It was by far way too early in the morning to be excited, but here she sat at the kitchen table a cup of coffee in front of her as she waited on Sebastian to finish up so they could get back to work. She spent the last few days at the school in her classroom getting things set up for the first day of school. As while as meeting with the new class of students that came in for their ninth grade orientation and to get a lay of the land they would calling home for the next four years of their lives, along with their parents who had more questions than their kids did. But she had been happy to answer any and all questions while showing students and parents where things were located at.

"Hurry up, would ya?" She yelled, hearing him exit the bathroom, getting up to fix him a cup of coffee, just the way he liked it.

"Aren't we a ray of sunshine," he joked, shutting the door to his room to finish getting ready for work.

She rolled her eyes, leaving his coffee on the counter for him, not sure what he wanted to be having for breakfast that morning, as she already had some toast and eggs, making extra eggs in case he wanted some. She smiled hearing her phone vibrate against the table, as she saw no point in turning the volume on when she would have to silence her phone once she got to the school. Her smile grew reading the message on the lock screen. 'Good morning, beautiful. Have an amazing 1st day at school babe. ;)'

'Good morning to you baby. Try to get work done without me around to hang out with.' She sent back to her boyfriend. The opening to his club had been pushed back till the end of September to the beginning of October, for various reasons.

"Bacon bits in the scrambled eggs again, I see," Seb laughed, quickly taking out everything he needed to make himself a breakfast burrito.

"Bacon bits were the only form of bacon we have," she informed him. "We really need to be stopping off after school to be getting groceries," she commented.

"I agree there," he nodded. "You giving homework out today?" He asked, sitting across from her at the table.

"Do I ever?" She asked with an eye roll. She has never once given homework on the first day of school and she wasn't about ready to start today. "That is a stupid question to even think about asking. It's the same thing if I were to ask you if you were handing out homework," she stated in a duh tone.

"True," he laughed. With everything he needed to go over for his class he didn't have the time to assign any type of homework and the real first day of class started the second day. "Shall we go?" He asked, getting up to place his plate in the sink.

"Yep," she nodded, maneuvering around him to place her mug by the sink and to grab the lunch she prepared for the both of them out of the fridge. Which happened to be last nights left over Chinese food they had ordered.

The best perk even though they taught two very different classes, their classrooms were across the hall from each other. With the doors open they could look right into the others room and when they stayed after to work on grading papers and what not it was something they did. And when one of them had to be in control of detention the other stayed behind because they didn't see any sense in driving two cars when they ended up at the same school.

Arriving at the school they headed to the teacher's lounge placing their lunch into the fridge. She smiled at some of the other teachers in the room, she stopped short of the door seeing Avery.

"So that's Blaine's girlfriend?" She asked Seb quietly, nodding in Avery's direction.

"Yep," Seb nodded. "I still don't know the real reason on why he doesn't want us to meet her," he sighed.

"You know Blaine as well as I do. He's never been fond of sharing his girlfriend's with us," Onyx shrugged. There were ex-girlfriend's of Blaine's that she didn't know because they were never given the chance to meet them, because Blaine had to make sure that he knew they would last for a while before bringing them around. And it wasn't something she found that she could ever fault him for doing. But this time around, Avery was different, as they happened to work together and she couldn't ignore the fact she was dating a good friend of hers.

"Don't do anything stupid," Seb warned her, walking away to talk with another teacher in the English department.

"Onyx, hey," a bubbly brunette smiled, pulling her into a friendly hug.

"Harlow, hi," she smiled, easily returning the hug, surprised to see the teacher in front of her. "I thought you were quitting?" She asked. That had been the deal last year on the last day of school. Onyx had been expecting a new science teacher today so it was surprising to see Harlow there.

"That had been the plan, but I found it hard to walk away and it wasn't as if I had a reason to leave. The move didn't happen as we broke up," she shrugged. She had dated her ex for a little over a year, planned on moving to be closer to his family, but like things do, their relationship had an expiration date. It hurt, but she knew it was for the best. "Can't say I am too broken up about it," she smiled. "How was your vacation?"

