Part 2
"So how is room 213 treating ya", David asked carefully as the Warblers sat down around their usual table in the pizzeria.
"Didn't spend much time in there other than unpacking and being ignored by my roommate", Blaine answered grumpily.
"Roommate", David asked confused. "My papers didn't say anything about a roommate."
"Neither did they about Thad's roomy", Blaine spat.
"Thad has a roomy", David asked confused.
"Yes! Carmichael said so."
"Speaking of the devil", Nick said and waved with his arm. The boys looked up and saw Thad with another brunette, a pretty tall and good looking young man with brown hair, pale skin and green eyes. Thad smiled and told the guy something and they headed over.
"Hi Thad", Trent said happily. "Who's your new friend?"
"Hi guys", Thad said happily and sat down in a vacant seat, making sure the new guy sat beside him. "This is Sebastian Smythe, my new roommate. Seb this is Blaine, his boyfriend Kurt, David, Fred, Frank, Nick, his boyfriend Jeff and Trent."
"Nice to meet you", Sebastian said with a cocky smile on his lips.
"Nice to meet you too", Trent said.
"I know."
Thad rolled his eyes as did the others. Sebastian wasn't the first cocky bastard to come their way after all.
"So where are you from Sebastian", Kurt asked politely.
"I'm from New York but I lived the past few years in Paris, France", Sebastian answered with a smug look.
"Really", Jeff asked. "That's so cool!"
"I know. A very interesting people the French, full of love and desperate to get laid. Not as passionate like southern Europeans and not as stiff, shy and boring as the northern ones." The boys laughed and continued to eat, but after a bit Jeff started the questions again.
"So Blaine what's your new roomy like?" he asked. "Why isn't he here?"
"He's a nerd and shyer than Thad was when he got here", Blaine said and they stared at him and then Thad and then him again.
"You were shy Clearwater", Sebastian asked with a somewhat evil smirk. "One couldn't believe that after our first meeting."
"Eat your pizza Smythe", Thad said and pushed a piece into his mouth, Sebastian just grinned through it.
"Back to Blaine", Kurt said calmly. "What's your roomy like other than shy and a nerd?"
"Well when I got into the room he was already on his bed, studying", Blaine said and everyone grimaced. Not even Thad and Kurt that were sometimes the Warbler nerds started to study before school even started. "He didn't answer any of my questions, nothing."
"Well maybe he thinks that you don't want to hear them", Thad said calmly.
"Is that why you didn't answer any questions when you first got here", David asked and Thad nodded.
"I thought you were just pretending to wanting to know", he explained. "As soon as I told you you'd use what I said against me somehow… people always did that so I was afraid to speak."
"Can't you try to talk to the guy then", Blaine asked in a begging tone. "I don't want to spend my whole year with a mute."
The Warblers, even Kurt and Sebastian gave him a pointed look.
"I didn't mean it like that", Blaine hurriedly said.
"He doesn't need another 'mute' Blaine", Thad said calmly. "He needs someone that is friendly and outgoing… why Carmichael chose you I can't understand right now." He said the last part with a teasing tone and the boys all laughed. Blaine threw a mushroom at Thad who just stuck his tongue out at him.
The rest of the evening went by talking about their summers and pumping Sebastian on more stories from France and other countries in Europe. It was fun. But Blaine noticed something that caused some anger in him, but he could not understand why. Sebastian's arm was by now resting over Thad's shoulders and they were looking rather comfortable that way. Blaine was about to say something when Fred reminded them that they needed to head back so that they didn't miss curfew and somehow… the thought of spending the last of the evening with his new roommate in a haunted room was not what was atop Blaine's list of things to do.
When he got back to his room the light was on and he stepped inside.
"Hi", he said and looked around and started to stare. The whole room was coated with dust as well, so thick it almost looked like snow. It was everywhere, spider web and dust.
"Niff", he said and ran a hand over his face. "It must be them playing a prank on me and… uh… me and… what is my roomy's name?" he scratched his head in confusion. He didn't even know that. Blaine sighed and went to get the vacuum cleaner, he couldn't sleep in this thick dust after all. He spent the rest of the evening cleaning the place up and it took hours. Everything in the room was coated with that thick dust, all his stuff. He had no idea how Niff could've managed something so disgusting and he cleaned as much as he could. Before crashing to bed tiredly. He fell asleep in his uniform.
