Hi there guys, I apologize for the wait. I have been quite busy and I haven't even been able to look at Fanfiction, *gasps* the horror. Anyways, no new updates for right now, other than the fact that I will have two new stories up hopefully by the end of this week. I'll tell you guys the title when they're up. Thanks for the reviews and reading. On with the story, but after a short sad, depressing disclaimer...
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GLEE...isn't it obvious?
CHAPTER 7:
"Great, so what are we doing now?" Sebastian asks, with mock enthusiasm. Rachel elbows him and he sends her a wink in reply. Santana and Brittany, the traitors, laugh and applaud Sebastian.
"We try and fix you pathetic losers." Sue replies, scrutinizing the whole club.
"Actually, no Sue, we are going to work on our setlist for Sectionals. Like I said the theme is ANTHEM, any songs that comes to mind guys?" Mr. Schue asks, resisting the urge to facepalm when he sees Brittany and Finn immediately raise up their hands. He gave them the benefit of the doubt and nodded for them to voice their opinions.
"America, the Beautiful!" Finn says.
"The Anthem!" Brittany yells. Santana facepalms and reaches up to tug Brittany's waving hand down.
"What? It's a good one!" Brittany states.
"Yes, baby, it is." Artie says patting her hand.
"No you idiots! Anthems! Things that represent what you feel or something like that. Pride or some nonsensical feel good saying you choir dorks say." Sue yells.
"Mr. Schue this is honestly ridiculous. Why don't we actually listen to what Coach Sylvester has to say. She does win at everything." Rachel points out and everyone, except Santana, Puck, and Sebastian, looks at her in shock.
"Did, THE Rachel Berry, just say we should LISTEN to our number one tormentor?" Kurt asks the entire club, aghast at such a possibility.
"It really isn't a bad idea. I mean, it's true and it's sbout time we actually have some proper guidance. Finn is a joke of a leader and Mr. Schue gave Quinn the lead." Rachel states nonchalantly, expecting the shocked gasps of everyone. Damn, they were out of some fucking soap opera.
"WHAT?!" Santana exclaims, jumping up to look at Mr. Schue. Brittant and Rachel quickly grab the hem of her Cheerios top and tug her back down.
"Rachel, what? How-how did you know?" Mr. Schue asks shell-shocked, ignoring Santana.
"Can you do me a favor and keep a hand on Noah, I don't want him doing anything stupid." she whispers to Sebastian before replying to Mr. Schue. Sebastian hesitantly complies. He doesn't actually rest a hand on Puck, he just keeps an eye on him in his peripheral vision ready to push him back on his seat if he looked like he was going to kill someone. Like Santana currently does.
"I overheard you telling Ms. Pillsbury about it. I also heard you calling me a spoiled, attention-hogging starlet. That I completely accept because it's true." she replies keeping a firm grip on Santana.
"Dude!" Puck exclaims looking at Mr. Schue shocked that his almost father figure would say something like that behind his sister's back. That was such a douchebag move, plus he's a fucking teacher. They all knew he didn't really like Rachel. After all, whenever someone would say something to Rachel, i.e. Quinn, and before Santana and Mercedes and Kurt. The story of how they all became close was for another day.
"Mr. Schue is that true?" Tina asks, just as shocked as her classmates. They knew he didn't like Rachel, but they never thought he would talk about any of them, especially Rachel, behind their backs like that.
"That's enough out of all of you. We need to work on this setlist. We need to win or there's no more GLEE club guys." Finn says, attempting to be the leader again.
"Shut up Finnessa we want to hear the truth." Puck snarls.
"Shut it Puckerman! You need Glee Club out of all of us. Keeps you out of the shit you always get yourself into."
"Least he actually gets into shit and isn't a pansy ass like you." Sebastian comments.
"Stay out of it, pretty boy. Don't get yourself mixed up into shit that you couldn't handle."
