New Girl

Chapter 7: Slushies and Kurt

(Natalie's p.o.v)

"You did a great job in glee club the other day." says none other than my best friend, Blaine. "Aw stop it. Thanks Blaine." I say. "I'll see you later Nat. I have to get to class." Blaine waves goodbye and walks away.

I close my locker and start walking down the hallway, lost in my own thoughts. The hallways are almost empty. I daydream about what songs I will sing in glee club and about what it would be like if Riley was here.

I was lost in my own little world when suddenly a voice snapped me out of it. "Hey look who it is." snickers a boy I've never seen before. "It's the new freak who joined the glee club." The two other boys behind him laugh.

"What do you want?" I ask. They laugh again. "Ooh a feisty one."

I step towards him ready to push him. "Ew stay away. I don't want to catch the failure." the boys snicker again. The lead boy shoves me into the locker. I start saying "If you touch me again I will-" I was cut off when something slapped against my face.

My face was freezing and I couldn't see. I tried to open my eyes but they stung so I couldn't. They laughed at me and shoved me into the locker again. I could hear their footsteps getting farther away.

I wasn't able to see so I just slid down onto the floor and sat there. I started crying but my eyes just stung more.

Suddenly I heard more footsteps. I immediately think the boys are back for more so I shout "Stay away. Don't touch me!"

"What? It's just me, Kurt." says the owner of the footsteps. "Oh Kurt. I'm so sorry, I can't see anything."I explained.

"These boys ran up and they- they-" I started crying again and I felt Kurt's arms wrapping around me.

"Shh it's okay. Come with me."

With Kurt's help, I stood up and he walked me over to where I think is the bathroom. "I hate those boys. They should get expelled. Karofsky thinks he can go around throwing slushies on people-" I interrupt Kurt "Slushies? So that's what this is." I say pointing to my freezing cold face.

"Yes. Let's clean you up."

He turns on the sink, grabs a paper towel and gently starts wiping the slushy away.

"How do you know to do that?" I ask. "I used to get slushied everyday." He responds. "Every member of the club has been slushied at least once."

He finished cleaning my face and I hug him, grateful to have him there. "Thank you so much Kurt." I say. "No problem. Here to help." he says, smiling.

"Blaine is so lucky to have you." I tell him. He blushes then says "Yeah. He is." We both laugh and walk out of the bathroom together, off to next period.

As soon as I got home, I decided to call Riley. "Hello?" Riley asks.

"Hey Riley. I miss you." I say. "I miss you too." Riley responds. "Did anything interesting happen today?" Riley asks. "Well.. I got a slushy thrown at my face but nothing really.." I reply.

"What?!" she yells. "Yeah. Well long story. I was-" she cut me off.

"Look I have to go now. Bye!" she hangs up before I can say anything.

Great. Now she doesn't have time for me anymore. The doorbell rings. "Coming!" I shout. I race down the stairs and open the door. Standing there is the person I least expected to see.

"Riley?"
