Chapter 8: War
Summary: Kathryn is out to get Sebastian for making a fool of her
"Son?" My father called out from behind my closed bedroom door.
I was laying on my bed listening to my cd player when I heard my father call me. What did he want? My father barely ever came up to my room. I don't think he ever made it past his office.
I lowered the volume with my remote and called out "It's open."
My father entered and looked around nervously. He looked very out of his element up here in my room. The man was at home behind a desk not in a teenager's room. Hell I was surprised he even knew where my room was.
"What's up?" I asked curiously. Maybe it was time for our annual bonding talk. Every so often my father tried to touch base with me and have a meaningful conversation about whatever he saw on tv that teenagers today were into now.
My father sat down on the edge of my bed. "We need to talk." He said gravely.
"About?" I asked already bored with the conversation.
"For the last weeks I have been keeping company with a certain someone-" He pagan to rattle on.
Oh great! I thought to myself. My father was getting serious about someone and playing the concerned father he wanted to see if his little boy approved. I let him drone on and say his piece.
"Sebastian! Are you listening?" He asked suddenly in a sharp tone.
I looked up at surprise. I wasn't listening actually. I was just hoping he would drone on and then leave me be. But of course he had to be diffucult. "Yeah sure Dad." I said.
"Well that what do you have to say about what I just told you?" He asked.
Great he was gonna make me work! "Whatever you want." I said vaguely.
My father looked at for a brief second and shook his head. "Sebastian pay attention this isn't a laughing matter."
Realizing that my vague answers wasn't gonna satisfy him I began to listen and see what was so "important"
"Like I was saying." My father began again. "Recently I have been seeing someone. Any guesses about who?" He asked looking at me.
Jesus! What the hell did I care? Like his love life mattered to me? "Amber?" I asked guessing. Figuring his taste in women, the name Amber seemed like a safe guess.
My father just shook his impatiently. "Sebastian this is serious!"
"I don't know who!"
"A mother of one of your classmates." He began to hint.
I got a strange feeling in my stomach and looked at my father. Oh god! Please not her! I thought to myself. "Tell me." I said to my father and braced myself for the name.
"Tiffany Merteuil." My father said. And just the way he said her name made me cringe. He looked like a lovesick fool!
"Anyway. That's not the point." He said and looked directly at me. "It seems that her daughter Kathryn has a few complaints about you."
Why was I not surprised. After out last encounter I wasn't shocked but I saw curious about what the complaints were. "Such as?"
My father sighed. "That on a few occasion you tried to force yourself on her."
I almost laughed out loud! Now this was the same girl that a few short days ago was writhing around on my bed begging for me to fuck her? I let out a bitter laugh. "Far from it!" I said snottily.
My father didn't seem happy though. He gave me the same grave look that he did when he came into my room. "Look Sebastian I know Kathryn is a very attractive girl, but you have to show some self control." My father began to lecture.
I looked at my father for a second to see if he was serious. I mean come on! He knew how I was with the ladies! Did he actually think I would have to try and "force myself" on someone? Apparently he did, because my father continued to look at me with that serious expression of his. Unbelievable! That damn witch really pulled some sort of act!
I was seriously pissed! "Come on. You know better than that." I said looking at my father appealingly.
My father averted his eyes from mine and sighed heavily. "Look Sebastian I am starting to care for this woman and I would hate for any unneeded conflict to hamper this relationship." He said and looked at me meaningfully.
Oh I got it alright. "Yeah sure whatever." I said to may father as calmly as I could.
My father finally began to smile and looked at me happily. "Good." He said and rose from my bed. "You'll see Sebastian. It all will blow over in time." My father said and went to leave my room.
Oh it will work out alright I am sure. Yeah as soon as Kathryn tried to drive my father from sending me away! My father didn't come out and say it, but I got the implied hint and knew what he was driving at. Now I knew Kathryn was devious and I am sure she was really pissed off at me. I knew she would strike back at some way. But this was an all time low! She wouldn't stop at this I am sure of it. She wouldn't be happy unless I was far away from her. Because I had the nerve to make a fool of her and she was sure as hell wasn't having that! I sighed as I realized that the only course of action I could take was what I was trying not to.
"Man I don't know about this." Blain said nervously.
"What's wrong?" I asked impatiently. Blain would not stop freaking complaining since I came and picked him up. He may be one of my closest friends, but he was driving me crazy!
"I know you have it in for her, but isn't this a little extreme?" He asked.
Was he kidding? The bitch tried to ruin me! All along I was being the sucker while she was playing me all along. I wasn't gonna take any more shit anymore. The bitch wanted to play hardball? Well I was prepared!
I ignored Blain and roughly grabbed my car door handle. "Get your stuff and come on." I said sharply.
Blain sighed and complied with me. "I am telling you it's a mistake." Blain said.
I continue to ignore Blain and walked ahead of him. What the hell did he know?
The next day at school I could hardly contain my excitement as I parked my car in the school parking lot. For the first time in years I got here early and hung around the courtyard an waited for the rest of the students to show up. Today was the day and couldn't wait to see Kathryn show up.
Gradually students began to arrive and enter the school. Oh to see their reactions! I would have loved to, but I had to wait for the queen herself. Her reaction was the one I was interest in. Kathryn's Rolls Royce finally pulled up to the school and Kathryn jumped out of the back seat. She looked at me watching her and she sneered at me.Enjoy it while you can! I thought to myself and scrambled to my feet to make it into the building ahead of her.
When I entered the school, the hallway was deadly quiet as the all had their heads raised as they looked at the posters hanging up on the walls, the me and Blain had hung the previous night.
"She's coming now." I announced in a loud voice to the students.
When Kathryn burst through the doors the students all stared at Kathryn. She was puzzled by all this and looked around with a puzzled smile. Only did she notice the posters hanging on the wall.. She started at them in shock for a minute. They were very explicit showing Kathryn in one with a straw up her nose getting a snortfull of cocaine. The other one that was my personal favorite was one of her on all fours with one man taking her from behind and her giving another man head. Their were thoughtfully supplied by Blain's guys from Boston.
All while Kathryn's life was shattering right in front of her there was one thing troubling me. While at this very moment when I should be filled with triumph, I wasn't.
"You 'll regret this." Blain told me before I dropped him off last night.
What a pain I thought to myself when he said that to me. It was ironic really, the very moment I should be filled with triumph, I wasn't. Instead I felt the sharp of remorse sear through me.
"Son?" My father called out from behind my closed bedroom door.
