New Directions had used their rehearsal time cleaning the auditorium so Kurt offered to take all the bags full of blue and gold coloured plastic balls away as he had a free period. After taking the first twenty bags he was regretting offering to do it himself but everyone else had a class to go to. To keep his mind off of things he sang to himself; nothing in particular, just random snippets of different songs. He was doing anything to keep his mind off of things. He had no idea what the twins had planned and how everyone else was involved. He was just hoping it would not end badly; the school would not understand how they think.
Kurt was often worried what happened in their heads as they managed to come with the most extreme plans in an instant as though they have thought about it before. Plus they way they can get past locks and anything as long as they had Han as backup, they could probably get away with everything if it was not obvious to the people who knew them well. However saying that, he thought, they do know how to make things very interesting. Kurt laughed to himself thinking he should have brought his nerf gun with him today but even then he might forget that he is not in Windsor and use it in school. The Tweedles would approve of that idea he thought.
After he threw the last bag in he looked at the mountain of bags that had been created. As he was a little bit annoyed about having to move all them, he took a picture and sent it to the twins with a caption.
Look at the fun I've just had. – Kurt
He got an instant reply. Of course. They were probably enjoying his reactions to their tricks.
MOUNT WINDSOR! – Tweedles
Kurt just shook his head. He renamed the picture to that but he was not going to show that to anyone any time soon. Especially New Directions, there was a high chance that they were highly pissed off about the auditorium. Kurt knew he would have been if he did not know who had done it. He felt bad that he could not tell them but he knew they would not understand like he did. They did not live with them for a year knowing exactly what they were capable of.
He decided he was going to go his locker to get the books he needed for his next class and sit outside in the sun whilst he waited for the bell. When he got to his locker he noticed something on the floor in front of his and leaned forward to see what it was. It was a very fine white substance, very light he thought. Then it clicked. Salt. Dwight was here and since he still believes that Kurt is cursed, he would put some of his special salt at his locker. He opened the locker to see not only his own nerf gun but a small jar with a note on it.
Small supply for you. Top up every so often. Use it wisely. Dwight.
He opened it to see more salt. He was surprised it was not holy water the way things were going. He took the gun out and put it in his bag; he knew he was going to need it. The thought of having it on him made him feel like he was back in Windsor house roaming the hallways, watching his back in case a sudden attack prevailed. To have that feeling now made him crack a huge grin across his face and proceeded to head outside where he planned on waiting with his hand ready to get the gun at any point. He decided he was not going to text the Tweedles thanking them for his gun. He wanted to surprise them by acting all defenceless then suddenly bringing the gun out and retaliating with great pleasure but knowing that there was a chance they were in contact with Han, they would know that he has it. He will still try though he thought. He did feel quite immature but at this moment he did not care as he enjoying himself.
Kurt walked outside with caution but trying not to look like he was. He was confusing himself how he could do both at the same time. Noting that no one seemed to be around, he sat down on one of the big steps and just took time to think. It was pleasant enough to do so without being truly interrupted by people walking past. After a few minutes he laid back and closed his eyes while the sun shined brightly. He was going to take advantage of this as at lunch nearly every girl will be doing the same leaving no space for anyone else to even sit and enjoy the sun. Some of them would lie across the benches where people ate. When the sun was out like this day they did not care about other people, they were more concerned with getting a natural tan. He was quite peaceful until something landed on his face. Jerking up, a piece on paper fell to the ground beside him. He looked around trying to catch anyone but saw no one. Damn they are good he thought. He took the piece of paper and looked at it.
Follow me, follow me fa la la la la...
Kurt simply rolled his eyes to then see another piece of paper on the rails at the top of the stairs. Being curious he climbed the stairs and ripped the note off.
Girl you're moving way too slow...
So take your fast car and keep on driving...
They were giving him lyrics as clues to whatever he was to do next. He was worried he would not have enough time to complete this challenge as he only had twenty five minutes left and he knew the twins would have made this one extra long so he was running about like an idiot. Well this clue was easy he thought so he headed to the car park. He smiled knowing he correct in guessing the next clue would be attached to his car.
You got a fast car but is it fast enough so you can fly away?...
I must not chase...I wanna go left but they tell me go right...
Chase? What has chasing got to do with anything? He walks back inside the school and looks back to the note. I wanna go left but they tell me go right... were standing out at the moment as he was tempted to head to his class early which was down the corridor to his left but taking advice from the note he went right. Walking alone in the corridor he still had no idea what chasing had to do with this until he heard the noise of people running about. He was near the gym hall and realised that he was close to the next clue. Trying to be as quiet as possible he went around all the areas that were to do with sports to try find this note. He got to the football storage area when he saw it. Funnily enough it was placed on top of the kicker's equipment which made him laugh as they knew the story of when he danced on the field.
The moral of the story is I got no choice...
The book of love is long and boring; no one can lift the damn thing...
Before he knew it, Kurt was rushing towards the library. He only had ten minutes left before the bell would go but he wanted to get this done and out of the way. He went in hoping the note would be on a table or something but he found no such luck. The librarian was looking at him funny as he looked around for the next note. He kept looking at the clock, counting down the minutes until his game was put on hold. It then hit him like a ton of bricks and went looking for the heaviest book he could find. He knew exactly where it would be as the more complicated books were at the back where hardly anybody goes to except for the nerds but thankfully none where there. When he found it he could not believe what the book was; a book of love poems. Random he thought, why would you want a book that thick full of poems? But he did not waste time to think about it more, he lifted the cover up to see nothing. He thought he had got it correct so he went to the back of the book hoping it was there. The lyrics were showing more irony as Kurt was struggling to move all the pages to the front. With one big push he managed it and the note fell out.
In fact that's where music comes from...
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing...
Glee club he thought as he left but he was disheartened when the bell went. He cursed silently to himself and made his way to his next class. Being cocky he popped into their small classroom they had as the class was not used by anyone else except Mr Shu with New Directions. Luckily for Kurt the note was left on the piano next to some sheet music. However this note was different from the rest.
Thanks for all the joy.
That was it. Just a simple note, containing the lyrics that were ending his game. He did not know how to feel. He wanted it to carry on but he was happy he did not need to think about the next clue in his next class. Next class. Shit he was late. Kurt ran to his next class getting some weird looks from everyone he ran past. He had made it just in time but the teacher gave him a strange look as to why he was flushed from running. He took his seat to see an envelope taped to the underside of his desk with his name on it. He opened it up to that it was written in the same handwriting that was on all the notes.
Just listen to teacher. I know it sounds sordid but you'll be rewarded...Be prepared!
Have fun Kurt. Wes
The Lion King? Seriously Wes? Also how was him learning about historical leaders going to help him? He shook his head and began taking notes the teacher was going on about. What was worrying him was what was he meant to be prepared for. At this moment he could have honestly said that he had no idea what to expect. The note did not put him to ease. Could he not go back to running around the school finding notes?
TBC
AN: I want to thank you for reading this and I hope you're enjoying it (and not boring you.) Don't ask why the Lion King appeared, I knew I wanted to write that Kurt had to be prepared for something and the song popped up instantly and it fit in with the lyrical notes.
Songs (In Order): Follow Me Down – 3OH!3, Fast Car – Tracy Chapman, I Must Not Chase The Boys – Play, The Book Of Love – Peter Gabriel, Thank You For The Music – ABBA, Be Prepared – The Lion King.
