Chapter 1
Kurt knows that he was early for his new school year at Dalton Academy. After transferring to the private school last school year he had a hard time at first. It wasn't quite easy when you change high school, but it wasn't even less easy when you transfer during the year. The only boy he knew before transferring was Blaine Anderson, the first gay person he ever met since he himself came out. He had to admit, that he had a big crush on the younger boy, but this wasn't mutual. Blaine Anderson had a crush on this sales guy in the GAP store. It had hurt Kurt, when he found out and he had found himself with some hope when Blaine got turned down by the other boy. But the friendship between Kurt and Blaine was never going to be more than friendship, that was one lesson he learned in the last half of his school year.
After losing Regionals he was as disappointed as everyone of the Warblers. He even thought about transferring back to McKinley, 'cause he hadn't made any other friends than Blaine so far in Dalton. His mind changed on the evening after Regionals. He was really thinking over Santana's offer when the Warblers got onto the bus to go back to Dalton. Blaine must have felt that he was sad and lonely, 'cause he had sat beside him and asked him what was wrong and Kurt didn't want to admit it, but it felt really good talking with someone about Santana's anti-bullying plan and his feelings about Dalton. He was already halfway through his evening routine with his creams when someone knocked on his dorm door. Blaine invited him for a sleep over at his room that he shared with Nick and Jeff, both the same age as Blaine.
The three boys had managed to get some ice-cream, sweets and non-alcoholic drinks and whatever you need for a good movie night. Also Thad and Trent were invited too, so the 6 boys squeezed themselves into the small room. They had pushed the beds of Jeff and Nick together and were all watching different comedy movies on Blaines Laptop. It was gladly a Saturday, so there was no curfew when they had to be in their own rooms. The only curfew on Friday and Saturday evenings was that everyone must be back at Dalton before 10pm. This was easily checked since the boys had chip cards for their dorm rooms and whenever they leave Dalton grounds they had to put their card at the reception of the dormitory housemaster.
This Saturday night was the big change in Kurt Hummel's life at Dalton. At this night he found friends and learned so much about the other boys that he never wanted to miss them, even aware that he was one year ahead of them. On this evening his decision to stay at Dalton Academy was carved in stone. Later he'd ask himself how on earth he could've ever thought about leaving Dalton.
Well and now he's back for his last year at Dalton Academy and he already knows that he's going to miss it after this year. He was already looking forward to meeting the other five boys again. Nick, Jeff and Thad were living outside of Ohio and Trent had spent the whole summer in a language camp in Nice at the Mediterranean sea to work on his French knowledge. He had also seen Blaine only in the first two weeks of the summer holidays, 'cause Blaine was spending most of the summer in California where his brother lived.
Kurt was thankful that Finn had decided to drive with Burt and his step-brother to Dalton, to help them unload the stuff that Kurt had packed for his school year. Last year Kurt had gotten a double dormitory room alone, 'cause there wasn't a bed free in any other room with colleagues the same age. Before the summer came, he had got the confirmation of the dormitory housemaster that he'll have the same arrangement this year too. Kurt would never admit it, but he was glad that he had a room to himself, 'cause he had listened to the complains of Blaine and also to the complains of Thad about their roomates all to often. Thad shared his room with Trent. Even though it was still four days till the new school year would start, there was hustle and bustle all over the grounds of Dalton already. Kurt saw Thad with a big suitcase and a backpack and Thad's father with a box on their way to the entrance of the dormitory.
"I don't get it why you guys all want to be here so early? I mean it would've been enough if you'd came here on Sunday." Finn said while getting one of Kurts boxes out of the car. "We love our school Finn and I haven't seen most of my friends the whole summer long, so I'm really eager to see them and have a chat with all of them." Kurt tried to explain. While Finn was with Puck and the others of New Directions all summer long, Kurt hadn't had his friends around him. Sure he joined Finn and the New Directions sometimes in this summer, but he couldn't help the feeling that he didn't belong to them anymore. Finn shrugged and gave a light box to Kurt. Burt was already caring Kurts suitcase and Kurt took his messenger bag out of the car to slung it over his shoulders.
