Well thank you for all the great reviews. You are all amazing, please keep them coming as they do motivate me.
Well here's Kurt's first day. I was going to try and fit in the audition but as you will see this chapter was getting a bit long so I'll post the audition tomorrow so you won't have to wait to long.

Kurt stood in front of the mirror frowning at the sight of himself in the Dalton uniform. Even though the navy with the red piping blazer suited him and his ass looked amazing the pants he couldn't help feeling like he'd lost some of his individuality.
Hunter sat on his bed looking at his cousin and laughing he knew Kurt was thinking of was of trying to make his uniform different from everyone else without breaking the school rules. He watch amused as Kurt tried adding a brooch and the an ornate tie pin, he listened to him curse when he couldn't make it work and re-read the rules for the tenth time hoping that suddenly that they'd changed.
Kurt settled for the brightest pair of socks he had, a handkerchief to his breast pocket and a decorative tie clip which he could hide under his blazer if he had to.
''Okay you finally ready to go yet? There's nothing more you can do, face it Pippin you'll just have to look like the rest of us for a little bit."
"Now you know Merry I'm never going to look like the rest of you, I'll find a way to make me different from the rest of you clones. At least as soon as class finishes I can get out of this and back into my own clothes."
"Sorry to burst your bubble cuz but you have to stay in uniform for Warbler practice and dinner." Hunter closed his eyes and waited.
"WWHAT, why would we have to do that, why? Who the hell cares if I wear this monstrosity or my own clothes out side of class? You know what I'm beginning to think I should have just two huge bodyguards to protect me at McKinley and have them kick my bullies asses so I wouldn't have to torture myself this way."
Hunter can't help but let out a snort of laughter, " Sshh, stop please...I can't breath."
"Hardy ha, you just carry on, laugh it up. Just because outside your fetish for uniforms you chose to dress like every other preppy, popped collar wearing boy in this school doesn't mean you get to enjoy my pain."
" I'm sorry, really I am but come on don't be so over dramatic. Your life will not end because you're not wearing Marc Versace or Gucci & Gabbana for a few hours."
Kurt's eyes flared, " You did not just mess up those designers names. How can I be related to you?"
"Okay, okay calm down I'm sorry. Can we please go meet Blaine and Sebastian and get some breakfast."
"Fine, but I don't see why we have to meet Sebastian."
Hunter started to head out of the room, "Because you're the better person remember and will not give him the satisfaction of knowing he annoys you."
Kurt started to follow Hunter, "Yeah that's easier said than done, he just gets to me and I don't know why and if you try to tell me once more that I'm attracted to him I'll forget I'm a pacifist and unleash years of pent-up aggression on you. So shut and take me to my coffee."
" Okay here's the plan we sit down and have breakfast and you my friend need to try being polite or bite your tongue a bit. You can't just suddenly be nice to him, he'll think your up to something."
" Blaine, I am up to something."
"Duh, I know that. I'm trying to help, you've been in Kurt's company twice and you've manage to piss him of twice so maybe you just might want to listen for once or I won't tell you what Hunter told me when I was hanging out with him yesterday evening. If it helps any, Kurt was a cheerleader and a kicker on the football team for a bit once, " Blaine turned to look at the door and saw Hunter and Kurt enter, " and there's video. Ssshhh, they're coming."
"Your getting way to confident with the sass Blaine."
"Well I finally realized that I'm not helping you by not saying anything, so I'm trying a new tactic in my quest to make Sebastian nicer."
"You watch way to much Lord of the Rings, talking about quests and shit."
"Yeah he'll be joining the Dungeons and Dragons club soon. Morning boys."
"If he did want to join it you two wouldn't have a problem with it, would you?" Kurt looked at Hunter and Sebastian as he sat down at the table.
"No of course not." Both boys chorused.
Kurt turned to Blaine, "I'll have to take you to meet Sam and Artie they love all that stuff you could link up on-line with them, only if your interested that is?"
"Yeah that would be great. I could bring James he'd love it. Thanks Kurt." Blaine smiled at Kurt
"So You and James are back together?" Sebastian asked in a quiet voice.
