Season Two Spoilers, Karofsky, Kurt, Dalton

David Karofsky transfers to Dalton Academy. Unfortunately for Kurt, transferring out isn't really an option, considering that his parents had paid the non-refundable tuition only the week before. What's worse, Karofsky has become very buddy-buddy with the Warblers, who think he's a great guy. He's closest with the Warbler Council, and treats Kurt like an old friend when he's around them. When they're alone, however, it's a different story. It's kind of difficult when you're already considered an attention-seeker in a group to suddenly accuse the seemingly genuinely kind new kid of making your life a living hell.
(Dalton is totally a boarding school in my head, just so you know.)The dean is sympathetic-he’s aware of the reason for Kurt’s sudden transfer to Dalton, even if he, like everyone else, doesn’t know the whole story-but there’s nothing he can do. Karofsky hasn’t broken any of Dalton’s rules and he was never actually expelled from McKinley. The school board overturned everything. There’s nothing in his permanent record to indicate that he ever threatened to kill Kurt and it’s just Kurt’s word against Karofsky’s
( ... )
Kurt can’t sleep that night. He saw Karofsky moving into a dorm room that’s only two doors down on his way back from dinner and he knows Karofsky saw which room Kurt walked into. He keeps staring at the door, expecting it to open at any moment. Every shadow twists and turns into Karofsky’s hulking shape and every creak or groan of the building is Karofsky coming to get him.
He forces himself to wait until his roommate, Leo, gets up the next morning before getting out of bed. As he pokes at the dark circles under his eyes in the mirror, he’s pretty sure he didn’t sleep at all. Concealer only works so much magic and Blaine spends all of breakfast fussing over him
( ... )
The longer this goes on, the crazier Kurt starts to feel. Karofsky isn’t doing anything. He just goes to his classes, talks to a group of boys that doesn’t really overlap with the group that Kurt hangs out with, and other than that smirk the first day in art class he hasn’t even looked twice at Kurt. None of this makes Kurt feel any better. He tenses every time someone bigger or taller than him claps him on the shoulder and jumps at loud noises. He can barely eat because he feels so nervous all the time. The circles under his eyes feel like permanent bruises.
He wishes Karofsky would just do something, so that he’d have a reason to feel this way. It’d make explaining everything to Blaine or the other Warblers so much easier. As it is, Kurt’s fears are looking more unfounded by the day

I love the way you're setting this up! The slow build is making it realistic that people wouldn't believe Kurt, but there's still a ton of tension that makes it work.
Thank you so much for all the reviews! :D *hugs all of you* I’m so sorry about the long delay on this update! I wish I could promise that the next one will be faster, but I’m working on my fic for the Klaine Big Bang as well, so it might not be. I’m not abandoning this tho!
Kurt checks in the bathroom later, before dinner, and there’s already a deep bruise forming over his hip where he slammed in to the bench. He presses against it lightly, wincing a bit, before tucking his shirt back in.
He doesn’t want to go to dinner because it’s one more place that he has to see Karofsky every day, but every time he tries to skip a meal Blaine gives him this look. Kurt’s reaction to stress has always been to stop eating-he just can’t sometimes, with his stomach twisted up in knots-and the last week and a half have been nothing but stress
( ... )
“Or what? Because it worked so well the last time you talked to him.” Kurt regrets the words as soon as they’re out of his mouth. Blaine looks down and kind of bites at his lip and now Kurt feels even worse, because Blaine’s only ever tried to help. Even when that help didn’t go so well
( ... )
When he gets back to his room, Kurt hasn’t calmed down any. He’s angry, but more than that he feels betrayed. Blaine’s his boyfriend. They’ve been going out for over a month now and really, that means Blaine should believe Kurt, not Karofsky. Blaine should be on his side.
Kurt wants to hit something, wants to throw things against the wall and just scream. He settles for kicking over his desk chair. The loud crash as it hits the floor isn’t as satisfying as he’d hoped.
He can’t concentrate on his homework, despite the pressure of a French essay that’s due tomorrow, so it’s a welcome break when his phone starts playing “Single Ladies”.
Mercedes is sympathetic when she asks how he’s doing and Kurt’s response is “Boys suck.”
“Aw,” she drawls. “Do I need to come kick his ass?”
Kurt flops down onto his bed, legs dangling off the side. “Maybe,” he says.
“What happened?”
Kurt opens his mouth to tell her, but stops himself. Telling Mercedes about his fight with Blaine means telling her about why they were fighting, which means telling
