Hello! Sorry for the wait! Not much to fill you in on this time. We met a new neighbor and she was pretty awful, actually. But the good news is that she told us she might be moving so keep your fingers crossed.
Thank you all for the outpouring of love you all have given me on this story. It encourages more than you know. And I hope I shocked you all pretty good when it came to the whole Terri working for Sue thing. You have many more surprises coming your way.
I need to say really quick that as I'm writing this, I am making people's soul mates my personal OTP's. Not all will be cannon but some of them will be. I also ship a few characters with different people (like Sam and Quinn for example) that I had to narrow it down and pick my favorite. And you don't have to worry because I'm not planning on changing anyone's sexuality either. That will always stay true. :)
I also might send a sneak peak of an upcoming chapter to someone if you can figure out who some of my OTP's are and/or why these 4 boys are so important to the Controller. ;)
Enjoy and I own nothing.
Blaine wouldn't say his first day was going horribly but he knew he was going to be in for a rough 3 years. For starters, his first class of the day was his math class immediately followed by his gym class. That was quite possibly the worst way to start everyday. He got lucky with his 3rd class being glee club and having it with Sebastian. Then he had history, also with Sebastian. The two boys had lunch together right afterward, which, as of this moment, was Blaine's favorite part of the day.
He was sitting at a table he and Sebastian found talking about their days, when he spotted a boy sitting with a group of his friends. Blaine immediately recognized him as the boy from the park with the golden hair and tanned skin.
"Blaine, are you even listening to me?" Blaine heard distantly.
"Yeah. Yeah, of course."
"Doesn't seem like it." Sebastian huffed.
"I'm sorry, Sebastian. I just got distracted." Blaine said, not removing his eyes from the boy.
Sebastian followed his gaze and tried to look at who Blaine was distracted by and immediately catching on. If Blaine hadn't been so distracted, he might've noticed the way Sebastian glared in the boys direction.
"Isn't that the boy from the park the other day?" Sebastian asked casually.
"Yeah, I think so."
"Why are you so distracted by him?"
Blaine gulped. He hadn't realized he'd been staring and he couldn't let Sebastian know he was gay yet but if he kept staring, his eyes would tell him for him.
"I don't know. I guess I'm people curious. What do they talk about? How did they become friends? People are just really interesting."
Sebastian looked from Blaine to the boy and back again but didn't say anything. Blaine was hoping his best friend didn't catch on to the biggest secret Blaine had to keep. Instead, he went back to his hamburger and listened as Sebastian told his story.
"So, anyway, this girl, who introduced herself as Santana, told me that she's already made out with more guys than her age. She told me she was interested in me and when I turned her down, she got pissed off. And now she won't leave me alone."
"Sebastian, it's been one day. How has this already happened to you?"
"I'd like to think that I'm wildly handsome and charming."
Blaine let out a small giggle and rolled his eyes.
"Or she could just be a girl that wants to lose her virginity before she's 14." Blaine said as he took a sip from his drink.
"Oh, God, here she comes." Sebastian said, moving his gaze to the aisle.
Blaine turned to look at her. His first impression was how strikingly stunning she was. If he hadn't been gay, he could've been attracted to her. She was a little shorter than himself, which was really saying something, had black hair and was wearing a blue dress that left very little to the imagination.
"She's pretty." Blaine said.
"She's not my type." Sebastian muttered under his breath.
Blaine watched as Santana grew closer and closer before finally standing right next to Sebastian.
"Hey there, Meerkat." She said.
"Meerkat?" Blaine asked, trying to hold back his laughter.
"Santana seems to think that my face resembles a meerkat."
Blaine couldn't hold back anymore and started laughing so hard he had tears pouring down his eyes.
"Do-do you w-w-w-w-want to sit with us?" Blaine asked in between bursts of laughter.
"Blaine, no." Sebastian glared.
"I would love to. Thank you!" Santana sat next to Sebastian and looped her arm with his. "Santana Lopez is the name."
"Blaine Anderson." He held out his hand to offer a handshake, still shaking from laughing so hard.
Santana looked at his hand almost trying to decide if she wanted to take it and decided she wanted to after all.
"What class do you guys have next? I want to know if I have to sit in a classroom full of losers or if I'll have a familiar face." she asked.
"I have cooking. Thank God too because my mom was getting worried that I was a hopeless cause." Blaine responded.
"Math." Sebastian said.
"Oh, good. Looks like I get you, hair gel. " She smirked.
"What?"
"It's caked on there. It looks like you're wearing a helmet."
"It does not!" Blaine defended.
