A/N: Although the events will be happening and progressing like the series and TV shows. It will start in 2011, instead of 2009. Just to bring it up to date with music and all that.

So the next few classes surprisingly went without a hitch! I spent the first two classes talking to Sam and then the next two talking to Sugar! So I wasn't as lonely as I thought I'd be. In fifth period I introduced Sam and Sugar to each other and we spent the rest of that class talking to each other! We got along really well! Now it's time for lunch!

We walked through the double doors into the vast space that was the lunch hall. It was so big. Like ten 3 or 4 times the size of the hall I had back in Ireland! All of the tables looked almost full. I looked around and caught a glimpse of a free table down at the back of the hall. The three of us scurried through the crowd to the empty seats and sat down.
"So the first day doesn't seem as bad as I thought it was gonna be!" I said smiling. "Totes!" Sugar shouted. "Oh it's been totes amazeballs hasn't it Sugar?" I said as I winked to Sugar. "Um… amazeballs?" Sam said, looking confused. "It's something we say in Ireland. England too. It's kind of poking fun at how posh people talk. See Sugar here knows all about European pop culture cause of me" I said laughing. "Cool dude! Well you're gonna have to teach me all this European hipster stuff so I know what you're talking about." Sam said, poking his tongue out at me as he said it. "I dunno man, there's a lot to learn. You up for the task?" I said, poking my tongue back at him". "Oh I'm up for the challenge dude". "Then I shall teach you" I said as I winked, "And I know Sugar would love for me to tell you about European fashion, I can't. I haven't a clue about it. "Bit too gay!" I said as I laughed.
"Excuse me, but that's very offensive", someone said from behind. I turned around to see a guy about my age with black, slicked hair looking back at me angrily. "I'm sorry?" I said to him. "What you just said, 'too gay', that's offensive. I'm gay and that's derogatory to me" he said sternly. Shit. "Oh wow, I'm really sorry. I really didn't mean it like that. Sorry what's your name?". "Blaine". "I'm Ryan. Blaine I'm really sorry. I'm not from here. I moved from Ireland and in Ireland, 'that's gay' or just 'gay' in general is actually used as a term. It's not meant as anything offensive to gay people. It's just something we say. I'm just used to saying it." I said, trying to reason with him. "That doesn't matter Ryan. You're still using the term and treating like it's bad to be gay". Shit, what am I supposed to say without giving away that I'm gay? "Blaine can I talk with you in private for a minute please?""Yes ok" he said coolly.I got up and he motioned for me to lead the way. I looked at Sam and Sugar before walking with Blaine. They both looked worried.

We walked into a bathroom just outside of the hall. Blaine stood there looking at me waiting for me to talk. "Ok Blaine, first of all, again, I want to say I'm really sorry for what I said. Just let me say this before you fight with me again ok. I know that it's wrong to say that something is too gay or gay in general. I think it's wrong, I promise you. But in Ireland everybody says that. And Ireland is not like America. It's more like the southern states of America, where being gay is still treated as a 'sin'. You say those things to fit in. I only moved here recently so I'm still not out of that mindset from back home. Again, I'm sorry for saying that." I said. I paused for a few seconds, looking away from Blaine. Ok here we go… I'm scared. I feel sick… " Ok, um, well, I'm gay Blaine. I'm not out of the closet, but I am definitely gay… I wish I was like you, being able to be out and proud… But I can't. You see, I moved from Ireland with my Mam, 2 aunts and my two Grandparents. My mam and one of my aunts know I'm gay and they're fine with it. But the problem is my Grandparents. Like I said, Ireland is very homophobic and my Grandparent's are devout Catholics. They despise gay people more than they love God. So I can't come out yet…. The whole point I'm trying to make is that I absolutely don't hate gay people. I love gay people, seeing as I am gay! I'm really sorry that I offended you but I'm still learning to adjust to this new place and I'm sorry if my past life creeps out every now and again. I'll try my absolute best to never do it again.,, Alright well that's all I have to say anyway, sorry if I wasted your time. But I just had to say that." I said as I started to walk away.
Suddenly I felt a hand grab my wrist and turn me back around. "Ryan I'm sorry that you have to go through this. I don't like what you said but now that you've explained it at least I understand why. And I forgive you" He said as he smiled. "I know how tough it is t o be in the closet. So you can officially call me your first gay friend" he said as he held out his hand and smiling. I shook his hand tightly. "Absolutely Blaine, thanks for understanding" I said. I couldn't keep the smile off my face. "And I'm kinda in the same boat as you actually Ryan. I used to go to a boarding school called Dalton Academy. I transferred here just today. It's less expensive here and I wanted to see what a public school felt like. But anyway, I don't know anyone here either." "You are similar to me then, I didn't know anyone here. But now I've made friends with the two people I was sitting with. The guy just moved from Kentucky and the girl has always lived here, but people never gave her a chance. Would you like to eat lunch with us?" I said. "I'd love to, he said smiling".
We went to walk out the door when three huge figures came bursting in. It was the mohawked guy Puck and his two friends. They were carrying cups of what looked like a slush puppy from back home. "Well well looks like the puckasaurus found his prey" he said as he walked up to me. Suddenly he tossed the cup. It was too quick for me to react or dodge. It hit me like a wave of ice, Ice travelling down my spine, in my hair, down my pants. EVERYWHERE! "What the hell was that for?" I shouted at him. "Simple, you're mine now" he said with an evil little smirk on his face. His two friends laughed as they walked out the door and Puck followed suit. I was livid. Got my own personal bully… Just great… What a first day this is turning out to be.