"We're talking at the moment and you never know..." Blaine looked across the dinning room to the guy Kurt assumed was James.
"Well Blaine if that's James," Kurt looked at Blaine who nodded, "I'd say it will happen he hasn't stopped staring at you since he came in."
"Okay Pippin how the hell do you do that? I was here and I didn't notice that."Hunter looked at his cousin.
"Hunter," Hunter turned and looked at Sebastian, "When you've gone through what Kurt did at his old school you learn how to keep yours eyes open without being caught and if I were to hazard a guess he could most likely tell you what they're talking about too."
Kurt sat there with his mouth slightly open just staring at Sebastian, "Don't look so shocked Princess I understand you more than you care to admit."
Kurt rolled his eyes, got up and left, "Sebastian, Why? You could have shown him you're not really such a dick but no you just can't help it can you?"
"Calm down Curly, For one I'm not going to be something I'm not and secondly If I was 'to nice' as you put it , he'd never give me a chance. So will you please have some faith in me."
The first part of Kurt's day went well. He enjoyed his classes, they posed more of a challenge than the classes at McKinley but that was not a problem for Kurt.
Kurt's Mom wasn't stupid, she knew even though she and Burt wanted Kurt to attend public school that the education was not of the same standard as the private schools her parents had put her and her brother in. She had still wanted Kurt to have the best so along with his music and dance classes she also tutored her son outside of school and when she had passed Burt made sure it continue by hiring tutors to continue what Kurt's Mom started.
Kurt smiled at the shock on the English teacher's face when he realized that Kurt was working above the level that he was teaching and would have to look at changing him to a different class. Kurt enjoyed the teacher who had just judged him and was now backtracking.
"Psst...Psst..." Kurt turned to face the boy to his right, who was smiling at him.
Kurt gave the boy a nervous smile, "Yes."
"You put old Jenkins in his place, I've never seen get him so flustered. He hates admitting he was wrong about something."
"Well he shouldn't be so quick to judge."
"Good for you, I'm Thad and you must be Hunter's new room-mate Kurt right?"
"That's right pleased to meet you Thad."
The next class's teacher was not like English the teacher in fact the complete opposite, "It's okay Mister Hummel, I just wanted to see what level you were working at. Your doing fine, in fact I think you'll fit into my class well.
Kurt smiled and went back to his work as a note was pushed towards him.
Hi new guy, I'm Jeff.
You must be Kurt, Hunter and Blaine's friend.
Welcome to Dalton. If you need any help just ask.
J
Kurt smiled at Jeff and mouthed 'Thank you.'
History came next the teacher was nice and as he settled in his seat toward the back of the class he saw Hunter and Blaine.
"How's it going Pippin?"
"Really good, English teacher was an ass. He must of only ever working in private schools so he was a bit of a snob about my public school education."
"No he's just a snob." Blaine chipped in.
"I met a guy named Thad in English and Jeff in Maths, both know you Hunter."
"Yeah they're Warblers too."
The after noon was much of the same for Kurt, with one except two out of his three classes contained Sebastian.
The teacher addressed the class in french, "Good afternoon class, I want you to welcome Kurt Hummel to the class."
The whole class spoke, "Good afternoon Miss Fisher, welcome Kurt."
"Now, let me see...," Miss Fisher looked at her class plan," Mr. Duval, if you move to sit down with Mr. Kane please."
Kurt looked around the class to see the boy the teacher addressed start to move, he caught sight of who sat next to the now empty chair.
"Mr. Hummel you can partner up with Mr. Smythe and Mr. Smythe please wipe the smirk from your face please. I met Mr. Hummel when he came to his interview and you now have someone who can keep up with you if not surpass you in the subject." Kurt looked at Sebastian and smiled.
"Mr. Hummel please take your seat and we shall continue with today's lesson."
Kurt moved to his seat and as he sat Sebastian whispered, "How'd you learn French, I didn't think they covered it in public school?"
"Well for your information they do actually cover some languages but if you must know my Mom taught me she loved France we spent some summers there when I was little. You really must try to remember that while I went to public school we weren't poor as you seem to have stereotyped public school kids."
