Hey guys!

Sorry for the huge delay - I finally found a really awesome beta (Amelia, I love you, darling!) so I will have her go over my chapters before I actually post my horrid stuff! To be honest, I only asked for one because when I tried to post a story earlier, I got a 'This story sucks' review. Admittedly, I wasn't very fond of it myself, but I was honestly shocked and hurt that someone would actually write that publicly! So, guys, here's the downlow - if you wanna tell me that something is terribly wrong and have no idea how to do it nicely on the site, please email me at - otherwise, please refrain! Reviews are most definitely welcome, but I will NOT hesitate to report your comments if they are offensive to me!

That being said, I would like to warn you that the first installment of my 'huge' (I really have no idea how long the chapters will be) novel will be anything but sweet and cuddly. Yes, I will try to enliven it a bit so you won't go all sobby on me (I know I hate it with fanfiction that I love, ahem 'Go Your Own Way', ahem 'Little Numbers', 'The Sidhe')... so I WILL try and make this light at times, but mostly it will be heavy stuff that Blainers experiences.

Now, to fully explain what the heck I'm doing here since the prologue probably gave you a sence of 'what the fuck is she doing?' so here goes: This is a four-part story depicting Blaine's experiences in high school. The first part is Freshman Year and the rest of the succeeding parts are the rest of his high school years - trust me, I am NOT looking forward to senior year... poor Blainers.

Anyway! I really hope you enjoy this! Since in the beginning of the upcoming week I'll be the busiest bee in the hive and it's the second week of the last semester (Yay for finishing college) and last week we had strike plus Purim (Jewish sucky equialent to Halloween... ha! I love Halloween so much better!) then it's most probable that I will only post the second chapter around the 18th of March... no promises... I really hope I will be able to do more, because HOLY HELL is that chapter good! (In my opinion - God, I really let myself... ok, spoilers. sorry!)

I really hope you enjoy this!

Chapter 1

Blaine woke up with a start, for a moment completely disoriented and with no clue where he was.

He was lying on his back, in a bed.

He looked up and saw a vaguely familiar ceiling with glow-in-the-dark stickers of the moon and a few stars scattered around it sporadically.

He yawned and stretched languidly before sitting up in the bed and looking around the room, finally breaking free of his sleep-induced haze and recognizing it as his own bedroom.

He glanced at the alarm clock on his bedside table and groaned – 6:30 AM – he should start getting ready if he wanted to make it on time for first period. Another glance at his calendar informed him that it was the 1st of September, 2009.

His first day as a freshman in high school.

Blaine immediately perked up and hurried to his en-suite bathroom to get ready for the day. Shucking off this pajama pants, he turned on the tap of the shower, adjusting the temperature of the water. He stepped inside and felt the warm water almost immediately take over his body in a swooping relaxing sensation, leaving his mind almost entirely devoid of previous thoughts and rendering his bones so pliable it was as if he had just stepped out of a massage session.

He dried his hair thoroughly and finally stood straight to look at the mirror that was mounted above the sink.

Gazing at his reflection, Blaine couldn't help but be slightly disappointed. He had rather hoped that, over the summer, something would change about his features –that he might see something that would serve as evidence to the change he felt.

But, to him, he looked no n the different and boring as ever.

His eyes still hadn't decided whether they are green or brown, annoying him to no end, since he always thought that it made him a freak in the eyes of his peers.

His curly hair was still unruly and clamped on his forehead without his usually generously-applied helmet of gel. He tentatively raised his fingers to pull at a stray lock of curs and frowned as he watched it spring bouncily in front of his face. He hated using gel to smother and constrict his mop of curly hair, as he constantly referred to it, but what other choice did he have? If he let his hair roam free and loose, he knew people would make fun of him forever – not that they didn't do so already – and he knew that he would simply be sporting a bouncy multi-legged octopus on his head.

Finally, he decided that he's berated his appearance enough and should go back to getting ready, otherwise he most definitely will be late, and that was simply unacceptable to Blaine Anderson.


As he was waiting in the bus station for the school bus, his thoughts drifted and settles on the dream that had startled him awake that very morning.

He sighed as he remembered all that had transpired last year – the way his mother reacted when he told her; the way his father yelled at him; the way Cooper simply stared at him with no expression whatsoever in those blank eyes. He could distinctly recall the utter shock and humiliation following the display in the hallway and he had to blink several times to prevent the tears from slipping down his face.

He desperately, and maybe naively so, hoped that it would blow off over the summer and, therefore, he decided to try and move on, put it all behind him.

When the bus arrived, Blaine took a deep breath, adjusted his bow-tie with a final flourish, and walked to the yellow vehicle, stepping inside once the doors pulled open for him.


As he stood at the front of the bus, his stomach churned with fear and disappointment at the scene that unfolded before him.

Every single person that had graduated with him from middle school was there, and it was very clear that the summer did not make them forget what happened last year.

Evan eyed him with disgust, slinging an arm around his girlfriend's shoulder.

Lucy huffed and turned her face towards the window, blatantly ignoring Blaine.

Blaine tried and not let this sight get the better of him – his two best friends since kindergarten, together now for almost a year, ignoring him – and tried to find a seat.

Finally, he saw an opening besides Geoffrey, who used to be the class' book-worm. However, just as Blaine approached him, Geoffrey placed his bag on the seat beside him and gave Blaine a cold look.

"Can't I sit there?" Blaine asked quietly.

"Sorry. Taken."
Blaine bit his lip, "But… mine was the last stop. No one is going to come."

Geoffrey just sat there, eyeing Blaine with that same cold stare, "You still can't sit here."
Trying his best to ignore the glares he felt on his back, Blaine turned around carefully and faced the front, trying his best not to trip at each turn that the bus took and stood the entire way till they reached the high school.


*sigh*

I know! I know! It's short! Ugh!

But I honestly couldn't bring myself to write any more without just giving you the entire story! That would be weird, sucky, and totally ruin the dynamic rhythm I had planned for this thing (woah - dynamic rhythm? Really? Ok, this exam revision is getting waaaaaaaay too much into my skin)...

I would also like to apologize on behalf of my immune system for the lack of updating. This Monday I got sick, and I'm only now (Friday-Saturday) recovering... for some reason during classes when I was like 'ughhh can't listen to this teacher, my head is killing me' I was able to write this... so I really hope that my sickiness doesn't show! :)

Can't wait to show you next chapter!

Love,
