Dalton for the Elite
The idea of this story was a prompt from closetklaine27. I love Dalton!Klaine so I just had to write this story. This chapter is not beta'd so excuse bad grammar and such. This is my first attempt at Kaine fan fiction.
Prologue
Kurt stared blankly at his computer screen, which read, "Thank you, your application has been submitted. A response will punctually follow."
*flashback*
It was another average, gloomy, day at school for Kurt Hummel. Or at least that is what it began as. Oddly enough Kurt was in a rather chipper mood texting his friends while walking down the school's hallway. Unknowingly, a large beast sized boy wearing a letterman jacket quickly creped behind the pale boy and aggressively shoved his blackberry to the hard, cold ground. The behemoth promptly shoved Kurt against the red lockers. After, he simply walked off as if he had done nothing wrong.
Despite, the aching feeling in Kurt's steadily bruising back he gritted the pain and decided to actively confront his assailant by running after him and shouting, "Hey I'm talking to you!" Kurt followed Karofsky to the boys' locker room. Karofsky barely responded by casually facing away from Kurt, "The girls' locker room is next door." Kurt angrily asked, "What is your problem?!" Unoriginally, he responded, "Besides you peeking in here to take a peek at my junk." Irritated, Kurt said, "Oh, every straight guy's nightmare that all us gays are out there to molest and convert you. Well guess what, Hammock, you're not my type." Karofsy quipped, "That right?" "Yeah, I don't dig on chubby boys who sweat too much and are going to be bald by the time their thirty," Kurt quickly responded. This was enough to push Karofsky to the point that he threatened him with his fist and a warning.
However, Kurt kept going. He encouraged the larger boy to hit him because there was no point. He did not have the power to "punch the gay out" of Kurt just like how Kurt cannot punch "the ignoramus" out of Karofsky. At this point, the larger boy was so enraged that he was red in the face and angrily told the smaller boy to "GET OUT OF MY FACE!" But before he had time to cool down or recover from Kurt's past statements Kurt further retorted, "You are nothing but a scared little boy that can't handle how extraordinarily ordinary you are."
For whatever reason, Karofsky at that moment came to the consensus that grabbing Kurt's face and aggressively shoving their mouths in a kiss was a good idea. However, Kurt shocked by the move was unable to make a response due to the surprising secret the larger boy exposed of himself and in result assault his own well being. When Karofsky finally pulled away he mistakenly to take the lack of response as a green light to continue for another kiss. But, before he was able to do such Kurt quickly shoved the beast off of him and ran out of the locker room and ran to the girls' bathroom to hide.
*end flash back*
Looking back, Kurt only felt disgusted, violated, and insecure. This was the last straw for him. He barely endured the constant growing bullying by basically himself, the poor education he was receiving at William McKinley High, lack of funding for the arts, and a virtually uncaring group of peers unable to even understand his point of view. He had decided to take matters into his own hands because it is his life and he could not be bothered to have his father be involved due to his sensitive heart problems.
He researched possible schools to transfer to and found an academy in Westerville about an hour's drive away from Lima. Dalton was known for being a private school for the elite. Essentially, all the rich boys of the Midwestern part of the United States and various other regions (including internationally) went to finish off secondary schooling. Dalton had an 86% acceptance rate of high school graduates getting accepted into Ivy League colleges and an 11% likelihood of becoming a Rhode scholar. If he were able to get into this school he essentially would be set for life. [Although the tuition is far stepper than his family can afford. Any the chances of him even getting in were slim to none odds.] But all he could do was try because one truly never knows the outcomes until they happen. Thank god it is Friday because having to go back to the hell hole named William McKinley High was not something he could emotionally or physically handle. All that was left to do was finish the small under challenging homework he had, rest, and wait for the response to his enrollment/scholarship application for Dalton.
The next day, Kurt found himself bored and melancholy due to his friends lack in involvement in his life as of late. They had all paired off to couples the seemed to swap partners weekly, excluding himself and Mercedes. Although, was still slightly estranged from him since the broken car incident. He was just about to busy himself with either reality TV, planning new outfits, or harassing his father into eating healthy foods and exposing his hidden stash of junk food. However, his phone erupted into his Bad Romance ringtone. When he answered the phone a cheerful secretary informed him that she worked at Dalton and that under normal circumstances would not have responded so quickly to his application but due to its excellence and highly rated components the school eagerly pushed it rather quickly through the routine process. Hearing these words served to lighten Kurt's mood and cause his mouth to twitch as if it was near breaking into a smile. The secretary further glumly chatted about its extraordinary qualities. It was then that she informed him due to his family's financial status the application had to be considered differently from the average application they received for the school. This caused Kurt to falter and think, 'What if I don't get in because my family is not rich enough?' Quickly his train of thought was cut off by the lady continuing to talk. That was when Kurt got confused. "Congratulations…what are you talking about?" he asked her. "I was just saying that your scholarship for English and French comes in quite handy because it covers all your expenses at Dalton until you graduate."
At that point, Kurt stood stock still. He could not believe it! Then a small toothless small broke out on his face and he thanked the lady and continued to discuss the terms of his transfer, which would start on the following Tuesday, but he would be given a full tour from a fellow student on Monday. He thanked the secretary again and ended the phone call. Giddily, Kurt left his room to approach his father with the outstanding good news.
