Chapter 2: The Journey
Kurt holds the tickets in his hand, wondering if he's really doing the right thing. Since the realization had sunken in, Kurt has been overtaken by a faint sense of dread.
What if no one likes me, and I have no friends?he thinks, and then remembers that he will have a good roommate, and will probably get to meet Blaine. He realizes that he doesn't know who his roommate will be, but he knows that they will get along. The 5-page roommate survey Dalton made him take had been sure of that. And if he didn't, he could request a transfer.
Kurt drops the tickets back onto his bed and begins folding clothes to put them into his suitcase, like he should have been the whole time. Dalton may have a strict uniform, which will be provided for him, but he will darn well bring along some fashionable clothes. Blazers never look good if you wear them for too long. Anyways, monotony is boring.
Break Line!
The drive to the Ohio airport seems so much longer then it should be. Burt made Kurt open his suitcase again to check that he had everything. If Kurt didn't have something, he could buy more in Boston.
Soon, a voice came over the loudspeaker,
"Flight 108 to Boston now boarding, all seats can now board."
Burt glances over to his son, and seeing the worry in his eyes, just gives him a hug. Then, arm in arm, they board the flight. The cool, conditioned plane air swoops over them, and slowly they find their seats.
They are lucky, their seats aren't overbooked, and the plane is ready for takeoff. So they sit down, Kurt takes out his Vogue, and slowly, they begin their journey to Boston.
Break Line!
The modulated voice of the captain says,
"We will be touching down in Boston as soon as the air strip is clear. It is four PM, and the temperature is a chilly 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Enjoy your stay!"
As the plane begins to descend, Kurt catches sight of the ocean. All he can think is, "This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen."
Break Line!
As Kurt Hummel steps off the plane, he sees a sign. It's red poster board, with navy blue letters, Dalton colors. The sign proclaims, "Welcome to Boston, Kurt Hummel!"
Burt taps Kurt on the shoulder, and says, "Looks like that's us, kiddo. Come on; let's meet your roommate and Mrs. Writh. They've been waiting for a while for the looks of it."
"Hey Kurt", the roommate calls, "Over here!" Mrs. Writh pats the boy on the shoulder, to tell him to quiet down. As Kurt gets within a comfortable handshake distance he extends his hand. Mrs. Writh shakes his hand, and tells him how glad she is to see him. Then he moves to his roommate.
Alan, as the boy calls himself, has an Irish accent that makes him somehow intriguing. It contrasts his milky skin and blue eyes perfectly. However, it is the way he hugs Kurt that makes Kurt decide that Alan isn't that bad of a guy.
However, he would look better without the blazer.
The air in Boston is cold, but comforting. It's moist, probably from being near the ocean, and immediately, Kurt begins to plan his new skin care routine around this.I'll need less moisturizer; maybe I can even downgrade the whole routine a bit.
Then he sees the car the four are taking from the airport to Dalton. It's just a minivan, nothing unusual about that. But it's navy blue, with red stripes. The hood even has a tie painted on. Wow, these people are obsessed with their uniforms.
A/N: I imagine Alan as being played by Damien McGinty from the Glee Project. If you like Chapter 2 of "The City on a Hill", review, favorite and alert! Constructive criticism is appreciated, but not flames. Thanks!
