CHAPTER VII : I KISSED A GIRL

For some reason, the Trouble Tones were in the choir room with us. No one knew why they were, all we did know is that it had something to do with Finn. Finn stood at the front of the classroom, writing something on the board at the front. He moved so we could read what he wrote, he had written 'Lady Music Week'. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, as did a lot of the class "Can someone tell us what's going on, please?" Mercedes asked, voicing everyone's thoughts "This week, the Trouble Tones and New Directions Will both be singing music created by ladies and for ladies" Finn explained and I nodded, understanding "Oh hell no," Santana said loudly "Next week, all of us will be going to Sectionals, and one of is probably gonna win. But, Santana, we're worried about you" Finn said, nicely "Worry about yourself, fetus face" Santana said scathingly "Glee's about learning how to accept yourself for who you are, no matter what other people think. And that's what this music is all about" Finn explained further "So, wait, I don't even get a say in this? Not cool" She said frustratedly "Everybody in this room knows about you and Brittany. And we don't judge you for it. We celebrate it because it's who you are. Look, I know not everybody outside of this room is as accepting and cool, but we're doing this assignment this week so that you know in this rotten, stinking mean world that you at least have a group of people who support your choice to be whoever you want to be. That's it. That's what we're doing here. Blaine? Kurt?" Finn said, gesturing to my boyfriend and best friend "Santana, Kurt and I have a song we like to sing together in the car. And we want to sing that for you right now" Blaine said, smiling warmly at Santana "While there's nothing I'd love more than having two Pretty Ponies serenade me, I think we'd get further staging a 'gel-ervention' for Blaine than singing lady music" Santana said sassily "I know it's hard. It was hard for me, too. But you can get through this" Kurt said, smiling softly "If you could just stop being so defensive-" "I'm trying, but your hideous bow ties are provoking me" "Wait, are we talking lady on lady or girl on girl? Cause there's a big difference" Puck asked, extremely inappropriately "Puck, focus, okay?" Mr. Schue said, scoffing at him "Kurt, Blaine; why don't you kick us off with what you got?"
Perfect — Pink (Sung By Blaine & Kurt)
"Thank you, guys. Thank you, Finn, especially. You know, with all the horrible crap I've been through in my life...now I get to add that" Santana said superciliously while clapping her hands sarcastically.

The next day in Glee, it was Puck's turn to sing and then mine after his but I had no idea how I was going to follow his performance.
I'm The Only One — Melissa Etheridge (Sung By Puck)
At first, I thought he was singing to Quinn, but then it became obvious he was singing to someone behind her. I looked behind Quinn and saw Ms. C, my eyes widened at the realization but I kept it to myself that was for you...Santana" He said, pointing his guitar at Ms. C, he quickly turned to face Santana though, when he remembered where he was "Yeah. I know I was just part of a phase, but whatever, happy to oblige, always" He said grossly. He earned himself another round of applause. Mr. Schue stood up and waved me to the front of the class "Next up is Naya" He said. I cleared my throat and smiled in what I hoped was a comforting way "Santana, I know we haven't always gotten along the best but I hope now we can try and get on better terms and you know, not give each other bruises and black eyes anymore" I said. She smiled. I lowered my hands and bit my lip. I turned to the band and nodded at them, telling them to start playing.
Girls — Girl In Red (Sung By Naya)
[Naya]
I've been hiding for so long
These feelings, they're not gone
Can I tell anyone?
Afraid of what they'll say
So l push them away
I'm acting so strange
They're so pretty, it hurts
I'm not talking bout boys, I'm talking
bout girls
They're so pretty with their button-up shirts
I shouldn't be feeling this
But it's too hard to resist
Soft skin and soft lips
I should be into this guy
But it's just a waste of time
He's really not my type
I know what I like
No, this is not a phase
Or a coming of age
This will never change
They're so pretty, it hurts
I'm not talking 'bout boys, I'm talking bout girls
They're so pretty with their button-up shirts
They're so pretty, it hurts
I'm not talking 'bout boys, I'm talking
bout girls
They're so pretty with their button-up shirts
'Cause I don't know what to do
It's not like I get to choose who I love
Who I love, who I love, who | love
They're so pretty, it hurts
I'm not talking 'bout boys, I'm talking
'bout girls
They're so pretty with their button-up shirts
And they're so pretty, it hurts
I'm not talking 'bout boys, I'm talking
'bout girls
They're so pretty, it hurts.
To my surprise after the song, Santana stood up and walked over to me. She raised her hand and for a second I thought she was going to slap me but instead, she pulled me into a hug "Surprisingly, your song is the only one I haven't hated so far" She said, pulling back slightly "Thank you?" I said confusedly which made her chuckle. She reached up and ruffled my hair "Your not too bad carrot-top, maybe we could be friends" She said before sitting back in her seat. I went and sat down beside Blaine, who discreetly gave me a high-five. Later that day, Finn sang to Santana.
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun — Cyndi Lauper (Sung By Finn)
At the end of the song, Santana stood up and grabbed Finn's arms "Thank you" She said quietly before Finn pulled her into a hug "We love you, Santana"

