After a few hours of orientation with Blaine showing Kurt all his classes, the cafeteria, the gym, and the theatre room, they finally went down to the dinning area for some dinner. Kurt had learned that Blaine was in his history class, Nick and Jeff were in French with him, and he had math with Wes.

"You'll be fine with classes since you have us and we'll show you how best to handle your professors. Don't stress too much." Blaine was explaining how the work load sometimes became unbearable but that Kurt wouldn't have to worry with Blaine and his friends helping him out.

"What classes are you taking then?" Kurt knew Blaine was pretty smart but Blaine's answer shocked him.

"I'm taking AP European History, AP Biology, Spanish III, Calculus, AP Literature, and playing lacrosse for my mandatory sport." Blaine smiled.

As they were finishing dinner, three boys showed up at their table grabbing chairs and settling down with their plates of food.

"Not to mention that you have straight-A, teacher's pet, Blaine as a neighbor to always give you his notes." Nick teased.

Blaine rolled his eyes at Nick and continued, "Really though Kurt, never be afraid to ask me for anything. I'm just a door away. Anyway, you've met Nick, this is Wes and Jeff."

Kurt said hello to the two other boys and the conversation soon ended up being about the Warblers. Wes turned to Kurt and started to explain the technicalities of the Warblers.

"Of course Kurt you need to join. We usually hold auditions to see who can sing but we already know you can sing so just say yes and you're in."

Kurt smiled, "I will of course love to join Wes."

After dinner, Blaine walked Kurt to his room before bidding him goodnight and good luck on his first day of classes.

Kurt awoke the next morning early enough to go through his checklist of items needed for the first day. Nick was laying half naked on his bed snoring loudly when his alarm went off and he scrambled out of bed.

"God I hate Mondays. New kid, how are you awake and ready already?"

Kurt laughed, "I'm just nervous and couldn't really sleep last night."

"You'll be fine. It's nothing scary, trust me. Blaine will help you out a lot. He seems to really like you."

Kurt felt his cheeks turn red and looked away from Nick as Nick undressed from his sweats to go take a shower.

"Blaine is a good friend. He seems to know what he's doing and everyone says he's the smartest."

Nick laughed, "Blaine is the smartest. He's like the most perfect student. I don't even understand how he has time for everything."

"What do you mean?" Kurt knew Blaine was a straight-A student and lead singer of the Warblers but wasn't Nick also a Warbler and straight-A student?

"I mean yeah, I get A's and sing but Blaine also does a bunch of extra stuff. He's Student President of the school, plays soccer with the school team, and he's in that stupid history club, Academic Decathlon, and he's a RA for the freshman which is why he gets to have a single room. Not to mention he knows like, how many languages? Three? I honestly think he's trying to compensate for people making fun of his sexuality or height or something."

Kurt wondered about this for a moment. He didn't know Blaine was so busy with so many things. How did Blaine have so much time to hang out with Kurt when he was at McKinley then? And how did Kurt not know all of this about Blaine? Now that they were at the same school, Kurt would get to know Blaine better. Now that he thought about it, they did talk about Kurt a lot of the time. The times that Kurt tried to get to know Blaine, all he got was information about the Warblers or soccer.

Nick returned from the shower and dressed in his blazer and slacks. Though Kurt had a crush on Blaine, he still couldn't help admiring Nick's body. He was snapped out of it when he heard a knock on his door.

There on the other side stood a sharply dressed Blaine with a cup of coffee in his hands.

"This is for you, first day of school good luck sort of thing." Blaine held out the cup for Kurt.

Kurt took the coffee, "Blaine, thank you! This is great. You remembered my coffee order!"

"Of course!" Blaine smirked.

"Okay you two, let's go, I don't need to be late on the first day." Nick rolled his eyes.

The three walked down the corridors to their classes. Nick and Kurt walked into French class and sat next to Jeff. Kurt was pleased to notice he was one of the only students to grasp the lecture as he was basically fluent in the language. They were told to pair off and tell stories in French in groups. Kurt was grabbed by Jeff and Nick who quickly stated that Kurt was going to be their tutor. Throughout the lecture, it was easy to see that Jeff was indeed into Nick although Nick was oblivious. Jeff laughed at everything Nick said and was quick to be interested in whatever the boy was talking about, even if Kurt found it to be dull or not funny at all. After the class was over, Kurt headed to Trig and was waved over by Wes to sit next to him. This class proved to be a lot more difficult. It was fast paced and the teacher was a boring old man who seemed incredibly disinterested in whatever he was talking about. There was no doubt that he was knowledgeable in the subject, however, he didn't seem to care if anyone else understood. Kurt was dreading this class. Math was always a tough subject and now that he was entering Trigonometry, Kurt was actually terrified he might not pass. Walking into AP Euro, Blaine had saved him a seat near the front and Kurt shyly slipped in.

"The professor for this class is supposed to be amazing! I'm actually really excited!"

