I'm Jer, and this is my entry for the first week of the "Glee Wiki Summer Club".
My characters are Kurt and Joe.
I hope you like it.
Start From Scratch[]
HALLWAY[]
Kurt touched his finger once again, just to feel his engagement ring and smiled as he kept walking. He found Blaine by his locker.
Kurt said: "Hey there!" and kissed him.
Blaine said: "Hey" and grabbed Kurt's arm while they started walking down the hallway.
Kurt saw Joe at the end of the hallway, fetching his books form his locker. They made eye contact for a second, and immediately Joe looked down nervously, closed his locker, and walked away quickly.
Kurt said to Blaine: "Did you see that?"
Blaine: "See what?"
"Joe! He saw us coming and ran away"
"I'm sure it wasn't like that Kurt, Joe is our friend; it must have been a misunderstanding"
"It could have been if it were the first time it happened"
"What do you mean?"
Kurt stopped, looked Blaine in the eyes and said: "Joe's been acting weird since the night you proposed. It seems like he's... avoiding us"
Blaine looked hurt, but still comforted Kurt saying: "Well.. you knew not everyone was going to be supportive about this"
Kuet nodded: "I know, but still.." He turned around and started walking quickly.
"Where are you going?" said Blaine, standing in the same spot
"I have to say something!"
Blaine tried to stop him. He said "Don't..." but it was to late. Kurt was already running and he couldn't hear him.
Kurt found Joe and yelled: "Joe!"
Blaine reached Kurt and told him: "Kurt, stop!"
Joe kept walking, now faster, without looking back.
Kurt was furious.
"Come back here, you homophobe!" he shouted angrily, "Not hitting me, or saying things out loud doesn't make you any better than the ones who did!"
Joe stopped, looking down, and let a tear run down his cheek. After a while he kept walking, slowly, never looking back.
Blaine grabbed Kurt and said: "Kurt, calm down"
Kurt looked frustrated, but he took a deep breath and nodded at Blaine.
CHOIR ROOM[]
Kurt walked into the choir room, seeing that Joe was there, sitting alone. As he heard steps Joe looked.
"Joe..." Started Kurt, trying to apologize. But Joe interrupted him:
"You don't know what it's like" he said. Kurt remained silent.
Joe: "I feel really happy for you and Blaine. I really do, or at least I try to be. I've been all week thinking of a way to congratulate you, trying to figure out what to say to you. But then I thought, "What they're doing is a sin, I shouldn't be encouraging then; I should be helping them"..."
Kurt, who had sat next to Joe while he was speaking, looked shocked.
He said: "We didn't choose to be like this! We were born this way and we are just being who we are! How is that a sin?"
Joe: "I don't know! That is why I feel so conflicted about this! I'm all for accepting people and everything, but all my life I've taught that being what you guys are is wrong, that it is a disease and it needs to be cured. I was told to fight against it! But now I'm not so sure..."
Kurt stared at him with his eyes wide open, and said in a threatening tone:"Not so sure...?"
Joe complained: "Well, it's my religion we're talking about! I might disagree with a few things, but I can't disregard it completely! My whole life was formed with it and around it, don't expect me to just drop it"
Kurt looked dissapointed. The bell rang and Kurt stood up while the rest of ND entered the choir room. He said to Joe, in a low voice: "You know, that's exactly what I expected you to do. Why believe something that teaches you to be a disgusting homophobe and makes you hate your friends?"
Joe: "I hate the sin, not the sinner"
"Whatever, I thought you were different" said Kurt as he stormed out.
AUDITORIUM[]
Joe walked into the stage in the auditorium and looked around confused. Immediately after, Kurt appeared from the other side of the stage.
"Kurt?" Said Joe, dissapointed.
"It was me who send you the text about "Free bibles in the auditorium"" confessed Kurt, "Sory about that, I didn't know what else would get your attention, we never had much of an interaction before, did we?"
Joe denied with his head and remained silent, waiting for Kurt to speak.
"I was wrong" said Kut after a while, "We were both wrong actually..."
"What do you mean?" asked Joe, unsure.
Kurt: "I was wrong when I critiziced your beliefs. I may not agree with them, but I respect them. And, I know it is hard for you to be happy about Blaine and I because you believe what we're doing is wrong. But I also believe something: I believe that being myself, and being with the one I love the most, I'll find happiness, so I'm asking you to please respect that."
"I feel you" said Joe, "It's okay to have different beliefs, as long as you respect other's belief"
Kurt: "I'm glad we cleared this out"
They both smiled and hugged. However, the situation turned awkward, as they didn't have anything else to talk to. They just saluted with a head movement and began to leave the stage through different sides.
Suddenly, Joe turn around and said: "Kurt... It was nice talking to you, and I would really like being friends with someone... like you"
Kurt turned around: "You mean gay?"
Joe smiled and nodded.
Kurt: "Yeah, it was kind of interesting talking to you, I don't see us having much of a common subject to talk about though..."
Joe: "You'd be surprised" He grabbed a guitar, Kurt looked confused.
Joe started playing and singing Fifth Harmony's Miss Movin' On: "I'm breaking down gonna start from scratch, Shake it off like and etch-a-sketch"
Kurt was astonished: "Fifth Harmony? Really?"
Joe smiled and continued singing. Kurt joined him in the chorus and they ended up singing it together, having fun. Once they finished, they started laughing.
Joe: "That was really cool"
Kurt: "Are you kidding me? That was amazing! I gotta ask why did you choose this particular song though... Isn't it about moving on from a break up?"
Joe: "It could be... but I chose to think of it being about moving on from who I used to be, now that I became a new Joe. More accepting, and friendly and stuff..."
"Aw, that's sweet" said Kurt smiling. He offered Joe his arm and asked "Walk me to choir room?"
Joe smiled: "Sure" he said, itertwining his arm with Kurt's.
"So..." said Kurt as they walked off the stage "Do you always listen to this kind of music? Cause that was like gayer than me"
Joe replied: "Oh no, I also dig Maroon 5"
Kurt smiled: "Ooh, Adam Levine is hot"
Joe laughed.
