Chapter 8

Noah drops me off at Kurt's and I don't even bother saying goodbye because I'm still mad at him. I walk into Kurt's room and I groan as I plop down on my bed.

"What happened?" asks Kurt noticing my dramatic behavior, "I'm guessing you didn't kiss again."

I groan, "No, but he wanted to! I told him that I want to move slow, and that we weren't actually in a relationship, so I'm not going to just kiss him anytime he wants me to!"

Kurt looks at me oddly, "You are quite the oddity. It's obvious you like him, and yet you don't want to kiss him, may I ask what mental problem that you possess?"

"Kurt!" I smack his arm.

He shrugs, "If Finn wanted to kiss me, I'd agree in a heartbeat."

"That's because you're in love with him, I am not in love with Noah!" I retaliate.

Kurt snickers, "Noah? You call him Noah?"

I groan in aggravation, "You're missing the point!"

"I don't think that I am," said Kurt crossing his arms, "You like him, at the least, you like to call him something no one else does, a pet name if you will."

"Kurt," I say slowly, "His first name is Noah, technically speaking, if anything were to be a 'pet name' it would be Puck, not Noah."

Kurt shrugs, "Why don't you just date him and get it over with, or has he not asked you on a real date yet?"

I bite my lip, "Well, he did ask me to homecoming."

Kurt gasps, "What did you say?"

"I told him that we'd talk about it later." I look down, knowing that Kurt is going to reprimand me.

"ARE YOU MENTAL!" Kurt snaps, "Anytime, that there is an excuse for me to do your hair, you avoid it! You should say yes, and since you 'don't like him' going on a date will be reassurance for you."

I look at Kurt, "but I don't want to get involved with him, after everything that he has done to you-"

"Stop it right there," Kurt interrupts me, "That is between him and me; it has nothing to do with you."

"How can you say that? You're my best friend, of course it has to do with me." I say appalled.

"Just go to homecoming with him, you'll have fun, and you'll thank mw for this advice." Kurt orders me.

"But I don't want to go with him, he's a jerk, and he has quite a reputation." I confess my worries.

Kurt sighs, "Well, let's just say that he never looks at girls the way he looks at you."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I ask Kurt.

Kurt smirks, "It means that he wants you all to himself, exclusively."

I roll my eyes, "Not every guy is as sweet as you Kurt, too bad Finn's too dumb to see that."

"Finn isn't gay, we've talked about this, and don't change the subject go to homecoming with P-Noah." Kurt teases.

"If he asks me again, then I'll consider his offer," I compromise, but that isn't good enough for Kurt.

"Oh no," he shakes his head, "tomorrow morning you are going to march up to him and tell him that you are going to go to homecoming with him, and that you cannot wait until the dance."

"Sorry Kurt, but that is not going to happen, he just tried to randomly kiss me, and we're not even going out!" I snap hoping to get my point across.

Kurt raises his eyebrows, "You didn't seem to mind too much yesterday."

My jaw drops, "Kurt that was different, that was random but kind of spur of the moment, I'm letting him know that he can't just kiss me whenever he feels like it."

Kurt shrugs, "Well, I still think that you should take him up on his offer, but let's not talk about this anymore, let's watch Rent!"

I nod as Kurt puts in the DVD. In the middle of the movie, Kurt's "Single Ladies" ringtone goes off. Kurt looks quizzically at the phone, as he picks it up, "Hello . . . who is this . . . how did you get my number and why are you calling me . . . oh . . . oh . . . I'd love to, see you at school then. . . bye."

"Who was that," I ask teasingly.

"No one," Kurt blushes looking down at the floor.

"Was it Finn?" I ask hopefully.

Kurt shakes his head, "No it wasn't Finn, but I wasn't expecting it to be."

"Well then who was it?" I ask desperately wanting to know the answer to the question.

Kurt smirks, "If you go to homecoming, you'll see then."

My jaw drops, "Kurt you have a date?"

Kurt nods blushing fervently, "Yes, and you will too as of tomorrow, now can we please get back to Rent?"

I nod as we finish watching the musical.
