Kurt followed the principal into his office getting a confused look from the person waiting outside. Kurt noticed he looked fairly nervous when he looked at him but did not think much about it. He kept a straight face as he entered and sat in the seat that Mr Figgins offered him. He sat there watching him as he had not said a word since he walked in. They sat in an uncomfortable silence for many minutes before he opened his mouth.
"Mister Hummel, I want you to answer truthfully in what I'm about to ask you. Do you understand?"
"Yes Sir."
"Where did you go after you left Miss Pillsbury's room?" He asked sternly.
"I went-" Kurt began to say before being interrupted.
"If you're going to say you went back to your class, I know for a fact that you didn't, so don't lie."
"Sorry Sir I was going to say I went into the rehearsal room as I had been dismissed from the class and had been told what to study for today's lesson."
"Well that's fine. As long as you were still in the school it is fine. I have one more question before I can dismiss you."
"Okay?" Kurt asked with a slight hint of worry.
"Have you seen a pair of suspicious looking twins? Miss Pillsbury mentioned it after you left." Kurt had to fight back his smile as he knew exactly who he was talking about but he could not let him know. He could not react in any way except possibly confused. He pretended to look slightly confused but thoughtful as though he was thinking it over.
"Sorry Sir, I don't think I have." He lied in the best way he could. He watched Figgins to see that he had believed him but the man was a little slow and gullible at times. He nodded and wrote a note saying that the reason Kurt was late for class was that the Principal wanted to talk to him. Kurt left as soon as he had the note trying to hide the smile that was creeping on his face. He was corrupted by those boys at Windsor. Not in a million years would Kurt have thought he would be in this position where he has lied about what he was doing to his peers that had respected him. He really was a Windsor boy at heart.
Walking down the hallway to get to his class, he was pulled from behind down into another hallway. Once again Kurt was face to face with the mischievous twins that had certainly made McKinley a different place from when he left it last year. He did not need to ask where they were taking him as there no point. They could do whatever they liked whether people disagreed or not. They were silently passing classroom after classroom trying not to get caught by anyone when Kurt realised where they were taking him. The auditorium; the place where all of their pranks had begun. He was about to ask why when his eyes were covered as well as his mouth. He sighed as this was very similar to his kidnapping earlier in the day that the Principal did not seem to know about.
He heard the door open and he was pushed through very carefully being guided around certain place within the room. Kurt did not understand this as it was a flat surface from the door that they entered in. Seconds later he was able to see again to see what they had done. There was one huge banner that said:
WE'LL MISS YOU ALICE!
WINDSOR WILL NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU!
He was surprised that there was not anything else within the room, especially since they had covered his eyes which made him think there was a lot more to see. He saw that on the banner that everyone had signed it even Charlie, the former Windsor Prefect. It was obviously done a while back as there were other signatures from the other houses including Logan, Julian and Derek.
"This was what we were meant to show you earlier before White Rabbit took you away." Ethan said amongst the silence. Kurt was still fascinated with the banner. It looked like it was professionally done and not something that a group of boys could create but then he remembered Reed and he could believe that he was in charge of this. Although he wondered how he could have hidden this from him as they shared a room where all of his art supplies were. He would not have used the schools own supplies unless his own was short, which was a rarity.
"You better get back to class little Alice." Evan said from the other side of him.
"And we'll carry on with our plan. We haven't got much time left."
"Time to do what?" Kurt asked sceptically.
"You'll see." The two of them chimed.
"You need to stop saying that, the two of you. It does not bring any comfort whatsoever." Kurt stated as he left the auditorium. He could hear the two of them laughing in the distance as he continued to his class. He went in getting a disapproving look from the teacher but as soon as he gave him the note, it disappeared and was dismissed to his seat with a slight nod. In the room were many jocks that were still in their paint stained clothes, red dyed arms and legs, blue and yellow faces and white hair. People surrounding them were still giggling at them behind their backs and Kurt thought it was a nice change for once for them to be laughed at by the student body and be highly embarrassed.
The class was not that particularly interesting until the very few moments as the twins, dressed up to hide themselves but Kurt knew who they were, came storming into the class and started throwing water balloons at the jocks then running away before the teacher could even react. They must have trained to be ninjas or something Kurt thought to himself as he watched the incident. They gave him a not so hidden wave as they left and Kurt just laughed it off as he pretended to be looking at the jocks that were now soaking wet. They look even more ridiculous to the point that the teacher was finding it difficult to contain his laughter when he addressed them.
