A Second Bite Chapter 10: Prom, a glee fanfic

A/N Here is a short chapter for you. I'm sorry it took me forever to write it. I kind of got stuck for the longest time. Still kind of having troubles with this story, so please be patient with me. I will finish it.

…

Prom

"Prom?" Blaine asked, unsure he had heard correctly.

"Yes, you, me, fancy outfits, dancing," Kurt said temptingly, and then sighed. "Look, I know the last dance you went to didn't end on a good note, and if you say no, I'll be perfectly fine with it. I just want to spend some time with you. If you don't want to go to prom, we can watch videos all night in my room. Or we can go out to dinner and a movie. We could pack a picnic and dance by ourselves under the stars. What ever you want to do."

Blaine smiled at him. "It would be my honor to go to prom with you."

Kurt's smile lit up the room. "Thank you thank you thank you! I promise nothing will go wrong! It will be perfect!"

…

"And your 2011 Prom Queen is...Kurt Hummel."

The silence in the gym was so thick, even the crickets were too afraid to chirp. Kurt looked around at the faces of the McKinley student body. Their faces all showed the truth they had been hiding since he had returned. None of them wanted him here. He didn't belong. This was their cruel way of telling him exactly what they thought of him.

Tears slid down his face and he couldn't hold back a choked sob as he ran out the nearest exit, followed a second later by Blaine. Stephanie watched them go, fury shaking within her. She saw Santana and Quinn both also storm out. She'd worry about them later, for now, she was going to give these people a piece of her mind. She stomped onto the stage and glared out at the audience.

"How dare you? What has Kurt ever done to any of you? Are you all so pathetic you have to try and tear someone else down to make yourselves feel better?" She knew she was projecting compulsion onto each and every one of them, and at the moment she didn't care. She wanted them to realize what they had done. "Kurt Hummel is one of the kindest, sweetest, most generous souls on this planet, and you all can't stand the fact that he's a little different than you! Well guess what? Being different is the best thing about him! You are just jealous because you are too afraid to be yourselves, and he wears it proudly, even when it means he is constantly being bullied for it! You all should be ashamed of yourselves!"

She glared at them all once more, and then walked regally off stage, and was immediately surrounded by the members of New Directions still present in the gym. They all smiled at her, and high fived her. She sat down on Artie's lap, burying her face in his neck as tears started to fall. They wheeled out of the gym, followed by the others, stopping in the choir room.

"Wow, Stephanie, that took guts. I wish I had thought of doing that." Tina hugged her.

"You're brave, girl," Lauren said. "I like that. You're gonna kick butt at this school. They won't know what hit them."

Stephanie let out a little giggle at that, sniffling a little as she wiped at the tears. "I just can't stand to see people treated like that. Don't they know how cruel the world already is?"

Artie held her tighter. He knew exactly why she was crying. He murmured softly to her, knowing she would hear him. "Not everyone is cruel. You and Kurt will have a very long time to change the world for the better. Who knows, after tonight, some of those idiots in there might realize what they've done and make a change for the better."

She noticed Finn giving her a peculiar look as she hugged Artie again. The tall teen just gave her a little nod of acknowledgment, and she knew, without reading his thoughts, that the older boy had read the book Kurt had given him, and put the puzzle pieces together.

She smiled at him, and then looked at the others in the room. "Come on, let's go back in there and support Kurt. Knowing him, he'll be back in there any minute to make those morons feel just how small and insignificant they are."

Mercedes laughed. "Amen to that. That boy is titanium."

They all agreed with that, and headed back into the gym, and were met by Quinn, Rachel, Santana and Brittany. Tina filled them in on what had happened after they'd left. Quinn and Santana both apologized to the younger girl, and Rachel and Brittany hugged her.

…

Blaine smiled at his boyfriend, handing him a tissue. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Kurt blew his nose, straightened his kilt, jacket, and his spine, and holding his head up, he nodded. "I refuse to let them win."

"After you, then, my King."

"Or Queen, as it were," Kurt retorted. They both grinned, and headed in to the gym.

The first thing Kurt saw was New Directions, standing beside the stage, smiling encouragingly at him. He returned their smile, and took the stage with regal grace, accepted his crown and scepter. He looked out at the crowd with his best Bitch glare in place.

"Eat your heart out, Kate Middleton."

New directions began to cheer, and the other students begrudgingly followed suit.

"And now it is time for the traditional first dance with your Prom King and Queen."

Kurt's eyes went a little wide as he glanced over at Karofsky. He could see the fear in the other boy's face. He smiled playfully at him. "Well no offense to his majesty, but he's not really my type, and I've never been one to stand on tradition anyway. So if you don't mind, I think I'd rather dance with my boyfriend."

Kurt saw the look of gratitude David sent him, that was quickly masked. He turned to Blaine, and smiled. "May I have this dance?"

"You may." And they stepped into each other's arms as Mercedes began to sing.

You shout it out,
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
Shoot me down, but I get up

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium

The other members of New Directions joined in, making it clear to everyone else at the school that they were a united front, and they were through with letting anyone push any of them around.

Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much

Stone-heart, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone heart loves bulletproof glass

You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
