Chapter 1: Lost in Wonderland
As I walked through the doors of Dalton Academy, I automatically got lost. This was no McKinley High, it was about 3 times bigger and the boy to girl ratio was around 800 to 1. As I walked around this overwhelming school I heard a familiar voice calling my name
"Alicia! Hey, Alicia!"
Before I could make a complete turn I was tackled by Blaine who was a little more excited to see me then I was to see him shockingly. It feels like it's been forever since I've seen Blaine but in actuality, it was only 2 years. Blaine and I walked down the hallway, and as a teenage girl it was like a dream. Hundreds of guys running up and down the halls, play fighting, studying, dancing, sliding down the stair rail.
My only thought was"Where the hell are all the teachers?"
I guess I thought too loud because Blaine heard me and said "I'd tell you….but then I'd have to kill you and I don't want to do that." he smiled but I knew there was something behind that comment.
We finally got to the room where the Warblers practice after what I thought was the longest but very attractive walk of my life. We entered the room and of course Blaine being the gentleman that he is opened the door for me, his chivalry is one of the things I've missed about him. I walked in the room and about 15 heads shot up they acted as if they've never seen a girl inside their school. When Blaine walked in they all stood in a line, straighter than I've ever seen and he began to introduce me to the boys
"This is Wes, David, Nick, Andrew, Thad, Flint, Jeff…."
Blaine continued to talk as usual but I automatically locked eyes with Jeff and I noticed that he was blushing, he looked like an adorable blond strawberry. Blaine went on this long speech about me, and how we've been friends since he was 11 and blah blah blah you will treat her with the utmost respect blah blah blah if you have a problem with her you have a problem with me blah blah blah.
An hour has gone by and Blaine finally finished his speech but I honestly paid him no mind I had my eyes set on Jeff, who was a very good lip reader because we mouthed a whole conversation while Blaine was talking. Thad, who I guess was like one of the leaders of the Warblers or something asked
"Blaine, since the lady is in the room do you think we could have her judge the song we've been working on?".
Blaine turned to me with an uncertain look on his face
"I don't know it's up to Alicia. What do you say Alicia?" stammering on my words all I could say was
"Ah-Oo-Okay?".
It's kind of sad that I can always tell if Blaine had something to do with the choreography.
After they finished the song, Blaine look down at me with his signature puppy dog eyes
"So Leesha, how'd you like it?"
How could tell him I like it when I basically stared at Jeff the whole time. So in true choir girl fashion I lied my ass off
"I loved it, the 'Ooo's' were just a tad pitchy, but other than-"
David turned to Blaine and said "I told you so."
"No need to gloat Dave!" Blaine said slightly irritated. All of a sudden the bell rang, I looked at my watch and it said 4:45, I wondered why the bells rang so late, then I remember I wasn't in pubic school right I was in heaven. I felt a tap on my shoulder, and to my surprise it was Thad
"Thank you for stopping by, and making that comment about the "Ooo" section for some reason Blaine wouldn't believe David and I when we said they were pitchy."
"No problem, Blaine's just stuck in his ways. He's known to have an ear that can turn even the ugliest sound into something beautiful."
Thad seem to be be in a hurry so we said our goodbyes, and he ran down the hall. I was about to walk away, Jeff walked up next to me. I looked at him, but when I went to speak no words came out my face flushed completely and my knees started shaking. I knew from that moment that this wasn't just a crush this was something else….this was love.
