"So your doing your first impromptu performance as lead tomorrow?" Cooper asked through the phone.
"How'd you know?"
"Mom told me Blainers… Keep up."
"Oh" I laughed.
"What song?"
"Teenage Dream by Katy Perry."
"Man, Blaine what is with you and the girl songs?"
"A song isn't defined by the sex that sings it Cooper."
"Sorry sorry calm down."
"I am calm… no I'm not. I'm so nervous what if I forget the words?"
"You won't."
"How do you know?"
"I know because you are Blaine Anderson and Blaine Anderson works best under pressure."
"Hush you your making me blush."
"You sound like Amber right now."
"How is Amber?"
"She's alright her moms really sick right now. Which reminds me, we may not be back home for a while because we are taking care of her mom."
"Oh no what's wrong?"
"She has breast cancer and her father died when she was younger so we are going to take care of her."
"Aww tell her I'm sorry."
"She's been sick for a while. Amber and her never got along though.They fight constantly."
"That's sad."
"It happens."
"Well I have to go practice I'll speak with you later?"
"Call me after you perform."
"Will do."
"Bye squirt."
"Stop that!"
"Sorry sorry won't happen again… okay it will but it's a reflex I don't mean it!"
"I'm hanging up now." i laugh and set the phone down on my table. Tomorrow I will be the opposite of what I was in my old school. Tomorrow I will be a rock star."
The performance went great. I helped a boy. A cute boy who was being bullied at school. He tried spying on us but I could tell there was reasoning behind it. he opened up to me and told me about the boy who was bothering him. I left out this boy entirely when I talked to Coop on the phone that night.
I hadn't talked to Cooper till months later besides emails. The boy Kurt was my new best friend and he transferred to Dalton with me after Karofsky (his bully) kissed him then threatened to kill him. That's just a bit scary.
So it wasn't until valentines day Cooper called me.
"Happy Valentines day buddy!"
"Coop… I fucked up…"
"Oh no what happened?"
"There was a guy… he was older and I don't know why I was stupid enough to think he liked me. I mean he's gay and stuff but we were just friends he didn't give me reason to believe otherwise and I went to the Gap like a fool and serenaded him with the other Warblers and he got really mad and they fired him." I took a breather. " OHMYGOD I got him fired from his job! How awful!" Then I heard Cooper laughing on the other line.
"So not funny right now."
"First, it most totally is funny Blainey boy and second calm down it's a job at the Gap… Couldn't have paid well anyway."
"That's true."
"Coop I gotta go, I'm meeting my friend for coffee. I'll talk to you soon okay?"
"Soon! It's been too long baby bro."
"Indeed bye Coop."
