Bedroom
He didn’t stop until he got home, slamming the door shut behind him and leaning against it, finally feeling safe. He never thought he’d see that look on Kurt’s face again. At least this time it hadn’t had so much fear in it.
“Yo, man, what’s up?” came a friendly voice. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Dave slowly opened his eyes to see his best friend, Azimio, standing in his hallway. “What are you doing here?”
“You said you wanted to meet after school. You weren’t here, but your dad let me in before he left to go to his office.”
“Um, yeah,” said Dave, starting to relax a little. “Remember that thing I told you about?”
“Yeah, Beiste said you had to join that little geek club or something.”
Nodding, Dave started to head to his room. “Yeah. I auditioned for it today. I thought I told you I’d be late getting home.”
“I can’t remember. How’d it go? You a gleek now?”
Dave fell back onto his bed. “I don’t know. I kinda split as soon as the music stopped. I figure Mr. Schue will tell me tomorrow.”
“Cool man,” said Azimio, dropping into the desk chair. “Your dad said you got mail, by the way.”
Slowly sitting up, Dave glanced over at his pillow, the usual spot his dad dropped mail for him. It was a single envelope with a red shield symbol next to the return address. “Holy shit!” Dave grabbed it, staring at it a moment before actually opening it.
“Dude, is that from that college you applied to so fucking early?” Azimio asked.
“Bad Horse Letter”
Dave nodded, reading through the letter.
Bad Horse
Bad Horse
Bad Horse
Bad Horse
“Dear Mr. Karofsky, thank you for applying for early decision to Cornell University. I regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you admission at this time.”
He rides across the nation
The thoroughbred of sin
He got the application that you just sent in
It needs evaluation, so let the games begin
A heinous crime, a show of force,
(A murder would be nice of course).
“The admission process is very competitive. The Admissions Committee gives highest consideration to applicants with competitive GPAs who are involved in a diverse range of extracurricular activities.”
Bad Horse

Bad Horse
He’s bad
The evil league of evil
Is watching so beware
The grade that you receive will be your last we swear.
“Should you remain interested in attending Cornell, we recommend that you join some organizations, inside or outside of school, strive for high SAT and ACT scores, and maintain your current GPA before applying for regular admissions in January.”
So make the Bad Horse gleeful
Or he’ll make you his mare.
“We appreciate your interest in Cornell and wish you the best as you pursue your educational goals.”
You’re saddled up
There’s no recourse
It’s ‘high-ho silver’
Signed: Bad Horse.
“Sincerely, Adam W. Barrington, Director of Admissions.”
“At least you get a second chance,” said Azimio.
“I really hope I get into New Directions,” Dave mumbled, staring in disappointment at the piece of paper. “Any other ideas for ‘extracurricular activities?’ There’s no way I’m joining the mathletes.”
“You could run for student government.” Azimio was only half paying attention, playing on his phone, so he missed the pained look on Dave’s face.
If Dave ran for some office or another, he’d either be competing against Kurt, meaning he probably wouldn’t stand a chance, or he’d win another office and be forced to see him once a week or whatever. Then he remembered that if he got into glee then he’d be seeing him every day.
“Maybe,” Dave said, putting the letter aside and pulling out his game console. The action immediately captured Az’s full attention and the boys wasted the afternoon away on mindless video games.

A/N: My timing may be off for early acceptance, but the letter is fairly accurate. I based if off of one of my own "denied" letters. :P That's all I'm posting for now. Let me know what you think! This last part is really what I was aiming for as the layout (just FYI).
