New Girl In Town (1) ✔️

Dalton Dates

I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. A quick glance at my phone confirms that last night's phone call was in fact real.

My Warbler:  Cannot wait to see your beautiful face later. Should I mention anything to the others or do you want this to be a surprise?
Me:  You can hint that I'm showing up. Say Blaine mentioned it. But don't say anything about your coffee proposal.
My Warbler:  You're sneaky Pretty Girl.  That's so hot.
Me: I try. See you later Sebby.
My Warbler: Have a good day Pretty Girl. I'll be thinking of you until I see you again.

I smile and set my phone down heading for the shower.  Humming to myself I let the smell of coconut envelope my senses.  Wrapping myself in my fluffy towel I head to my closet to choose the perfect look for today.

Finally I settle on my baby pink sweater with the white collar and cuffs. Pairing it with a black pleated skirt, black tights and my black and silver ballet flats. I quickly braid my hair and put on a black sparkly head band as well. Taking a look in the mirror I see I look classy, smart and cute. I should fit right in when I'm at Dalton later, looking all preppy.

I gather up my bags and head downstairs with a smile on my face. Blaine is waiting for me and gives me a smile in return.

"Why if you don't look cheerful and cute today. Is it because we're going to visit Dalton later? Anything you want to share, cuz??"

Oh no. He didn't hear me on the phone last night, did he? I thought I was talking softly enough. I brush it off, he can't be that intuitive.

"Thank you Prince Ali. I try. Yesterday went so well that I just feel happier. Lima is growing on me. And maybe I'm just happy at the idea of getting to see my friends at Dalton. To see where you used to go to school."  I shrugged. Blaine nods at me, I guess my explanation was convincing enough. We head off to school.

**time skip until last period**

Both Blaine and I have a free period at the end of the day so we decided to leave early for Dalton since Westerville is almost an hour and a half away.

We entertain ourselves in the car singing silly with the radio and chatting about our classes. He tells me about the writing assignment he has for English. And I fill him in on my Anatomy project.

"So you're pretty, personable, have an angelic voice and are taking a full course load of advanced classes. What can't you do Shann?"

Holding my hands above my head, I throw my head back and reply, "Fly..."

Immediately Blaine catches my reference. "You've been watching 'Ever After' again haven't you?"

I laugh, tapping his nose as we exit the car. "Blainey-bear you know me too well. Now let's go surprise those prep school boys."

We head into the building holding hands. Swinging our arms back and forth like we used to do when we are little. At one point he twirls me around like we're dancing through the halls, eliciting odd looks from students that we pass. We stifle giggles as we hurry towards the Warbler room. I start to hear singing as I get closer. Good I didn't miss practice. I was dying to see Sebastian in captain mode.

The doors are open so Blaine and I sneak in as the Warblers begin to sing with Nick taking the lead. Sebastian is just perched on the arm of a couch.

Uptown Girl (see video above)
The Warblers:
Oooooh...

Nick with The Warblers harmonizing:
Uptown girl

She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an
