Pathetic Love (Klaine)

Ch.4

Kurt could not believe his luck. It was half past 8 o clock and he was going to be late for school. In fact his brother was going to make him late for school. And he was never late for school which seemed to piss him off even more. The boy was so clumsy and had no idea what was going on through his thick head sometimes- it wasn't that he was worried about being late for his classes- it was far from that actually.

He was rather worried his best friends would be pissed at him for arriving late to meet them. It was the traditional, every Monday after a week they would all meet each other to walk into the school together.

At the beginning Kurt didn't care it at all. He arrived whenever he wanted to, particularly by himself his brother taking his precious time following him. His brother was technically his almost step-brother. There parents were engaged. And then pretty soon they'd all move into a different new house. Kurt was less than excited. He loved his brother but sometimes he drove him nuts- but he guessed that's what siblings usually did.

"Finn! Hurry up- we cannot be late." Kurt called from the bottom of the stairs. His uniform firmly pressed on his body just like always. He ironed it everyday.

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Finn hollered back trudging up the stairs. "You gotta give me some time jeez-"

"I'm sorry I just need to meet the girls, and I don't want to be late."

"Yeah yeah- whatever." Finn huffed obviously not wanting to hear his brothers problems. Kurt just rolled his eyes and headed out the door towards his vehicle parked in the front. Finn jumped into the passenger seat, as Kurt got into the drivers.

"I won't be going straight home after school so you'll have to find another ride." Kurt explained turning left down the street towards McKinley high.

"Okay." Finn nodded. "I'll have one of the guys take me home. I have football practice anyway."

"Perfect." Kurt smiled as he pulled into his regular parking spot. Finn took off to catch up with his buddies while Kurt stayed back. He fixed his hair and then headed out the door catching up to his girls.

"Quinn. Santana." He greeted.

"Kurt." Quinn answered. "Where were you? What took you so long?"

"I had to wait for my idiot brother- god he takes forever- I don't even know what you see in him." He replied rolling his eyes.

Quinn flushed a light pink but chose to ignore him anyway. Ever since the summer time Quinn and his brother had been having some sort of fling or whatever. Kurt didn't really pay much attention but knew that whatever was going on between them was getting to be annoying.

"Hey, wheres Brittany?" Kurt suddenly asked realizing the other blonde wasn't there.

"She said something about talking to her cat or some shit." Santana shrugged as they stepped into the school.

Kurt rolled her eyes. "She has an iq of a dolphin I swear. I don't see what you see in her."

Santana pushed his shoulder. "Don't be a bitch just because you aren't getting laid or some shit. Your day will come."

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Whatever. I need to get to class."

"Yeah yeah-" Santana called behind him. "Don't forget about cheer practice or else Coach Sue will have your head Hummel."

"Yeah I know!" He called back turning around a corner and disappearing.

Kurt wasn't sure why he even bothered hanging out with them, but since he was on the cheerleading team they had befriended him. And though Kurt didn't really want any friends he figured he had to get used to them at some point so he just decided to tolerate them.

Kurt frowned noticing the whispers happening around him. He scowled glaring at them. He really hoped it wasn't about him because otherwise he'd probably lose it on one of them. He had been there before and didn't want to go back anytime soon. All the students either rushed into the classroom ahead of him or scurried off somewhere else.

By the time lunch time rolled around Kurt was ready to go home and sleep all day long. Except he still had two more classes and cheer practice to get through. It was four months into the new school year and Kurt was a little scared to graduate from high school this year.

It was the dream he had always imagined. Graduating and leaving this town and never looking back, but he knew it would be to good too be true so he tried not to get his hopes up knowing his father wouldn't be able to afford it even if he wanted to.

"Woah- what's got your panties in a twist?" Santana said, as Kurt plopped himself down in front of her at the cafeteria. His tray dropping onto the table in front of him.

"I'm just so tired and I just wish I could be asleep. But I'm not." Kurt took a bite of his apple chewing on it.

"Drink some caffeine or something, you need to be awake or else Coach is going to have your ass and she won't be happy!"

"I know I know." Kurt huffed tossing his apple into the garbage once he'd finished it. "I'll have a coffee or water before I go to practice."

Quinn nodded her head. "Good."

Kurt glanced around the cafeteria eyeing up people when they stared at there table for to long.

"Okay seriously what the hell is everyone staring at me for?" Kurt finally asked staring at the teen girls in front of him. "Because all's I hear is whispers and it's bugging me."

Santana laughed. Like actually laughed which made Kurt angrier. He gave her the best bitch glare he could give, Santana actually dropped laughing.

"Fine. There's talk about a new kid coming or whatever." Santana shrugged.

"Oh." Kurt frowned. That wouldn't be so bad. "Well then why's everyone staring at me?"

"Because supposedly the guy is some bad ass and plays for your team." Quinn piped in shrugging with a grin.

Kurt rolled his eyes. "People infuriate me." He glanced back at his plate suddenly uninterested in eating anything. "God people need to stay out of each other's business."

"Tell me about it." Santana muttered under her breath- just low enough that neither Quinn or Kurt could hear her.

"What the hell are you guys doing? You call that a statue. You- stop holding her like that she's not fragile- and Hummel pick up your strength before you kill everyone here." Coach Sylvester shouted from the sideways. "And Lopez have you put on some weight? Pick yourself back up and lose it. We can't have our team looking like that for regionals!"

Kurt could feel the tears prickling at his eyes but chose to fight them off because strong people don't cry. Especially in front of Sue Sylvester. She was there cheerleading coach. A awful person with a cold soul but she was good at her job which made everyone put up with her. The cheer team has won regionals three years in a row. And nationals twice as soon as Sue came in power. So everyone had to be nice to her. Otherwise your life would be hell.

A little bit boring chapter but I needed to get a bit of Kurt and what he was like before anything could progress.
