Coming home from his second day at a new school in a new state to a new house to live his new life felt surreal.  Blaine’s world changed so fast after what happened at his last school that his head was still spinning trying to let it all absorb.  Most of the time he felt like he was constantly waking up from a dream and trying to get his bearings.  On repeat.  For over a week or more now.  His mother tried to reassure him he’d settle, that this was for the best.  But he wasn’t so sure.

When he saw a blond boy sitting on the top porch stair, he stopped dead in his tracks.  A crease brought on by curiosity ran between his eyebrows and across his forehead.  “Hi,” that same confusion was apparent in the bewildered tone of his voice and smile that slowly appeared as he stepped towards the stranger.  “I don’t think we’ve met..  I’m Blaine.  Can I help you?”