"Is it really a vacation when you work most of it?" She asked with a laugh. "It started on a bad note but ended on a really good one," she smiled, quickly thinking about how things ended with Hunter and how that lead to Clint being in her life.

"You and Hunter still going strong?" She asked, watching the smile on her friend's face fall away as her face scrunched up.

"Uh..no things didn't work out there, but I am okay with that," she nodded, not wanting to go into any details about her relationship with Hunter and what happened there, as she is better off with the way things are now and she was more than okay to have a friendship with Hunter. No hurt feelings there. She didn't want to dwell and waste any more time worrying about the hurt and sad feelings she posses over Hunter, that just wasn't the case anymore and she was ready to be friends with him, wanted to be friends with him.

"I'm sorry," Harlow shared. Onyx shrugged, there wasn't anything to be sorry about.

"Enjoy your classes," she offered looking around to see that Avery had slipped out the door during her conversation with Harlow.

"You as well," Harlow smiled, moving onto the next teacher she knew. Onyx took that opportunity to exit the lounge and head to her class as the school started to slowly fill up with students.

"Have a wonderful day, Mr. Smythe," Onyx teased, seeing him getting ready for the day to start.

"I am sure I will," he laughed. "Try to take it easy on them and have an eventful day, Ms. Sterling," he teased.

"I hope you get all the trouble makers," she retorted, moving fully into her room to get things set up for her first class.

With her name and World History wrote on the marker board, she sat in her desk chair, waiting for her computer to load as the first bell of the day rang. She watched as the 10th grade students started to slowly trickle into the room filling each seat up. She waited a good five minutes after the bell rang wanting to make sure there was no lingering students lost in the halls.

"Good morning," she stated, gaining the attention of the students in her class, as she walked over to shut the door. "My name is Ms. Sterling, and you should all be in World History, if that isn't the class on your schedule, please exit the room and find your rightful class," she instructed. It's happened many times over the years and something that never once shocked her. "Okay," she nodded, seeing that no one was moving to get up.

The first thing she did was take attendance seeing what students were there on the first day as the majority of them were there. A few of them she didn't know if they would ever make it to her class.

"I know someone of you from last year," she said, moving back to the middle of the classroom to stand before them all. "And there are plenty of new faces. Now can anyone recall the class rules?" She asked, seeing a few hands go up.

"Jessica?" She asked, calling on the girl in the front row.

"Tests are taken on Wednesday's because you feel we're more alert," she shared. Onyx nodded, the last thing anyone was focused on by the time Friday rolled around was a test when they just wanted the weekend and Monday was a dreary day for everyone to focus. "But pop quizzes can be given any day of the week."

"You don't give us homework on Fridays, but it's fair game the rest of the week," Colin stated, having raised his hand and Onyx giving him the go ahead.

"It's not really a rule, but you're also here if we need help with anything school related to that of a more personal issue if we need to be having that help," Emily said, having been called on.

"Whatever the issue, my door is always open if you don't feel comfortable enough talking to a friend or family, or even the guidance counselor. And asking for help isn't a sign of weakness but that of strength. We all need a little help, it isn't something to be ashamed of, I promise you that," she shared. "Jordan?" She asked, looking to the boy in the back row, one that had started to come out of his shell over the course of the previous year.

"That we can use notes on tests," he shared.

"You can but do not think that you shouldn't be studying the material as you get one note card to fill out and I will provide you with it the day before the test," she informed the class. "Yes, Jasmin?" She asked, seeing the teen with her hand raised.

"We can have snacks and something to drink that's got a lid and if we spill and make a mess we need to clean it up and we won't be allowed to have any in class," she shared.

"I like to discourage coffee and soda, but I know that I can't stop you from bringing either of them in to drink as I have coffee all day long or the occasional soda sitting on my desk. You can chew gum but please use the trash bin and not the desk and chairs. If any chewed gum is found stuck to anything in my class it will be banned by everyone," she informed her students.

