Punzy – thanks so much for the review and the constructive criticism, will definitely keep an eye out for my tendency to repeat myself!

Chapter Two – Teenage Dream

Blaine POV

Well that went a lot easier than I expected it be.

When I found out that I had to transfer schools my parents wanted to send me to Westvale High School, but there was no way that I was going to join Aural Intensity, ugh I could not think of anything worse. So I managed to convince them that McKinley in Lima was the place I wanted to go to. Luckily my aunt lived in Lima so it was no problems distance wise, and academically there was not a lot of difference between the two schools, I knew it was pointless to try to explain that the Glee Club was far superior, so I just had to hope they went for it, and they did.

So today was my first day, I knew I wanted to get into New Directions. I had seen their performances on YouTube and was blown away by some of their performances. Their lead, whose name I have since discovered is Rachel, was outstanding and definitely a broadway star in the making, but it was their amazing counter-tenor that caught my eye. Although Rachel's voice was powerful, his was so full of heart and emotion, delicate yet strong all at the same time. It didn't hurt that he was absolutely beautiful as well, and meeting him today that feeling was just intensified. I could have just melted in his eyes when he looked at me at lunch today.

But I get ahead of myself. This morning when I turned up at school, I asked around about New Directions, when and where they rehearsed, no one seemed to know or care. I had begun to think that maybe they had been disbanded, but then I saw them when I walked into the cafeteria, and just when I was trying to work out how to approach them, Mercedes came over and introduced herself and suggested I come and sit with them. The first thing I noticed was the boy with the beautiful eyes, when Mercedes introduced them all she did it so quickly that I didn't catch who was who so I was so happy when he spoke up, giving me the chance to actually ask his name … Kurt. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to talk to him the rest of lunch, Rachel was monopolising me, wanting to know in detail what performances of hers I had seen, she even tried batting her eyelids and flirting, hmm I was going to have to be careful with that one.

Luckily, Kurt was the last to leave the lunch table and although I had already worked out where all of my classes were I used that as a pretence to start a conversation. By pure chance we actually had the next two classes together, and our lockers we almost next to each other, I could not believe it. Maybe McKinley wouldn't be too bad afterall, I mean I was pretty sure that Kurt was gay, although I am making a huge assumption, a little flirting couldn't hurt and worst comes to worst, I could make a new friend.

As we walked to French we chatted about inconsequential stuff, what my other classes were, finding out that we shared another three classes on top of French and English was a bonus and talked a little about New Directions although he was very diplomatic and didn't bad mouth any of the other kids, just talked about all their strengths, I really liked this about him.

"Monsieur Borman, this is Blaine he is a new student" Kurt introduced me to the French teacher, and then he continued to his seat.

"Ahhh yes Mr Anderson, welcome to McKinley, I don't have a copy of the syllabus for you at the moment, but go and sit next to Kurt, he will have everything on hand and in order so you can share with him today and I will be organised for you next lesson"

"Thankyou Sir" and I slipped into the seat next to Kurt and winked at him, I caught him blush slightly and it made my heart flutter.

The same routine happened in English, apparently Kurt is the most organised student in every class, that will be a good reason to organise to meet him outside of class, I mean I am going to have to get caught up on assignments and classwork aren't I!

As we were packing up at the end of the class I decided to take the plunge.

"Hey Kurt, was just wondering if I could grab your number. You seem to be the one to ask about school work, assignments and stuff, I have a bit to catch up on".

"Sss … sure. Give me your phone and I'll put it in" Kurt said very softly

"Great, thanks. It would be good to have a friend as well, starting new schools always sucks. This is my third high school and it never gets easier. So, off to Glee?"

As we walk together silently towards the choir room, I quickly type out a text ..

So you never asked for my number ;) – B

Kurt's phone buzzed and as he looks at it a slight smile comes across his face.

Well you didn't offer it, I didn't want to presume ;) – K

I laughed quietly to myself, that was oh so slightly flirty, definitely some possibilities there.

Well, now you have it. So no excuses not to text me now ;) – B

And with that, we walked into the Choir Room. I recognised everyone from the lunch table, and noticed four other boys. These must be the ones from the football team, although I couldn't remember their names, but I did recognise some of them from the videos.

"Mr Schue, this is Blaine Anderson. He was a Warbler from Dalton but transferred here, he wants to try out for New Directions. Blaine this is Mr Schuester but we all just call him Mr Schue." Kurt introduced me to their Glee Club Director.

"Welcome Blaine, we would love for you to try out. Do you have something prepared, or would you like to wait until next week?"

I thought about what Kurt said at lunchtime ..

"Actually Mr Schue I have something in my back pocket that I can sing right now if that's ok?" I put down my bag and walked over to the piano "Do you mind if I play and sing to at the same time?"

"Sounds fantastic Blaine. Everyone, Blaine Anderson"

I sat down at the piano, wondering if I really had the guts to do this, I looked up at Kurt and started playing the tune. I decided to really slow it down and play it like a gentle love song … I closed my eyes, took a breath and …

You think I'm pretty without any make-up on

You think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong

I know you get me, so I let my walls come down, down

I could see Kurt stop and open his mouth slightly, also his cheeks went the slightest shade of red again. Mercedes leant over and whispered something in his ear, laughing quietly as she did.

Before you met me, I was a wreck

But things were kinda heavy, you brought me to life

Now every February you'll be my valentine, valentine

…

I'ma get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans

Be your teenage dream tonight

Let you put your hands on me in my skin-tight jeans

Be your teenage dream tonight

Mr Schue stood up clapping his hands "Well Blaine I think I can safely say 'Welcome to New Directions' that was superb", he patted me on the back as I stood up a took a bow.

I walked over and sat down, a couple of seats away from Kurt who was still sitting slightly stunned. I hoped I had not pushed it too far by playing the song he had mentioned earlier today. I looked at my now fellow Glee Club members and everyone was smiling, laughing, and welcoming me with the exception of Rachel, who just looked slightly put out. I guess what Kurt had said earlier about Rachel being possessive over her solos was true.

After brainstorming ideas for Sectionals, and watching Mr Schue trying to redirect Rachel away from selecting solos from Westside Story and Evita we were dismissed with the homework of coming up with a 'perfect' group number. It was a very relaxed meeting and gave me a chance to get to know some of the other kids.

As I was getting ready to leave Mercedes grabbed me, "So Blaine, do you want to join us for coffee? We always head down to the Lima Bean after rehearsals, it would be great if you could come along."

"Normally I would love to, but I should head home. I am already late because I came along to Glee afterschool, but definitely next time, now that I know that's the routine!" I glanced over at Kurt and thought I noticed a hint of disappointment in his face. Definitely next time I think.

After the others had left I approached our Director, "Thanks Mr Schue, I am looking forward to becoming part of New Directions."

"Thankyou Blaine, your performance was outstanding, you are definitely going to be an asset to us. Also let me know if you are having any problems settling in, I know how hard it can be transferring to a new school, but I am sure that all of the Glee kids will give you a hand as well."

"Will do, thanks again Mr Schue, see you later"

As I head to the carpark, on a whim I pull out my phone. Quickly before I chicken out I send Kurt a message …

Didn't get a chance to thankyou for showing me around this afternoon. Hope you liked the song ;) – B

The song is Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, but he plays it like Darren Criss plays it live, super slowed down. It is one of my favourite songs done like this. You can google 'Darren Criss' and 'Teenage Dream' and a version should come up.
