Hi everyone! I'm IfGrassCouldTalk, but you can just call me Grass for short. I plan for this to be a very long story with multiple arcs. I want to go through all four years of high school, so expect this story to go on for a long time. This is 'Arc I: Don't Be Afraid'. I got the whole monster school thing from some anime that I can't remember. It was one of those harem anime that I couldn't figure out why I watched it in the first place. Anyways, there will be some creatures that I made up in the story. When they come up I'll post what the creature is in the A/N at the top. Also for future reference:

Italics for songs and when a character is reading something.

"Italics within quotation marks are thoughts."

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Blaine's Bad Luck

It was no secret that Blaine Anderson was unlucky. The friends that still liked him said he was unlucky for being a gay man in Ohio. However, they never said the other thing Blaine was unlucky for: having homophobic parents. Blaine also has a tendency to think out loud without noticing. When Blaine had started to think about the boy he was going to the Sadie Hawkins Dance his parents had walked by and flipped out at him. Then, after almost getting killed at the dance, his parents decided to send him away to boarding school. That landed him where he is now, looking out of the window of a train passing by some sort of forest.

The train slowed to a stop and Blaine became perplexed by the fact that he could still only see a forest. The conductor came out and told him it was the last stop.

"Did I miss the stop for Dalton?" The conductor laughed and handed Blaine a map, taking his stuff and leading him outside.

"No kiddo, you're at the right stop. Just follow that map to the trail and you should get their before orientation."

"Wait, you're saying I have to go through the forest to get to the school?"

"Not really. Once you get to the trail you won't actually be going through the forest. More like in between it. But you best get a move on, kid. You shouldn't have to bring your bags to orientation," the man walked back into the train and left a baffled Blaine behind. Shaking out of his reverie, Blaine lifted the strap of his guitar case onto himself and tied his backpack to his rolling suitcase, walking off to find the school.

Two hours and some sore muscles later, Blaine had finally arrived at Dalton Academy. He had a little less than an hour to find his dorm and get settled in before Freshman Orientation at eleven. Blaine took a map from one of the greeters outside the school and then went on to search for the boys' dormitory.

He located the elevator as soon as he got to the dorm. Luckily, most of the kids seemed to have gotten there earlier and were already in their rooms so there was only one other person walking towards the elevator. The boy had perfectly coiffed brown hair and was dressed to the nines. When the boy turned to look at him Blaine couldn't decide if his eyes were blue, green, or gray. The boy gave him a small smile.

"Hello," Blaine could swear he'd never heard a sweeter voice, "Are you a freshman too?"

Blaine smiled back, "Yeah, I'm Blaine, Blaine Anderson." Blaine shook hands with the boy as he began to reply.

"Kurt Hummel. What's your room number?"

"411," Kurt laughed a gentle, breathy laugh as Blaine gave him a confused look.

"The Fates must be with me today, I'm your roommate." Blaine grinned at this.

"Awesome!" Blaine exclaimed just as the elevator dinged for their floor. Kurt let out a giggle at Blaine's enthusiasm as they looked for their room.

"Ah! Here we are, room 411," the two boys walked inside and began to settle in.

"Why don't we play variable number of questions while we unpack?"

"Do you mean twenty questions?"

"Yes, but what if we have more than twenty questions?" Kurt shrugged but had a grin on his face.

"Sure, I'll play," Kurt replied while getting a large bundle of clothes out of his suitcase.

"Well, for one, how in god's name did you fit all those clothes in there?"

"Talent and lots of practice," Kurt winked at him and saw Blaine gingerly set down his guitar case.

"Is that a guitar?"

"Yep, I wouldn't go anywhere without 'er. My parents would give me a couple dollars for every 'A' I got. So, I saved up all that from when I was in third grade all the way to sixth."

"Wow, musically inclined and smart, must get all the girls."

"Well, uh, ironically I do, but, um, I'm actually gay." Blaine braced himself for Kurt's reaction.

"Really? I was afraid you were going to run out and ask to change rooms when I was going to admit to being gay," he laughed, "I guess I didn't have to worry that, huh?" Blaine smiled and his watch began to beep.

"Ah, that's my alarm to make sure I'm not late for the assembly. We should probably start to head down there."

After you, good sir." The two boys headed down to the assembly in a comfortable silence.

The assembly began shortly after they sat down. A man who looked to be in his mid-thirties started speaking, "Hello, students. Welcome to Dalton Academy. I am principal and founder of this school. After this assembly, you'll find your handbooks in your dorms and you can bring any questions to the office or a teacher. There is one thing that I must address now," Principal Dalton looked over the audience of students, "Here at Dalton we do not play favorites. We treat everyone equally no matter what you are. Thus, you are strictly forbidden to tell anyone what kind of supernatural creature you happen to be."

Blaine turned pale, wondering if it was a joke. Everyone around him didn't seem to be laughing, and the principal had a very serious look on his face.

"Geesh, he doesn't have to tell us that. No matter what school you go to you can't tell anyone. Otherwise all the different creatures would get into fights or the humans would hunt you down, right, Blaine?" Kurt turned to Blaine and became concerned, "Blaine? Blaine are you okay?" Blaine barely heard him as he blacked out.
