Here's the first chapter. The second chapter will follow Sebastian, and then it will go back and forth. ~Blackbird
Chapter 1
Jeff Sterling pulled up in front of the huge brick building, and let out a sigh.
"So this is it?" his best friend Sebastian asked from the passenger seat.
"This is it." Jeff said.
"You nervous?" Sebastian asked.
"No!" Jeff lied through his teeth "You?"
"As hell." Sebastian said.
"Yeah, me too." Jeff said, letting out a sigh. Sebastian laughed.
"We'll be fine. We just gotta think positive."
"I don't get why we couldn't just room together." Jeff grumbled, as he got out of the car. He opened the trunk, and started pulling out his bags. Sebastian joined him.
"Because." He cleared his throat. "You boys need to experience new things. You've been best friends for eternity. You need to broaden your horizons."
Jeff laughed. "That was almost a perfect impression of your father."
"Thank-you." Sebastian said taking a bow. They headed toward the dorm with their bags. Once inside the door.
Jeff looked at Sebastian, "Well, see you later."
"See ya." Sebastian said, and the two parted ways. Jeff walked upstairs, tried to find the dorm room, that matched the keys in his trembling hand.
"36TD." he mumbled under his breath. "Where is 36TD?" Finally, he found the room, all the way at the end of the hall. He took the key and unlocked the door, hoping his room mate wasn't standing behind the door with a frying pan or something. He cautiously opened the door, and walked into the room. He noticed there was a boy sitting at the desk, looking at him. He blushed bright red.
"Um..Hi." he stammered.
"Hi." the boy said, getting up and walking over to him. "You must be my new room mate."
"I'm Jeff...Jeff Sterling." Jeff said.
"Nick Duval." the boy said, smiling. Jeff couldn't help but notice how nice his smile was.
"Nice to meet you." Jeff said.
"You too." Nick said, "I'm assuming you'd like to get unpacked. Do you want some help?"
"That would be nice." Jeff said. He sat his bags on his bed, and pulled out a pack of Red Vines from the pocket of them "Red Vine?" he offered Nick.
Nick squealed "You like Red Vines?"
"Duh!" Jeff said, "They're only like the best!"
"Are you a A Very Potter Musical fan?" Nick asked, his eyes sparkling.
"Yes!" Jeff said, "It was only like...the best thing ever in my entire life!" The two continued talking as they unpacked Jeff's stuff.
By the time they finished it was dinner time. Nick showed Jeff to the cafeteria. Jeff looked around for Sebastian. He was starting to get worried about his friend, when someone picked him up from behind.
"Ahhh!" he yelled, and turned around to see Sebastian, shaking with laughter. "Seb!"
"You should have seen your face!" Sebastian said, face red with laughter.
Jeff rolled his eyes, and turned back to Nick. "Nick, this is my idiot of a best friend, Sebastian Smythe."
"Nice to meet you." Nick said, smiling at Sebastian.
"You too." Sebastian said.
"Come on you guys can sit with me and my friends." Nick said, turning toward where he normally sat. Sebastian caught Jeff's eye, and eyed Nick up and down, before wiggling his eyebrows at his blonde friend. Jeff blushed.
"Shut up, Seb! My room mate is not your next conquest!", Jeff hissed in a whisper.
"Oh, I wasn't thinking of my self." Seb whispered, shooting Jeff a look. Jeff blushed.
"We just got here Seb! Plus, I'm not looking for a relationship right now." Jeff whispered.
"Mhm." Sebastian said dis-believeingly. They arrived at a table full of blazer clad boys, of course, everyone was clad in blazers though, so it didn't matter.
"Guys," Nick got everyone's attention. "This is my new room mate Jeff." he put his hand on Jeff's shoulder. "And his best friend Sebastian." Sebastian waved. Everyone greeted the newcomers, and they sat down.
"This is Trent, Thad, Hunter, and Beatz." Nick introduced, as each boy waved.
"Nice to meet you all." Jeff said shyly. He really didn't like meeting new people.
"Nice to see you all again." Sebastian said, smirking. All the boys blushed. Jeff and Nick looked oddly at Sebastian.
"How do you know all of them already?" Jeff asked.
"Let's just say, I caught them all in a very compromising situation when I arrived at my dorm room." Sebastian said. Hunter glowered at Sebastian from the other end of the table, but Jeff noticed it wasn't quite all anger. There was something else there too.
After supper Nick, Jeff, and Sebastian went to Nick and Jeff's dorm.
"So, you've already made an enemy of your room mate." Jeff noted, as they walked in the room.
"I wouldn't call it that." Sebastian said with a shrug, "It's more like he's slightly upset with me for ruining his fun."
"So, what do you guys want to do?" Nick asked.
"Why don't you tell us more about Dalton." Jeff suggested, and Sebastian rolled his eyes. Jeff shot Sebastian a look.
"Sure, why don't I give you guys a tour!" he said, excitedly. They left the dorm again following Nick. As they walked Nick prattled on about the classes, teachers, and basics at Dalton. Jeff hung on to every word that came out of the boys mouth. He was just so...Jeff didn't even know. There was just something about Nick that made him impossible for Jeff to resist. Nick stopped in front of two wide double doors.
"And now for the best part of the tour." he said, smiling at Jeff and Sebastian. He opened the double doors. Hunter, Thad, Trent, Beatz, and a bunch of other boys were dancing and singing. Jeff's jaw dropped in awe. What was this?
"This is the Warblers." Nick said, as if reading Jeff's mind. "We're the show choir here at Dalton."
"Your a part of it too?" Jeff asked.
"Yep. Ever since freshman year." he said proudly. "Will you be thinking of joining?"
"Definitely." Jeff breathed.
"Maybe." Sebastian said, trying to sound uninterested. Jeff rolled his eyes at his friend. Why couldn't he ever just admit he liked do something? Getting Sebastian to be positive was like pulling a horses teeth.
After the Warblers finished preforming, Jeff, Nick, and Sebastian parted ways for the night. Jeff and Nick went back to there own room.
"So, you ready for bed?" Nick asked, stretching. Jeff swallowed hard, trying not to think about the strip of tan skin he'd seen.
"Ye..yeah." He stammered. Nick smiled at him, and Jeff couldn't help but smile back.
"Night, Jeff." Nick said, before climbing in bed.
"Night, Nick." Jeff said softly. Nick hit the light, and rolled over to sleep. Jeff lay his on back staring at the ceiling. He could hear Nick snoring softly across the room, and he smiled. His room mate was really to cute for his own good. Maybe Dalton would be okay. Jeff smiled at that thought. Yeah, things were gonna be okay. Then he rolled over and went to sleep.
