Hey there! I just wanted to fill you guys in on what's going on. For those of you that read my first story 'McKinley' know that as I was writing that story, I was living in China teaching. Well, I'm actually going back next month! So, I'm doing everything I can possible to get this story finished before I leave because I don't know if I'll have access to the movie while I'm gone for that 4 1/2 months. But I'll let you know for sure before I leave. But while I'm packing my suitcase, my family is also moving while I'm gone so I also have to have my room completely packed up before I leave. So between packing for China, packing to move, and work, I'll do my best to update as much as possible. Luckily, my readers are the best in the entire world and will be there for me and with me no matter what. I truly love all of you. :) But I actually have a chapter for you so enjoy!

P.S. I haven't been doing disclaimers like at all. I own nothing! ;)

Kurt lost his breath and became speechless.

Blaine's once untameable curly hair was gelled down, causing his cheek bones to stick out more prominently. His glasses were replaced with contacts so as to his gorgeous hazel eyes better. His eyebrows were obviously waxed but still contained the triangular shape, thank god. His teeth were whited, clearly shown when Blaine smiled at him when the door opened. He was beautiful. Of course, Blaine was always beautiful but whatever happened to him caused his beauty to amplify by 10. Kurt had never seen anyone so stunning. Kurt tried to speak but he couldn't get anything out. All he could do was stare.

"Hey." Blaine whispered.

Kurt didn't respond and only stood there, staring down at Blaine.

"What?" Blaine smiled.

Everything sounded so distant that he barely heard Finn's voice next to him.

"Kurt, don't always think you can get a ride with us. Oy. Who destroyed you?" Finn said.

Destroyed? Blaine looked perfect. He always did.

"Oh. You think it looks that bad?" Blaine responded.

"You look ridiculous. You should sue."

"Well, um...I know that it's a little tamer and shorter and-"

"Weirder." Finn interrupted.

Kurt couldn't stand there and listen to Finn insult Blaine like that. Especially when Blaine looked incredible. He finally found his voice again.

"An attractive weirder." He said, following Finn into the car.

"No, it's not attractive. And what I really can't understand; you ditched me again yesterday when I really needed your help on the Green Peace petition." Finn bent down to grab what looked like to be Blaine's new backpack. "This bag! You have one of these bags? You know we could hock that and feed a whole Third World country." He turned to Kurt. "Am I right?"

"No." Kurt responded but mainly as a way to get Finn to shut up. Which clearly didn't work because he continued.

"I mean, you used to care more about what was inside your head instead of on it. Come on, Blaine. Fess up."

Kurt was looking out of the corner of his eye, trying to ignore Finn. But he could have sworn he saw Blaine wipe some tears away from his eyes. If that was the case, he was going to yell at Finn so much for making Blaine cry. And that was a promise.

"I don't know where you are these days and now you're turning into and A-crowd wannabe?" Finn continued. "You're morphing into one of them! And who knows? Next week you could be waving pom-poms in my face. You sold out!"

Kurt couldn't have told you anything else that Finn said the rest of the ride there. Finn was going on and on about things that were unnecessary and didn't make any sense. He wanted to know what was going through Carl's mind as he drove them to school and he didn't even want to look in the direction of Blaine. If he was crying after only a few minutes, he didn't want to know what he looked like after the whole way to school. He only finally zoned it when he noticed the car pulling over to their usual spot a block away from school. Kurt got out with Finn right behind him, and he glanced over to see Blaine and Carl talking and he heard Carl whisper, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

Kurt felt like it wasn't right to eavesdrop so he grabbed Finn by the arm and walked him to the street corner to wait for Blaine.

"Finn. Shut up."

"Why? He deserves everything I'm saying."

"For what? For getting his hair gelled? For getting contacts? You are making no sense."

"You know what? I don't really care what you think."

Kurt glanced up and saw Blaine walking towards them and pulling a hat out of his backpack.

"He has a hat." Finn continued. Kurt just rolled his eyes and looked down at his feet to avoid looking at Blaine. "Do you really think wearing that hat is going to keep people from seeing your new 'Hunter-do'? Just because the student population might be morally bankrupt but it doesn't mean they're blind."

"Finn!" Blaine screamed. "Just stop it, okay? Look just because you're hair sucks, get off mine!" He scolded, putting his hat on.

Kurt looked at Finn to see the shock on his face. He was resisting the urge not to laugh.

"Ouch. Thank you." He stepped forward to shake Blaine's hand and mentally facepalmed himself for shaking Blaine's hand! Not knowing what to do, he backed up after letting go of Blaine's hand and smiled going back next to Finn.

"Kurt, can you please pretend you have a life for just one moment?" Finn asked.

"Hey, relax. Breathe." Kurt took one more look to Blaine before walking away and playing his harmonica the rest of the way to school, still hating himself for SHAKING BLAINE'S HAND!


Blaine watched Kurt walk away and decided to follow. He mumbled under his breath as he walked by Finn.

"What did you just say to me?" He asked.

