The next morning Sebastian heads to school and he's met by Hunter approaching him in the corridor, "Hey Seb,"

"Hey Hunt, something up?" he asked with a smile trying not to drool.

"I was just wondering do you know if anyone has any cool relatives to buy us extra beer?" Hunter smiled as they head towards first period.

"Um, my sister would," he beamed thinking of his and Rebekah's conversation this morning. They're on a bet who can go longest without sex so she'd love to boost her chances of winning.

"Awsome, if the Warblers pitch in?"

"Sure but she may insist on coming if she's supplying," he pointed out. His sister would never turn down a party.

"That should be fine." he nodded walking into English class. They seem to have a new teacher who has put 18 year olds in a set seating arrangement. Sebastian was next to Jeff and Hunter was next to Nick. What a coinsidence. He had no doubt Niff had something to do with this. He sat beside the blond who was grinning like a mad man at him.

"Look who you walking in with, me and Nicky got here and we loved our new seat," the blond said rather excitedly.

"Yeah, I think you had something to do with these seats," Seb joked. He wasn't being mean to Jeff he actually liked their banter.

"I swear we didn't. Although I do love your company, I'd rather be with Nicky." Jeff blushed as he began writing notes from the teacher.

"Aww how vile. You be careful there we don't want a Niff baby just yet,"

"Shut up, you'd so be godfather,"

"Really?"

"No."

"Below the belt blondie," Seb faked hurt as they chuckled together. "Seriously though have either of you got the gene?"

"Uh yeah, I do." he shrugged.

"So you two haven't." he trailed making a gesture with his hands do the boy knew.

"We've done everything except actual sex. Have you? Got the gene, I mean,"

"I do but I never bottom so it's cool,"

"Just look at Hunter a second,"

"Why the fuck would I do that after we've been giggling like school girls?" Seb asked hoping Jeff didn't see the blush creeping up his face.

"Just do it, dickhead." he glanced then looked back at his friend with a waiting expression.

"The point of that was?"

"Does he look like a bottom to you? If you two get together he'll be the one topping." Sebastian thought for a moment, Jeff was right; he was taller, more masculine and just generally more dominating than him. He did not need that after everything he'd done to piss of his father. A teenage pregnancy in his house would cause chaos. Literally world war three caused under the Smythe house by Sebastian being a whore. He shook the thoughts of children and snotty noses away and did his work. For the lesson he spent most of the time staring at Hunter or chatting to Jeff. He liked Jeff, he grew on you the more he was around you. The bell rang and Hunter spared him a wave as he left making him grin like an idiot.

"Aww, look at that Jeffie, he's blushing." Nick joked as he approached his boyfriend.

"Fuck off," he muttered placing him English book in his bag. What was happening to him, he was usually so cocky and awful but since he's been nice he's turned into a girl.

"It's sweet, now we have biology so move it Smythe," Jeff smiled grabbing Sebastian's arm and dragging him towards the door. He could've fought if he wanted to but he like biology so it was okay.

They entered and take their seats, Jeff in the middle with Sebastian on his left and Nick on his right. At the back of the room -obviously- so they can talk without being seen. They we were given an assignment which was to spend over a month researching a biological topic of their choice that has to contain at least two sections done by each member. Obviously Sebastian, Nick and Jeff became assignment partners with Nick immediately began suggesting topics which they could chose from. He just seemed to nod along with whatever was being said by the other two. Once again he found his mind wandering to a certain Warbler and the way he looked at him. Sometimes their eye contact would last longer than necessery or they seemed to have moments when they were in French, the only lesson they had together, as they worked together.

"Sebastian," Nick shouted to his pulling his away from his thoughts.

"Yeah?"

"Saturday? After the party, when we are all sober shall we get started?" Jeff smiled.

"Uh yeah sure," he nodded as they parted ways to last period before break. Nick had maths with Hunter while Jeff and Seb had it next door. Nick walked in and glanced around for a space. There was one next to Hunter and one next to Thad, he thought about it before deciding upon sitting beside the new captain.

"Hey, Nick,"

"Hey Hunter, looking forward to tomorrow?"

"Of course, alcohol." he grinned nudging Nick.

"Yeah, Seb and Jeff are so excited." the small brunette added.

"Ah Seb he's so cute and his adorable crush on me is flattering," Nick paused at this, had he heard right? Did Hunter know? "Yeah I know, I don't swing his way but he would look so beautiful laid all out moaning for me. When you're pissed you just fucking go with it."

"You'd use him for one night? He's your friend.."

"Yeah but is there a limit for a good lay?" Hunter winked. Nick couldn't believe his ears, he thought, like the rest of the Warblers, that he was a good guy and friendly but he was just a scumbag and a user. He is vile, he needed to tell Jeff, maybe he could make Sebastian see sense before he got hurt. The rest of the lesson nothing was said between the two Nick still realing from what the other warbler had said. He sounded so proud of himself for saying it too which was unsettling, they all had it soo wrong. Glancing around for a teacher Nick pulled out his phone and sent a quick message to Jeff.

