A/N: I'm sorry it took a little longer to update this time. I've been busy, and the sun is finally shining again :P Right, anyway... I'm sorry if any of the characters seem OOC in any way, and I'm aware that Rachel's acting sort of weird here. I hope that that won't bother you too much :) Anyway, hopefully you'll enjoy the chapter! Only one or two chapters after this!
The half hour that followed was, most likely, the longest half hour of Blaine's (admittedly still rather short) life. Mike had turned the radio on, in an attempt to lighten the mood and to get their minds off of what they were about to do. That thought still made everyone pretty anxious. As for Blaine, he was still hoping with all his might that Kurt would be okay (and that the same could be said for them in about an hour), but he wasn't as afraid as the others. In fact, he was almost impassive – what was the worst this woman could do to them?
Turning on the radio, however, didn't lighten the mood at all – Rachel insisted that she should sing along with every song, not giving anyone else any chance at that. When Finn and Mike started humming along, and Tina actually sang along, Rachel freaked out.
Blaine couldn't imagine Sue Sylvester being anymore scary than Rachel when denied of one of her solos.
The exit to Fort Wayne didn't come a second too late, as Rachel was now shouting at Tina for stealing her spotlight, and Finn was telling Rachel to just calm down. Blaine assumed that normally, this was Mike's task, being Tina's boyfriend and everything, but he was thankful that Mike was paying attention to the road instead.
"How much longer is this going to take?" he asked tentatively, hoping that his question would stop the fighting that was going on in the car.
It didn't. It just made Rachel mad at him instead of Tina.
"Why are you so impatient?" she snapped at him. "We're off the highway already, see?" Blaine was almost afraid that she would try to bang his head into the window so he could really see that she was telling him the truth. "We're almost there! It won't take much longer. Mike!"
Blaine let out a relieved breath as Rachel started telling Mike off for… well, Blaine didn't know exactly. He caught Tina's eye and she shrugged, as if trying to tell him 'What can you do about it?'
These people were crazy. Absolutely, ridiculously crazy.
Worst of all, they were Kurt's friends.
Mike was following Sam again, who apparently had navigation in his car. Rachel was now fighting with Finn, who was, apparently, used to it, and just let her rant on and on and on. That was, until Blaine decided that he'd had enough.
"No offense, Rachel, but don't you ever shut your mouth?" he asked, trying to stay polite.
Tina shook her head frantically, but it was too late already – Rachel turned back to Blaine with an almost manic glint in her eyes, and she started yelling about him being an ass and whatnot. Blaine honestly wondered how Mike could drive like this.
Fortunately, only about ten minutes later (Rachel was still shouting at him, though not as loudly as in the beginning), they pulled into a parking lot, and Mike announced, a little tiredly, "We're here."
This seemed to catch Rachel's attention – which was quite a miracle in itself, as Mike hadn't exactly shouted, whereas Rachel had. She craned her neck to see for herself, and she nodded appreciatively. "Yes, we are. Now park the cars and let's get going."
As she said this, Puck came speeding past their car, grinning as he did, and Mike sped up a little as well. Rachel just rolled her eyes in disgust.
Less than half a minute later, Blaine (and the other occupants of the car) stumbled out of the car. "We're here," he muttered to himself. "We're here."
"I know, right?" Blaine quickly turned to his left, only to find Wes and David standing there. They looked a little carsick, even though they hadn't even been in Puck's car.
"Finally," Wes sighed.
"At least you weren't in a car with the girl who didn't stop screaming for the past half hour," Blaine said sourly.
"True," David admitted. "But at least you weren't in a car with one girl who kept trying to feel you up, and another who kept making… sexually tinted comments."
"Couldn't you just tell her you were gay?" Blaine asked them, as they followed the New Directions students towards the school. It looked like a normal public school, but who knew what lay hidden inside of it.
"That was what the other girl – the Latina – kept implicating," David replied, while Wes groaned at the memory.
"And the blond girl told us that that didn't matter, because Kurt's gay too and apparently she's made out with him as well," Wes added, with a slight smirk, and Blaine stopped walking.
He stared at the two council members in disbelief. "What?" he asked incredulously. "Kurt made out with a girl? That doesn't make any sense! He told me – " What, exactly, had Kurt told him after the Karofsky thing? That he'd never been kissed – at least not one that counted. So… maybe he had kissed that girl, but he didn't want to count it?
Which Blaine thought was a little strange – at least this girl was a friend of his, while Karofsky was anything but. Even though he was gay, he'd rather count a kiss with a girl who was a friend than a forced one with a guy who was also a bully.
"Yeah, apparently, he did," Wes told him, now laughing out loud at the perplexed look on Blaine's face.
At that moment, they were waved over by the McKinley group. "We should split up," Rachel told them as quietly as she could. "That way, we won't stand out too much."
"But there's a bigger chance at getting caught," Tina said. "I mean, if they get suspicious of the first group, a second and maybe third group will make that even worse!"
Rachel sighed dramatically, and looked ready to start a full-blown speech on why they should use her plan, but Puck cut in just in time. "Let's just go," he hissed. "We got out of an airport unscathed, we can certainly do this."
"Where do you even want to go?" Quinn asked, looking around the group.
"The auditorium, of course!" Rachel announced, starting to walk away. "I know where that is! If you'll all just follow me!"
It was as if luck was on their side today – for the second time, they were running around places where they actually shouldn't be at all, and nobody tried to stop them. Sure, most of them looked like they could easily go here – except for Wes and David, who were still wearing their Dalton uniform.
Indeed, they made it to the auditorium without any trouble. "Why are we here?" Brittany – at least, Blaine thought it was her (he couldn't see her from where he was standing), and he immediately wondered if Wes and David had meant that she was the girl Kurt had made out with – asked, and Santana tried to hurriedly fill her in again.
"Are we sure that Kurt's here?" Mercedes' voice came from the other side of the group.
"If coach Sylvester kidnapped him, he probably is," Rachel replied in a business-like voice. "After all, she has no other reason to be here than coach Aural Intensity, and I'd assume that they're in the auditorium now."
Nobody questioned Rachel any further – Blaine supposed that they were all too afraid that she'd blow up again, now in the middle of a hallway in a school that wasn't theirs – and she grabbed the handle of the door to the auditorium.
"Be quiet, all of you," she told them, even though none of them was making any sounds. "We need to do this in silence. If we get caught, we're dead."
"How will we get Kurt back by being silent?" Puck asked, and Rachel was beginning to become impatient again.
"We'll figure something out," she hissed almost venomously. "Now get in here, and be quiet."
So they did.
A/N: Yes, they're finally there. About time, right? Let me know what you thought about this chapter/the whole story, please leave me a review! :D
