"I'm coming to Los Angeles too. I got into USC."

I look at Trent with wide eyes as I process what he just told us.  "LA?! For real real not for play play??" Trent just nods enthusiastically at me, face split in a wide smile, eyes shining at me.

I can't help myself as I squeal, practically leaping off Sebastian's lap to launch myself at him.

"MY CHILD IS COMING TO LA WITH ME!!!!!!!!"

Trent wasn't expecting the full force of my body to hurtle itself at him. He didn't brace himself. And we both end up toppling off the loveseat, my arms wrapped around him.  This attracts the attention of the entire room.  Sebastian is just shaking his head at me. 

But everyone else seems highly confused by my actions.  Blaine scrambles to his feet and leans down over where Trent and I are now giggling as we lay on the floor.  "Belle, what in the world are you two doing on the floor?"

I'm still smiling like a crazy person when I look up at him, my arms wrapped tightly around Trent. "Aladdin!!! My baby boy is coming to LA with me!!! I'm just so happy!!!!!" Trent chuckles as he loosens my arms from around him, kissing my cheek fondly. "Shann, I'm a week and a half older than you. I'm not sure how I can be your child."

"He's got a point there Belle."

I shake my head, grabbing his face in both of my hands, squeezing his cheeks and pressing a kiss firmly on his lips. Sebastian holds out a hand to help me up as I leave a stunned and blushing Trent on the floor beside the loveseat. "Pish posh Trenton. I did not carry and birth you all the while still in utero myself to be disrespected this way. My beautiful unicorn of a child."

He is shaking his head as Blaine extends a hand to help him up, although he can't really hide his soft giggles.

Everyone else is the room is still completely perplexed by my outburst.  I can hear the comments rippling through the crowd.

"Why did she throw herself at Trent?"

"I thought he was gay, like super, uber gay.  But he's totally blushing from all of that."

"Trent's going to LA?  Wes why didn't we know that?"

"What I wouldn't give to have her tackle me like that...."

I shake my head until I hear a comment volleyed forth from a vaguely familiar voice.  It sounds like that freshman kid, Jeremy.  You know the one who freaked out about the photos of Hunter and I.  Who doesn't understand why everyone fawns over Sebastian as leader.

He's the one to ask the question they're all wondering.

"Hey Nixon!!  If she's your mom, would your dad be Smythe or Clarington?  Because you know....   she's with them both right?"

If it were possible to kill a person with just a look this kid would be dead many times over from that comment alone. I stare at him incredulously before stealing a quick look around the rest of the room.  I spy at least six different people giving him rampant death glares.

Sebastian and Hunter obviously.

As well as Blaine, Jeff and Nick.

Oddly enough that other freshman, the one who said he was his roommate is the sixth.

What was his name again???

I rack my brain as the smirk on this kid's face dies.

Skylar.

Yes, yes.  The sixth kid giving him the evil eye, his name was Skylar.

The one person I'd expect to be glaring isn't.  Trent just levels a cool glance around the room, plastering a sly smile on his face.  "Oh I'd be happy if either of them were My Daddy.  And by the sound of it, you're a little jealous of my good fortune, Cavanaugh."

This Jeremy kid's eyes go so wide I'm worried they are going to roll out of his head.  His face flushes bright red as he sinks back down into his seat, trying not to look at anyone.  The room seems to resonate with silence until I hear a distinct snort of laughter and Thad's voice calling out.  He comes up and slaps this kid on the back.  "Holy crap, did he hit a nerve Cavanaugh?  You have a thing for those two??"

Shut up, shut up, shut up.......

With that the kid gathers up all of his belongings and slinks out of the room, a small backwards glance at everyone.  I feel kind of bad for him as his roommate hops up from his seat, rushing after him.  "Jer!!  Jer, wait!!"

"Bastian, I feel bad now..."

Sebastian pulls me to his side and drops a kiss in my hair.  He shakes his head as he looks around the room.  "Well that was weird.  And I'd love to say that Trent got his sass from me but I can't.  Sorry."

I'm giggling as another voice throws out a comment from across the room.  Accompanied by a very smiley blond face.  "Oh My Gosh!!  I get it....   SASSSSSSSS.....  Sebastian Axle Smythe......"

I move out of Sebastian's grasp, turning to face the rest of the room.  Blaine is still standing right beside Trent so I move over by them.  "So clever Jeffery Xavier, so clever.  But you guys are missing the obvious here.  See I'm a magical fairy princess and Trent here is a unicorn.  So the only one in this room who would be even capable of being his father would be Blaine, since he's a fairytale Hobbit.  Right Aladdin?"