To Jeffie3: I don't think putting Seb and Hunter together is such a great idea..xoxo

From Jeffie3: Y not? They're soo cute together! They would have the best babies ever!:)xxxxx

To Jeffie3: I'll explain at break..you are not going to like what I just got told..xoxo

From Jeffie3: O..kay. See u soon Nicky. I lv u:)3xxxxx Nick didn't reply but he did smile. Now just one thing how were they going to keep Seb away from the captain while everyone was drunk.. He had some thinking to do.

At lunch Nick headed towards the other two who were sat discussing the party and their maths lesson. Some new kid threw a paper aeroplane which landed straight in the bin, so he didn't get a detention but the teacher knew. Mr. Gibson always knew.

"Hey guys, everyone excited for tomorrow?" Nick asked as he sat down with sandwhich and crisps.
"Yeah, although Seb really needs to ask his parents tonight,"

"You still haven't asked?" Nick exclaimed after he'd swallowed his bite of tuna sandwich.

"I did but my mom said I had to ask my dad who's never at home. But today he will be so wish me luck,"

"Yeah I really hope you can," Jeff nodded eating a spoonful of pasta.

"'Bekah, is coming so it shouldn't be an issue- she's the favourite. Plus if I sneak out they'll never know the difference." Sebastian explained with a smile. They spent the rest of dinner and the day going in and out of lessons having the occasional chit chat whenever possible. Sebastian was picked up by Rebekah and drove home where their father's car was still nowhere to be seen.

"Not back yet?" Seb asked.

"No, he'll be here soon." she promised as they walked into the kitchen.

"Hey, how was school?" his mother asked with a smile. They bad thing was Sebastian could tell it was fake, he was always told when he and his father had an arguement that he was an accident. The polite smile he was given actually hurt. Rebekah was planned, they only wanted one to spoil but then he came along.

"It was good, how was your day?"

"Good, I bought some new bed sheets and cloths. Rebekah what wine for dinner?" she asked turning her back on Sebastian.

"Yeah," he sighed leaving the kitchen and heading to his room. The best part was he could come in whenever he wanted and they didn't care. They wouldn't notice if he left home one day and never came back.

"You know for a woman you're not very motherly," Rebekah sighed pulling two bottles of water from the fridge.

"What?" the older woman asked with a cocked head.

"Do you know how many times you've told me you love me since I returned home? Too many to count. Now try and recall the last time you or dad had an actual conversation with Sebastian never mind the last time you told him you loved him."

"I-" their mother cut herself off not even bothering to answer.

"Exactly, he's your son. Why have him if you didn't love him?"

"Of course we love him 'Bekah." she snapped.

"Then why don't you show it?" the blond asked with a knowing tone.

"He should know, like you do."

"You tell me like a broken record but him you don't. I know because you've told me but he doesn't." Rebekah informed her before heading to her brother's room. As she pushed the door open he was laid on the bed staring at the ceiling. She knows he practically lives up here because of the rejection.

"Are you okay?"

"Why are you up here and not helping Julia with dinner?" he asked sitting upright.

"Why do you call her that?"

"She's not a mother really is she?"

"True. Drink?" she wondered aloud handing him a bottle. He nodded and they just sat and chatted for around an hour before they heard the door open and close. Their dad was home. When they were called down the icy tension hit them immediately.

"Rebekah," he smiled before turning to his son, "Sebastian,"

"John," he replied. They took their seats and began eating in an uncomfortable silence.

"So dad did Sebastian tell you he won his singing competition?"

"No," he father answered shortly. "Have you found a new college yet, 'Bekah?"

"No. Mom why didn't you show dad the video?"

"He probley wasn't interested," Sebastain shrugged as he downed a full glass of wine in one mouthful.

"That is not the reason and you know it," his father said not taking his eyes of his food.

"Of course not," he replied sarcasicly.

"I didn't think to," his mother cut in.

"But wh-"

"Fucking hell, 'Bekah! Still haven't got it yet? Neither of them care," Sebastian yelled placing his fork down and slouching back in his chair.

"Yes we do, you are just so ungrateful an-"

"And such a disappointment, I got it dad," he said the last part in a sarcasitc tone and the rest as if it was an old routine.

"God damnit Sebastian! I said nothing of the sort!" his father yelled startling the table.

"But you think it all the time! I'm the gay disappointment who you regret having, not wanting to join the law profession as I like to sing!"

"I have never said anything against what you want to do!" his father protested.

"Yeah, so why have you never been to one of my competitions? The last one, where we came second you nor mom came."

"I was busy,"

"I know you had that day off, I checked." he responded. A silence fell over the table and Sebastian nodded before leaving the rest of his dinner and headed back to his room.

"Anything new with you two?" his father asked shaking away his anger.

"Me and Seb was going to ask to go to a party tomorrow but I'm not even going to attempt it," the blond shook her head.

"You can both go but tell him if he gets into any trouble it's his own problem,"

"That's just him isn't it? A big problem." she yelled also leaving the table. Just a normal dinner at the Smythe house...