"It kind of does, Blaine." Sebastian added.
"I don't need to take this."
"Oh, relax, helmet head. I tease because I care." Santana smiled.
"I'd hate to hear what you would do if you hated someone." Blaine grumbled.
"You don't want to know. I grew up in Lima Heights Adjacent. If we don't like someone, they'll feel it."
Blaine and Sebastian couldn't do anything but gape at the girl as she went to her salad. When she looked up, she noticed the boys staring.
"Look, I know I'm hot but why are you staring?"
"Remind me never to piss you off." Sebastian said.
She said nothing in response and instead went back to eating her lunch.
20 minutes later found Blaine and Santana sitting at a table in their cooking class. Joining them was someone Blaine had seen walking down the hall earlier but hadn't met until now.
"Wesley Montgomery. My friend David Dunham should be joining us shortly. Nice to meet you."
Blaine didn't even see him hold out his hand because he saw the boy from lunch walk into the room and sit at the table next to him.
"Let me go see where David ran off to. I'll be right back." He vaguely heard Wesley say.
Blaine tried to look at the boy discreetly but was apparently not sneaky enough.
"So, you're gay, huh?"
"What?!," He was brought out of his revive. "No! Why would you say that?!"
"Because you've been staring at my boy, Jeramiah over there for the last 2 minutes." Santana said.
Jeramiah.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about. And how do you know his name?"
"Our mother's are basically best friends. I've practically grown up with him. So, you like him, huh?" She smirked.
"I-like him? I don't even know him. I'm not even gay." He looked away.
Santana's smirk disappeared as she leaned in close and lowered her voice so only he could hear.
"You can tell me. I won't say anything. There's nothing wrong with it. It's not like you chose to be this way. It's normal to have crushes."
"Just-just please don't say anything. Especially to Sebastian. I don't want him to know yet."
She nodded in response as she saw Wesley and David show back up to the class.
The rest of Blaine's day passed in a blur. Between Santana knowing his secret and finally learning the identity of his interest, he already had so many things on his mind that he almost didn't remember walking home.
"Mom!" He shouted as he walked inside. "Hello?"
He walked into the kitchen to get something to eat when he saw a not on the counter with his name on it.
Blainey,
I left to go get things for dinner and to do a few more errands afterwards. Please don't eat the cookies as a snack, they're for after dinner. I'll be home soon and then you can tell me all about your first day. I love you,
Mom
Blaine grabbed an apple from the counter and threw his backpack on the couch. He laid down next to it and started thinking about his day...and Jeramiah. Just the thought of his name brought butterflies to his stomach. He knew Jeramiah wasn't his soul mate but at the moment, with the aching in his stomach and the pounding in his heart, he really wished his timer were wrong.

Thank God Sebastian had his last 2 classes before lunch with Blaine because his first day was turning out to be a disaster. Not only did he hate his Science teacher but he met a girl in his 2nd period Art class who was really annoying him.
It all started when she walked in and noticed him sitting by himself and walked over to sit next to him.
"Hey there. Anyone sitting here?" She asked.
"No."
She didn't wait for an invitation as she sat down next to him and started pulling things out of her backpack.
"Name's Santana."
"Sebastian."
"Nice to meet you, Meerkat."
Sebastian looked up from his notebook to glare at the girl.
"Excuse me?"
Santana turned her head to give him a smirk.
"What? Your face looks like a meerkat. It's not a bad thing...just different. You know, I've never made out with anyone who looked like a meerkat. Maybe you could be the first."
"What are you talking about?"
"So, you're pretty but you're not the brightest? Gotcha. Well, let me spell it out for you. I may only be 12 but I'm the hottest thing around here. My track record with guys proves that alone. I've made out with probably 20 guys already. But not one of them look like you. What do you say?"
Sebastian couldn't speak because he was so speechless. He was gay...but no one knew it. He couldn't do it and he wouldn't.
"No thanks. You're not my type."
"I think I can change your mind about that." She winked.
"I doubt it. I don't really think you can 'change' the mind of someone."
"You don't find me attractive, do you?" She said, slowly losing her smirk.
"I didn't say that but I am saying that you might not be as hot as you think you are."
Her jaw dropped.
"I ought to slap you for that. "
Sebastian was going to respond but the bell rang saving the conversation from happening further.
The class ended without any complaints from Sebastian as he headed to glee club and history with Blaine. Speaking of Blaine...lunch is when Sebastian's mood seemed to go downhill.
"Let me tell you about how much I already hate my Science teacher." Sebastian said as they all began eating their lunch.
