Kurt Hummel just started his senior year at McKinley and he couldn't be happier about it. Finally the end is in sight and he can't wait to get out of here.

It's taken him to his last year to be amongst the higher ranks of students and he can't help himself but act it out. He tells himself it's only right that he acts the way he does, after his previous years in high school. Finally he isn't one of the plebs anymore and feels mighty happy about it.

And that's exactly why he reacts the way he does in his English class, the last class of the day before the weekend.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Kurt exclaims standing up from his seat as he looks defiantly to his English teacher.

"I'm not pairing up with him, I've got my standards ..." he adds looking pointedly at the student sitting a few desks behind him.

The boy is just looking between Kurt and their teacher, his eyes a bit wider then usual and a questioning expression.

"Mr. Hummel!" the teacher raises her voice "Sit down and there will be no arguing about this."

And without even acknowledging the fact that Kurt wants to say anything else, she just goes further telling the class who's gonna be working with who.

Kurt looks back at the boy, who's now staring at him and rolls his eyes before sitting down again with a loud sigh.

'Out of all the students, she had to pair me up with Blaine Anderson,' he thinks 'Mister goody two shoes!'

Class is over and everyone hurries out of the room, eager to get out of school and start their weekends. Kurt is throwing his stuff in his bag when he feels someone standing behind him. Knowing perfectly well who it is, he turns and rolls his eyes as he crosses his arms in front of his chest.

"What?"

"Euhm ..." Blaine starts looking around the room with an uncomfortable gaze "Look, I'm not that happy with this either."

Hearing him say that makes Kurt stare at him dumbfounded for just a moment, not really believing that Blaine actually said that to him,

"You are not ... Ha, you should be but whatever."

Kurt swings his bag over his shoulder and starts to head out of the classroom. After a few steps in the hallway he hears footsteps approaching and Blaine's voice

"Hey, wait ... When are you able to do this?"

'Right, damn ... We still have to do that assignment.' Kurt thinks and turns around again. Blaine almost collides against him due to Kurt suddenly stopping and takes a small step back.

"Well, I have a life outside of this school so I guess the only suitable time for me is Sunday."

"Oh, okay I guess," Blaine stammers "is around 2 pm alright?"

With a shrug Kurt answers "I was hoping for earlier so I can still have something of my day but I guess so then. Library?"

"Yeah, okay." he hears Blaine say as Kurt's already turning around and walking away.

Kurt wakes up at the sound of his alarm, sitting up straight in his bed to be able to shut it off. He looks at the time, noticing it's around 10am and with a groan he lets himself drop back on his bed.

"This Sunday would be so damn good if I wouldn't have to go do that assignment this afternoon." he sighs to his empty room and just stares at his ceiling for just a few more minutes before getting up and going straight into his bathroom.

It's already past 11am when he finally comes down the stairs and strolls into his kitchen where Carol is busy with the preparations for lunch.

"Hey honey, lazy day today?"

"I wish," Kurt grumbles "Have to go out this afternoon, homework ..."

"Well, aren't you a sunshine this morning?" Carol says quietly before turning back to the counter.

After having his breakfast, Kurt slowly starts get his stuff together for this afternoon and seeing there is still more than enough time, he opens his laptop to check on his mail.

Immediately his notifications rise up, one particular one standing out from the rest. He opens it, wondering why Puck would send him one. They just went out with some of the other guys last night, and it is very rare that Puck even sends mail to anyone.

"Next weekend ..." it states on top of his screen, and Kurt chuckles. He shouldn't be surprised that it had something to do with partying.

"I found the perfect place for you! Not gonna say more, but are you in or not?"

Kurt shakes his head while he takes out his cellphone and starts to type.

"Should I be worried? If not, I'm in ..."

He immediately receives a reply "No worries. So, you're in!"

Glancing over the rest of his mails, Kurt decides there's nothing really important right now and closes his laptop, looking at his clock. It's around 1pm and he takes his bag, puts on his boots and walks back downstairs.

"Carol, I'm gone. I'll be back in time for dinner."

"Okay honey, have fun!" He hears her shout from the kitchen as he closes the door behind him.

"Okay, let's do this." he mumbles and walks to his car.

Kurt walks through the doors of the library and walks passed the counter, towards the tables in the back of the place. Looking around, his eyes fall on Blaine, sitting in the far corner of the room, eyes closed and leaning back in his chair.

The moment he reaches the table, Kurt drops his bag on top of it, making Blaine jump up and look at him startled.

"What? Rough night?" Kurt asks sarcastically "Did your books keep you awake?"

He takes a seat opposite Blaine and crosses his arms, immediately going on before the other boy can even reply.

"Let's just start, the quicker we do this, the sooner I don't have spend my time here anymore."

Blaine opens his mouth as if he wants to say something but decides against it and just sighs instead, while he takes out his copy of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale and flips it open.

"Okay then." Kurt mumbles taking his own book out of his bag.

After a few minutes of silently reading, he looks up through his eyelashes at Blaine. The boy has his eyes closed and is slightly nodding.

Kurt closes his book with a loud bang and Blaine's head snaps up, looking a little bewildered around him.

"What the hell?" he exclaims, immediately being shushed by an older guy reading at a nearby table.

"Nice to know you're as engaged to this assignment as I am." Kurt states flatly.

"God, sorry ..." Blaine mumbles as he looks away from the boy sitting in front of him. "I'm just a bit tired, that's all, I'll be okay now."

"I hope so. I'm not planning on spending my free time doing all the work on my own." Kurt snarls a little before opening his book again.

It's almost 5pm, and Blaine looks at his clock impatiently as he closes his book and scrapes his throat.

"I gotta go, but will it be okay if we work more on this during lunch breaks at school?"

'Great!' Kurt thinks 'Now I have to give up the little free time I have during school.'

But instead of saying just that, he nods slightly "Yeah, guess so. Just try to stay awake next time. I meant it, I'm not gonna do this all by myself, and let you take half the credit."

He starts to pack his things as Blaine is already swinging his bag over his shoulder and putting his chair back under the table.

"Of course," Blaine quietly speaks, barely loud enough for Kurt to hear it "Sorry again ..."

And he hurriedly walks passed the other boy, leaving Kurt staring after him for another moment.

"What the hell is up with that guy? I swear ..."

The librarian walking by him gives him a stern look, making him notice he was starting to raise his voice without even realizing it.

Quickly he stands up, grabbing his bag and walks out of the library.
