Kurt was leaning over the sink helping Carole wash the dishes after dinner. Kurt was carefully scrubbing a plate as Carole walked up to him setting a few more pans in the sink to soak.
"Okay, it's time for a little boy talk." Carole said pleasantly as she leaned up against the sink. Kurt sat the plate back in the sink and looked at her.
"What do you mean?" Kurt asked leaning up against the sink as well laying his hand on his hip.
"You're obviously in love, now, tell me about this boy?" Carole said. Kurt smiled and looked away as he began to blush.
"Well, he- he's new, pretty young, and, simply gorgeous." Kurt began not looking back at Carole. Carole nodded.
"What's his name?"
"Um... well... I... don't know his first name." Kurt said. Carole looked at her stepson in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"He's, a... cough*teacher*cough." Kurt made sure to cough out teacher. He wasn't to sure how Carole would respond to him crushing on a teacher.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Carole asked crossing her arms.
"He's... one of my teachers." Kurt 'fessed up. Carole looked at him laying a hand on her hip.
"A teacher, aye? Which teacher?"
"Mr. Anderson, my- my Trig teacher." Kurt sighed. Carole nodded and walked away hoping they could just, drop the subject. Kurt stood in front of the sink for awhile staring down at the warm, bubbly water in the tub in front of him. He didn't know how mad Carole was and he was too scared to find out.
Blaine sat on the edge of his desk as always, teaching Lauren's class, "So, today, we're going to add triangles to Trig." He said. Lauren shot up her hand, "Yes, Lauren?"
"Um, why are we adding geometric figures to Algebra?" Blaine laughed.
"Algebra shows up in Geometry, Geometry shows up in Trig. It's kinda how it works."
"But you said that Trigonometry is just advanced Algebra?"
"It is, because Geometry is kinda like advanced Algebra." Blaine retorted crossing his arms.
"That doesn't make any sense?" Lauren stated.
"Alright, looks like we need to get back to basics. Algebra is plugging in numbers, Geometry is shapes. In order to find answers to these Geometric Equations you need to know Algebra. They begin to make Algebra harder in Geometry because you have to add shape measurements. When you get into Trig, your working with only triangles, and, believe me when I say that triangles are indeed the hardest shape to work with. It's three sides, all pointed and must be measured in degrees of an angle. It's all Algebra. It's all the same equations, just add in a few more things, such as shapes and, angles. Which is why you learn Algebra first, for that purpose."
Mr. Anderson studied his class after his speech. Everyone looked a little shocked. They had no idea how similar Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry all were until Blaine told them. Lauren nodded dumbfounded and looked down, not looking up for the rest of the period.
There was no Glee practice this morning so Kurt had to wait until third period to get the scoop out of Rachel. Kurt sat down at there usual seats in the Science Lab and waited for Rachel who bounced right in.
"Okay, so Mercedes said that you had some news to share about Mr. Anderson for me?" Kurt said as Rachel took the empty stool beside him.
"Yup, and it's juicy too." Rachel said making Kurt much more anxious to find out what was up with Mr. Anderson.
"What is it?" Kurt asked clasping his hands on the table and leaning closer to Rachel.
"Okay, so-" The bell rang and there Science teacher Mr. Twist came walking in stopping Rachel to Kurt's disappointment.
"Alright, everyone, put your safety goggles on." Mr. Twist said making his way to his desk. Kurt put them on with a sigh.
"These goggles really go horribly with my outfit." He said to Rachel.
"Yes, I feel your pain." Rachel said straightening her goggles.
"Now, what's with Mr. Anderson?" Kurt whispered.
"Hummel, Berry! Don't make me come back there and separate the two of you!" Mr. Twist boomed in their direction.
"Sorry, Mr. Twist!" Rachel hollered back. She waited for Mr. Twist to turn around before passing a note in Kurt's direction.
Tell you at lunch, with Mercedes. It's huuuuuge
- Rachel Berry *
Kurt read the note and his stomach imediatly began doing back flips, What's up with Mr. Anderson? Why won't anyone fucking tell ME?!, Kurt thought.
