After breakfast everyone stayed and helped finish cleaning up and after a few hours of just talking people started heading home. They still may all have been really hung over, but we had school tomorrow after all.

I walked back over to my house and was greeted by my parents. They were talking way too loudly, but if I complained I knew they’d ask questions and I’d get in trouble for drinking, so I just smiled while they talked.

“Did you have fun?” My mom asked.

“Yeah, I had a great time. I met a lot of really nice people. They seemed to like me and they’re all in glee club so at least I’ll have some friends.” I smiled.

“Your football buddies are in glee club too?” My dad asked me.

“Yeah, Finn’s the captain of the football team and the co-captain of glee along with his girlfriend.” I smiled.

“That’s really cool.” My mom replied.

“And what about the boy you were crushing on? Was he there? Did you talk to him?” My dad asked excitedly.

I did more than talk to him.

“Yeah, he was there. I got to know him pretty well. He’s super nice. And gorgeous! But I didn’t really have the opportunity to tell him I was gay or that I liked him. But I got his number so that’s a start.” I smiled.

“I’m sure the two of you will get closer.” My dad said.

We were very close last night.

“I hope so. I’m not the best at words, so I think when I audition for glee club I might chose a song specifically for him.” I smiled excited about the plan that had just developed in my mind.

“That sounds lovely.” My mom smiled.

We continued talking for awhile before I decided I’d go and get ready for bed. Still nursing a hang over, and a first day at a new school tomorrow.

I woke up Monday morning bright and early. I looked out the window at the sunny sky and I knew it was going to be a great day. Plus I was treated with the view of Kurt coming home from his morning run. That was always great.

I took a shower and got dressed. I styled my hair and had breakfast. I said goodbye to my parents and walked out to my car.

I got in and drove but as I turned the corner I notice a familiar person walking, so I rolled down the window “Hey Kurt! Need a ride?” I asked politely.

“Oh no thank you, I typically walk. Plus you wouldn’t want to be seen with me showing up to school.” He laughed.

“Why not?” I asked confused.

“People would say mean things. They judge people mercilessly and they’d misconstrue you giving me a ride to something as crazy as us dating or something. I wouldn’t want you to have to go through that. People can be jerks.” He sighed and continued walking. “But thanks for the offer, you’re really cool.” He smiled.

I wish we were dating.

“Okay, no problem. Just let me know if you ever want a ride.” I offered again driving off.

When I got to school I saw Mercedes and she volunteered to show me to the office and help me find my locker.

As we walked she started up a conversation.

Mainly just stuff like ‘you liking Lima’ and other stuff like that.

We turned the corner and approached a row of lockers. The very same row of lockers with the middle one that read ‘FAG’ just barely faded out.

“Please don’t be mine. Please don’t be mine. Please don’t be mine.” I frowned as I searched for my locker.

Mercedes just laughed, “No, that’s not yours. That’s Kurt’s. But you guys are locker neighbors because this one’s yours.” She smiled pointing to the locker next to his.

Locker neighbors, as in I’d get to see him there every single morning, every single afternoon, in between classes, this was perfect.

“Awwh, that’s nice.” I grinned from ear to ear.

This year was going to be amazing!

Me and Mercedes were talking by my locker when Kurt walked in looking as breathtakingly beautiful as always.

“Hey boo!” He said greeting Mercedes. “Hi Blaine” He smiled.

We both said hi as he laughed at the front of his locker. “First day of school and it starts already.” He laughed.

“Actually it’s been up since football tryouts. Finn and the guys and I tried to wash it off to no avail.” I sighed.

“Awwh you guys are too sweet. I’ll have to thank Finn when I see him later. ‘Cedes do we have glee club today?” He asked.

“Yeah we do.” She smiled.

“Do they have like a signup sheet or something?” I asked.

“Yeah, but it’s been pretty badly vandalized, I have Spanish first so I’ll tell Mr. Schue you plan on auditioning.” Mercedes offered.

“Thanks Mercedes.” I smiled.

“Well I have to my locker; I’ll catch up with you guys later.” Mercedes smiled and walked away.

Kurt and I were packing up and talking when Azimio and Karofsky came out of nowhere with big red cups in their hands.

“Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Lady face Hummel and the new kid, we can kill two birds with one stone.” Azimio smirked.

“Welcome back!” Karofsky laughed as the both emptied the contents of the cups on our faces.

It was cold and sticky, and oh God it was a slushie. “What the fuck just happened?” I asked the artificial flavoring my eyes.

“Awwh you just got your first slushie.” Kurt laughed wiping some of the blue liquid out of his eyes. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into the bathroom.  

“This hurts my eyes, who the fuck does that?” I asked angrily.

“They do, now lean back so I can clean you up.” He laughed turning on the sink and running water over my face. He stood in front of me and had me pressed up against the sink as he washed the sticky liquid out of my hair. He was standing intimately close and I think he noticed that I got hard.

Awkward.

He moved away and began washing his own face and hair in the sink next to me as I dried of my face.

He handed me a clean tee shirt and pulled out one for himself as well.

“Came prepared?” I laughed.

“I guess I’m just used to it.” He shrugged, pulling his stained shirt over his head. I couldn’t help but stare at his bare chest, he was just so beautiful. I changed as well and thanked him for the help before I made my way to my next class.

He offered to walk me to it so I wouldn’t get lost but I was already sporting an embarrassing boner and if I didn’t stop looking at him my shirt wouldn’t be the only thing I’d be changing that day.

Why couldn’t I just tell him?

Oh right because so asshole threw an icy sugary beverage in my face just for being new, what would happen to me if I was gay and the new kid?

That I didn’t really want to find out.
