We wrote this together. Please review to tell us what you thought!
After the long summer break, school started again. It was just like last year. Only last year Blaine was younger and he hadn't known what to expect, he did now: A lot of fighting, talking, and yelling. Different groups: nerds, gothics, punks, normal people. And then there was him, Blaine. At which group did Blaine actually belong? Blaine was not in school for a second yet before he got pushed outside his thoughts and against the lockers. The pain went right through his body, but he was used to it and he didn't even seem to notice the pain.
He walked to his locker as quickly as possible, dropped his books and took his gym clothes. 'Yeah, Gym' he muttered a little bit too loud. Another boy suddenly started laughing which scared Blaine really badly, he looked and saw a new boy standing less than 10 centimeters away from him. He had blond hair and blue eyes. Really beautiful blue eyes! NO BLAINE! FORGET IT! 'Nigel' the boy said shyly, while reaching out his hand. Blaine, who never talks to kids his age, had to collect all of his courage to say at least one thing. 'I'm B-b-l-a-i-n-n-e, a-are you n-new he-here? I never s-saw you be-before.' Nigel didn't answer. He just stared at Blaine. Blaine soon saw that he was looking at him without any shame. A smile even reached his face. Blaine suddenly turned even shyer and quickly walked away without saying anything.
Blaine was confused. Who was this weird guy and why didn't he answer? Why did he look so weird at me? Am I wearing something wrong? Is my hair ugly? Blaine is really insecure about his hair. His dad had forbidden him to wear hair gel this morning, but he couldn't care less at the moment. He walked to the toilets that were the most close by and put some gel on his hands.
At that exact moment a girl walked out of one of the toilets. They looked discomforted at each other. 'Did I take the wrong door or are you not supposed to be here?' The girl asked arrogantly. Another girl walked into the toilet and burst out into laughter. 'Hahahaha! Blaine, what are you doing here?' Blaine started blushing and walked to the gym as quickly as possible. Too bad for the gel, it will come some other time.
There we're all new kids in gym class and Blaine was nervous about what to expect. He was playing with his gloves nervously when the other boys came in. They ignored Blaine and changed their clothes quickly. Blaine heard there voices but didn't know how to react to them. 'Why couldn't the break be longer?' He heard a red-haired boy say. 'Have you seen that chic from 3b?' A slightly darker boy said. It was just then when the other boys noticed Blaine sitting in the corner, and they all started laughing at once. 'Wh-what's w-wrong?' Blaine asked. 'What are you doing here? The girls-room is next door! Why is this kid at our school?' This we're the last words Blaine heard before everything turned black. One of the boys had hit him with his book. They locked Blaine in the toilet, and quickly came up with a plan to ruin his live. Soon everybody was ready and they ran off to the gymnasium. Except for Blaine, he stayed behind, alone. Locked in the toilets, unconscious.
'Sir, Blaine is sick. He said he preferred not going to gym today.' 'Thank you Joost, too bad he can't be here for the first lesson.' The gym teacher said disappointed. Joost sat back on the bench and listened to what the teacher wanted to tell before the lesson started.
Blaine woke up with a big headache. He couldn't move. It feels like he's paralyzed. He's scared. He's hurt, can't see anything and he's hurt, hurt really badly. He hears noises and starts to scream. 'HEEEEELLLUP! I'm here! In the toilet! Come save me please!' The sound got louder en Blaine started to hope. He saw someone in the doorway, but he couldn't recognize him immediately. Everything moved around him. But he recognizes the voice. 'Blaine are you oke?' 'Nigel?' 'Yes, it's me. Come on I will bring you to the nurse.' Blaine didn't hesitate and tried to get up, but that didn't work out immediately. Nigel helped him up and with an arm around Nigels shoulders Blaine walked out of the changing room.
At the nurse Blaine had to explain everything. 'Why we're you locked in the toilets? Who did this to you?' The nurse looked like a nice woman and Blaine almost told her everything, but he didn't. He was quiet while the nurse put a plaster over his wound and a bandage around his bruised arm, which was because of the throwing him in to the toilet.
They walked out of the nurse office together and went to sit in the aula. It was quiet, until Nigel looked up straight into Blaine's eyes and said: 'Blaine, I don't know what happened exactly in the changing room but I do know that it must have been very bad. Je we're locked up in the toilets after all!' Nigel took a break and tried to control himself again. 'I just want to tell you that I'm proud of you. I don't know you but I do already know that you're a special person. You don't deserve this. You deserve a good life. A friend or maybe a friend.' With the last friend Nigel didn't mean a friend to talk to and play with after school. But a boyfriend friend. Someone you want to share everything with. Someone who means everything for you. Nigel thougt Blaine deserved that. And after the last sentence he leaned in and kissed Blaine's blue lips. Blaine was shocked and walked away. Not quickly, but slowly, slow enough for Nigel to walk in to him.
'Blaine! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, but I meant everything I just said' Blaine turned around and walked back, a bit quicker than 2 seconds ago. Back by Nigel he wrapped his arms around the slightly bigger Nigel and let the tears flow over his face. What was happening? Did he just have his first kiss? Would Nigel want to be with him? 'Do you want to be with me?' Blaine asked meaningful and misunderstanding. He really wanted to know the answer. 'Yes absolutely!' Nigel was talking loudly and didn't even try to quiet his voice down. 'You're the only thing that I've thought of since I met you this morning. You're the boyfriend of my dreams.' Blaine had to laugh, but it was clear he didn't mean to laugh. He laughed because he thought that Nigel was joking with him, and he didn't want to look stupid. 'I mean it Blaine.' That's the only thing that's coming out of Nigel's mouth when he walks away. Where he's going? Blaine didn't have a clue.
