Notes; Hopefully this chapter is more literate, I'm not on my ipad(yay). I've become dangerously obsessed with Huntbastian and I really feel as this fic will not do them justice. Try to enjoy! Thanks to everyone who has read/reads my stories. Let me know what you think! P.S Huntbastian is the best.
Brrriiinnng
"Finally!" Sebastian said to himself as he raced out of his English class. School was over and he could not be happier.
Sebastian raced down the halls until he almost ran into Jeff and a few other Warblers.
"Sebastian, where are you going?"
"I'm out of here! School is over. I don't live on campus remember?" Sebastian huffed trying to get around the boys.
"Yeah, I know. We have an emergency Warbler meeting, though. Compulsory." Jeff warned.
"We had one this morning, though."
"That was just a meeting, this one is an emergency." Jeff reminded. "Come on."
Sebastian was over school and it was his first day back. What Hunter said-did, it really shook him up and made him mad. He hadn't felt that bad in ages.
Sebastian froze on the spot when he caught sight of Hunter, his harsh blue eyes softer than those few hours earlier. Hunter walked to the front of the room, still holding eye contact with Sebastian before turning his attention to the rest of the Warblers. The room of Warbler's bowed to Hunter before taking their seats. What has he done to them?
"I got a message from the board saying the theme has been changed from 80's classics to free choice. For the first time ever they are letting all choirs choose their own theme and also scoring them on how well they chose it to fit the choir. I was thinking for sectionals our theme could be modern bands. Everyone research some songs, practice a verse, along with choreography and show us in a week from now. Does everybody understand?" The room of boys nodded in unison, which kind of creeped Sebastian out.
"Good." Hunter waited for everybody to stand and bow before announcing dismissal.
Sebastian, once again wait till everybody left.
"What have you done to them?"
"What are you talking about, Sebastian?" His name left Hunter's lips coldly, though his face soft and almost welcoming.
"You're making them bow to you? That's a little bit pathetic, don't you think?"
"It's just how I do it. Reminding them who the captain is. Plus, that's how we did it at my old school, it's a sign of respect."
"But they are bowing to you, you aren't respecting them."
Hunter chuckled deeply.
"What is your problem with me? It's not my fault that you lost your captaincy, which I am sorry about."
Sebastian narrowed his eyes.
"You're sorry? Ha! What happened to the guy that, just this morning was threatening to strangle me, telling me off, for being gay."
Hunter didn't answer.
"You going to ans.."
"You're dismissed." Hunter turned his back to Sebastian.
Sebastian bawled his fists, opening his mouth to fire back.
"Yo...whatever." Sebastian stormed out of the room, not bothering to fight.
The school was almost empty when Sebastian walked through the halls. Everybody was in their rooms studying or hanging out with friends or not with Sebastian. Sure, he admits not to being a close-video games, pizza, hang out sort of guy, but he never thought he'd have no friends. Jeff was the only person he had considered as a friend, but seeing him now, no way. Sebastian was on his own.
No friends. Sebastian whispered the phrase to himself over and over, until he was free of the halls and off campus. He walked slower than usual making it home in 25 minutes instead of 15.
Something was off when Sebastian made it home. The door was unlocked, lights were on, he could smell fresh coffee.
"Dad, why are you home?"
"Oh, hi Sebastian. Can't talk." His father mouthed, pointing to the phone attached to his ear.
Sebastian gave a sad nod and dragged himself up stairs into his room. It was unusual for his dad to be home this early, he didn't question it.
Sebastian spent the remainder of the afternoon catching up on homework and researching songs. Sebastian hated Hunter, surely enough he'd soon hate the rest of his team mates, but he'd never hate singing or dancing. Those were two things that kept Sebastian happy, sure a bit clique', but true. He had always loved it, always loved the Warblers and performing.
Sebastian settled on the song 'Sugar, We're going down', by Fall Out Boy, before having a break to make himself dinner.
Sebastian's dad was exactly how he thought he'd find him, still on his phone, paperwork everywhere and not a single acknowledge of Sebastian's existence. Sebastian found some easy to make, microwave macaroni and cheese. He stuck emptied the contents into a bowl, added water and turned on the microwave.
