"I'm telling you, it's been keeping me up at night. Something weird's going on with the Warblers," Sam explained. "They're doing all those weird flips and superhuman jumps at Sectionals."

"You're totally right," Izzy agreed.

"And where was Roundfaced Warbler? Blaine said he was there when he went back to Dalton, but come Sectionals, poof, he's gone."

"So you're saying what, they cheated or something?" Izzy was confused.

"Exactly," he was ecstatic.

"Sam, you need evidence if you're going to accuse them of that."

"Then I'll find some!" he exclaimed. "Do you have my chapstick with you?" he then asked. Conspiracy theories made his lips dry.

"Of course I do. Always with me for emergencies," Izzy said as she handed him his chapstick.

"Thanks," Sam said, applying the chapstick. "Alright, I'm going to be late for student council," he handed the chapstick back.

"And I'm going to be late for Cheerios practice," Izzy said.

"See you around," they said at the same time as they went their separate ways.

Izzy, Blaine, Kitty, and Sam walked into the science classroom where the glee club was having their meeting. The Sadie Hawkins dance was coming up and it was evident that the girls were all excited.

"I want to sit under Uranus," Sam said, looking at the planets. This sent the three of them into a fit of giggles.

The four of them sat near each other, waiting for Finn to start. "So, this week in glee club, it's ladies choice inspired by Sadie Hawkins. Every girl will sing to whoever they want to take to the dance."

Sam looked at Izzy, excitedly waiting for her performance. She looked over at Kitty, immediately feeling the tension between her, Marley, and Jake. Yes, Kitty did make up with Marley, but that wouldn't stop her from getting exactly what she wanted— Jake. Izzy tapped her on the shoulder and gave her a warning look.

"You are not embarrassing yourself, I won't let you," Izzy leaned in and whispered.

Kitty rolled her eyes. "Fine, but I need a new boy toy. I'm not letting Marley get Jake while I get no one."

Izzy chuckled. "You'll find a guy eventually."

"Easy for you to say, you have a boyfriend," Kitty replied dryly.

Izzy and Sam had been hanging around each other, and they were supposed to watch Tina ask someone out in the locker room.

"Who do you think she's going to ask out?" Sam asked her, walking hand in hand.

"Hopefully not you," Izzy replied.

"And I hope Ryder doesn't ask you either," he said, jealousy laced in his voice.

"Yeah, because I only have eyes for one guy," Izzy teased.

"Me?"

"No. Blaine. But you are a close second," Izzy joked.
