Going to stop talking now… Now… shutting up… bubye… read please VV :3
"He's here, he's here, he's here!" chimed the two four year olds that just so happened to be disguised as Blaine's classmates. They trampled down the halls just missing the Anderson who was coming out of his room to inspect the cattle.
Well it was almost just.
"Get off of me!" Blaine demanded shoving Wes off before his legs fell asleep.
"But Blaine-!" David sounded like an impatient toddler. "He's here!"
"Get. Off!" He warned again and David removed his being from Blaine's personal space before he got a 'bitch slap.'
"Blaine, you're no fun anymore, know that?" Wes inquired folded his arms across his chest.
"Yeah, ever since Kurt arrived you've been at his every whim and call." David agreed.
"Ignoring you're best friends!"
"The ones who were always there for you,"
"Ones, who always will be,"
"It's tragic," David shook his head in dismal and brought a hand to his heart. He latched an arm around Wes' shoulder.
"Isn't it just," Blaine smirked and held out a hand for help up. Wes complied.
Suddenly Harry materialised out of his room from across the hall, leaning against the door frame and smirked at the three boys. "So what are you cool kids up to then?" he folded his arms across his chest and raised an eyebrow. "Who's here?"
"The new kid!" David smirked and went to dust some imaginary lint from Blaine's shoulder. Blaine swatted his hand away and sent him a scolding look.
"What new kid?" Harry asked furrowing his brows.
"Kurt's new roommate," Wes added raising his eyebrows suggestively. This caught the Anderson's attention.
"Kurt's what?" He spluttered.
"His new roommate," David smiled casually side stepping around the curly haired soloist.
"His new bed buddy," Wes said and followed David.
"And they can frolic in daisy meadows."
"And paint pretty pictures together,"
They back stepped away and the Asian-American turned to his friend.
"Shall we?" He suggested.
"We shall," And with that the both spun around and sprinted towards the front door again to 'greet' the new arrival.
Harry ran a hand through his brunet curls and shared a look with Blaine.
Though Blaine looked more concerned than Harry, they both ended up chasing after the pair of so called seventeen year olds.
"Noah Duck!" David directed, hurdling him as soon as he went down. Noah straightened himself out and sent a quizzical look in the dark teen's direction.
"S'cuse me Noah!" Wes yelled running past the blond not quite as sophisticated as his best friend and bumping him into the wall.
"What-What the hell?" He gasped breathlessly and held the books tight to his chest.
Blaine sprinted after them and completely ignored Noah apart from a muffled, "sorry,"
It was only Harry who stopped and apologised. Explaining briefly whilst panting and brushing Noah's blue blazer down, "There's a new boy he's boarding with Kurt," and he carried on again as if this was an adequate enough excuse.
"There's a new kid?"
Hey Wes have you-?" said boy – who had over taken his best friend - thrashed past completely ignoring the redhead. "-never mind then,"
"Hey David are you-?" Once again Eli was redeemed invisible. "-or not,"
He didn't even bother to stop Harry or Blaine. A beat then he proclaimed absently to the now empty hallway, "I hate you all," before retreating back into his dorm and slamming the door behind him just as Noah stormed past.
Wes and David skidded to a halt observing Kurt as he came slowly down the steps. He froze in horror. Both heads tilted to the side comically awaiting acknowledgment.
"Yes?" Kurt finally complied, sighing.
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"What?" David asked furrowing his brows.
"Um…" Kurt eyed the pair.
"Oh right!" Wes said remembering what they were doing. "Guess what?"
"Do I have to?"
"Yes." David nodded
"What?"
"Guess."
Kurt shook his head and began to wonder why he agreed to live in this mental institute.
"Look if you're not going to tell me I'll just go ask Blai-"
"You have a new roommate!" They chirped in unison looking delighted.
Kurt's face paled at the thought of having to share a room with another crazy and his grip tightened on the stair banister. "No way,"
"Yes way," David nodded "All the way in fact."
And with that Blaine materialised behind the pair. He grinned unsurely his eyes begging for mercy. "…Surprise?"
