-Blaine p.o.v-
This kid must be extremely clever, the last person to gain a full scholarship to this school is now one of the most successful business men in the world. I tried to stop myself from laughing at his expression as we walked round campus. I felt really bad for him, this school was not going to be easy for him to fit into, everyone here has every gadget and gizmo on the planet and then there is him, he doesn’t even know how to work a mobile phone. When we reached the library his face was even more hilarious, he muttered something about his life now being complete. He seemed really sweet and he was gorgeous, who cares if he can’t work a phone, his hair is so perfect and I have to keep reminding myself to stop staring at him, I wouldn’t want him to catch me drooling over him.
Nick and Jeff were being their usual outgoing cheerful selves, I am envious of how they can be so open about their relationship while I keep myself firmly shut up in the closet, not wanting anyone to know because I have to keep an image up. We had showed him round almost the whole school. Our last stop was sports, he saw the track and the pitches and his eyes were like saucers. Suddenly Nick caught sight of the guys, I instantly felt uneasy, sure my friends are great but they can be very judgemental and many of them are very spoilt, I looked at Kurt who was still gaping at the track, I had to think of something and quickly,
“Hey Kurt, race you to the track?” he looked round in surprise and grinned nodding. Before I even had time to think he was sprinting away from me, he was so fast, I hadn’t been expecting that. He was like a bullet, he suddenly tripped, I held my breath as I continued to run. To my complete and utter shock he did a forward roll and continued to run. I heard Nick and Jeff shout,
“Go Hummel!” I heard him laughing ahead of me.
I reached the track, where he was waiting for me grinning. I saw Nick and Jeff talking to the guys, praying they didn’t say anything. I said,
“Kurt where the hell did you learn to run that fast,” he looked momentarily pained before replying,
“When you have bullied like I have, you learn to run fast especially when you know that if you get caught you are in for it,” I bit my lip as he fiddled with the hem of his t-shirt,
“Oh, sorry Kurt, I didn’t know,” he shook his head and began to beam again, I had to tear my eyes away from his face and I panicked slightly as I saw the guys coming over with Nick and Jeff. I glanced back at Kurt as they all reached us. Sebastian is what people would call the ‘leader’ he is alright, very arrogant and cocky but then again most of the guys round here are. He looked at Kurt and said,
“You must be Kurt?” Kurt nodded timidly and Sebastian continued, “Sebastian, I rule this school, my dad is the famous lawyer Matthew Smythe. What about you? Mom, dad?” everyone was looking at him expectantly. He looked down before saying,
“6 feet under,” they all looked momentarily confused before realisation showed on their faces. This was going to be like what happened with us, when he told us. Sebastian said,
“Oh, sorry dude. So they left you like a fortune, or something, tell us how much? Where are you from, who do you live with now?” Kurt looked so ashamed of himself, he said,
“I don’t have a fortune, nothing of the sorts, I lived at a home called, Maple Leaf Manor, not much of a manor though,” Sebastian cut him off before he could say anymore,
“If you don’t have a fortune why are you here?” I knew this wasn’t going to go down well, Sebastian would never let Kurt hang with us just because he doesn’t have money. Kurt looked at Sebastian and said,
“I am here on full scholarship,” Sebastian smirked and sneered,
“So you are poor, what the hell were you thinking?” I saw the hurt in Kurt’s eyes, I wanted to step in but I didn’t really want to have to deal with Sebastian later, Sebastian laughed and said, “well, stay away from me and my friends, Blaine come one nerd boy needs to go and study,” I had to go and I think even Kurt knew that. I saw a stray tear drop down his cheek as he looked at the floor. Sebastian began to make snarky comments about Kurt, loud enough for him to hear as we walked away. I glanced back and saw Kurt looking around obviously trying to work out which way to go.
-Kurt p.o.v-
I knew Blaine would have to go with this guy, it was clear that he controlled everyone. I tried to hold my tears. I noticed Blaine glance back a sorry expression plastered on his face. It made me feel a little better knowing someone cared.
It took me about 40 minutes to find my dorm. I had been crying, my eyes focused fully on the ground so nobody would know. I slipped into the room and ran to my bed, I just lay there crying. He was right, I shouldn’t be here. I slipped into a restless sleep tears staining my cheeks.
