norma.

she had considered speaking, or trying to anyway – but quickly
decided against it. blaine seemed to be enjoying her company, 
and she was not about to jeopardize that. nobody, besides some
of the staff members of course, knew norma’s reasoning behind
her silence. at the last school she had been to, word spread fast
and she quickly decided that being the girl who never spoke was
better than being the girl who was picked on relentlessly for not
being able to. her thumb ran over the strap of her bag as the two
of them walked, using her other hand to dismissively wave off
his thanks with a soft shake of her head, clearly happy to provide
the company. she looked to him as he introduced himself and
nodded, pausing a moment before she wrote on a new page of 
her notepad. – you’re in the glee club, right? – 

The halls were relatively empty seeing as how most people were
in class or in the library on their study hour.  Cutting out for a soda
wouldn’t get them into trouble, right?  Blaine figured not with the
teachers busy and them minding their own business.  They could
go back in a few minutes and no one would be any the wiser.
Perfect plan!  See?  Leaning over as he saw her write–Blaine read
her question and brightened up considerably.  His expression shifted
from his polite smile to an excited, happy grin.  “Yeah.  I am.  All my
friends are.  I know some people might not think it’s that cool but–,”
he gave her a quizzical look complete with burrowed brows and
pursed lips that spread into an inviting smile, “You should come
listen to us sing sometime.  You’re always welcome to.  What do
you do here?  Do you belong to any clubs?”