"Sorry I didn't mean it the way it sounded," Kurt wasn't sure he heard correctly as Sebastian said so quietly.
The class soon passed and Kurt went to move on to the next one when a hand was held towards him, "Nicholas Duval but you can call me Nick."
Kurt shook his hand and smile, "Kurt Hummel please to meet you and you can call me Kurt."
"So I can't call you Pippin then?"
Kurt felt a surge of panic waft over him, "How do you know that name?"
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you. I was Hunter's room-mate for a while and he used to talk about you and I saw pictures of the two of you on his laptop, please don't tell him I was snooping." Nick was starting to panic now.
"It's okay Nicky, It's just Hunter and Pippi long stockings here want to keep the family connection on the quiet so Kurt can make a few friends that are not just friends because of Hunter. Nice socks by the way Kurt?" Sebastian walked pas the two and out of the door.
Nick turned back to look at Kurt, "Oh yeah I get it, cool your secrets safe with me. What class you got next?"
Kurt walked into his chem class and as before he introduced himself to the teacher.
"Attention class, this Kurt Hummel." There was a few mumblings from the other boys, "Right boys whose got room on their table for Kurt to join?"
"Mr. Gaines, Mr. Gaines," Kurt looked up to see Blaine hopping up and down in his seat waving his hand around in the air.
The teacher addressed Blaine, "Yes Mr. Anderson."
"Sebastian and I have room on our table sir. He can join us."
"Thank you Blaine. Kurt you can join Blaine and Sebastian."
Kurt thanked the teacher and joined the others.
As the class finished Kurt caught hold of Sebastian before he left, "Thank you for earlier," Sebastian looked confused for a moment, "The thing with Nick, just, thanks you didn't have to do that."
"Well Princess maybe I'm not as bad as the impression I gave you. Truce?" Sebastian held out his hand.
Kurt looked at Sebastian weighing up in his mind whether to give him a chance or not. Kurt made his decision, "Truce." And with that Kurt shook Sebastian's hand.
Kurt arrived at his last class before the teacher and as he entered two boys grabbed him and pulled him to the back of the room, "Hey get your goddamn hands of me."
Kurt knew this place was too good to be true. He braced himself for the words that would come along with the violence.
"SIMON, CHRISTIAN, GET YOUR HANDS OF HIM, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?"
"Come Hunter don't be like that we just wanted the new kid to sit with us so we could get to know him. If we didn't grab him you'd of hogged all to yourself."
Kurt brushed himself down, "You could of just ask me you know, you scared the shit out of me. I transferred here to get away from bullies so this wasn't the best way to say hello." Kurt push past them and walked over to Hunter.
Hunter placed his hand on Kurt's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "You okay Pippin?" Kurt nodded and sat down not facing the other three.
Hunter looked at the two boys and shook his head and then took the seat next to Kurt.
"They didn't mean to scare you. They didn't know about the bullying, if they did they would never have done that."
"I know. I'm just a bit shaken that's all. I'll talk to them later and smooth things out. I'm guessing their Warblers too right?"
"Yeah they are. You made an impressive impact among the boys with your rehearsal last night. I actually think you could sing 'I'm a little teapot' and you'd get in."
"I'll have to change the song now they've already heard it. I was going to sing..."
"Defying Gravity, I know and if I guess right you would have sung a certain line to a certain person as well."
"God am I that predictable? Well I can't do that now we've seem to have called a truce," Hunter looked at Kurt confused, "Long story short we got paired in French and he sort of apologized I think and then as we finished class and your old room-mate Nick introduced himself and asked if he could call me Pippin too. Sebastian step in when I got lost for words and got Nick to promise to keep the fact we're related quiet.
" Wow never thought I'd see the day and yeah you are predictable, just like Grandma said your both alike in some-ways. I say go for the heart-strings with your song choice, make them cry. You've got a couple of hours to spare ,the audition is not till after dinner and the bad news is it's an official Warblers meeting so uniform is the dress code for tonight I'm afraid." Hunter started laughing at the disgusted look on Kurt's face.
Don't forget to review. Love it hate it let me know. Always sorry for any mistakes and I hope they don't spoil it for you.
