Chapter One

Kurt Hummel walked arm in arm with Mercedes Jones into the Lima Mall. Mercedes was giggling hysterically at something Kurt had just said. "So where are we gonna hit up first?" she asked her fashionable friend. "Well, we have to go to Starbucks. I told Blaine I'd meet him there." Kurt replied. Mercedes rolled her eyes. "I thogught hat this was going to be our day!" she whined. "It is, but I was talking to Blaine and he said he wanted to come." Kurt said putting his hands on his hips. They walked into Starbucks. The chic coffee shop was busy as usual."We might as well order something as long as we're here."she said. Kurt nodded and ordered a pumpkin spice latte and Mercedes got a frozen decaf coffee. They found a small table and sat down. Kurt pulled a silver iPad out of his satchel and set it down on the table. "OHmygod Mercedes! Look at this seasons' Marc Jacobs collection!" he squealed. Mercedes looked intriguingly at her friend's iPad. Kurt felt a tap on his shoulder. He whipped around only to find his knight in hot pink Wayfarers; Blaine Anderson. Blaine smiled. "Hi Kurt, Mercedes." he said politely. "Hey Blaine." Mercedes mumbled. Kurt hugged his boyfriend. "Shall we?" he said, offering his hand out to Mercedes. She took it and grabbed her coffee. They walked out into the atrium. Kurt dropped his friend's hand. "Where should we go first?" Mercedes asked again. "Definitely not the Gap." Blaine chuckled. Mercedes rolled her eyes. "I guess it depends on what everyone needs." Kurt interjected. " I need new sunglasses."Blaine said maybe a little too loudly. "I need a few new dresses."Mercedes drawled. "I heard there's a sale going on at Prada." Kurt offered. Mercedes sighed. "Why don't we just go where we need to go then meet up afterwards?" she grumbled. Kurt and Blaine exchanged glances and shrugged. "Sure" they said simultaneously. The three split up and went in the directions of their destinations. Blaine stepped through the doors of the Sunglass Hut and made his way over to the Wayfarers. His hazel eyes found the perfect pair of shades. They had mirrored lenses and had baby pink frames with orange arms. Just as he reached for them, his hand touched another person's. He recoiled and looked at the girl. She had light brown hair and grey eyes. "Sorry." she said blushing. Blaine blushed too. "Here," he said handing the sunglasses to the girl. She blushed again. He eyes gazed down to her many shopping bags. She reached for her phone and looked at a a text. "I have to go." she said handing back the sunglasses. he took them and walked over tot he checkout. He handed the cashier his debit card and walked back out into the atrium. He sat on one of the benches and looked at his new glasses. His beautiful hazel eyes were reflected in the mirrored thought of the girl's mesmerizing grey eyes. Stop it Blaine! he thought.You're gay! Kurt walked out of Prada with his arms full of five shopping bags. "Blaine! They're having a sale on bowties!" he exclaimed. Blaine smiled sheepishly. Mercedes walked out of Sears empty handed. she strutted out and slumped down next to Blaine. "No dresses?" Kurt asked, obviously concerned. She nodded. "That's the fourth store I've checked!" she cried. "Oh cheer up Mercedes..Maybe fifth time's the charm." Blaine said. Kurt nodded in agreement. Mercedes glared at both of them. Blaine's thoughts drifted back tot the girl at the Sunglass Hut. His phone vibrated and snapped him back to reality. He took it out and looked at the screen. "Oh shoot! I just forgot! I have to meet Wes at the Lima Bean." he said before getting up. Kurt grabbed his boyfriend's hand and walked him out to Blaine's shiny BMW. He gave him a peck on the cheek and walked back into the mall. Blaine urned the key in the ignition and drove off to his house. the drive from the mall to home took maybe a half and hour. When he got home, nobody was there. He went into his room and flopped on the bed. He closed his eyes and was ready to doze off. His iPhone rang to Kurt singing 'Candles' at regionals. "Hello?" Blaine said into the phone. "Blaine, I just got home and I was wondering if you wanted to come and hang out." Kurt said. Blaine sighed. "I can't, my mom's making me go to a movie with her." he muttered. "What movie?" Kurt asked. "I'm not sure what it's called." Blaine said. Kurt laughed. "Kurt I-" Blaine started, but the line was dead. He tossed his phone by his pillow and lied back down. He fell asleep in an instant.
