Kurt waited anxiously all weekend for school on Monday, he spent most of the weekend chatting on the phone to Mercedes (not about Blaine, thank you very much) and also texting Tina and Rachel. What he spent the most time doing however, as much as he would never admit was looking up on the internet everything he could find out about Blaine. His searches didn't make him find out much more information than he already knew; head of the New Directions until he quit, no Facebook page or any other social networking sites (is he really a teenager?) there was one thing Kurt found out though, he parents were freaking rich. Not even 'well off' either, filthy stinking rich. His father being one of the top lawyers in Ohio and his mother being a well respected doctor. It seemed like Blaine Anderson had it pretty cushy. Kurt didn't let that cloud his judgment though, he knew that money didn't buy happiness - well in some cases it did. Like if Kurt could buy those Alexander McQueen boots he'd be incredibly happy.

However Kurt knew that even though Blaine was probably swimming in cash, there was something deeply wrong with that boy, he just didn't know what. Yet.

The more Kurt thought about the incident at the shop the less things made sense, Blaine of course; was himself. But he didn't seem himself; hell he even dressed a little differently. Sure, he still had the gelled-within-an-inch-of-its-life hair but the usual bowtie was missing and his usual straight, tidy shirt was un-tucked and opened a bit. He also stood differently, he more slouched, whereas Blaine from school had the perfect posture. It was all very, very strange.

"How was your weekend Kurt?" Rachel asked, skipping alongside him and linking his arm through hers.

"You should know Rachel, I was texting you throughout it." Kurt rolled his eyes playfully.

"True, anyway about Glee Club…"

"Fine I'll join."

"Really?!" Rachel screeched, jumping up and down and dragging Kurt's arms with her.

"Yes! As long as you'll let go of my arm!"

Rachel instantly let go and stood ramrod straight, like awaiting orders.

"Uh… so meeting is today right?"

Rachel nodded and went on telling Kurt all about Glee club, for the 50th time. He had texts all about their schedules the whole weekend, not to mention her constant talking about it at school. Kurt nodded along and smiled, not really paying attention though. He was trying to see if he could catch even the slightest glimpse of a certain curly haired boy.

He didn't.

Kurt sighed as he entered his first class, he wondered if he'd see him at lunch.

Kurt bumped into Blaine much earlier than he expected. He was going on a toilet break in second period when he saw him, he must have come in late because he looked seriously in a rush, dropping his books to the floor.

"Here let me help you," Kurt offered and started picking up Blaine's books.

"I uh… thanks." Blaine muttered, not making eye contact with the other boy at all, just deciding to continue looking down at his scattered book. Kurt decided that he was probably embarrassed about coming onto him so strong the other day, after all Blaine did seem like a gentleman. Maybe he was just having a bad day… yeah that would explain a lot.

"Blaine… about the other day…" Kurt began but stopped once he saw Blaine's head shoot up and his eyes widen. Why that reaction?

"Th-The other day?" Blaine stuttered, his face heating up.

"Yeah… when you came into my dad's auto-shop?" Kurt asked confusedly… Why was Blaine was acting like he didn't know what happened? If for some strange reason he didn't, why was he avoiding looking a Kurt as he helped him?

Blaine stood up abruptly. "Sorry I have to go, I'm late for class enough as it is, thank you for your help." Blaine nodded his head in Kurt's direction and then went to run away, like the first time him and Kurt spoke, but this time Kurt wasn't going to let him.

"No, wait a second!" Kurt almost shouted, making Blaine freeze in his tracks. "Don't you dare run off again, I deserve an explanation!"

Blaine spun around quickly and look at Kurt, face growing serious. "You'd rather not know, Kurt."

"Why?" Kurt almost whispered, all bravado gone once he saw the change in Blaine's eyes, and heard the difference in his tone.

"Trust me Kurt, I'm no good to be around."

"Isn't that my decision to make?" Kurt said, voice faltering.

Blaine lightly chuckled. "You don't even know me Kurt."

"Well, let me get to know you then." Kurt answered, feeling more confident. "I won't push you to tell me anything you're not comfortable with, but I wouldn't mind being your friend, Blaine."

"It's not that simple."

"Why not?"

"Because it's not."

"That's not an answer."

"Why are you so stubborn."

Kurt stood there, arms folded staring at the shorter boy, obviously not giving up. Blaine smiled slightly. "Come on Blaine, I'm not that bad am I?"

Blaine's face grew serious again. "No, you're not."

"Exac-"

"And that's the problem."

Kurt grew silent, trying to figure out what Blaine meant.

"Goodbye Kurt." Blaine said, turning around and walking off once again.

Kurt didn't know what else he could do, Blaine was walking off, out of his life and it felt terrible. Kurt didn't know why this strange boy had such an effect on him since he hardly knew him, but he did. Kurt wasn't sure what made him do what he did next.

"No wait!" Kurt shouted as he ran after Blaine, as he caught up with him he span the other boy around and tightly hugged him. The stood like that for a few moments, both confused to what was happening and both unsure why. Kurt quickly moved away.

"I… uh I'm sorry… I just-"

"You really want to be my friend don't you?"

"Yes…"

"Fine." Blaine sighed. "Don't tell me I didn't warn you though." Blaine looked up into Kurt's eyes and smiled. "You really are stubborn."

It was then that Kurt finally let Blaine walk away, knowing that the other boy was still going to be in his life. This however, gave Kurt a lot of time to think about what just happened and what Blaine meant by 'don't tell me I didn't warn you'. That could wait though, he was probably already in a lot of trouble for taking to long to go to the bathroom, everything could wait as far as Kurt was concerned because now he was one step closer to Blaine.
