*hi! I really hope you guys like this chapter thanks for the support on the last!*
Kurt had unpacked his things with the help of Blaine, he now sat on his bed ,messaging his friends from the new directions.
NEW DIRECTIONS GROUP CHAT!! :)
Mercedes : Hey white boy, how's the new school going?? Those boys better be treating you right.
Kurt: It's going fine, the boys are nice. They want me to join the warblers though...
Rachel: Yessss! Kurt you have to join them!!!
Kurt: No way! at least not yet, I need to get settled here first, the work is harder here it might take some adjusting on my part.
Kurt sighed quietly and put down his phone, looking around the room he noticed the two boys who were introduced as 'Niff' sitting together on one of the bean bags, Jeff had his legs in Nicks lap while nick had started to play with his hair as they talked, Wes and david were talking about song choices for the warblers. Blaine was lying on his bed reading Harry potter while Thad and Trent were talking about… disney princesses? (credit to the dumbo who is sitting with me as I write this , called stephanie)
Soon enough the dinner bell went and kurt looked around confused,
"That's the dinner bell" Wes said,
"Dinner!" Jeff yelled, jumping up out of Nick's lap. Hitting him in the face on the way, "nicki! I'm so sorry, i didn't mean to" jeff started to apologize over and over again, to Kurts surprise some of the other boys started laughing, wes was shaking his head and elbowing blaine in the stomach trying to make him stop laughing,
"Jeffie, it's fine, don't worry bout it" Nick said and stood up trying to calm down his fretting boyfriend
"This is a daily occurrence" Wes said and sighed, "anyways let's go" he said and walked out all of the boys following in suit. Kurt stood at the back of the group as Jeff and Nick ran down the halls, with Wes running after them holding his gavel in the air -after many attempts to calm down the hyper boys- and yelling "Niff! Get back here! You idiots!- no don't touch that!"
"Sorry about those three" Blaine said to a very confused Kurt. "Wes is a bit uptight so it's fun to annoy him" he explained, Kurt nods slightly
"What's with the gavel?.." Kurt asked
"Oh, Wes is head of the warblers council and it was given to him so he could get people's attention during meetings. He may or may not have an slight obsession with it'' Blaine said laughing, Kurt couldn't help but laugh at that,
"Seriously?.." Kurt asked
"Yep. It's so annoying" blaine said as they turned the corner into the massive dining hall, "welcome to the dalton dining hall, it's a bit chaotic in here at times so be careful of flying food or screaming students" he said as he and Kurt followed the rest of their dorm mates to get food "tonight's spaghetti night, the food here is really good" Blaine pointed out as he got a bowl of food and waited for Kurt, who got a smaller portion. Blaine knew the kid was skinny but he would need more than that, "you sure that's enough?" He asked
"Yeah.. I'm just really nervous, I don't think I can keep much food down" Kurt said honestly and Blaine nods.
"Follow me," Blaine said as he walked to their table where Wes, Jeff and Nick were already sitting down and the others were either getting food or walking over to them.
"Blainey-"
"I told you not to call me that" Blaine said to Jeff as he nad kurt sat down
"Not gonna stop him" nick said
"Anyways! I need your opinion Blainey, Wes here doesn't want the warblers to sing 'hey soul sister' at sectionals" Jeff seid
"Wait why? That songs great" Blaine said looking at Wes
"It's just not the type of song that I think we should sing, okay?" Wes said "Please Wesely!"
"Not the full name." Nick said
"Jeff I said no and that's final" Wes said and blocked his ears knowing that Jeff using a full name was a bad sign, Jeff was good at begging and convincing people.
"Nooooo wesley please. Everyone loves the song, pleaseeeeee Wesleyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" Jeff continued begging.
"Jeffie, calm down. We can convince him later." Nick said, wrapping an arm around his boyfriend
"Fine." Jeff said and pouted before he and Nick started talking about their plans for the weekend.
"Sorry about that Kurt" Wes said and sighed "Jeff has some strong opinions, and when they are shut down that happens" he explained
"It's fine" Kurt assured him and started to eat a bit of his food, Blaine was right, for school food this was quite good.
Jeff was now arguing with Nick about why they should sing 'soul sister' and not some other classical song, Nick, of course, agreed, but had to remind him that the council had the final say in all decisions the warblers made. Kurt had started to slowly eat his food, but the nerves he had about this whole new school thing made it hard to not feel sick with every bite.
