New chapter! I apologize for the shortness! please enjoy! =D


It was Monday. Kurt had had the whole day on Sunday to finish up homework and think more about Saturday. He had never before felt that way around a girl. Hell, he didn't even know what he had felt actually. It had been a strange lurching feeling in his stomach, like nervousness, but it had also been present in his chest. He had eventually given up and assumed that it was just something he had eaten.

Kurt arrived at school in the morning on Monday. Ten minutes until the bell rang. Tina had come running up to him to pass the message on that Glee rehearsal had been changed to 3:30 due to Mr. Schue having an hour long tutoring session after school. He sighed and said he would be there. It was a pain in the neck to have to wait around at the school for over an hour doing nothing.

The day went by just as he had expected: boring and slushie-filled.

Kurt slammed his locker shut and headed to the library to wait for rehearsals to start. The halls were still pretty full with students. He dodged and weaved in between everyone until finally almost crashing into a group of the football players.

"Hey Hummel!" one of them said, shoving him backwards.

"Off to another tea party?" another laughed.

"Ok guys, what do you want now?" Kurt said exhaling.

"Oh nothing, we just wanted to give you a little present!" they all took a few steps towards him. One word popped into his head: run.

Kurt had whipped around and sprinted down the hallway with the gang of players running after him, calling him names.

Suddenly, as he rounded a corner, a hand gabbed him by the arm and pulled him into darkness. Another hand covered his mouth as he quietly listened to the sound of the jocks thundering past the door.

The darkness pressed on his eyes as the hand lowered from his mouth.

"Are you okay?" a voice whispered.

"Quinn?" he whispered back, "What are you doing?"

"Saving your ass!" he tone slightly more harsh.

"But why are you in a janitor's closet?"

"Those assholes were trying to slushie me again and I ran in here. I was checking if the coast was clear when you came around the corner."

"Oh, well, thank you." He said. His eyes had begun to adjust to the dark. He shifted his stance. It was a very small closet.

"Um, Quinn?" he said after a moment of silence.

"Yes?" he looked at her in the dark.

"Did you… hear about Glee club changing to three-thirty?" he said, swallowing.

"Mhm."

They stared at each other for a long moment.

Kurt's heart was pounding faster than ever before. He suddenly became very aware of how closely they were standing to each other. He could feel her warm breath on his face. He started to panic. He was standing dangerously close to a girl in the dark, alone. His stomach started to churn. His cheeks began to burn and the air felt thick. He had to get out. Into fresh air.

"Quinn?" he said faintly, "Do you mind if we get out of here? I don't feel so good."

"Sure," she said turn the doorknob. The door opened and cool air rushed into his lungs and light pierced his eyes. Quinn steered him out into the open by the arm.


"How are you feeling?" Quinn asked. They were in the girl's bathroom, Kurt sitting on the counter, Quinn wetting a paper towel in the sink.

"Alright I guess. It was just a little stuffy in there." He said shortly. Quinn moved over to stand in front of him and started dabbing at his forehead and cheeks with the paper towel.

"You still look a little pale. Do you need something to drink?" she said, sounding worried.

"No, I'm fine." he exhaled. She gave him a half smile. Her hand stopped on his cheek. He looked up at her. He started to feel sick again.

"Please stop." He said in a far-away voice.

"Stop what?" she said lowering her hand. She had a confused, but worried look on her face.

"I don't know. I don't know!" Kurt suddenly jumped up from the his seat on the counter and clasped his hands behind his head, "It's just… I… since I've been hanging out with you… when I'm around you I just get this feeling in my stomach and in my heart-" he paused. They looked at each other for a long while. Kurt stood in front of the stalls, his arms by his sides, and Quinn was still standing next to the sinks, the paper towel dripping in her hand onto the floor. They just looked into each other's faces.

Quinn inhaled. "Maybe we should go wait for the others in the choir room." She said softly.

"Yeah." He replied.

They exited the bathroom and walked down the hallway in silence.
