A/N: Hi,
I again forgot to put some main characters for this story…, but I still got two reviews, that's pretty awesome.
Thank you to those who've reviewed and I hope you keep liking this story even though this was written pretty late and probably isn't that good… just know that the sweet Klaine moments will start after this chapter…

Kurt didn't actually think about it a lot. He needed more experience to get into NYADA. At least to have some more chance to get in. He performed in some of the restaurants here in Lima, but no one ever really listened to what he got to say or what he's doing on the stage. There is never an audience who really helps him and gives him a standing ovation.
No one except for Burt and Carole at least.
And as much as Kurt loves them, he really needed someone's opinion who wasn't his father or stepmother. Or one of his friends.
For months he's been thinking about finding a job to earn money and travel to the other side of the world. Maybe people will listen there, but there are a few difficulties. One of them being school and another one being the job part in his plan. He's only seventeen years old and still a student at McKinley. He can only work a few hours a week and he won't make much money like that.
When he saw the advertisement about an exchange program he tore it from the wall without any hesitation. The Philippines are pretty much on the other side of the world and he would definitely meet new people. At first was his father was not as enthusiastic as Kurt though.
Burt, Carole, Finn and Kurt where all sitting in the living room, eating their dinner. They decided to do it the easy way today, because they were in kind of a hurry. The family was visiting Carole's mom tonight and even though they planned to eat a little bit earlier, they still only had half an hour left before they had to leave.
Carole, Burt and Kurt were sitting on the couch and Finn was next to them on a chair. It was always like this when they were watching a movie together before they went to bed. And it's now, when they are eating.
"Dad?" Kurt asked for his father's attention as soon as he was done with eating. The piece of paper, the advertisement, that he'd placed in his pocket was now firmly in his hands.
"Yes kiddo?"
"Could you sign this?" Kurt looked at his father hopefully as he pushed the piece of paper in Burt's hands. When he saw the advertisement about an exchange program this afternoon he didn't really know what his father was going to think. He hoped that his father signed it and that Kurt could go, but Kurt wasn't sure if it was going to be that easy.
And he was right.
"What's this?" Burt asked as he read the paper. "Exchange program with the Philippines? The participants will stay on the other side of the world for 14 days. Different family and different country." He looked up and locked eyes with his son. "You want to do this?"
"Uhm… yeah"
Burt continued reading.
"Everything will be paid by the school. There is only one condition. You have to write an assay and hand it in before July 12th 2013 and you'll have to present this to the school." Kurt nodded his head. He'd read that before, but he didn't care about that. He can embarrass himself another time in front of the whole school, at least if that means that he can go to the Philippines and meet new people. And he won't see most of the students of McKinley after his senior again either way, except for his friends of course.
"Why do you want this?"
Kurt prepared this.
"I want to get into NYADA and I need more experience for that. I need to meet more people to have more chance to get in. I know I have some sort of talent,"
"A lot" Kurt immediately raised his finger to tell his father not to interrupt him.
"…but there are more talented people out there and I really want to make it in New York. We don't have much money and I was thinking to go find a job and pay for a flight to somewhere in the states, but I'm very busy with studying and school."
"If you go to the Philippines you won't be able to study too." Kurt had almost forgotten that Burt and he weren't the only one in the room, but there was Carole asking him the question he was expecting to be asked.
"I know, but I'll study harder when I'm home before and after the exchange. I'll do my best not to be behind on school work, but I know that this will be really helpful for me. I can people show my talent. People who don't know the real me. They don't have any prejudiced about me yet."
"I don't know Kurt."
"Please, dad? I'll be fine." Kurt wasn't someone who begged for things, but this was something he really, really wanted. He was willing to do a lot for this, but he didn't want to break his father's trust.
"Just promise me you'll text me every day." And of course Kurt was going to do that. Kurt stood up and wrapped his arms around his father happily and Burt returned the movement.
"Thank you!"
And Kurt didn't even know back then that his whole life was about to change.
"Did you pack everything?"
The whole family was already at the airport, ready to say their goodbyes to Kurt. Of course he will be back in two weeks, but that is still a pretty long time.
"Yes dad" Kurt answered and he couldn't even be annoyed anymore. He was so god damn excited.
"See you in two weeks!" Burt, Finn and Carole all said and this was the moment for Kurt to leave and get on that plane and go to the Philippines.
Yes he was nervous.
What if the family he has to stay don't like him? Or what if there was some mistake and there isn't a place for him to stay?
He should just relax.
Everything will be fine.
And better.
Blaine was exhausted. He only finished another school day a few minutes ago and he followed like a millions school clubs. He joined the glee club and hero club for fun and for himself, but those others; the football club and the homework club or that one for lawyers or something. He all did that for his parents. And he didn't really have a reason to complain. If he was really that exhausted he could always quit the glee club or the hero club. It's not like he has to follow that from his parents.
But school was over and he was back home. Ready to start his homework and maybe go swim in the backyard, but that wasn't the case.
"Mom! Dad! I'm back!"
"Blaine? Sweetie? Can you come to the living room for a minute?" Ms. Anderson shouted through the house and Blaine obeyed immediately. His parents never really want to talk to him or want him to come to the living room. The only time he really is in that room it's to eat and he normally does that in his own room too.
He got rid of his coat and walked to the living room, also leaving his back behind somewhere in the hallway.
"What's going on?" Blaine asked as he found both of his parents sitting on the couch, in between the two adults was some space left.
They didn't want him to sit there, right?
Blaine's father pointed to the place and turned out he was supposed to sit there. Blaine slowly walked to the spot and awkwardly sat down on the couch in between his parents.
"Well…" Blaine said quietly as he waited until his parents were going to say what the hell is going on.
"We signed you up for an exchange program." Simple as that.
"What? Why?" Blaine asked hurriedly. Exchange program. That means someone comes to his house, Blaine's parent will never like that, but he also has to go to a strangers house.
Blaine doesn't like strangers.
Blaine watched how his parents silently exchanged looks, but didn't say anything himself.
"We need the house for our own next month and we couldn't really kick you out because the cops are already on our heels."
His parents are kicking him out.
Maybe only for two weeks, but still.
There wasn't a lot to say or do. His parents had already figured this all out and had planned everything. And when his parents have a plan, there is no way Blaine can make it stop. Even when he really wants to make it stop and to go upstairs and do his homework and go to the swimming pool like planned, but making plans isn't possible in Blaine's life. He has known that for a while now.
It wasn't much later when the bell rang.
"Don't take it too personal, sweetie. You go open the door. Be nice and don't give him any trouble." Blaine nodded his head and walked to the door.
Don't take it too personal. Ha. How can he not do that?
Blaine stopped in front of the door and opened it in one simple swing. A boy with bags was standing in the door way and Blaine couldn't help but look the other boy up and down.
"Hi. I'm Kurt Hummel."
A/N: Thank you for reading the second chapter… I'm still not 100% sure if I'm really gonna finish this… let me know what you thought in a review?!
