I feel absolutely HORRIBLE for taking so long to update this!!
Turns out, exams+semester changes+AP classes=writer's block for Rosette. Horrible, horrible writer's block. D:

So...it's taken forever, and it might not be that great, but...chapter two is finally done.

Disclaimer: Is Kurt Hummel the main character? Nah, I didn't think so. Needless to say, I do NOT own Glee.


"So, everybody," Mr. Schuester stood at the front of the choir room, grinning, "I've got some good news."

The Glee Club sat in the risers, confusion as well as excitement taking over their faces. They were all eager to hear Mr. Schue's surprise. Kurt sat in his chair, legs crossed, trying to fight back the grin that was obviously spread across his soft, pale features.

He knew the good news, and it was certainly good, indeed. Finn Hudson, world's greatest bari-tenor (OK, well, maybe he wasn't the greatest, but he was pretty damn good) was returning to Glee Club. Kurt could do nothing to hide the pure ecstatic joy that pulsed through his veins, but he tried his hardest, nonetheless. Oh, he tried, alright. But that didn't stop him from bouncing ever-so-slightly—albeit hyperactively—in his chair.

No one in the room really seemed to notice his extensive joy, except for Mercedes. She gave the small boy a questioning look before rolling her eyes and turning to look at the front of the classroom again. Kurt just giggled at his best friend's reaction and gripped the bottom of his chair tightly in a sad attempt to stop bouncing. It didn't really work, but it made him feel better about himself.

"Alright guys," Mr. Schuester finally spoke up again, "calm down, calm down!!" He let out a soft laugh before continuing, "So, I know…that we were all devastated by the loss of Finn. And when he rejoined you for that brief time at Sectionals, Miss Pillsbury could tell that all of you felt a little bit better about your chances. So…I'm sure all of you would like to know that," He paused, just for a moment.

Scratch that. He paused for a ridiculously long moment. Kurt felt his ecstatic bouncing becoming more and more sporadic. Each passing second seemed like an hour to him…and he didn't think he could take the silence much longer.

Thankfully, Schuester finished with, "Mr. Finn Hudson has returned to Glee club!"

The teacher motioned his arms to the door like a game show host. Through it walked Frankenteen himself, smiling sheepishly and rubbing the back of his head.

"Gosh Mr. Schue, that was…that was kinda deep." A light red blush blanketed Finn's neck as he stood in front of the club and waved. "H-hey guys!"

Kurt was the first to react, waving back almost immediately. The rest of the club followed suit, giving small waves and smiles. The guys stood up and bumped fists with Finn, the girls forming a line and receiving small, friendly hugs. In contrast, Finn held Quinn in a long embrace, lightly brushing a blonde strand out of her face when they broke apart. She smiled up at him.

From across the room, Kurt shot Quinn daggers full of jealousy and anger. He knew Finn should be his. He knew Finn would be his. There was no doubt in his mind. Well…no doubt except for that one small little problem. That small little fact that Finn was straight was just one little hindrance in his plan. Just that one! Oh…and the fact that Finn's stupid straight girlfriend was pregnant.

'It's not even his!!' Kurt thought at he looked longingly at Finn. 'Stupid GIRL. I know he'll see the wrongs of his ways.' He sighed, 'And then, he'll be running into my arms.'

He was broken out of his daydreams with a quick tap to his temple from Mercedes. He smiled and walked up to Finn, hoping for a second that he would receive a hug as long and romantic as the one Quinn had gotten. His hopes were dashed as Finn grabbed his hand and shook it awkwardly, then bumped his fist lightly. Kurt smiled and walked away, heading to talk to Mercedes and Tina.

"Aw, hell. That's drama waitin' to happen." Mercedes was looking Finn as soon as Kurt approached the two girls. She looked angry.

"I wonder what they're gonna do?" Tina asked, looking in the same direction. "I guess they'll have to confront each other eventually, so…no time like the present, right?"

Kurt turned around to see what they were talking about when his eyes landed on the scene at hand.

Puck had approached Finn, just like the rest of the Glee Club had done, but this time it went a bit differently. Instead of smiling and enjoying the attention, Finn seemed to turn into a completely different person. Puck said something that set Finn off, and that hate he couldn't feel? Oh, he felt it all right, in one violent burst. Finn lifted metal chair with one hand as if it were nothing and tossed it across the choir room. Mr. Schue turned around and immediately started trying to calm Finn down, and Puck was ignored for all of about two seconds.

"That dumb whore got my girlfriend pregnant!" Finn screamed, his voice cracking with the volume, as he pointed at his ex-best friend. "He got her pregnant and everyone just expects me to forgive him? Even HE thinks I should forgive him! You're all out of your minds!! There's no way in HELL that I will ever forgive that son of a bitch!"

Kurt looked at Finn through his entire shout-fest, not even trying to hide his fear. His blue-green eyes were wide in shock and his already pale skin seemed paler. He let his eyes stray to Puck, and even the almighty Kurt Hummel couldn't believe what he saw.

Noah Puckerman—terror of the school, horrifying jock, king of the Slushie Facial—looked frightened. And sad. It was not a look Kurt had come to associate with the mohawked teen. As Finn yelled and spat insults at him, Puck just stood there, emotions plastered all over his face, and took them. Every single one. And, though he would never admit it, Kurt felt sorry for him.

After almost an hour had passed, Schuester had finally managed to calm the quarterback down. He gave the group a short—and much needed—break, and then Glee practice was to begin as usual. It wasn't until then that he noticed that someone had gone missing.

"Where's Puck?"
