Blaine Anderson burst into the common room of D wing and let out a loud, beautifully pitched: "Oh yeahhh!"  and was immediately  greeted with a chorus of bop bop's  and  oooOOOoooOO's   from his fellow warblers. He let out another cry again, "Oh yeah!"   the boys background beats grew louder as they stood and prepared for an another impromptu performance that was common in the D wing.

So scared of breaking it that you won't let it bend.

And I wrote two hundred letters I will never send.

Sometimes these cuts are so much deeper than they seem.

You'd rather cover up

I'd rather let them be

So let me be and I'll set you free.

His hazel eyes caught his boyfriends blue green ones and he smiled before he continued on singing.

I am in misery!

There ain't nobody who can comfort me

OH Yeah!

Why won't you answer me?

The silence is slowly killing me

Oh yeah!

With all the hub bub of the boys dancing around on the furniture and singing to their hearts content, they hadn't noticed the secretary coming in and leaning on the door frame. She was smiling and she listened to the beautifully harmonized voices of the boys' performance. She quietly laughed as Kurt Hummel took center stage away from his boyfriend to sing the next part.

Girl you really got me bad

Really got me bad

Now I'm gonna get you back.

I'm gonna get you back.

Blaine came and linked arms with Kurt and they started off now singing a duet of the next verse.

You say your faith is shaken

And you may be mistaken

You keep me wide awake and waiting for the sun

I'm desperate and confused.

The secretary smiled again as she found Blaine's pantomime of being confused quite funny.

Blaine dipped Kurt.

So far away from you.

And brought him back up so they were nose to nose.

I'm getting there I don't care where I have to roam.

They separated and each found a table as they (and the rest of the Warblers) pounded out the beat.

Why do you do what you do to me

Yeah

Why won't you answer me answer me

Yeah

Why do you do what you do to me

Yeah

Why won't you answer me answer me

Yeah!

The boys all fell into choreography again as they distanced themselves from the furniture.

Oh I am in misery

There ain't no body who can comfort me

Oh yeah!

Why won't you answer me

The silence is slowly killing me

Oh yeah!

The boys all moved back to their respective places as Blaine and Kurt belted out the finishing notes.

Girl you really got me bad

You really got me bad

Now I'm gonna get you back

I'm gonna get you back.

The final bop bops  faded out and all the boys immediately burst into cheers. Blaine smiled at Kurt and was about to pull him in for a kiss when they heard a female clearing her throat. Both boys leapt back from each other and looked in the direction it had come from.  Ms. Withers stood there, all five foot 4 inches of her. She smiled and gave they boys her own round of applause before she said "You boys get better every time you perform." All the boys in the room blushed. "But alas, the Dean wishes for your presence in his office Blaine." She gave him a quick glance then smiled her tired smile and walked back out.

"OOhhh! Blaine got in trouble!" Nick shouted from his perch by the window. Followed by Jeff's calls of "Someones gonna catch it big time from the Dean!"  Blaine blushed and collected his things in his messenger bag. Kurt helped him; leaned over and whispered "Dear Gaga, Blaine tell me you didn't do anything." Blaine smirked knowing very well he hadn't done anything wrong in the past week, but it was fun to mess with his boyfriend. So he simply looked Kurt in the eyes and did his best to act worried before replying "I didn't think they'd find out." He smiled inwardly and  he waltzed out of the common room and continued to walk by the spiral staircase and out the door, silently laughing at the sheer panic on Kurt's face at the thought of his beloved being suspended.

