A/N: Hi everyone! Again thank you for the reviews! I hope you all like this chapter, I do. It's kind of short though, sorry about that. Oh, and I finally have some inspiration for a Blaine pov chapter! It should be chapter seven or eight. Anywho, if you like it let me know! Enjoy! (and I apologize for anything misspelled or grammatically incorrect.)

Chapter Five, 'The New Girl'

"I tried to warn you." Rachel said later on that afternoon at the coffee shop Blaine and I usually went to.

I sighed and just stared at my coffee cup. "And I appreciate it, but a little earlier next time would be great."

Rachel patted my arm comfortingly. "I can't make any promises. Anyway... what happened exactly?

I fingered my sleeve as I thought back to earlier in the day.

When Blaine uttered 'New Girlfriend' I felt a smile plaster its self to my face and I found myself nodding.

"Yeah, I know April. We take voice together, Mezzo Soprano, right?" I was blabbering.

April nodded, her red curls springing around her head. "Yeah, I'm also in this class, I sit in the back."

I had never noticed her in the class, but then, to be honest, I didn't really notice much besides Blaine.

"Yeah, and she's got an empty seat next to her so I'm going to sit back there with her today. Oh, and I have to cancel coffee after class, April and I are shopping."

I could feel my fake smile fading away. "Oh... okay.. no problem." But I did have a problem. What in hell was going on? He tries to kiss me on Friday and then on Wednesday he has a girlfriend? What was that about?! I had to know and that's why I decided to finally gather up my courage and take Rachel's advice and just ask him.

As soon as class was over I semi-stalked Blaine out of the classroom and into the hall. "Hey, Blaine, can I talk to you for a minute?" My voice was higher then usual and it sounded as if I had just run around the entire campus and back and my heart was beating so loud it was the only thing I could hear.

"Sure, one second." Blaine had April pause in the hall and then he walked over to me. "What's up, Kurt?"

Courage, Kurt, courage, I told myself. "What's going on?"

"With what?"

"With us!"

"What's wrong with us?"

Okay, maybe I should change my tactics. "Blaine, it's about last Friday night..."

"What about it?"

"You know! When you tried to.. when you..."

Blaine was looking at me so blankly that I almost would have believed he had no clue what I was talking about if it wasn't for the way he was absently adjusting his bow tie. I knew by now that that was a sign he was nervous. He did it whenever we had a random in class test.

"To what, Kurt?"

So he was deliberately pretending it hadn't happened! Fine. "Never mind, sorry to bother you." I turned on my heels and left briskly.

"And now I'm here, with you." I said to Rachel. "Did he say anything about Friday when you talked to him last?"

She shook her head. "No."

I sighed and rubbed my temple. We just sat there in silence as we finished our drinks. Then, after what felt like five minutes Rachel lifted her head with a gleam in her eyes. I observed her warily.

"Rachel..."

"Kurt, I have an idea. Give Blaine a taste of his own medicine."

"How...?" I asked, still cautious.

"Make him jealous."

"Jealous?... How?"

"Find someone who will pretend to be in a relationship with you. I bet it would drive Blaine mad and then I'm sure he'll want to talk about his feelings then!"

"Oh, and I can't see this plan back-firing at all."

"Come on! Then you'll have to make it realistic... oh and with someone he knows, then it will hurt more!"

"Oh, like who?"

We both sat there, thinking, looking around the coffee shop at people until my gaze passed over Rachel. And then it came back and stayed on her.

"Rachel." I said her named slowly as sudden brilliance chanced upon me.

"Yes?"

"It should be someone he knows very well."

"Agreed."

"Almost like his best friend."

"Yeah!"

"Rachel."

"Yes?"

"Will you be my fake girlfriend?"

Her mouth fell open slightly. "What?!"

"We both agreed it had to be someone already close to him, someone who would hurt him more, and who is closer to him than you? Plus, he knows I'm gay, do you realize how much of a mind warp that would give him?

Plus, I know this, 'make him jealous', thing is more for you than me, really. Protest all you want, Rachel Berry. But you want him to feel the way you feel every time he ditches you for another April... even other mes."

I couldn't believe that I had said all that to her. Now she was looking at me, speechless. Kurt, you went too far with this one, I thought to myself. Finally, when she didn't answer, I spoke.

"Rachel, I-"

"Yes."

"Yes?"

"I'll be your fake girlfriend. When do we begin?"

The key to a fake relationship is authenticity. Rachel and I spent the rest of the afternoon planning out our fake relationship.

"So, who asked who?" Rachel inquired. "And when?"

"And when do we tell Blaine?" I asked. "I asked you. Before Friday. Wednesday-when I called you."

Rachel laughed and nodded. "Yes. And let's tell him Friday. We'll go out for dinner. No April."

"No April. And we didn't tell him earlier because..."

"Because no one wants to hear their friends just got together because of you when you have no one."

"Right."

This was fun, making up a fake relationship with Rachel. I enjoyed watching her eyes light up if she had a good idea, and scribble it down in her notebook. She possessed all the good attributes of Blaine. If I wasn't gay I would ask her out for real.

I haven't known her very long, but besides Blaine she was the only other real friend I've made in New York. She was being so nice, trying to help me with Blaine, the only thing I could think of to repay her was to find her a guy of her own. One that wasn't gay.

"Is something wrong?" Rachel asked self cautiously.

That's when I realized that I has been staring at her for a while. "No, you're perfect." I said sincerely.

Rachel grinned and flicked her hair back mock seductive like. "Well you're not too bad yourself hot stuff."

I rose my eyebrows at her and chuckled. "Hot stuff?"

She shrugged. "Too much for you? How about my Boo? Kurtie-Poo? Oh, I know! Sweet lips!"

I just continued to laugh at her. "Sounds great my little RasBerry! RachelPie. Oh-Berry BooBoo!"

We sat there for a while longer, answering more questions we thought Blaine would ask, all the while still making up the most ridiculous names for each other. Soon Rachel said she had to leave to get ready for a night class.

"See you later, my Kurtmuffin." She teased as she gave me a half hug.

I twisted in my seat to shake my head at her. "Oh, no."

She just laughed and waved goodbye. I waved back and then settled back into my chair.

A waitress came by then to clear away Rachel's things. "I hope this isn't too creeper sounding, but you and you're girlfriend are adorable together."

"Oh, but she's no-" I stopped and finally, just smiled. "Thanks.
