A Long Journey
"She's a skank, Kurt."
"But she's not your average
skank!" Kurt spread his hands
defensively. He stared dreamily at the
topic of his and Scott's discussion.
"It's like she's not trying to be a skank, it's just how she
is."
Scott looked at him skeptically.
"Oh, come on. You've got to admit it, she's pretty."
Scott leaned his chin onto his hand,
his eyes taking on the same glazed quality that Kurt's had already
achieved. "That she is. Very pretty, actually. Incredibly - - "
Jean sat down across from
Scott. He jumped and his eyes
refocused. "Wow, now there's
beauty," he remarked. Jean smiled
at him.
Kurt made a disgusted noise and
looked down at the cafeteria food.
"Weak excuse for fries," he muttered.
Evan plopped down noisily next to
him. "So how about that new girl,
huh?" He asked through a mouthful of burger, wasting no time in chowing
down.
Kurt tilted his head to the side. "She's, uh - -"
"Skinny," Jean
interrupted, breaking off her conversation with Scott. "Painfully skinny."
"She's not skinny, just…
slender."
Evan stared at Kurt. "You've got it bad."
"V-vas?" Kurt stuttered, taking off-guard.
"You're crushing on her,
dude!" Evan elbowed the teenager
in the side, grinning impishly.
Kurt shoved his elbow away. "Am not."
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Yeah?" Evan folded his arms across his chest. "Then who do you have a crush on?"
Kurt looked around for a moment,
searching, before snatching his plate and holding it up. "This… burger! It's… Uh.
She's beautiful, smells good, aaaand…"
"And you're gonna eat her out,
right?" Evan grinned again,
widely.
"Evan!" Jean playfully slapped his arm. "Talking about Kurt's girlfriend in
such ways."
"The burger? My girlfriend?" Kurt stared at the brown-haired girl as she
poked her food with a distasteful expression.
"Nope, I'm single."
"Kurt." Scott yanked on his ear suddenly. "Stay away from her. I heard that she smokes."
"Like… cigarettes?" Jean inquired.
"No, I mean weed." Scott tugged on Kurt's ear again. "I mean it, blue boy."
"Aww." Kurt pushed Scott's hand away. "You're not my father. Besides, I'm sure that she's perfectly
friendly. See, watch."
Under the stares from his friends,
Kurt stood and made his way over to where the object of their conversation was
seated. She had finished prodding the
edibles and was staring at the pages of a book intensely. Kurt placed his tray down across from
her. It clattered loudly.
The girl jumped. She slowly looked up at the source of the
disturbance with an approaching-homicidal expression on her face. She spoke quietly in an evenly controlled
tone. "Can I help
you?"
Kurt was taken aback, but
persisted. He raised one hand and waved
it a little. "Hi! I'm Kurt Wagner. I just wanted to say--"
"--hi?" She finished for
him sharply. "That you thought
that maybe, oh maybe, we could be friends?" She snapped her book closed and picked up
her tray. Her gray-green eyes
flashed. "Leave me a lone, Kurt
Wagner. You won't regret it."
With that, she stalked off, leaving
Kurt and her book lying on the table.
Evan, Scott, and Jean ambled
over. Evan was laughing his head
off.
Kurt shook himself out of his
shock. He pretended to feel the air
with his hands. "Whoa, palpable
animosity!"
"I know, dude. You could probably cut it with a
knife!"
Scott snickered, plopping down next
to Kurt. "That went well."
"Yeah, well…" Kurt idly
picked up the book that the girl had errantly left. "I'd better return this to her before she thinks I stole it
and eats me alive."
What? You think that self-discovery takes one
chapter? Dream on, you'll be seeing
more of me.
