Jade hurried through the large doors Blaine had described, she was late but she was here. Blaine had asked her to go along with him to Dalton. He wanted to invite the Warblers for his performance of West Side Story at McKinnley.
She was texting, but called out, "Blaine, sorry! I'm here. And I'm hoping that not all the guys that go here are gay."
She looked up to see a group of guys huddled around Blaine, chatting with him. They wore Warbler's jackets and seemed happy to have him back. Jade smiled internally, he looked at home.
The guys looked up when she entered and laughed at her comment. She grinned at Blaine who had a huge grin on his face.
"No, not all of us are." A tall, big built guy with ash blonde hair said from next to Blaine while shooting her a wink.
She rolled her eyes. The group had broken up and settled around the large room. It had dark wood panelling along the walls and very mature furniture. There were several plush, maroon couches and large rugs.
She went up to Blaine, "So can they come?" she asked him.
"They said they can make it." Blaine smiled. She was happy for him. She let him go off and catch up with some of the boys while she stood and admired the painting and portraits they had on the walls.
"So will we be seeing you performing too?" A voice said from behind her.
She turned and found herself looking at a tall brunette, with extremely piercing blue eyes. He was very, very good looking.
"You will." she said looking straight at him, a cocky tone to her voice.
A smirk played on his lips. "Sebastian Smythe" he introduced himself, putting out his hand.
"Jade Summers" she replied, shaking it.
"Pleasure." he replied, looking into her brown eyes.
There was electricity in the air as their hands touched.
"Blaine has a boyfriend by the way." she said looking at him curiously. She had caught him checking Blaine out but he didn't seem to be gay. Then again, she wouldn't know. When she first joined McKinnley, she had had a huge crush on Blaine. She and Kurt were best friends and she hadn't known about him and Blaine when she admitted to Kurt about her crush on Blaine. They had laughed about it later.
"So?" he replied raising his eyebrows, confused.
"I saw you looking at him earlier." She said, wondering whether he was bi. She didn't really find a difference between people of different sexualities. Unless they were as flamboyant as Kurt of course.
"So you go to McKinnley?" he asked, changing the subject, his voice light and seductive.
"Recently transferred." She replied, thinking he had an adorable dimple. Why were all the best ones gay?
"I just moved to Dalton."
"And into the Warblers?" she asked, surprised. Blaine had told her about their auditioning process.
"Yeah, I'm guessing you're in New Directions?" he asked, his tone changing when he said the show choir's name.
"And I'm guessing you're not a fan?" she retaliated raising an eyebrow, an amused tone to her voice.
"I didn't say that." He said, his expression neutral.
"You didn't have to." she said with a smug smile. Sebastian only smirked in response.
"We can leave now -" Blaine called coming up behind her, "-unless you -" he began to add when he saw the two of them talking.
"-Let's go." she cut him off.
She turned to an amused Sebastian "See you later." she said smiling.
"I hope so." he said with a mysterious smile.
She walked out with Blaine and headed to the parking lot.
"We could have stayed, you know." He said looking at her waggling his eyebrows.
"Oh stop it, you look really creepy." she said and laughed.
"He was cute." He remarked.
"I know a lot of cute guys" she said and winked at him.
He laughed. "Funny."
"I wasn't lying." she said in a sing-song voice.
He shook his head as they got into the car, she was thinking about the gorgeous boy with the blue eyes.
Was he gay?
"Who was that by the way?" Blaine asked when they were on the road.
"Sebastian Smythe. I think he's gay though." She said with a bemused expression.
"I don't think so. He was into you." He said and Jade laughed at his phrasing.
"He was staring at you from the moment you entered." she said turning to look at him.
"I'm a pretty good looking guy." He said with a haughty smirk.
"I know. A good looking guy" She said, emphasizing on the last word.
"Right. So he might be gay then." Blaine said biting his lip.
She laughed.
About two days later.
She was sitting in the cafe, texting Quinn.
Where are you?
I'm sorry, running late. I'll be there.
She sighed and put her phone away.
"What's a beautiful girl like you doing sitting alone in a coffee shop?" she heard a familiar voice ask.
She looked up and saw Sebastian Smythe. She smirked, such a line.
"Waiting for a friend." she said. He was wearing his Dalton uniform. The blazer fit him exceptionally well. He seemed to be well built. She had to look up at him from where she was sitting. He was pretty tall, at least six feet.
"A boyfriend?" he inquired raising an eyebrow.
"Just a friend. What brings you here?" She asked, smirking.
"Catching up on some school work." he said, gesturing to the bag slung on his shoulder.
"Living up to the prep school pretty boy image huh?" she teased.
He laughed. It was soft and hoarse, she liked it. "I suppose so." he replied in that sexy voice.
Her phone vibrated and she checked it.
I'm sorry J. Can't make it. I'll make it up to you.
You better.
Sighing she turned to look at Sebastian. "I've just been ditched." she admitted, getting up to leave.
"Wait, you're already here. Why not have a cup of coffee with me?" he stopped her with a confident smile.