"I- I think that you all should- change into dryer clothes if- if you have any." He ended with a cough. He turned to face the window and gave out a small chuckle that was just audible to the class. As soon as the bell had went to signal the end of school the jocks were the first people out of the class, so that gave the teacher the chance to let out the laugh that he had been holding in to show some respect to them. The rest of the class were already in hysterics and it was echoed into the hallways as it seemed that it had happened in other classes, not just Kurt's. Pupils everywhere were laughing while jocks were running trying to get to their lockers and change before more people saw them.
In the hallway that Kurt was walking down he saw Karofsky rummaging through his with anger present in his movements. The other jock that was not that far away from Karofsky was acting the same way. "Oi Dave!" The jock shouted over but continued to look in his locker. "Are your clothes missing?"
"Yeah," Karofsky grunted. "Have yours been replaced with anything else?"
"Yeah, some people really think they're having a laugh aren't they?" The other jock replied as he pulled out his 'replacement' at the same time as Karofsky. Kurt understood instantly why they were pissed off. It was a bright pink top with the words "LAUGH AT ME" handwritten on it in big black letters on the front and back.
"Hey, they are so your colours!" A passing student said to them both laughing.
"Yeah, why aren't yous wearing them?" Said another, laughing as well. Kurt had decided to stop and watch just for the enjoyment of their embarrassment; however low that might sound Kurt did not care at that moment. He watched from the side lines to see them both go red at the face underneath all the paint work and to see that it had struck a blow to Karofsky. Kurt did feel a little bit sympathetic towards him but he was not going to fully forgive him so a little bit of payback was enjoyable to watch.
"Shut up! Dave let's go to the changing rooms and-" At that moment other jocks were coming out of the hallway that led to the changing rooms wearing the same pink tops. "What are you guys doing? We're going to the changing rooms to get clothes there so we don't need to wear those things."
"These are also in the lockers there. There's no getting away from them." One of them said looking defeated. As students went pass, they listened to the tops and laughed as they carried on their ways. "Just put them on or go out soaking wet. Your choice mate." The jock said as he left trying to quickly get out of the building to his car. With a lot of hesitation, Karofsky and the other jock put on the tops whilst getting laughed at. Kurt decided this was the moment to walk past with a small smile on his face and look at them both with no pity on them.
He carried on walking until he was outside into the car park to see that the twins' antics had continued. On some of the cars there was red and white paint on the bonnets and roofs that was beginning to stick to them due to the heat. Many of the jocks were shouting in confusion and frustration. Kurt looked towards his car to see all of the Windsors waiting for him. He walked over to them but continued to watch the reactions of the people around him. "It seems as though you two have done some great work here, although I was expecting some bigger things. Knowing how bad yous can be." Kurt teased as he approached them. Blaine was instantly at his side sliding his arm around Kurt's waist.
"Alice, you have no idea!" Ethan started to complain with his brother joining in.
"We had fireworks and everything planned!"
"But we couldn't get any on time!"
"Plus we knew you wouldn't be too happy with us!"
"And we couldn't have that!" They said at the same time as they grabbed Kurt into a tight hug. Kurt rolled his eyes as everyone else just laughed.
"We have one last thing if you have time?" Blaine asked.
"Yes of course. Just let me say bye to Mercedes and tell Finn." Kurt said as he spotted them across the parking lot talking casually with the rest of New Directions. He saw that Santana was annoyed at something Rachel said whilst Brittany was talking to Finn who looked confused at what she had said.
"We'll see you there Alice!" Evan shouted as he and his twin ran to their car that had suddenly appeared.
"Please don't take long!"
After Kurt said his goodbyes to New Directions and told Finn that he was going with Blaine. They headed back to his car with Blaine. "Where's your car?" He asked noticing that only his own car was left in its parking space.
"Shane is driving it. It's giving him some time with Reed alone." Blaine replied. Kurt nodded in agreement knowing that the pair needed some alone time. He hoped that they were better from earlier on as it was weird to see them almost separate unlike a team. Kurt changed the subject to keep things cheery.
"So where are we going?"
"Somewhere where we know a lot but I want to take one slight detour before we go there." Blaine teased, giving Kurt a small wink as he opened the door to the passenger's side.
"You're just as bad as the twins you know that?" Kurt laughed. Being a master at coming up with decrypting messages must be a Windsor thing they all share. Kurt got into the driver's seat and pulled out of the car park. It certainly was an interesting first day back at McKinley.

AN: I'll start off saying that the next chapter will be the last. Thank you if you have read this far and been here since the beginning all those months ago when I did update every few days. Thank you for taking the time to read this. In the last chapter this note will probably be long as I'll just ramble on and on so you can ignore that if you even read it :') I've had the epilogue planned for over a month now and I feel that's when this went downhill in my head.
Once again I'm thank you and I hope this hasn't been bad to read and wait for updates!