"Alright, I'm ready." Blaine took a bite of his apple in preparation.
"So, I walk in and I'm like, 30 seconds late. You'd think that when you're a brand new student, it would be sort of acceptable, right? Wrong! He is already talking about the syllabus and when I walked in, he glared at me. I kid you not, he told me that if I felt I was so above the class that I had to draw attention to myself by coming in late, then I didn't need to come in at all.
"Then, after I finally sat down, he went over everything else, and told us what our homework was. Homework! On the first day of school. And as he was walking around giving us our packets, he gave me an extra one to make up for not being on time and told us that we had to finish it by the end of class.
"Well, I have 2 packets, right. So, I'm not finished by the time the bell rings. He tells me that he'll take it easy on me since it's the first day. And you know what he does? He gives me another packet, along with the unfinished one, and tells me to bring them both in tomorrow. If this is what he calls 'taking it easy' then I'm terrified of what he'll do when he's pissed, you know? Then, I met a girl in Art who wouldn't leave me alone for even one second."
Sebastian looked up to see Blaine in his own world not paying attention.
"Blaine, are you even listening to me?"
"Yeah. Yeah, of course."
"Doesn't seem like it." Sebastian huffed.
"I'm sorry, Sebastian. I just got distracted." Blaine said.
Sebastian followed his gaze and tried to look at who Blaine was distracted by and immediately catching on. He immediately recognized the boy as the one they saw in the park a few weeks ago. The one Blaine couldn't stop staring at...the one that made Sebastian incredibly jealous. Blaine was clearly distracted and didn't notice the way Sebastian glared in the boys direction.
"Isn't that the boy from the park the other day?" Sebastian asked casually.
"Yeah, I think so."
"Why are you so distracted by him?"
Sebastian wasn't 100% sure what Blaine was hiding and didn't want to jump to any conclusions, but knew him well enough to know he wasn't being completely honest. Though that wasn't to say Sebastian wasn't. There was so much jealousy inside him right now and he was using everything he could to keep it there.
"I don't know. I guess I'm people curious. What do they talk about? How did they become friends? People are just really interesting."
Sebastian looked from Blaine to the boy and back again but didn't say anything. He was lying to him but didn't know in what way. He knew Blaine would come to him when he was ready but it was going to burn inside him until he was.
"So anyway," Sebastian continued trying to change the subject, "This girl, who introduced herself as Santana, told me that she's already made out with more guys than her age. She told me she was interested in me and when I turned her down, she got pissed off. And now she won't leave me alone."
"Sebastian, it's been one day. How has this already happened to you?"
"I'd like to think that I'm wildly handsome and charming."
Blaine let out a small giggle and while he rolled his eyes, Sebastian felt the butterflies in his stomach going crazy.
"Or she could just be a girl that wants to lose her virginity before she's 14." Blaine said as he took a sip from his drink.
"Oh, God, here she comes." Sebastian said, moving his gaze to the aisle.
Blaine turned to look at her. He didn't know what his first thoughts were but he was surprised by what Blaine said.
"She's pretty." Blaine said.
"She's not my type." Sebastian muttered under his breath.
The rest of the day passed by in a blur as Sebastian clearly had other things on his mind. He barely even remembered walking home. When he got there, he was so distracted, he almost didn't notice how quiet it was. He knew that Lex wouldn't be home from school yet, but usually his mom was home from work with the twins.
He walked into the kitchen to find a note from his mother on the counter telling him she went to the doctor and to call if she needed anything. Sebastian sighed and took a few cookies from the cookie car, not even trying to hide his irritation. He was always home by himself. He would normally invite Blaine over to keep him company but apparently, Blaine was given homework as well and knew neither of their parents would let him come over until he was done.
Blaine.
Sebastian couldn't stop thinking about him. He knew in his heart that it would never work. He wasn't completely sure if Blaine was gay and they weren't soul mates. Why couldn't they be? They've been best friends their whole life so they know it would work.
Sebastian looked at his wrist and for the first time, got sad at the numbers counting down until the day when he knew he would lose Blaine.

Tell me what you thought! This chapter ended up being a little shorter than I anticipated but I didn't want to bore everyone completely so Chandler and Kurt's first day will be on the next chapter. If you're interested in that sneak peak, leave a guess!
I want to be sappy for just a moment and thank everyone that has been reading, reviewing, following and favoriting, not just this story, but me as well. It overwhelms me more than words can say.

I'm so happy and grateful you all are apart of the fanfic community and I'm grateful I've had the opportunity to get to know some of you.
