Alice just wanted to sleep for the whole day. Seeing her papa gain was the best thing to happen in her life, she really missed him because after what her mama told her, she thought that her papa was not going to be back for her.
Her mama carried her as soon as they were at the corner. Alice waved goodbye at Mr. Hummel, and Mr. Hummel waved back. Many of her classmates were already gone, their papas and mamas probably took them home too. She saw Aaron with his papa and waved goodbye to him as well. It was so nice to have her mama back because Alice missed her. She wasn't always nice, but you have to love your mama always and forever. Even though being with her mama was nice, Alice couldn't help but wonder where her papa was. "Mama?" Alice asked, looking around the playground where a lot of kids were playing.
"Yes?" Julia replied, a slight tang present in her voice.
"Where's papa?"
"Papa's gone." Julia said, not wavering at all. So far this was going right. Preparations still had to be made and on Friday, they'd be out of the city. "Papa's not here anymore."
"Why?" Alice couldn't help but ask. Why would her papa be gone? Papa always said he loves her, but why would he be gone?
"He doesn't love you anymore." Julia said, putting Alice in the booster seat in the front of Jessie's car.
"No! Papa loves me!" Alice screamed as Julia shut the door in front of the child.
"Now listen you little brat, Blaine isn't here anymore. So you better shut up because I'm in charge now."
Now, she was in this strange room of weird things. Her papa was reading a weird book with numbers. The book was big. Alice tried carrying it once, but she failed to do so. It fell on the floor of her papa's table and almost hit her foot. Her stomach grumbled, casing her papa to look at her with a smile.
"Don't worry, Kurt will be back with some food for you." Blaine said, looking up from the Algebra book. He still had a class to teach, and since he missed a few days, he had to get back to planning what to do and how to get the class back on track.
"Who's Kurt?" Alice asked. She didn't know anyone named Kurt. It was weird, because her papa smiled when he said the name. Papa only smiled like that when he used Alice's name and maybe sometimes papa's mama.
"Mr. Hummel's first name is Kurt!" Blaine explained with a hint of excitement. He looked down from the table and tussled her hair. "Like I am Mr. Anderson, but my name is Blaine. And you're Ms. Anderson and your name is Alice!"
"Oh!" Alice sat back at the realization. She knew that Mr. Hummel had a name, but she just didn't know what it was.
Kurt walked into McDonalds, not really knowing what to get, mainly because this was the first time in years that he went inside a fast food restaurant. He didn't even want to go to McDonalds, but Blaine insisted that he get a happy meal for Alice. He stopped at the back of the line and waited for his turn. Seriously, don't these people know how bad these things were? He groaned at the thought of actually eating one of those burgers. Once asked, Kurt opted for the healthier choice for a food item, chicken nuggets. No way was Alice eating a greasy burger on his watch. At least the apple dippers were still present. He turned around, after giving his order, putting his credit card back in his wallet. "Oh, I'm sorry." Kurt said when he felt that he bumped into someone. He knelt down to grab the fallen wallet, but before he could get it, a hand shot down and took it.
"Here you go uh" The man said, taking a good look at Kurt's ID inside. "Kurt."
"Thank you," Kurt replied, going to the back of the line as he waited for his order.
After ordering, the man Kurt bumped into leaned on the wall next to him. "Hi, I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm Gilbert." He said, extending his hand out at Kurt. Kurt didn't really pay attention. He was more focused on what the man was wearing, because this guy had fashion sense. Sure it wasn't like up to par with Kurt's but the guy knew well enough to accentuate his slightly slanted deep brown eyes and jet black hair. The man retracted his hand, seeing that Kurt didn't really want to shake. "So uh what are you doing at a McDonalds? You seem like the one who avoids food like these."
"Speak for yourself, with a body like that, I'm surprised you don't repel fast food." Gilbert laughed at Kurt's comment. It wasn't until after that Kurt realized what he said. "Oh, wait I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that."
"Oh it's okay." He gave a smile chuckling a little bit. "It's not for me, it's for my brother. Let's just say I'm the little errand boy, haha."
"Tell me about it." Kurt said half-jokingly, patting Gilbert's shoulder.
"Happy meal Chicken nuggets!" A woman from behind the counter yelled out, causing Kurt to turn his head.
"Well, that's me!" He approached the counter and took the box. Gilbert was still standing near the wall, so Kurt found it appropriate to approach him. "It was nice to meet you Gilbert." Kurt bowed his head a little before heading back to the hospital.
"Uh, Alexis? I thought we were going to work on our project." A boy said as he went inside an unknown residence. He wasn't even sure about going to somebody else's house. He has never been in someone else's house before.