"Blaine Anderson, you didn't think to inform me of that before hand?" Kurt dug "I could have already gone and complained and got them to switch him, my wardrobe isn't big enough for the two of us you know, it's bad enough I had to leave some at home, there is no way I'm halving my clothes space allowance." He pointed a sharp menacing finger at the Anderson having made his way down all of the steps.
"Yeah, Slight complication there," The soloist shot daggers at the two angelic boys next to him who turned to each other and shrugged. "I didn't actually know until today, sorry."
Kurt rubbed his temples. "It's… It's Okay," he smiled reassuringly, though his breath was staggered. "Its fine, I can go to faculty now." Then he asked. "When does he get here?"
The doorbell chimed and Harry, Noah, Eli and a few other boys who dormed in the same house materialised behind them to inspect the new boy.
Wes lifted his blazer sleeve and puffed. He shook his head whilst staring at his wrist at a non-existent watch. "Yeah that'll be him right now."
Kurt's eyes widened and he stated indecorously. "I hate you both."
A little mumble came from Eli, "Thank you!"
"I'm insulted Kurteus!" David supplied looking and grabbing at the material over the left side of his chest. "I thought you liked us!"
"You thought wrong." Kurt rolled his eye, brushing the whole 'Kurteus' thing off without a second thought and turned to the door taking the cold metal handle in his hand. Okay, he thought to himself, here goes nothing.
He opened the door.
Gasps filled the room followed by an unsettling silence.
"Shiz, the new guy's hot!" David declared and blinked a couple times.
Ignoring his obscene language Kurt stared at the 'New boy' bewildered.
"Boys usually don't have boobs, right, like skinny ones?" Eli felt the need to clarify. Noah shook his head.
"Not usually."
The mousey blonde at the door raised an eyebrow and scowled at them all.
Fantastic, a bunch of idiots.
"Hi, I'm Kurt," Kurt said calmly holding a hand out. The new kid took it and smiled.
"Cody,"
"So you are a guy?" Eli furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head.
Cody glared at him giving him an 'are-you-serious' stare. "No, it's a unisex name?" She offered slowly. "Girl and boy?"
Eli shrugged indecorously.
"Sorry, I don't mean to come across rude-" Blaine wearily spoke up bending forward between the wonder twins, "-but, this is meant to be an all boys school," He eyed her up and down. "You're a girl."
"Yes, thank you for noticing," She smiled sweetly though the sarcasm hung deafly in the air.
"Ouch," harry smirked. "This is so going in the Dalton newsletter."
"I burn that thing man," Wes scowled looking over his shoulder. "Roast my marshmallows over it and all,"
Harry gave a mock impression of being stabbed.
"Wow, that was harsh dude," David shook his head.
"S'true though," Wes shrugged "You eat my marshmallows too!"
"that's true I do like the marshmallows," David agreed dreamily. "Sorry Harry,"
"Hey!"
Cody blinked, seemingly a little fazed by this odd behaviour.
"You get used to it," Kurt promised and opened the door further. "Come in, it must be freezing out there."
"Yeah, a bit," She smiled and pulled her scarf up to her chin.
"Dibs." Wes said suddenly out of nowhere.
"You can't call dibs just like that!" David frowned and sounded a little disheartened.
Most of the bystanders took no notice. All but Cody.
"Should I-?"
"Nope. Just follow me." Kurt instructed leaving the two to fight amongst their selves and heading upstairs. The blonde girl in tow. Blaine smiled charmingly watching Kurt make friends with the
'New boy'.
He was interrupted by David whacking him over the head with a roll of sheet music.
"Stop staring at the boy's ass!" He demanded laughing.
Blaine mimicked the colour of a fire truck and glared at his 'friend' "I wasn't-!"
"You were staring at Cody?" Wes gasped and his hands covered his mouth.
"Are my eyes deceiving me, Is Blaine turning straight?" David gaped draping an arm around Wes' shoulder.
The two received death glares. "I hate you both." He stated and headed back to his own dorm.
"You love us Blaine-y!" They both called chasing after him.
Eli turned to Harry wide eyed and jaw hanging. He stated. "Man. She Was so hot!"
