Sofia was the first one out of the choir room after glee that day. She hadn't been able to bring herself to really say anything substantial to anyone, social awkwardness had reared it's ugly head so now she stood outside McKinely, a binder in her arms and a bookbag full of new textbooks, waiting for her mom, who was late.

"Sofia right?."

Having been completely immersed in her thoughts Sofia hadn't noticed Kurt walk up next to her and flinched when he spoke up.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you we weren't forally introduced, I'm Kurt Hummel" He extended his hand with a slight smile.

Sofia returned it and shook his hand before returning her arm to it's former place. "It's fine I was distracted, nice to meet you."

"So what on earth made you want to move here from Philadelphia?"

" I didn't, my dad for transferred so we had to come with him... I'm actually from a philly suburb so I didn't have the whole city living thing but I was close enough that I could drive there in 10 minutes without traffic."

"Oh you drive?"

"Yeah but we only have two cars so I can't really take either to school since both my parents work."

"So you must be a sophomore then, since you have your lisence, like Cameron!"

Sofia smiled again at the mention of that adorable awkward boy's name. Really, there was no other word to describe him, adorable... and awkward...awdward?

"Yep I'm a sophomore..." She looked away for a moment to scan the street for any sign that her mom was on her way but saw nothing so she turned her attention back to Kurt. "So what are you still doing here, I'm pretty sure everyone else left?" She asked.

"Honestly, you seemed a bit stuck up in there when you didnt say anything to anyone besides Mr. Schuester so I wanted to get the story. Well that and I'm waiting for my boyfriend."

Sofia's mouth dropped in surprise. "W- I mean, I'm not stuck up! I'm just shy, I cant just start talking to someone I dont know I get really anxious! Usually if I meet someone I have to either be introduced one on one or they have to come up to me..." She really took social awkwardness to another level. " I mean if you hadn't come up to me I eventually would have made the effor but I would have had to mentally prep myself at least a day beforehand."

Kurt raised his eyebrows as he looked at Sofia. "You're weird aren't you?"

"I like to call it peculiar."

"Huh..." He swept his hair to the side. "Blake, my boyfriend, and I were going to go to Breadstix tonight for dinner, you should come with us. Give me your number and I'll text you the address." Just then a car pulled up with a very, very attractive boy sitting in the drivers seat waving over in their direction. "That's Blake." said Kurt. "Look... its going to be a couple of hours before we go to dinner, why dont we give you a ride home that way you have some time to get changed and whatnot."

"I'd appreciate the ride since it seems my mom forgot... "Sofia responded as she followed Kurt to the car. "But I wouldn't want to impose on your date night."

"You won't be imposing." Kurt started as he and Sofia got into the car and turned to Blake. "Blake, this is Sofia she's new to McKinely and glee. Sofia, this is my boyfriend Blake. He goes to _."

The very very attractive boy, now known as Blake, looked at Sofia through his rearview mirror with a friendly smile as he put the car in gear and drove away from the school. "Nice to meet you!" He said with an equally attractive voice.

Sofia returned the smile and responded, "Nice to meet you too." before she was interrupted by Kurt.

"I invited her to Breadstix with us tonight but she's afraid she's going to impose. Please tell her it's not a problem." He told Blake.

"Oh not at all, you're more than welcome to join us!" Said Blake.

"We insist now you can't say no!" Continued Kurt as he turned in his seat to face Sofia who sat in the back. Sofia chuckled at his constant nagging and nodded in agreement.

Besides telling Blake his address she stayed fairly quiet the rest of the way home, occasionally offering a comment or two as Kurt caught her up on what had been going on in glee club since he started. The idea was to make her feel as if she'd been there the entire time in order to open her up a little to strangers and work past her awkward tendencies. Clearly a lot had happened since he had yet to finish when they pulled into her drive way.

Before Sofia got out of the car Kurt turned back around and said, "Don't worry, I'll finish the rest tonight. Remember, Breadstix at 6:30! I'll text you the address as soon as you get inside." and offered her a smile along with Blake. "Don't worry, by the end of dinner you'll feel as if you've been here since your freshman year."

She opened the door to the car, got out and closed it as she walked over to Kurt's window. "I really appreciate everything guys, know whos how long it would have taken me to say something substantial if I'd been left on my own. I'll see you later!" With a wave and a grin she watched them pull out of the driveway and eventually drive out of sight.

She was relieved to know she'd made two friends on her first day. It was more than she'd made on her first day of her freshman year back home. As Sofia walked to her front door and took her keys out of her pocket and thought of what she'd wear that night. Most of her clothes were still in either suitcases or boxes due to her laziness so she didnt have many options at the moment.

Sofia entered her house, the smile never leaving her face as she called out for her mother to share her above average first day.
