Oh wow…it has been way to long since my last update! So sorry about that. I lost my internet connection at my house. However, it is back (for now) and I will be updating as soon as possible. The one good thing about me having no internet connection is that I had a TON of time to write so besides this chapter I have the next chapter written and part of 15 :) I am hoping to have the next chapter up sometime tomorrow.

Thank you Dana, ColferFan1217 and hooked-on-degrassi for reviewing.

I DO NOT OWN GLEE, ANY CHARACTERS OR SONGS.

Kurt was at his locker Monday when he saw Quinn and Santana.

'Oh crap,' he thought. He has been ignoring them since what happened at the mall. Kurt quickly grabbed his stuff and headed to class but the two girls followed.

"Hey Hummel," Santana shouted.

Kurt stopped. He knew he couldn't ignore them forever.

"Yes girls."

"So Kurt did you call that hobbit," Santana asked.

"His name is Blaine and no I didn't."

Santana put a hand on her hip and rolled her eyes.

"Yeah right."

"Ok, fine, I did text him," Kurt confessed.

"Really? What did you say," Quinn asked.

"I just asked him to have coffee with me after school."

"Wow, does Puck know," Quinn asked.

"Of course he knows! I'm not going to run around with some boy behind his back."

"Hold up. Puckerman knows you are meeting another cute boy after school and is not jealous," Santana asked amazed.

"Well," Kurt said, "He knows I am meeting a guy for coffee but doesn't really know he is gay."

"Oh," the girls said.

"Now, if you will please excuse me I have to get to class," Kurt said and left.

Both Quinn and Santana watched Kurt leave. Quinn leaned into Santana and whispered,

"When Puck finds out Blaine is gay do you think he is going to freak?"

"Oh yeah. My bet is that Puck is going to hunt this boy down,' Santana replied.

Both girls shared a chuckle and went to class.

Kurt was in class but could not concentrate.

'I would never cheat on Noah,' Kurt thought. But something inside him just kept nagging at him.

After school Kurt was waiting by Noah's locker. He was supposed to be on his way to meet Blaine but he had to talk to Noah first.

"Hey babe," Noah said when he saw Kurt.

"Hi, I have to tell you something," Kurt said getting straight to business.

"Oh, Okay. What's up?"

"I'm meeting Blaine for coffee today."

"Yeah, I know Kurt."

"Umm Blaine is a boy."

Noah chuckled, "Yeah I figured that Kurt."

"Oh yeah, well, he is well, he's gay too."

"Oh."

"Yeah I just wanted you to know. You don't have to worry Noah. I would never cheat on you."

"It's okay Kurt. I trust you."

Noah gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek and went to practice.

Kurt was stunned. No anger, no jealously, nothing. Wow, Noah was maturing. Kurt walked to his car and headed to the Lima Bean.

Now it was Puck who could not concentrate. He could not concentrate at all during practice. He dropped passes and would space out whenever the coach talked about plays. He was definitely not himself. After practice Finn came up to him.

"Hey man. What's up with you today?"

Puck sighed.

"I found out that this Blaine guy Kurt is starting to hang out with is gay too."

"Oh, well, are you scared Kurt is going to cheat or something?"

"No way. I completely trust Kurt. But, I don't know, there is this feeling I just can't shake off."

"Oh, well, Kurt said they are meeting at the Lima Bean. Want to go check things out," Finn asked.

"No. That would look like I don't trust Kurt and I do. Kurt said this kid is from Westerville right?"

"Yeah."

"I know this week is filled with practice and glee but next week are you up for a little trip to Dalton Academy?"

Kurt arrived a little early at the Lima Bean. He sat in his car for a few minutes before deciding to wait inside. He grabbed a table and sat down. After a few minutes he thought he had been stood up, but I mean come on who stands someone up for coffee. However, a little later he saw a silver Mercedes-Benz pull up. Blaine got out of the driver side.

'Wow, nice car,' Kurt thought.

"Blaine," he called out when he saw him enter. Blaine had obviously drove straight from school because he was wearing a red and blue blazer and striped tie.

"Hey Kurt," Baline said. They shared a brief hug and got in line to order. After they both got their drinks they sat down and started to talk.

"So how was school," Kurt asked.

"Pretty good," Blaine said, "The Warblers are really improving. I think next year we might compete."

"The Warblers? What's that," Kurt asked.

"Oh, sorry, that is the name of our glee club."

"Okay, so next year we could be rivals."

"Yeah, I guess so."

The boys laughed.

"How is your boyfriend?"

"He is good. He is really supportive of our friendship."

"That's good," Blaine said with a smile.

Kurt and Blaine talked about everything from friends, to glee, to T.V., to movies and other things. After a while both boys had to head home. When they were leaving Blaine asked Kurt a question.

"I had fun today but can I ask you something?"

"Sure Blaine."

"How did your dad react to your coming out?"

"Oh well he actually took it pretty good. He said he has known since I was three and was just waiting for me to feel comfortable to come out to him. It has been an adjustment and things are not always easy but he really tries to make everything okay."