A sunbeam hit his face and he sighed and rubbed his face. His phone stated that it was 6 am. He groaned and sat up and stared. The room was no longer dusty, now spider webs or cracks… nothing. It was tip top clean and the vacuum cleaner was gone. Blaine stared around the room and saw his roomy come out from the bathroom, dressed in a Dalton Academy uniform. He wasn't wearing the blazer. He was wearing a white shirt, a red slipover, grey slacks, black shoes and a black tie.
"Did you do this", Blaine asked and then grinned. It was the first time he saw his new roommates face. And he looked good. He was Asian and his eyes were so dark they were almost black and they held a glow in them, of a kind Blaine had never seen. The young man was short, not that much taller than Blaine but he stood tall, back straight as a stick and an impassive look on his face.
"Thanks for cleaning up the rest", Blaine told him as he headed into the bathroom. "I know who was most likely behind it. I'll tell you after I shower!" Blaine showered and then came out to get dressed… to find his room abandoned.
"Or I tell you later", he said and pulled on his uniform to go down and get breakfast.
The day went by and Blaine was really confused. He demanded that Niff told him how they pulled that prank on him and his roommate but they had no idea of what he was talking about. They pointed out that they had no time to pull pranks since they were there at the pizzeria as long as Blaine. Ignoring that fact Blaine swore to figure out how they did it and Kurt just chuckled at his boyfriend's antics. At lunch the subject came up about his roommate and Blaine couldn't tell them anything more about the guy.
"Oh", he then snapped his fingers. "Only that he is Asian and hot." Kurt slapped him. "What I'm serious! You call guys hot all the time."
"Yes movie stars or sports stars", Kurt snapped. "Not my roommates."
"Aw but he's probably not even gay Kurtie", Blaine whined.
"It doesn't matter."
"Well can you at least let us know what he is wearing so that we can figure out who he is", David asked looking up from his arm-wrestling match with Rock.
"Sure", Blaine said. "He didn't took the blazer version of our uniforms today. He took the white shirt, red slipover, black tie, grey slacks and black shoes version.
"Noted", David said with a grin. "Well maybe he shows up at Warblers practice, you mentioned us to him didn't ya?"
"Of course I did, no one at Dalton should be ignorant of the knowledge of the Warblers existence."
"Stop sounding so arrogant Anderson", Thad teased. "It is not becoming."
"What's the Warblers", Sebastian asked. "You mentioned it last night honey but not what it is."
"Two things", Kurt said. "One: the Warblers are our a cappella Glee Club and two: honey?"
"Sebastian came to our room yesterday", Thad explained happily. "Slammed the door open and yelled: 'Honey I'm home'."
"To which my dear wife-" Sebastian began.
"I am not your wife!"
"-answered: 'Take off your dirty shoes darling' with a very nice posh-English accent. I fell in love instantly." He put his arm around Thad's shoulders.
"Stop that you nitwit", Thad told him as he pushed the arm off, but Blaine and Kurt had noticed the blush. Kurt smiled at it but Blaine felt angry for some reason. He didn't trust Sebastian, at all. The guy felt too sure of himself.
Blaine and Kurt didn't meet up with the others until Warblers practice and it turned out they had quite a few appliers this year so the council had a lot to do. The council consisted of secretary David, councilmember and cashier Thad and chairman of the year was Fred. They usually changed chairman every year unless the person was so good they didn't want to exchange him.
Sebastian had auditioned and he was great! He got accepted at once! As did two boys called John and Luke. They were both freshmen and really good friends already it seemed. They also turned out to be a bit gossipy and Trent instantly took them to heart and then they heard that there was a third person in their group and that he would audition too, he just had to come back from Tae Kwando practice.
"So", Kurt whispered. "Have you seen your hot roomy around?"
"Will you ever let that go", Blaine whined.
"Never. So… have you?"
"No… have you?"
