Later that evening after Kurt had dinner, he headed down for his second Warbler rehearsal. He had a terrible headache but he drugged himself up on enough ibuprofen that he was numb. Kurt couldn't afford to miss the second Warbler rehearsal.

He trudged in holding only his notebook and his binder of colorful paper. This time he wasn't the first one in. Wes, Nick, and Jeff were sitting on chairs doing homework. Nick and Jeff's fingers were interlaced with each other's.

After another minute or so, in strolled another Warbler that Kurt didn't recognize. This must be Blaine. He wasn't at rehearsal yesterday.

Blaine had extremely dark grey hair, almost black. It was shiny from the sheer amount of gel in it. It was as if his hair was taking a bath in the gel. He was small and his dark grey blazer was too big for him. He had light grey skin. Kurt noticed that the piping on his uniform was... red.

This time, instead of Kurt rushing up to greet Blaine, Blaine saw Kurt from across the room and his face lit up. He strutted over to Kurt.

"Hi there! I'm Blaine Anderson. You must be the new kid everyone's talking about. I heard you're going to give me a run for my money." He laughed. Kurt smiled.

What is up with everyone talking about me? Kurt was still very confused. He finally asked the question that had been pestering his mind. "Blaine, why is everyone talking about me?"

"Oh, they all say you're super talented." Blaine said simply and found a seat next to Trent who had just walked in. Kurt frowned.

If I'm so good then why did I only sway in the background at McKinley?

Once everyone had finished filing in, Wes smacked his gavel against the desk. "Attention everyone!" Everyone shushed one another until everyone was quiet. Kurt sat next to Trent and Thad. He ran his fingers through his dark grey hair.

"Remember, tomorrow is movie night for the warblers in the Junior/Senior common room."

Trent nudged me gently. "You should go." He whispered.

"I-I don't know. I've got a lot of homework."

"Awww, please?"

Kurt thought about it. He really did have homework. He imagined Mercedes and Rachel's face if they found out that he had declined an opportunity to make friends. "Well I suppose I can always do it tomorrow and Wednesday during study hall."

"Really? Yay!" Kurt smiled half heartedly.

"Trent! Kurt! Quiet!" Wes ordered as Kurt's flushed a deep shade of pink. Whoa, I didn't think I'd be thinking that so soon. "Anyways, as I was saying, I think we should show Kurt our showstopper from last year just so he gets a taste for our style. Assuming you all still have it memorized.

Blaine snickered with an eye roll, "There's no way we could forget."

"Well then prove it," Smirked Nick. Blaine gave him a half smile. Everyone stood up. They gathered in the center of the room, facing Kurt. Blaine stood in the front with the rest of the Warblers behind him. "Hit it!" Music started playing. It was Kurt's favorite song.

"You think I'm pretty
Without any make-up on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the punch line wrong
I know you get me
So I'll let my walls come down, down"

Blaine started the song. His voice was like a dream. It was low, but not too low. He had a boy band, pop star voice. The Warblers swayed back and forth to the music.

"Before you met me
I was alright
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my valentine, valentine
You and I
We'll be young forever
You make me feel like I'm living a, teenage, dream
The way you turn me on
I, can't, sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My, heart, stops
When you look at me
Just, one, touch
Now baby I believe
This, is, real
So take a chance
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
You make me feel like I'm living a, teenage, dream
The way you turn me on
I, can't, sleep"

Kurt grinned wildly.

"This, is, real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
I'mma get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
You, make, me feel like I'm living a, teenage, dream
The way you turn me on
I, can't, sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight (tonight, tonight, tonight)"

They finished and everyone cheered loudly. Kurt clapped with a grin. "Whooooooo! We sound just as good now as nationals!" Thad fist bumped Marvin.

"That was amazing!" Kurt congratulated. "Not to be rude, but you could just use a few more dance moves." It got silent as everyone stared at Kurt. Kurt shifted uncomfortably.

"What do you mean?" Asked Marvin, breaking the silence.

"I just mean, you guys kind of just swayed back and forth. Sure, your voices were amazing and the a cappella was astounding, but this is a show choir. Are you supposed to like... you know... show?" The room started to break out in arguments until Wes whacked his gavel against the desk again.

"Silence!" The arguing died down.

"You know, I think he's right." Blaine agreed, "Maybe that's why we only placed tenth last year in regionals. We kind of just stood there, and well, swayed back and forth. I mean, you look at Vocal Adrenaline and their choreography is outstanding." This encouraged another outburst of arguments.

After a minute or so, Wes made an attempt to quiet everyone down again. Once they had all shut up he said, "All in favor of adding more choreography into our performances?" A little over half of the hands in the room shot up. Blaine, Kurt, Wes, Thad, Marvin, and Jeff, and Nick were among them. "Well then it's settled. We'll start adding more choreography. I'm sure the headmaster won't mind hiring a choreographer." Wes said in all seriousness. "We start making our set list tomorrow!" Wes finally called as everyone buzzed out the door and made their way to their dorms.