He was too nervous to focus on the conversation going on around him, pushing the food meaninglessly around his plate. He felt someone looking at him, he turned his head ever so slightly. It was Blaine who was looking at him. He couldn't help but become more nervous, yes, he was used to getting stared at, but this wasn't the same. Blaine wasn't looking at him with hate filled eyes, and rage. He was looking at him with concern, and what seemed to be kindness.
By the time lunch ended Kurt had barely eaten any of his food, but none of his roommates tried to pressure him into eating more, they knew this would be nerve racking for him and respected his boundaries. They had all gotten up and cleaned up after themselves, before leaving to go back to their dorm room . Kurt stayed at the back of the group, walking slowly trying to memorise the long halls they were walking through. It was his first day of school tomorrow and he didn't want to get lost, the headmaster assured him that Blaine, Jeff and Nick were going to be in all his classes, but one, geography and that was his first class tomorrow. Wes said he would show him where the classroom was as he would only be a few doors down.
TIME SKIP
Kurt took a deep breath as he straightened his tie and blazer. It was his first day at Dalton, he had class in twenty minutes. Kurt ran his hand through his hair, checking that he had everything one last time.
"Kurt? You okay?" Wes said as he walked over to him, his book bag in hand. Jeff, Nick and Blaine had to leave for class early as they were always late, ending in their teacher forcing them to leave early. David , Trent and Thad, had a free study period and went to the library, leaving Kurt and Wes alone. Kurt liked Wes so far, he reminded him of a brother in a way. He was nice.
"Yeah I'm fine.." he nod picking up my bag and checking he had all his books
"You'll be fine Kurt, you have really good teachers, and you'll have Niff and Blaine with you" Wes said encouragingly, he smiled at him, well it was more of a smirk "now let's go I need to grab some coffee on the way" he said and walked out waiting for kurt when he got out the door. Kurt quickly followed him, holding onto his bag tightly. Wes showed kurt the way to class, and bought him a coffee even after he argued that he didn't need to.
"Your class is right here. You have Mr Clark, he's really nice." Wes said when they got to his class. Kurt took a deep breath and nodded,
"Thank you Wes." he said and smiled slightly
"It's no problem, come find me if you need any help. I'll see you later" Wes waved before walking off, and Kurt was left alone again. He walked into his class, which was quite empty, and was greeted by the teacher now known as Mr Clark, he gave him his textbook and showed him to his seat.
By the end of my first class I had gotten rid of most of my nerves… I stood up packing away my things,
"Mr Hummel, would you please stay back a minute?" Mr Clark asked. 'Oh no…' he thought. Despite his ever growing nerves he nods. Gripping the handle of his bag tightly he walked over to his desk. "There's no need to worry Kurt, you aren't in trouble" the teacher said, and Kurt released a breath he didn't even know he was holding. Mr. Clark smiled slightly. "I heard your boarding with Wesley and his friends"
"Yes sir, I am" Kurt nods,
"Well as you know, all of those boys are in the warblers" Mr Clark started, kurt went to interrupt him but he held up his hand "please just give me a second to talk" he said whilst still smiling "I am coordinator of the warblers, not director, but due to school rules most clubs need a supervisor. And I know being the new kid can be scary, and making friends can be hard, so i'm inviting you to join us at practice this wednesday"
"Oh I don't sing-"
"I'm not asking you to sing, just come in and join us, make some friends" Mr Clark assured him. "Now you better run along now, i'll see you then" he smiled, as kurt said goodbye and walked out of the room.. he thought he knew his way to the next classroom but he got lost.
Kurt was looking around frantically trying to find his way to the next class, he could feel himself start to panic, it was scary, he could hear footsteps approaching him , and soon a tall boy, with broad shoulders, light brown hair, and hazel eyes stood in front of him. An annoyed and angry look present on his face, as he cornered kurt, hands crossed against his chest. Kurt slid down the wall bringing his legs close to his chest.
This was bringing back memories of mckinley. He couldn't do this, this kid was scary, and obviously older than him, Kurt noticed his uniform was a bit different. He had a plain red tie, with a badge clipped neatly onto his blazer, he was a head boy.
"New kid." the unknown boy snickered "what are you doing out of class? You lost?" he teased, Kurt could feel tears stinging the back of his eyes, and my vision hazed slightly, he bit my lip trying not to cry. "Aww you gonna cry?"