The last two lessons we're just regular. At math they did a quiz and Blaine had been on top in the end list. He has always been good in math, never learned, never cared, but he was good at it. After math he had French. In that class we're a few people from the gym-class, but he tried to ignore them. They had an unexpected test at the first day. Luckily Blaine still knew what they had learned last year and he got an A+, but you couldn't say that for the rest of the class.
For today he would skip glee-club. He was tired and wanted to go home.
Blaine didn't see Nigel again for the rest of the day and he didn't like that. He wanted to tell him that he wanted to be with him too. After that kiss he couldn't think of anything else during the day. He even forgot about the things that happened in the changing room earlier that day. He walked to his locker and found a note:
06: 845789247
-Xxx- Nigel
Blaine immediately took his Phone and saved the number in his phone. He sent Nigel a text:
16.20
From: Blaine
To: Nigel
Thank you! Now you have my number too.
-Xxx- Blaine
Blaine didn't get an immediate answer and decided to go home. He got on his bike and went home. His car broke down after he had borrowed it to his dad. Blaine still gets mad and feels the pain when he thinks of it. He hears his phone beeping and stops.
16.30
From: Nigel
To: Blaine
I really meant it Blaine. Do you please want to be with me?
-Xxx- Nigel
Blaine immediately sent back a text.
16.31
From: Blaine
To: Nigel
Absolutely! See you tomorrow at my locker?
-Xxx- Blaine
Blaine got back on his bike feeling good. After 30 minutes he finally came home. He opened the door and got welcomed by his mom
'How was school today?' Miss Anderson asked her son, without even looking at him. 'Just a regular first day of school.' After he had said that he walked upstairs, he didn't want to tell his mom yet. He wanted to keep the surprise till dinner. His mom had always teased him if it was about being in love. That's why Blaine couldn't wait to tell his mom that he has finally fallen in love. After 16 years he finally has a boyfriend. He heard his phone beeping again and couldn't wait to read it. Too bad, it wasn't a text from Nigel. It's from Joost, Blaine still decided to read the message.
17.01
From: Joost
To: Blaine
Heej Blainey! We just wanted to say we're sorry! And you keep your mouth shut, otherwise we will take care that it will end less nicely next time.
Your 'friends'
Blaine was angry, not scared, angry. He started to punch his boxing ball angry en quickly became peaceful again. He had a headache and couldn't think. Thinking of school had kept him up all night yesterday, he just needed to sleep for a while. He quickly fell asleep, but woke up again when his mom called him: 'Blaine! Come lay the table. We're going to eat! It's 19.00 already!' Blaine jumped out of bed en ran down happily. He quickly laid the table. The faster I do this, the faster I can tell the good news, he thought. 'Blaine, you should put an extra plate on the table. Your uncle is eating with us tonight.' Blaine grabbed an extra plate. He didn't like his uncle. All he could do was complain and nothing was ever good enough.
Ten minutes later his uncle came in yelling for Blaine. He threw his jacket to him like he was a hall stand and Blaine angrily threw the jacket on the ground. Blaine walked inside and went to sit on the table. 'Mom, dad, I want to tell you….' But Blaine got interrupted by his uncle. 'Bluh! Who made this! It's not possible to eat! So grose! Blaine turn on the TV, there's something important coming up.' Blaine stood up annoyed, after getting some confirming looks from his parents. He turned on the TV and gave the remote to his uncle. Who turned it to the new immediately.

Blaine ignored the news and wanted to tell it again. He wanted to tell about his boyfriend and his first kiss with Nigel and how it felt. 'Mom, dad, what I wanted to say….' But again he couldn't finish his sentence. 'Shhhhh! I can't hear it. Shut up! You can talk in your own time.' Uncle Max turned the volume to 40 and still tried real hard to hear everything, while Blaine was absolutely sure that the neighbors could hear every single word clearly.
Blaine waited till after dinner, when his dad was laying on the cough and his mom and uncle we're doing the dishes. He just screamed it: 'Mom, dad I'm in love with a boy in school! And we're together! And we've kissed! And we've…' Blaine could go on for another while but he was interrupted. 'WHAT!' they all said at the same time. Blaine was shocked. He hadn't expected this reaction at all. What was wrong? Did he say something wrong? Blaine's dad stood up and went to stand in front of him. One moment Blaine was still standing and the next he as on the ground, his nose bleeding, probably broken. He was hurt but he wanted to stay strong. He stood up and saw his dad running upstairs. He was scared. He looked at his mom and uncle. His uncle was pinning a knife in the table while his mom was only staring at him. Disappointment, yes that was what her eyes we're saying. And as if it wasn't already clear to Blaine these words would make it: 'Why Blaine? Why do you have to do this to us? Why can't you just have a nice girlfriend? Why…?' Blaine is shocked. He sees blood on his mother's stomach. His uncle has stopped pinning the knife into the table and pinned it into her stomach. Blaine ran away, looking for his phone. He had to call an ambulance.
'C-come to my hou-house. Blainestreet 2468. B-be q-quick!'
After he had said this he hang up. He couldn't talk, not now, not after what he had seen. He walked down carefully. He didn't want his uncle to hear him. He knew his father had already left. When he looked into the living room he saw that his uncle had left too. Then he saw his mom, she wasn't unconscious anymore. Although Blaine knows his mom doesn't want to see him now, he walks up to his mom. He takes a towel en puts some water on it. He places it on her head, another one is placed on her stomach. His mother is laughing at him, but she doesn't mean it. This was it, Blaine thinks. This was the good time with my mom. She doesn't love me anymore and it's my entire fault.