Back at my house, Blaine and I sat on my bed, doing homework. I shifted myself so I was propped up on my elbows and called Blaine's name quietly. He looked up from his Geography book and mimicked my position "Everything okay, Nay-Nay?" He asked and I smiled softly at the nickname "I just realized we never spoke about you coming out. I know it's the reason why you transferred to the Warbler school-" "Dalton" "Right, Dalton. But I just wanted to talk about it" Blaine hesitated for a moment, avoiding my eyes "Unless, you don't want to talk about it, which is fine" I quickly added "No—no, I—I do I just don't know how to start" He said. I quickly gathered up our books and put them on my desk. I then grabbed his hand and gently pulled him towards the head of the bed, gesturing for him to lie down. I wrapped my arms around him and pressed a kiss to his temple "Take your time, baby" I said quietly, running my hands through his hair, he usually washed the gel out of his hair when he got to mine, saying he felt more comfortable around me "At my old school, the one I went too before 'the Warbler school' as you so elegantly put it, there was a Sadie Hawkins dance. I had just come out as bisexual, and as far as I was aware all my friends were accepting of it. So, as I said, the Sadie Hawkins dance was coming up and I asked a friend of mine, the only other gay guy in the school—since I had like a massive crush on him" He took a deep breath, hesitating before continuing "While—while we were waiting for his dad to pick us up, um—um" Blaine's voice became choked up and I pressed another kiss to his head "It's okay, baby, take your time" I said soothingly, still running my hands through his hair "While we were waiting, three guys, came and well—they beat the living crap out of us. So, I moved schools" He said quietly. My breath caught in my throat and I sat up "I'm so sorry, I had no idea"' I said quickly "I'm out now, and proud, I was proud then to I just couldn't handle seeing those dudes every day, you know?" I nodded my head and laid back down next to him "You are the most extraordinary person I know, Blaine Anderson and I am insanely proud of you" I said, snuggling down next to him "You have no idea, how much that means to me" He said, leaning into me, his nose now brushing against mine. I smiled softly and reached my hand up, stroking my thumb across his face. He leaned in to kiss me and I kissed him back, holding him as close to me as possible.

The Student Council Elections had started, so, Blaine and I attended to keep Kurt calm. We stood with him as the guy with the afro—who I learned was Jacob Ben Israel—came over to us, shoving his camera in Kurt's face "Hey, one last interview before you lose" Jacob said, ignoring Finn's attempts to get him to leave "Hey, hey, hey, give it a break" Finn said protectively, pushing Jacob away. He finally left and Kurt buried his face in his hands, Rachel and I both wrapped our arms around him, hugging him comfortingly "God, I feel like a lamb waiting in line to be slaughtered" Kurt said, rubbing his eyes tiredly "Chin up, Kurt. It's not over till all the votes are counted" Finn said reassuringly "Yep, and you're going to get loads" I said, rubbing his arm comfortingly "Look, look, Quinn is going into the voting booth right now, She's going to vote for you" Rachel said hopefully. All the seniors took their turns voting, and I hoped they all voted for Kurt but I knew at least one of them 'cough' Santana 'cough' wasn't going to.