He couldn't help it, a few tears ran down his cheeks . He closed his eyes and prepared himself for the impact of the punch. He knew it was coming, yes the school had a zero tolerance for bullying but that didn't mean it worked.
"Hey! Leave him alone Clarington"
Niff and blaine are walking to their science classroom,
"Then it went bang! And exploded all over the table" Jeff was explaining some experiment he saw on the tv, and Nick was of course staring at him with 'heart eyes' it was truly adorable. They soon got to class and sat down, Blaine noticed that Kurt wasn't there and told the others "give it some time, he'll be here soon" Nick had assured him.
It was about fifteen minutes into class when Blaine started to get really worried, well Blaine was worried when he missed the first five minutes but that's besides the point. The teacher had told him that Mr Clark was holding kurt back for a bit. But by the time fifteen minutes went by, she told him to go look for him. Blaine quickly jumped out of his seat and ran out determined to find kurt. Dalton was massive and quite scary if you were new. Blaine knows Kurt is most likely safe and out of harm's way but he couldn't help but worry about him, a lot could go wrong. What if he fell over? What if he got in trouble?
Baline was running for quite some time. He was passing the dorms closest to Kurt's first class. I heard Hunter Clarington, head boy, talking.
"Aww you gonna cry?" he said, Blaine quickly turned the corner to see who he was taunting this time. He saw a small boy curled into himself as he sat against the wall, he had light brown…. Kurt!
"Hey! Leave him alone Clarington" blaine said as he walked over to the two of them, Hunter got away with so much. The teachers loved him, he acted like the most perfect and kind kid ever, but as soon as they left he was horrible. He used to go to a military school, Blaine and the others believe he is on something, like steroids, with how fast he is growing, and how bulky he is.
"And why should I?" he snickered, and blaine rolled his eyes
"Just because your head boy doesn't mean you get to be an a hole to everyone else, you wouldn't want the teacher knowing about this would you?" he asked as Hunter looked at him shocked, he knew he was taking a risk but Blaine couldn't bear to see Kurt hurt.
"You wouldn't" he said
"Try me." he glared slightly.
"Ander-"
"Mr clarigton, I've been looking for you….is everything alright here" Mr brown walked over to them, he looked at blaine then kurt and winked, blaine was silently thanking him. He had always liked Mr Brown. He's a good teacher, and he is fed up with Hunter's behavior, so that was a plus.
"No , everythings fine sir, what did you need?''
"You're twenty minutes late to maths" Mr Brown said in a disappointed tone.
"Oh sorry, I'll be right there sir," Hunter said quickly.
"Hurry," Mr Brown said, walking off, Hunter fast on his tail.
Blaine turned to Kurt and looked at him with a sad smile. He sat down in front of him
"hey kurt…" he said in a soft tone, and he flinched slightly. Blaine felt horrible for him, from now on, Blaine made it his mission to help him get better, help him smile more and not be so scared.
"Im sorry Blaine." Kurt said quickly.
"there's no need to be sorry" he said softly, but the boy put his hands over his face, shaking his head slightly "hey, look at me" Blaine said and he moved his hands "don't worry about what he had to say, he's an a hole" he said, kurt let out a small chuckle and Baine smiled, knowing he was able to make him laugh. "You're amazing, I know I haven't known you for too long but I can already tell."
"Thank you blaine"
"No problem!" he said happily, causing him to smile. Blaine wanted to say something more but a cheery voice that belonged to none other than Jeffry sterling interrupted him.
"Kurtsie! Blainey! There you two are!" he said skipping over to them, Kurt quickly wiped his eyes and smiled. Not even fazed by the nickname like the others thought he would be. "Wait sorry.. I should have asked, ugh am I allowed to call you that?" he asked
"Yeha,..yeah it's fine" Kurt said smiling reassuringly at Jeff, Blaine could tell he didn't mind the nickname. Blaine knew Kurt was still upset, but that smile was so convincing, it surprised him how quickly he was able to cover up his feelings...it concerned Blaine . But that's besides the point
"We have to get to class.." he said quietly, and stood up
"Yeah, we have music with Mr Brown next!" Nick said happily.
"Who's Mr Brown?" kurt asked confused
"Oh, it's actually the guy who was just here, the one who got rid of the hunter," Blaine explained.
"Oh okay…" kurt nodded
"We still have ten minutes left in science, Miss just wanted us to come get you guys. Now let's go!" Nick said, taking Jeff's hand in his.