For the rest of class they went over rules and what could be expected of them through the term in her class. She wasn't about to give them homework or pass out text books until the following day, they would have enough to do with their other classes, she'd wait till tomorrow, not that she was too fond of giving them homework. She preferred to have everything done in class, but that wasn't always the case with some students.

Having let her class before lunch go a few minutes early, let her be the first one in the teacher's lounge, heating up her lunch and sitting at the table by the window to look outside. Waiting on her food to cool down, she pulled her phone out to check her messages.

"Hey Onyx." The greeting took her attention away from her phone to see Avery sitting at the table with her.

"Avery, right?" She asked, wanting to make sure that she had the name right. The other woman nodded. "So you're the one dating Blaine, at least that is what I hear," she said with a nod of her own, not wanting to assume anything just in case they had broken up or something along the lines of that.

"If you're talking about Blaine Anderson, who is in the process of turning your brother's bar into well I'm not really sure as of yet as he doesn't know," she laughed.

"That would be the one. He's never been one to really pick anything," Onyx laughed. "It is nice to meet you as Blaine's girlfriend as he isn't one to introduce us to them until a certain period for his reasons," she shrugged.

"I've tried to talk him into letting me meet all of you. We've been together now for 5 months, I think I can survive meeting his friends," she laughed.

"Then you should come Friday night. As we're having a little dinner to celebrate getting through the first week of school," Onyx invited her.

"I don't know," Avery sighed, with a frown. "I don't want it to seem like I'm going behind his back," she shared her concerns. She didn't want to be betraying Blaine and it really felt like she would be doing just that. But it wouldn't be like she would be doing anything other than having dinner with her colleagues and there wasn't anything wrong with that.

"I get it," Onyx nodded. It didn't matter that Blaine hadn't made the introductions when it came to his girlfriend. She'd have to stop in and see Blaine and have a talk with him. "You can tell him that I invited you over and insure him that we won't scare you off. After all we work together," Onyx stated.

"I do think I need to be talking to him," Avery nodded.

"And just what are you two up to over here?" Seb asked, taking a seat at the table, liking his Chinese food to be cold.

"We are not planning anything," Onyx laughed, Seb gave her a pointed look. "Fine, we're trying to find a way to make Blaine officially introduce us to his girlfriend," she shared. It was hard to pretend around Blaine, they knew Avery, they liked her and they wanted to be able to spend time with her and not feel guilty about enjoying their time together because they had to keep it from Blaine. That wasn't going to work and Blaine would have to realize it was time they met the woman he was falling for.

"And telling him point-blank that you know who we are and that which I am sure you've already invited her over Friday night," he said looking at Onyx, who nodded to confirm his inkling there. "And you know just be honest with him. He knows we all work at the same school, he is not stupid by any means," Seb stated.

"No, just undeceive, is all," Onyx retorted. Avery nodding her head in acceptance.

"Despite that, Blaine will come to his sense, when he knows that he can't keep his personal life private from us any longer," Seb finished off shaking his head. He trusted Blaine and all but even he couldn't hold off on wanting to know the woman his friend was infatuated with.

That was something Avery and Onyx could agree on. The remaining time for lunch was used to get to know Avery as she got to know them a bit more than what they already knew about each other in the time they have known Avery.

After lunch she didn't have a class so she used her free time, to go over a few things and use her time wisely that way she wouldn't have to spend her time at home doing school related stuff as the last class of the day would go the way the others had. And she already had the week planned out.

"You've got yourself a very good-looking secret admirer," Dani said, bringing her the small bouquet of Dahlias ranging from dark red to light pink.

"The only one that should be dropping off flowers is my boyfriend," Onyx smiled, meeting her halfway to take the vase of flowers and take a minute to sniff the sweet scent they provided her.

"That did not look like Dr. Clarington," Dani remarked, sitting on the edge of a desk in the front row.

"That is because we broke up at the start of summer and I just started to date someone else," she shared, finding the small card that accompanied the flowers.