About half an hour later all of Kurts boxes and belongings where in his room and it was time to say goodbye to Finn and Burt. Kurt hated this goodbyes. In the first days after the long summer holidays this goodbye makes him somehow homesick, 'cause he won't see both of them until Christmas break. Well, that's not really true 'cause he will probably see Finn at Sectionals, but he wasn't sure. After lots of hugs and "call me if anything happens or is wrong or whatever" from Finn, they finally left Kurt's room and he found himself in complete silence.
Before the silence and the loneliness could've taken him over and he'd get more homesick, he decided to unpack his things. He had just started with the box for his nightstand, when there was a knock on the door. The dormitory housemaster was standing infront of him when Kurt opened the door. It was only a short visit, but the housemaster informed him, that he would have to share his room this year as the school is full this year. After that the housemaster left, Kurt let himself fall backwards on his bed with a loud sigh. Well that was it with his own room this year. He stopped the unpacking and left the room immediately to talk to the others, he needed this right now.
His dorm room was from the grand staircase down the right corridor – or better say it was in the east-wing. The dorm rooms of his friends were the same floor level, but in the west wing. The corridor was busy with students arriving and all the well known welcome-backs to other students and goodbyes to the parents were filling the house. Kurt went straight to the dorm room of Blaine, Jeff and Nick. He knew that the other three also arrived today, same was for Thad and Trent. He hadn't even finished knocking on the door as it was already opened in a flourish. Blaine standing on the other side and grinning like mad. "Hey Kurt" he called, before Kurt was already in an embrace. Nick and Jeff were unpacking their things and greeted him from their beds. Obviously Blaine had put his toiletry into the small bathroom and that was the cause for him opening the door so immediately.
Kurt spotted Thad and Trent sitting on Blaine's bed and waving at him. It seemed they were already finished with their unpacking unlike him. But he refused to think at all the unpacked boxes in his room. Right now he just wanted to see his friends and complain to them that he would get a roommate. He closed the door behind him and found himself hugged from the other 4 shortly afterwards. "How was your summer?" Trent asked immediately, but Kurt just waved his hand in a manner like "not now" before he let himself sink on Nick's desk chair. "I'll get a roommate" he sighed. "What?" was the reaction of Blaine, Nick and Jeff. While Thad and Trent only sighed. "We too" said Trent and Kurt stared shocked and surprised to him. "What? Haven't you had a double room last year?" he asked confused. "Yes, but obviously they have so many students this year that the changed ours and the double rooms are now mainly for the seniors like you." Kurt couldn't help but be relieved that he's a senior this year, otherwise it seemed that he would've had to share his room with two roommates and he didn't know if he really would've been ready for this.
Blaine, Nick and Jeff stared like Kurt at Thad and Trent, before Blaine spoke up "Oh, so that's the reason why you're now exactly on the opposite of our room" at the end his surprise and shock had changed into a grin while he might be thinking of all the advantages that this constellation brought. Kurt sighed. Now he was again completely alone on the east-wing, Thad and Trents room used to be at the beginning of the west-wing corridor, but now he had to go to the nearly end of the west-wing. "Don't be sad Kurt, I'm sure you'll get a nice roommate." Jeff patted him on the back and Kurt forced a smile into his face. "I mean you can always ask and maybe they let you change in our room." Thad suggested, but Kurt shook his head. "No, I think Jeff is right. Obviously there must be older newbies too, 'cause I don't think they'll put a freshman together with a senior." The whole room chuckled, 'cause everyone knew that the freshmen weren't allowed out of their room as long as the sophomores or juniors. Also the curfew times for the seniors were much later than for the rest, so this would've been really awkward.
They talked a bit about their summer, before Kurt decided it's about time to unpack his stuff too. The others promised to catch him before they'd go to dinner. Back in his room he wondered when his roommate would arrive. He began to unpack his things and sighed, if he would've known it earlier he wouldn't have packed so much. Some of the stuff had to stay in the boxes and he put the boxes into his chest. He was just ready with his unpacking, when he heard the others knocking on the door and laughing hard about something. By the time for dinner the dormitory was now only filled with students, all the parents of the today-arrivers already gone. He could see some familiar faces from his last years classes when they all were on their way to dinner.