Harry shrugged. "She's okay I guess,"
Eli looked at him like he was a terrorist that just set himself alight in a busy street.
"You're blind mate, should get that sorted or is Blaine starting to infect you?" Eli teased and prodded his chest. "You know, living that close to Blaine must be getting to you,"
Harry just rolled his eyes and headed back down the hall.
The door shut behind him and Eli burst into his own hysteria. He was left alone.
Kurt Lead Cody to his – their room. "So, welcome to the hole, I guess." He lunged at a scarf splayed on the bed and held it behind his back. Cody – Being Cody – was oblivious. As usual.
"That'll be your side of the room." Kurt nodded to the opposite side that he had take over with clothes. "I guess I'll move that stuff."
"No, it's fine." Cody smiled and dropped her bag onto the bed and falling onto it. "Wow, this place is so big. Bigger than I imagined."
Kurt smirked leaning against his desk, the side that wasn't crowded with sheet music.
"Yeah I got the same impression when I first got here."
"When you were a freshman?" Cody asked.
Kurt's smile faltered. "Ah. No actually. I transferred a couple months ago,"
Cody nodded and her eyes lit up. "You were new here to?"
Kurt hummed in answer. She smiled and her eyes fell to the floor in thought.
A short silence occupied the next ten seconds before Kurt felt the nagging to ask.
"Cody, why are you here?"
She looked up startled. "What?"
Kurt shook his hands out in front of him dismissing the comment. "That didn't come out right. I meant, why are you here at Dalton, why not the girl's school down the road?"
"Oh," She sniffed. "Yeah, right, about that."
Kurt waited expectantly and walked over to her. Taking a space next to her and crossing his legs.
"It's a long story," She scratched behind her ear awkwardly.
"I have a long time, warblers practice isn't for another half an hour." He said checking his watch.
"Please don't get the wrong impression of me but, well thing is, I've been expelled a couple times…"
"You been expelled twice?" Kurt stared at her indecorously. Shocked when Cody herself looked so innocent.
"um… kind of…"
"What do you mean kind of?" He narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"I guess-" She began counting on her fingers. "-eight times now…"
Kurt widened his eyes and stared gobsmacked at her. "Eight?"
"I was just giving my opinion," She argued in her own defence and tutted in reminisce. "Apparently, speaking your mind is called back chatting now a days."
"What did you do?" Kurt asked indecorously. "Throw a punch at the headmaster?"
Cody Blanched. "…No?"
"Oh my god-"
"He was being sexist; he made a comment about girls not being able to take woodwork or metal works and 'boys stuff' like that."
"So you punched him?"
"I was going to keep it verbal-" She looked at her hands In her lap and then back up to Kurt apologetically. "-but then he told me I was only capable of home economics!"
Kurt opened his mouth to say something but closed it again ushering her to carry on with her story.
"Anyway…" He trailed off waiting for her to pick it up.
"Anyway-" She pulled a strand of mousey blonde out of her mouth. "-because it was the… eighth," She winced in memory "my dad had had enough so he decided that I needed to go to a place where I could be kept a close eye on."
"So he sent you to an all boy's school? Isn't that kind of against the whole 'all boys' thing?"
"Exactly!" She preached opening her arms. "But my dad and the headmaster here served together in on the front line they became friends, my dad saved his life once when he hurt his leg, that's why he's in a wheelchair and all."
"Really?"
"Well put it this way, I now have to refer to him as Uncle Richard." She smirked and chuckled slightly.
Kurt smiled.
"So basically he got in contact, asked him and after a few," She put in air quotations. "Discussions… My dad convinced Uncle Richard to let me attend here. So here I am. At Dalton."
She shrugged and Kurt shook his head in amazement.
"Wow."
"Yup," Cody nodded.
Kurt pierced his lips and went to speak. He was utterly speechless.
"Wow." He managed to repeat himself dumbly.
Cody laughed. She walked around and hauled her case up onto the bed.
"So, what do you stock?" Kurt asked folding his arms to inspect. "Any Alexander McQueen, Gucci?"