"I can handle myself just fine, but you? I think you should sit back down, Frankenfinn, before you hurt yourself."
"Watch yourself, freshman-" Finn starts but gets cut off by Sebastian.
"What is it with everyone and thinking I'm a freshman? I sure as hell don't look like a freshman." Sebastian says to Rachel, who is trying her hardest not to laugh at Sebastian's slight whine and Finn's enraged face.
"Hey! I'm talking to you, douchebag!" Finn yells and Sebastian turns to look at him again.
"Oh right, we were actually having somewhat of an intellectual conversation. As intellectual as you can be that is. Anyways, for your information, I am not a freshman. Secondly, I think we should stop before you actually do hurt yourself trying to think of, what you believe are good comebacks, and sit down. Honestly, I'm getting bored so I'm sitting down. You can try and beat me up or whatever it is, you're planning on doing with your fists right now, but I could probably have you on your back in 10 seconds if you try, you're choice." Sebastian states sitting down and throwing his arm around Rachel's chair.
"Good job, you managed to shock the stupidity out of Hudson. Not unusual but still," Santana says and Sebastian just grins. The bell rings signalling the end of class.
"Thank God I can get out of this cesspool!" Sue rejoices booking it out of the room.
"I want some song ideas by tomorrow guys." Mr. Schue states before following suit after Sue. The class takes their time to leave before all making their way to the front of the class. Sebastian still holding Rachel's bag but Rachel is holding her books. Santana and Briitany flanking Rachel, they stand slightly behind her. While Puck and Matt stand behind Sebastian with Mike next to Matt and Artie next to Puck. Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina are also behind Rachel. On the other side of the group was Quinn and Finn.
"This isn't even over yet, newbie" Finn snarls fisting Sebastian's shirt. Sebastian looks at Finn, bored, before punching him. Finn stumbles away while Quinn shrieks outraged, marching her way to Sebastian.
"You asshole!" she continues to shriek, making a move to slap Sebastian. But before she could, Rachel reaches up and grabs her wrist before twisting it so it went behind Quinn's back and then kicks to push her towards the recovering Finn.
"Don't hit a guy, when you know he'll be man enough to not hit you back, you bitch." Rachel states in a cool voice. She grabs Sebastian's hand and with her other free hand locks pinkies with Santana tugging them out of the Glee room and the rest of their group follows. She lets go of Santana but Sebastian doesn't let go of her hand.
"That was so badass my hot American Jewish princess." Puck exclaims and fist bumps Sebastian in respect for what he did to Finn.
"Thanks Noah. I'll see you guys after practice right?" Rachel says giggling.
"Yeah, Rach, why don't you just wait for us?" Matt whines.
"Matty, you know why!" Rachel says with a disparaging look. He sighs in defeat and nods.
"You know we would beat them bitches up." Santana says scornfully.
"I don't want to cause further tension in your teams then I already have."
"Hey is there a lacrosse team here or something?" Sebastian asks looking at Puck, Matt, and Mike.
"Yeah, I think but they suck and now they don't have enough players because their captain graduated last year." Puck responds.
"I can fix that," Sebastian says smirking.
"You know what? Dude, if you can shape up the lacrosse team, I'll join it." Matt says and everyone looks at him shocked.
"Dude!" Mike says.
"What?" Matt replies shrugging, "Hudson, sucks, Tanaka can't coach for shit. and Hudson going to make everything worse now that he knows we side with Rach and Sebastian. Plus the team is a bunch of douchebags."
"Not all of them," Mike mutters, seeing Matt's point.
"Well the ones who aren't douchebags would follow Puckerman, me and you man. Come on, we can actually win something for once. Lacrosse ain't that bad either." Matt says looking at Puck and Mike.
"I'm down dude," Puck says shrugging. He looks then looks at Sebastian, "Fix the fuckers up soon, man, I don't want to take anymore of Finn's bullshit." he says and they all begin to make their way to the dressing rooms. They stop in front of the doors.
