Thank you for reading this (long) chapter. This is my first story, so dont judge me Ill try to update atleast every week, so keep in touch :D Plese tell me If i made any mistakes, (I started this at 12:30 am and finished at 1:27 am)
It was the 5th of November. A day that Kurt Hummel will never forget.
It was a cool fall day. A Monday. One of those days that was too cold for fall, but too warm for winter. Kurts best friend, Rachel drove drove him to school. They spent the time discussing make up and staying fashionable during the cool weather, even though it was mainly Kurt giving Rachel advice.
When Kurt went to school, it seemed like everybody was staring at him.
"Its probably just in my mind," Kurt thought to himself as the jocks started to mock him. "Calm down"
When Kurt went to his locker to get his stuff out of his locker, whats when he saw it. Someone vandalized his locker with spray paint. Right there big clear and in black it read:"Faggot" that was Strike One.
Kurt was used to the name calling. He was used to being called the names that just make him depressed. They rarely make him feel that bad now. He couldnt help it. He couldnt help that he was gay. He could help that he loved poety, and singing. But even though it was just a locker, it made him hurt that someone would say that, much less put it on a locker. After 3 minutes of trying to get the spray paint off the locker, he got his stuff and went to English, his first class.
In English, there was a substitute teacher. Her name was Ms. Holliday. When she was taking attendance, this happened:
Kurt was not paying attention at all. He hadsome inspiration for his poem, and was jolting down his thoughts when his name was called. After that, Rachel volunteered to take the attendance down to Principal Figgins office. She was about to leave, when Ms. Holliday got up. She pointed to Kurt and asked
"Young lady, I dont remember calling your name."
"Sorry, I wasnt paying attention." Kurt admitted, ignoring the fact that Ms. Holliday called him a female.
"Lady Queer" one of the Jocks snickered.
Kurt had enough. It hasnt even been 30 minutes and he has already been insulted twice.
"I need to be excused" Kurt apologized while leaving the classroom in tears.
He decided that he needed to talk to somebody.
"Mr. Schuester said that if I ever needed him, I could talk to him" Kurt thought. "But he probably thinks that Im too dramatic in the first place."
Kurt decided to talk to Ms. Pillsbury. He wasnt combortable talking to anybody else. Atleast Ms. Pillsbury cant judge me too hard.
When he knocked on her door, she invited him in. Kurt told her about what happened in English, when Sue Sylvester came in. More like barged in. She overheard Kurt and Ms. Pillsburys conversation and had a suggestion.
"If you want to stop being unfairly for being gay, stop acting gay! Stop complaining because others have it way worse than you. Like me. They took five percent of funding for my cheerleading team, and where does it go too? The Glee Club! Now we only have 5000 dollars of the uniform funds. Dont you know how stressful this is?"
That broke Kurts heart.
"Thanks for your help." burst out Kurt as he, once again, left out the counselors office.
Kurt skipped the remainder of his first class and his second class. He didnt want to be targeted as weak and be bullied even more than he endured today.
He went to lunch. He didnt eat much, which suprised Rachel and Santana.
"Whats wrong Porcelain?" Santana asked, actually concerned about Kurt.
"Its just that everybody keeps picking on me and it seems like nobody cares," Kurt said with a slight whine.
"We care Kurt."
"I know you do, but I just get hated so much just for being who I am. Yes I know, you care, but everyday I still get called queer, gay, faggott, you know. The works. It doesnt help that we get slushies thrown at us everyday."
"Oh." Rachel said.
A few hours later was Glee Club.
Kurt decided that he was going to sing a less rockish version of Numb by Linkin Park. The whole song made Mr. Schuester really worried about Kurt. He knew something was wrong. The line that really made him concerned was the infamous line: "Every step that I take is another mistake to you." After glee club, Mr. Schuester wanted to talk to Kurt alone.
"Im sorry if you miss the bus, this is probably going to be a long talk."
"Its fine, I could have Finn drive me home anyways."
"Okay then. Kurt. Whats wrong?"
"What do you mean Mr. Shue?"
"Well you havent been yourself recently.
"Im sorry, I just havent been getting enough sleep. I promise that ill sleep tonight Mr. Shue." Kurt lied.
"Okay, just know that Im there for you Kurt." Mr. Schuester said knowing somethings wrong "Heres my cell phone number. Call me if you ever need anything."
"Thank you." Kurt said.
Kurt decided to stay after with Finn and the football team. Football practice stared at three and ended at ten pm. Kurt couldve easily called his dad to pick him up, or had Rachel drop him off, but he decided that maybe if he watched the football team, he could become "More like a man".
On the field, the players were playing unsupervised, getting ready for a game. Ms. Pillsbury was talking to Ms. Beist about fundrasing for the next game. A few minutes later, they noticed Kurt and walked up to him and called him names.
"Hey Lady Fag. I heard that you like boys." One of the Freshman Jocks said, trying to gain approval from the rest of the team.
Finn didnt do anything but give me a "poor you" face.
"And whats wrong with that?" Kurt asked. "You cant do anything, Ms. Beist is right there."
"She cant do anything. If she tried, I would get her fired for "Sexual Harassment"
And thats when half of the football team attacked Kurt. Not only verbally, but physical too. Kurt, being as weak as he is compared to the football team couldnt beat them. He kicked and flailed, but couldnt escape. It was 4 minutes in hell. Nobody batted an eyelash and thats when Kurt had enough.
He ran to the girls locker room. In there nobody would find him. He took out his phone pulled out Mr. Schuesters number. With shaking hands, he dialed his number and pressed the call button. After 3 rings, he picked up the phone
"Hello"
"Hi"
"Hi, Mr. Shue? This is Kurt." Kurt barely choked out.
"Yes Kurt?" Mr. Schuester asked.
"Can I talk to you?" Kurt asked
"Sure, make it quick."
"Um-... Its just that everybody is against me and I just got jumped by the football team. They had no considerations and nobody cares."
"Did you talk to an adult?"
"No, but nobody will listen to me."
"Youll never know if you never try" Mr. Schuester said as he hung up the phone.
"Im so done." Kurt thought. "Everybody hates me because of something I cant change."
And with that Kurts life will change forever.
