Hunter Clarington [One-Shot/Stories]

make him obsessed

The girls of New Directions gathered in Rachel's bedroom, sprawled in a circle on the floor with bowls of popcorn and sodas around them. Laughter echoed as the game of Truth or Dare reached Scarlett's turn. Leaning back on her elbows, she wore a confident grin while sitting cross-legged among Rachel, Santana, Brittany, Tina, and a few others, reveling in the game's thrilling unpredictability.

When it was Scarlett's turn, she didn't hesitate. "Dare," she said confidently, leaning back on her hands with a playful smirk.

Santana's eyes gleamed with mischief, and she rubbed her hands together. "Oh, I've got just the thing," she said, leaning forward as if about to share a juicy secret. "How about this: You have to turn one of the Warblers into your lovesick puppy—your simp."

Scarlett raised an eyebrow, her interest piqued. "Okay, that doesn't sound too bad," she said slowly. "Not just any simp," Santana corrected. "Someone who won't stop staring at you, who can't think about anything but you, and who'd risk it all just to please you. You need to make him obsessed."

The rest of the girls burst into giggles at Santana's audacious dare, but Scarlett didn't back down. "Alright, I'll do it. Name the guy, and I'll make it happen."

A discussion quickly broke out among the girls as they considered their options. Rachel was the first to chime in. "How about Blaine?" she suggested. "He's really sweet, and you could probably—"

"Absolutely not," Santana interrupted, rolling her eyes. "Blaine's basically married to Kurt, and even if he wasn't, he's way too nice for this. We need someone who'll actually put up a fight."

Brittany's hand shot up like she was in class. "What about Sebastian?" she asked, tilting her head thoughtfully. "He's kind of a flirt."

Tina nodded in agreement. "Yeah, and he's always acting like he's too cool. He's definitely got that snobby attitude."

Scarlett shook her head. "Sebastian's a friend. He'd know something was up the second I started batting my eyelashes at him," she explained. "Plus, he'd probably call me out in front of everyone just for a laugh."

"Exactly why we need a real challenge," Santana said, her eyes narrowing. There was a brief silence as the girls mulled over their options. Then her grin widened as if she'd just struck gold. "I've got the perfect target. Hunter Clarington."

The name hung in the air for a moment, and the room seemed to fall silent. Even Scarlett felt a shiver run down her spine. Hunter Clarington was known for being rich, snobby, and a little too full of himself. As the captain of the Warblers, he had a reputation for being harsh and demanding. The thought of turning someone like him into a lovestruck fool wasn't just difficult—it was downright daunting.

Rachel looked at Santana, then back at Scarlett. "Hunter? Isn't that too hard?" Santana ignored her, beaming at Scarlett as if challenging her: "Rich, snobby, rude, and with an ego the size of Texas. If you can turn that guy into a simp, I'll personally bow down to you."

Brittany shrugged, a sly smirk playing on her lips. "Exactly. That's what makes this fun," she said. "Unless you think you can't handle it, Scarlett."

"Oh, please," Scarlett scoffed, her pride refusing to let her back down. "I can handle him. Just watch me."

The girls erupted into laughter and cheers, and the game was set. The dare was simple, but the execution would be anything but. Scarlett had to make Hunter Clarington fall for her—hard. She had to turn the rich, sarcastic, egotistical Warbler into someone who couldn't take his eyes off her, someone who would bend over backward for her, and someone who would risk everything to be by her side.