"Nope. I heard a few of the guys saw an Asian dressed as you said but they weren't sure of which grade he belonged to."
"What did they say about his looks?"
"The guys I talked to aren't gay Blaine so they didn't say."
"Next", Fred called after dismissing a tone deaf kid. The doors opened and in stepped a young Asian kid, not that much taller than Blaine, dressed in a white shirt, red slipover, black tie, grey slacks and black shoes. Blaine grinned and Kurt noticed, but he didn't notice Blaine slouch a bit and his grin disappearing. All Warblers were looking his way, except for the two freshmen.
"Name and grade please", David said. "And range."
"Hi", the kid said. "I'm Chris Kim, freshman and baritone."
"I see", Thad said. "Why do you want to join the Warblers?"
"Oh! I love music and to sing and stuff. It's really fun-"
Blaine stopped listening at that point, he didn't even listen to the kid sing, such was his disappointment.
"Honey", Kurt suddenly whispered and he turned to him.
"What?" he asked.
"I am starting to doubt your taste in guys, first Jeremiah and now this guy? I thought you said he was hot. Oh well at least now I know what your roommate looks like. Feel free to start dating him."
"It's not that Asian guy!" Blaine yelled. "He's not even hot!"
Kurt's eyes widened and Blaine realized he'd been shouting. He looked up to see everyone in the room staring at him. Especially the freshman he had just insulted. Blaine turned bright red.
"Sorry", he squeaked. "I didn't mean it like that! You're good looking! But I have a boyfrind so don't get your hopes up…. Err I mean I don't think your hot or anything… but you're not ugly either. I mean you're cute! Oh shit don't get the wrong idea about that! I'm not into that, to dating someone else when I have a boyfriend I mean. That's the only reason I wouldn't date you. Oh shit I didn't mean it like that I-"
"Blaine", Thad cut in, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"What", Blaine asked, red as a tomato in the face.
"Open mouth, insert foot!"
At Thad's words everyone but Blaine started laughing, even the Asian freshman, Chris, laughed. Blaine got a few pats on the back but he was still bright red and couldn't look at anyone for the rest of the rehearsals. He knew especially that if he looked at Chris he would blush again and make a fool out of himself.
"Ugh I hope you had a better day than me", Blaine said as he got to his room and found his roommate sit by his desk doing homework. "I made a big fool of myself."
No answer.
"Can you at least answer me when I talk to you", Blaine asked in annoyance. "It is very rude."
No answer, the guy didn't even acknowledge his presence.
"Okay look here", Blaine said and stalked up to him. "I don' care if you're shy or just plain anti-social. I want you to at least tell me your name!"
The guy didn't even look at him, just wrote on his papers, looking to the book beside him before he continued to write. Blaine growled and snatched the book.
"Now will you listen to me", he spat and the guy turned his head to look at the place where the book had just been. Blaine saw the guy's brow furrow and he started to look around for the book.
"Uh hello", Blaine said and waved the book in the air. But the guy just bent down and looked underneath his desk.
"Okay fine", Blaine spat and put the book back. The boy sat up again and then saw the book. His eyes turned insanely big and he paled a bit.
"What is it", Blaine said and looked at the now closed book. "Oh sorry I closed it." He picked it up and the boy flew up and looked horrified.
"Are you afraid of germs or something", Blaine asked and held the now open book out to the guy. "Here you go." The guy stared at his desk in horror and then rubbed his eyes. Staring again afterwards.
"Oookay", Blaine said. "I'll just put it here then." He put the book on the desk and the guy stared with even bigger eyes and bolted from the room. He ran into the bathroom and locked the door behind him. Blaine heard it click. Blaine felt ashamed at once, maybe the guy really was afraid of germs. He walked up to the door and softly knocked it.
"You okay buddy", he asked. He got no answer so he tried the handle. He realized that it had been locked but to his surprise it opened just fine. He stepped into the room and saw… nothing. There was no one there.
"What the heck", he turned around and gaped in shock. The room was empty on the roomy's side! Not even his books at the desk were there. Blaine started shaking and backed towards the door. He rubbed his eyes and when he opened them… dust were everywhere and he bolted.
