Kurt quickly ran into the nearest loos he could find and locked himself in one of the cubicles. How did that Neanderthal find out about me? He can't possibly know. Maybe he doesn't know. Maybe he's just bluffing. Yeah that's it, he's bluffing. He's gotta be. It's not like I'm physically showing it. Stay calm Kurt. Just as Kurt's mind was starting to get back to its normal speed someone came crashing in to the toilets. Shit.

"Yeah man. I'm telling you he's coming back today but he's gonna need extra protection ya know?" Finn was blatantly talking about Kurt but Kurt wasn't sure who he was talking about yet so stayed locked in the cubicle.

"Of course mate, but I wish you would just tell me what's wrong with him. We came to his house and he was wearing...well...not what he usually wears." Noah Puckerman. Mind your own business Puck Kurt thought.

Safe that the other people present in the toilets was only Glee club members Kurt emerged from the cubicle.

"Kurt?" Finn asked. His voice sounded worried. "Are you alright? I knew it was too early for you to come back."
"No Finn. I'm fine. It's just Karofsky told me he knows."

"How does he know? The only people who know are me, I didn't tell him, Miss P and she never even speaks to students about other students, mum and Burt."

"I was scared at first so I came in here but I think he's just bluffing."

"Dude, what the fuck is going on?" Puck stated just to make sure the other two remembered he was there.

"Puck, can you just give us a minute?" Finn asked (although it was more a command than a statement) never taking his eyes off Kurt. Puck left with a sympathetic glance at Kurt.

Once Finn was certain that Puck had left and was not just eavesdropping outside the door he turned to Kurt and, with a serious big brother look, told Kurt "You need to tell Glee club. I mean they're gonna know something's up when you can't dance through a whole number. No one's going to judge you Kurt. We're here for you, even Puck's concerned. That's gotta tell you something."

"Yeah maybe" was the only response Kurt gave. Finn could see tears welling up in Kurt's eyes now so he dropped the subject and gave Kurt a bone crashing hug. "Finn... Finn" Kurt wheezed "Kinda not making it easy for me to breathe right now"

"Oh sorry." Finn immediately let go of Kurt and walked him to his first lesson.

Unfortunately for Kurt, his first lesson of the day was Spanish, with Mr. Schue. It's not that Kurt doesn't like Mr. Schue, actually he is one of his favourite teachers, but he really did not want to explain why he's been missing Glee. Walking into his lesson he avoided eye contact with his teacher and headed straight for his seat waiting for his classmates to pile in together.

Throughout the lesson Kurt wanted Mr. Schue to look up. Something inside of him made him want the glee director to notice he wasn't himself. It was so obvious that he wasn't himself. Sure, he plastered himself in foundation so that you couldn't see the bags under his eyes from lack of sleep but his clothes were so boring. He was wearing a plain black t-shirt with a pair of baggy jeans. Yes, the clothes were designer (did you really expect any less in public?) but they didn't look designer. In fact, today you could even say that Kurt fit in. He looked like every other boy his age in this school. Hell, he looked like every boy in this school. However, the Glee director didn't look up and Kurt started to wonder if people would miss him if he was gone.

When he was gone.
