Chapter 1: Meet Kurt
(KPOV)
I hate going to a new school. I hate having to start over. I hate being alone.
It's been a couple days since I transferred and I guess that's how long it takes to be labeled in this school. The jocks have determined that I am obviously gay and must be punished for that. So far today I've been called "Fag" twice and shoved into the lockers once and its only the 3rd period. Today is going to be a long day.
Each passing period I move from one class to the next as fast as I can, in hopes that no one will notice me and I can just go to class safely.
At lunch I've decided that it would be best to just get away from everyone, and have some time to myself. I noticed that most people eat lunch in the cafeteria, leaving the courtyard nearly empty, the perfect place for someone like me to escape. I sit down and just think about how much easier it had been at my previous school.
At Dalton Academy, there was a zero-tolerance policy for harassment. I was free to be out and proud as I wanted to be. I had a bunch of friends and even started to develop a couple crushes on some of my classmates. Unfortunately, my Dad could not afford the tuition for the private academy and had to pull me out. Now I'm trapped at this public school where the daily activity is mocking and torture.
After school, I head straight home. Although I have my license I prefer to walk, much greener and plus it gives me time to just stop thinking. As I walk through the door my father is there waiting to interrogate me over how my day was. I can tell that he is worried about me and how I am adjusting to my new school.
"Hey son, How was school? Make any new friends?" he asks, smiling encouragingly.
"School was ok, same old same old. I don't know about friends, I'm just trying to get situated."
"You'll make friends soon enough. You're a great kid. They'll be stupid to not want to hang out with you."
"Sure, Dad" I say sarcastically.
"I'm serious kid, you're great" he says while patting me on the back.
"Thanks Dad." I know that he is trying to make me feel better but at this moment all I want to do is go back to my room and try to erase today from my memory.