"He is gorgeous," Dani laughed.

"I'll make sure to tell him that news," Onyx laughed, already picturing his gorgeous smile.

"If you think you can live with the ego it gives him," she stated, pushing herself off the desk. "I'll let you get to that card that way you can thank him. Just remember that the bell rings in five minutes," she cheekily tacked on.

"Just go," Onyx laughed, tossing a pencil at the secretary on her way out with laughter.

Shaking her head, and after picking up the pencil as she liked to have a clean classroom, she sat down at her desk and opened the card.

'Thinking of my stunning girlfriend on her first day back. With troublesome students, figured you could use a pick me up. Xoxo your caring boyfriend.'

'Thank you for the flowers. They were absolutely beautiful! They did bring a smile to my face and brightened my day so much more. Xoxo to be paid in full later. Muah!'

"Clint?" Seb questioned, standing in the doorway of her classroom as students started to trickle out of classes and the lunchroom headed to their lockers ready for the last class of the day.

"Yeah," she smiled, placing her phone and the small card into her purse.

"That was awfully sweet of him," Seb grinned, making sure he stood out-of-the-way of any incoming students.

"It was very sweet of him," she retorted. Hunter had given her flowers before, but not for no reason like her first day back at work. Hunter had his sweet moments, she wouldn't have stayed with him for a year if he had been that guy she was met with on their anniversary ending things. "You best get to your class before they ditch on you," she teased.

"I wouldn't tease," Seb laughed. "Your class here can still start a riot on ya," he joked, walking across the hall as the bell rang signaling the start of class.

"Fair warning, you start a riot you go home with double the homework every day for the rest of the term," she warned her class. "Alright, my name is Ms. Sterling, and this is Geography. Please check your schedules to make sure you're in the right place," she instructed, walking to her desk to proceed with attendance. "I know we covered things last week for orientation when you came in and I also know that you all are gearing up for the first day to be over with," shared as she walked to stand in the middle of the classroom. "But, I am going to explain more in-depth what we will be covering this year and yes that means you won't have homework for this class," she told them.

"How often will we have homework?" Lyla asked after being called on. With everyone in this class being new to the school what with it being the freshman class they didn't know much about her teaching style.

"As much as you guys hate doing homework, I don't enjoy correcting it every night. But even so you will have assignments that need to be done outside of class and whatever you don't finish in class you will need to do at home," she answered. "Any other questions?" She asked, looking around at the students.

A good chunk of class had been answering questions and going over what they would be doing for the term. With there being twenty minutes left for class it was by far too early to release them for the day.

"As much as I hate giving homework out on the first day of school, we've got too much time to be doing nothing," she said earning a room full of groans. "It's not that bad," she promised with a small laugh. "Next week we will be starting our first project and yes you will have time in class to work on them but they will need to be done outside of class as well as you will have two weeks to finish it. So over the next week think about any country you want and pick one city within that country to do a class presentation on. I will explain more on it next Monday. And to ensure that everyone picks a different city you will need to sign up. It will be first come first serve," she stated. "Yes, Eric?" She asked, seeing the shy boy in the front row raise his hand.

"Is there any country off-limits?" He asked.

"The United States of America," she told them hearing a few groans. "This is not American history, it is Geography and we have a whole world to explore," she explained. "Yes, Grace?" She asked, having a bit of trouble remembering her name.

"What if we can't decide on a country of origin?" She asked.

"You will get one at random," she shared. "Now if you have a place in mind come to my desk so I can get it wrote down," she said, noticing they had five minutes of class left. "If you need more time to figure out your city, I will see you tomorrow for class," she dismissed, watching a good chunk of her class pack up their bags and head out, while a small handful of students stayed behind knowing what city they were going to do for their project.

Staying behind a half hour after school was let out for the day, wanting to make sure none of her students had questions to ask without the pressure of their peers overhearing and judging them on, she left with Seb, stopping off to get groceries for the week, which they mixed their things together and after leaving the grocery store figured out what the other person owed, splitting the total in half. Even with the groceries, they ordered pizza once at home and watched a few movies, as they didn't have any paperwork to correct.

