I sighed. "I'm worried about Kurt."

Finn frowned. "Why?"

"Because he left form before me. And there were loads of people about. And I wasn't able to catch up with him. So he had no idea where he was going and probably got lost somewhere and didn't make it to his next lesson and-"


I felt a hand on each of my shoulders and jumped. Finn was staring at me, that look of concern for me present in his eyes. He removed his hands so that he could talk to me. "Relax."

I stared at him.

"K-U-R-T is fine. I came to find him after form. He's in my class."

"But he wasn't there."

"He's gone to Miss P's office. To have a chat about everything. Introduce himself."

I nodded, letting the information sink in. "He's okay."

"He's fine." Finn paused, squeezing his hands while thinking how to phrase what he was about to say. "You seem close?" His eyes were widened and head tilted in question.

I shrugged noncommittally. I glanced about. Nobody was about but this conversation would be a lot better if nobody could overhear. "He's a great guy. And he's your cousin. Am I not meant to care about Eyes?"

Finn stared at me. "What did you just call him?"

I licked my lips, nervous. "Eyes."

"Eyes?"

"Eyes," I confirmed.

Finn nodded slowly. Then suddenly he raised his head and looked behind me. I saw his lips move. He nodded quickly then returned his eyes to me. "I have to go. Can I trust you to get back to your lesson?" I nodded. "Then I'll see you at break." I nodded again. "I'll bring Eyes."

I stuck my tongue out at him and walked away.
