A/N: The finale majorly pissed me off. I think Kurt definitely should have gotten into NYADA, and this is my idea of what really happened.

Disclaimer- If I owned Glee there would be no tortutous hiatus.

Enjoy!

It had been two months. Two months since graduation. Two months since the letters had come in the mail. Two months since Rachel had took off for New York and her dream. Their dream.

Kurt stared at his letter from NYADA in his hands. He had kept it, buried in the bottom of his night table's drawer where no one could find it. Burt and Carole had wanted to put his and Finn's rejection letters in a scrapbook, as a reminder of how far they'd come when they got their acceptance letters the next year. Finn had happily handed his over but Kurt couldn't.

He lied and said that he'd thrown it out the same day he's received it. No one had seen it, not Burt and Carole, not Finn and Rachel, and not even Blaine. They couldn't read it. Kurt's entire plan depended on them never finding out what the letter really said.

Dear Mr. Hummel,

It is my pleasure to congratulate you on your acceptance to the New York Academy of the Dramatic Arts! Your request to be admitted to the freshman class of 2013 rather than the freshman class of 2012 has been approved. For more information on your deferment you may contact the admissions office.

There was more but that was really all that matted. That and the signature at the bottom. Sincerely, Carmen Tibideaux.

Kurt had been hiding it all summer, and he would continue to hide it while he worked for the next year, faked applications and acceptance next year and lived happily ever after.

He knew how everyone would feel. They would be so disappointed in him. He had the chance to go to New York with Rachel and live out the dream he'd had since forever. Blaine would feel guilty, thinking that Kurt was putting his education on hold because of him. Sure, that was a part of it but it was also selfish on Kurt's part. He wanted Blaine to be a part of his dream, and if waiting a year to go to college made that happen, then it was the least he could do.

Plus, Burt's doctor was afraid that Burt might have another heart attack if he didn't relax and distress. With Kurt in New York and tuition to pay, Burt would be working himself ragged, trying to fill in all of the shifts without hiring and make as much money as possible. Add the anxiety that came with sending your kid alone half-way across the country, and Kurt was sure it would be enough to kill his father.

So, he called Ms. Tibideaux and expressed his concerns. She told him how much he'd impressed her and how much she liked him for it. And even though she wasn't supposed to, she informed him that he had, in fact, been accepted. It was two weeks before the letters would be sent out; he was the first kid in the world to know.

To say that Carmen Tibideaux was shocked when Kurt said he would have to turn down the offer, would be a huge understatement. And the say that Kurt was shocked when she offered to help him work out a plan to transfer his acceptance to the next year, would be an even bigger understatement.

He'd made his decision without consulting anyone. It was all planned out. He'd work, part-time at his dad's shop and part-time somewhere else, spend time with his friends and family and in a year's time, he, Blaine, Finn and whoever else was coming could all go to New York together.

All Kurt had to do was make sure no one saw that letter.

Please let me know what you all think! Should I leave this as a one-shot or continue it.

I was thinking that if I make this a multi-chapter fic, then each chapter wuold be someone finding out his secret.

Please review with opinions!