"Hey baby," Clint smiled, gently kissing his girlfriend's cheek as she opened the door for him. "You're a vision," he smirked, raking his eyes over her figure. Looking stunning in the burgundy off the shoulder dress that stopped mid-thigh. Black heels to finish her outfit off with her hair pulled into a slick high pony.

"And you again look ruggedly handsome," she sighed, with a warm loving smile on her face as she grabbed her purse, turning the last of the lights off. He wore a white dress shirt the top few buttons left undone and a black pair of slacks.

"I would suggested going home to change, but we don't have the time for that," he smirked, taking her free hand in his after she locked her apartment door.

"I am very afraid we wouldn't make it out of your apartment," she remarked. She didn't want to rush into any aspect in her relationship with Clint, but it was starting to get harder to stop herself from wanting more.

"We can't have you skipping out on tonight," Clint responded, pushing the call button for the elevator.

"Yeah, about that," she sighed stepping on the elevator once the doors slid open.

With it being Friday and the first week of school in the books, they had made plans to go to dinner instead of hanging out at someone's house.

"What are you not telling me?" Clint asked, standing next to his girlfriend, pushing the button for the lobby.

"With everyone that is going to be there, I invited Hunter," she slowly told him, not sure what his reaction was going to be.

"Your ex Hunter?" He asked, void of emotion. She nodded her head, confirming they were talking about the same Hunter. "Why?"

"Because everyone has a significant other and I figured that Hunter and Harlow would hit it off," she shrugged.

"Wait!" He laughed. "You're willingly setting a friend of yours up with your ex, who happened to cheat on you. Do you hate her or something?" He questioned highly amused by what she was doing.

"I am not setting them up and no I don't hate her. I have made amends with Hunter and sure it hurts to think about but at this point I have come to realize it's the best because I get to be with you," she told him, lacing her fingers with his as the doors opened so they could exit the elevator. "But everyone even Hunter, learns from his mistakes. I figured she would like to have someone to talk to so she didn't feel left out. They can remain friends for all I care," she told him, walking to his car

"With all the shit that Hunter has put you through, I just don't see why you want to help find his next girlfriend for," he sighed. "One would think, you would want to spare her the hurt he caused you," he stated, opening the car door for her.

"People can change. You changed, you're not the jerk you once used to be," she pointed out, slipping into the passenger seat.

"That may be, but I am reluctant to believe that man can stop being an ass let alone not cheat. He cheated on you and he was ready to marry you, I highly doubt he has changed that much in a little over three months," Clint retorted, starting his car before buckling up.

"Believe whatever the hell you want to believe," Onyx stated, turning to look at the night life that they passed on the way to the restaurant.

"Do I even want to know?" Seb asked, walking to the doors of the restaurant with Mikki at the same time Onyx and Clint reached the door.

"Nope," Onyx stated, heading inside, ignoring her boyfriend, something she had been doing since they left.

"I forget how stubborn she can be when she is upset with someone who isn't me," Seb laughed softly. "What is it you did?" He asked, entering the restaurant with Clint, having let Mikki enter before they did.

"I disagree with her on the fact she invited Hunter to this dinner tonight," Clint sighed, waiting in the lobby to be shown to the table they would be occupying for the night as Onyx, talked with the hostess.

"You need to understand that she may have her difference's with Hunter, and he hurt her in a bad way, but they had been friends, and like all friends, you want to see your friends happy and she wants to see Hunter happy as he wants to see her happy. I can promise you that you have nothing to worry about," Seb assured him.

"Didn't you make some sort of amends with Hunter?" Mikki asked, coming to stand next to her boyfriend, lacing her fingers with his.

"He did months ago," Onyx retorted, keeping a bit of space between her and Clint. "So get why I can't understand where this big deal is coming from."

"Because I don't want to see him hurt someone who you care about," Clint stressed. "Is that so wrong of me?" He asked, shaking his head, so over this whole situation.