Trent is trying to contain his adorable giggles as Blaine presses a kiss to my cheek.  "Oh of course Belle.  Only super awesome magical beings like us could create someone as cool as Trent here.  But enough about this, I thought we came here to sing?  Reminisce since for many of you this is the last time you'll be here..."

Murmurs of agreement ripple through the room.  Nick comes up to us, whispering to Blaine.  He looks at me, winks and then nods.  "Cool idea, Shann go with this.  Trent, Wes, David, Jeff, Thad, Beatz, I'm going to need you to join Nick, Shann and I on this one."  Blaine points to each of the boys in succession, the last of which is their beatboxer.

I'm really confused as Nicky ushers me to the front of the room, quick glance around the room shows I'm not the only one.  Hunter looks amused but perplexed.  Sebastian looks slightly irritated that Nick's hand is on the small of my back.

Nicky, what is going on??

His smiles is so sweet when he stops me near the rest of the small group, motioning towards Blaine.  "You guys are going to duet.  You'll know the song, trust me.  Just take the first verse."

I'm still confused though, until the boys start with their background harmonies.  Then I recognize the song immediately, I honestly have always wanted to do this with them, it was my favorite of Blaine's Dalton tenure.

Teenage Dream
(Katy Perry/Warblers Mashup)

(Me)
You think I'm pretty without any make-up on
You think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong
I know you get me, so I let my walls come down, down

Before you met me, I was alright
But things were kinda heavy, you brought me to life
Now every February you'll be my valentine, valentine

(All)
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I, we'll be young forever

You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream
The way you turn me on, I can't sleep
Let's runaway and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back

My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe
This is real, so take a chance
And don't ever look back, don't ever look back

(Blaine)
We drove to Cali and got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you, my missing puzzle piece
I'm complete

(All)
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I, we'll be young forever

You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream
The way you turn me on, I can't sleep
Let's runaway and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back

My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe
This is real, so take a change
And don't ever look back, don't ever look back

I'm a get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight

Let you put your hands on me in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight

You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream
The way you turn me on, I can't sleep
Let's runaway and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back

My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe
This is real, so take a chance
And don't ever look back, don't ever look back

I'm a get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight

Let you put your hands on me in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight

I'm dancing around to the song as the guys step easily back into their old choreography. My eyes flit around the room as we perform, settling on Sebastian during my first verse. He looks completely enraptured by me. I make a heart with my hands as I sing about being my Valentine and he absolutely beams.

But as Blaine starts in on his verse I lock eyes with Hunter. Because essentially he and I are running off to Cali. Who knows if we'll build a fort out of sheets while we're there but I do know we are inexplicably drawn to each other. I won't go as far as to say that we complete each other but we do have that connection, you know. That invisible thread holding us to each other, tying us together despite everything and everyone else.

The room erupts into applause as we finish the song. I am engulfed in a hug by all of the boys I sang with, that is until a pair of hands wrap around my wrists, pulling me out of their clutches. Sebastian's lips are on mine before I have a chance to even think. The kiss is heated yet oddly gentle. He is smiling as he pulls back.

Confidently he turns to the crowd, "And THAT is why she got the scholarship to UCLA people. We can all say that we saw the talented Shannon Anderson, soon to be Smythe, perform in a special concert for us way back at Dalton one day." I'm blushing as he holds me tight, arms wrapped around my waist.

I'm content, mostly. But something is missing.

I take one more glance around the room as Sebastian ushers me back to the loveseat. My eyes land on Hunter's, his moss green eyes a mixer of pride, jealousy and love. But when he realizes that he has my attention he smiles, eyes sparkling. I avert my gaze, soft blush on my cheeks. When I look up he has his phone in his hands, fingers flying as he types rapidly.

I feel mine vibrate in the pocket of my leggings. Carefully I pull it out, hoping not to attract attention. Sebastian has fallen into conversation with some of his fellow Warblers, not really paying attention to my actions. Quickly I swipe to unlock the screen, to read the message that is lighting it up.

And I fight to keep the smile off my face as I do.

HC🔥: Angel that was sooooo hott!!  I know you probably can't break away tonight, but tomorrow....  sometime during the epic party those guys are planning, find me.  We'll celebrate our graduations with a bang.  My room.  FINALLY.  😉😍😘😏💋💋💋

I'm blushing hard as I look up from my phone.  Across the room Hunter's gaze is on me, even from here I can see his sexy smirk.

And I nod.
