He was met at the door with a resounding slap right to his already bruised cheek, ouch. Flinching, he opened his eyes and saw Tina, standing in the middle of the hallway and drawing quite a few curious looks, mouth working as if to start yelling at him, but no words came out. Frustrated by her inability to find the perfect words to tear Blaine down, she stormed off. Blaine let out a sigh, and started off to his locker, hoping not to run into any more of the New Directions on his way.
OoOoOoO
Arriving at his locker, Blaine pulled out his books, messily shoving them into his messenger bag (a present from Kurt, he thought sadly). Quickly checking his reflections in the small mirror to make sure the makeup wasn't smudged, Blaine slammed the door shut with a loud bang, and turned around to see all of the Glee guys making a circle around him. They stood their with their arms crossed, staring down at him with angry looks. God, even Jake and Ryder were there. What the hell were THEY doing? They hadn't even met Kurt, probably just here for some extra muscle. Keeping his head down, he attempted to push through the new crowd of people, and was stopped when Jake shoved him roughly into the lockers. Yep, definitely here for the muscle.
"What the HELL is your problem!", Artie shouted angrily.
Now they were just drawing a scene, Blaine thought ruefully. So dramatic. Maybe some teacher would intervene. Looking over the group, Blaine tried to read the look on Sam's face, the only one in the group that he could maybe consider a friend. They had gotten much closer since Kurt left for New York (Stop thinking about Kurt. You need to stop thinking about Kurt.), but the look on Sam's face was unreadable. Would Sam feel sorry for Blaine, would he understand why he had done what he had done? Sam had been the only one Blaine had really opened up to about his loneliness after Kurt left him behind. He silently hoped Sam would intervene, but no such luck. They just stood there, eyes blazing, yelling abuse at him. Calling him every derogatory name under the sun. Blaine just stood there, looking into Sam's eyes, hoping his maybe friend would see the pain in them. But Sam still just stood there, silent and stoic, not making a move to stop the others. Finally, when the other guys had exhausted themselves and drawn quite a crowd, Blaine angrily pushed through them, sulking off to homeroom (instead of meeting the Glee Club in the choir room). This day was going to suck.
OoOoOoO
Sam's POV
Sam watched Blaine walked down the hallway, shoulder slumped. Sam tore his eyes away from him, conflicted about how he should be feeling about this whole situation. Sam knew, of course, that Blaine had cheated. That was wrong. Cheating was wrong, and he knew that. But he had seen the wounded, hurt expression in Blaine's eyes as the others confronted him. How could he ignore it? He'd only seen Blaine look that defeated once, and he didn't think about that day much anymore. Sam lingered in the hallway a little longer, wondering if he should run after Blaine and give him a hug or something, but gave up and headed to the choir room for the morning meeting.
OoOoOoO
Everyone expect for Mr. Shue had arrived in the choir room when Sam got there. He made his way across the room to his usual seat near Tina and Brittany, leaving Blaine's seat open in case he miraculously decided to show up. After a questioning look from Tina, Sam quickly put his bag on the seat. The rest of the Glee Club chatted with each other for the next few minutes, but Sam kept thinking about Blaine and the look on his face. He was pulled out of his thoughts when Mr. Shue walked into the room.
"Anyone know where Blaine is?", Mr. Shue questioned the Glee Club.
He was meet by silence and angry looks like daggers directed towards him. Brow furrowed, he decided to push on with his questioning.
"Okay...anyone want to tell me what's going on?", asked worriedly.
Tina spoke up first, and angrily told Mr. Shue the whole story. About how she'd called Kurt for some clothing advice Sunday night, and gotten the news about the breakup from a crying Kurt. He'd told Tina everything, and Tina in turn told the rest of the Glee Club (even the new members, they needed to know too if they wanted to make Blaine's life a living hell for what he did to Kurt), and now she told Mr. Shue. About Blaine bringing him flowers and singing Teenage Dream at the NYADA bar. About how they'd taken a walk in the park, about how Blaine had ripped Kurt's heart out. About how Blaine had left early that morning without leaving a note. Sam tried to tune the story out, he didn't want to think about it, surely there had been a mistake somewhere. Blaine would never do that to Kurt.
Mr. Shue just stood there, dumfounded. He looked like he couldn't believe the story Tina was telling, well at least someone else might be on Blaine's side. In an attempt to recover the meeting and stop it from becoming a rant about Blaine session, he gave the kids their assignment for the week as the first period bell rang. Slowly, Sam made his way out of the room, giving Mr. Shue a knowing look. He would talk to him later. Speaking of talking, Sam would see Blaine in third period gym. There weren't any Glee kids in that class, so maybe he would get a chance to talk to Blaine then and find out what really happened.
