New Kid Chapter 1, a glee fanfic

A/N:

Most of what happened in season two still happened just Karofsky never kissed Kurt because Kurt never found the "courage" to stand up to him so his life was never in danger. The bullying did get worse but Kurt felt that he needed to deal with it on his own.

Also for the purposes of this story Bartie and Pizies are both still on and Sam never left so Samcedes is still happening. This is done for convenience.

I'm Irish so I'm sorry if i get some thing about American culture wrong or if i use Irishisms that the rest of the world wouldn't understand.

I hope you enjoy! ^_^

It was Kurt Hummel's first day as a senior. Everything was going well. He hadn't had any run-ins with Karofsky and no one had slushied him yet. He had a fabulous new Marc Jacobs jacket, a fabulous hairstyle and was headed to glee culb with his fabulous friends. Mercedes and Rachel were arguing about solos while their respective boyfriends, Sam and Finn, talked about football over their heads. Kurt laughed as he listened to the two divas, occasionally interupting to remind them of his own talent.

Kurt was happy. He truly was but everyone in the glee club had someone and he was alone. He felt like the perennial third wheel. The only two New Directions members who weren't all loved up were Quinn and Santanna. Although neither girl had any trouble finding a date.

His thoughts drifted back to the junior prom. He had help Finn get ready but then spent the rest of the night curled up in bed, watching old Alexander McQueen fashion shows on his laptop. Mercedes sent him updates about all the drama but it wasn't the same.

As he listened to the girls arguing he began to think that he would gladly give up all chances of a solo this yaer if he could just walk down the hall hand in hand with a boy like they were. By the time the five of them reached the choir room Kurt's mood had darkened considerably.

Everyone was gossiping as per usual. The day's topic was the new transfer student.

"New guy is all kinds of fine! I'm so gonna get all up on that." Santanna grinned.

"He is really hot." Quinn added " I mean he's kinda on the short side but his face, hair and body more than make up for it."

"He seems sorta cool I guess but I heard he's from that gay school in Westerville." Puck shrugged.

Quinn turned to face him, "Yeah but he has a Buckeyes patch on his bag. He likes football so he can't be gay."

"Quinn! That is such a sterotype, some gay guys do like sports you know. I thought you knew better than that" Kurt said defencivly, he always got upset when one of his firends made comments like that.

"Oh Kurt i know but what i meant to say was that he doesn't seem gay. I mean he's been flirting with girls all day." Quinn replyed quickly.

"Dayum then I best be getting my move on if I wanna get with him."

"Back off Santanna, I saw him first!" Quinn and Santanna started bickering over who saw the new guy first.

"Hell to the no! You guys are NOT fighting over a guy who's name you don't even know." Mercedes cut in.

Then Mike spoke up. "Um I think his name Blaine Anderson, he's in some of my AP classes. Dude's pretty smart. Classes must have been harder in that old private school of his."

"I wonder why he transfered here?" Quinn said pensively.

"Who cares I just want sombody new to do the nasty with now that Puckzilla here has been neutered by the blob."

"HEY!" Lauren shouted as she jumped from her seat "Don't make me beat your skinny little ass again." she sat down and Puck rested his arm on her shoulders.

Santanna was about to come back with a bitchy remark when Mr. Schuester walked in.

"Good afternoon guys! Welcome back to a brand new year of glee! This year I'm expecting you to make it all the way to the finals at Nationals. To you all pumped and off to a good start and also because you all seemed to enjoy it so much last time, I'm bringing back our duets compititon!"

They cheered half-heartedly.

"Once again the prize is a gift certificate to breadstix for a dinner for two."

People seemed more enthusiastic after they heard what the prize was.

"Everyone pair up."

Quinn and Santanna teamed up and everybody else went with there significant other. Kurt was left on his own.

"Oh Kurt I forgot there's an odd number since Lauren joined. Do you mind sitting this one out..."

There was a knock on the door, standing in the frame was a boy Kurt had never seen before.

The boy was about 5"9 with short, curly, black hair, held perfectly in place with a slightly excessive amount of hair-gel. He wore black skinny jeans and a long sleaved, red t-shirt that clung to his shoulders nicely. He had his bag slung casualy over one shoulder. He had big, expressive, hazel eyes, a rounded nose and plump, red lips. There was this air of cool confidence about him that Kurt found intriging.

