"You couldn't handle me even if I came with instructions."
Wait, is that HUNTER CLARINGTON they kinda look a lot like GAVIN LEATHERWOOD, don’t they? I heard the TWENTY year old is known as the ELITIST around McKinley. It seems like they auditioned to be in THE DALTON ACADEMY WARBLERS which is so lame? People at campus have said they’re HARDWORKING, but don’t be fooled since they’re also MERCILESS. Rumor has it, you can find them at LACROSSE and the WRESTLING TEAM (CAPTAIN) when they aren’t belting show tunes. Their entire vibe revolves around GREEN EYES AND WHISKERS, LACED UP BOOTS AND MILITARY FOLDS and LONG RUNS ON THE BEACH AT SUNRISE but no one pays attention to that here in Ohio.
Auditioning with I don't want to be by Gavin DeGraw
From the outside looking in, Hunter had the perfect upbringing. The perfect family, the perfect home, and the ability and support in whatever he dreamed of pursuing. From the inside though, that was the farthest from the truth. His father sets the rules, and Hunter follows them. With the threat of losing a multi-million dollar inheritance and his father's chain of businesses looming over his head constantly, there aren't many other options, leaving Hunter feeling pretty helpless. His father is a strict man, and one that doesn't mess around. So when Hunter is told to "Jump!", there's no other response besides "How high?"
This incredible amount of pressure is what lead Hunter to take certain matters into his own hands in high school. Stealing the trophy of his school's rival wrestling team the day before a big competition seemed like a good idea in the moment but almost landed him in hot water. Hunter had been told by his father to win at all costs, and what better a way to throw off the other team's focus than taking their most treasured possession? When his father found out, he was able to talk the principal out of a suspension with a nice donation to the school. His father had his own form of punishment though, sending Hunter off to military camp to straighten out his rebellious ways.
Hunter isn't sure exactly at what point things shifted at home, all he knows is that he went away to military camp during summer break of his freshman year of high school, and when he came back his parents were practically strangers inside their own home - purely putting on a front for others in public. His father isn't subtle about the many other women catching his attention these days, and Hunter has no idea why his mother is still hanging around and hasn't left yet. Maybe it's the money - or maybe she's hanging onto some delusion that he'll realise an error in his ways and change. Whatever it is, what Hunter does know is that it's left him with a great bitterness when it comes to love and relationships. Mess around, have fun, and leave in the morning before the other person wakes up. That's the motto he lives by, and it hasn't let him down so far. Some would think it's an incredibly lonely way to live, Hunter would call it safe.
Hunter's main focus now is finishing school, and doing his best to excel in his extra-curricular's with a pretty intense training regime. Maybe if he can do those things, his father will be proud and he'll finally get the love and recognition he's always hoped for.

What's something you'd normally be too scared to share with the world?
If I would normally be too afraid or ashamed of something to share, I don't see how now would be a time when I would state such?
I don't particularly care for inheriting my father's business. I'm only doing it because not abiding by his wants and wishes has a far more negative outcome for myself than just doing it.
I wouldn't disregard it in the future at some point. Once I'm out of school and have settled down. I am under no illusion that part of my father's plan for the company is to also include me starting a family, and having a child of my own to then pass the business down to once I also retire. A son, of course.
I'm gonna go ahead and speak for the entire queer male population of Lima that none of us want to touch any part of you even a little bit. Your 5 foot nothing eye roll of a girlfriend can have that all to herself. Honestly, I don't envy you for that either.
You haven't ridden off into the sunset with your tail between your legs yet? It'd been so peaceful around here lately without your incessant yapping that I had thought for certain you'd left. I also didn't realise you consisted in the queer male population, but it's certainly one more reason I am glad to not care about it either way. You insist to not envy me, but you've certainly paid enough attention to my relationship status to know exactly who I was referring to, so perhaps you are more envious than you let on. It's okay to be heartbroken, St. James. I would watch what you say about her, though, things may get really ugly.
So really I should've been doing the work all semester so that studying could be easier now. I can do flashcards, at least. I feel like those could be helpful for some of my classes. What kinds of stuff do you put on yours? Just definitions or...?
Unless you never take notes, I wouldn't say you're super unprepared. If you like, I could help you with some of the Q cards. I would say mostly definitions. But also if there are any important questions that you don't feel confident in knowing immediately, add those in also to really keep things well-rounded. Any sort of buzz words of importance, any particular methods and why they're used. I'm not entirely sure what your curriculum focuses on, so knowing what is of notable importance or not will be mostly on you to recognise.
Yes. It might surprise you to know that the people complaining about my request are largely not my teammates. We've improved our choreography since Invitationals and I believe we're truly the ones to watch this year. But what about the Warblers? Any rehearsals over break for you?
I do hope you aren't lumping me in there with those that are outside of New Directions and complaining. I was agreeing that the rehearsals are certainly something that could be useful. Which I would comment about any and all clubs, including my own. I do believe we will have a small break, although most members do keep up with rehearing in their own ways over the break. I will most certainly not be caught slacking.
Hmm sounds like it's coming up. Not sure how irrelevant that is. Agreed, middle ground would be lovely. Tbh sometimes it feels like my parents don't care about me unless i'm doing well and giving them bragging right so... not sure if that's any better.
Because I wasn't asking so that you would ask me mine in return. If you must know, I was making note for potential gift giving. If there's a chance for something that's not only desired, but also practical to purchase then that's what I like to do. I understand that feeling all too well. I am sorry that you also share those feelings. No-one deserves to feel that way.
HUNTER: That is true. Which I am incredibly impressed with. Your willpower is certainly something to be admired.
HUNTER: I already have the best prize I could've asked for.
HUNTER: Although I am curious what kind of prize you'd have in mind.
HUNTER: Because now there's no way that you can deny that I was right. You couldn't resist me.
HUNTER: Plus have you seen yourself? Getting you to date me will forever be up there with one of my greatest accomplishments. I deserve to be proud.
HUNTER: The feeling will be mutual when I do the same in return.
HUNTER: I would offer to something to help get you through, but we both know it would have the opposite effect. I am irresistible after all. I would hate to put you through further torture.
HUNTER: I have plenty of spares, feel free to keep it.
HUNTER: Lord knows I wouldn't complain seeing you in it at some point.
HUNTER: But you already knew that.
Well, what's your birthday, then? Yeah, the grass is def greener. And I appreciate that. Same goes for me, if you ever wanna like complain about your dad we'll hang. And have a parent bitch a thon.
Well now, that is entirely irrelevant information for the conversation at hand. But it is January 4th. I do believe others end up on the opposite end of the spectrum where their parents simply do not care if they do well in life or not. So a nice middle ground seems the most desirable. But I will keep it in mind.
