"Kurt... There's something I need to tell you..."

Kurt furrowed his eyebrows. "What is it?"

Alex bit her lip... "I... I haven't exactly been telling you the truth..." she looked up at Kurt. "I'm not... I'm not a guy." she whispered.

Kurt furrowed his eyebrows and his mouth hung open. "What?"

"I-I'm a girl... But please just let me-"

"What the HELL! Don't you think this sis something you should tell someone before enrolling on am ALL BOYS SCHOOL! Why did you come here, huh? Was it so you could prey on confused teenage boys? So you could get yourself a new boyfriend? Is that why you walked out before we kissed? So that you wouldn't be discovered!"

"Please Kurt, it's not like that!" she had tears falling down her face.

"Then explain! EXPLAIN to me why you lied to me... To EVERONE!"

"I WOULD IF YOU'D JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE!" she snapped. Kurt fell silent.

Alex breathed deeply. She hated telling anybody about what happened. It meant reliving it in her mind over and over...

"I've never felt comfortable in my own body... So I acted like someone I'm not. I never feel complete... It's like I'm missing something, and I'm just searching... Of course, I got taunted at my old school for it. Getting shoved against the lockers, thrown in dumpsters, people calling me names... I was used to being harassed... One day... These three-" her voice began to break. "Neanderthals... Followed me on my way home. They tackled me and dragged me into a nearby woods. They-they said," she was sobbing uncontrollably now. "They said that if I wasn't going to act like a girl, they'd make a woman out of me... And one by one..." she looked down and whispered "They raped me."

"Oh my God..." Kurt brought a hand up to his mouth in shock.

"That's not all... A few weeks later, I found out that I was pregnant... There was hardly any evidence except for the baby... But we ended up losing the trial because... Halfway through the trial... I miscarried. The baby was gone, it was the only chance of justice we had... They got off the hook. I couldn't go back to that school. I transferred to Westerville High... Then to Lima High... But everywhere I went, I'd get called a slut and a whore... My boyfriend- he was my best friend, too -broke up with me because he believed the rumors rather than his own girlfriend... I would have gone to Crawford County Day, but they don't have a zero-harassment policy like you do here. The Headmaster was sympathetic, thankfully, and allowed me to be an exception."

Kurt had been crying from hearing the horrible things she'd gone through. "God... Alex... I'm so sorry... I-"

"It's ok, Kurt. You didn't know, you had every right to be angry."

Kurt shook his head and hugged her. "No," he sniffed. "I didn't I'm so sorry and I feel horrible."

They spent the rest of the afternoon sobbing into each others shoulders.

The next day, the Warblers were all sitting in their normal seats when the council members spoke up.

"Fellow Warblers," began Wes. "We would like to try a new strategy for next weeks Regionals competition."

There was excited chatter scattered throughout the room. "We would like to change our 11:00 number... Into a duet." continued Thad.

The excited chatter ceased.

"Any nominations?" asked David.

Nick was the first to raise his hand. "I nominate Kurt and Blaine!"

"Wait, what?" questioned Kurt.

"I second!" cried Jeff.

"Third!" shouted Trent.

"Fourth!" exclaimed Alex.

"Fifth!"

"Sixth!"

"Seventh!"

There wasn't a single Warbler besides Kurt and Blaine who was opposed to the idea. "That settles it," said Wes. "Kurt, Blaine. You will be our featured duo at Regionals." He banged his gavel and the Warblers began filing out the door, with the exception of Kurt and Blaine.

"What the hell just happened?" asked Blaine.

"I think the Warblers just forced us to do a duet for Regionals..."

The room was filled with an awkward silence for a few minutes before Kurt finally grabbed his things and walked out the door, not even bothering to look back.

Alex sat in the library rereading "Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire" at a table in the corner when out of nowhere, the empty seat next to her suddenly became occupied.

"Hey there," said Sebastian.

Alex looked at him, gave him a glare, then returned to her book.

He scooted closer to her and slung his arm around her shoulder. She tensed. "What do you WANT, Sebastian."

He leaned on and whispered in her ear. "You..."

She stood up and ripped herself from his grasp. "Get the fuck away from me. You have no right to touch me!"

Sebastian stood up next to her. "Oh, I-I'm sorry..." Alex was incredibly surprised to hear genuine sorrow in his voice. "I-I didn't mean to upset you... It's just that..." he looked down at his shoes. "You're really cute..."

A smile tugged at her lips. There was something really cute about the way he was blushing. But she stopped herself. "Aren't you going out with Blaine?"

"Well, sort of..."

"What does "sort of" mean?" she raised an eyebrow.

He sighed. "We're not really dating." Her eyes went wide. This was great news for Kurt. "I suggested that we pretend to date so that he could get your boyfriend jealous."

"I don't have a boyfriend."

He furrowed his eyebrows. "Well, then who was that guy you were walking down the hallway with the other day?"

She rolled her eyes. "He's just my friend."

"So does that mean you're available."

She held her fore finger up and shook it from side to side. "I'm not dating anybody, but I actually like to get to know people a little bit before anybody makes a move."

"I don't know how to do that... Usually we just make out and I learn their names later." She rolled her eyes. "But... I'm willing to give it a shot. Does that mean I have a chance with you?"

She smirked as she walked out the door. "It might."
