Authors Note: My first fanfic but one that I am enjoying writing. Would love to hear what you think!

This is an AU Klaine piece, but uses a lot of prompts from GLEE, although not in any specific order. Rated M for later chapters.

In this piece Dalton is only about ½ hour away (many fics I read they place Dalton 2 hours away, but for my purposes it is closer). Blaine and Kurt are the same age, and are both Seniors.

Chapter One: Those dreamy eyes

Kurt POV

It was lunchtime, not the most thrilling part of my day, atleast during class the neanderthals that were the football players left me alone. During lunch, we, New Directions, were fair game. It was amazing how many people 'tripped' when walking down the aisle next to us and their milk or juice just happened to go flying and land on one of our heads. But it was a daily occurrence and we got very good at placing ourselves out of the thoroughfare and watching each other's back, giving due warning when someone with a tray was walking our way.

So, it was just a normal Wednesday lunchtime, luckily we didn't have to be quite so careful on Wednesdays as the football team has lunchtime practice, and I was half listening to Rachel yammer on about what songs she was planning on singing solo at our upcoming sectionals. She still expected that she was singing every solo, at every competition, although I must admit she sang beautifully and was definitely our star, I just wish she wasn't so damn conceited about it!

Anyway, there we were, eating lunch and Mercedes leans over the table and whispers, "Check it out .. gorgeous eyes and definitely swoon worthy just walked through the door".

"Who is that?" I ask back, although he looked familiar.

"New kid" answers Mercedes "Mr Shue mentioned him in Spanish class this morning, said we were getting a new transfer kid from Dalton, that must be him, definitely looks the type with that preppy hair cut".

Cute .. I thought, he was definitely preppy looking and very adorable with that bow tie and loafers with no socks, ugh and red pants .. If I didn't know better I reckon he plays for my team ..although I am not a great judge, I shudder as I remember the Sam debacle … oh well time will tell.

" … I wonder why? What do you think Kurt?" said Mercedes

Whoops .. I missed something there, definitely got distracted by Mr Dreamy Eyes …"What was that Cedes? Missed what you said."

"I was just saying that 5 weeks into a new school year was a strange time to transfer, was just wondering why? Particularly seeing as Dalton really isn't that far away, you'd think if he moved to Lima he would just keep going to Dalton" Mercedes said thoughtfully.

"No idea Cedes, could be anything" honestly, I love her dearly but she really needs to know everything "Why don't you go and ask him?" I joke.

"Good idea Kurt" and up she gets before I get a chance to stop her …

"Mercedes" I hiss through my teeth "Get back here …"

But she just laughs as she wanders up to Mr Dreamy Eyes and invites him to sit with us seeing as he was still standing there on his own, great, invite the new kid to the table where we get food dumped on our heads.

He smiles, nods and follows her back to our table.

"Hey Guys listen up, this is Blaine, Blaine these beautiful people are the New Directions. Artie, Rachel, Kurt, Tina, Santana and Brittany. Finn, Sam, Puck and Mike are at football training" Mercedes says proudly.

"New Directions .. I know who you are, have seen clips of you guys performing on YouTube when we were preparing for Regionals last year, fantastic to meet you all" laughed Blaine, and oh my what a cute laugh it was, geez Kurt get a grip, you haven't even really met the guy yet.

"What?" squealed Rachel, stopping her monologue. I hadn't even realised she had still been talking until she stopped. "You saw videos of us? Why?"

"I was part of the Warblers at Dalton, we always did as much background checking on other Glee Clubs as possible in the lead up to competitions" Blaine stated matter of factly.

"I thought I recognised you" I said maybe just a bit loudly. "Remember Cedes, he sang the lead in 'Teenage Dream' when we went to see the other Regionals Competition last year, he was absolutely to die …." I shut my mouth quickly, I did not say that last bit out loud, I was mortified.

"Thanks … ummm ?" he held out his hand to me … "Kurt" I mumbled quietly and I quickly shook his hand.

"Teenage Dream is one of my all-time favourite songs, it is just a shame the judges weren't favourable about an all-boys choir singing it … oh well C'est La Vie" Blaine sat down and I could hear Rachel bombard him with questions about the performances of ours he had seen, and what he thought about her singing, and then started again on what songs she was planning on singing this year at all our competitions, ugh she was so tiresome.

The rest of lunch was fairly uneventful, the football team didn't show their faces, which mean we all survived unscathed, and I was able to sit back and listen quietly to our new addition. Blaine was charming, well spoken and was quickly winning over everyone at the table. Rachel was shamelessly flirting with him, and although he was kind, he definitely wasn't playing into it. I personally was just enjoying watching and listening to him, and daydreaming …

The bell went, and signalled that it was time to start moving to class. I slowly packed up my bag, cleaned up my lunch tray and deep in thought started moving out of the cafeteria.

"Kurt wait up" it was Blaine calling out "Where are you off to next? I have French but no idea where I am going"

"Lets have a look at your schedule" I said taking the piece of paper from him, grinning to myself "Well it looks like you are in luck you have French with me, and then English with me after as well, I can show you around. Do you have you locker assigned yet? I just have to head to mine before we go to class"

"Yep, .. ummm locker 319, I haven't gone to it yet so I have no idea where it is either, but I have my combination here"

"Well again you are in luck, my locker is 316 so we are in the same section, lets go there first and I can show you the trick in getting them open, sometimes they are a bit of a pain."

"Thanks so much Kurt, I hate being the new kid. By the way, when do New Directions meet, I would love to come and try out if possible, being part of the Warblers was one of the best parts of school, and after seeing you guys perform I would love to be part of it" he asked.

"Well you are in luck, we meet this afternoon, straight after school. Mondays and Wednesdays every week, and then in the lead up to competitions more often, so starting next week it will be Tuesdays or Thursdays as well with Sectionals only being 3 weeks away. I warn you though, competing for solos is tiring, Rachel just about demands every single one, although Mr Shue is getting better are sharing the roles about, but you definitely won't get as many solos as you were used to." I said quickly, "After that Regionals competition I also checked out the Warblers on YouTube, you definitely got the lions share of the solos, not that you weren't great though" I added shyly.

"Thanks Kurt, it's very sweet of you to say. Our Council decided all the solos, and we had auditions for everyone. I guess I was just lucky, but I would love to come along this afternoon to New Directions. You never know, maybe we can convince Mr Shue to give us a duet" Blaine winked as he said that, was he flirting with me? No way, I must have just imagined it … I was so flustered I almost walked past our lockers.

"Ummm Kurt .. 319 .. isn't this where our lockers are" I quickly shake myself back in to the present.

I show Blaine how to give the locker that extra little shove to get it open, we dump books and get ready for our next two classes which just happen to be together and then we wander off to French. For the first time in a long time I have a little bounce in my step as we walk down the hall together.

Well that is it, my very first chapter of my first fic. I hope its ok. I am not 100% sure where it is going, although I do have a few ideas. Just have to wait and see ;)
