I was curious after that incident. I had this strange knotting in my stomach sometimes when I saw Sebastian that I never had for Kurt and even after the hit I still felt it. Later I saw Miss Holly. Curiosity got the better of me. I asked her what she had said to Sebastian. She explained she had told Sebastian that being creative wasn't important. There were more important things to worry about. Like being a good person, being good at something else, knowing who you are. I was confused, as the guardians always said being creative was important. As I left the room I was even more puzzled. You must remember at this time I was only 11, so I wasn't really aware of the nature of the gallery or the importance of creativity. All I knew is that people had to be creative, but Miss Holly said that it wasn't important. I was very confused but I also knew I wanted to be friends with Sebastian.

A few days later I found Sebastian sitting at the dining room table, he looked deep in thought and I went up to him, speaking as I did, the knotting feeling still in my stomach.

"Hey Sebastian" I said with a small smile

"Blaine, Hey.." Sebastian looked surprised. Few people spoke to him due to his unpredictable behaviour "I thought you'd sit with Kurt."

"I felt like a change. So potatoes again? Really? You'd think they would come up with something more exciting" I didn't know what to talk about. All I knew is that I wanted to talk to him

"Yeah. Lovely. Look Blaine, I'm sorry, I hit you" Sebastian said looking down at his lap before moving his eyes to meet mine "you just, didn't deserve that, I mean I never want to hit anyone, especially not um you" Sebastian said blushing lightly

"It's fine. I startled you. Do you want to talk in the garden after dinner?" I answered

"You want to go into the garden alone with me?" Sebastian asked

"Of course. We can walk and talk." I answered with a sure smile

We continued to eat to eat dinner, then went outside. I remember it being just before sunset and the warm sun was still shining In the sky.

"Miss Holly talked to me. She told me being creative wasn't important" Sebastian started "That I should stop getting angry as that's what people want."
"How come? We are always told being creative is important?"

"She didn't say. She said I was to worry about more important things like making friends. I am good at lacrosse."
"You are. I've seen you play. Do you not want to make friends?"
"It's not that Blaine. It's people don't want to be friends with me. They say I am mean but I have to be mean to get what I want"
"But you don't get to play lacrosse being mean" I tried to reason

"They make me mean Blaine. If I got to play lacrosse I wouldn't be so mean"

"So it's like a game. One of you has to give in. Why don't you do it first, be nice to Dan M who seems to be team captain, see if you get to play" I suggested

"Maybe."
"Well I like being your friend Sebastian" I said with a blush

"Really? We can be friends?" Sebastian turned to me

"Yeah I will be your first official friend." I offered my hand and Sebastian shook it.

"But you can be anyone's friend. You can sing, write, draw, play musical instruments, create things. Why be mine" Sebastian tried to argue

"Miss Holly said friends are important. I can still be creative" I answered and Sebastian smiled

I remember that day so clearly. Sebastian and I were friends, though I was still confused as to why Miss Holly said being creative wasn't important when everyone else said it was.
