Chapter 2

Wes entered his dorm room that he shared with david, closing the door silently behind him. David looked over towards his friend as he dropped himself onto his bed with a loud sigh. He paused the game he was playing (Black ops) and looked at Wes.

"What's up wes?" david asked.

"Nothing" Wes sighed. David stared at wes as he sighed again. David got up from his place on the floor and sat next to Wes on his bed.

"Look i know somethings up, now spill?" david said nudging Wes. Wes sat up and looked at david.

"I can't, it's not my place to say" Wes said letting his eyes fall to the floor.

David put his arm around his friends shoulders pulling him closer, he hated seeing Wes like this, he can be so sensitive sometimes.

"What's so bad that you can't tell your best bud?" David said smiling at Wes as he met his eyes. Wes smiled back and turned to face him.

"If you found out something about a friend...," Wes started unsure of how to put this into words without actually saying what was wrong. "..but he didn't know you heard, but it was breaking this friend..." wes paused. David looked at him confused but didn't say anything, wanting wes to carry on. Wes looked at his hands in his lap " ..and you knew that another friend was the reason your friend was upset, but you couldn't say anything even though this other friend was being a complete asshole, how would you help them both without actually saying anything?" Wes finished looking at David expectantly, willing him to understand without asking questions.

David looked at wes and furrowed his brow, he was confused, what was wes talking about? "Well i'd need more info than that before i could answer that?" David replied " like names would be good?"..

Wes looked at him and sighed " I can't tell you that, like i said i wasn't supposed to hear!" Wes said getting annoyed.

"Well don't get all shirty" David said " Look, forget about it for now and come and play black ops, let me kick your butt." David smiled at Wes as he sat back down on the floor.

Wes smiled "Ok, You're going down davey." David smiled wider as he bumped Wes's shoulder as he sat next to him. Wes turned to look at the screen as david watched him wondering what had got him so upset. He hated seeing wes upset, you see David had been in love with him since the day they met 3 years ago, but he'd never told Wes, Wes was straight and he valued their friendship more than anything. He would never tell him no matter how much it hurt.

The sun streamed through Kurts window, Kurt stirred and sat up stretching his back. Why was he so achy?

Kurt looked aound, Why was he on the floor, by his door? confusion on his face, then his eyes widened as it all came flooding back. The lunchroom, Blaine and that boy, his breakdown when he reached his room. God he was glad no one witnessed that, his heart breaking again as it flooded through his brain, tears threatening to fall.

He slowly pulled himself from the floor, stretching his aching muscles. He walked over to his dresser dreading who would look back at him from the mirror. He gasped as he took in his appearance, his hand covering his mouth.

He looked horrible, his eyes were all blotchy, his hair stuck out in all directions and he didn't moisturise last night!. No wonder everyone thought he was ugly, this is what they must all see. He was so stupid, how had he not seen it before?

His eyes widened even more as he caught the clock in the mirror, he turned sharply.

Oh god, i'm late for class, that's all he needed.

Kurt jumped up, realising he was still in his uniform, he tried to brush the creases out.

Oh god, oh god i look a mess

He quickly ran through his morning routine as best he could, grabbed his stuff and ran out his door. Running down the hallway, which was now empty he chanted to himself..

'I'm so late, i'm so late'.

He reached his classroom, stopped and tided himself some more. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he walked through the door.

"Mr Hummel? So glad you could join us" Mr edge said as he looked at Kurt.

"I'm s s sorry sir," kurt stammered, " I was up late last night studying and i over slept."

Mr Edge looked at Kurt frowning, "ok, don't let it happen again" He said, "Your lab partner is waiting".

Kurt smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, at least he'd get to spend time with Blaine now as they were lab partners. Kurt turned and took a step forward but he came to an abrupt stop, not believing what he was seeing. His face fell, his heart broke, there was Blaine in their corner of the class with the new boy, whispering and smiling. But what broke Kurts heart more was that Blaine had called it 'their corner of the world' now he was shareing it with him! Kurt choked at the thought, tears threatening his eyes again as he slowly walked over to the only empty seat next to Stan.

Stan who nobody liked to work with beause he always seemed to have a runny nose, Kurt watched Blaine and the new lad. He was shook back to earth as a loud cough and a wet spray touched his face

"Sorry" Stan said as Kurt turned to face him scrunching up his face. Everybody had turned to face them, looking wide eyed atKkurt all thinking 'oh my god kurt is gonna flip'.

Kurt turned and looked at Baine who was staring with the new boy, Kurt put on his best poker face and reached inside his messanger bag. Pulling out a wipe he carefull wiped his face, walked over to the bin and dumped the offending article inside. He then walked back to his desk and said "What are we doing today stan?"

Stan looked at him wide eyed and unable to talk, he pointed to the page in the text book. Everyone looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and carried on. Blaine stared at Kurt, a confused look on his face,before he then turned back to his work. All the while Wes watched the pair of them.

At the end of the lesson Kurt was packing away his stuff when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Blaine smiling at him, Kurt stood there staring not able to speak.

"So what happened to you?" Blaine asked as he smoothed down kurt's collar. Kurt smiled as it brought back memories of when they first met, then his face fell as that boy sidled up to Blaine placing his hand on his shoulder. Blaine turned to him and smiled that winning smile

Ii'm just coming" he said.

Blaine turned back to Kurt "Sorry bought leaving you with Stan, but couldn't let Jessie work with him" blaine said smiling. So that was his name kurt thought."Couldn't do that with the new kid" Kurt just stared at blaine.

"Well i have to go" Blaine said with a confused look on his face as he looked at Kurt, who hadn't said a word. "Watch all that study Kurt, you don't wanna let your self go too much".

Kurt stood there wide eyed as he watched Blaine run after his new playmate. A small tear fell from his eye as he thought 'Blaine thinks i'm a mess, he thinks i'm ugly'.

Kurt grabbed his things and walked out the classroom.

"Hey kurt, you coming to lunch?" Wes shouted as kurt ran past him. Kurt didn't answer as he ran for his room. How am i gonna fix this Wes thought as he watched Kurt run down the corridor.
