I’ve moved to Lima
From this town called Westerville.
This is my new home.

I moved for reasons.
Hopefully I can make friends,
I lost my others.

“I’ll see you later.”
My mom waves me a goodbye.
“Have a good day, Blaine.”

I go to the front,
still having forms to turn in.
I opens the doors.

I crash suddenly.
“God, I’m sorry!” says the boy.
He drops his textbooks.

“No, no it’s my fault.”
I help and pick up his things.
“Here you go!” I smile.

He just looks at me.
We locked eyes for a moment,
And he takes his books.

I then watch him leave,
And just smile to myself.
He’s really pretty.

Just got my schedule.
I have geometry first.
Here we go. I think.

This class is easy.
(At least compared to Dalton)
I miss life before.

They said there was a
“No bullying policy“.
That didn’t stop them.

The boy’s name is Kurt,
A girl in second told me.
Hope we have a class.

Sat alone at lunch,
But that’s nothing new for me.
Far away sits Kurt.

The day goes by fast.
I do have a class with him.
Kurt’s fluent in French.

I just joined Glee club.
I caught him looking at me.
I sang ‘Teenage Dream‘.

The Glee kids are nice,
Though Rachel seems annoying.
He smiled at me.

I think my heart stopped.
His smile is wonderful.
I’m sure he is too.

I talk with the guys.
“Kurt is gay, right?” I ask Puck.
He raises a brow.

“Yea,” Puck frowns at him.
“You got a problem with it?”
I raise my hands up.

“No, no of course not!”
“Are you gay, Blaine?” Mike asks me.
“I’m just curious…”

They all look at me.
My heartbeat picks up a bit.
I don’t answer though.

Mr. Shue calls me.
I graciously leave the group.
The guys look confused.

I sleep well that night.
McKinley doesn’t seem bad.
I dream of closets...

-------

Kurt said “Hi.” today.
I then introduced myself,
But he knows my name.

We talked during French.
Wonder if he knows I’m gay,
What do I do then?

I sat with Kurt at lunch.
“You two are cute.” Rachel laughed.
Him and I both blushed.

I feel obvious.
I know I don’t scream gay but,
People still find out.

Time for class with Kurt.
“Ready?” He closes his locker.
“Yep.” I grin at him.

We walk together.
I survey all the students.
I get a few looks.

I feel uneasy,
The jocks kind of glare at me.
I do not look back.

If they know I’m gay…
I’m stressing, sitting in math.
Do they even know?

Should I just come out?
I don’t know if I want to.
“In or out?” Kurt asks.

I turn to him, shocked.
“Wha-what do you mean by that?”
My heart’s in my throat.

“The math problem, duh.”
I continue to stare at him.
“Are you alright, Blaine?”

“Um yea, I’m f-fine.”
“Okay.” His eyebrows furrow.
“It’s ‘in’ by the way…”
