Only Human

Chapter 2

We arrived all too quickly. I sat there a minute, trying to gain my baring, while feeling Blaine's eyes on me at the same time. Am I really ready for this? Is it a good idea attending the same school as my brother? Why wouldn't it be? Will I be seen as a freak here too? So many questions were going through my head it was beginning to make me feel a bit dizzy.

"Hey, you okay? Katie?" I turned my head at the sound of my brother saying my name.

"Yeah, I guess. I think the nerves are finally setting in." I replied.

"If you're sure. Look, I know this can be a scary place. I still remember my first day here and yes, it was scary. But you have an advantage that I didn't."

"And what's that? I'm not sure having my big brother at my school is what I would call an advantage."

"Well, yes I'm here, but also the entire glee club. I know you say you aren't going to involve yourself, and that's your choice, but just know that because you are my sister, that makes you family to them too. We will always have your back. With that said, it's also important that you let me or one of them know if there is a problem otherwise we will have no way of knowing that you need assistance. Deal?" He asked while holding out his pinky.

"Deal," I said as we connected our pinkies. "I need to get my backpack out of the backseat and test before heading in. You don't have to wait, I can lock up the car if you want to get in and try to find Kurt."

"That's alright, I'll wait. Besides, don't want you getting lost to your first class," he replied with a smirk. While he was talking, I was taking care of business, pricking my finger and all that goes along with it. 90. That's strange, it should have been quite a bit higher than that by now. I looked down at my insulin pump, checking the settings. It's only set to deliver 1 unit per hour. I hope I'm not having an off day, that would just be the icing on the cake. I decreased my delivery amount to 0.5 units per hour. That should do it.

"Hey, everything alright?" my brother asked, eyebrows already furrowed in a worried expression.

"Yeah, just running a little on the low side today, just had to reset my pump. Don't worry, I know that look all too well. I'll be fine. I have my cell, I will text or call you if I need to, okay?"

"Alright. Shall we head in?"

"Now or never, right? I guess it would have to be now as I'm pretty sure never is not an option." With that said, we headed towards the entrance of the school. Blaine already had his class schedule and knew where his classes were. I was supposed to receive mine in homeroom this morning. Blaine showed me where my homeroom would be before we set out to our lockers. Ours just happened to be conveniently located close to each other. I heard whispers around me, and when I looked up from my locker I saw Kurt, Blaine's boyfriend, approaching us.

"Morning, Blaine." Kurt greeted my brother. "Hey Katie, welcome to McKinley. Are you excited?" he asked.

"Honestly, I'm more excited for what's to take place after school. Still working out the nerves right now. How was your weekend? I didn't see you much around the house."

"Ah, well the weekend went slow because I wasn't at your house. Dad needed some extra help at the shop and I had lots of planning for my outfits this week. Couldn't have Mr. Handsome over there distracting me," he stated with a smile. I looked over at Blaine and noticed him blushing. How cute, he's still so head over heels for Kurt, the littlest things still make him blush.

"I see how it is. Blaine can be rather distracting, I mean with a goofy face as his, how could you not become distracted." I smirked.

"Hey! What I do to you, sis?"
