Can't Be Tamed
Chapter One: Part of Something I Don't Know
I sat my books down in an empty maroon colored chair that was placed next to me.
I chose a seat in the first row, center. A place where I could be easily seen by the teacher.
But I wasn't the one who originally chose this seat.
The person who I put my books down for was the one who insisted this seat.
I put down my books to save a seat for this person.
I actually was surprised she wasn't here already, she usually always loves being first to class.
In case, she misses an important solo op.
But today, I was here saving a seat for my girlfriend.
Which unusual for me, Kurt Hummel.
To have a girlfriend.
Especially Rachel.
I saw Kurt saving a seat for her today.
Rachel, I mean.
I don't get it.
I thought gay people liked boys, right?
So why do they go out with girls.
Why would he even pick Rachel, if apparently, he was now a swinger.
They HATE each other.
I knew that Rachel was always jealous of Kurt when he would talk to me and stuff.
But Kurt hates her anyway, I never really knew why.
I mean she's annoying and stuff and kind of freaks me out.
But I guess she has her moments.
She's not really worth hating, is she?
Did I not know something?
Was there something that he had hated but had worked out with her?
They had sure worked something out because they were there sitting. Holding hands.
Smiles plastered across their faces.
Kurt's, odd blue-green eyes shining.
Rachel's, full of passion.
It made me mad.
Maybe it was the fact that I didn't I have that anymore.
Quinn, had lied to me.
But worst of all.
Puck, my best friend, had lied to me.
And I was supposed to always trust him.
Best friends forever and all that 'kumbuyah' crap.
That's a funny phrase, kumbuyah.
Haha, I don't even know how to spell it.
But I think I hear my mother use it when she was talking about a PTO meeting she went to…
(flashback to Finn's mom)
"I hate all those mothers there, they think everything is so peachy. They don't have to raise an 8 year son all by themselves. And making fun of my acid wash. Let's see if they can rock it, I don't think they can. No, they go and sing kumbuyah with there Betty Crocker cakes and Martha Stewart smiles…"
(back to Finn thinking)
Anyway, what was I thinking?
Oh yeah, Puck.
Oh god, I just hate him.
But right now I feel so much hate for those two…lovebirds.
I mean how can he ev—
Shit, Rachel caught me looking at them.
And now she's saying something to Kurt…
And now he's looking over here and yep.
Now he's coming over to kick my ass.
If he even can.
Now I'm approaching Finn.
He was admiring Rachel.
And she's making me be a strong boyfriend and tell him to back off.
Except I can't.
Because first, I don't even like her.
Honestly, the way this all happened was weird.
It was two weeks ago after Glee…
(flashback)
"Hey Kurt, do you think I could maybe -uh- talk to you for a minute?" She asked politely, but obviously nervous. I was beyond curious but I tried not to show it. I mean, it's Rachel Berry. It couldn't be that good. Plus, I could care less about what she had to say. It was probably something like they had finally gotten together. 'They' was Rachel and Finn. The two leads of our dear, little Glee club.
"What is it that you want, diva?" I said, flipping the black Versace shoulder bag so it would fit sung against my jutting hips. Luckily, I had a bit of curvature. Not much, but it'd do.
"I thought that maybe…you'd want to court," she said looking up for a reaction.
I rolled my eyes and chuckled. She could NOT be serious.
"I'm serious Kurt. Look, I've been thinking lately and there's got to be a reason for the tension and hatred between each other. And I've figured it out. It's sexual tension,"
I looked blankly on.
"I've been feeling it," she said placing her hand on the top part of my arm, "…and you have too. It's obvious. And it's natural. We're both attractive, young talents." I stared at her with fearsome eyes. But then in that moment I had a devious thought.
See, I have been in love with Finn Hudson forever.
And so has Rachel.
But Finn has always seemed to favor her.
Maybe if I date her, I will look like I'm trying to get along with her.
And Finn will keep his eyes off Rachel and on more important things.
Like, why the hell would I, Kurt Hummel, who I must admit is gayer than Ru Paul, go out with a girl?
Let alone Rachel.
His mind must be spinning right about now.
I can see it in his eyes.
I must now tell him to back off.
"Back off, she's mine," I say with the fakest sincerity I have in my body.
He smiles slightly, almost apologetically.
"I, of course, will. She's yours," he says turning his head to face the center of the class.
I hesitate, watching his brown eyes stay still as I stare. His eyes don't move or blink, and it makes me feel awkward.
I turn to leave but I catch his eyes move to stare out of his peripheral vision.
I stare at them out of the corner of my eye.
We learned the word for this in like 4th grade.
It's like parenthetical vision.
Or something like that.
Maybe because our corner vision is small and our straight on vision is big.
So the straight on vision is like the parent and the corner vision is the child.
But that wouldn't make sense, the corner would have to be the parent.
I don't know.
Anyway, I'm looking at them and I see his eyes catch me again.
But he doesn't tell.
He just goes back to be the boyfriend role.
So I decide I can't hurt myself anymore.
To see her with him.
He shouldn't be with her.
He should be with someone who really cares for him.
And appreciates him.
He should be with me.
Ok, so I really like the first chapter. Or maybe that's just me.
But this fanfic is going to be so different than what I usually write.
It's going to be so AU, it'll be mind boggling.
But at the same time, I'm trying to stay in character and it won't really be based on the Glee plotlines.
So don't pay attention with who gets together with who in the episodes because they won't matter to my story. Maybe Jesse, but that's about it.
I hope you guys like. Please REVIEW and give me ideas on what to write next. And be sure to watch for a new chapter of my fanfic The Race after its lengthy hiatus.
