Chapter 7: The Third Day

The next morning, Mercedes met Kurt at his locker. "So, I heard about your performance today."

Kurt shut his locker with a bang. "Who told you?"

"I did." Sam said, as he walked by.

"So," Mercedes said, clapping her hands. "What are you doing?"

"Nope, not telling." Kurt said, shaking his head.

Mercedes pouted. "But Kurt... I'm your best friend."

"You wouldn't tell me what you were doing." Kurt pointed out.

Mercedes looked at him funnily. "What is it with you today? You seem, different."

Kurt sighed, before pulling her into a side alcove. "If I tell you, you can't tell anyone, all right?" Mercedes nodded. "Last night, Blaine and I may have gone farther in our relationship." Kurt said, biting his lip.

Mercedes gasped. "Kurt Hummel, did you and Blaine have sex?"

"Shh." Kurt shhed her and looked around frantically to make sure no one heard. "No, not yet. But we did some stuff."

Mercedes smiled at him. "I'm really happy for you Kurt. You deserve this. Do you love him?"

Kurt nodded. "I do. I told him last night."

"So," Mercedes said, linking her arm with his. "Are you going to tell me what you are doing at rehearsal?"

Kurt chuckled. "Nice try Cedes. But you aren't getting anything out of me."

Mercedes pouted and unlinked their arms. "You're no fun. But, do you want to do a duet together for this week?"

Kurt smiled sadly at her. "I'm sorry Cedes, but I already told Rachel I would do a duet with her."

Mercedes waved it off. "It's fine. I'll talk to you later, I have to go to class."

"What was that about?" Blaine asked, as the two headed towards class.

"Cedes was trying to find out what we are doing at rehearsal today." Kurt explained. "I didn't tell her anything though, not for her lack of trying."

"You miss them, don't you?" Blaine said, watching Kurt look at Mercedes with longing.

Kurt nodded. "I do, I always will. But this week has made me realize that there are a lot of things about McKinley that I hated. I'll be able to see my friends, but I don't want to go through this just in order to see them any day."

Blaine smiled at his boyfriend. "I'm glad you chose the way you did. And not just so I get you all to myself." He teased.

Kurt smiled. "I think the other guys at Dalton would think the same."

The New Directions smiled sadly from around the corner. They already had a feeling they had lost Kurt, but this cemented the fact.

That afternoon, Mr. Schue walked into rehearsal. "So, the guys have asked to go first. Boys when you are ready."

The boys assembled in front of the room, and the music started.

Puck:
Friday night, nothin' on
And now I got all of my friends tryna call my phone
And I'm feelin' like I wanna get in my zone
So let me know, let me know, let me know if the party's on

Sam:
'Cause your friend's daddy got a real big house
Real big house, real big house
Heard they gone away, we can all hang out
All hang out 'til Monday
My friend Artie got a real fast car
Real fast car, real fast car
Won't take long 'cause it ain't that far, ain't that far

Sam and New Direction Boys:
All we want, is a little place that we can
All have fun, and I swear I won't break a thing
All we want, is a little place where we can dance
I know you understand
Let me know it's on and I'll bring my friends
I can introduce them to all your friends
If they get along, we can all be friends
Or I could come alone, just me, you, on our own

Blaine:
And I know they look like they get up to no good
But they ain't nothin' but a lot of fun once you get to know
And I can cook, yeah, you won't even have to do a thing
Tell me what you wanna drink and I'll bring a couple things along

New Directions Boys:
Oh, oh, oh, my friends are your friends
Oh, oh, oh, and I swear I won't break a thing
Oh, oh, oh, my friends are your friends

Kurt and Sam:
Let me know it's on and I'll bring my friends
I can introduce them to all your friends
If they get along, we can all be friends
Or I could come alone, just me, you, on our own

The group broke in applause, as the boys sat back down.

"That was amazing." Mr. Schue told them. "Who would like to go next?"

Rachel raised her hand. "Kurt and I would like to."

"Okay, Rachel and Kurt, take it away." Mr. Schue said, sitting back.

Rachel:
Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are going to be friends
I can tell that we are going to be friends

Kurt:
Walk with me, Rachel Berry
Through the park and by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound
Safely walk to school without a sound

Rachel and Kurt:
Here we are, no one else
We walked to school all by ourselves
There's dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now it's time to learn
We clean up and now it's time to learn

Rachel:
Numbers, letters, learn to spell
Nouns, and books, and show and tell
Playtime, we will throw the ball
Back to class, through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
Teacher marks our height against the wall

Kurt:
And we don't notice any time pass
We don't notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
Teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes the way you sing

Rachel:
Tonight I'll dream, while I'm in bed
When silly thoughts go through my head
About the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow, I'll bet
That you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are going to be friends

Both:
Yes, I can tell that we are going to be friends

The group broke into applause, as Kurt and Rachel finished, and Mr. Schue smiled at them. "That was amazing you two. Who wants to go next?"

Santana stood up. "Brittany and I would like to go next."

Mr. Schue nodded. "Take it away, girls."

Santana:
Should I try to hide
The way I feel inside
My heart, for you?
Would you say that you
Would try to love me too?
In your mind
Could you ever be
Really close to me?
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
Could be certain, then
I would say the things
I want to say tonight

Brittany:
But 'till I can see
That you'd really care for me
I will dream
That someday you'll be
Really close to me
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
Could be certain, then
I would say the things
I want to say tonight

Both:
But 'till I can see
That you'd really care for me
I'll keep trying to hide
The way I feel inside

The group applauded as Santana and Brittany returned to their seats. "That was wonderful." Mr. Schue told them. "We only have time for one more performance today, so who would like to go next?"

"We would, Mr. Schue." Tina said, surprising everyone as she and Mike stepped foreword.

Mr. Schue looked surprised, but nodded. "Okay."

Mike:
She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my

Mike and Tina:
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I
Oh my my my my

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my

Tina:
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside till the morning light
Oh my my my my

Mike:
A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee

Mike and Tina:
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
You said I do and I did too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I

Both:
I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, oh my my my

The group applauded and Mr. Schue smiled at the young couple. "That was lovely. Now, everyone get in your places for Just the Way You Are."

Kurt and Blaine left rehearsal later, their hands swinging in between one another. "That was amazing Kurt." Blaine told his boyfriend. "I loved Rachel and your's duet."

Kurt smirked. "Well, we just are that amazing, aren't we?"

Neither boys noticed the hulking form of David Karofsky, lurking around the corner and smiling sinisterly, while watching them, his eyes alighting on the retreating form of Kurt.
