Chapter 10:
The Wonders of My World
Kurt came into school the next day with Noah on his arm. As the strutted down the halls of William McKinley High, They received looks varying from scathing to appreciative. Kurt honestly couldn't be bother to care, he just pressed closer to his boyfriend. Not his pseudo-boyfriend, or his ex-boyfriend, his boyfriend. The soprano couldn't help pressing a little closer the football player.
They walked towards Kurt's locker, and were not surprised to see Mercedes, Tina, Santana and Quinn gathered around, waiting for them.
"Hey ladies." Puck greeted as he dropped Kurt off at his locker. He pressed a soft kiss on the other boy's lips. "I'll see you later"
Kurt watched as Noah stalked off in the opposite direction of his first period class and couldn't help roll his eyes.
"Aww," Mercedes cooed. "You guys are so cute. He better make you happy, or I'll have to hurt somebody."
Kurt smiled, hoping it looked genuine. "Don't worry, he does."
Tina placed her arm through his and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Then why do you look so sad?"
"It's nothing." He tried to will away the tears; forget about the bittersweet taste of the whole situation.
All the gleeks gathered in the auditorium for the last performance of the assignment. They saw that some prospective members had isolated themselves at the far end of the room.
Nearest to the stage was a happy trio: A pale boy with dark hair, piercing blue eyes, and expressive eyebrows. On his right sat a boy with wispy golden hair and thick framed black glasses. On his left sat a girl with wiry orange hair and an energetic glow about them.
These three emanated glee and Kurt couldn't help smiling at the future.
On stage, Rachel was illuminated by one spotlight. She wore a dark blue cardigan and pleated khaki skirt.
"Hello to all my fellow gleeks, current and future." She smiled into the microphone. "I want to thank you all for coming this afternoon."
"It's not like we had a choice." Noah called out.
"Can it, Puckerman." Rachel called back before regaining her composure. "Anyway, as I was saying, I'm glad you all could be here. To me, to most of us, Glee isn't just a club, it's a family. We fight and compete sometimes, but at the end of the day we're here for each other." The house light turned down, and Rachel could no longer see her audience. She could, however, still feel the love in the room. "I just wanted to express that with this song, and hopefully convince some more people to add to the dysfunction."
Brad began to play a slow melody that gradually became more powerful. It was beautiful. Sad, yet strong and defiant.
I've been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I could call?"
"No and thank you, please Madam. I ain't lost, just wandering"
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
Ta-da!
