Kurt was rushing down the stairs in an attempt to hurry to an impromptu Warblers performance. Suddenly a hand tapped him on the shoulder. He spun around and saw an olive skinned boy with dark brown eyes, wearing a baseball cap and the Dalton uniform.
"Um, I'm new here." said the boy, and Kurt was shocked. He had never met another guy with a voice that sounded like a girls the way his did. Granted, this boys range was lower, but it still had a feminine quality to it. "What exactly is going on?"
Kurt smiled as he remembered that this was where he had first met his best friend, Blaine in an attempt to spy on the Warblers when he was still with the New Directions!
So he thought it would be fun to say what Blaine had said to him. "The Warblers. They're like rockstars. Every now and then they throw an impromptu performance that tends to shut the school down for a while. I'm Kurt, by the way."
"I'm Alex" said the new kid. Kurt cursed under his breath as he realized he was going to be late. No matter though, he'd just take the shortcut Blaine had showed him. But he didn't want the new kid to be left alone... He grabbed his hand and said "come on I'm gonna be late if we don't take the shortcut."
Memories of the first day Kurt met Blaine came flooding through his mind as he rushed through the hallway towards the choir room. They finally reached their destination and Kurt excused himself and he and Blaine took the leads on 'Animal', minus the gas pain faces, thankfully thought Kurt.
Alex was watching Kurt with such fascination and listening with even more. Alex had never heard a guy with such a high voice and large vocal range. He thought Kurt was pretty cute too... Especially those eyes. It been a long time since Alex had had a boyfriend, and he was interested in Kurt... But then he saw the looks Kurt was giving and getting to and from the olive skinned curly haired kid. "Dammit" thought Alex. "All the cute guys."
After the performance was over Kurt walked over to Alex with Blaine close behind.
"Blaine, this is Alex," introduced Kurt. "Alex, Blaine." Blaine stuck his hand out politely, but he really didn't like the way this new kid was eye-balling Kurt.
"So, Alex, are you gay?" the question had caught both Kurt and Alex off guard.
"I- I uh... I'm not- but uh... Yeah I like boys... I'm gay." said Alex.
"Good to know." said Blaine almost threateningly.
Awkward silence...
"Well, there's lunch next so you van just sit with us for now, new kid" said Kurt with a friendly wink. Blaine thought it was a little too friendly...
As they were walking down the hallway to the commons, Kurt leaned over and whispered to Blaine, "What the hell was that all about?"
"What? All I did was ask him if he was gay." Blaine said trying to sound innocent.
"I know but the way you said it... Just try to be nice..." when Blaine rolled his eyes, Kurt pleaded with his best puppy dog eyes, "For me?"
"Fine, but I don't like the way he was looking at you. All flirty and shi- stuff." Blaine caught his sailors mouth just in time.
Kurt looked taken aback. "Blaine Warbler!" Kurt joked. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were jealous!"
"I'm not!" exclaimed Blaine defensively. "I just don't want my best friend getting played by some... Player."
Kurt rolled his eyes. "I don't think Alex is the 'playing' type, Blaine." this worried Blaine even more, because Kurt never said he WASN'T interested in Alex.
They caught up with the Warblers at the usual lunch table. "Warblers," announced Kurt. "I'd like you to meet the newest addition to Dalton Academy, Alex..."
"Gomez." said Alex.
"Alex Gomez." parroted Kurt. "Welcome to Dalton!"
"So, do you sing well?" asked Wes bluntly.
"That's a question for my shower head." said Alex, receiving a laugh from the rest of the Warblers. "I like to sing, but I have no idea what I sound like."
"Why don't you audition for the Warblers then?" suggested Kurt.
"I don't know, I've only been in choir before. By the way, Kurt there's something I've been meaning to ask you something. What voice part are you?"
"Soprano." said Blaine jokingly, resulting in a dirty look from Kurt.
"The correct term in countertenor." said Kurt matter-of-factly.
"Wow, I wish I could sing soprano, I'm just an alto." said Alex, receiving puzzled looks from the guys. "Oh, yeah when I started choir in sixth grade, my voice was too high to be a tenor, but it wasn't super high either, so they stuck me with the altos, which I didn't mind. I have an extremely limited range. I can barley sing through an octave and a half comfortably... You guys make a cute couple by the way." said Alex with a smile.
"We're not-" began Kurt and Blaine.
"They DO don't they!" interrupted Wes.
Blaine and Kurt shot him a dirty look. "We're not dating." said Blaine.
"Yet." Wes mumbled.
Alex began to pull out his iPod. "That's not such a great idea..." warned Blaine.
"Why not?" asked Alex. He was answered by David snatching the iPod out of his hands.
"That's why."
David began reading the names of the songs. "As She's Walking Away. She's Not The Cheating Kind. Lots of Rascal songs. Lots of country. Avril Lavigne. Some The Script. Defying Gravity. As If We Never Said Goodbye."
"I LOVE those songs!" said Kurt. "Well I've never heard of Rascal Flatts, I was talking about the last two."
"Wait a second." said Alex. "You've never heard of Rascal Flatts!" Kurt shook his head. "Here Comes Goodbye?"
"No."
"Unstoppable?"
"Nope."
"What Hurts The Most?"
"Can't say that I've heard of it."
"As soon as I finish unpacking, you are coming to my room and listening to all those songs!" Alex claimed enthusiastically.
"Well, I'm done with my food and so are you, I could help you unpack if you want." offered Kurt.
"Really! Thanks! That would be so helpful!" they picked up their trash and went up the stairs. With a shocked Blaine staring after them.
"So it IS possible!" exclaimed Nick.
"What?" asked Wes.
"Well, two things actually. First for Kurt to voluntarily leave Blaine's side. And two for mister proper and dapper to have a little green monster on his back."
"I'm NOT jealous." said Blaine still staring at the staring at the staircase.
"Sure," said Wes sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "Just like you're NOT in love with Kurt either."

"You didn't bring much clothes for a dormer." said Kurt. "I brought about half of my wardrobe." Kurt laughed.
"Yeah, I'm more of a jeans and graphic tee guy I guess." replied Alex. "Ok so that's about it. Wanna hear those songs now?"
"Sure thing!"
"Ok, the first one I want you to see is 'Here Comes Goodbye' I have that music video and the one for 'What Hurts The Most' on my iPod."
The intro showed an old man and young girl In a snow covered graveyard. The slow piano intro started then the lyrics started.
I can hear the truck tires comin up the gravel road
And it's not like her to drive that slow and nothings on the radio
Footsteps on my front porch I hear my doorbell
She usually comes right in
Now I can tell
Here comes goodbye
Here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night the first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain
Here comes me wishing things had never changed that she was right here in my arms tonight
But here comes goodbye...
"Oh. My. Gaga. That was BEAUTIFUL!" Kurt said crying. "Next song! Next song!"
"Ok! Ok! Calm down! The next one is 'What Hurts The Most.' If you think THAT one made you cry..."
The video intro showed a teenage girl crying onto a toilet as if she was vomiting from crying so hard. The slow violin intro came on. Then:
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once In a while Even though Goin on With you gone Still upsets me
There are days Every now And again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me!
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing, what could've been
And not seeing that loving you is what I was trying to do
The song was intercut with scenes of a boy crying and driving away, and flipping over in his truck I'm a fatal accident. The final scene is the teenage girl at a memorial site on the side of the road, with flowers and his picture.
Kurt was bawling by this point, snuggling up against Alex "Oh Gaga! I'm such a baby! But I could do this for hours!" Kurt said sniffing.
"Me too," said Alex smiling at Kurt. Alex's heart leapt when Kurt returned the smile.