As Blaine made his way across the grounds he began to wonder why he was being called to visit the Dean. He was positive he had stayed out of trouble for the past week or so. He grades were decent, could be better if he wasn't so busy all the time. He continued to wonder as he walked into the office building. He made his way through the office, that smelled of coffee and cigarettes; smiling at some of the secretaries as he made his way through the building towards the back where the Dean's office reside.  Finally reaching his destination he knocked on the door only to receive a gruff "Wait." From behind the closed door. He shrugged and sat down on the wooden bench; looking around he saw the décor of the old building. Salmon colored walls and cream carpet. With a few hanging pictures of flowers and oceans spread about. It wasn't too bad but he knew Kurt would have a small but contained heart attack if he ever saw the decorations in the office. He smiled as he pondered the reaction when suddenly the door of the Deans office opened and there stood the man himself. Now Dean Gordon James was a big man, towering at 6 foot 5 and weighing roughly 280 pounds, he looked menacing to say the least. The smiled was swept off of Blaines face and replaced by a serious poker face as he waited for instruction. "You may come in," was all the Dean said and then he moved to go sit at his desk. Blaine peered in and saw that Dean James was not alone in the office. He stood and walked into the office and sat down in the chair next to the other person. Casually looking over Blaine saw a very beautiful girl sitting there in a modified version of the Dalton uniform.  "Who's this?" the boy asked looking over to the girl. Before the dean could answer, she smiled tentatively and said: " I'm Maria Martin." She then looked back down bashfully, hand still extended waiting for Blaine to grab it. He grabbed her hand and shook it with gusto. Looking up again she saw his award winning smile and all of her shyness evaporated and Maria unleashed her smile that made Blaine's smile look second best. "Blaine Anderson." He said. Then looked at Dean James waiting for some kind of clarification as to who this girl was and why she was there. Almost as if he had read young Anderson's mind he stated that Maria was the newest student to Dalton Academy. Blaine's jaw dropped. A girl? At Dalton?? No way! Dean's got to be pulling some joke on us! He's always so strict when one of the guys brings a date onto campus! Maybe she's the Deans family. Helping him out with a joke?  It was then that Blaine looked over and saw in her hands a schedule and housing assignment. Oh my god. It's true. For the first time since Dalton was built we have a female Dalton student.  Blaine tried his best to keep the surprise and confusion off his face. He worked up another smile and simply nodded. "Well, welcome to Dalton!" he said with as much cheerfulness he could muster behind the confusion. "Blaine, as one of my most trusted students I would like you to escort Miss Martin around campus and show her to her room. She'll be staying in your wing," Blaine relaxed. He knew the boys in D wing would gladly welcome the new girl. "Introduce her to some people and assist her as best as you can until the young lady is comfortable." The Dean gave his signature glare, telling Blaine he meant business. "Absolutely sir!" Blaine declared and smiled reassuring at the girl who suddenly looked very nervous. "Maria, can you go wait in the office for a minute? I have to discuss a few things with Blaine before he gives you the grand tour of Casa de Dalton." Dean James smiled at Maria as she collected her backpack and suitcase.  "As you wish." She whispered and wandered into the office. As the door shut, Dean James looked at Blaine and in a hushed tone whispered to him: "Maria has some psychological problems, with self- harm due to bullying. Sadly that's all I can tell you; if she opens up and tells you more then that is her choice. If she doesn't make sure none of the guys pressure her. Understood?" Blaine nodded.  Self harm?  He thought but she looked so happy. That doesn't seem like a girl hiding that kind of secret. But then again I hadn't known with Jeff either.  Lost in thought, he missed the Dean's second statement. Embarrassed he asked him to repeat it. "Off in la la land Mr. Anderson? Hmph. My second task for you is to watch out for her. The boys in this school with go crazy knowing there is a female within these walls. You know it, and I know it. Protect her at all costs and if you notice she might be harming again. Please let someone know. I am leaving her in your hands Anderson. I have put all my trust in you and I trust you shan't disappoint?"  "No sir, I won't. She's in good hands with me." The Dean simply nodded, then dismissed Blaine with a wave of his hand. Blaine gathered his bag, and opened the door and immediately found that she had disappeared. Great, not five minutes into my duty have I lost her. Looking back at the Dean as calmly as possible he waved goodbye and shut the door....then took off running to find Maria.

  It didn't take him long, he spotted her mane of deep blood red hair standing by the crystal fountain in the lobby.  Oh thank Gaga I found her! Hopefully I can do a better job of keeping an eye on her for the Dean. Last thing I need is him losing it on me because I let something happen to her.  Blaine let his inner monologue stop for a second as he tapped the red head on the shoulder. She ignored him, fascinated by the fountain. "It's so pretty." She said in a voice that sounded like a song. It was light and delicate. Blaine simply smiled and replied "It was a gift one of our old students sent from France; he had transferred but didn't want the school to forget him. Spent 100,000 dollars on this fountain. " The fountain  was carved out of beautiful crystal in the shape of a classic valentines heart, wrapped in a thorn vine. Water came from the dip at the top of the heart coating every edge in water before it trickled into the bottom of the fountain which was a crystal garden. Maria gasped when he told her the price. "All that for a school he doesn't even go to anymore?" Her eyes grew in amazement and then they looked at Blaine. What he saw was an exact mirror of his eyes, intensified by ten. Her eyes were a shocking gold, laced with jade and amber. The clearest and most intense eyes he'd ever seen in his life; Framed by thick long lashes, coated in mascara that made them ten times longer than they already were, and surrounded by dark eyeliner that only brought out the intensity more. Blaine realized she had asked a question and said with a reserved smile, "Dalton grows on you, everyone here becomes your brother and the school because your home. It's very hard to imagine life outside of Dalton because majority of us are only ever gone two weeks."  She nodded and turned her smoldering gaze back on the fountain. His phone buzzed in his pocket.

Received: 2:38 pm

Blaine smiled at his phone and typed back a quick reply, explaining what had happened. Less than thirty seconds after he sent it he got several messages all from D wing. All in shock that there was a female in their midst; a female in which he realized was wandering off again. "Whoa! Maria, lets get you settled in and then I'll give you the grand tour. Hm?" She looked at him, then grabbed her suitcase and waited for him to lead the way.  Blaine nodded and walked off in the direction of D wing, trying his best to ignore the incessant buzzing of his celluar device. "Be warned," he whispered as the approached the door of the wing. "The boys in here are excited to have a new roommate, especially a female and expect a severe game of twenty questions. " He glanced over at her and she looked pale from nervousness.  "Don't worry, they don't bite." And he winked as he opened the door of the dorms and released her into the wild army of boys waiting beyond it.