Dinner was already a routine, mainly 'cause there weren't any freshman today. They talked about their summer holidays and Trent gave an impression of how much his French improved on the language camp and it was only Kurt who was quite able to talk with him now. Leaving the other four a bit uncomfortable, 'cause they definitely have to work on their French now. After dinner they met up with other Warblers in the library. They talked about the summer and also the seniors like Kurt talked about plans after Dalton. Kurt knew that there was a partner college where he could go easily as a Dalton graduate, but he somehow wanted to try to go to New York and become a musical star. Since David and Wes had graduated last year, the Warblers were also in need to elect a new Council. This was also a talk theme this evening who of the upperclassmen would even try to candidate for a place. Kurt didn't have any intentions of being part of the council, there were enough other juniors and seniors that could easily take that place and since Thad was already a member in his sophomore year it was for sure, that he would stay a council member this year too. So the council would only need two new members.
The sophomores cleared out around 10pm, with the juniors following at 11pm and Kurt joined his friends, though he as a senior could've stayed till midnight. But he still had his face routine and maybe this was his last night to really sleep alone in his room. Also who knows if he'd be able to sleep as well as now when his roommate had arrived, maybe his roommate snored or talked in sleep. You never knew such things ahead, so he better enjoy a long nights sleep today.
The next morning was there pretty fast. It wasn't Kurt's alarm that woke him up, but the knock on the door. Kurt asked himself if his roommate would arrive that early in the morning, it was just past 8am and since they don't have classes today he tried to sleep in. But instead of his roommate there was Blaine standing outside of his room, now with wide eyes 'cause Kurt was still in his pajama and looked a bit disheveled. "Oh my god, you were still asleep. I'm sorry!" Blaine blurted out after he had recovered from the shock of waking Kurt up. Normally Kurt was always up at around 6am to be ready for breakfast at 7:30 in the morning, even on the weekends he tended to not sleep any much longer. "It's okay. Do you want to come in?" Kurt asked still a bit sleepy. "Yeah, actually Nick and Jeff..." he let the sentence hang without an ending, knowing by Kurt's smile that Kurt exactly knew what was happening in the other dorm room. As long as no room-neighbors filed for complaints at the dormitory housemaster there wasn't a problem with having sex in your dormitory room. It was common and accepted amongst the students. The only complaints were when one senior pair last year kept the whole 1st floor of the east-wing awake one night with their screaming. Kurt was at this time glad that his room was on the 2nd floor.
Blaine sat down on Kurt's desk chair, while Kurt excused himself to the bathroom to get ready to join Blaine for Breakfast. Blaine was flicking through one of the fashion magazines that were lying on Kurt's desk. When Kurt came out of the bathroom, he was wearing a skinny jeans and a white long sleeve shirt with a grey vest over it. Since school hasn't started yet (and on the weekends) they were allowed to wear what they want. After breakfast both decided to take a quick look if their schedules were already up, before they met Jeff and Nick on their way to the park. Thad and Trent joined later and Kurt asked himself what was going on between the later two.
"Our roommate had already arrived. Sharp 8:30am he was knocking on the door." Thad said. "He's from a military academy. Seems like he got himself a scholarship for bringing his choir over there to a Regionals victory. I'm sure he'll join the Warblers soon." Trent offered more information. Kurt and they others sighed. "Well, he can audition for it – there is no 100% chance we will really accept him." Blaine announced. "That's what I've told him, but seems like he's sure that he'll get in and also that he'll be Captain of them. Something that it seems the principal had assured him." "What? The principal can't just throw our whole system over, I'm going to protest against that." Blaine was already getting angry, even though he didn't know the other guy. "Calm down Blaine, I'm sure that most of the Warblers won't accept such a major change. By the way, what's the name of that guy?" "Hunter Clarington and he's – I quote – not even remotely bi-curios" Nick and Jeff broke into loud laughter, Kurt couldn't held a chuckle. Blaine just blinked at that statement. "Is he thinking Dalton is a gay school?" he asked with a side glance to Kurt who had thought exactly that when he was here for the first time. Thad and Trent only shrugged with their shoulders, while Nick and Jeff couldn't stop laughing. "I'm pretty sure, he will withdraw that statement later in this year." Jeff stated still laughing. "Oh and he's senior" Kurt sighed, that means he would share all the classes with that new guy. Well if this wasn't the promise for an interesting year at Dalton.
