AN: Inspired by lyrics from "Defying Gravity" from Wicked. Just a little insight into Kurt's thought process before confronting Karofsky.
Kurt stared briefly at the phone Karofsky had just knocked out of his hand. He was really getting sick of this. Sick of Karofsky calling him names, pushing him into lockers and no one bothering to do a thing about it. Around him students stared in disbelief but didn't even bother to ask if he was okay.
"Or you can refuse to be the victim."*
Blaine had said those words to him over coffee at Dalton, after the Warblers had caught him spying. As he didn't think his Dad could come up with tuition for Dalton, refusing to be the victim was really his only option at this point.
With a rush of bravery and self-confidence he didn't know he had, Kurt turned and hurried after Karofsky. He was going to stand up to the bully here and now. Show Karofsky that he wasn't going to take the treatment passively. He caught just a glimpse of the other teen's letterman jacket going into the boy's locker room. Not long after, Kurt was pushing his own way through the door.
"What is your problem?"* Kurt asked, quickly closing the distance between him and Karofsky who was standing by his locker. He was through playing by Karofsky's rules. It was time he set some rules of his own.
