Chapter 6

It was lunch time, and Kurt was lost in thought. He had been debating whether or not to invite Blaine to sit with his Glee friends for lunch, and when he saw the boy sitting alone again, his decision had been made.

"Blaine! Come sit with me and the others." Kurt said, getting the attention of Blaine who had his ever present text book. "Please?" He said as an after though.

Blaine seemed to contemplate his options for a few seconds before gathering his lunch and following Kurt across the cafeteria.

"Hey guys." Kurt said as he and Blaine sat down side by side on the bench. Many people returned his hello, and even more of them gave a hello to Blaine as well.

An awkward sense of unease fell over the table, as if no one knew what to talk about.

Rachel was the one to break the silence. "So Blaine, do you think your going to audition?"

Blaine nodded. "Yeah, I was thinking I'd audition tonight after school."

"What song are you going to sing?" One of the blond cheerleaders asked.

Before Blaine could respond, Kurt was answering already. "Blaine decided this morning that he wanted to keep it a secret, Quinn. I think that would be more fun anyways."

Many of the others agreed, and wished Blaine good luck.

Lunch continued uneventfully, that is until some jocks showed up. "Wow, the looser table has themselves a new fairy! How precious!"

Blaine froze at the sound of the boy's voice. He looked up and saw that it was the same boy that had cornered him at his locker earlier.

"What do you want Karofsky?" Finn asked emotionlessly.

"I just wanted to say hi. Jeez Hudson, every night you spend at the Hummel's seems to turn you into more of a fairy. Are you two still sharing a room?" The boy teased, angering many people at the table.

"To hell with you Karofsky!" Finn shouted as he started to get up from the table. Puck, Mike, and Santana tried to hold him back. Blaine looked over to Kurt, only to see that he was being held down as well by Mercedes, Rachel, Tina, and Quinn.

The jocks started to walk away, shouting taunts and jeers over their shoulders.

When they were gone, the mood at the table remained angry and hostile. Blaine remained quite for the rest of lunch.

He reminded himself to get the backstory from Kurt later.