"Who?"
"Marc Jacobs?"
Cody raised her eyebrows.
Kurt stared.
"Nothing?" He prayed for something designer.
"Sorry Kurt, it's just Primark I'm afraid." She grinned and started pulling out neatly folded clothes.
Kurt looked shell shocked. "What in the name of gaga is Primark?"
Cody forgot that it wasn't a big name in America as it was in the UK.
"It's a shop, back in England." She explained. "It's pretty cheap and the quality… isn't that bad. It's where I get most of my clothes."
"Oh… Okay," Kurt glared at the clothing in disgust but smiled when his new dorm mate looked up. He paused. "Wait… you're from England?"
"Yeah, I'm a Brit me," She nodded. "Where can I put these?"
"That's Interesting, you came all this way for Dalton?" he gestured to a little cupboard he hadn't taken over.
"Thanks." She propped it open with her knee and stacked a pile of clothes in it. "And not exactly. My whole families been moved out here for my dad's work-" She frowned. "- or in the more likely instance he asked them to transfer in spite me!"
Kurt smiled. Then it faltered as he checked the time. "Shoot!"
"What's wrong?"
"Warblers practice is gonna start soon, I have to go,"
"What's 'warblers'?" Cody asked curiously.
"It's 'the warblers' and basically rock stars." He quoted Blaine and a smile pulled at his lips.
"Rock stars?" She looked unsure.
Kurt groaned.
"Come on I'll show you!" He held out a hand for her to take which she did. He led her out of the room and down to the practice hall.
The group of singers were gathered in the practice hall awaiting their Choir leader – Mr. Morgan.
Luckily he was late and Kurt got the chance to sneak in with Cody
He had just reached Blaine and the rest of the boys in time for Mr. Morgan to pass off their tardiness. He clapped twice to gain their attention. Everyone looked around to acknowledge him.
"Okay boys settle!" He ordered clapping twice and every last whisper went silent.
"last week I set you an assignment," He recalled. "David what was it?"
"You wanted us to pick a suitable song for sectionals, sir."
"good, Now if I pick on somebody at random would you be able to come up here and perform it for me-" He paused catching sight of the unfamiliar girl dressed in the school's uniform "–Excuse me, Mr. Hummel would you like to introduce your new friend to the rest of the group?"
Kurt blanched. Before he could answer Cody offered. "Cody Barnes sir, I've just enrolled,"
He looked shocked. "Right. I'm afraid Miss Barnes this school is in fact an all boy's school." He eyed her up and down. "You're a girl."
"Yes, I am but I don't see why people keep having to remind me, I know that perfectly well by now – don't you think?"
"But why are you here?"
"I transferred from my old school."
"- I'm sorry I don't think we understand each other, why would a girl be accepted into a boy's school - this has to be breaking policies?"
"Mr. Morgan if you have any queries about my transferring I would be happy to take them up with my Uncle."
"-and who is this so called Uncle of yours?" Mr. Morgan asked smugly.
"Uncle Richard," she blinked. "Sorry I mean Mr. Avery," She laughed it off but the entire hall stifled at the mention of their principal.
Mr. Morgan coughed uncomfortably.
Kurt could feel pride well up in his chest. He was already starting to like the new 'boy'. The other warblers just stared in shock. Blaine leaned close to Kurt and whispered in askance.
"Did you know about this?"
"Yeah," He nodded proudly grinning.
"Well Miss Barnes, that's fascinating, really." Mr Morgan nodded. "But this meeting is for warblers only." She bit her lip.
"Mr. Morgan may I-?" He didn't wait for a response before stepping forward and taking the floor.
"But what if Cody was considering joining would she be aloud to stay?"
Cody turned to Kurt and gaped. Sorry what?
"Well that would be up to Miss Barnes and depending on how good or bad she is we'll take a vote."
Cody blinked.
Kurt and every other being occupying the room turned to her. "Cody?" Kurt asked expectantly.
"Um… I guess I could, yeah why not, I'm not planning on doing anything else – except studying of course." She smiled at Mr. Morgan who looked like he was about to scold.
