Kurt walked down the halls of McKinley High in a downcast manner. Kurt Hummel had just exited the bathroom where he had washed off his afternoon slushy facial. His eyes stung and burned from the corn syrup, and his nose felt like it would be permanently frozen. Kurt Hummel was gay and bullied relentlessly because of that. He was headed to glee club where he felt accepted but still odd and out of place, especially among the fellow males. It was mash-up week and Mr. Shue refused to let him be with the girls. So he and the boys discussed ideas and every single one of Kurt's was shot down in instants after mentioning them. A while prior Mr. Shue had revealed the competition set list. An all boys prep school in Westerville, The Dalton Academy Warblers and the Hipsters, and old folks group. Kurt sat complacent whilst the other boys suggested KISS and leather and finally one of them made a suggestion.

Noah Puckerman said " Kurt why don't you go spy on the garglers or poison the geezers Jell-O?"

Kurt replied sort of upset "it's the warblers puck!"

" Whatever" Noah replied not caring in the slightest

Kurt thought, while Noah rambled about feathers and fitting in, whether maybe he should spy on the Warblers, but not for the New Directions benefit but for his own. Kurt hated 99% of the world, and waited with bated breath for the day he could blow the hell out of the cow town Lima, and be in NYC for the rest of his existence, Maybe, Dalton could offer him a chance to shine without his light being dampened with, locker shoves, dumpster diving (involuntarily of course) and slushies right in his T zone.

Kurt took Noah's advice and drove to Westerville. He walked in the school and saw it was very "posh" and "preppy". He began walking down the staircase when he realized he was completely lost. He saw a boy in front of him and said

"Excuse me, can I ask you a question? I'm new here."

Kurt soon realized the word boy didn't apply to this young man. His slicked black hair and his hazel eyes. He was gorgeous; he looked like he should be a model. Kurt felt like his heart was beating so loudly maybe everyone in the whole world could hear it. He tried to control it but a smirk of attraction (because who the hell could blame him when the real life Adonis was standing there?) spread over his face.

"I'm Blaine" the young man replied

" Kurt", Kurt said shyly.

Blaine reached out to shake his hand and when they touched Kurt felt electric shocks go through out his entire body. He felt as if his heart would beat out of his chest. He let go and wished he hadn't. He all the sudden noticed everyone was rushing down the hallway, he had forgotten his original question getting lost in Blaine's expressive eyes that seemed honey and hazel and indescribably beautiful, but he had a new one.

"What's going on?" Kurt asked

"The Warblers, they hold impromptu performances sometimes and it shuts down the school for a while" Blaine replied surprised at the boys question

" Wait the glee club here is actually cool?" Kurt asked very shocked because The New Directions was definitely the furthest thing from cool.

" Yeah the warblers are like, rock stars! " Blaine replied with a smile spreading over his face " come on, I know a short cut!" Blaine said grabbing Kurt's hand and running down a hallway. Kurt was in bliss. He felt safe for some reason with Blaine; he felt normal which were two things he hadn't felt in a very, very long time if ever in his 16 years of life.

When they reached the room Blaine excused himself away from Kurt and joined the Warblers in an acapella cover of "Teenage Dream". It took Kurt's breath away. He thought to himself " holy shit this kid can sing, and he's super hot! I bet just my luck he's straight, wait why is he staring at me, is he singing this song to me? I wish, if only, god he is so hot, I thinks he knows I'm thinking about him! Oh well,"

The song ended with Blaine thinking, " This new kid is super cute! Wait why doesn't he have a uniform? I bet he is a spy for another show-choir, he looks so happy though, he also looks in bliss, something else is going on with this kid, I know that look. I had it the first time I came to Dalton, the first time I ever felt safe to be who I was."
