Author Note: Hey everyone, and sorry I haven't updated in a long time. I also just realized that I made a mistake earlier. I thought that there was a time change between Ohio and Boston. Updates will be coming more slowly from now until the summer, because along with trying to keep my grades up, I am also doing 3 sports. But I promise to update as much as I can. I still don't own anything but the OC's, but I wish I did, especially after all of the new episodes. Anyway, thanks again to all readers/ reviewers. This is...
Chapter 5: Monday
Monday morning, an alarm went off at seven o'clock. Kurt blearily rose, and headed into his bathroom to start getting ready for the day. Alan is up, and sitting quietly at his desk, rereading his chemistry notes yet again. A quiet "good morning" is passed between the two, and when Kurt gets back out of the shower, Alan tells him that breakfast is probably ready.
When they get to the cafeteria, Kurt notices that kids from different grades, clubs, and social groups all seem to sit peacefully, conversing softly with each other. There isn't a slushy machine in sight. Kurt thought it will be great not to have to worry about having to change clothes three times a day.He feels a pang of hunger in his stomach, so he chows down on oatmeal with fresh raspberries and blueberries. Just as he finishes, the 7:50 bell goes off, telling students to head to homeroom.
Break Line!
After a meeting with the whole junior class, Kurt knows that he will make friends. Everyone introduces themselves, and they're all very kind to Kurt. There are other cute guys, who are gay or bi, but Blaine's still the cutest. He notices Alan glancing nervously around the room, and the professor asks if there are any announcements. Current events are mentioned; upcoming trips and social events, and random news from home are all discussed. Dodge ball results are analyzed, and everyone agrees to switch teams up. Another bell rings just as the room silences, and everyone slides off to their next class.
Break Line!
After Chemistry, English, and a double period of History, Kurt returns to his room to study. He writes a response to his English teacher's prompt, writes his Chem. analysis, and when a pang of homesickness hits him, he decides to call Mercedes.
"Hey Mercy, how are you?" Kurt asked, lying back on his bed.
"Hey Kurt! I'm fine thank you. New Directions are doing well as we can- just as much drama as ever, of course. But anyways, I hope Dalton is going well. Met any cute guys yet?" Kurt's best friend replied.
"Well, actually... I did. His name's Blaine and he's gay as well. No worries like with Finn. He's really nice, and he's a great singer. He has curly hair, although he gels it all the time-"
As a bell rings in the background, Mercedes cuts him off with a quick, "Good for you. The bells ringing, so I got to go. Bye, love you!" Kurt sighed, and the lunch bell began to ring from the cafeteria. I wonder what deliciousness there will be today...
Break Line!
After delicious macaroni and cheese, Kurt headed to his afternoon classes. He had his first French class, and was surprised to find that he was not flying by. He could get along pretty well, though, and he enjoyed speaking only in French, which helped him absorb context and the grammar that McKinley never talked about. His teacher, who saw that he was struggling, offered him the option to just catch up with the work from then on, and forget about the beginning of the year. He was glad, as she was the only teacher to do that. All the others wanted some make-up work done, and he had literally 6 inches of paper sitting on his desk. It was going to take a long time.
The rest of the afternoon flew by in his Algebra class, Warblers practice, and a long tutoring session in Chemistry with Mrs. Harbinger. It was 8:30 by the time he had dinner. When Kurt opened the door to his and Alan's room, he saw quite the odd sight. Alan was curled up in the fetal position, crying his heart out. There was a pile of tissues next to him, and he hid something he was looking at just as Kurt walked in the door.
From being a part of New Directions, Kurt could tell that Alan didn't really need someone to ask what was wrong. He left Alan to himself, and sat down to do his homework. By the time he turned back around, Alan had fallen to sleep.
That would probably be a good thing for Kurt to do as well.
A/N: Still need more places for Kurt to visit, guys! Thanks again to my epic beta, RedVines 45! Seriously, this chapter needed lots of help. Writers Block, again. Along with tense issues, which are the bane of my existence. But, I have a surprise. If I get ten more reviews by the next time I post Chapter Six, there will be a special reader-submitted oneshot. So please, submit your ideas in a review!
