His hair was the darkest, rubiest and sexiest shade of red he had ever seen. It could not have been natural. He walked down the hallway with a sense of coolness and confidence, even though it was his first day at school. His skinny leg jeans were just the right size to compliment his legs, and his gorgeous green eyes sparkled underneath his fringe. Surveying the room with a cocky smile, he walked to his locker while Kurt stayed by his. A young orange haired girl ran up to the boy and gave him a hug. He laughed and talked to her with interest. He laughed. He had such a sexy laugh. Kurt sighed and banged his head slightly against his locker. Life was so unfair. Another hot straight guy. Kurt continued watching the boy until she gave a small piece of paper. Kurt knew it. She was giving him her number. Kurt couldn't take it and shoved his head into his locker.

First days are never easy, and it doesn't help if you're me. Well, at least I have Lily. I would be lost without her. She and I have been two peas in a pod for as long as I can remember. But so opposite, it's hard to picture us together. Taking out my books to first period, Lily ran up to me and hugged me.

"Lily!" I laughed. "Not in public!" She gave me such a Lily grin I couldn't help it.

"Oliver, can you believe it?" She waved something in my face. A small piece of paper.

"Well, I assume you acquired a piece of paper but that is nothing of interest to me." I replied seriously.

Lily smiled again. "No, what's on the paper numbskull!" I put an "Oh!" expression on my face and looked at it. It was a phone number.

I blushed, "Why Lily I don't know what to say!" I pretended to cry with joy. I opened my arms. "I consider us engaged!"

"Oh stop it", Lily smiled and took it back. "It is from a guy! And on my first day!" She squealed and ran off. I sighed and returned to me locker. As I was putting headphones on when someone grabbed the back of my jacket and threw me around. It was a jock, a big beefy one, but that does not mean he has brains.

"Greetings." I smiled pleasantly. I am all about first impressions. "It is nice to meet you. I'm Oliver."

The jock frowned. "I don't care, newbie." He slammed me against the locker. I slightly gritted my teeth. "All I need to know is that I know that you know I'm in charge around here, all right?"

I put a hand to my head in a sort of salute and said. "Fine by me sir." The jock looked confused, like he didn't know if I was insulting him or not.

Trying to cover it, he was slammed me against the lockers again. "Freak." He said and waddled off. As I waited for him to leave the hallway I brushed my jacket and chuckled. Straightening myself, I went back to my locker and acted like nothing had happened. While I was doing it though, a young boy, in my year I think, slid up next to me. I saw in his eyes a mixture of amazement and confusion.

"Hello." I addressed him. "Oliver." I held my hand to shake his.

He slowly held out his. "Yeah, I heard you talking to ham hawk from my locker."

"Ham hawk?" I laughed. I looked in the direction in which the jock had left. "That name is quite fitting..."

As I turned my head and faced the boy, he was in disbelief. "Have you no sense?" He asked.

I frowned. "Whatever do you mean?"

"You are joking. You just talked back to Ham hawk without a punch. Without even flinching. You weren't scared." The boy almost stared at him admiringly.

"And I had no reason to. You see", I closed my locker and addressed him fully. "Jocks are a weird species, like you and me, but also unlike." The boy looked confused. "Jocks like him act fast across here," I indicated my chest and arms, "But not here." I tapped my skull. "Even the simplest reaction out of the ordinary sends them confused, as you saw just then." I looked into his eyes. "I take it you're bullied by him?" I asked delicately.

The boy looked away. "Sometimes." I didn't say anything for a while, but as the boy looked down, he noticed my shoes. His eyes brightened. "I love your shoes."

I peeked at them. "Yeah, they're nice aren't they? Had them for ages though. Thought I'd wear them today, as a good luck charm. Looks like they worked." I smiled at him. I swear I saw him blush.

The bell echoed in the hallway. "Well", I said closing my locker and shoving my bag over my shoulder. "That just shows me you are a much better person."

The boy looked at me and mumbled. "Thanks."

"I better be off." I slowly walked. Shaking his hand again I replied, "It was very nice to meet you." I walked away.

"Hey! Oliver!" A voice behind me yelled. I smiled and turned around. I picked up my head as an indication of I heard. "My name is Kurt." 'Kurt', I replayed in my head. What an odd name.

I bowed my head. "It was a pleasure Kurt." He smiled as I disappeared into the crowd.
