"You know what? I'll be glad to get the hell out of here." Kathryn told Sebastian that Monday morning as their limo pulled up by Manchester Prep. She didn't notice how Sebastian squinted at her.

"Really?"

She nodded, getting out of the car. "Yes! All these pathetic losers. They bore me."

'Me too?' Sebastian wanted to ask but didn't. He couldn't stop thinking about the fact that there was a possibility that Kathryn was doing this to get rid of him.

"What's wrong with you?" She glanced at him, looking annoyed, and he shook his head and started to walk towards the school as Kathryn followed him.

"I know there's something.You've been acting weird."

Sebastian stopped almost making her crash right into him. "I'm sorry if my behaviour disturbs your everyday wining but I have a lot on my mind. You know ... college and all." He snapped and Kathryn frowned.

"Bullshit. You already got into Harvard. What more is there to it?" She asked and was surprised to see how mad Sebastian looked. His jaws were tense and there seemed to be something he couldn't get out.

He knew that she had no idea he'd gotten into Yale too but she made it sound so easy. Like it was all done and who was to care about it? He shook his head. "Whatever." He snarled and walked rapidly into the building.

Kathryn stood still for a couple of seconds just looking at his back disappear in the crowd of teenagers. "What the hell just happened?" She asked herself quietly before she followed him into the school.

Sebastian was in a terrible mood. If she thought she could play him she was wrong. Looking innocent and fluttering her eyelashes - he'd so easily seen right through her before. How had he not realised it this time?

What was different? Just because they were fucking it didn't mean she could do whatever to him.

He knew it was his own fault. He'd closed his eyes. Pretended that he didn't know she was a manipulative, cold bitch who'd do anything to get her will done.

'You're just a toy Sebastian. A little toy I like to play with' It was her own words. He'd refused to accept them. She'd played him, he'd come back and now she was using him again. Once she didn't need him anymore he'd probably never see her again.

He was in pain. How could he have let it go this far? Beyond control. He shook his head again. He wasn't going to be her toy anymore.

"Hey Valmont." Troy Russel sat down next to him.

"Hey Troy." Sebastian muttered as Troy patted his back.

"Heavy thoughts?" He asked and Sebastian pulled his hand through his hair.

"Nah, just tired." He sighed, wondering what Court Reynolds friend could possibly want from him. "What's up?"

"I just wanted some advice" The other guy admitted in a low secretive voice. Sebastian could tell he was embarrased.

"About?" Himself he was intrigued. It wasn't for nothing a guy like Troy would ask him for help. Since he was a friend of Courts, and Sebastian and Court never really had liked each other - it kind of automatically put him and Troy on animosity terms.

"Well it's about your sister."

"Kathryn?" Sebastian snapped out of his train of thoughts and put his full attention to the jock next to him. "What about her?"

Troy grinned and poked him in his side with his elbow. "I'm not sure what she likes." He saw Sebastian's eyes and misinterpreted them for questioning. "We have a date." He explained.

"Is that so?" Sebastian plastered a smile to his face. That bitch. She didn't even try to hide how replaceable he was. And all these redneck morons. Court, Ronald, Troy. Why did she have to show him that he wasn't good enough for her? That she needed more.

At least his girls had a little class on them. And they meant nothing to him; Kathryn always seemed protective and somewhat proud of the guys she saw. They weren't conquests for her. They were lovers. Equals to him.

"I don't know if I can help you Troy." He snarled standing up to leave. "I really don't know my sister that well." He gathered his things. "I don't think I know her at all." He mumbled to himself walking away.

***

To her annoyance, Sebastian avoided Kathryn all day. Whenever she came within ten feet, he left looking sulky.

Since she had no idea why he was acting like he was it really annoyed her. She understood he was angry about something but she hadn't done anything he could possibly be mad about. She'd been a perfectly good girl and still she got shit for it!

"What's the point?" She muttered to herself when she saw him leave the library just as she got there.

"Did you say something?" Her friend Alyssa asked her and Kathryn shook her head.

"Not a zip."

They sat down by a table and pulled out their books. Kathryn gave them a bored glance. She gotten in to college. Why did they still have homework?

"Kathryn is something wrong?"

Alyssa's voice made her look up surprised. She'd almsot forgotten she wasn't alone. "Eh...no." She shook her head dismissing and looked down on her books again to avoid a converstation.

"Is it something about Sebastian?" Alyssa asked careful and Kathryn flinched. Did she know?

"What?" She asked defensive, crinkling her eyebrows.

Alyssa nodded friendly. "I've noticed he's been a bit ... distracted lately. You know, like he has a lot on his mind. Is he alright?"

Kathryn calmed down and felt a smile curling on her lips but forced herself to hid it as she nodded making a sad face. "Well he's having a hard time. You know..." She interrupted herself looking around to make sure no one else heard them. Then she leaned closer and said quietly:

"I'm not supposed to say this but ...Sebastian and I saw something." Alyssa seemed extremly interested and Kathryn continued. "It's about his dad..."

***

Later on, leaving the library, Kathryn grinned to herself. Alyssa wasn't a girl who spread gossip all over school, it wasn't her style. But it was a known fact that Alyssa shared everything with her mother. Everything.

And Alyssa's mother was Lucinda Rockwater - Tiffani Merteuil Valmont's best friend.

Kathryn had to use all her willpower not to break out in a great big laugh. She couldn't wait to tell Sebastian.

The game was on.
