Blaine didn't have any friends at pre-school so he was surprised when on the first day of first grade he made one called Brian, Brian was really cool and had been camping last summer with his dad and had a pet dog. Blaine hadn't done anything with his father during the summer nor had he been allowed his own pet, Brian was so lucky, his dad must be awesome.
It was late February in second grade and Blaine was now Brian's best 'school' friend they played together at school every weekday and he had invited him over 3 times this school year so far- they had played adventurers. But he hadn't been to Brian's house yet so he was really excited to see it and meet Brian's cousins and his weekend friends. He had even said Blaine could bring a weekend friend as well.
Rachel Berry was who Blaine decided to bring, she was his neighbour, her dad was a lawyer like his, she was in the 3rd grade and she sang really great.
They arrived at the party just on time and he was shocked at how big and fancy his house was, his dad always looked below average when he picked Brian up, not super rich.
It later turned out that Blaine was right; this wasn't the house of Brian's 'dead-beat dad' it belonged to his wealthy divorcée mother.
He gave his friend his present and with Rachel's hand in his they ran into the main room. she and Blaine were only the fifth people to arrive so they soon went outside, sat on the swings and watched the piñata sway in the cool breeze until they heard Brian's mother Suzanne greet a new guest. Rachel jumped to her feet and sprinted to the door leaving Blaine alone, Rachel Berry may only have been seven years old but she was already an enthusiastic people person but Blaine wasn't. Adults usually like Rachel more than children did though, barely any kids even talked to Rachel, except Blaine and some mean girls in her class.
Brian had came out and told him they were going to eat then play pass the parcel and musical chairs. He loved pass the parcel and he was hungry from all the lone swinging he had been doing so he smiled at his friend and followed him inside. When he arrived at the large table he noticed that everyone had taken their place and they were only two empty seats each at the left side. He went to go sit down at the one beside a blonde girl, with a stuffed unicorn on her lap, when it happened.
He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around to face a very pretty Latina girl about a year older than him with a grimace on her face. "Yo broccoli head, that's my seat next to Britt-britt so you better, move your tush before I move it for ya!"
He immediately moved then apologised for taking her seat, she told him he 'wasn't that bad' and give him her pack of raisins; she knew that he knew 'she didn't even want them anyway' but he never said anything. She liked that.
That's how he became acquainted with Brian's feisty older cousin Santana Lopez.
Santana was the most popular girl in third grade at her school and everyone wanted to be her friend but she only wanted to be Brittany's and Noah's. She was seven though she had the sharp wit and snark of teenager. All the 2nd graders looked up to her but she didn't acknowledge any first graders. Her cousin Brian was in second grade and he was only a bit annoying so that's why she decided to attend his Birthday, as long as she could bring Brittany.
That's when she first met 'broccoli head' aka Blaine Anderson.
