A/N: Ok so, I'm sorry I didn't update like I promised yesterday, but I had no idea that I'd be busy all day working on a project for school at my friend's house. I was also at a loss at what to make the song in this chapter.
It's isn't my song, by the way. Oh, how I wish.
Oh, and Glee isn't mine either... ):
Blaine's first few days at McKinley had been hectic, and it was barely Wednesday. After talking with Rachel about the glee club and meeting some of her friends, Blaine decided that he really did want to join. He wanted to be a part of something special again.
He had been getting slushied practically every other hour since Monday, and it had always been the same jock. Rachel had informed him that the jock's name was Dave Karofsky, and that he was head quarterback of the football team, also dating Kurt Hummel.
Blaine had figured it would be typical: the popular cheerleader dating the popular football player. He had seen it all the time on TV, and why would it be any different here? Of course, Blaine had never seen it until now, seeing as he previously went to an all-boys school.
It didn't bother him, though. Blaine liked being friends with Rachel, and even being her neighbor. He loved sitting with the glee kids at lunch, and he didn't care what kind of crazy things happened to him for socializing with them.
That Wednesday morning, Blaine was walking down the hall with Rachel and one of her friends, Tina Cohen-Chang. They had been talking about different Broadway musicals ever since they had stopped to get coffee.
Blaine had slowly drifted out of the conversation, and only spoke when asked a question, or something was directed at him. He was still observing the behavior of some of the students around the hallways and during class, thinking about how much he missed the feeling of security he had back at Dalton.
As the trio stopped at Rachel's locker so she could get her stuff out, Tina brought up the topic of the Glee Club.
"So Blaine," Tina began. "Were you still considering joining Glee Club? I mean all of us really like you, and I guess you wouldn't be hanging with us unless you liked us too, so… I know it's social suicide, but we'd love for you to join. We really would! We need the members, and I'm sure you have an excellent voice." She spoke softly to him with a smile, which Blaine gladly returned.
Rachel looked at him hopefully, as did Tina, causing Blaine to giggle. "Of course I've thought about it, guys. I really do think I'd like to join. I miss singing with the Warblers, and I'm sure being in New Directions will be just as great of an experience." He assured them both with a nod and a huge grin.
Both of the girls looked at each other, back at him, then squealed and pulled him into a bone-crushing hug.
"That's great Blaine! I'll just ask Mr. Schuester if you can audition tomorrow, since I'm sure you're not even close to prepared today." Rachel stated with a vigorous nod and adjusted Blaine's bowtie.
Blaine gave her a skeptical look before shrugging and smiling at Tina once again.
Going home at the end of the day, now wearing his 3rd outfit due to slushies from the jocks, Blaine had decided that practically nothing could ruin his mood.
He was excited about auditioning for the New Directions, and he was excited to tell his mom. He knew she'd be happy that Blaine was finally becoming a part of something again, but he wouldn't tell her that he was getting red dye number 6 all over his clothes practically every single day.
As he arrived home, he was brainstorming what song he would sing. Giving a quick hello and a kiss on the cheek to his mom, he hurried up the stairs, grabbed his guitar, and began to practice whatever was on his mind.
The next day, Blaine was extremely confident about his audition. It would happen after school, during the club's meeting, and Blaine was eager to impress his new friends.
To say Blaine was talented was an understatement. He had been the lead singer of the Warblers, which wasn't his choice. He simply auditioned, and they picked him for every solo. None of his teammates complained either, they all loved his voice.
Busily wondering if New Directions would be as accepting towards him as the Warblers were, he didn't notice Karofsky and Azimio walking towards him with slushies.
The both of them threw their drinks right in Blaine's smiling face before walking off and high-fiving each other with immense laughter. But it was as if Blaine was immune to slushies that day, and he wasn't bothered by it in the least, continuing to smile as he found his way to the bathroom to change.
By the end of the day, Blaine had been slushied about 3 more times after his first in the morning. What did they gain from doing that, anyway? However, he still didn't care.
His stomach was bubbling with enthusiasm as he walked into the choir room, getting a thousand hellos from all of his new friends, and he returned them happily.
"Hello, Blaine. You must be here for your audition!" Mr. Schuester exclaimed proudly giving him a friendly pat on the back. "Just start whenever you feel like it."
"Thanks, sir." Blaine nodded at him and pulled a chair over from the corner. He beckoned one of the students in the corner to pass him a nearby acoustic guitar.
He made himself comfortable in the seat before taking a huge breath and closing his eyes.
You can do this, Anderson. They're gonna love you. There's no way they can say no to you, they need new members. They'll take anyone, but that doesn't mean that you're bad. Hopefully they'll give honest opinions.
Finished with reassuring himself, he slowly placed his hands and fingers in the proper places and began with a soft strum.
"This is… um, originally a duet but I'll just… I'll try my best." He mumbled, scratching the back of his head nervously.
Every night I walked the streets
Never dreaming what could happen
Sad and so lonely
I saw in the mirror my reflection
Staring back at me
I thought, will I ever find what I need
But I'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night
Cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me
Until you had me see
That together we're just better off
Oh my heart's been tried
Time and again
Always thought that it was me but
I see now just how wrong I was
No, I haven't known you for a lifetime
But somehow I've never been more sure that you're for me
Baby please
don't leave, just come and dance with me tonight
But I'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night
Cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me
Until you had me see
That together we're just better off
Don't be cruel to me
Oh, I've wanted more
And I've been wrong before
So much learning to lose
But you're not a day too soon
So say you feel the same and
We'll never be lonely anymore
But i'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night
Cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me
Until you had me see
That together we're just better off
When he finally finished, the whole room was silent. Blaine's heart was thumping loudly in his chest, he was sure all of New Directions could hear his heavy breath.
He was about to apologize and walk out quickly when all of their faces transformed into broad grins and they all clapped and cheered.
Blaine's face changed from one of worry to one of relief and he started laughing as the whole group surrounded him and praised him with how good they thought he sounded.
There was a large group hug; even Mr. Schue got it on it.
"Welcome our newest member, Blaine Anderson!"
Tears of joy sprung to Blaine's eyes, but he blinked them away quickly.
Kurt couldn't stop thinking about Blaine. The real nerve that kid had. Maybe Dave was right, and Blaine had been talking about him to none other than Rachel.
He had been hiding his anger from all of his friends, but it was really pissing him off. He was frustrated that for once, he didn't get what he wanted, and someone actually challenged him like that. The new kid, for shit's sake.
With an over-exaggerated sigh, Kurt slinked through the halls, a bad aura surrounding him. Even the people that usually greeted him daily were smart enough to stay away, which Kurt was grateful for.
He passed awkwardly by Blaine and Rachel, trying to ignore the both of them at Rachel's locker, but he did hear what Rachel was telling him as he walked by.
"I'm so glad you made it into New Directions, Blaine! You know we need…"
Wait what? The new fool is in Nude Erections now?
Kurt's somewhat pouted mouth formed into a devilish smirk. He knew exactly how to get back at Blaine Anderson.
A/N: I liked it. Did you!
Have you guys seen the clip for Sexy And I Know It from the next episode? I can't get it out of my head now. Ricky Martin has that effect. xD