"Hi, is this the schools glee club?" his voice was smooth, strong and confident.

"Yes it is. Do you uh... do you want to try out?" Mr. Schuester was a little confused, no one had ever come looking to join glee, without being prompted before.

"Yes sir, my name is Blaine Anderson. I just transfered here." he smiled and Kurt felt a shiver go down his spine.

Mr. Schue continued "Do you have any expirence with singing and show choir?"

"Yes sir, I was the lead singer of the Dalton Academy Warblers last year, I'm a singer/songwriter, I play Seven instruments and have appeared in various theme parks and cafés playing both covers and my own stuff."

"Wow okay, well do you have anything prepared?"

Everyone looked impressed at Blaine's resumé, Santanna was practicly drooling and Kurt coundn't help but understand why.

"May i use this guitar?" Blaine asked politely.

"Sure man. It's mine but as long as you don't break any strings it's cool." Puck answered.

Blaine picked up the guitar and started to tune it. After about a minute he was standing in front of the group.

"Whenever you're ready, Blaine." Mr. Schue sat down.

Baline began to play a song that they all recognised but couldn't quite place. Then he started to sing.

"You think i'm pretty without any make-up on.

You think I'm funny when I tell the punchline wrong"

Blaine's voice was strong, pure and beautiful his playing was interesting and flawless. None of them had ever heard the song performed like this before. They were stunned by his talent. He could take a well known pop song and turn it into something that was entirly his own.

"Imma let you put your hands on me in my skintight jeans be your teenage dream tonight."

When the song ended the club burst into a loud round of appause. All except for Rachel who was eyeing Blaine suspiciously

Kurt was speechless, he was blown away by Blaine's voice. Everything Blaine did made Kurt's breathing hitch and his heart skip a beat. Kurt could've sworn that Blaine had kept looking at him while he was singing. Kurt pushed that idea out of his head, the last thing he need was to fall for another straight guy.

"Blaine that was... wow. I think I speak for all of us when I say Welcome to the New Directions!"

"Not all of us Mr. Schuester." Rachel came dowwn to stand beside him "How do we know he isn't a Warbler spy? They're our compitition this year."

"Rachel stop being so paranoid, I'm sure Blaine's not a spy." Finn wrapped an arm around her waist "He's not Jesse St. stupid." He laughed a little at his own lame joke.

"Look, Rachel is it? You can ask me anything you feel you need to to determine that I'm not a spy."

" did you transfer here? Isn't Dalton some fancy boarding school? Why did you move to a public school?"

"I had to move in with my older brother, Chuck. He can't afford Dalton and he lives in this school district." Blaine answered smoothly.

"If you could would you go back?"

"In a heartbeat. Dalton was my sanctuary for over a year. I was popular, I made some close friends you love me for me and i got all the solos in glee club. But I can never go back so this is really a moot point." There is so much emotion behind his eyes, thought Kurt. "I'm here now and I'm willing to put 110% into this group. Is that good enough for you?"

Everyone could tell there was more to the story but they also could tell by the way Blaine sounded choked up, that they shouldn't ask. All except Finn that is.

"Why do you live with your brother? Why don't you live with your parents?"

"Finn you can't just ask that. Maybe Blaine doesn't want to talk about it." Mr. Schue said.

"No no. I have nothing to be ashamed of. My parents, well really just my dad, kicked me out."

Mr. Schuester was shocked. "Why? If you don't mind me asking."

"They found out that I'm gay. He said this calmly but they could all see the hurt flash across his face, for a second before he regained his composure.

They were all shocked. Quinn and Santanna were a little disapointed. Rachel changed her mind about Blaine at once. She was very atunned to the plight of the gays thanks to her two gay dads.

Kurt was appalled at the revalation. He was once again hit by how lucky he was to have a supporting father like Burt. He also felt a little happy, Blaine was gay. Blaine liked boys. Kurt was a boy. He quickly told himself not to get his hopes up, just 'cause he's gay doesn't mean that he'll like me he thought.

Mr. Schue could tell that Blaine was done talking about the subject so before Finn (or God forbid Brittany) could ask anymore questions, he took control of the situation.

"So Blaine welcome we're happy to have you. Before you came in I was just saying that we are going to have a duet compitition. Everyone's already paired up so you can go with Kurt here. He'll explain the rules and tell you what the prize is. Okay everybody, split up and work on your duets!"
