Kurt left room 248 and started to head to the first floor, it was still a few minutes before the end of seventh period but he decided that he would head to glee, which was his eighth period class, a bit early. He walked into the room and found it empty he went to the back of the room and sat down. As he waited he pulled out the pamphlet that Mrs. Raine had given him. He flipped open the pages to see various illustrations of sad or angry looking kids along with lists of symptoms and how to deal with them. Some of the symptoms Kurt immediately recognized as some he saw in Blaine earlier that day. “Emotionally disturbed students may act out in many different ways; from being hostile and aggressive to becoming depressed and withdrawn. It is important to know you’re your students react to the varying situations of the day.” Kurt continued to read the somewhat condescending pamphlet that by the production value and clothing choices of the characters featured was made in the early 90’s. Kurt barely noticed the bell ring for the end of 7th period or the arrival of the other glee club members until Rachel Berry was standing right in front of him giving him an annoyed look.

“Kurt, I assume that you are going to apologize for not graciously accepting my offer regarding the PFLAG vice presidency?” She said with a huff.
Kurt looked up at the brunette with his infamous bitch glare, “Rachel, as much as I appreciate your offer I have decided to involve myself in some service learning in order to beef up my application.”
Rachel’s jaw dropped but quickly recovered, “Well then, that is very noble of you Kurt, I wish you the best of luck. But may I ask what this service learning is?”

“You may” Kurt said tersely. “I will be tutoring a kid named Blaine Anderson every day during 7th period.”
As soon and Kurt said Blaine’s name the entire male population of the glee club turned and stared at him wide eyed. “Kurt, did you say Blaine Anderson?” Puck asked.

“Yes why?”

“That kid is messed up dude; he was at the football try outs at the begging of the year and like flipped out the first day of practice for no reason. It took Coach Beiste and another teacher to hold him down until his parents came.”

“I am sure there was a reason for his blow up.” Kurt said as he doubted his words in his own mind. Puck looked like he was going to say something else but as he began Mr. Shue walked in the room and began the lesson for the day.
Kurt didn’t even try to focus on Mr. Shue’s lesson that day, all he could think of was the words of warning that both Mrs. Raine and Puck had given him about Blaine. He continued to argue with himself inside his head throughout the period. It wasn’t still the bell rang signaling the end of the school day that Kurt was brought out of his revere. As he Kurt grabbed his satchel and threw it over his shoulder Puck approached him. “Kurt, I know you want to help out that Blaine kid so you can bump up your college application or whatever I just want you to be careful ok, I have heard some bad stuff about that dude. I don’t want you getting hurt.” Puck said with sincerity in his eyes.

“Thanks for your concern Puck, I promise I will be careful.” Kurt said offering Puck a smile. As he walked out of the choir room Kurt hoped that he would be able to keep his promise

Blaine watched as Kurt walked out of the room. His mind raced at the prospect of having a peer tutor. At first he was angry that he would have to deal with someone else trying to help him. Blaine had enough with people who supposedly cared about him. Ever since he was little people had come into his life wanting to help but after a while, and after they had realized how messed up Blaine was, they always ran away screaming. But as Blaine recounted his past he felt the ever familiar feeling of depression creep into his system. As he sat in the corner of the classroom his body began to shake with tearless sobs. He didn’t want to feel the pain of losing someone again. He didn’t want to scare this new boy, Kurt, off with his craziness. He didn’t want to hurt anymore.