"There is nothing wrong with that, I'm flattered that you care that much about me that you don't want that to happen, but I need you to trust me on this," Onyx stated.

"I do trust you, it's him that I don't trust," Clint said, moving Onyx off to the side to have a bit more privacy as he didn't want to have this out in front of anyone let alone someone who Onyx thinks of as family.

Onyx sighed, taking her boyfriend's hands holding them between themselves. Carefully thinking her words over, she didn't want to be fighting or having any sort of arguments with her boyfriend. After the first week back to work that had passed fast she wanted to relax and have fun with a few of her co-workers that she is friends with to start off her first weekend of many to come; one that wouldn't be busy with correcting papers.

"I wouldn't suggest Harlow to meet Hunter if I thought he was going to step out on her the way he did with me. I had my own issues as well and instead of sitting down and talking about things that we should have been talking about, I pushed him away," she explained, licking her lips. As much as everyone wanted to be blaming Hunter for what he did, she had a part of it as well and she had accept that a while ago. "That is why I want our relationship to be different, I want and need for us to have a very open and honest communication system," she told him.

"We will," he promised her, gently tugging her into his embrace. "We do," he stated, planting a kiss to her head. "Honest communication all the way, that is why I haven't been able to agree with you on this whole thing, because I don't feel like it's a good idea," he said. "But," he quickly tacked on before she could protest him once more. "I will go along with it. Obviously, he isn't all that bad if you can make amends and remain friends with the guy. But do know that I am not going to play nice," he warned her.

"I am only asking you to be nice, and you know, treat him with some sort of respect," she said.

"I can do that much," he promised, closing the small gap between them, pressing his lips against hers for a soft sweet kiss.

"You two crazy kids coming?" Seb asked with a laugh. Onyx rolled her eyes, taking her boyfriend's hand again, and following behind Seb and Mikki to where their table was located at in more secluded part of the restaurant.

Introductions were quickly made for Mikki and Clint, since they were both on the outside when it came to those around the table, as Hunter had already been introduced to them as he had been there before they had showed up, as they were the last ones to arrive.

"I know for a fact that if I were to have any meal while I was with my boyfriend and my previous ex were to join us, that I would be all sorts of awkward," Avery started to say as she was sitting to the right of Onyx. "How are you not awkward with Hunter being here?" She asked.

"Blaine?" She asked, looking to the only person that could have filled Avery in on the situation with Hunter. Though if she had to pick anyone else, it could very well have been Harlow herself, as it took quite the convincing to get Harlow to agree to even meeting Hunter as that of purely friends.

"I needed my girlfriend to understand what we were walking into, in case things got out of hand," Blaine shrugged with a grin on his face. "And thanks for using my girlfriend to blackmail me into having her meet you and Seb," he sarcastically stated, his grin staying in place.

"You're welcome for that," Onyx grinned. "But you had to know that you couldn't keep her secret forever," she said. "We work together after all."

"I know," Blaine sighed. "It wasn't about keeping her from all of you, it's that I don't want for you guys to become best friends and for something to go wrong and then you're hanging out with her gossiping about things," he explained with a shrug.

"Like we would gossip about you if you two were to break up. You're not that important," Onyx teased. Blaine flipped her off, turning his attention to the rest of the group. "Honestly?" Onyx sighed, looking to where Hunter and Harlow seemed to be hitting it off at. "I was friends with Hunter before I dated him and sure this could have been awkward but I don't feel it, because we're trying to rebuild the friendship we had before we dated," she explained.

"I can get that," Avery nodded. "How's he taking this whole thing?" She asked, seeing just how close Clint stayed glued to Onyx and glaring at Hunter on more than one occasion.

"He's the one making it awkward," Onyx laughed, reaching under the table, to lightly squeeze his hand as he talked with Mike Chang; someone who she had yet to personally get to know as Seb had invited Mike and his wife Tina along. As Seb knew him through Mikki, but Mike had transferred schools, in way of moving a bit closer to home, having spent the last three years in Northern California. Mike taught in the math department as well as a coach for the dance team.

