Chapter 2

Blaine coughed once again before setting his bag down beside him and asking the guy at the piano to start playing.

Blaine let in a deep breath before he belted out with the song.

"I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know

(Some - where)

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know."

Blaine finished with a warm flush in his cheeks watching how everyone seemed to just be staring at him how he had just started singing like that and everything.

Finally, Mr Schuester clapped and everyone else joined in standing to applaud Blaine even more, even Kurt who thought that it was really amazing that someone as tall and scrawny as he was could sing as well as he did.

"Welcome to the glee club Blaine" Mr Schue said before allowing Blaine to sit down and he did, picking up his bag first off before sitting beside Kurt who smiled at him before facing the front again.

"Okay, guys. This week I want you to start thinking about original songs. Songs that mean something important to you, and I don't mean something about your headband or being an only child, Rachel" Mr Schue said making everyone except Blaine and Rachel laugh at Rachel's failed attempts at writing a song.

"Well I was thinking about something else, we could sing about at Regionals" Rachel stood jumping to the front of the class just like every other day.

"Oh great" Kurt mumbled and Blaine had to stop himself from laughing at how annoyed he looked about this Rachel girl, she must do this all the time, he mused to himself as Rachel started to speak.

"Well as many of you may know except Blaine as he has just joined us" Rachel smiled at him like she hadn't been annoyed at him only moments ago before continuing "Sue Sylvester has been treating us like dirt ever since glee club started back up and she really shouldn't be getting away with all this Religions stuff."

"So what do you suggest Rachel? That we sing a song directed at Sue showing how much we hate her or something?" Kurt asked and Rachel jumped up and down, obviously she hadn't been thinking that at all.

"No but that's why we love you, Kurt. You always come up with the best ideas" Mercedes rolled her eyes at these words before allowing Rachel to continue, it was obvious that Rachel wanted to do something completely different this time at Religions so they would win, maybe.

"I think we should sing this song I was writing the other night. It's called Loser Like Me. We have had to put up with a lot from Sue so this is our chance to say something to..."

Mercedes stood actually argeing with Rachel for once.

"something like Hell to the no..." She said pointing out what they should say to Sue.

"Exactly" Rachel squealed running over and hugging Mercedes before quickly running back to the front.

"So I'll run off the lyrics tonight and hand them out at tomorrow's meeting. And Blaine, welcome to McKinley High."

The bell went for the end of the meeting and Blaine stood swinging his bag onto his shoulder before walking up to wait on Kurt who was talking to Finn about something. Eventually Kurt came over and walked Blaine out towards his next class which turned out to be the same as his, Spanish.

"So, that Rachel character, a bit of a drama queen, wouldn't you say?" Blaine asked as Kurt searched his bag on the walk over managing not to walk into anyone at all. He would have probably walked into about a million different people already.

"Yeah, but that's Rachel, she wants to be a big star someday and thinks glee is the best way to go about it so she does it to make her look like the best out of us all" Kurt looked up digging his Spanish book out of his bag just as one of the jocks at the school Karofsky blocked their way being an idiot as usual."

"Would you mind moving, Karofsky? This hall isn't for idiots like yourself so why don't you make like a tree and leave" Kurt said not even caring about the fact that Karofsky was staring at Blaine and not himself this time.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here, a spy from Dalton, walking right into enemy territory, No-one wants you here loser" Karofsky laughed at how Blaine seemed to wince here at the word Dalton.

"What's wrong, Dalton boy, is Dalton getting too much for you. Is that why Dalton boy wanted to leave Dalton."

Each mention of the name Dalton made Blaine wince more and more before Karofsky leaned forward to Blaine and said.

"Well McKinley doesn't have to put up with crap from Dalton."

This seemed to have done something for there was fire in Blaine's eyes for a second before he leapt forward punching Karofsky in the middle.

"Shut up about me old school. Leave me alone and fuck off" With each punch, Blaine's voice got higher and higher before finally he snapped sounding like a mad bull getting tortured by a man pretending to wave the flag at him.

Karofsky seemed to back off for a moment before he pushed Blaine back knocking him into lockers.

"Look, weirdo, I don't know who you think you are but no-one punches me and gets away it."

"Oh yeah, you think you're some big person just cause you're on the football but I couldn't give a damn, to me you're just a piece of shit that no-one wants to go near. Yeah I said it."

