Dave awoke early the next morning, in a room he didn't recognise, he was lying naked in a 4 poster bed, the room was dark blue, almost black, with poster on the walls of bands he didn't recognise. In one corner was a selection of guitars, and a couple of drumsticks. He hesitated to look at the boy lying next to him, who was still asleep, and last night came flashing back, he silently crept out of bed, grabbed his clothes and left.
The Friday, and the weekend passed and he hadn't seen or heard from the mysterious stranger, but he couldn't stop thinking about him.
Monday morning came around as Dave entered the school grounds William McKinley high, he returned to the school 6 weeks when he was re-recruited for the football team. As he walked towards the school he noticed someone in the distance who looked familiar, but didn't think anything of it, as he walked to his first class. It was only at lunch that he saw Justin's face and didn't feel so hungry anymore, and walked out of the cafeteria. What he didn't realise was that Justin followed behind him. Dave walked to his locker to prepare for his next lesson and when closed his locker door he found himself right into Justin's eyes.
"I'm not used to that, you know" Justin said with an annoyed tone in his voice
"Used to what?"
"People walking out on me"
Justin turned to walk away, but Dave grabbed his arm and said "Sorry, I didn't know what to do" he then looked around to see if anyone was watching "people don't know about me here, and I would like to keep it that way"
Justin pulled his arm free of Dave's hand and said "What are you scared of?"
Dave was silent as Justin walked away.
What Dave didn't know was Blaine was watching from his locker, and was wondering what was going on. Blaine closed his locker door and walked towards Dave
"Dave, who was that? Is everything okay?"
"Everything's fine. Why wouldn't it be?"
"Are you sure? If you need to talk me and Kurt will be here for you"
"Thanks, but I'm okay" he said before he walked away
Blaine then slightly confused turned and headed to the choir room.
Blaine took his usual seat next to Kurt and said "I think something's up with Dave, I saw him talking to a new guy, there seem to be some tension between them"
Just at that moment Mr Schue walked in saying "Right guys, we've got someone new auditioning for the New Directions…"
Kurt turns to Blaine and said "I think we're about Dave's new friend"
"…New Directions meet Justin Harkness-Jones"
"Hi, guys. I'm Justin, I'm from Wales, and I'm gonna sing a song called 'Swing Life Away'" he picks up an acoustic guitar grabs a chair and starts singing. The whole room goes quiet.
As he playing the last few notes the Glee Club give him a round of applause, he stands up and puts the guitar down and says "So, am I in?" with the Harkness grin.
Mr Schue, looks at the Glee Club then back at him "I think so, take a seat"
Justin takes a seat next Rachel and gives her a cheeky wink, to which Blaine is suspicious.
After some songs, some arguments and some fun, the Glee Club exit the Choir room and head their next classes, but Justin is pulled aside by Finn. "What do you think you're playing at, hitting on my girlfriend?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't realise she was taken, but my bed's big enough for three" he replied with a wink
Finn accepts the lame hearted apology and walks off.
As Justin starts walking to class, he hears his name being called, he turns around to see Blaine walking towards him, who recognises from Glee Club, and waits for him to catch up.
"I think you're in my next class, math with Mr Gryfeth"
"Yeah, lead the way"
As they are walking to class Blaine tries to have a conversation with Justin. "So, you're from Wales?"
"err…yeah"
"Awesome, I've always wanted to go, there's a lot of sheep there, right? I love sheep"
"Yeah, there are sheep in Wales, there are sheep in America as well right?
"Yeah, but they're not as fluffy"
Justin gives Blaine a weird look but carries on walking, and changes the subject "So I see you're with that Kurt guy"
"Yeah we've been together 8 months. I used to go a different school but, transferred here to be with him"
"So you two are defiantly off limits then?"
Blaine awkwardly laughs "Yeah, we're pretty committed"
They reach their classroom, and Blaines offers Justin the seat next to him.
"So what is it with you? Gay, Bi?" Blaine asks
"What is it with you people always wanting to put yourself into categories?"
"The reason I asked is because I saw how you were with Rachel, and I saw you with Dave Karofsky earlier, how do you know him?"
"What do you know about Dave?"
"Well, me Kurt know what he's been through, and why he transferred to another school at the beginning of the year"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, he had a tough year last year and wasn't sure if could come back"
"What happened?"
"I don't think I should tell you. If you really want to know ask him"
Just then the teacher told them to stop talking, and they got with the lesson.
After school, Dave finds a note under his window wiper saying
Dave,
I think we need to talk.
Meet me at the mall at 5:00
