Elizabeth sighed as Mary paid for her coffee, wishing for the umpteenth time that Vocal Adrenaline didn't practice so often. She barely had time to finish all of her chores at home, let alone to go find a part-time job. Jayne winked at the cashier as she took her Frappuccino and made her way over to a small table in the back.

"Coming to a coffee shop then not ordering any coffee?" Elizabeth turned around blushing, finding herself face to face with the most handsome man she'd ever seen. One dark brow was raised above his hazel eyes as he met her gaze. She puttered for a few seconds before managing to say anything.

"I forgot to grab some money before I left the house and I don't like making my friends pay for me."

"Ah." He nodded. "Well, since we're not technically friends, let me pay for it." Elizabeth shook her head.

"I-I don't even know your name, I couldn't let you pay for me." He just held up a hand.

"Blaine. Please, Miss...?" He let the sentence hang off, hoping to learn the name of the adorable girl before him.

"Elizabeth. I..." Seeing Jayne give her a smirk and mouth 'He's cute!' she gave in. "Venti caramel non-fat latte with whipped cream please." She said to the cashier. Blaine smiled and pulled out his wallet.

"A medium drip please." He Paid for their coffee's handing her the latte with a smile.

"Thanks." She smiled and blushed again as he shook his head, black curls staying perfectly in place.

"Anytime, Elizabeth." Jayne and Mary came up to the two, Mary smiling and Jayne looking chagrined.

"I'm sorry, Iza, I completely forgot that Mar and I have extra coaching this morning, and we're running behind. We'll see you at lunch, k?" Jayne winked when she saw Blaine wasn't' looking and drug Mary away. Elizabeth chuckled and started towards a small table.

"Well, Blaine, would you like some company?" He grinned and pulled out a hair for her.

"I would love some company." Outside Jayne jumped up and down a squeal ringing out.

"Do you realize how huge this moment is? Elizabeth hasn't showed interest in anyone else since we've know her. Maybe they'll start dating! Oh my god that would be so amazing!" Mary laughed and rolled her eyes.

"Come on; let's get going to see Mr. St. Sexy, as you like to call him." Jayne hiked her bag up on her shoulders, smirk forming on her lips.

"Mm. God he is so damn attractive. And he has the voice of angel." Mary had to jog to keep up with her.

Elizabeth couldn't help but smile as Blaine laughed, it was infectious. Blaine let out another string of chuckles as Elizabeth realized her drink was gone.

"What?" She questioned, blush climbing to her cheeks at the thought of doing something embarrassing in front of her dapper companion.

"Nothing, your face was just adorable." She blushed even harder making him smile.

"Oh crap!" She pulled out her phone, cursing as she realized just how late she was for Vocal Adrenaline rehearsal. "I'm sorry, but I'm late for show choir rehearsal. I've got to go. It was nice meeting you." She picked up her bag hurriedly, heading to the door and throwing away her empty cup before he had a chance to say anything.

"Wait!" he called, following behind her quickly. "Elizabeth, I'd really like to see you again. I mean, if you want to of course. I-it's up to you..." Her eyes were wide as she struggled to say 'I'd like that.' Thinking she was trying to turn him down he apologized starting off towards his car.

"Wait, Blaine...Tomorrow morning at 7?" He grin was breathtaking as he turned towards her.

"That would be perfect." She smiled and ran off towards her car to get to school.

"Higher, Jayne. I know you're an alto, but this is well within that pretty little range of yours." Jesse said as they worked on dance moves for the number they were working on. Jayne blushed and nodded, trying again for the high note without going into her head voice. Elizabeth slipped in quietly, smiling at the way Jayne got flustered when Jesse got close. It was pretty obvious to Elizabeth she had a teacher crush, no matter how well she hid it from everyone else, Elizabeth and Mary were her best friends, they could tell.

"So nice of you to join us, Miss Martin." Jesse said, eyes never leaving Jayne as he continued walking her through the steps. Morning practices were optional and only for those who had a specific area they wanted to improve in, but once you signed up they were just as important as the regular afternoon rehearsals. "Don't worry, Jayne already told me about the early morning visit with your uncle." Jayne gave her a pointed look before smiling. Jesse finished up with her before calling the others down.

"Alright, these are the same steps we went over yesterday afternoon, and now that everyone knows them, let's try this." Jesse took a seat and started the count. Everyone fell into their places quickly, ready to begin the dance. Jayne was singing lead vocals with Elizabeth and a freshman girl who all wanted to work on their singing, while Mary and Jayne were doing more complex moves with two upperclassmen to improve their dancing. The effect was nice considering there were only six of them doing a dance meant for an entire show choir.

"Great job. Nice vocals ladies. Much better on the high notes, Jayne. Elizabeth, we need to work on your lower notes tomorrow. Mary, you too. Guys, you still aren't putting yourselves fully into this. If you want to be in this group, you have to want it. And you have to impress me. Maybe I'm more lenient than I should be, but I'm getting results with everyone else but you. Stop fooling around. Go change, the bell's going to ring soon.

Elizabeth nearly turned around and walked back into the auditorium as she noticed Blaine standing in the hallway.

"Elizabeth, there you are! I'm so sorry, I completely forgot to get your phone number." He smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm really bad at this whole thing, and I wanted to at least try and do it right, so how about I just take this," He took her phone from her hands gingerly. "And put my number in here. And hopefully you'll consider calling me for more than coffee." He backed away slowly, smiling charmingly at the blank expression on Elizabeth's face. "Just…think about it, please." Elizabeth turned to Jayne, dumbstruck once he had left.

"I think…I think I just got asked out on a date." Mary laughed and hooked her arm through Elizabeth and Jayne's, dragging them both to class as they joked with Elizabeth for freezing up.
