. And if you pursued Finn at the wrong time it was only because you knew he felt something for you too. Me, I have no excuse."

"Can I ask you something Kurt?"

"What?"

"Why Finn? I mean, he's straight. What were you hoping would happen when you kissed him?"

"I don't know. I guess I wasn't really thinking."

"Maybe not when you kissed him but you've liked him for a while, didn't it ever cross your mind that it wasn't going to happen?"

"All the time, and as crazy as this sounds, I think that was the reason I kept trying. There's just something safe in loving someone who you know deep down will never love you back" Kurt admitted. "The worst thing that can happen is what you expect to happen anyway."

Rachel placed her hand on his shoulder and looked at him sympathetically "Kurt, you can't do that to yourself" she said. "One day someone will come along who loves everything about you. And when that day comes you're going to be too distracted kissing straight guys to notice."

That made Kurt chuckle. And as much as he hated to admit it to himself, he was starting to understand what Finn saw in her.

"I'm sorry I slapped you" Rachel continued.

"I deserved it."

"I agree. And I'm still mad at you you know."

"I know."


Quinn Sat with Mercedes, trying in vain to ignore Puck's obnoxious pursuit of her attention.

"So, is puck still being a pain in the ass" Mercedes said.

"Hey Quinn, the music is kind of loud in here, I can actually make out some of the words" Puck said from the lunch table across from her.

"Does that answer your question?" Quinn said.

"Hey Puck, you're awful talkative for a giant can of Axe body spray" Mercedes shot back.

"Thanks" Quinn said.

"I dated him too remember? Trust me, I understand" Mercedes said.

Puck walked up to Quinn and sat next to her.

"I know you think you can just ignore me but trust me, I'm just getting started babe."

"Puck what do you want from me?" Quinn said.

"I want to talk about this."

"And I don't."

"Well, that's just fine, I'll do the talking. Hey Mercedes, did you know that Quinn has to wax her knuckles?"

"That is it!" Quinn said. "Puck, you want to talk, let's talk. Hallway, now!"
