Huh, a number I have never seen before, that's weird. "Hello?"
"Oh, um, hi, is this Blaine?" Wait, is this, is this Kurt? OMg, he totally sounds like Kurt.
"Yeah, who might I ask is this?" I hope it's him.
"This is um Kurt, hi." Kurt, wow. Say something….
"Kurt! Hi, I didn't know if you would call, I know we haven't spoken before."
Ok clam down, don't want to scare him away Blaine.
"No we haven't but I figured since you gave me your number…"
Right, I gave him my number. Ok, G-d I am so nervous.
"Oh yeah, ha-ha, well that's exactly what I gave it to you for. So I know I um said this in my letter but thanks again for helping me."
Let's try and sound a little more coherent shall we?
"I would do it again in a heartbeat." He has to be the sweetest boy on the planet.
"Well it really meant a lot to me and um I just, I would really love to take you out for coffee or lunch, or something, um to um repay you."
But mostly to get to know you.
"You really don't have to."
"But I really want to." Don't push, just calm down.
"Ok, I would like that." AH, he would like that, OMG, man I am seriously turning into a schoolgirl.
"Good, um, are you free afterschool tomorrow? We could go to the Lima bean after your done with glee practice."
Shit, now he's going to think you're a creepy stalker freak who knows his schedule, way to go.
"Yeah, that sounds great, meet me there at 4:30?"
"I will be waiting." Fuck, I didn't mean to flirt, ugh.
"Ok, see you then, bye Blaine."
"Bye Kurt."
That was the most amazing conversation I have ever had with another boy ever. I haven't really had any chance to date other boys. In 9th grade I went to a school were the only out gay kids were me and my friend Cameron. There was a Sadie Hawkins dance, which I have mentioned before, but what I didn't mention is that I had asked Cameron to go with me, and he said yes. We thought since there would be adults at the dance that nothing could happen to us. Boy were we wrong, well not completely. The dance went alright, we danced together and people stared but there wasn't anything they could do, but after, they must have been waiting for us to leave because we were only outside for 2 minutes before they came. Three huge jocks surrounded us and didn't hesitate to start beating us up. I was on the ground before I even knew what was happening. Cameron was on the ground too, and all I could think was how I felt like this was my fault, if I hadn't asked him, he wouldn't be on the ground with me, a stupid scrawny boy who couldn't protect himself, let alone anyone else.
I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, the first two days I was in a coma from the head trauma and I also had a broken arm. Luckily Cameron wasn't as bad, he only needed a few stiches and a nights stay at the hospital for a concussion. I was so glad he was ok, but the sad part was I had to hear it from Jasmine. Cameron and his family decided it was best if we didn't speak or see each other any more. I didn't have feelings for Cameron, but he was a good friend and I missed him everyday for months after the incident. I couldn't believe everything these fiends had taken from me. My good friend got hurt and in the process I lost him, I lost my dignity, I had to transfer schools, and most of all I almost lost my life. I decided then that I would never let anything, or anyone get in the way of my dreams, and of being who I am. I took up boxing at Dalton to defend myself, and now I am at Mckinely and taking steps towards the future that I choose.
At Dalton there had been a few boys that were interested, and even one that I was interested in to some extent, but he didn't like me back, and there was an age gap. Let's just say that serenading someone way older than you in their place of work doesn't really well…work. But now, being here, going to this school, making new friends, and most of all getting closer to Kurt (in however a miniscule manner), I feel for the first time in a long time that I am being true to myself in the most amazing of ways.
On Wednesday morning I felt strange, I didn't really know where all this stuff with Kurt was headed. Further more I didn't know if I should talk to him or not. Would it be weird to go out to coffee with him without having spoken to him first? Or since we aren't friends would it be presumptuous of me to think that he would even want to talk to me at school? Jesus I am confused.
"Jasmine I just don't know what to do."
"Oh poor little Blainey, stop worrying so much, talk to him, don't talk to him, it doesn't matter, at the end of the day you are going out to coffee with him and then you will have to talk to him no matter what."
"Your right! So I should at least say hi."
"I think that would be good, it would probably relieve the tension of talking to him later."
"Your totally right, ok, I can do this. Wish me luck, I am heading to Home Ec and I am going to sit next to Kurt, or at least talk to him, whatever."
"Good luck. Tell me how it goes next period."
"Will do."
I walked with a bit of spring in my step all the way to Home Ec where I found Kurt sitting behind one of the stations, it was now or never because the students were going to get here any minute and Brittany always sits next to Kurt. I walked right over to him, and with a burst of confidence I didn't realize I had, I sat down next to him. Finally. I looked over at him and he seemed to be blushing, oh G-d what if he was embarrassed to be seen with me or something….
"Hi Blaine." He was smiling now, ok so not embarrassment then.
"Hi Kurt." I smiled back, G-d his face is gorgeous when he smiles, also just in general.
"Um, so, are you feeling better?"
"Am I feeling better…. Oh, I was sick, right, yeah much, thanks for asking." He laughed for a second and then got suddenly quiet.
"Um, are we still on for coffee today?" He asked shyly.
"As long as you still want to?" Please say yes, please say yes.
"I do." Close enough.
"Then yes." He blushed again, that has to be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
"Glad to hear it." That's exactly when the students started to pour in. When Brittany came in she walked straight to where I was sitting and waited. She seemed to be incredibly surprised that I wasn't moving.
"Kurt, why is someone else sitting next to my precious unicorn?" I made a face at that, what could she possibly be talking about?
"Brittany, this is Blaine, he's my new…"
"Friend." I supplied. I hope that wasn't too forward of me. Kurt smiled again.
"Yeah, my new friend, he is going to sit next to me today. You can sit at the desk in front of us Brit Brit, it will be just like your sitting next to me."
"But Kuurt, I don't know what I am going to do without my daily dose of unicorn magic. How will I survive?"
"You will be fine Brit, now go sit down class is starting."
Kurt and I spent the class making Omelets together. It was fantastic. He was an amazing cook, his omelet was perfect and after he saw me mangle two of my own he taught me how to make them. We didn't talk much except about cooking because Mrs. Jackson, who was subbing for Ms. Daniels for the day, ran a tight ship when it came to Home Ec, but that didn't matter in the least. We smiled and laughed and cooked. It was amazing and it ended way too soon for my liking.
"So I will see you in history." I said.
"I will save you a seat… I mean if you want me to, I know you sit next to Jasmine, and, and…"
I interrupted his adorable babbling. "I would like that a lot." Really a lot, although poor Jazzz, oh well she will understand.
Kurt smiled again. "Ok, see you then."
"See you then Kurt."
We went our separate ways at that point, however I felt so much better with the knowledge that not only was I going to be seeing Kurt in history, but he would be saving me a seat. Wow, if this isn't the best day of my life then I don't know what is because nothing is better then seeing Kurt smile.