"Why don't you just join lacrosse now?" Rachel asks the boys.
"We need time to convince some of the others to come with us. Plus, Sebastian buddy here needs to make sure that team is actually salvageable." Matt replies.
"We'll meet you at your house Rachy!" Mike says hugging her and spinning her around ebfore pushing the doors to walk in the room. Matt and Puck quickly follow before saying their goodbyes.
"Nice to meet you man," Puck says the Sebastian doing that weird man hug that they all do. "Watch over our Berry for us would ya?" he asks before leaving them. Santana and Brittany also say goodbye before going off to Cheerios torture. No seriously, that's what it's called, it's not practice, Sue refers it to torture.
"We'll see you guys later, we need to go to the library first, too." Artie says. Rachel smiles and leans down to hug him. Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina follow Artie yelling bye over their shoulder.
"And then there were two," Sebastian comments and Rachel laughs nudging him. He smiles down at her before slinging an arm causally around her.
"Is there something about you that insists on having an arm around me at all times?" she asks him teasingly.
"No, you;re just the perfect height for it." he replies and they walk down the empty hallway together.
"Do you know where you're going?' she asks him after a few minutes of comfortable silence.
"Not really but I want to find where the lacrosse losers are." he says looking in every door.
"Oh why didn't you say so?" she says before grabbing the arm that was around her and holding his hand before tugging him down the hall towards another room.
"How do you know where they meet?" he asks. Does she know everything or something?
"I went into the wrong room one day and I saw them. They were interesting enough for me to stay."
"Interesting? What do you mean crazy Berry? Why'd you stay?" he asks raising an eyebrow. She really was unexpected sometimes. That was something he liked. She doesn't reply because they halt in front of a door and she pushes her way in.
"Rachel!" a group of boys cheer and Sebastian suddenly finds himself outside of a circle of boys who were surrounding his Rachel. Wait his Rachel? Since when in the actual fuck did that happen?
"Where have you been?!" one of them, a blonde one exclaims.
"It's only the first week of school. I've been busy. Any new members?" she asks and the happy mood slowly deteriorates. They all disperse slowly and begin to sit down again.
"No, no one's joined, they all went for football." a brown haired boy replies, dejected.
"Well, I have one new member. Guys," she says and reaches out to Sebastian grabbing his hand, "this is my new friend Sebastian. Sebastian this is the lacrosse team." she finishes gesturing from the team to Sebastian.
"Hey," Sebastian says greeting the team while the team replies with hey's, sup's, and hi's.
"So uh, what now?" the previously blonde one asks and everyone looks at Rachel. She groans and shakes her head.
"Well, I've been categorizing you guys into blondies and brunettes so knowing each others names would be a good start." Sebastian says and the team shrugs.
"I'm Jackson," the only blonde who was talking says.
"Jacob," the brunette states.
"Dylan," a black-haired guy says waving.
"And everyone else is Alex, Seth, Michael, Edward, Jeff, and Andy," Rachel says pointing out who was who. Sebastian took it all in quickly, they didn't seem that bad. Maybe a little unorganized and there really was no significant leader in the group.
"So, who's the captain?' Sebastian asks, looking at them. He wanted captain and he knew he had the ability, skill, and physique to prove it. Hey, no one ever said he was supposed to be modest about himself.
"Well we didn't really want to decide on that yet." Edward says.
"Bullshit, you guys are just indecisive." Rachel crows and the boys all look down sheepishly.
"Well, my name's Sebastian as you should all know by now I guess, and I am trying out for Captain." he says ignoring Rachel's comment and the boy's embarrassment from the comment. Maybe he should teach them the Art of Not Letting Girls Get to You Easily. That was damn hard to figure out at first.
"Uh, ok. Does anyone else want the spot?" Andy says looking at the team. Everyone just shakes their heads.
