Chapter one
Slam. I was up against a locker. Again. I'm used to it though, it happens everyday. The point of origin of my torment is McKinley's own, David Karofsky.
"Hey, fag. Shouldn't you be off somewhere listening to Lady Gaga and doing your make-up?" he said as his posse laughed. Then he dumped a blue raspberry Big Gulp on top of my head. "You better watch yourself, lady boy," he yelled as we walked away with his herd of football jerks. Even though this happened everyday, I was still terrified. But this specific day, I decided to stand up for myself.
I ran full speed at Karofsky. Bad idea. He turned around and punched me in the nose. My small, delicate nose. He dragged me to the boys' locker room as I screamed and kicked.
"What is your problem with me?" I yelled.
"You're a homo!" he yelled back.
"Well, why does it even matter? It's not like I'm hitting on you!" At moment I said this, he kissed me. David Karofsky kissed me. I stood in shock for exactly two seconds then, fury spread through out my whole body. David Neanderthal Karofsky stole my first kiss.
Karofsky was wide-eyed and staring at me, "You tell anyone, I'll kill you."
At that, I ran out. I didn't care where I was running to, I was just running. The first place I spotted was the bathroom. I bolted in there and sat down in a stall. The first thing I noticed was the tears dripping down my face. I gently wiped one away.
After sitting there for about ten minutes, someone came in. They must have heard my sobs because they asked, "Hey, who's in here?"
I realized it was my stepbrother Finn. His mom married my dad a few months ago.
He knocked on the door, "Hello?"
"Yes?" I sniffled.
"Kurt?"
I opened the door and I must have looked pretty bad, because he gasped, "Kurt, what happened? Your lip and jaw are bleeding! And I know for a fact that you did not get into a fight." We both chuckled. His tone got serious, "Who did this?"
"Finn, it's very important that you do not tell anyone what I'm about to tell you, understood?"
He nodded.
"Okay, I was tired of Karofsky's torture, so I got up the courage to stand up to him, but he punched me and took me to the boys' locker room. We yelled back and fourth for a few minutes when he kissed me. He told me that if I told anyone, he would kill me," I said the last part with tears.
Finn's face was full of rage. "I'll be right back, stay here," he growled with clenched fists.
"No, Finn! What are you doing?" my face turned pale as I ran after him. He ran down the hallway until he saw Karofsky.
"What the hell, Karofsky?" Finn said as he held him up by the throat up against a locker.
I tried to pry him off, but it didn't work, "Finn, stop!" I yell.
Finn ignored me, "What do you get out of bullying my brother?" Karofsky's face actually look scared. "And how dare you threaten his life!"
"Finn, let go." I say calmly.
Finn steps back and takes a breath. Karofsky smirked as he walked off.
"Screw you, Karofsky!" Finn shouted. He didn't hear.
"Finn, why did you do that?" I ask.
"Because" he said as he put his hands on my shoulders, "You're my brother and I love you. I understand what it's like for you to be the only out kid at this school."
Finn says that he understands, but in reality, he doesn't and never will. I just wish there was someone who did.
