Chapter 2:

"Kurt! I'm not saying it again, hurry up!"

Kurt could hear his father yelling from upstairs but he couldn't find his world history paper. He had worked so hard on it last night there was no way he was leaving the house without it.

"C'mon!" Finn was now yelling to hurry as well. He had promised to give Rachel a ride to school in the morning as well so he was anxious to be on time.

"AHA!" Kurt found the paper in a stack on binders under his desk and ran out of his room with his paper in hand. "Let's go, I'm ready."

Finn rolled his eyes and was already outside starting the car.

"Bye Dad! Bye Carol!" Kurt shouted as he got into the passenger's seat. Barley in time as well since Finn already started reversing. Kurt moved to the backseat when they got to Rachel's house and threatened to vomit in Finn's car if Rachel and Finn didn't stop making out.

The three made it to school with exaclty 5 minutes to spare. They parted ways and Kurt went off to his first class of the day.

Kurt was falling asleep in Calculus again when his phone buzzed. This was his most dreaded class. Calculus was just so boring and difficult. He looked down at his phone at the unknown number.

212-353-4573

I'm serious. Consider our friendship over if you ask once more.

Kurt stared at the number confused. There wasn't anyone at school who hated him or anyone he had recently stopped being friends with so it was most likely a wrong number.

Kurt:

Sorry, I think you have the wrong number.

212-353-4573

I'm not playing Jeff!

Kurt:

Really, wrong number. Sorry.

212-353-4573

Okay so maybe our fight got a little out of hand, but c'mon! Remember the last guy you set me up with!? I went to the bathroom and when I came back he ate all my food :(

Kurt:

You really do have the wrong number lol

But sorry about the guy who ate your food

212-353-4573

oh god… I'm so sorry! I have Jeff's number memorized but the 6 is right next to the 7… Sorry!

Kurt:

No worries! Hope you and your friend work out whatever was wrong :)

212-353-4573

Thanks! :)

And sadly, that was probably the most interesting converstation Kurt's had in a while.

After an hour of torture in Calculus, Kurt headed off to his next class, then his next, and another one, lunch, and then 2 more classes.

Kurt loved his friends and family but there were days like today where he just felt alone. Not physically but emotionally. There was no one he connected with or would even consider a best friend. Apart from Rachel, but she spent most of her time with Finn anyway.

"Kurt!" Finn was running to where Kurt stood in the parking lot after class.

"Hey Finn, ready to go?" Kurt started walking toward Finn's car when he noticed Rachel sitting in the passenger's seat.

"About that…" Finn shifted his eyes to look away from Kurt and settled to staring at his feet. "Rachel and I have officially been together for a year now and I really want to take her out for dinner and stuff but I need my car and I reeeally wanted to take her to this play that starts in like 20 minutes so we have to leave now and…"

"Finn!" Kurt cut him off and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Go. Really. 1 year is a huge deal, I'll take the bus home."

Finn grinned widely and hugged Kurt before running off into his car and driving away with the love of his life.

Kurt stared after them and sighed. It was great that Finn was so in love but it just reminded Kurt of how lonely he was. He decided to make today an adventure. It had been too long. It was Friday night after all! He sent a text to his dad that he would be out with friends. He hated lying to his dad but Kurt needed this. He hopped on the first bus to Manhatten.
