Hey there! I'm the author of this little fanfiction. I've never done this before so any reviews, good or bad would be amazing. I love the idea of this particular story so I thought I would give it a shot. I don't know how long I'm wanting it to be but I want it to hopefully be at least 10 chapters maybe even longer, especially if people are liking the story. I'm going to try and update as much as I can. I'm currently living in China and will be for the next month and my internet connection is sketchy but I will do my best to update as much as possible. So I hope you enjoy my first tale!
(I do not own glee but I seriously wish I did)
The odds of Blaine Anderson's first day in a new school going well, especially since he wasn't even from Lima, Ohio, were not very high. Of all the times for his family to move from Indiana, to Ohio of all places, why did they have to pick his senior year of high school? He had always known that his dad would one day get promoted at his job but he was hoping that it would be after he graduated before that happened. He straightened his bow tie as he started walking from the parking lot into the building that would be his home for the next year. He already stuck out like a sore thumb. One big thing about McKinley High School he could already tell, were the cliques. He could see a great big blob of letterman jackets and it didn't take a genius to figure out that those were indeed the jocks. He worked his eyes around the courtyard and saw girls in cheerleading uniforms, kids with their nose stuck in books, people skateboarding around and a small group of kids that had a little bit of everyone at their table. None of them seemed to be talking but they were sitting as if they did this every day. Some of them were even holding hands and others were avoiding eye contact with others at the table. Maybe the cliques didn't matter as much as he assumed they did? Maybe they're not friends? He wasn't going to focus too much on it before he even knew where his classes were. He gripped onto his backpack and headed inside.
Two years it had been since Kurt Hummel had transferred from Dalton Academy and though he loved his friends and life here at McKinley, he couldn't lie and say that he didn't miss Dalton occasionally. Their no bullying policy mixed with the Warblers, the Dalton glee club, his life there was amazing. He'd probably still be there if it weren't for the horrible economy and his dad not being to afford the tuition on such a small salary; though that's not to say that Kurt was poor. His dad made a comfortable living for himself, Kurt, his step mom, Carol and his step brother, Finn. They had a nice house where everyone had their own room and Kurt still had a nice closet to fit all of his designer clothes in, thank goodness! However, every time he sat at the table in the courtyard with all of his glee club friends, there was never a doubt in his mind that he loved it here. He had the greatest time of his life at this school. Sure, he got thrown in dumpsters and got slushies' in his face and yes, being the only openly gay kid at school was a death wish, but he had great friends that were with him through everything. It was kind of crazy being in glee club with this group of people but there was never a dull moment. This morning was kind of quiet. It was the first day of school and no one was exactly thrilled to be back. The New Directions, the glee club here at McKinley, came in 12th place in the National Show Choir Championship last June and because of that, no one was exactly standing in line to audition for glee club. The New Directions were all looking around the courtyard in hopes of finding someone to join. Always the same familiar faces; the jocks, the cheerleaders, the skaters, the bookworms. It never changed…until today. Kurt thought he saw someone he didn't recognize walk into the school.
His mother had suggested that he come to the school a few days early to find his classes and learn his way around which Blaine had refused. He didn't think it should be too difficult to find his way. He was wrong. Every hallway looked the same and when he thought he found the right room, it just seemed to be a room that was empty or not currently in use. He was so glad he came early to the school because it took him 20 minutes just to find his locker. School started in 5 minutes and he was lost. He wouldn't say horribly lost because he found the bathroom next to his locker 3 times in the last 10 minutes. He couldn't be more pleased to have a bathroom so close to him at all times just in case his hair gel or his tie was having problems during the day. While trying to find his class, he noticed more about how the school goes. He got shoved to the side more times than he can count by people who were in a rush to get to class, he saw a couple making up of a really tall jock and a very short girl not ashamed to show that they were in a relationship and a boy in some of the best clothes he'd ever seen in his life standing at a locker. He was wearing white skinny jeans with tall black boots matched with a long sleeve white shirt under a black vest. Marc Jacobs, maybe? No, Blaine thought, You are not going to make it known that you are gay until you know for sure how the school is with gays. Apparently they weren't very accepting of it. Because just after Blaine had this thought, a guy bigger and taller than himself, came by and shoved the nicely dressed boy into a locker and said, "Watch where you're going, fag!" He didn't know what to do. He had never seen someone do something just like that in the middle of a crowded hallway and get away with it so he just stood there in shock. The nicely dressed boy stood up and wiped himself off and shrugged it off as if he were used to this. The boy looked at Blaine gave a small smile and walked away. He didn't know his name but if he was kind enough to smile at a stranger then maybe this wouldn't be such a bad year after all. Though that thought quickly left his mind as he finally found and entered his first class of senior year. Oh great, he thought, math.
