Mercedes who day flew by. She missed most of the lessons and she only paid enough attention in glee club to see Sam pour his broken heart out to his ex girlfriend while his new girlfriend looked on hatefully.

When the last bell rang, Mercedes exited the building and made her way to her car.

"Hello?" she said answering her cell phone.

"Where's the fire, Diva?" Kurt's voice said on the other end.

"I'm sorry. I've been distracted." Mercedes said leaning against her car.

"It's the whole Samtana thing isn't it? Yeah, that's just wrong on so many levels." Kurt said.

"I had the chance to tell him Kurt, and I didn't. He could be mine right now but I was stupid and I didn't say anything." Mercedes said. "So, I guess I have to wait a little longer."

"Mercedes Jones." Kurt said, his voice close. She turned around to see him standing beside her car with his hands on his hips. "Where has the waiting game gotten you?"

"No where." Mercedes said dropping her phone back in her purse.

"Exactly. The schoolhouse gods have thrown the blonde Adonis in your lap. Use it to your advantage." Kurt said walking around the car to join her.

"He has a girlfriend. Again." Mercedes said exasperated.

"You need to start playing Santana's game." Kurt said grinning. "Bitch verses bitch."

"What? I am not getting on the train to crazy town." Mercedes said shaking her head no.

"Come on Mercedes. You want Sam, right?" Kurt asked. He waited for her reply before continuing. "Right?"

"You know I do." Mercedes finally answered.

"Then play dirty to get him. I'm assuming that Sam, like most boys, is completely oblivious to the fact that he is being flirted with. So, flirt shamelessly with him, but make sure to slip in little snipes about Santana and he won't know who to believe." Kurt said smiling.

"I don't know Kurt. That seems wrong." Mercedes said.

"If you want to spend every day watching Santana sucking on Sam's bottom lip then don't try my idea but I know how you feel about him. I'm only trying to help."

"I know. Thank you. I'll think about it." Mercedes said hugging her best friend. They waved goodbye and Mercedes drove home. Kurt's idea kept running through her mind.

"What do I have to lose?" She thought out loud. "A boy I never had in the first place. Ok, Mercedes Jones, it's time you entered the race to win Sam Evan's heart.
