Jack had been waiting outside of Breadstix for about a half an hour. He'd only just moved to McKinley and he didn't know anyone yet except the boy he'd met at the Lima Bean, Sebastian, who'd asked him out on Valentine's Day. But clearly, he wasn't coming. Jack was about to leave, picking up his things and heading out when someone opened up the doors and stormed out, running into him and successfully knocking him over and his phone and chocolates out of his arms.

Dave had never been more mortified, or humiliated, in his entire life. He'd really thought that Kurt had known it was him, that it was obvious...but apparently that wasn't the case. How the hell could someone mistake /him/ for that stupid hobbit that Kurt was dating? He was twice his size. He shook his head as he stormed out of Breadstix, determined not to cry. His eyes widened in shock when he accidentally ran into someone and knocked them over, mumbling an apology as he helped him up. He didn't even bother to look at him, just handed him his chocolates and went to sit on the bench outside of the restaurant. He'd had his Dad drop him off and told him to come back in an hour, and there was no way he was going to call him to pick him up /now/.

Jack winced as the stranger helped him up, rubbing his scraped palms on his jeans, frowning and picking up his cellphone, seeing the crack in the screen and sighing. He looked up at the boy who had knocked him over for a second and then went over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Um... Are you alright?" He asked softly, biting his lip and trying to decide whether or not he should just turn and leave him alone.

"Yea. I'm fine." He said gruffly, tossing the head of his gorilla suit into the garbage can as he scowled. He was worried about what was going to happen at school the next day, and if that stupid Mick douche would tell the whole school they saw him with, and get rejected by, Kurt Hummel.

"Okay..." Jack nodded, not wanting to push it. "Well.. Um.. Do you want these?" He handed him the chocolates in his hand. "My date kind of bailed and.. well, can you consider it 'bailing' if they never actually showed up? Anyways, if I take them home, I'll just end up eating the whole thing and then I'll get sick and I'll be slow at dance class tomorrow and so yeah. Anyways. Do you.. want them?" He rambled, rocking back and forth on his heels nervously.

Dave looked down a the chocolates in his hand, shaking his head in disbelief when he realized they were the butterscotch kind. "The butterscotch ones are my favorite..." He mumbled quietly, sighing. "Uh thanks. And sorry, you know, about your date ditching you."

"Hey, mine too." Jack smiled, "Oh, it's okay. I kinda just met him the other day, because I'm new here and I really don't know anyone and he bought my coffee for me and I was feeling kind of alone before anyways.. Wait, is it pathetic if I admit that? Oh well, I just told you I got ditched on Valentine's Day by someone I just met, you probably already think I'm pathetic. Anyways. Okay. I will just leave now. Sorry."

"No, I don't think you're pathetic." He said as he shook his head, wishing he was wearing anything other than the stupid gorilla suit. It was really hot. "And trust me, I know pathetic." He sighed. He'd been an idiot to think Kurt would ever go for someone like him.

Jack laughed a little, reaching down and tracing his fingers across the nylon gorilla hair, wrinkling his nose a little. "Don't tell me. Your girlfriend is scared of gorillas?" He grinned, stepping back and placing his hands in his pockets, not wanting to get in his personal space too long.

"Not exactly." He said as he shook his head, frowning at the word girlfriend. By this time tomorrow, probably no one in Ohio would ever think he could have a girlfriend. "I never stood a chance."

"Why's that?" Jack cocked his head to the side, hearing his phone start buzzing in his pocket, glancing once at the number and hitting ignore, turning his attention back to the boy in front of him.

"None of your business, new kid." He snapped, sighing and shaking his head when he realized he was getting aggressive towards the kid for no reason. "Sorry."

Jack raised his hands and backed away a step or two from Dave. "Sorry. I didn't mean to be nosy. Anyways. I should get going. Good luck with whatever." He gestured in the boy's general vicinity, turning to walk away and looking over his shoulder. "But if it makes any difference, I think you make a cute gorilla."

Dave couldn't help but blush at the compliment, coughing to clear his throat, as he turned around to look at the other boy. "Uh thanks..." He paused for a second, hesitating, before offering a smile. "And your date? She's an idiot for blowing you off."

Jack laughed, looking down at his feet and then back up at the other boy. "He is an idiot, isn't he." He put a little emphasis on the first 'he'. "I'm Jack by the way. See ya around." He gave him one last smile before turning back around and shoving his hands in his pockets, heading towards his car.

Dave just blinked a couple times as he watched him go, shaking his head. Maybe this was some kind of sign, or something.
