Prompt: Harry Potter - "I don't go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me." - 'Prisoner of Azkaban'
As I prepared dinner for Carole, Finn, Dad and me, I glanced over at the bag from the local party store. Though I couldn't see inside I knew what was in the bag - the cake topper to replace the one Karofsky had taken. Carole's friend, who was doing the cake, was stopping by later this evening to go over the details and as I had told Carole I would pick out a topper for the cake I had stopped on my way home. I wasn't about to chance the direction the conversation would go if I didn't have one. I didn't want to take a chance of them finding out about Karofsky's harassment. Although if Mr. Schue or Coach Sylvester called my parents about our meeting this afternoon it might come out anyway.
Turning my attention back to the meal prep, I couldn't help but wonder what I had ever done to deserve this kind of treatment. So, I like guys and didn't dress like anyone else in the school. Was that really hurting anyone? The only one I had ever been even slightly forward with due to an infatuation with them was Finn and he didn't completely hate me over it. Why couldn't Karofsky and the other jocks just leave me alone?
"Kurt, I'm home," my dad called as he came through the front door.
"In the kitchen," I called back.
It wasn't long before my father walked into the kitchen. "How was school today?"
"Fine," I replied quickly, not about to mention my troubles with Karofsky. Just because trouble had a tendency to follow me around didn't mean I was going to let it affect my dad. "We got a lot of work on the songs for the wedding during Glee rehearsal," I told him, picking a topic that I could talk about with enthusiasm no matter what mood I was in.
