Change sucked. At least it did for Blaine Anderson. Right now change found him in the boys bathroom trying to wash out the slushie that was whipped in his face before 3rd period. His First day at McKinley wasn't exactly going as planned. I mean Blaine knew that kids could be cruel, but what the hell was this? I was his first day, people shouldn't even know who he is yet.

Blaine learned fast that the kids at WMHS weren't exactly welcoming; especially the jocks. He had been shoved into lockers, seen kids tossed into dumpsters, and he had been getting lost all morning.

It hadn't always been this way. Before Blaine transferred to McKinley, he went to Dalton Academy For Boys in Indiana. Dalton was somewhat of a paradise. It was an enormous, boarding optional private school, where dapper and charming was everyone's middle name. All the kids were kind, there was a no bullying policy, and Blaine was even popular.

But thanks to his Dad's promotion, it was bye-bye Dalton, and hello McKinley. When he was first informed that they were moving to Lima, Blaine was pissed. He loved Dalton, and didn't see why he should go too. They had enough money to let him board there, but his parents insisted that it wasn't up for discussion.

They were going, and they were going as a family. After the initial shock and anger, Blaine saw moving as an opportunity to start fresh, and face up to the environment he had run away from.

This was proving easier said than done as Blaine headed to Spanish class, hair damp and clothes sticky. Luckily for him the slushie had only gotten on his sweater so he could just wear the polo underneath for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for his pants.

"Blaine, nice of you to join us." The teacher Blaine learned was Mr. Schuester said. "Sorry..." Blaine half mumbled as the rest of the class snickered. "I got a little lost." Wasn't really a lie, he still didn't have a good idea of this place yet. He just didn't feel like revealing to a room full of teenagers that he had gotten ice dumped over his head a little while ago.

"That's alright, just make sure it doesn't happen again." Mr. Schue replied, slightly apologetic. He knew how hard it was to be the new kid, especially in this school. "I'll assign someone to show you around properly at lunch."

Blaine nodded and took a seat next to a kid who - and Blaine really didn't like to judge - looked homeless. Or maybe he was just a hipster. He had long, shaggy, mud-brown hair, rumpled clothes, and a smell that couldn't be distinguished.

This just gets better and better.

He found it easy to follow along, as they were already passed this point in his classes at Dalton. When class ended, Mr. Schue stopped Blaine and informed him that someone named Finn would be showing him around. He assumed that Finn was the very tall and slightly intimidating guy sporting a red letterman jacket standing beside him. Great, just what Blaine needed. Some pompous football jock who would rather be shoving him into a locker.


Blaine couldn't be more wrong. Finn was actually a pretty cool guy. He was tall - very tall - had short dark hair, and was a little burly. He seemed like the type of guy you'd expect to be hostile and generally have the IQ of a toddler, but he was pretty pleasant about having to show Blaine around.

Finn walked Blaine to a fairly large room with an open space at the entrance, various types of musical equipment, and several rows of chairs against the back wall. "So this is the choir room." Finn announced. "This is mostly where the glee club practices."

"This school has a glee club?" Blaine asked, slightly surprised. He guessed that most schools had a glee club of sorts, but this school didn't seem the type.

"Totally dude! Can you sing? You should totally join up! We're always looking for new members." Finn said excitedly.

"Yeah; I was actually in the glee club at my old school." No need to mention that you were the lead singer, Blaine thought. That would just be douchey.

Cool, man." Finn said happily. "Come by the choir room on any day but Wednesday at 4:00 whenever you're ready."

"I definitely will." Blaine said, suddenly very eager. Things seemed to be looking up.

So yeah, let me know what you think! Review and whatnot, but try to go easy on me as this is the first thing I've ever written! I will post chapter 2 later tonight, or tomorrow at the absolute latest. Most likely tomorrow because today is a bit busy, but I already have most of it written so we'll see.
