Senior year.
What a magical thing to say.
You're last year of what hell brought you.
It's finally here.
Kurt Hummel was beyond ecstatic for his last year at McKinley High. For him after this year he would be in New York. With Rachel of course because who else is he gonna sing show tunes with?
One thing Kurt did hope for this year was that the bullying would die down because being the only openly gay guy at school was starting to get really hard. Freshman year is when it all started and it hasn't really stopped so he knew this would be his life until he graduated and left the bullies behind. But maybe this year would be different since Finn, the quarterback of the football team, was his brother. And maybe if he really prayed Finn would talk some sort of sense into those neanderthals.
Kurt took a deep breath and set his worries aside because walking into senior year with worries was not something he wanted at all. He hopped out of his Navigator and looked around. This year might actually be good but one thing for sure it's gonna be different.
"Kurt!" Rachel yelled catching up with him wrapping her arm with his as they made there way to there lockers. "Are you as ready as I am because right now we are one step closer to New York!" She said with a big smile and jazz hands.
"Okay Rachel calm down. We haven't even got to lunch yet." Kurt said with a small laugh.
"I know but just imagine our names, Rachel and Kurt, in big bright lights." She said looking into the distance. Probably imagining just that.
"You mean Kurt and Rachel." He said looking at her with a smirk.
"Uh huh. In your dreams Kurt." She said rolling her eyes looking away.
"Don't even get me started on my dreams." Kurt continued.
"Really?" She said going along with there little joke.
"Oh yes! I'm singing circles around you." Kurt said giving her a cocky grin.
"Hey now don't you get to cocky. May I remind you Defying Gravity."
"Ah of course. The day where I really started rolling my eyes at you."
"Hey!" She said punching Kurt's arm.
"No I'm kidding but New York does sound amaz—
Splash
"Oh my god Kurt!"
The familiar feeling of cold slushy covered Kurt's face. Dripping down all over his new designer outfit. He heard Rachel but didn't care because those stupid laughs from those stupid jocks echoed in his mind.
"Hey fairy! So nice to finally meet you."
Who was that? He's never heard that voice from his tormentors. But soon the thought left him and Rachel's voice was now in full gear best friend mode.
"Come on Kurt let's get you to a bathroom."At his side she picked him up to a standing position and took him away from the crowd that the bullies formed. Trying to send her dirtiest look there way.
Tears were starting to form in Kurt's eyes. How could he have been that naive and think the bullying would stop. Yeah maybe when Finn or Puck were around it would stop but not when he was all vulnerable and alone. And Finn still had a reputation to hold even if he was dating Rachel and in the glee club with a gay brother.
"Kurt it's fine. You don't have to cry. Your Ralph Lauren clothes will be okay." She said wiping away the red slushy that was beginning to sink into his clothes.
"It's not that Rachel!" Kurt snapped.
Rachel pulled her hand away shocked at the sudden change of emotion. "Then what is it?" She said sternly.
"I just really thought- god I'm so stupid." He said putting his hands to his face and crying again.
"You thought this would stop?"
"Y-yeah." He said wiping his tears and standing up looking at himself in the mirror. He took a deep breath, "but it's not so we just got to move on. Like you said one step closer to New York." He said turning around to face her.
Rachel was shocked about how Kurt's moods were changing so fast. She felt like she didn't know what to say. So she embraced him in a tight loving hug.
"Kurt I love you."
Then the tears started again. "I love you too." He said hugging her tighter.
"You're so strong and brave and I just know you can get through this. I'll help and those jocks won't know what's coming to them." She said with a reassuring smile.
"You'll definitely be able to tackle them down." Kurt said laughing. Rachel laughed too. Happy that the mood was lightening.
"With my amazing voice of course. It'll knock the wind out of all of them." They both started laughing. If one person could make Kurt feel better it would have to be Rachel. Even though they started out as frenemies Kurt can proudly say that she is one of his bestest friends.
"You ready to go? You know we still got classes and I think we should attend them to graduate and get out of here."
Suddenly the thought came back to Kurt's mind. Whose voice was that? Rachel probably wouldn't know but it never hurt to ask.
"Actually Rach."
"Yeah?"
"Do you know who threw that slushy at me. I've never heard his voice before."
"Oh that's the new guy Blaine Anderson."
"Oh"
"Yeah him and Finn are like bros. But I'm sure they won't be once he figures out that he's bullying you."
He better figure it out because Kurt does not need his new tormentor to magically appear at his house, playing video games with Finn, acting like nothing ever happened.
"But anyways let's head to class." She said holding out her hand for Kurt to take.
"Y-yeah." Kurt said a little breathless taking her hand and walking out of the bathroom.
Blaine Anderson
Great. Already sounds like trouble.
