"Damn" Quinn thought to herself. "Will he ever stop texting me? Get over it, I have." She told herself this every morning, because every morning she'd wake up to a text from Puck that said 'I'm sorry.' Luckily, after awhile he stopped showing up at her house and trying to catch up to her at school, but he had sent her that text every single morning.

It's been two months since the song Quinn did in Glee. Mr. Schuester had been pretty great about keeping Quinn and Puck apart in the numbers. Very rarely did she have to sit by him or dance anywhere near him. Occasionally they had to pass by one another in a routine, but they were never paired together.

"Okay guys, we are going to be working in groups for this assignment. You pick the song and dance but fate picks the groups. I will place all your names in a hat and will pick three groups of four," Mr. Schuester wrote down the names and as everyone was talking and waiting for him to be finished, Quinn got up and walked over to him.

"Quinn, I'm sorry, but I may not be able to keep you guys apart" Mr. Schue genuinely looked sad for her.

"It's okay," Quinn said. She continued, " I'm over it now, I just wanted to know if we had to wear specific outfits and dress up or if that was up to us?"

"Um, completely up to you, thanks for bringing that up."

Quinn went back to her seat and Mr. Schue stood up. "Quinn brought up a good point guys. You can wear matching outfits or costumes but you do not have to if you don't want to," he said. At the sound of Quinn's name, Puck instantly looked up. She had that affect on him, even though he knew she hated his guts.

"Okay, the groups are: Mike, Artie, Santana, and Mercedes; Finn, Quinn, Puck, and Tina; and Rachel, Sam, Brittany, and Kurt." When Quinn realized she was in a group with Puck, she cursed to herself but didn't want to let it get to her. Puck smiled to himself, but pretended he hadn't noticed.

"Mr. Schuester, if I may" Rachel started, " I don't think these groups are good, I don't think any of us get along really." She was obviously doing this for Quinn. Oddly enough, over the past few months Rachel and Quinn had been becoming friends, often because Rachel would let Finn partner with Quinn and she'd work with Puck so Quinn wouldn't have to deal with it.

"I'm sorry Rachel, the groups are set" Mr. Schuester said, "Get to work, you have until the end of midterm week, right before Winter break."

Rachel sadly looked over to Quinn, who nodded at Rachel, as a thank you but that it was okay.

Finn, Quinn, Tina, and Puck gathered to one side of the room. They all threw out ideas and decided on doing an 80s song that would be fun. Quinn did not look in Puck's direction at all the entire time, much to his dismay. They decided Finn and Quinn would take the first part of the song, Puck and Tina the second, and all of them sharing the chorus. They also agreed that choreography would be spontaneous, mostly so they wouldn't risk Puck and Quinn having to dance with each other.

Every week, outside of the Glee practices, they would get together in the Auditorium to rehearse, Finn and Tina doing anything they could to keep Puck and Quinn apart. Luckily, it worked. Before any of them new it performances were finished, the only contact Puck and Quinn made was a cheesy, half-hearted high five after they performed. Neither of them would admit it, but they had fun with the performance. All of them wearing bright neon colors, the girls with teased hair and leg warmers, while the boys wore baggy wind pants; it was fun and goofy. The other groups had classic partner work and better partner relations that Quinn's group, but no one complained about anything.

Quinn was ready to pack up her stuff from her locker and leave on vacation for Christmas. She was going to Florida to visit her sister. Originally, last Christmas Quinn was going to go there, but Puck wanted her to stay and spend all vacation with him. She was now regretting that decision. She said goodbye to Mercedes, Kurt, and Rachel after Glee and hurried to get some things from her locker. She got some pictures she had that her sister would like to see, got some clothes she had in there, and was ready to go. She practically ran through the hallways, her mother waiting for her at the front of the school ready to head to the airport. Barely paying attention she ran past empty rooms and smacked right into someone coming out of one of the doors, dropping her stuff.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention" Quinn started before looking up to see Puck. Silently, she started picking up everything as quickly as possible. "S'okay" Puck said attempting to help Quinn pick stuff up. She took the stuff from his hands, stood up, and turned quickly to leave. "Thanks" She said as she was running, A bit faster than before, towards the doors.

