So I kind of got really excited because of all the story alerts and wrote this on the way to class this morning. I apologize if it's incoherent since I haven't had any sleep last night. Tell me what you think, the reviews I got really made my day.
I forgot this in the last chapter. I don't own Glee. If I did, it'd be full of klisses since I can never get enough.
If this was the first time this happened, he would have been really tired, really down or maybe even nostalgic. But unfortunately it wasn't. It was more or less, a routine. He actually didn't care anymore. So what if he's starting at a new school? It wasn't the first time and knowing his father's job, it won't be the last. He will blend in the shadows as always, slowly counting down the time till he goes to another school where everything is just the same but with different faces.
They were always the same masks. The girls who are insecure with a lot of makeup and guys who pretend to care enough to survive whichever hellhole they're in.
He knew this time was going to be bit different though, it was Lima, Ohio. An extremely small town that's completely closed up on itself. He looked it up online before they moved there and it made him wished he hadn't. The popular headlines that came up were far from comforting.
"Teenage gay boy commits suicide"
"Girl beaten to death found with the word Dyke written on her forehead with her own blood"
Yes, Blaine Anderson was gay and to say that he's scared shitless would be the understatement of the year. It was far from the normal first day jitters, he was going to bullied and he knew it. He was short with untamed curly hair and black rimmed glasses. Usually he attracted no attention and he just kept to himself but he knew that being the new kid in a school in a small town like Lima would make things harder anyways.
Finally he reached the school. It looked normal. Of course it's normal; it wasn't going to be a school out of a horror movie. He heads to the main entrance and enters the school; surprisingly it looks kind of good. Not what he had pictured it at all.
As always though, he's completely lost. He has no idea where the principal's office is and as always he hates asking. You'd think that all this moving around would have helped him gain some social skills but what happened was far from that. After the 4th or 5th move, he became introverted and really shy. If he didn't have to talk he avoided it completely and social interactions always left him with clammy hands and the a claustrophobic feeling. Sadly though he realizes that he has to ask someone sooner or later and that's when he sees him.
The boy in front of him was simply beautiful. He was taller than him, that was definite. He had porcelain skin that made him look fragile but had the posture of someone who is fierce. His clothes were up to the latest trend and his hair was obviously well cared for with a good amount of products in it.
Snapping out of his daze, he decides to go up to him to ask directions to the principal's office.
"Umm hi, I'm n-new here. C-could you please t-tell me where the principal's office i-is?" He stammers out, quiet used to his own stuttering by now when talking to people he didn't know.
The boy looks up and that's when he notices it all. The sadness in his eyes, the bags under them and most of all, how he seems to have lost a lot of weight in a very short amount of time. By the time he realized he was staring, the boy was giving him a weird look of annoyance.
Just the perfect way to start his first day.
"I'm s-sorry, could you p-please tell me again?" Blaine asked, blushing so much. This has never happened to him before.
"It's okay, calm down." The boy said kindly. "Just go down the hall, it's the second door on your left. Do you want me to come with you?"
Blaine was shocked, simple as that. He didn't expect the boy to be so calm and certainly not kind. He must have been silent for a while because the next thing he knew, the boy was extending his hand.
"I'm Kurt." He said with a smile. "C'mon, let's get you to the principal's office so you won't be late to your first class"
Blaine couldn't understand why the boy, oh Kurt, was so nice to him.
"B-b-blaine" He muttered. But Kurt smiled very warmly and it was a really nice smile. Suddenly all Blaine could think about while walking with Kurt to the principal's office is how to make him smile like that again.
Maybe just this once, he might have a friend at this school. This thought was enough to form his lips into a very small smile. Something he hasn't done in years.