"Wow Kurt. You are lucky. I'll see you later," Blaine said and got in his car and drove home.

'I'm lucky? What does he mean?' Kurt thought. Apparently there is more to Blaine Anderson then meets the eye.

The next days flew by and the next thing Kurt knew he was sitting next to Noah in glee holding hands. Mr. Schue walked inside the room.

"Okay guys, sectionals are coming up and to get you pumped up I have three words for you." He then walked up to the whiteboard and wrote

GIRLS VS. BOYS

"We are going to have a little competition. So I want girls on one side and boys on the other."

As the kids started to split up, Kurt walked to the girl's side.

"Okay everyone—"Mr. Schue stopped talking.

"Kurt, boy's side."

Kurt rolled his eyes and stomped over to the other side of the room sitting next to Noah.

"Okay, the assignment is to create a mash-up. What this means is that both teams are going to take two songs and mash them together to make an even better song."

Both sides immediately started talking. After a while it was settled. The boys were doing "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi and "Confessions Part II" by Usher. The girls were singing "Halo" by Beyoncé and "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. Both teams were performing at the next meeting and after a few days of practice both teams were ready to perform.

Finally it was competition day and both sides were ready. Before the competition started Kurt sat next to Tina.

"Hey Tina."

"Hey Kurt. Last weekend was fun."

"Yeah it was. I was just wondering how you felt about Mike."

Tina blushed.

"Oh, Mike is really cute and he has great abs."

Mr. Schue walked in and told everyone to get into their groups. Kurt stood between Mike and Noah. Kurt whispered to Mike,

"Tina really likes you. I'd go for it."

Mike smiled.

Mr. Schue then started talking.

"Okay, would one person from each group please step up."

Rachel and Finn stepped into the center of the room.

"Alright everyone, to decide who goes first we are going to be using a good old coin toss."

"Heads," Rachel yelled as Mr. Schue flipped the coin.

"Tails. Guys you are up first."

The guys positioned themselves on stage and the music started.

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted

No silent prayer for the faith departed

And I ain't gonna be

Just another face in the crowd

You're gonna hear my voice

When I shout it out loud

It's my life

…

These are my confessions

Just when I thought

I said all I can say

My chick on the side

Said she got one on the way

These are my confessions.

The song ended and the girls cheered. Then the girls took the stage.

Oh remember these walls I built

Well baby they're tumbling down

They didn't even put up a fight

They didn't even make a sound

…

I used to think you loved me

Now baby I am sure

And I just can't wait for the day

When you knock on my door

Oh now now

I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh

I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh

I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh oh!

And don't it feel good.

…

After the girls performed the boys cheered.

"Wow, both sides did really good," Mr. Schue said.

"Let's just call it a tie. The point was to get everyone excited for sectionals and everyone seems pretty pumped."

After rehearsal Mike asked Tina to hang back while everyone left. Kurt walked out the door with a knowing smile.

"So Kurt how was that Blaine kid," Noah asked.

"Oh, fine. He is really nice. I'm glad he wanted to be friends it was nice to have someone else to talk to. Don't get me wrong Noah, I love that I can talk to you about almost anything—"

"But you also like to have other people to talk to. I completely understand Kurt."

"KURT," they heard behind them. They turned around and saw Tina. She pulled Kurt into a hug.

"Guess what?"

"What," Kurt said hiding a smile.

"Mike Chang asked me out."

"AHH," Tina and Kurt screamed together.

"Oh my god Tina that is great news. When are you going out?"

"This Friday night."

"Well have fun."

"Oh, I plan on it."

After Tina left Noah spoke.

"I'm glad Chang manned up and asked her out."

"Yeah, me too."

"Speaking of Friday night I know we haven't had any, you know, us time lately."

"Oh, Noah it's fine. You have to help take care of your sister and mom and you have football."

"I know Kurt but I don't want to neglect you. So look my mom works a double shift Friday night so I was thinking after you have the family dinner you value so much maybe you wouldn't mind helping me babysit?"

"Oh, I would love to Noah! I would invite you guys to family Friday night dinner but you know my dad has his rule. Family only—no boyfriends or girlfriends, I mean even Quinn has never been to a Friday night dinner. The one time I told him Finn and I were going to Quinn's on a Friday well it did not go well."

"Yeah, just come over later."

"Okay, I'll talk to my dad into dinner being a little bit earlier."

They shared a kiss and Kurt drove home. Later that night he got a text.

Text—From: Blaine Anderson

Hey Kurt! How did your glee competition go?

Kurt texted back.

Text—To: Blaine Anderson

It went well! Thanks for asking. How was your day?

Text—From: Blaine Anderson

Good. Nothing to exciting happened. I had fun hanging out. We should hang out again sometime I need some advice.

Kurt and Blaine texted for a while and decided to hang out the day following sectionals. Kurt was about to go to sleep when he got another text. This one was from an unknown number.

Text—From: Unknown
