Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Say
Author's note: This is my first story. I want to warn you that this is not a Klaine story per say, as it is a pre-Klaine story. There will be a sequel, which will be Klaine, I promise. This is very slow-burn, and it tells the season one story of Blaine that we never got to see. It is very important to pay attention to the dates in this story. I update weekly, but I don't have a steady day that I post. This story will stay T rated, although there are some romance scenes.
This gets quite angsty in some places, especially in regards to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. I have posted warnings in those chapters just in case. If you don't like Blaine paired with anyone else, you may not like this story, but I try to remain true to canon. However, I do believe that there was more to the story of the friend that he went to Sadie Hawkin's dance with. Without further ado:
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or any of the characters affiliated with it. I also do not own "Say," by John Mayer.

Prologue
November 9, 2010
Blaine Anderson, Dalton Academy
Do you believe that one moment can change the course of your life? That one event change the way you saw everything, or do you think it's a series of moments that build from one experience to the next. A year ago, I would've said that was crazy. But I'm not the same guy that I was a year ago.
This last year has been a series of moments, a few in which were very unpleasant, but it all led me here; therefore I don't regret them for a minute.
So what moment am I referring to?
"Excuse me! Um hi. Can I ask you a question? I'm new here."
"My name's Blaine," I say, extending my hand to the boy with the most angelic face I had ever seen. And those eyes, those beautiful blue orbs that shined as he spoke. He obviously wasn't new here, and I knew I had seen that face before. I was incredibly intrigued.
"Kurt." Yes, I know. I remember. "So what exactly is going on?" Sly, Kurt! I figured I'd play along. I didn't think he remembered me.
"The Warblers! Every now and then they throw an impromptu performance in the senior commons. It tends to shut the school down for a while," I said, smiling at the adorable face in front of me. That face that I had already been enamored by before.
"So, wait, the glee club here is kind of cool?" He seemed thrown off by my remark. I knew that the glee club at McKinley didn't have the same kind of status that the Warblers did here at Dalton. I'll explain that later.
"The Warblers are like rock stars." I watched his eyes light up. Wow! He was gorgeous. It was those eyes. Those eyes that I had never really forgotten. "Come on. I know a short cut." I took his hand in mine. He seemed hesitant, but he obliged. As we ran down the hallway, our hands still intertwined, I felt it immediately, a connection, a spark, and I knew instantly that everything had lead up to this point. Everything in the previous year, all of it, had happened for a reason. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start at that first moment. The moment life as I knew it shifted upside down.