"You heard me. I am so sick of you ragging on me all the time and always telling me what to do. I get enough of that from my mother, and now my grandmother, and I don't need it from you!"

"I'm not an idiot. So I know that something's going on that you're not telling me. Friend's tell! So you know what? I'll go get your friendship necklace. I'll throw it in the dirt!" He turned to walk away.

"Don't do that okay, just ugh! Alright just, wait."

"Why?"

"I will tell you the truth but you're gonna think it's really stupid and you're gonna freak."

"Try me."


Kurt looked behind him and saw Finn and Blaine standing behind a tree and he noticed Blaine whispering something in Finn's ear. Whatever it was, Kurt hoped it meant they weren't fighting anymore. Because even though Kurt was mad at Finn, the two of them were best friends and he didn't want that to end over a stupid fight. He turned back around and continued walking.


"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Finn screamed.

"Is that all you can say?" Blaine asked.

"I'm sorry I was harsh and...I don't know what else there is to say. Will you come on my cable show?"

"No, I can't. This is a royal secret. You can't tell anyone. Not even Kurt. Especially not Kurt. You are sworn to secrecy."

"Oh, of course!"

They sealed the secret by doing their handshake they've had since they were kids and deciding they needed to do something less stupid and more teenage boy. They began walking the rest of the way to school.

"Are you really sure you can run a country? I mean, you can barely keep your goldfish alive for more than a couple of days."

"Well, Finn, I'm not really sure of anything right now."

"Listen, there are pros and cons of being a prince."

They continued their conversation privately until they reached the building and people could overhear.


Kurt didn't know how long Finn and Blaine were going to be so he decided to head off to class. He entered his first period, math and sat next to Rachel.

"Hi, Kurt."

"Hey, Rach."

"Is Finn out today? I was hoping to see him before school started."

"No, he's here. He's just with Blaine. They had an argument this morning and I think they're talking it out."

"An argument about what?"

"Uh..." Kurt didn't want to say. He knew that everyone would eventually figure out that Blaine obviously looked different but he didn't want to be the one to start spreading it. "I don't know really."

Rachel looked like she was going to respond but the teacher cut her off. Kurt was zoned out for the rest of class. He didn't even know what they went over because the only thing going through Kurt's mind was Blaine and how absolutely incredible Blaine looked today.


Blaine and Finn took their seats as Mr. Goolsby started to get the classes attention.

"Class has begun. Class has begun and I have a little surprise for you. Pop quiz. French Revolution."

"Oh, Mr. Goolsby?" He heard Hunter say from right behind him. "There's a school rule that says nobody's allowed to wear hats in class. And I don't think anybody should be an exception to that rule, do you?"

"No, Hunter. Blaine, I'm sorry, but hats are against the dress code."

Blaine closed his eyes and took a few moments to breathe. He knew Hunter, Jeff and Nick were all going to have something to say about his hair. He took a deep breathe and took the hat off and the response from the class was almost instantaneous.

"Look who's trying to fit in now." Hunter said.

"It's a wig, right?" Jeff chimed in.

"He looks like he got a head transplant." Nick finished.

There was hustle and bustle from all over the class and he couldn't hear most of it. He did hear a "I think it looks really great, Blaine" from his classmate, Quinn.

"Well, I think it rocks." Finn shouted, silencing the class. "And you know what? Voltaire. Hair. I would personally like to learn about Voltaire."

"Okay, Finn, okay." Mr. Goolsby laughed.

He started passing out the tests as Blaine turned to Finn and mouthed "Thank you" getting a "You're welcome" back from Finn.


When Kurt saw Finn and Blaine sitting next to each other at lunch, he knew they were going to be okay. He knew he still might scold Finn a little bit because of this morning but not nearly as much now that he took care of it. He was sitting at lunch with Rachel when he saw her staring longingly at Finn.

"You know, everyone knows you like him. And we all know he likes you. Why aren't you sitting over there with him?" Kurt asked Rachel.

"Because I'm playing hard to get. Men want what they can't have."

Kurt wasn't going to admit to her how true that statement was.

"Rachel, I've been under the impression that he already has you. You guys are together, right?"

"I...I don't know. Are we?"

"I thought you were. Clearly you need to take it up with him. I just assumed you wanted to be sitting with him."

"Speak for yourself, Kurt."

"What are you talking about?"

"Everyone knows how you feel about Blaine. How you can't stop staring at him. How you look so upset and pine after him after he leaves the area. How your voice gets softer whenever you talk about it. When you blush whenever his name is mentioned. Everyone can see it and everyone knows."

Kurt didn't know he was being that obvious.

"Well, actually, Rach. There is one person that doesn't know about it yet."

"Who?"

Kurt put his chin in his hands and stared longingly at Blaine as he laughed hysterically over something Finn said.

"Blaine."

And thus ends another chapter. Let me know what you thought! :) I need to know if you guys want longer chapters or if you would like me to stick with the length I've been at. I might be updating tomorrow. I don't work so I will definitely have the time. Like, I said, I'm going to do everything I can do get this done before I leave next month. Until next chapter! Peace and love! xoxo
