We had enough for Sectionals. Rachel along with Finn came through and got Sam, an old face. Plus, with some band members we had enough to perform.
I was waiting in the practice room with all the other New Directions when Blaine pulled me over to one side.
"Sebastian's here, for you." I furrow my brows. Why is he here for me? I nod and thank him for telling me. I pulled Kurt away from the piano and asked, "What happened?"
"When?" He questioned.
"At the bar. I can't remember at all." Kurt gulped and said "You and Sebastian, you kissed. And you enjoyed it." I felt sick, but I didn't.
"Thanks for that Kurt. Could you not of stopped me?"
"I tried but you said it was okay. Hell, you were enjoying it, both of you were. Are you sure you don't like him?" I shook my head.
"I don't exactly know anyway let's just focus on this win." Kurt nodded and we both went over to the piano still practicing in our suits.
"Looking good ladies." Mr Schue said as the Trouble tones came waltzing in.
"Just came to say may the best glee club win." I wanted to cough and say, "That's us." But I didn't, I play fair.
"Yes, and just in case that glee club is us, I have convinced Miss Corcoran to consider a contingency plan." Santana explained.
"Yes, in the event of a New Directions loss, Trouble tones have voted to allow any of you to join us at Regionals." Miss Corcoran explained.
"Your welcome." One of the girls said so I made a face at her.
"Excuse me?" Mr Schue said.
"That's incredibly rude Santana." Finn said from beside me.
"We're being nice. It would be rude if I followed you around and every time you took a step played a note from a tuba." Santana said.
I whispered to Finn "She has a point though."
"Thank you for the offer Miss Corcoran but right now we're gonna concentrate on winning this thing." Mr Schue.
"And we will be winning, Shelby. We've got it in the bag. Puck here is gonna come through for us. He's such a shining stat in every conceivable way, don't you think?" Quinn said leaving me shocked. Mic drop, right there.
"Good luck everybody, see you on the eye." Miss Corcoran said before walking out with the Trouble tones.
When they all had left Quinn turned around and I high-fived her for her impressive job of being completely and utterly a savage.
Nearly show time now.

••
We came into the dressing room all excited. I hugged Blaine because I was happy and when Kurt wasn't looking I jumped on his back.
"We did so well!" I screamed, and Kurt just laughed.
"We may actually win." Kurt said, and I squealed. This was like my only girly moment. Then Mike's Dad came in so we kind of all cleared out and got ready to go back on stage. We should win, we deserve it.
••
I was standing beside Blaine looking in the audience. There was no mum or dad or sibling for me. To be honest they couldn't care what I do until I leave High School, so I can be in Glee Club with no shame.
My eyes scan for Sebastian since I know he's here. I ignore who won third place because I was just watching Sebastian smile at me.
When they picked up the trophies for first and second place I grabbed Blaine's hand. We had to win, I mean who doesn't love a good bit of MJ?
"The second place...we have...The Trouble tones." I didn't need to hear anymore I jumped up and down and screamed.
We had won! I hugged Blaine again. I then hugged my fellow girls, one on each side.
"We won!" I screamed. We walked forward and collected the trophy. Everyone was clapping so I looked out to see Sebastian smiling and clapping. It felt good having someone here for me, even if I didn't like them.
But I do like him I just don't think I like him. But he is kind, sometimes, and he has a pretty smile. He came here to support me, and I can't believe that.
I focused my attention back onto the New Directions. I smile and cheer with a fist pump in the air.
Quinn looks over to the Trouble tones and you can see they are devastated.
We walked off the stage and screamed. We won.

I was the last person in the choir room. I had got changed into my jeans and Lakers jersey. I was placing everything in my bag just, so it was out the way. I should have left earlier because I now needed to walk in the dark. I luckily had my iPod and my headphones.
I stood up and walked out the room, turning out the lights. I smiled to myself and placed my iPod in my pockets of my jacket. I walked along the corridor of the school when I looked to see Sebastian still standing there in his Dalton blazer.
Because of how happy I was I ran up to Sebastian and hugged him. But I jumped so he had to hold me up from the floor. He placed me down and he clapped.
"Knew you could do it." Sebastian smiled, and I giggled.
"What's funny?" I shrugged.
"Nothing it's just you came to support Blaine but apparently it was me." Sebastian chuckled and said, "I came here to hear you sing and to support you."
I smiled and then asked "Why?" He shrugged and said, "You needed all the help you could get." I shoved him because of the comment but he laughed.
"I'm kidding. I came to support you because I care." I smiled at him and then he asked, "So where's your family?" He said looking around the families still here with kids.
"At home." I said starting to walk out.
"They didn't even come?" He asked, and I shook my head.
"They don't care what I do until I leave High School. Now if you don't mind I must get going home." Sebastian nodded and said, "Did you bring your car?"
"No because I thought Blaine or Kurt would still be here, but they have disappeared, so I must have to run home." Sebastian smiled and said, "I've got my car, I'll give you a ride." I shook my head and said, "No I don't want to give you any trouble."
Sebastian chuckled and held out his hand.
"From coming here, I have already got trouble." I smiled and took my hand in his which felt good. He lead me to his car and I had to lead him to my house. I constantly would tell him to turn last minute.
We got to my house safely eventually and I saw my parent's car was not there. They aren't even in. Sebastian got out as did I.
He came around beside me and I said "This is me, thanks for the ride and thank you so much for coming to support me at Sectionals tonight. You truly are a good person."
"Don't start telling people that because my bad boy act has to keep up." I smirked and said, "Oh really?"
"Yeah." I smiled and placed the bag from my shoulder on the floor. I then grabbed Sebastian's collar and said, "I prefer nice you." And then I did something bizarre.
I kissed him. And it felt good. Sebastian kissed me back. And that felt good. His arms were on my waist pulling me closer as my arms were on his collar still.
I pulled away and he smiled before going back in to kiss me again, but I pulled away. I smiled and said, "Good night Sebastian." I picked up my bag before planting a kiss on his cheek. I then walked away and opened my door with my keys.
I placed down my bag before I squealed. What the hell was I doing and why did I just kiss Dalton?
I shrugged it off because it felt good and guess what, we won Sectionals. So, I don't care. But I will need to get advice about this. From someone.
That isn't called Blaine. Or Kurt.