"I.. Don't think so." She replied turning away. She wasn't sure of him, yet.
"Oh come on," he said sliding into the booth and gesturing opposite him. "What harm can it do? My treat." he said, a taunting tone to his voice.
She was intrigued. "Alright. I have a shot of Courvosier with my coffee." she said, sliding in opposite him.
He raised his eyebrows as he got up. "What a coincidence." he said and left to get the drinks.
She didn't know why she had just agreed to coffee with a boy she hardly knew, but she did it anyway. He sparked curiosity in her. What was his deal?
He returned a few moments later, handing her the scalding coffee.
"Thank you." she smiled taking the cup.
"So why exactly are we doing this?" she asked, sipping from the cup lightly.
"It's just two friends hanging out." he replied, a suspicious glint in his eye.
"So we're friends now?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We could be." he said with a cocky smile. She shook her head, he was confident. She had to give him that.
"Where did you transfer from?" he asked.
"New York." she replied to see a bemused expression cross his features.
"Okay, let's start with, where did you live before you moved here?" he said, resting his elbows on the table and leaning in.
She smiled. "Like I said, New York. Lived in Manhattan for most of my life. My parents sent me here so I could see how it is to live in a 'small town' " she said with air quotes.
"Just how - " "- They used to when they were younger?" he finished her sentence.
"Exactly." She grimaced. "So here I am in public school."
"And she calls me the prep" he smiled and she grinned.
"What about you Smythe? What's your story?" She said gesturing to him with her cup.
"I moved here from Paris about two years ago."
"Oh where in?" she interrupted, a tone of interest. Her eyes lit up when she said that.
"Beauborg." he replied with a perfect accent.
"I vacation in Champ Elysees. Unless my parents are feeling tropical, that is." she told him.
"Do you like it there?" he asked, seeming genuinely interested.
"It's beautiful in Spring. I'm sorry I interrupted, go on." she said biting her lip. He was attracted to that, it was so seductive, even though it was an innocent move.
"It's alright. That's basically it. I lived in L.A for a while and then moved here because of my father's job." he finished
"Quite a change isn't it?" she smiled sympathetically.
"Definitely." he nodded, glad she understood.
"So I joined Dalton, I was unaware Lima Heights had any decent schools actually." she laughed, rolling her eyes.
He grinned, "Auditioned, got into the Warblers and met a beautiful girl in a coffee shop I was unaware carried any decent coffee."
"You Sebastian Smythe, are a snob." she said leaning into the table slightly.
He enjoyed the way his name sounded coming from her lips.
"From what I've heard, you aren't exactly Plain Jane." he replied, leaning in as well.
"Damn straight." she winked and sat back as he laughed.
"You're intriguing Jade Summers." The way her name rolled in his mouth was very attractive.
"I've never been called that before." she said sipping her coffee.
"Surprising." he remarked, taking a sip of his own.
"So do you do anything other than sing and ask girls you don't know to coffee?" she asked with a smile
"Hey, that's unfair. We had met before." he defended
"Barely."
"I'm on the lacrosse team." He said with a grin.
"Of course you are." She said shaking her head.
"What?" he asked confused. His brows furrowed. She thought he looked adorable.
"Definitely a prep school snob." She said looking at him with an amused expression.
He sighed dramatically. "Are you into any sports I can use to label you with?" he teased
She laughed, it was a tinkling musical laugh. He liked it.
"There's Glee club. And I used to be in the dance club in my old school."
"A performer." he smiled.
"Always have been. You know the parents who try to bring up overachievers." she said rolling her eyes.
"Ah, yes. I know them well. Piano lessons -"
"Vocal classes"
"Ballet classes" he cringed and she began to laugh.
"Are you serious?" she asked still shaking with laughter.
"Unfortunately I am." he said with a grimace. " I have the photos, and the perfect poise to prove it."
"Now the negatives I would love to see." she said with a devious smile.
"Too bad. They're hidden. I have to remember to burn them sometime soon." he said shaking his head.
"Please don't." she said wiping tears from the corner of her eyes.
He smiled and looked across the beautiful girl with the musical laugh. He was enchanted by the way her eyes shone when she smiled, and the bounce to her wavy hair when she moved.
She checked her phone for the time, "Well it's been interesting, and I'd go so far as to say fun Smythe. But I've gotta go." She said looking up at him.
"Yeah, it's definitely been fun." He smiled up at her "Do you need a ride?" he offered,
"I'm good, thanks." She said standing up and sliding out of the booth. He got up too.
He was taller than her by about an inch. They stood across each other, but not very far apart.
He noticed her high cheekbones, and almond shaped eyes. Her eyes. They were very captivating, he was entranced by their depth. She was a striking girl.
She looked into his sky blue eyes, they were so mesmerized by them. Standing so close to him she noticed his defined jaw and it made something in her stir.
"Goodbye Smythe." she said softly, her voice enticing him.
"See you again?" he asked with a confident smile.
"Maybe you will." she smirked and turned, walking to the door.
He watched her walk away, the sway of her hips enamoring.
She was different.
