AN: Inspired by lyrics from "Ticket Outta Loserville" by Son Of Dork


Walking toward his car on the last day of school, Kurt turned and looked back at the building he had just left for almost the last time. There was still the graduation ceremony, but for all intents and purposes, the last four years of his life had come to an end. There would be no more slushy facials or bullying in the hallways of the school. He would never again be tossed into the dumpsters of the school. He had survived all of that as well as the happy memories that had been formed here - his times with Glee, Blaine performing in the courtyard, Mr. Schuester's proposal.

All in all, he had to say the good outweighed the bad in the end. He had formed true friendships, gained a brother and found the love of his life. And with their win at Nationals the Glee Club had gone from the joke of the school to at least being recognized as National Champions even if they still weren't a popular club. At least they had all been able to hold their head up high these last couple of weeks. They were going out on top, and that's what mattered - not the hard times they had gone through to get there.

He may not have made it into NYADA, but he did know one thing - graduation meant nearing the end of his time here in Lima. He refused to be a Lima loser. Right now he had no clue how, but he was going to make it to New York City. He was going to find his dream. New Directions' win at Nationals was only his first taste of victory and Kurt was determined that it wouldn't be his last.

Turning once again, he closed the remaining distance to his Navigator. It was time to go home, have dinner with his family, and then come back here for the last time as a student. After tonight, he and his brother would be alumni and starting the journey of the rest of their lives.
