After several hours of travelling, Blaine finally arrived to the Big Apple. The train he had taken made its final stop at Grand Central Station and people started to stand up and take their baggage. Blaine closed his book and put it in his backpack and grabbed his suitcase.
Outside, there were lots of people going everywhere, getting out of a train and into another one. Despite all the movement at the station, he found his friends by just looking up. Kurt, his fiancé, held up a huge sign that read "WELCOME BLAINE". Next to him, Rachel and Sam were chatting. Santana was sitting at a bleacher, legs crossed, looking terribly annoyed.
"I just don't understand why we all had to come and greet him. He already knows where-" Santana started but Kurt interrupted her.
"LOOK! HE'S HERE!" he screamed loudly. Blaine smiled and ran into the arms of his lover.
"I missed you" Kurt said and brushed his cheek.
"I missed you, too, but now I'm glad we're both here, doing what we always dreamed of."
"Let me help you with your baggage, bro" Sam offered, after high fiving him and giving Blaine a bear hug. "New York is not the same without my best friend."
Rachel kissed his cheek. "We couldn't stop talking about you the whole week, we were so excited… well, except Santana, of course, but you know her, she's always going to be that way."
He nodded and looked at his Hispanic friend, if he could call her "friend". She was distant. She didn't seem to notice what was happening anymore. She was actually looking at a girl, getting out of a train. She wasn't any ordinary girl. She was different. She was special. She had red pointy hair, shiny eyes and small beautiful lips, revealing a charming smile as she looked around. It was clearly the first time she visited New York City. She stared down at a map she was holding in her hands, which were covered by a pair of black leather gloves. Suddenly, a strong gust hit her face and she dropped the map. It flew away with the wind.
"I have a welcome present for you" Rachel said, returning all the attention to her as she pulled out a ticket from her coat. "You're invited to my first preview on Funny Girl!"
"Wow! Rachel this is amazing! I'm going to be there, you're going to be awesome! I'm sure." Blaine said and hugged her.
"I know; I'm confident" she said and rolled her eyes. She hadn't changed a bit.
Santana didn't give a fuck about what Rachel was talking anymore; she stood up and grabbed the map that was placed in front of her. She stared everywhere, she couldn't find the redhead. Just when she was about to give up, she accidentally burst into her.
"Uh… I think this is yours" she said, looking right into her eyes, her cheeks were blushing a little.
"Aw, thanks, I thought I had lost it for good" she said, showing her bright smile. "I'm glad it didn't happen, I've never been here before and I would probably have problems."
"Anytime… Don't be scared of the city, it is nice, if you hang with the right friends, you will discover it is actually beautiful" Santana said. Where the hell did that had come from?
"You're very nice… I mean, that's very nice" the redhead said nervously.
"So are you… I'm Santana, by the way. What's your name?"
"Willow."