All the girls were in the halls, I was with Tina whilst the others were all separated but we all overheard a conversation between Santana and a douchebag "Saw the commercial. Whew, smokin'" "Who the hell are you?" "Josh Comen. Sophomore rugby captain. Girls like you are a challenge. You just need the right guy to straighten you out, and I'm just the man to do it" After that statement, we all subconsciously decided that was enough. We grouped and stood beside Santana "Move your busted creeper ass" Mercedes said menacingly "Now" Tina added sternly "Easy, girls. I'm just eyeing to make her normal" Josh said disgustingly "She is normal" Brittany said defensively "It's not a choice, idiot" Rachel said "And even if it weren't you'd be our last choice" Quinn added on at the end of Rachel's statement "Oh, I get it. You're all a bunch of lesbos" He retorted "So what if we are? You don't stand a chance either way" I said, crossing my arms "Bye, bye" "Walk away" We all said in unison, pushing the idiot away and waving sweetly.
I Kissed A Girl — Katy Perry (Sung By Santana & The New Directions Girls)
By the end of the song, we had ended up in the choir room, singing in front of all the boys. We ended with a massive round of applause. I chuckled and pulled the girl closest to me into a hug—it just so happened to be Rachel "Okay, okay. Update y'all. Um, I told my parents last night, and they were actually okay with it" Everyone applauded again "I just have to tell my Abuela before she sees that stupid commercial. But luckily she only watches Univision" "Excuse me New Directions and Trouble Tones singing groups," Figgins said, walking into the room and drawing all eyes to him "Mr. Kurt Hummel, I need to see you in my office Immediately," Figgins said sternly. Kurt stood up slowly and followed Figgins out of the room. I had planned on following them, and eavesdropping on the conversation when someone grabbed my arm "Rachel!" I said, turning to see her "What do you want?" "I just wanted to say, I'm really sorry for how I treated you when you joined, To be honest, I was threatened by your talent but I feel like since the musical we've actually become quite close and if we're going to win Sectionals we need to be united-" "What's your point, Rachel?" I asked, cutting off her rambling "The point is, I want to be friends. Put everything behind us and start fresh" "You know, when I first met you, I thought you were a stuck-up bitch, but lately, I've realized you're not a bitch just stuck-up. But you have a right to be, your amazing so you know what? Yeah, let's be friends" She squealed and pulled me into a hug. I hugged her back tightly, chuckling softly and patting her back.

I waited at Kurt's locker with Rachel and Finn. When we spotted Kurt walking up, and the sad expression on his face, I felt my heartbreak for him "Someone stuffed the ballot boxes" He said sadly "They think I did it. If they can prove it, I could be suspended" I covered my mouth in shock "Oh my God, Kurt" Rachel said quietly "And I lost. I lost the election. I lost the lead in West Side Story. I can forget about New York and NYADA, cause they'll never take me now. You know, the worst part is that I, for a second, thought I won" Rachel stepped towards him and grabbed his arms "Kurt, I'm—I'm so sorry" She said "I have to go" He said, pulling away from Rachel and walking off as he started to cry "Guys, I want you to know, I didn't do this" Finn said quickly "I didn't do it either, I couldn't have I'm a junior-" "I did it" Rachel said, cutting me off "What?" I asked in shock "What were you thinking?" Finn asked angrily "I—I—I...wasn't thinking. I—I just—I wanted to help him so bad" She said, stammering over her words "You have to tell Figgins" Finn exclaimed "I can't, I'll get suspended," She said worriedly "Rachel, Kurt'll get suspended," Finn said, before walking away. I sighed and put my arm around her "You know what's the right thing to do? You just need to do it" I said,
before walking away myself.

Blaine knocked on my door and I answered dressed head to toe in something you would wear to a prom. I wore a short blue dress.