-Blaine p.o.v-
Nick, Jeff and I eventually managed to slip away from Sebastian, I felt so guilty about what happened with Kurt. We all rushed back to our dorm, we heard sniffles, coming from Kurt’s bed, I slowly went over and saw he was crying in his sleep, his pale , porcelain face was red and blotchy, what Sebastian had said must have really hit him hard. These are the times I really hate Sebastian. He began to cry harder and I thought I should wake him. I gently shook his shoulder,
“Kurt? Kurt come on,” he whimpered and his eyes fluttered open and his deep blue eyes stared at me. He shot up desperately trying to wipe his tears away. I sat on his bed and said,
“I am so sorry about Sebastian, I wanted to ignore him but...” Kurt cut me off,
“It is fine, he is right, I am an idiot for coming here, I should never have even dreamed about fitting in. I felt even worse now,
“Kurt, don’t listen to a word Sebastian says, he is arrogant and cocky and he doesn’t care about anyone else, he likes to make other people feel inferior, it gives him power, you can’t give in to him, promise?” he nodded sniffling a bit. I was satisfied with that.
That evening the 4 of us ate dinner outside. I saw Sebastian and the others all at a table. Sebastian kept calling over,
“Oi orphan boy, where did you get your clothes, I don’t even think they make the cut for a charity shop,” I kept telling Kurt to ignore him, however when everyone can hear Sebastian’s insults which are so lame it is unbelievable. We finished and Kurt got up first. We walked past Sebastian and he tripped Kurt up, everyone laughed. Kurt got up and dusted himself off. Kurt and I went for a went for a walk and returned to the eating place to see it deserted, Kurt went over to the table to get the book which he had left there. Suddenly I heard Sebastian’s voice yell,
“Get him!” in seconds Kurt was being pelted with every food that the cafeteria served, along with raw eggs which Sebastian appeared to have bought especially for the occasion. Kurt looked at me, I just looked down, Sebastian hadn’t told me about this.
Everyone left after that and Kurt just stood there covered in the food. I went over to him and saw tears were cascading down his cheeks. I took his hand and grabbed his book which was also covered in food and said,
“Come on lets go and get you cleaned up,” he nodded and allowed me to lead him from the area.
-Mr Day p.o.v-
I had seen the whole thing, I watched more content as Blaine took Kurt’s hand leading him from the area. It made me feel much better knowing that he had someone like Blaine. Blaine must be one of the only kids here who is not stuck up, he is really sweet and gracious. He is always willing to help.
-Blaine p.o.v-
I took Kurt back to the dorm, people were laughing at him as we walked along, his eyes were fixed on his food covered shoes. I opened the door and saw Jeff and Nick stood there, they saw Kurt and looked so guilty. I sent him into the bathroom to get cleaned up, tears were still leaking down his cheeks. I couldn’t believe Sebastian, he was never this harsh. As soon as the shower turned on Nick asked,
“What happened?” I explained to them about Sebastian and everything.
I had just finished explaining as the water turned off. The door unlocked and Kurt came out of the bathroom framed by steam. He looked down as he saw us looking, he had a towel wrapped firmly round his tiny waist, I was kind of shocked, I could see all his ribs.; he was way too skinny. He went to his drawers and took out a pair of boxers and a t-shirt. I looked over and gasped in shock. He whipped round and his face showed sudden realisation, I ran towards him,
“Kurt what are these,” He shrank away from me. I turned him round staring in almost despair at the huge red scars which covered his back. He slipped his t-shirt in and whispered,
“Nothing Blaine, don’t worry about it,” he went over to his bed avoiding Nick and Jeff’s gaze, he snuggled under the covers and wrapped them tightly round him. I sighed and went over to him,
“Kurt I am not going to force you to tell me but I want you to know that no matter what happens I will always be here to talk, if you want to tell me you can, even if I walk away with Sebastian it is because that is my place but I never want to hurt you and I want you to know I am always there for you and I will never ever treat you like he does, okay?” he nodded and quietly said,
“Thank-you Blaine,” I smiled and he shut his eyes. Jeff and Nick gave me the look that they understood and that they would do the same before we all settled into bed, following Kurt’s lead. We had lessons tomorrow which meant an early start.
