It was the day of sectionals, and I couldn't have been more nervous, but mostly I was pissed due to the outfit I was supposed to wear.
"Hunter! I can't wear this!" I yelled to him outside my door.
"Why not? You'll look hot." He called back. I rolled my eyes.
"There's a difference between looking hot and looking like a stripper!" I snapped, and I heard him laugh.
"Let me see." I stormed out of the room and into his field of vision. His eyes raked over my body, and I looked down. "You look fantastic."
"I look like a whore, Hunter."
"Perfect, we need your sexiness to win this." I stepped back, appalled at his words.
"Hunter I can't do this." He stepped closer to me, and I stepped back, hitting the wall. He leaned in really close, and smirked.
"You will, or you're going to regret it. You know better than anyone I get what I want. Don't think I won't make Dalton a living hell for you." And with that, he walked away. I sighed shakily, knowing I didn't have a choice if I wanted to stay in the only school I'd ever had friends in.
I made my way backstage where the other Warblers were waiting, and as soon as they all saw me, jaws were dropping. I quickly found Sebastian's eyes, and I felt insanely self-conscious. His jaw had dropped, and the other Warblers chuckled at his reaction. Nick came over quickly, though, grabbing me by the arm and pulling me off to the side.
"Amy, what are you wearing?" I groaned quietly.
"Hunter made me wear it, I feel so awkward in it. And the way Sebastian's looking at me..."
"Amy, this isn't your fault. And ignore him, he's the one who didn't trust you. And he has no right to look at you like that anymore." I sighed, realizing he was right. I smiled at him, and he smiled down at me. I walked behind the curtain to the other side of the stage. I made eye contact again with Sebastian, and he looked at me sadly. It's been a week since we've broken up, but it honestly felt like longer. I missed him, but it was better this way.
"I'm Hunter Clarington and we're the Dalton Academy Warblers. Hope you enjoy the show." I didn't go out right away with the rest of the boys.
Warblers: Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby Let me know Girl I'm gonna show you how to do it And we start real slow You just put your lips together And you come real close Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby Here we go
This was when I came out, and I'd be lying if I said Hunter's hands weren't all over me the whole performance.
Hunter: (Look) I'm betting you like people And I'm betting you love freak mode And I'm betting you like girls that give love to girls And stroke your little ego
Amelia: I bet you I'm guilty your honor That's just how we live in my genre Bet your lips spin back around corner Slow it down baby take a little longer
Warblers: Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby Let me know Girl I'm gonna show you how to do it And we start real slow You just put your lips together And you come real close Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby Here we go
Hunter: It's like everywhere I go My whistle ready to blow Shawty don't leave a note She can get any by the low Told me she's not a pro It's okay, it's under control Show me soprano, 'cause girl you can handle
So amusing, now you can make a whistle with the music Hope you ain't got no issue, you can do it Give me the perfect pitch, ya never lose it
Warblers: Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby Let me know Girl I'm gonna show you how to do it And we start real slow You just put your lips together And you come real close Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby Here we go
The whole time, I noticed how fake Sebastian's smile was. He was putting up a front, like he didn't care, when we both knew he did.
[Sebastian:] Hey girl, I'm waitin' on ya, I'm waitin' on ya Come on and let me sneak you out And have a celebration, a celebration The music up, the window's down
Amelia: Yeah, we'll be doing what we do Just pretending that we're cool And we know it too Yeah, we'll keep doing what we do Just pretending that we're cool So tonight
[Sebastian and Amelia with The Warblers:] Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy till we see the sun I know we only met but let's pretend it's love And never, never, never stop for anyone Tonight let's get some And live while we're young
Sebastian: And girl, you and I, We're 'bout to make some memories tonight
[Hunter:] I wanna live while we're young We wanna live while we're young
[Sebastian with The Warblers:] Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy till we see the sun I know we only met but let's pretend it's love And never, never, never stop for anyone Tonight let's get some And live while we're young Crazy, crazy, crazy till we see the sun I know we only met but let's pretend it's love And never, never, never stop for anyone Tonight let's get some And live while we're young Wanna live, wanna live, wanna live Come on, younnngg Wanna live, wanna live, wanna live While we're young Wanna live, wanna live, wanna live Tonight let's get some
[Sebastian:] And live while we're young
The crowd cheered loudly, and I smiled meekly. I felt so exposed in the outfit I was in; I wanted to cry.
We walked off stage, and Nick took off his blazer, placing it on my shoulders. He must've seen how awkward I was afterwords, and I smiled at him. We walked into the audience to watch the New Directions perform.
They were doing really well, until this one girl passed out on the stage. I got really scared, she had looked really dizzy the whole time. I placed my hand on Nick's shoulder, starting to stand up.
"I'm gonna go see if she's okay." He nodded as I awkwardly nudged past people in the row. I walked speedily through the halls and I almost reached the choir room when I felt a hand grab my arm, and yank me into a closet. I immediately felt hands running up my sides and looked up to see... Hunter.
