It was after a dinner of hamburgers and salad (at Kurt's insistence) where Burt had gone to the living room to watch some sports game and Kurt was upstairs reading a book for his English class, Animal Farm, when he got an alert on his chat room account.
BrdwySprt is requesting you as a friend on Facebook. Accept or Reject?
Kurt hit accept immediately and went to go see his new friend's profile. It was newly created so there wasn't any photos or friends, mutual or otherwise and it scarcely had any information about the person that created it.
Slightly disappointed, Kurt went back to his reading until it got boring and he switched to reading his history book. He liked reading but at times the subjects he had to read for homework were quite dull. Sure there was some sort of classic nostalgia with Animal Farm and all the Shakespeare stuff he had to read last year in English, but they were required reading. He hadn't read a good story in years and it kind of bothered him.
When he was younger his mom used to read to him. Just the two of them cuddling on the sofa with a book or three and she would read to him and he would read to her. It was their special time together and that he missed it.
He missed having someone and in recent years and going to through high school, Kurt watched as his friends gained their soul mate marks and boyfriends and girlfriends. Kurt glanced at the shelf where he had a box holding a leather band he would be bringing with him to wherever he would be going to after he graduated.
Rolling his shoulders, Kurt got up from his chair and began packing his bag for tomorrow's school day. "Kurt?" His dad knocked on the door lightly. "Good night."
Opening the door, Kurt was a little weirded out that his dad was home so early. "Good night Dad." Burt patted his shoulder and gave it a squeeze. "I'll see you tomorrow."
His dad left with an odd look in his face. Shutting the door, Kurt leaned against it and breathed slow deep breaths. "This will take some getting used to." He said to himself.

Arriving at school, Kurt pulled into his usual spot and when he was walking up to the building, he spotted Blaine. "Uh, hi." He gave a shy smile once he saw Kurt walking toward him.
"Good morning, Blaine." Kurt returned his smile with one of his own. His first class of the day was history with Mr. Schuester, an entire hour and twenty minutes with the teacher who was in charge of the club he childishly stomped out of yesterday. Though he had thought of it yesterday on his drive home, the school admin didn't call his house.
Blaine looked a little apprehensive and walked with Kurt inside. Kurt was thankful that he had the reassuring presence of Blaine next to him as they went to their first class. "I got here a little late and missed my first few classes." Blaine explained as they entered the classroom.
"So your schedule is pretty much the same as mine?" Kurt asked claiming the seat next to Blaine. He also had Rachel in the class and she was pointedly ignoring him. Frankly it was refreshing since she usually left her books on her desk and came over to Kurt's and chattered until Mr. Schuester arrived.
"I guess? I have History, Gym, and Math three days a week and in between that I have English and Health and Home Ec as well." Blaine read off his schedule he had tucked into his day planner. "You're really into this," Kurt waved a hand at his new friend's highlighted, tabbed and neatly marked planner.
"I know, a byproduct of being in an all boys private school where you'll get demerits for being sloppy and late. It was pretty structured." Blaine replied with a slight shrug.
"Oh," Kurt wasn't sure how to reply to that but he nodded.
"Alright everyone!" Mr. Schuester said carrying his teacher's edition of the text book and a huge folder of paper. "Pop quiz! Clear your desks!"
