Arriving at school, the five seniors made their way to their lockers. Kurt and Evan stopped first, on opposite sides of the hall; further down Scott stopped, then Jean, and lastly Sorin. The lockers lined both sides of the main hallway. Last names starting with the letter 'A' beginning near the east entrance on the south wall, the alphabet-ordered lockers extended down the length of the hall, jumping to the north wall at the end, and then trailing back to the east entrance so that 'A' last names were across the hall from 'Z' last names. Evan's 'D' locker was a few lockers past Kurt's 'W' on the opposite wall. Scott's 'S' was on the north wall, about a dozen lockers down from Kurt's. Jean's 'G' was on the south wall like Evan's, about halfway down the hallway. And on the north wall, nearly at the end of the hallway was Sorin's misplaced locker. A 'G' in the middle of the 'P' lockers.

"Man," Evan said, slamming his locker closed. He crossed the hall to hang by Kurt as Kurt dug through his locker for the items he needed for morning classes. "I can't believe Sorin got all that homework done. I can barely do mine in time."

"That is because you have die attention span of a rodent."

"Hey!" Evan punched Kurt playfully on the arm.

"Sorin vants to be done school as badly as you. That is motivation."

"I... didn't think of it like that. I guess if I had to choose between re-doing a year of school and cramming work, I'd find a way to cram it all too."

"Ja."

Kurt looked down the hall towards where Sorin's locker was. There were too many students in the way to see Sorin, but Kurt noticed Scott cross the hall towards Jean's locker. They'd be heading off to the science wing since they had physics first period.

Kurt looked at the clock on the wall. Just a few minutes till the bell. It was time to head to homeroom. He double-checked his locker and his bag, to make sure he had everything he needed, and pushed his locker closed.

"I vill see you at lunch," Kurt said, and headed down the hallway, intending to meet up with Sorin on the way to homeroom.

"See ya!" Evan called above the din of the hallway, before turning down the side hall towards the social studies classrooms.

Kurt had calculus for homeroom, and Sorin had Language Arts -which was basically just essay writing. The language classrooms were in-between the senior lockers and the mathematics classrooms, so Kurt could walk with Sorin to homeroom. He hadn't had much chance to, since Sorin usually disappeared into his homeroom early to do work, but today was different. Today felt different.

Kurt made it to Sorin's locker just as Sorin was closing the door.

"Hey, Kurt," Sorin greeted, noticing him. Without discussion on the matter, they headed towards Sorin's homeroom together.

"Are you joining us for lunch now?" Kurt asked, nearly at the classroom.

"Oh," Sorin paused. "Yeah, definitely."
