Chapter 1
Kurt was running late today, something that was rare for him. He could have sworn that his alarm had been set for the right time the night before, but he was clearly wrong. He showered quickly and started getting ready to head out as soon as possible, not able to really put an outfit together or do his hair properly. As he ran past his dad he said a quick goodbye.
As he got into his car he remembered to check the time and realized he would completely miss his first class and would be late getting into the second one. Most kids would've been pleased with these turn of events but Kurt's second class was French and he wasn't looking forward to being late.
By the time he pulled into the school French was about to start in only a couple of minutes. He jumped out of his car, locking it and rushing towards his class with his bag on his arm. He was really relieved that he wouldn't be too late because he didn't want any chance of running into any jocks in the hallway when he was completely alone.
He got into class and noticed two seats available. One was near the new kid who he couldn't remember the name of and the other was near Azimio. His decision didn't take him more than a few seconds as he took his seat next to the new kid. "Anyone sitting here?" he asked, just to be polite. Even though he hadn't seen the kid talk to anyone since he had been here.
The boy looked up and shook his head silently. This was the first time Kurt actually looked at him. He had what Kurt could tell was unruly curly hair, even though it was covered in gel. His skin was slightly tan but not unnaturally so and he had eyebrows that were in the shape of triangles. Kurt couldn't dwell too long on that though, because then his noticed his eyes. He couldn't tell if they were green or golden so he just decided on hazel, but that didn't seem like a good enough word because he had never really seen that eye color before. And even though the boy was sitting down Kurt could tell he was shorter than him and he couldn't deny that he found that fact completely adorable.
Kurt realized he was staring and looked away before someone (especially the adorable boy next to him). He took out his textbook and tried to focus on what the teacher was saying. Apparently the bell rang and class started and Kurt hadn't even noticed. He was too busy noticing the new kid sitting next to him. "I'm Kurt." He whispered, smiling at the other boy.
The boy only nodded slightly and went back to drawing. Well, damn. Kurt had never met someone so unfriendly before in his life. The kid wouldn't even look at him! He had obviously heard some kind of rumors about him being gay and didn't want to catch his disease. It wouldn't be the first time that had happened to him but he had never been outright ignored like this before.
He decided that two could play at this game and he ignored the boy the rest of the class period, trying to give off the impression that he knew he was better than him. He wasn't sure if his message had gotten through or not but by the time the bell rang the new kid was out of his seat and out of the door as quickly as he could manage without making a scene.
For some reason this guy still held his interest, even though Kurt knew he shouldn't. There was something about him that made him hard to ignore. Kurt wasn't sure what it was but he figured it might have something to do with his eyes.
