We all start groaning as we enter Glee Club to see Finn staring at the plaque of Lillian Adler. We all know this talk won't end well if he starts like this.
"Okay, guys, sit down. We got a lot of work to do today." Finn shouts. "No, seriously, come on, I mean it, sit down. Okay, so the first order of business today is to welcome the newest members to the Glee club- Ryder and Kitty." He continues as we all start to clap and cheer.
"Wait, don't we all get to vote on her or something?" Tina interrupts. "Well, Tina, Kitty was fantastic in Grease." Finn says. "In spite of my god-awful part." Kitty states as Tina throws her hand up. "Besides, we're under the gun. We... we have to go to Sectionals next week and we need 12 members to compete. Having exactly 12 would be pushing it." Tina grumbles silently to herself.
"Uh, look, where was I? Sectionals, yes. Here's the game plan." Finn turns and walks to the board, opens a marker and it breaks. He looks down. "Broke the marker." I roll my eyes. "Where does Mr. Shue keep the other markers? Uh... Screw it, uh. The theme is 'Foreigner'."
My head falls back and my eyes close. "We're gonna sing songs by a Foreigner in Foreign languages, wearing all the costumes of the world's nations." Artie laughs a little bit. "Wait, seriously, that's your idea?" Finn smiles. "Yeah."
"Kiki, what do you think?" Brittany asks her phone. It responds with, "I think I'm alive and you're the machine." I smile slightly. "Finn, times have changed. We're national champions now, which means we have to exceed all expectations, so if that's your best idea, I... I don't think we stand a chance." Blaine gets up and starts walking.
"Wait, where are you going?" Finn asks. "Rose." Blaine nods his head signaling for me to come with him. "We're going to get our trophy back from the Warblers-" he stops. "The one you haven't even noticed is missing." I finish. He looks over at the trophy case. "Crap, uh."
Blaine and I walk out into the hallway and to our lockers, which lucky for us are side by side. "Okay, change into your other clothes and meet me outside the library." I say. He nods, grabs his clothes, and heads to the boy's bathroom. I do the same, but obviously go to the girls.

I change into my clothes and make my way to the library. I knew I would take less time than Blaine, so I could have the opportunity to grab an American History book before he got to the library. I get outside just as he arrives. He looks at the book in my hands and smirks slightly. "Ready?" He asks. "Let's get out of here. The sooner I get to kick some Dalton ass the better."

Blaine and I walk down the stairs of Dalton Academy as the bells ringing and see none other than Sebastian Smythe standing at the bottom.
"Sebastian." Blaine says. "Of course it was you." I continue rolling my eyes. "No, it wasn't, I swear." He states, shaking his head. "I turned over a new leaf, remember? No more bullying, blackmail, or assault this year." "More like 'rock salt' if you ask me." I say glancing up at Sebastian who smiles lightly. "That must be boring for you." Blaine spits out. "Yeah, it is; being nice sucks. He waiting for you in the library." Sebastian admits, then looks over at the library doors. "Who is?" Blaine asks.
Sebastian looks over at us. "The guy, you're here to see. Captain of the Warblers." Both Blaine and I look confused. "I thought you were Captain of the Warblers." I answer slowly. He nods us to the doors. We look around and see a boy holding a cat spin around in a chair. More specifically the boy from the video.
"I knew they'd send you two. Allow me to answer the obvious questions. I'm Hunter Clarington, I am the new Captain of the Warblers," he looks over at me," and I'm not even remotely bi-curious." "How are you Captain of the Warblers when...?" I ask. "When you've never seen me before? Simple." He throws the cat to the ground. "Dalton just gave me a full scholarship to move here form Colorado Springs, where I lead my military academy choir to a Regionals victory with presidential honors. Now I'm here to kick it up a notch, and that starts with you two."
"That's very intimidating." Blaine says. "Where's the trophy, Hunter?" I ask. He smiles and laughs. "Don't worry, it's safe. It was just bait after all. See, Blaine, you're kind of a legend here. And, Rose, Sebastian tells me you have helped pick every song sung at any competition since joining your pathetic excuse of a 'Glee club.' I like that. So here's my offer: your little diversity club can have its Nationals trophy back when you rejoin the Warblers," he looks at Blaine then looks at me." And you agree to pick our songs."
"Why would I ever do that?" I ask. "And why would I ever leave McKinley?" Blaine questions. "Why would you stay? I heard you only went there to be with Kurt, right? In fact, I hear they even call you Blaine Warbler." Hunter fires back. It's true we do call him that.
"They know you don't belong there," Hunter says. "Don't listen to him Blaine." I interrupt. Hunter looks at me quickly before looking back at Blaine. "So why don't you?" The door opens and Sebastian and a few other Warblers walk in. "We all know the real Blaine, Blaine- ambitious, driven. You're a Dalton boy." Sebastian continues before Hunter speaks again. "Present the blazer."
"That's not going to work on me." Blaine says. "Then why be afraid to try it on?" Hunter questions. Blaine puts the blazer on and I know it won't end well. Hunter turns in between Blaine and I. He puts his right arm around Blaine's shoulders and his left around my waist. I try to get out of his hold, but he has a strong grip. There's no getting out of this now.
"Here's the thing you two. You both know that Nationals trophy was a fluke, just like you know we're going to win at Sectionals. Now, I don't want to see a Dalton legend and a beautiful girl like you sidelined in their senior year." He sits down smirking when he sees me blush from his comment,"I want you two on the winning side, here with us."
"You know what goes great with a new Dalton blazer?" Sebastian cuts in, "an impromptu song." Blaine and I turn around. "What? No, no." He says. "Oh, come on, one song for your old buddies." Sebastian pleads. "Guys, I didn't come here to sing a song." The Warblers start to vocalize and I sit down.
Near the end of the song Hunter walks over to me and holds his hand out to me and I take it. He spins me around a few times and I join Blaine up at the front of the formation of Warblers. Hunter's stare stings my skin.
"What'd I tell you? Flawless." Sebastian states talkin about Blaine, but Hunter was looking at me and he smiled. Blaine takes the blazer off. "Keep it." Hunter says, "It's already yours. Don't you think it's time you come back where you belong... Blaine Warbler?" Hunter then looks me up and down and smirks. We turn and walk away.
He may be a cocky, arrogant jerk, but he is hot as hell.