Kurt was used to being pushed and shoved around. He was also very used to the fact that no one does anything about it. So when Dave Karofsky came by, shoved him into a locker and called him a fag, you can say he wasn't terribly surprised. What did surprise him though, was the face he didn't recognize standing close by staring at him. He must be new if he's actually staring at something like this. Kurt was looking at this new boy and wondered if after seeing his style, this boy was gay too. He was wearing a red button up shirt that was tucked into his blue capris pants with red lace up shoes and a blue bow tie to match his pants. Kurt might have thought that this new boy was just very fashionable if it hadn't been for the large amounts of hair gel in this boys' hair. He wasn't going to assume but if he were, he would definitely say that this boy was gay. Even so, Kurt knew what it was like to be the new guy in school so he gave the boy an encouraging smile and walked the other direction. Kurt was sure he would see this boy again but he wasn't going to immediately go up and talk to him. He'd like to give the boy some time before people assumed him to be gay for talking to the gay kid and started shoving him just as they do to Kurt. I'll give it a few days before I introduce myself. That will give him time to adjust a little before anyone scares him away. Kurt couldn't think about that now. He had transferred here just before the end of sophomore year, when his dad, Burt, married Carol. Ever since he came to McKinley, he felt better about the classes because they weren't as difficult. This school didn't have the reputation to uphold that Dalton did so the classes weren't as challenging. This was very good for Kurt because math was something that he always struggled with even before Dalton so he was surprised when he found out that he could take Calculus this year. He walked into the classroom and sat in his favorite spot in any class, the back. He was pleasantly surprised to see the boy he just smiled at walk into the classroom, give a piece of paper to the teacher and come and sit down next to him.
It was an awkward silence between the two of them. Blaine was shifting uncomfortably in his seat as if he wanted to say something but didn't know what. While Kurt was trying to listen to what the teacher was saying so as not to break the vow to himself about speaking to the new kid for a couple of days. The class went over pretty well in the learning sense but not very well for the students in the class. They looked overwhelmed already at the massive work load that the teacher warned them they would be getting the next day. Between unpacking, trying to find a club to join and not knowing anything about Ohio, Blaine thought for sure that his life here at McKinley was going to suck. Between glee club and his personal life, Kurt knew that he was going to have plenty of time to do this enormous amount of homework as his personal life didn't take up much time if it wasn't over text. The New Directions were his friends but aside from the occasional visit to the Lima Bean, a local coffee place, he really didn't do anything with them. And there was only one person that he talked to constantly from Dalton and it was his old best friend. They tried to meet up with each other but they were so far away from each other that their relationship was basically a texting one. The bell rang to signal the end of class but before either of them could leave, Blaine stopped Kurt in his tracks.
"Excuse me. I'm new here. My name's Blaine."
Blaine extended his hand when he introduced himself. Kurt looked at it and sighed and decided that introducing himself to this new boy, Blaine, wouldn't cause too much of a problem. He put his hand in Blaine's; "Kurt."
This was kind of a short chapter but I wanted to see how it went over with everyone first. I really hope you enjoyed it and any feedback you all have for me would be greatly appreciated. As the story goes on, the different POV's will be less and less as Blaine and Kurt grow closer. The chapters will also get longer. On the next chapter; stay tuned as Blaine adjusts to life at McKinley, life at home and the friendships he thought he had made. While we also get to learn about the mysterious best friend from Dalton Academy.