"Alright then, Sebastian, guess you're the captain." Jeff states cheerfully shaking Sebastian's hand.
"So now that you guys have enough people to actually make up a team, shouldn't you start practicing?" Rachel asks looking at them curiously.
"Hold on Rachy," Michael says teasingly, "Sebastian, how long have you been playing lacrosse?"
"Ever since I can remember. I was in varsity for my old school's team and co-captain." he replies in his usual cocky manner.
"Great, you have experience. We usually have to wait for football practice to be over because those shits don't know what the fuck they're doing and end up messing around everywhere. We have a lacrosse field, but it's also a piece of shit and it's hard to play there, so we wait for football to end." Seth replies, spitting out football whenever he said it.
"Then I guess we have some fixing up to do. Who's our coach?" Sebastian asks looking around the room to see if he missed seeing them or something.
"Another reason why we have to wait for football, Tanaka's our coach."
"What? I thought, he was coaching football! And that he sucks at coaching!" Sebastian says enraged. He loves lacrosse almost as much as he loves girls and sex and good food. And sex, sex is always good.
"Yeah, we've been trying to find a new coach but we can't afford it. We can barely support the team itself plus the field. And since no one really knows about us, because we keep losing, no one goes to the game, so no profit there either." Edward states.
"Well it's a good damn thing I have connections isn't it?" Sebastian says smirking. Everyone looks at him, confused.
"What do you mean? What connections?" Rachel asks suspicious. She had just met Sebastian but she already knew he was the type to have connections everywhere, but how he got those connections were thousands of possibilities.
"Let's just say I'm really rich alright?" he replies not really wanting to go into the actual sob story and such.
"Fine," Rachel says calmly, not wanting to give away the fact that she would be asking him about it later.
"Ok? I guess, but what do your connections have to do with us?" Jacob asks raising an eyebrow.
"It means I can find us a coach, sponsor, and enough money to pay for someone to fix the field." Sebastian replies with a grin. And just like that, he was respected by the team and Rachel.
"Dude, thanks man seriously, that's huge for us." Jackson says gratefully. He was a junior and he needed an impressive sport to actual help him get into a better college.
"Not a problem, love this sport almost as much as sex. And sex is hella amazing," Sebastian says grinning, the boys smirked and grinned. A few slightly blushed at the thought.
"Vulgar Neanderthals!" Rachel hisses trying to act disgusted, but she her smile gave her true emotion or playfulness away.
"Don't lie babe, we all know you like sex too." Sebastian says collapsing on a chair, bending his arms and clasping his hands behind his head. Rachel couldn't help but admire his muscles for what, the second? Third?, time today. But honestly, if you had arms like that and a face like that, looking and admiring cannot be helped.
"Oh please Sebastian, let's not talk about my sex life," she says waving him off.
"So you do have a sex life?" Jackson asks and all the boys are suddenly very interested.
"I am not going to answer your hormonal questions, guys."
"That means yes by default," Sebastian says in a smug, sing-song voice. Rachel resists the urge to punch him in the balls.
"No it means I am not, will not, and shall not talk to you guys about this."
"This is coming from one of the perviest girls we know." Jackson says.
"Well, considering I am one of the only girls you do actually do know and talk to, then yeah I guess you could say that."
"Are you suggesting that we're anti-social when it comes to girls?" Jacob asks slightly teasing and slightly hurt.
"No I am saying you guys are anti-social when it comes to my gender."
"That's harsh."
"It's the truth babes." she replies, looking at them with her ever knowing look. They all sigh in response, knowing she was right. Well except for Mr. Sebastian because we all know he's had tons of experience.
"Except for you Sebastian, you seem like the type to be active with females, or males whichever you prefer," Rachel says, calling him out on what he was thinking.
"Eh," he says shrugging, "I'm not anti-social. I love my fair share of the ladies, after all my charm must be used for something."
"Manwhore," Rachel states bluntly and everyone gapes at her.
