Chapter 1: Turkey
"Hey, you," I heard Sebastian say to me when the bell rang. I booked it out of that classroom quick enough to silently wonder why I had never joined the track team. "Ciel!"
"What do you want, Michaelis?" I snapped, turned around so fast that my bluenette tips skimmed Sebastian's cheeks. I inwardly high-fived myself at the accidental assault. He looked genuinely flustered for a moment, then regained his mental footing.
"I wanted to apologize," he said, reaching for my shoulders. I didn't move, but the stern look in my eye must have let him know that was a very, very bad idea. He let his arms fall into line behind his back, smooth as hell. "I wasn't trying to make a move on Alois. Listen, I don't know what kind of guy you think I am, but-"
"You want to know what kind of guy I think you are, Michaelis? I think you're an arrogant, self-centered, sociopath who only cares about one thing," my voice was low, so no attention was dragged to us, yet somehow I'd felt as if all eyes were on me.
"Ciel, I-"
"But that's not all you are, you're a conniving, unscrupulous, negligent," I paused, struggling for the right words to say, "turkey!"
"Turkey?" He asked, suppressing a chuckle. I felt my face turn bright red.
"Yes," I took a deep breath, regaining my own mental footing. "You're a turkey, who uses people and doesn't even bother to call them back afterwards! It's sick, Michaelis, just sick." I turn to stomp away but Sebastian, despite my previous warning signals, grabbed my forearm and stops me.
"I said wait," he speaks so softly that I almost believe he wants me to stay. "Let me prove to you that I'm different than that. Dinner, a movie, anything. Just let me take you out on a date." His usually dark eyes seemed tinted with red. They were fierce yet still the softest I've ever seen them. His lips were pursed, like he was stressed and desperate. My heart went out to him. But only for a few moments. I ripped my arm free.
"No," I turned around and added sassily, "Thank you."
