Blaine Anderson was a normal eighteen-year-old kid. He used to live in Westerville, Ohio with his abusive mother and father, until he met Kurt Hummel. Kurt was a tall, lanky boy with brunette hair, and beautiful porcelain skin. He had blue-grey eyes that he could pretty much charm anyone with. Blaine looked completely different than Kurt. Blaine was short, at least four inches shorter than Kurt, and he had black curly hair that always had a ridiculous amount of gel kept in it. He had bright hazel eyes and light tan skin to match his Eurasian looking face. Kurt went to McKinley High in Lima, Ohio where he was part of their glee club, the New Directions. Blaine went to Dalton Academy, a private school Blaine escaped to after constant bullying from his so-called friends. Blaine was the lead singer of their glee club, the Warblers. He had met Kurt when he was trying to spy on the Warblers right before their show choir competition. From there a friendship grew into love, and love blossomed into more. A lot had happened over the two years Blaine and Kurt knew each other. Kurt transferred to Dalton to get away from a bully, much like Blaine had done. He transferred back to McKinley when the bully started a bullwhips program, thanks to Santana, that gave him a safe school environment where he didn't have to worry about being thrown into dumpsters, slammed into lockers, and verbally harassed anymore. After the school year was over and the new school year started, Kurt convinced Blaine to transfer to McKinley and join the glee club. Blaine and Kurt had sex for the first time, they broke up, they got back together, and Kurt auditioned to NYADA, where he didn't get in. Over the summer Blaine and Kurt took a vacation to New York so that Kurt could try and audition for other colleges in the area. When summer was almost over Blaine and Kurt parted their ways for the next year so that Kurt could look for colleges in New York and go house hunting for something he and Blaine could stay in, and Blaine could finish high school and apply for the same colleges as Kurt. They knew that they would have to take a year off of seeing each other, but they knew their love could endure.
"Blaine! Hurry up! We're going to be late for glee club," shouted Sam from across the hallway.
It was the first day of school back from summer, and Blaine had already gotten slammed against the lockers twice and thrown in the dumpster by three senior hockey players. It was finally last period and Blaine and Sam had managed to start a friendship in seven hours of torture. This morning Sam help Blaine get out of the dumpster and clean off his clothes and they had both been slammed against the lockers together. It was a friendship made in Heaven. Blaine missed Kurt with all passion but he knew with a few new friends, he would get through it.
"I'll be there in two seconds," replied Blaine.
Blaine rushed down the hall and into the choir room, where all the juniors and sophomores from last year were sitting and chatting with each other. Sugar, Roy, and Joe were sitting in a half circle talking about Sugar's outfit, of course. Tina and Artie were also sitting together talking about something so Blaine and Sam decided to join them.
"Hey guys," Blaine said in his usual cheery voice.
He bent down and gave Tina and Artie a simultaneous hug while Sam got him and Blaine a seat from the back of the room. Will walked in the classroom right when Blaine let go of Tina and Artie and put his sheet music on the piano.
"Welcome back everyone," he said with a big grin.
Everyone clapped and Will continued.
"Alright you guys, there only seven of you left…you know what that means."
"More solos," Sugar said with a smirk.
"Well yes, but before anyone gets a solo we need to recruit more members if we even want to compete at Sectionals."
Everyone looked around nodding their heads in agreement.
"Okay, so the minimum amount of members we need is twelve. That means we have to recruit five new members if we even want a shot at winning. Any ideas?"
Blaine and Sam looked at each other and smiled.
"Actually we did have an idea," Sam said.
"Okay, what is it."
"We were thinking that maybe we could do a big group number where everyone gets a little solo. Maybe that would show them that they wouldn't just be swaying in the background, but that they might actually have a chance in the spotlight."
"Well we have been banned from the cafeteria…forever after last year's food fight and we can't go in the courtyard ever again because SOMEBODY decided they were going to blow up a piano."
Everyone turned and stared at Blaine with a disappointed look.
"Hey that was not my fault okay. Santana and the cheerleaders were the ones who set it on fire. I was just singing."
The mention of one of the seniors' names left everyone in a down mood.
"Well if we can't perform in the cafeteria or courtyard, there's nowhere else TO perform," said Roy with a scared look on his face.
"I might have an idea but it's going to take some convincing," said Sam.
"Where," asked Will
"The gym; If we can convince principal Figgins to let us gather all the students in the gym during their last period we can perform in the big open area where we play dodge ball."
"OH NO!" shouted Roy. "Last time we played dodge ball I got a nosebleed. That's never going to happen again."
"We wouldn't be playing dodge ball…we would be singing. So what do you think?"
"I think I need to go talk to Principal Figgins," said Will.
After glee club was over, Sam and Blaine walked over to their lockers to get their homework and leave. Rick, one of the obnoxious hockey players that shoved Blaine this morning, walked straight into Sam and slammed him against his locker and knocked him to the floor.
"What's wrong homo? You can't take a hit."
Blaine rushed over to help Sam get up and shouted sarcastically, "Damn. Too bad we have to deal with this loser AGAIN, now working on his second year at being a senior. What's wrong? You can't take a hit."
Blaine smirked at his witty comeback.
"You want to go, you freaking Faggot. Ah…too bad your little butt buddy Hummel isn't here to defend you."
Blaine shoved Rick as hard as he possibly could. This led to Rick swinging at Blaine and hitting him square in the jaw. When Shannon caught a glimpse at the fight, she rushed over to break it up along with Sam.
"You know what…you're not worth it. Let's go Sam."
Sam and Blaine walked out to Blaine's car and got in to head to the Lima Bean. When they got there they spotted a tall boy with a Warblers blazer on.
"Hey Blaine…blonde girl," said Sebastian.
"I'm a dude."
"Oh sorry…I couldn't tell over your lesbian bowl cut."
Sam rolled his eyes and looked at Blaine for backup.
"Why are you here," said Blaine.
"I couldn't help but to stop by and see you for the first time this year. Also I wanted to ask if you want to go out sometime since your little boyfriend is away in New York."
"Really? With all the crap you've said to me, and the pain you put me through, why the HELL would I want to go out with you."
"How about you," Sebastian said turning his head towards Sam.
"I'm not gay."
"Well two reasons I know you are."
Sam looked confused.
"First your hair. What straight boy dyes his hair bleach blonde? And second, you're hanging out with the most beautiful gay guy in Ohio. It's hard to look at him and not turn gay."
"Blaine and I are just friends."
"That'll never last. Anyway I got to go strategize how the Warblers are going to crush you guys a Sectionals."
Sebastian winked at Blaine and walked away full of pride and cockiness.
"And you wonder why Kurt hated him."
Sam snickered and went back to his homework.
"We have to get new recruits for glee club if we want to beat those guys."
Blaine and Sam stared at each other with quick glances and huge grins spread across both of their faces.
"And I think I know how."
