Puck stood in the school courtyard with his two best friends, Finn and Sam, discussing their summer.

Not that Puck had much to tell since the news that his girlfriend Quinn had broken up with him had already spread around.

They all probably thought he had been sulking the whole summer.

"Yo, Puckerman!" the three boys stopped talking as Dave Karofsky approached them. "I heard about Q, man. What a bummer you couldn't keep her, huh? Now your reputation will be ruined."

Puck snorted, "My rep has never had anything to do with Quinn, dude. Besides, I can have anyone I want in this stupid town."

One look at Dave s expression and Finn and Sam knew this wasn t going to end well.

"Yeah? You're willing to bet on that?" Dave challenged.

Puck turned to look as Sam put a hand on his shoulder, "Don't get into this, dude."

Puck never backed down out of a bet, or a dare, so why would he back out of this? He ignored the warning to be careful with Karofsky, "Name the conditions."

Dave smirked, "Well, I'll pick out one person whom you will have to make your new lover, then you'll have to make sure she'll become Prom Queen."

Puck raised his eyebrow, "You do know that Quinn will do anything to be Prom Queen, don't you."

Karofsky smirked widely slinging his arm around Puck s shoulders and steered him around Finn and Sam who continued to follow behind.

"That's exactly the point here, Puck. So, are you in or not?"

Just then Puck caught sight of his ex-girlfriend kissing her newest victim, a local celebrity.

It stung, but it also helped make his decision. Karofsky, who had been following Puck's gaze, knew what he was gonna say before he said it out loud.

"I'm in."

Karofsky did a mental victory dance.

"Alright! Let's find ourselves a victim!"

-..-

Kurt stumbled out of his father's car, music sheets under one arm, satchel under the other.

"Bye dad," he called out, giving him a quick wave.

"Bye son," Burt called back, "Have a nice day at school."

Kurt gave a small smile and a curt nod before he ran to the school's courtyard.

Not watching where he was going, he stumbled over one of the small steps. He was able to stop himself from faceplanting to the floor, but he couldn't stop the music sheets from dropping out under his arm.

"Oh, damn it!"

-.-

Puck, Karofsky, Sam and Finn all watched the resident fairy scramble to pick up his papers, all four of them snickering a little.

Suddenly a lightbulb went on in Karofsky's head. He had found the perfect victim.

"Well, Puckerman." he said punching Puck's shoulder, "Guess we found your new lover."

"What?" Puck asked, looking from Kurt to Karofsky, "But he's a boy."

"Barely," Karofsky laughed, Finn and Sam both sniggering a little as well. "He's perfect for our bet."

Puck shook his head while Finn and Sam stared at him in amusement.

"What?" Karofsky said with an arrogant smirk on his face, "Don't tell me you're chickening out."

That was something Puck never did and Karofsky knew it.

He turned to the taller boy and held out his hand.

"I'll do it."

Karofsky shook Puck's hand, while Finn and Sam shook their heads. They both knew this was going to cause trouble.

The three boys left, leaving Puck alone to stare at his new "love interest".

He swallowed hard as he watched the boy pick up his papers and scurry away into the crowd.

This was gonna be a hell of a task.
