There may be some movie spoilers within a section of this chapter. I will let you know which section it is. Enjoy. :)
You Found Me
Chapter 2
The final bell rang and everyone rushed out the door to get a start on their after school activities, whether it be work, video games, sports, or, Terrence and Kurt's case, a date. Terrence was walking to his motorcycle when a rush of cold red slushie hit him in the face.
"Hey loser," said the joyful hockey player who threw the slushie. "Welcome to McKinley." Terrence wiped the slushie off his face and cuckled.
"Thanks," he said. "I love cherry." He got on his bike and left school grounds with a sticky red smile. 'That son of a bitch is wasting his money,' he thought. 'He'll never break me down. No one can.' He pulled into his driveway and threw his backpack on the couch in his living room.
"Hey son," his dad called from the kitchen. "How was school?"
"It was alright," Terrence said, sitting on the counter. "It had its highs and its lows, but mostly its highs. The highs were awesome."
"Two questions. What happened today that was so cool, and why are you all red?"
"I'm all red because someone threw a slushie in my face in the parking lot. No big deal. But what happened that was so cool was I met this guy, he's gay, I asked him to a movie tonight, and he said yes."
"That's great, Terrence."
"I know right. I'm so excited. But I'm also really nervous. I've never been on a date before."
"No need to be nervous. You'll be fine."
"Thanks dad." Terrence noticed his dad was juggling multiple pots, pans, and dishes. "Need any help with that stuff?"
"Naw. I got this. You go shower up for your date. You look like you've got a little bit of slushie on your face." They laugh a bit and Terrence heads upstairs to shower.
At that moment, Kurt was in his room, trying to decide what to wear on the date. Finn was playing video games, but stopped to question why his new brother was pacing like a madman.
"What's up Kurt?' he asked. He glanced in Kurt's direction and took a double-take. "Dude, why is your entire closet on your bed?"
"I've got a date tonight," Kurt said nervously. "It's my first date and I have no Idea what to wear."
"A date, huh?" said Finn. "Who with?"
"The new guy, Terrence. He asked me to the movies while we were working on the project." Kurt quickened his pace and continued contemplating his clothing options.
"Kurt." Finn put his hand on Kurt's shoulder, halting his pacing. "Chill out. You don't need to worry. You've got this. You just need to loosen up a bit." Finn shook Kurt by the shoulders. Side to side, to and fro, and in circles. "You pumped, man?"
"I'm pumped," Kurt said, though he didn't feel it.
"I can't hear you!" Finn said, raising his voice. "Are you pumped?"
"Yeah." Kurt started to actually feel pumped. "Heck yeah!" The two brothers started laughing. "How far away is the theater from here?"
"About a half hour drive." Kurt checked his watch. 6:20. "Oh jeez. I'd better get going. How do I look?"
"You look awesome. Have fun tonight."
"Thanks. Wish me luck." He took one last look in the mirror and headed out the door.
Terrence got out of the shower and heard a knock at the door. He slipped on jeans and a t-shirt and ran to answer the door. His dad beat him to it, and when the door opened, Terrence was not only shocked, but also terrified at who waited behind that door.
"Mom?" he said, his voice cracking.
"Oh, my baby," she said, wrapping her arms around her child. "Why did you do this to yourself, Terra?" This made Terrence snap. He pushed his mother away and headed for the door.
"You know why I had the surgery, mom. And the name's Terrence." He slammed the door and started toward the theater. 'Forget this,' he thought angrily. 'If she can't accept the fact that this is who I am and who I'm meant to be, then forget her.' He found a parking space and found Kurt waiting by the front door.
"Hey Terrence," he said.
"Hey Kurt. So What movie were you thinking about seeing?"
"I don't know if you're into horror films, but I ws thinking we could see Haunt. I haven't seen it yet, but a few of my cousins have. They say it's incredible."
"I love horror movies." They pay for their tickets and head to the consession counter. "Snacks are on me," Terrence said.
"Nonsense. We'll split the cost." They get their snacks, one large popcorn and two medium sodas, and head into the theater. About an hour and a half later, the two were more creeped out than they have ever been before.
"That was the creepiest movie I have ever seen," Terrence said.
"Have you seen any of the big movie franchises like Halloween or Friday the 13th?" Kurt asked.
"Nope," Terrence said. "They're on my list, though."
Warning: SPOILER ALERT! The following section contains multiple spoilers of the movie Haunt. If you have any plan or desire to see this movie and you do not wish to read about some of the most crucial scenes, you can skip reading this section. It's only a few sentences, though. Just until the bolded text. This is a long ass warning. How 'bout we get back to the story.
"Same here," Kurt agreed. "Haunt was kind of confusing in the beginning with the whole backstory then jumping straight into it, but it was spectacular."
"I couldn't agree more," Terrence said enthusiastically. "The whole dental chair flashback was epic. And that ending."
"Such a good ending. with the body under the floor in the attic."
"So awesome."
This concludes the spoilers section. :)
Kurt and Terrence walk over to where they parked. Coincidentally, they parked right next to each other.
"Oh no," Kurt said stunned. His car was slushied and spray-painted, and the tires have been slashed.
"Alright," a pissed off Terrence said, "when I find out who did this, they're gonna get a serious ass kicking. Has this happened before?"
"I've been Slushied, but my car's never been vandalized. Dang it." Kurt called a tow truck company to tow his car home. He was left on hold for five minutes and decided to hang up.
"You want me to drive you home?"
"Sure."
"I don't think I brought an extra helmet, but you can use this one." He realized that there was a bit of melted slushie left in the helmet and searched his motorcycle bag for a rag to clean it out. He gave it to Kurt. "I may or may not have gotten all of it out. Sorry, man."
"Gotten all of what out?"
"Cherry slushie." Terrence got on the bike and started the engine.
"You got Slushied!?" Kurt gaped at the news that his date, after only his first day at McKinley, was already seen as a loser by the popular crowd.
"Don't worry about it. They're practically throwing their money at me. I feel honored. Come on, let's go." Kurt got on behind Terrence and navigated the way to his house.
"Make a left here," Kurt instructed. Terrence saw the street sign and smiled. "My house is right here."
"I live right down the street."
"No way. Really?"
"Yeah. Just a few houses over actually." They stood there for a moment in awkward silence.
"So maybe I could give you my number and we could text each other," Kurt suggested.
"Okay. I think I might have a pen on me." He reached in his back pocket and pulled out a blue pen. They wrote their numbers on each other's hands and said their goodnights.
'Yup. It was a good day,' Terrence thought. He drove by his house and saw his mom's car still in the driveway. 'I don't think I really need to be home until later.' He put in his earbuds and chose a random song on his phone.
{Holiday - Green day}
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an armageddon flame.
The shame. The ones who died without a name.
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery"
And bleed. The company lost the war today.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies.
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives on Holiday.
Hear the drum pounding out of time.
Another protester has crossed the line
To find the money's on the other side.
Can I get another Amen?
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men.
A gag. A plastic bag on a monument.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies.
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives on Holiday.
The representative of California has the floor.
Zeig Heil to the President Gasman. Bombs away is your punishment.
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers who criticize your government.
Bang bang goes the broken glass and kill all the fags who don't agree.
Trials by fire setting fire is not a way that's meant for me.
Just cuz, just cuz because we're outlaws yeah.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies.
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies.
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives. This is our lives on Holiday.