"I am not a manwhore," Sebastian says slowly, "much." he finishes grinning.
"I knew it. You seemed like the type."
"That or your girl instincts were telling you that you need to be with me, like all those other girls were."
"Cocky manwhore too!"
"Well a manwhore has to be cocky in order to be a satisfactory manwhore don't you know?" he says calmly as if it was the most normal, non-sexual, comment in the world. On the other hand, the boys were looking back and forth between the bantering duo like it was a ping-pong match.
"Oh, witty. I'm sure your sarcasm and sexual innuendos turn everyone on."
"It's working with you now, it must be."
"Ha, you wish. No, I don't fall for the manwhores. You guys need to work for it, for me."
"I can work, or you can just fall at my feet and save us some time. On your knees of course, but not too hard dont want to hurt those fantastic legs of yours." The boys can't help but laugh at that remark, but the pair doesn't pay them any mind. They continue with their quick comebacks and hard-to-get, in Rachel's case at least, demeanor.
"Or you ca just give up now and save yourself some humiliation. And if anyone's going to be on their knees it's you honey."
"I would be on my knees gladly, but I might have to work out my shoulders and arms a little more if I'm going to be holding you up after I show you how good I am to the point of sheer exhaustion. That sounds fun, doesn't it love?"
"It sounds like all types of fun and it must be a great workout. It's good for me to practice for singing, see how long I can hold my breath I suppose, but then again since I have no gag reflex, it's a little easier." Sebastian choked on his own breath and stared at Rachel, wide-eyed, as the other boys were.
"You-you have NO GAG REFLEX?" Sebastian chokes out. Rachel looks at him smugly, knowing he had just won whatever banter they just had.
"Nope, not at all."
"Holy shit," all the boys mutter under their breaths.
"Well boys, I love doing this with you but I really do need to get going." Rachel says standing up and they all stand up with her. Sebastian makes a move to walk over to her but stops. He turns to look at the boys again.
"Meeting here tomorrow same time," he states authoritatively and they all nod seeing their captain in him, not as the Sebastian that likes to be a manhwore.
"See you tomorrow boys," Rachel says smiling softly at them before grabbing her books. She goes to get her bag but Sebastian beats her to it again and they walk out together.
"That was interesting," Rachel muses as they walk down the deserted hall.
"Everything is interesting when it comes to sex," Sebastian states pushing the doors to the parking lot open.
"So, little Miss Rachel Berry am I invited to this little social Glee gathering you have?" Sebastian asks smoothly spinning around to face her as they lean against her car.
"I suppose you can, they'll all be excited to see the new kid that sang to the Rachel Berry."
"I'm sure they were shocked seeing how Finn pissed all over you like a dog marking his territory."
"Yes you're one of the first to go head to head with the airhead of the school."
"It really was boring fighting with him. I, mean really, he's like a constipated zombie. Can't even handle his own shit."
"Sebastian we need to go, you can rant about Finnkenstein later." she says getting in her car and getting her bag from Sebastians out stretched hand. She shuts the door and Sebastian rests his arms in the top of them door, leaning his head on his clasped hands.
"I'll see you later Rachel." he says leaning in close to her. Rachel,unconsciously begins to lean close. When their lips are about to brush against each other, Sebastian pulls away slowly, smirking and grinning and biting his lip in his oh so sexy manner. Rachel looks at him, stupefied that she was actually about to kiss him and that she was disappointed that they didn't
"Bye now," he says before pushing himself off the car and casually walking away to his car. He quickly unlocks it, climbs in, and starts the car while buckling himself in. He sends her a quick wink before backing out of his space. He sidles up to Rachel's car, where she was still staring jaw slightly agape.
"Love, close your mouth save that for when we aren't in public. Unless you're into that" he says and she quickly snaps out of her foggy mind. She starts her car and Sebastian drives farther away to give her space to lead him to her house.