The room was silent, his dad must have finished one of his phone calls and waiting for the next. The only time his dad was not on the phone was when he fell asleep doing paperwork or when he was waiting for another phone call, never to talk to Sebastian, though.
"Sebastian, can I talk to you?" His dad called.
This is weird. Sebastian stood on the opposite side of the room with an expecting look.
"Yes?" Sebastian asked annoyed.
"Sebastian, your headmaster called earlier."
Sebastian's eyes widened.
"I swear I didn't do anything!" Sebastian quickly defended himself.
"Yes, yes, I know. He said that you have missed a lot of school and you won't graduate unless you catch up. By catching up you're going to have to be at school earlier and stay later."
I hate school, why would I want to be there any longer.
"Yeah, that's fine." Sebastian said instead.
"For that to happen, I think you should move into one of the dorms. I am never here to make sure you are doing your work, at school you will have people to help you and.."
"No way! I am not living at school! I'm there all day and now I have to be there all night! No way!"
"Sebastian, you have friends there, it's better than being here alone."
"I'd rather be alone."
"If you don't, you'll be banned from the Warblers, your allowance will be cut off and you won't be allowed to live here!" Sebastian's dad shouted, emotions obviously taken over by stress.
"You can't do that!"
"Yes, I can! You should not have taken that trip to Paris. You're mother is stupid for inviting you and you are stupid for accepting! You aren't going to graduate if you don't pass your classes and I am not supporting you, if you fail!"
"Dad.. I.."
"Sebastian!"
Ding! The food was ready.
"Fine." Sebastian rushed out of the room, taking his dinner with him and returned up stairs to his room.
He had no friend, was being manipulated and tormented by the new Warbler captain, his family didn't care about him and now this. Sebastian ate in silence, no music, nothing to calm him. After he finished his food he tip toed down stairs, quickly washing his bowl and raced back to his room. Sebastian's mind replayed the day. Woke up, walked to school, Warblers practice, gorgeous new warbler captain, going to maths class, lunch, a few more classes and then home.
The gorgeous new Warbler captain. Why did he have to be so.. "No, Sebastian." He stopped himself before any further thoughts found their way into his head.
Sleep, just go to sleep, forget the day and sleep. Soon enough, he did fall asleep.
That night Sebastian had nightmares of his past, the same scenarios kept repeating.
The first; Sebastian, about five years younger than he is now, slipping a note into a locker. A love note to his crush. The next; "You're dead faggot!" a faceless boy, shorter than Sebastian but heavier build was pummeling him to the ground, punching, kicking and repeating the same lines. "Nobody wants you here, stop being such a faggot, you need to be fixed, nobody cares about you, you're so dead faggot." Sebastian was helpless lying there, taking it, bleeding from various places. He was being bashed by the straight guy he liked. The last scenario; Sebastian was Sebastian's parents fighting over who he lives with. Neither wanting to put up with the constant school change, bullying and fights.
Sebastian woke up in tears. He looked over to the clock, it was only 5:48am. He couldn't go back to sleep and face the nightmares he was sure to have, he couldn't go down stairs, his dad would no doubt be unconscious, his face in his paperwork. Sebastian sat up in his bed running over the steps of the song he had chosen as a suggestion for the Warblers. It was good, maybe good enough for them to perform at sectionals, hopefully good enough.
Beeep
Sebastian woke up to the sound of his alarm, he had fallen asleep. He didn't have nightmares, though.
I better get ready for hell. Sebastian said pulling himself out of bed, readying himself for the day ahead.
When Sebastian got down stairs, his dad was gone, along with all of his work gear. Sebastian had a quick breakfast, grabbed his bag and opened the front door.
Here I go.
Okay, I hope that chapter made a bit more sense, I am still not very fond of this stupid fic, but I don't think I will be until the next chapter. I'M SORRY FOR THE LACK OF HUNTER, HE IS COMING INTO IT PRIMARILY IN THE NEXT CHAPTER. I am sorry it's taking a long time to get into, I really had no plan for this story, I just thought of a title and I'm kind of making it up on the way. Yes, I know Hunter is still an asshole, it's just a part of it. Sorry for making it so sad or whatever.
I promise the next chapter will be better!
Tell me what you though, anyway. Hope you enjoyed!
