Kurt was nervous about going to this new high school. Sure the kids from his middle school would be there, but he didn't know any of them. In fact in middle school Kurt was always invisible, he'd been invisible his entire life. Sure he had never meant to be, but he was just shy and obviously really into fashion, much more then any normal teen age boy would be. In fact he didn't even have any female friends despite that, mostly because when he wasn't invisible for two seconds, he'd get picked on.

No one wanted to be around the "loser." That's just how natural selection went, the weak were usually ignored and left behind. And it appeared that Kurt was the weak one. What Kurt didn't realize was that he wasn't the weak one, everyone else was. They didn't see how special he was. No matter any times he got picked on, Kurt never stopped wearing what he loved to wear, or working on the projects he loved to work on. Kurt was always himself, it was everyone else who picked on him or ignored him because they were too stuck up who were weak. They were unable to see the beauty of him, to understand him, or get close to him.

Kurt was afraid that High School would turn out just like middle school had. He went anyway though, walking into the halls of Mckinley High School. He went to his locker, carefully avoiding the jocks, trying so hard not to get pushed around and have his face smashed in or anything. Little did he know, he'd just been noticed by a Junior.

Blaine had seen Kurt walk in, and honestly couldn't look away. The Junior was staring and Sebastian waved a hand in front of his best friend's face.

"Hey, you in there? Earth to Blaine." said Sebastian.

Blaine glared at Sebastian but looked away from Kurt anyway.

"What?" asked Blaine.

"You're staring. What could possibly be so interesting?" asked Sebastian.

Blaine looked up, Kurt was gone. He sighed. "It's nothing, come on we should probably get to class." said Blaine.

Sebastian shrugged and they went to their class. Kurt of course hadn't noticed Blaine staring at him, how could he when he'd been brutally shoved into his locker by a neanderthal named Dave. Kurt had known Dave in middle school, he was a hockey jock and definitely had made Kurt's life miserable up until now. Kurt had gotten up and ran to class right after it happened, not really wanting to be anywhere in those halls, at least in class he would be safe, right?

Wishful thinking to be honest, during the entire day whenever Kurt wasn't in class he was either shoved, ignored when he tried to ask question about where things were, or laughed at by popular girls. He eventually wound up with his lunch in the bathroom in a stall, just like in middle school. He looked down at the sandwich he'd made himself for lunch, but he honestly couldn't bring himself to eat it. He didn't want to cry, he couldn't cry, he couldn't dare be so pathetic as to cry over something he'd dealt with since turning the age of twelve. Yet the fourteen year old Kurt really couldn't help it. Tears fell from his eyes, falling onto his sweater. He shook his head, he knew it, he'd be alone all of his high school life as well. Sighing he forced down the sandwich right before the bell rang, cleaned himself up, and went to class.

This class changed everything, as he accidently bumped into someone while entering the class room.

"Hey watch it." said the black girl he was staring at.

"I-I'm sorry." said Kurt's quiet tone.

"Ah don't worry about it. I'm Mercedes, you?" she asked.

"K-Kurt, Kurt Hummel." he said tentatively.

"Well Kurt, wanna sit with me?" she asked.

He smiled a little. "Sure." he said.

Kurt sat next to Mercedes, the two of them got to talking, finding out they did have a lot in common. Though Kurt was still painfully shy, even around her.

"I'm so glad I bumped into you." said Mercedes after class.

Kurt smiled a little. "I'm glad too." he said.

"Wanna exchange numbers? Maybe hang out this weekend?" asked Mercedes.

But as she asked that, some popular girls walked by and made fun of Kurt, the sweater he wore, basically everything about him. Saying he looked like a butler frog or something along those lines.

"You sure you want to?" he asked after the words.

"Kurt, of course I'm sure. I don't care what they think. They're wispy women, strong women like me we're not a dime a dozen like them." she said.

Kurt smiled and gave her his number, she gave him hers. "You know what? You should come to glee." she said.

"What?" he asked.

"You do know I'm a sophomore, right? I'm in an elective class with you and all that. Anyway, there's this teacher, we call him Mr. Shue, and he runs a club called glee. It's a show choir club. I'm in it with a couple of others, Blaine and Sebastian. We just got it started at the end of last year with Mr. Shue so there aren't too many members yet, but I'm sure you'd make a great addition." she said.

Kurt took a moment to think. "But what if I make the club get bullied too?" he asked almost whispering the question, hugging his book to his chest.

"Well I don't care what people like that think, and Sebastian and Blaine are like the coolest Juniors around. No one can drag them down." said Mercedes.

"If you're sure..." said Kurt.

"I am, meeting is happening after school, meet me in the choir room, ok?" said Mercedes.

Kurt nodded, and then walked to his next class. It turned out the bright spot of his day was that, the rest of his classes he didn't have Mercedes in, and he was basically alone until after school. He did at least make one friend though, so he was glad about that. He walked into the choir room, there stood Mercedes, Blaine, Sebastian, Mr. Shue, and what appeared to be three other additions to the club Rachel, Tina, and Artie a kid in a wheel chair.

"Ok but I'm getting this solo." said Rachel.

Kurt could tell already she was going to be a handful, the way she commanded attention and made everything about her. Tina was in the back ground, dressed in some goth-like clothes, and Artie was in the back ground in his wheel chair, trying to avoid the fight between Rachel, Mr. Shue, and Mercedes.

"Oh hey!" suddenly exclaimed Mercedes as she walked over to Kurt.

Kurt blushed a little in embarrassment at all the new attention. "Everyone this is Kurt! I told him to come and join today." she said.

"Alright Kurt, do you have a song for entering glee?" asked Mr. Shue.

Kurt tried to think, gulping, his shyness was getting the best of him, he had terrible stage fright, but he knew this was his one chance to make more friends. He looked up and saw Blaine and Sebastian looking at him. He moved nervously to the front, his hands folded in front of him as he began to sing.

The song was "Mr. Cellophane", a song about being invisible, ignored, and basically being seen through, the world not noticing you at all. Once he was finished, everyone was staring at him with wide eyes.

"A counter tenor?" asked Sebastian a little shocked.

"That was amazing!" exclaimed Blaine.

Suddenly they were all surrounding Kurt, introducing themselves, he learned everyone's name pretty quickly. He smiled a little, not used to all the attention. Finally after glee club's beginning it seemed that they had seven members, a marry band of misfits of course. He walked out of the choir room, only to be shoved, but this time, it didn't matter, because he had numbers and names in his phone besides his dad. And he felt like he wasn't so alone. He looked up and saw Blaine extending a hand down to him.

"Hey, you alright?" he asked.

Kurt nodded. "I'm used to it." he said.

"Why?" asked Blaine.

"Why what?" asked Kurt.

"Why are they picking on you?" asked Blaine.

"It's happened since I was twelve. When I started to be more...well you look at me, you get it, right?" said Kurt.

"No, I don't." said Blaine.

Kurt sighed, it wasn't like he'd told anyone, so he shut his mouth. "I'm just not like them." he said.

"Nah, you're better then them." said Blaine, a grin on his face.

And in that moment, Kurt felt his cheeks flush, blushing, he realized he was developing his first crush, and he felt so very scared of that fact.

"I should go, don't want you to catch being unpopular from me." he said quickly before he ran off, it was an interesting first day of school that was for sure.
