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

Whistle baby, whistle baby,
Whistle baby, whistle baby

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.