"Oh come on Yani, relax a little bit!" Yani entered the house, sitting on the couch with a boy he had never met before. Alexis ruffled the boy's hair and made a beeline for another room.
"Hi, I'm Calvin." The boy said, extending a hand out. "Make yourself at home, just don't make a mess, my mom will kill you."
"This is your house?"
"Yeah." Yani turned his head, looking around at the decorations that were present. It was nice, not that he would know, he's not really an expert in these things.
There was a TV, but something like that was expected in every house. He pressed his hand into the couch and noticed how soft it was. He looked out at the window and saw a car. It was a regular old house. He looked around a little bit more and noticed the littlest of things. There was a small tear in the paint behind one of the corners of the shelf, probably there after the piece of furniture was moved. Also there was a fly somewhere in the house, taking refuge from the soon to be cold October air. "Uh, Alexis, when are we going to start the report?"
Alexis called over from the kitchen, making herself a sandwich out of the refrigerator that wasn't even hers. "Would you stop that! It's not due 'til next week the 26th! We have uh… 1,2,3" Alexis counted, using her fingers as guides. "10 days!"
"So Alexis dragged you here huh?" Calvin said fixing his tussled hair, brushing it to a perfect coif even though no gel or hairspray was used.
"Yeah." Yani said, smiling a little bit, avoiding eye contact.
"Yeah she does that a lot, like this one time she…"
"Calvin! Would you hurry up?" Alexis yelled from the top of the hill. Calvin was really second guessing going along with her on this one, but whatever. "It's almost closing!"
"Seriously, if I had known we'd be running, I wouldn't have worn these boots."
"Oh and I'm the girl."
"Shut up." Calvin looked around, his hands on his knees. "Where'd Sam go?"
"She'll catch up come on!" Alexis took hold of Calvin's hand and pulled him. Calvin refused, trying to pull back.
"No, please I'm tired, and I'm sweating already. You go ahead, I'll wait for Sam."
"Fine." The girl walked off with a huff and turned a corner. Calvin didn't even know where they were or what the blonde wanted so badly that he and Sam had to come along with her. A few seconds later, Sam came up from the building, looking tired, but not as tired as Calvin.
"Where'd she go?"
"Over there, come on, let's see what she's going on about."
"A duck… You had us running, for a duck." Calvin looked at the bird and looked at Alexis who had her face very close to the pet store window.
"But it's so cute!" The blonde kept pointing at the animal through the glass, smiling at the white bird.
"Come on Sam, let's go back and do something normal."
"Did she buy it?" Yani asked, his head still down.
"I have no idea, why do you ask?" He turned his head at the boy, slightly confused at why he would care that Alexis even bought the bird.
"Well." Yani pulled out his phone and showed Calvin a picture that got the boy off his feet.
"What are you guys talking about?" Alexis came back in the room, a plate of four sandwiches in her hand, her mouth somewhat full with the sandwich she bit.
"That time you made us run to the pet store for a duck." Sam answered, peeking up from the book she was reading.
"It was cute! Shut up." She said halr-heartedly plopping down to the couch right in between Calvin and Yani. She noticed that Calvin had a phone out, so she took it from him, like always. The picture on the phone surprised her to say the least. She looked at Yani, then back at the phone then back to Yani. "You have a pet duck?" In the photo, the boy held a yellow duckling with splotches of black all over. It was the cutest thing Alexis had ever seen!
"Yeah I did. That was before my family came here though."
"Oh! It's adorable!"
Calvin smiled, at least now she had someone to share her crazy duck obsession with.
"Yay! Chicken Nuggets!" Alice bounced on the bed once she opened the happy meal box Kurt offered her. Kurt stood next to Blaine, who had an Algebra book next to him.
"So how is she?"
"She's fine, the doctor said we could take her home by morning tomorrow."
"We?" Kurt asked, hoping that Blaine would get where he's coming from.
Blaine simply looked at Kurt with pure wonder. We? What the heck did that mean? Obviously it meant something if Kurt was asking him that question with that look of expectation on his face. And then it hit him. "Oh! uh yeah, sorry about that. I didn't want to impose really, it's just that." Blaine didn't want to admit, but he grew fond of Kurt being there, even if it had only been for three days. Sometimes it's like he just wanted Kurt to be there with him. Blaine thought to himself, he didn't really want to admit that, but sometimes that's just how he felt. He looked up at Kurt, hoping that his silence wasn't uncomfortable for him.
"It's fine, don't worry about it, okay?" And with that Kurt left the room.