Puck turned to leave and notice Quinn forgot something. He bent down to pick it up and a small smile appeared on his face. It was a picture of him holding Beth at the hospital as Quinn watched on. He was happy to know she didn't throw the picture away. He tucked it into his wallet and left for vacation; maybe things weren't as bad as he thought.

Quinn's winter break was amazing. She came back a week later than everyone else did, but she didn't care. Everyone was still envious of her. She missed the warm weather Florida had because she came back to freezing weather. This didn't stop her from wearing a cute dress that showed off her newly tanned body. Boy did everyone notice her even more now. She was happy to see everyone being in awe of her again and not just seeing her as Quinn whose boyfriend cheated on her in the school. She went to her locker to put her stuff away, as her happiness faded. She looked over to see Santana walking towards Puck. Not that she wanted Puck back, but she thought he'd be smart enough to at least hide the fact he was still sleeping with Santana from the school because a lot of people were pissed about it. But Quinn wasn't seeing what she thought she was.

"Hey baby, wanna take a trip to the janitor's closet" Santana said as she ran her finger down Puck's chest.

"No. Thanks" Puck said sounding disgusted as he shut his locker and turned. Santana walked with him. "Come on baby, you know you want to. It's been way too long since we had fun in the bathroom."

"Like I told you after that and every time you've asked since then, I'm not interested. Find someone Else's life to ruin" Puck said sharply to her.

"Jeez Puck, Quinn's not going to forgive you and you won't find anything better than this" she pointed down her body, "You'll come back eventually, so we might as well start now."

"Santana!" he was yelling now, "I am not interested in anything you have to offer. Cool it and LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE."

"You're missing out and you know it" she yelled back at him, "whatever if you want to keep thinking Miss Goody-Goody will give you another shot go ahead, but I'm gonna have some fun with someone else, who hasn't turned into a little bitch."

"GREAT!" he said putting his hands up in a mocking way. He turned and walked away from Santana, who now had bright red cheeks and everyone staring at her.

Quinn could not believe what she just witnessed. It felt good to see Santana embarrassed in front of everyone, but it didn't change anything.

After all her classes, Quinn was happy for Glee. The first couple of minutes she spent catching up with Mercedes and Rachel, as Kurt just played with her hair taking about how jealous he was that she had a tan. Mr. Schuester came in and on the white board wrote, 'GIRLS VS. BOYS'! Everyone in the room was cheering and high fiving. Before anyone could say anything, Mr. Schuester made them divide and said "Kurt, boy's side." Kurt grumpily went to the boy's side, as Rachel chimed in, "Mr. Schuester, we'd gladly give up Santana for Kurt. We all know she's just like a male." The girls all giggled as Santana rolled her eyes, but she didn't disagree. "Then again, some of those boys have girlfriends and we wouldn't want Santana to ruin anyone else's happiness" Quinn said, and added quieter, "Again." She covered her mouth quickly. Did she really just say that out loud? Oh well. Mercedes snaped her fingers mockingly with the bigges smile on her face. The room erupted with many conversations. "Okay, Okay settle down everyone. Get started, boys go first next Wednesday and girls are Thursday" Mr. Schuester chimed in.

The groups were both discussing ideas. Santana saying she thought they should do a sexy mash-up that involved tight outfits and dancing. The only one who was actually paying attention to her was Brittany. "Um never," Mercedes said rudely to Santana as they went on to discuss other ideas. They finally decided on a perfect mash-up! They knew they would be standing their ground, taking a not so obvious jab at Santana, and would be making a bold statement about their male counterparts. They decided on wearing baggy sweat pants with tight tank tops, hair pulled back into high ponytails with bandannas as accessories. Their performance would be amazing with killer choreography, thanks to Brittany.

The boys decided on doing something for Puck. They know he was still broken up about Quinn and they also knew he hadn't even thought about another girl since the Santana fiasco four months ago. They decided to let Puck decide what songs to do. He had a few thoughts and before they knew it their songs were also picked. They seemed to be mostly directed towards Quinn, but a lot of the boys were having problems with their relationships because their girlfriends didn't want anything like what happened to Quinn, to happen to them. They chose dark jeans with various color t-shirts. Minimal choreography, if any at all, because Mike knew what to do and no one else did.

In a week, the performances would begin and only one group could win.
