Closing his locker Kurt flinched as he realised someone had been standing behind the door. His shoulders relaxed as he took in the image of the short girl with long brown hair standing in front of him.

"Rachel?" he questioned.

"Hi Kurt, how are you?"

"I'm fine," he replied, eyeing her suspiciously.

"I heard about your dad and Finn's mom getting engaged, you must be so excited," Rachel smiled.

"Very excited," Kurt smiled back, his eye still narrowed.

"Are you sure you're ok?" she almost whispered.

Kurt raised his eyebrows. "I'm fine."

"Don't lie to me Kurt."

"What are you talking about?" Kurt said, trying to sound confused and uninterested.

"You've been weird for weeks. Before I thought it was just because you were lonely but now you've stopped fighting me for solos?" She stared at Kurt who was maintaining his confused expression. "It's Karofsky isn't it? I know that being in glee means we all have to put up with a fair amount of teasing but whatever is going on between you two seems to be much worse."

"Look Rachel, just because we sang some duet together a few weeks ago-"

"Barbara Streisand and Judy Garland is not 'some duet'," she snapped.

"It doesn't mean we're suddenly friends," he finished.

"I just want to help," Rachel said in a small voice.

"Well I don't want or need it."

Kurt felt guilty as he walked away, unable to look back to see her reaction. Rachel had been uncharacteristically nice to him lately and he didn't want to mean to her but the way she had confronted him had made him extremely defensive.

If he had turned back he would have seen that Rachel didn't look upset. She had a determined look on her face as she took out her phone to text every girl in glee who had a boyfriend on the football team.

Blaine: Hey!

Kurt: Hi Blaine :)

Blaine: You haven't been online for days! I was starting to get worried

Kurt: Sorry it's just SO much has been happening and I'm busy planning a wedding

Blaine: Bit young to get married aren't you? ;)

Kurt: Har har, no it's my dad who is getting married

Blaine: That's sweet, are you excited?

Kurt: I am! As I'm planning it, I know it's going to be PERFECT

Blaine: Well of course

Kurt: And it's this weekend, hence being extremely busy!

Blaine: Woah that's soon

Kurt: Yeah well people my dad's age don't waste any time

Blaine: Is that enough time to plan a wedding?

Kurt: Please, I've been planning imaginary weddings since I was 5

Blaine: I don't really know what to say about that

Kurt: And we're all going to live together but in a bigger house

Blaine: Awesome, you seem really excited about this!

Kurt: Oh Blaine, you haven't even heard the best bit

Blaine: Then please enlighten me

Kurt: Karofsky has been expelled

Blaine: Really? What for?

Kurt: For threatening me

Blaine: You told someone!

Kurt: Well I didn't have much choice, after my dad saw him make fun of me and demanded to know what was going on

Blaine: Yay for your dad :)

Kurt: I think it was bound to come out soon anyway, things were starting to get a little crazy

Blaine: How so?

Kurt: Some of my friends on the football team confronted Karofsky and told him to leave me alone, ending up in a brawl. Poor Sam has a black eye now

Blaine: What about Finn?

Kurt: He was out on the field or something... I don't condone violence at all but it was nice that they tried to help. Especially Sam

Blaine: This Sam... someone special? ;)

Kurt: No, I'm afraid he plays for team straight

Blaine: All the pretty ones do :(

Kurt: Hey!

Blaine: Except for you, I'm sure you're extremely pretty

Kurt: I am

Blaine: Oh really? Prove it ;)

Kurt: What?

Blaine: Show me a picture. Or even better, go on cam!

Kurt: I don't really want to do that..

Blaine: Oh, ok

Kurt: Sorry

Blaine: It's ok, I didn't mean to weird you out. I have a few online friends and we sometimes video chat. I forget that some people aren't really comfortable with that

Kurt: Don't you worry about privacy or security?

Blaine: It's not like I give them my address and social security number, most of them aren't even from the states anyway so they'll have a hard time tracking me down by my face alone

Kurt: Where are they from?

Blaine: Europe mainly. Finland, Norway, UK etc

Kurt: Isn't there language barriers?

Blaine: Actually they all speak English very well, puts us to shame really

Kurt: I can speak French pretty well...

Blaine: My friend in Finland is younger than me and speaks 3 languages, and he wants to learn more!

Kurt: So is that how you spend your time? Talking to people online?

Blaine: Don't make it sound so creepy! We can't all be blessed with exciting social lives like yourself, I can't remember the last time I was called upon to plan a wedding

Kurt: Lol, poor Blaine!

Blaine: I'm joking. Sorta. I got bullied a lot at my old school and I ended up retreating to the online world

Kurt: Oh, I feel bad for making fun of you now :(

Blaine: Haha it's ok, I'm much happier at my current school and I have loads of friends who keep me pretty busy but I still keep in touch with the friends I made online who helped me through the tougher times.

Kurt: That's sweet, it doesn't sound creepy at all

Blaine: I'm not sure if that is sarcasm... but don't you go forgetting about your buddy Blaine now things are looking up for you!

Kurt: Weeeell... my schedule is pretty full actually

Blaine: :(

Kurt: Hey I'm kidding! I really like talking to you, and not just to vent about my problems

Blaine: Good :), although I don't mind hearing about your problems, it's nice to talk to happy-Kurt

Kurt: We talk about me far too much, I want to hear more about your life!

Blaine: What do you want to know?

Kurt: Name one of your hobbies

Blaine: Boxing

Kurt: LOL really?

Blaine: really

Kurt: Well aren't you full of surprises