"Blaine, only you would be this excited about history." Kurt teased.

Blaine rolled his eyes but smiled as he looked down at his notebook.

"Blaine!" a voice exclaimed.

Kurt and Blaine looked up to see a boy with his blazer in his arms, white dress shirt sleeves rolled up to show off his muscular arms, and disheveled hair smiling down at them. This boy was a spitting image of a 1980s version of Johnny Depp. Kurt looked over to Blaine to see the boy's face turn red and he actually fumbled with his words for once.

"Oh h-hey John. How's it going?"

"Well it's only the first day so the funs just about the start right? Looks like we've got history together, that'll be fun." The boy, John, took a seat on the other side of Blaine.

"I heard about what happened and I'm sorry about Trent." Blaine whispered.

"Don't be. You know I always had my sight set on someone else. Dave and I were never really going out. We only went on two dates." John smiled at Blaine who had returned to looking down at his notebook and blushing.

Kurt sat there staring at the two with a heavy heart. Of course Blaine had his eyes on someone else and of course this John guy was into Blaine. Kurt knew he needed to move on from his crush on Blaine. It obviously would never be reciprocated.

History seemed to drag on and on. Blaine was into the lecture and answered several questions but all Kurt could think about was this John character. Who was he? Why was he never mentioned? Why hadn't Blaine told Kurt that he liked someone else?

The bell finally announced that class was over and Kurt rushed out not looking back to see if Blaine was there or not. He just needed to go to his room and relax after this day.

"Kurt! Wake up!"

Kurt awoke from a nap he didn't remember taking to see Nick staring at him with Jeff on the other side of the room.

"W-what's going on" Kurt asked groggily as he tried to sit up on his bed.

"Sorry man. I would have let you keep sleeping but the dining hall is going to close in an hour so you wanna get dinner with us?"

"Um yeah sure. Let me change first, my clothes are all winkled."

"No time. You look fine babe." Nick grabbed his hand and Kurt saw Jeff look away awkwardly.

The three walked down to the dining hall to see Blaine sitting with Wes. They all settled down and just as Kurt sat opposite Blaine, he wished for nothing more than to go back to his room.

"Listen, I'm just saying, if you want to ask out John, you've got to be classy about it. You can't just blurt it out while your teachers talking about the Industrial Revolution!" Wes was explaining to Blaine.

Blaine blushed, "I know Wes! That's why I'm thinking we should serenade him. The Warbler's I mean. I can sing my emotions better than I can communicate them anyway. And I know John will say yes, he was all over me today in class. I think."

Kurt scoffed. Blaine turned to Kurt with a questioning look.

"Sorry, I meant to say he definitely likes you. I could tell." Nice save Kurt.

"There we have it. Just pick a song and I'll let the Warbler's know when to practice it." Wes spoke.

"Kurt, you've got a piece of string in your hair" Nick laughed as he scooted closer to Kurt to pick out the string.

"Oh damn. It's from my blanket. My mom made it for me when I was little but it's kind of old and falling apart now."

"That's so sweet. Why don't you ask her to fix it up?" Nick questioned.

Blaine's eyes widened. He knew the story of Kurt's mother and quickly reached out to take Kurt's hand in comfort only to be beaten by Nick. Blaine's stomach dropped at the sight.

"Sorry! I completely spaced. You told me about your mom before. I'm so sorry." Nick squeezed Kurt's hand.

"It's okay, it was a long time ago." Kurt explained to Wes and Jeff the story of his mother and how she died when he was eight years old. Kurt was leaning against Nick as Nick wrapped an arm around Kurt's shoulders.

Blaine's head has hurting. Kurt was talking about a really emotional part of his life and he should have been the one comforting him but instead Nick was holding Kurt. Why did this bother Blaine so much? And when had Kurt told Nick about his mother? Since when did they talk? Kurt was Blaine's friend, not Nick's. What was going on? So many questions flooded Blaine all at once but he was quickly nudged by Jeff who was looking at him with raised eyebrows. Blaine shook his head and continued to listen to Kurt explain all about how wonderful his mother was. Blaine wished he could have met her, she seemed like an amazing woman.

An hour later, the boys returned to their rooms. Blaine walked with Nick and Kurt to their rooms and felt something tug at his stomach when Nick and Kurt left him to walk into their own room alone. He shook his head and stepped into his room. Once again, Blaine was thankful he had a single room. He crawled into bed wondering about Kurt and what Kurt was doing and if he was talking to Nick. Why did it matter? Nick was Blaine's friend and any friend of Blaine's was a friend of Kurt's. Blaine wondered what Kurt thought of Nick. He knew Nick slept without a shirt and he was a pretty toned good looking guy. Did Kurt notice? Ugh, why did it matter!? Blaine tried to focus his thoughts on John. Yes, John. He was just being obsessed about John and transfixing it on Kurt and Nick. Everything was fine.