Karofsky pulled back his hand ready to swing it forwards again just as Finn, Puck and Sam rounded the corner seeing Kurt, Blaine and Karofsky standing there, Kurt trying to pull Karofsky off of Blaine but to no avail.

"David!" Finn's voice rang through the empty hallway and he looked up seeing the three guys.

"Oh if it isn't the glee losers coming to pick up the trash. Well Dalton boy, you might get back there then."

David let him go and right away Blaine jumped forward only to be held back by Puck who ran forward grabbing him around the waist.

"Blaine, leave it alone, it's not worth it"

Finally, Blaine calmed down long enough for Puck to let go of him as David walked away trying to hold in a snigger at how stupid Blaine was being apparently.

"Blaine, are you mad?" Finn snapped out right away whilst in his hand was a pile of clothes, that was probably what Kurt was talking to him about, getting him some sort of normal clothes.

"I didn't like the fact that he kept on reminding me about my old school, jeez Finn" Right away everyone could tell that Blaine had done the wrong thing for Finn went to move forward but Kurt pushed him back.

"Finn, no, dad will have a fit if he finds out you are fighting" Kurt tried to explain whilst Finn evened his breathing out before finally being able to look at Blaine without wanting to tear his head off.

"Okay, here you go" Finn passed him the clothes and Blaine smiled thanking him before asking Kurt where he could before heading off for the bathroom saying he would see Kurt in Spanish, he knew he wasn't far away from it.

Walking into the bathroom, Blaine took his time examining everything from head to toe.

The graffiti on the walls, the toilet roll left from people being just down-right childish.

Walking into one of the stalls, Blaine began to change tucking his Dalton uniform into his shoulder bag just for good measure and adjusting the items of clothing he was wearing, light blue jeans which didn't cling to him, thank god he said to himself, he didn't really like clingy stuff and a grey t-shirt with the name of an unknown band on it.

Just as Blaine was about to walk out, he heard two people walk in before hearing Sam and Puck begin to speak.

"...I trust Kurt if he wants to be friends with the new kid but he looks like he's trying very hard to hide something, whenever Karofsky said Dalton, it was like someone was lashing him with a whip" Sam said like the two had been having a conversation before they had entered and were just continuing.

"I'm not sure but Sam, it does make sense as to why he doesn't really talk much apart from when Karofsky made him made. You remember when he auditioned, he was like a little lost puppy and holding onto Kurt's hand like nobody's business. I know Kurt is gay and everything, he screams it but this Blaine guy seems to fit in just a little bit too well with Kurt's life no matter what Finn may say" Retorted Puck obviously trying to point out a very good point or apparently thought Blaine as he sat on the toilet seat thinking about what he had just heard.

Sam and Puck thought he was no good well for Kurt at least, oh god, Blaine put his hands on his head, this was starting out to be like his old school all over again.

They had said nobody was bullied in Dalton but what the hell did anyone know, Blaine tried to block out the next words but found himself listening in anyway.

"I know Blaine is new and everything but that still doesn't mean that he can just take Kurt and be the one he wants. Who knows what Kurt wants though, I mean he liked Finn, he liked you and now this Blaine seems to have something amazing about him." Puck's voice seemed to go up a bit when he said the word amazing, obviously stating how sarcastic he was being.

"Yeah but listen Puck, Kurt hasn't had someone like that in his life like we do, he even tried to pretend to be straight to his dad, remember he told us and now this whole thing is just going great, just leave it be"

Puck seemed to nod as Sam sighed glad that he would leave it alone.

"Thank you" Sam said before slapping Puck on the back and heading out of the bathroom leaving Puck and Blaine alone. Blaine still inside the stall too scared to move until Puck was gone for then it would look like he was listening in which was what he had been doing but he didn't need anyone else to know this.

Blaine sighed when after a few seconds, Puck left too and he unlocked the latch walking out to see his reflection in the mirror.

His cheeks were rosy red for listening into the conversation about him and Kurt but he also looked white as he couldn't believe that some people especially one's like Puck and Sam whom he had thought were nice enough were talking bad about him.

Giving one final sigh, Blaine turned from the mirror heading out of the bathroom and along to what he had hoped would be the best day at a new school.

Then again, maybe not.
