He walked in through the front doors and into the front office. He was handed a schedule and his locker combination. It was a new year and a new him. No one knew his story or the fact that he was gay, even though he thought people could probably tell. But this was a fresh start for Blaine. He didn't care what people thought of him. This year he wasn't changing for anyone.
Blaine made his way to his locker, opening it and started to place some decorations in it. A Harry Potter picture, because who didn't like Harry Potter? A few magnets and a note that said "Love is happiness" then shut his locker. Right as he turned around he felt the sharp pain of something cold and wet hitting his face.
"Welcome to McKinley new kid!!"
Cold, all he could think of was COLD! Blaine stood there a minute eyes closed and not moving trying to think of a plan, but before he knew it someone had taken his arm and was leading him to god knows where. Then he recognized where he was, the boy's bathroom, a warm paper towel being brushed a crossed his eyes and face. He didn't know who had chosen to help him but the thing he knew was that this guys hands were really soft.
His heart fluttered when he opened his eyes and saw who was standing in front of him. Could it really be who he thought or was this slushy blurring his vision? Who knew, he couldn't tell, until....
"Hi, I'm Kurt, are you new here?"
That was the moment he knew this was the guy at the coffee shop and at sectionals. He looked up to find blue eyes piercing his soul. But with a questioning look he remembered that Kurt had said something. Say something interesting...
"Uh.... Yea, Blaine, new kid." Oh wow, really original...He held out his hand, and received the world's softest hand in return. The shake wasn't strong but wasn't weak either. He lingered a little longer than average and then quickly dropped his hand. "Sorry." He blushed a little, but thankfully the slushy was covering his face a little so it didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. He stood there awkwardly as Kurt finished cleaning his face and then handed him a plain white t-shirt.
"Here you go. I always keep an extra shirt around just in case. Good thing to. Or else you would be stuck in that sticky thing all day." Kurt said eyeing Blaine's outfit. Pin-stripped pants, with a red sweater. Blaine could have sworn he saw a look in Kurt's eye, but brushed it off as nothing, seeing as this was the first time they were meeting and he had always made himself see things that hadn't been there before.
"Uh... thanks?" he said as he went to a stale to change his shirt. This was definitely not how he wanted to start his first day at a new school. But what could he say? He took off his sweater, and slipped on the t-shirt, tucking it into his pants. Then made his way out of the stale.
"So, where did you come from?"
"Oh, over at Westerville, at Dalton." Blaine said.
"So were you a warbler?!" Blaine couldn't help but see the enthusiasm in Kurt's voice.
"Actually, yes. I was kinda the lead. Why?"
"Well see, I'm part of the New Directions, and we always accept new members. Maybe you could think of trying out, since I'm thinking you're the one I saw last semester at sectionals." Ahhh, finally Kurt had put two and two together.
"Yep that was me." Blaine did a little laugh and it fell silent for a few minutes before the bell rang.
"Well Blaine, I guess I will see you around. Maybe even at Glee..." Kurt said as he walked towards the door. "We start at 3:00, so be there, with something prepared of course. Shouldn't be that hard for you!" Kurt shot him a smile and walked out.
Blaine looked at himself in the mirror, a flush coming over him at the thought of Kurt's smile. He waved the memory out of his mind and walked out of the bathroom looking at his schedule. First hour, french three with Mrs. Folkerts. Awesome.
On his way to French, Kurt ran into Rachel and Mercedes. They talked for a little before the two minute bell rang. Kurt was very careful not to tell the girls about his little run in with Blaine. Blaine, the new kid that Rachel and Mercedes couldn't stop talking about. Blaine, the cute boy at the coffee shop, and the one who got a slushie facial on his first day of school. He had finally talked to him. Although the whole slushie in the face thing helped. He had seen the whole thing go down, and jumped at the opportunity. And even though he thought Blaine wasn't gay, it wouldn't be such a loss, because after Kurt left the Lima Bean he remembered seeing Blaine at sectionals, and was going to try and convince him to join New Directions.
But after the whole cleaning Blains face and having him blush like a freaking tomato, although he thought Blaine didn't see him see the blush, Kurt didn't know what to think anymore. He thought Blaine wasn't gay, but he did dress really nice, and he shook his hand for a lot longer than most people and he blushed then and Kurt didn't know what to think any more.
But he needed to get the thought over taking his thoughts because he had French, and although it was one of his easier classes, he didn't want to be distracted.
But as he stepped into the class room, there sat his distraction. Blaine was sitting in a table, alone, twirling his thumbs. And Kurt's heart wrenched a little. Mrs. Folkerts told him to sit anywhere so he went to sit at a table next to a kid Brett, but quickly turned around and took the seat next to Blaine.
"Hey Blaine. I didn't know you took French, well I guess I don't know that much about you since you just moved here, but.... Anyway, you take French!" Kurt stuttered his way through that sentence and turned his head to face the front after feeling his face get hot.
"Yea, I've been taking it forever. I also speak Italian. There now you know something new about me. Your turn." Blaine smiled, as Kurt looked with wide eyes at him. Was he flirting with me, no no this is just TALKING.
"Oh." Kurt just said with a smile on his face. "I also take French." He said with a sarcastic tone.
As the class dragged by, they talked, Kurt learning a lot more about Blaine than Blaine was learning about Kurt. But he wasn't complaining. He learned things like Blaine had an older sister and an older brother, who was getting married in the spring. He lives with his mom because his dad doesn't like who he is. Although he didn't really go into what his father didn't like about him. But Kurt didn't push. Then the bell rang, and he packed his things up, before turning to Blaine.
"So, what's next on your schedule?" Blaine unfolded a piece of paper, and handed it to Kurt.
1:French-Folkerts
2:Pre-Calc:Lilyblade
3:Health/PE:Gonzo
4:APUSH: Matthie
5: Off hour
6: Off hour
7: Adv. Comp.:Garrett
8: AP Chem.: Blas
"Wow you're taking a lot of senior level classes," Kurt said looking at the list.
"Well, I kinda got advanced at Dalton, so they pushed me into higher level classes to keep up with my skill level." Blaine said while pocketing the paper.
"Well, we have most of out classes together, Mr. To advanced for McKinley." Kurt laughed as Blaine blushed a little.
"I guess I will see you later in --? Blaine trailed off.
"APUSH, Matthie, she is a little crazy but a fantastic teacher." The two minute bell rang; Kurt looked at Blaine and waved before walking to his next class.
The next two periods dragged on forever. Kurt was looking forward to getting to APUSH to talk to Blaine. But really what was he thinking? He can't be crushing on a new kid he has known for an hour that isn't even gay. Or well he still didn't know. Blaine was sending signs. But Kurt could just be making everything up. He did that a lot. He was still confused from this morning. Kurt was brought out of thought by the bell. He packed up his stuff and walked out of the room with Santana and Brit. He saw Blaine round the corner and smiled at him before he disappeared into Matthie's room.
"What was that?" Santana asked.
"I don't know what you are talking about" Kurt said with a blush.
"THAT!!!" Santana screamed seeing Kurt blush, "Who is the new kid?"
Thankfully the bell rang so Kurt didn't have to answer because he honestly didn't know what that was. He just knew that maybe it could become something.
He walked into the class only to see Blaine, smiling at him and ushering him over to the seat next to him. Which he gladly accepted.
