Today was my first day at dalton. And to be brutally honest, I hated it.
Everyone seemed to have a group of their own, all those boys, with their blazers aligned. Talking. Laughing. Then there was me, all by myself. I missed my girls at Mckinley and I haven't even started the first period yet!
"Mister" someone called. I was waiting in the parapet of the wall, next to the bathroom door of the second floor, watching all the boys running through the halls trying not be late for the first class of the day, I turned around to see who was calling.
"Mister" was said again, by a lady who seemed to be at her fourties, with an inviting smile printed all over her face. Her eyes had a glow that was difficult to see around nowdays, and the wrinkles in her eyes were hidden by the big glasses that covered almost her whole face. "Yeah! you!"
"Me?" I said pointing my index finger to my chest.
"Yes boy!" she said coming closer to me. "You're new here, right young gentlemen?"
I just nodded while she stood in front of me, looking into me from my shoes till the top of my hair."Where is your guide then?" She questioned me suspiciously.
"I.. I.. My what?" I asked confused.
She looked at me, her eyes were jugdy. The woman stared at me for about 3 or 4 seconds then added "Follow me".
We walked until the end of the hall, and we stoped in front of a door. This door were about three times bigger than the others of the many doors of Dalton, and it had a big plate writen "Principal's room" on the top of it.
We entered the room, and she made the gesture for me to sit. The room wasnt different from the rest of the school, actually fit in pretty well. It was a mix of blue and white on the walls. The windows way bigger than it should be. Photos and sculputures of people that I imagine were the founders of the school all over the place, literally, since dad drop me here, I have seen those faces over and over and over again.
This room gave me the feeling of death. It was beautiful but it was giving me chills.
"What's your name?" She asked.
"Hummel. Kurt Hummel."
"Hummel..." She mumbled to herself a few times, looking through a pile of files, then taking a briefcase and putting aside.
"Kurt, Are you going to stay at the dorms?"
"Yes" I said. "When I got here, my dad and I left all my stuff in this empty room, or I would be la-"
"Actually, after we finish here, you gonna 'settle down'. You have a roommate to help you with everything. When he heard that you were joining the academic system of Dalton, he asked permission if he could be your new roommate, as he already knew yo-"While she was talking, my mind went far far away. I couldnt avoid the smile forming on my face, thinking that Blaine, that boy only could be Blaine, wanted to be my roommate. In the past two weeks, I've been texting him everyday and meeting him at the Lima bean every monday, wednesday and friday.
When I told him about changing schools, he was genuinely happy. What made me happy. And to think that we are going to share the same room. It's crazy.
"He will also be your school guide." She kept on talking, when we listened a soft knock in the door interrupting the woman's speech.
"Hello Ms. Campbell." Blaine said more nervously than I've have ever seen him before, like he was in a big trouble and was about to face it, I couldn't blame him anyway, I would be feeling the same way, if I was the one being called by the principal in the middle of class, I would be terrified.
"Oh, hi Kurt!" He said, the nervous look that was covering his face was all gone, now occupied by a big smile that lighed his whole face up. Ms. Campbell made the same gesture to him to sit next to me, while I smiled and returned a timid 'hello'."So, Mr. Anderson, I was just telling Mr. Hummel about how things work at our school, but I trust you to make sure he understands everything and feel welcome, are we clear?"
"Yeah, yeah, of course" Blaine said scratching his hair, and shaking his right leg non-stop.
"And for you" She said, looking directly at me "If anything happens, any trouble, or doubts or anything at all, my door is always open." I smiled and nodded. I have this poor habit that when I don't know what to say, I smile then nod. I do this alot through the day.
"Uhh, okay then." She said standing up, like saying to us to get out of the room. I exchanged a look with Blaine who gave me an encouragement smile, and we got out with a farewell from Ms. Campbell saying to me 'to have a nice tour at the school and enjoy my stay.'
We took a few slow steps through the silent hall. "Hi" He said to me.
"Hey" I answered looking at my feet.
"Hi" He said again making we both laugh. "This looks like a 'friends' episode, you know?"
"What?"
"N-Nothing" He said as we kept walking. "So these" he said pointing his hand to the doors around us. "It's the classrooms"
"No shit, sherlock!" I said making the most shocking face I could think of. He smiled and give me the tongue as he kept on explaining "These are the classrooms. We have tons and tons of floors just lke this one, and you being a newbie here my dear Kurt, you're most likely to get lost."
"Oh"
"Be careful though, Kurt, because the teachers here, they're a bunch of..." He looked to both sides, then he whispered in my right ear "Douchebags" If his breath didn't smell like strawberries, or while he spoke the air that came from his mouth tickled my ear, I would totally mock Blaine by the fact that he couldn't swear out loud."And you better watch out about being late, they really are sh-poop."
I laughed at him as he pushed my shoulder with his own. "Up here is pretty boring, I mean, there's nothing to show." He took my hand on his own what made me feel my face burn up "Let's check out our room, roomie!"
We went running, he in the front and me in the back. We were the only one in the halls and the floors were really smooth, but we kept running, we descended the first staircase. Blaine was all jumpy. We passed through the Trophy and The warblers rehearsal room that I recognised from the last time. We descended a new staircase set, and at that point I was already feeling breathless. We entered in something that looked like the lunch/dinner room, it was giant, but we passed throught it in matter of seconds, what made we end up in the school campus.
Blaine looked at me, his face was so red! I tried to laugh but I was just so damn breathless! We ran a bit more till we end up in front of this big plate written "Dorms".
We stopped and we both just stood there trying to catch our breaths again.
