20 minutes later, Kurt walked out of the bathroom, dressed and ready for his first day at Dalton. The old Kurt would have taken 45 minutes to get ready, after all his face creams, hair styling, and picking out his clothes. The new Kurt couldn't care less. He wanted nothing more than to blend into the shadows. He still did his facial routine but, everything else he didn't bother with. Blaine was there, on his phone, waiting for Kurt to finish up. ’He is so sweet, and that blazer really does suit him’. Kurt couldn't help but stare at him. After Kurt was done ogling his roommate he went over to his bed to grab his bag. It was already packed and it had a map out already. "I thought I'd help you out. The good news is that Nick, Jeff or I am in all of your classes." Blaine said startling Kurt as he came up behind him. Kurt stiffened when hearing Blaine's voice. He didn't like people sneaking up behind him. "Sorry I startled you," Blaine said noticing Kurt's discomfort. "So first class you have is AP English with Mr. Bell, Nick is in that class, so he can help you catch up." Blaine explained while they walked out of their room heading to their classes. Kurt stared at Blaine in awe at how much work Blaine has done for him already.  Then when Blaine explained how Nick - ’which one was Nick again?’-was in his class. “You know my schedule already?" Kurt wrote and showed it to Blaine,  "Well I, er, figured I'd,  uh,  get things ready for you and make your first day here at Dalton, uh, er, a good one!" Blaine stumbled out the words hoping he hadn't sounded too dumb. Kurt looked at him with a teasing look and wrote, “Oh how dapper of you Blaine, thanks, no one has ever done that for me." Blaine chuckled, "We should get to class, Nick is saving you a seat." 

Blaine walked Kurt to his English class and surely enough; there was Nick, in the back with an empty seat right next to him. Kurt walked to the back, head lowered and making himself as small as possible to avoid bringing attention to him. Nick looked up and saw Kurt taking the desk right next to him. "Hey Kurt, I don't know of you really remember me. I'm Nick, Blaine's best friend, don't tell Jeff that, he thinks he owns that title," Nick said friendly to him. Kurt just nodded and looked at the board coping down the questions. 

"So, how was your first night here at Dalton?” Kurt just shrugged to Nick’s question.  Nick looked at Kurt wondering why he didn’t talk or really respond back to Nick. ’He is just shy’ Nick thought.

“So Mr. Bell is a pretty easy teacher, right now we are reading Catcher in the Rye, have you read it?” Kurt nodded to Nick, “Well, then you should be good. I can help if you need any.”

Kurt listened to Nick as he explained what was going on and soon the class was full and Mr. Bell started to teach talking about the 10 minute presentations that we would be starting with a partner.  “Okay class, pair up, you and your partner will prepare a 10 minute oral presentation on chapter 8, I expect each member to participate and do equal amounts of talking and presenting.” Mr. Bell explained to the class who were already heading to their partners.  Nick looked over at Kurt wondering if he would be his partner and nodded.  Kurt was internally freaking out, ’I’m going to have to talk, but I can’t no, I can’t its… no.’

“Okay partner, well chapter 8 was my favorite, do you have any ideas on what to do for the presentation?” Nick said enthusiastically as he scooted his desk closer to Kurt, but making sure to leave enough space in order to make Kurt feel comfortable. “I don’t know, I mean we could do a power point or something.” Kurt wrote to Nick. “A power point is what everyone does, what if we did like a song- “ Nick stopped mid-sentence when Mr. Bell walked over to their group. “How are you boys doing? I hope Nick here helped you catch up,” Kurt nodded, “Good, well Kurt, you do not have to talk during your presentation. I have been notified about your issue and it is perfectly fine. I just wanted to come over to let you know, I have no doubt that Nick can handle all the talking.”  Kurt let out a breath that he didn’t even realize he was holding and nodded. 

“Sweet, I love talking. So do you play any instruments?” Nick inquired. “I play piano, but I haven’t in a while.” Kurt wrote unsteadily. “That’s great! We can so do a song, and a mini power point!” Nick practically bounced in his seat as the bell rang.’ I can see why he and Jeff are dating’, Kurt thought silently, pulling out his schedule to see what class was next; AP French.  Nick looked over at Kurt, “Blaine said you would have AP French next, he asked me to show you to your next class, He said he would meet you there.” He looked up at Nick and nodded as they walked out of the classroom and towards the ’F’ building.

When he and Nick arrived at his French class, Blaine wasn’t there yet. Nick had gone off to his next class leaving Kurt alone in the classroom with a bunch of unknown boys. Kurt quickly made his way to the corner of the room to try and get away from the curious eyes that he had somehow drawn the attention of, however; he had no such luck. As made his way to an empty seat a tall meerkat looking kid blocked his way. “Hey sexy, you are looking pretty fine. Now you must be new because someone with a body like yours would have definitely already caught my eye and been in my bed.  So, what’s your name princess?” The slimy guy said, blocking Kurt’s path. Kurt just looked at tall boy in front of him, feeling uneasy and suddenly claustrophobic. “Lay off Sebastard, he isn’t interested in a walking STD like you.” Blaine said coming up next to Kurt and glaring at the guy in front of him. “Well hello to you too Blaine, always saving the damsel in distress-“. He was cut off as Mademoiselle Gelleno walked in, “Prenez votre classe sièges”(Take your seats class). The meerkat let them through and took his seat next to his annoying buddies, while Blaine and Kurt took the two seats in the back corner. Blaine looked over at Kurt to see if he was alright, Kurt just shook his head hesitantly and listened to the teacher ramble off instructions in French.
