"Are you guys ready for tomorrow?" Mr. Schue asked as he stood in front of the glee clubbers.
His question was met by cheers.
"Wait," Kurt said, "What's tomorrow?"
"Wild McKinley?" Mr. Schue reminded him, "When we all go camping for three days, we've been talking about it for weeks."
"I thought that was just a joke!" Kurt gasped, "I'm not going camping, it's gross."
"Boys love camping." Brittany pointed out, "Maybe you'll get out there and automatically like it."
"Woah," Santanna put up a hand, "Kurt's a boy?"
"I'll cut you, girl." Mercedes threatened, standing up for her best friend.
"You'd better get packing, Hummel." Puck smirked.
"How did you not know that this was real?" Finn laughed.
Kurt crossed his arms and pouted, "I hate camping."
"It will be fun, Kurt." Mr. Schue assured him, "Trust me."
Kurt didn't agree. He had been camping only one other time, that was with his aunt and her girlfriend when he was seven. Kurt had to sleep in a tent and woke up to find a racoon right beside him. Ever since that day he never went camping again and he hated racoons.
"So you guys will just go straight to homeroom first hour and-" Mr. Schue stopped as Rachel's hand shot up, "Yes Rachel?"
"Will we be with our homeroom class the whole time?" Rachel asked.
"Yes." Mr. Schue answered.
Kurt groaned and everyone knew why. He was the only one who didn't have another glee clubber in his homeroom, instead he was stuck with the hockey and football jocks. "This just keeps getting worse, I think I'm gonna get a three day sickness tomorrow."
"If you miss it then your grades automatically go down one letter in every class." Mr. Schue informed him.
"What?" Santanna was actually planning on skipping, "That's stupid."
"Just stand by the teacher and you'll be okay." Mr. Schue advised Kurt, "Mrs. Lions loves you."
Kurt sighed and nodded. He still had a bad feeling about this camping trip.
Mr. Schue continued, "Plus you guys will all see each other at lunch and free times, which we'll need to practice for the end of camp concert."
The classroom buzzed with a mix of joy and anxiety. They had a chance to show how good they were, but what if they blew it?
Kurt didn't care, he was more worried about what the jocks would do to him and racoons.

"Come on, Kurt!" Finn called excitedly from the front door. He had his overstuffed backpack strapped to his shoulders and a safari hat on.
"I'm coming!" Kurt hauled his two bags over to Finn.
"Kurt!" Burt yelled then came running into the entry way with Carol, "One bag."
Kurt sighed and tossed his bag full of moisturizers and whatnot, "If I get a pimple I'm blaming- Why are you guys wearing backpacks?" Kurt noticed the bags hanging off the couple's shoulders.
"We're chaperoning!" Carol squealed, "Isn't this so exciting?"
Finn's enthusiasm just increased, "Yeah, now you guys can protect Kurt!"
"What?" Burt's smiled disappeared, "Why does Kurt need protection?"
"His whole homeroom hates him." Finn said, still excited.
"No they don't, Finn." Kurt rolled his eyes, "Don't worry about it dad."
"Let's go!" Finn jumped up and down, his backpack made it quite awkward to do of course.
The family piled into Burt's pickup (Kurt and Finn had to get in the truck bed to Finn's excitement and Kurt's dismay) and made their way to McKinley.
"Okay," Carol said to Burt, "I'll go with Kurt and you go with Finn."
"Alright," Burt gave his wife a kiss on the cheek, ignoring the 'ew's from the two teens. "See you later."
Kurt slumped into one of the desks in his homeroom. There used to be seating charts, but no one ever followed them so Kurt's seat was taken.
Carol sat down in the desk behind Kurt, "Aren't you excited?"
"Not really." Kurt sighed and propped his head up on his hand. Kurt ignored the piece of paper that someone chucked at the side of his head.
"Hey," Carol frowned as she picked the crumpled paper off the ground, "That was rude." She uncrumpled it and read what was written on it to herself. Kurt noticed her face go a little pale, "Uh, let's just throw this away." She quickly chucked it into the recycling bin and sat back down giving Kurt a concerned look.
Obviously the next three days weren't going to go so well.

Burt recognized a lot of Finn's classmates from when they visited him or Kurt at their house. He rcalled some of their names. Puck, Sam, Quinn, Artie, and Rachel. Finn went over to talk to his friends as Burt observed the other classmates.
Most of the kids were either sitting on desks texting, throwing stuff, loudly talking to friends, or making out. Burt felt slightly out of place until he noticed Mr. Schuester talking to their teacher. He walked over to join in the conversation.
"Yeah," Mr. K, Finn's homeroom teacher, was saying, "She is pretty scary."
"Hello, Mr. Hummel." Mr. Schue smiled, "Or is it Hummel-Hudson or what?"
"Burt will be fine." Burt smiled as he shook Mr. Schue's hand.
"Thank you for volunteering, Burt." Mr. K pulled a necklace with an ID card attatched to it, "Here you go."
Burt accepted the ID and put it around his neck. Hopefully his day would pick up when they got to the camp.