"Excuse me for having issues with the guy that crumbled your already delicate heart," Clint said, giving a pointed look at his girlfriend.

"A delicate heart that you've had no problem repairing," she told her boyfriend, kissing his cheek.

"You make it easy," Clint smiled.

"Please stop, the rest of us are trying to eat," Seb joked from across the table, as he sat across from her.

"And you know where you can shove it," she smiled sweetly at him.

"Can't you two get along on any outing?" Mikki asked with a playfully smile.

"Mikki, I am sure you know them better than the rest and know, those two can never fully get along," Hunter tossed out in a joking tone.

"I don't know about some, but I have seen them get alone just fine in public," Clint retorted, shooting a look at Hunter.

"Animosity at it's finest," Hunter retorted, not going to back down for nothing. He knew what he did wrong and he was trying to make up for all of it. Even though he was making amends with Onyx, he knew he would have to try a bit harder with Clint as one talk would never be good enough.

"You know I was thinking about having the triple chocolate cheesecake for dessert," Onyx suggested, moving attention away from Hunter and Clint the one way she knew how off the top of her mind.

"You hate chocolate, babe," Clint laughed, not going to call her out on getting the situation away from the little feud he felt coming on with Hunter.

"Right," she nodded. "So you can get it and I can try it and if I hate it, then it won't be a big deal and I'll just order the triple berry cheesecake," she smiled sweetly at Clint.

"If I do that, then you gotta share yours as well," Clint told her, as the rest of the table went back to what they were talking about as if nothing had taken place between Hunter and Clint.

"I think I can work that," she smiled, resting her head on her boyfriend's shoulder, looking at Avery. "How did the two of you meet?" She asked, wanting to know a bit more about the relationship between Avery and Blaine.

"Cooper," Blaine sighed, shaking his head.

"What?" Seb asked, having not heard the story either. "What does your brother have to do with meeting your girlfriend?"

"I was set to have brunch with Cooper and his fiancée and for whatever reason they had to cancel, I have yet to get the true story from either one of them, and in walked Avery and she needed a place to sit while she ate, and I invited to sit with me and the rest is history," Blaine shrugged.

"I believe there was a bit more to it than that," Avery laughed. "I wasn't looking for any sort of a relationship and I wanted to remain friends," she smiled, looking at Blaine. "And well you all know how Blaine can be when he wants something," she laughed, nudging him with her shoulder.

"Yeah, that is how we ended up being friends with him," Seb teased. "We had no choice but to be friends with him."

"At least I didn't go around and become best friends with the kid sister of the guy I don't get along with at school," Blaine joked back. "Oh wait, I'm sorry about that Onyx, didn't mean to reveal how your friendship with your best friend started," Blaine smirked.

"You're not sorry," Onyx pointed at him. "And besides, it's old news," she shrugged. She knew from the very start of her friendship with Seb on how it came to be and what was going on, as it wasn't just Seb in on it, as it was her as well.

"There is so much more to that story, then you can ever know," Seb laughed, sharing a look with Onyx, which made her laugh as well.

"I was there, I saw how pissed you two being friends made Jeff," Hunter said. "So what is it we are missing?" He asked.

"How can there be more to the story?" Blaine questioned, looking between the two laughing friends. "Were you two in on it?" He asked, eyeing them up.

"Something like that," Onyx nodded. "And it's a story for a later date in time," she nodded. "Like when Jeff is around, so I can personally see the look of horror on his face," she commented smirking.

"He's going to be pissed," Seb stated with a laugh. "So pissed that you might end up an only child."

"Maybe," Onyx agreed. She knew it would never come to that. Jeff might be a little ticked off at how it all came about, but not mad enough to disown her.

From there they moved on to other topics as the laughter flowed around the table as they moved on to eat their desserts as their evening slowly came to an end. With Onyx spending the night at Clint's place instead of going back to what would have been an empty apartment.