"Well why don't you come up here and perform a piece now?" he offered and she turned to Kurt.
He was nodding exuberantly.
She frowned. "Now?"
"If you have something prepared."
Well obviously not, She thought to herself, I've just got here.
"Fine." She glanced around the room. She spotted what she was looking for.
It was pushed back in the corner of the room.
"May I?" She questioned and gestured to the grand piano.
Morgan smiled and waved a hand in approval.
Blaine caught Kurt's eye and raised an eyebrow.
He just shrugged in response.
Cody took her seat and laid her fingers lightly on the keys. She took a deep breath and began to play. It was a familiar tune but she had taken her own turn of it. This version was slower and sadder.
Mummy they call me names
They didn't let me play
I'd run home, sit and cry almost every day
'Hey Cody, you look like an alien
With green skin you don't fit in this playpen'
yeah they pull my hair
They took away my chair
I sit back and pretend that I didn't care
'Hey Cody, you're so funny
You've got teeth just like Bugs bunny'
It was a softer take and she had changed the lyrics to suit her. The piece itself was mind blowing and David's Jaw fell open. Wes closed it and let go. It fell again.
Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you drag my spirit down
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
I'm still rising.
All the Warblers and even Mr. Morgan stared in complete adoration. She was good. No, great. Fantastic. Her fingers ran up and down the fragile keys with beauty.
So make your jokes
go for broke
Blow your smoke
you're not alone
who's laughing now
who's laughing now
Kurt felt a twinge in his gut.
Maybe Cody was more than she seemed.
He had to wonder. Why she acted out in school. Maybe she was deeper than just a feminist.
So raise the bar
hit me hard
Play your cards
be a star
who's laughing now
who's laughing now
She blinked and Kurt was sure on his mother's grave he saw something that could resemble a tear.
He was so deep in thought and magnificence that he barely noticed when Blaine squeezed his hand.
He flushed bright red. Luckily all the warblers were too distracted to notice.
Cos I'm in D.A
You think I've made my fame
think it makes us friends
When you only know my name
'Oh Cody, we knew you could make it
I've got a track and I'd love you to take it'
and now I'm doing fine
You think my pockets lined
4 years and I'm still waiting in the line
'Oh Cody, I saw you on YouTube
Tagged old photos from when we was at school'
David rubbed his eyes to make sure he was seeing things properly.
Wes sat in utter shock.
Noah nodded in approval.
Harry took a snap shot for the following day's newsletter.
Eli couldn't stop staring at her boobs.
And Kurt was now feeling concerned – and trying to ignore Blaine being so close to him.
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
I'm still rising.
She trailed off. So did her fingers.
It took her a moment but she finally looked up to her audience for approval.
She was met by about twenty pairs of eyes staring back in fascination.
Even Mr. Morgan was speechless.
Finally David quickly got up and ran over to her. She was taken aback and furrowed her brows.
He got down on one knee and taking her hand he proposed. "Cody Barnes, will you marry me?"
The group burst into a fit of lafter and even Cody allowed herself a little grin.
"Okay David - that's enough, leave Miss Barnes alone." Mr. Morgan instructed rolling his eyes and biting back a smile. He sighed. "Welcome to the warblers Miss Barnes."
The whole group whooped and Kurt gave a small clap, grinning like a mad man.
Looks like we have ourselves a little star, Morgan thought to himself as dance and song numbers started to fill his mind.
"You're incredible!" Kurt mouthed and she thanked him sitting back down where she was before.
It was then she noticed the incredibly close proximity between Kurt and the dark haired warbler that had told her she was a girl earlier. She made a mental note to interrogate her new friend later.
"I know, I know boys settle down!" Mr. Morgan called out waving his hands for silence.
The rowdy bunch of boys quietened down and Morgan scanned the room for someone unsuspecting. "Mr. Turner,"
Eli blanched.
Morgan sighed.
Authors note: Okay so tell me what you thought; was it too long, too short? Good, bad, awful fantastic… please drop a review and tell me if you want to carry on 3
I'm thinking of a Cody/Kurt interrogation/shopping scene :) hm?
