Chapter 39: Rumors Travel Fast

As Kurt walked in to the school with Kitty, he grumbled and knew that everyone would whisper as they strolled down the hall, holding hands. Lance would glare and threaten Kurt under his breath and Kitty would kiss him on the cheek, making sure that Lance would see. Kurt had pouted slightly as he made his way to his first class alone after having escorted Kitty to her first class. Down the hall, he could hear loud cheering and clapping.

That sounds like my Geometry class. But vhy vould they be cheering for math?

Kurt shrugged and tried to pay attention during Biology. When the bell finally rang, Kurt stepped out into the hallway to see Alara sitting in the hall, a Geometry book in her lap and a notebook on top of that, which she was writing something in. Kurt walked over to her and crouched down in next to her while people swarmed around her. Alara looked up at Kurt, smiling.

"Hey Cutie… I mean, Kurt."

Kurt smiled.

"Hey Alara. You're coming vith me. I have my next class vith you."

Alara smiled and got up, walking with Kurt towards the Public Speaking room. Pietro had gotten held up in class because Mr. Determan had told the class to stay behind so he could finish the lesson. As Kurt and Alara walked down the hall, people began to whisper and suddenly, Kitty appeared out of nowhere and attached herself to Kurt's arm. Alara and Kurt blinked in surprise.

"Oh. Hey guys," she said smiling. Then she leaned in and whispered, "People have been saying that you two were getting pretty close, so I thought I'd burst their bubble."

Alara and Kurt nodded, and looked forward, but Kurt could see that Alara's face darkened and hatred swirled around in her head.

"Rumors travel fast in this school, don't they?" Alara mused. Kurt thought it was more like she was fuming, but Kitty took it as thinking aloud.

"Oh yeah they do. You say one thing, and it's all over the school in about two minutes."

Suddenly, a spark came into Alara's eyes that made Kurt uncomfortable. She grinned evilly.

Oh no. This can't be very good. Kurt thought.

Kitty left them to head for her room and as Kurt and Alara walked to class, Kurt asked her, "Vhat vas that look?"

"What look?" Alara asked, still grinning evilly.

"That look. It makes me think you have a plan that could go very wrong."

Alara nodded and smirked.

"It can go very horribly wrong, but it should be interesting," she murmured, spotting the delinquent from her first period class. "Gimme a second."

She walked over to the delinquent and talked to him for a minute. Kurt watched suspiciously as she walked over grinning mischeviously and the delinquent ran off to his friends who spread out, talking excitedly to everyone.

"Oh no. Vhat did you do?"

"You'll see. He should be here any minute."

"Who?"

Suddenly, the ground began to rumble violently. People screamed in shock and as he got closer, the ground shook more and more violent. Lance was coming towards them, fuming. Alara turned around to look at a very furious Avalanche.
