Sebastian stood at his new locker after putting in the combination he was given when he enrolled within the school. He stood there putting away his books from his earlier classes and grabbing some more for his next class. He held his backpack by the strap with his zip open so that he could pack away some of his books.
Rachel walked out of the classroom holding onto Finn's arm complaining about earlier that day in the choir room when she spots him putting away his stuff in his locker. Stomping her foot on the ground and pulling a face of a spoilt child who was fuming that they didn't get what they wanted, she stomped her way over to Sebastian and slammed his locker door shut causing him to jolt back, his snapped his head towards her and frowned at her.
"What the hell are you doing?" He yelled at her.
"What the hell am I doing?" She yelled back, "What the hell are you doing?"
"I was putting my stuff away in my locker," he told her, "Before you rudely slammed it shut, you could've trapped my fingers in the door, you know."
"Like I give a damn," she remarked cynically, "What's your deal?"
"I could ask you the same thing," he responded as he punched in his locker combination and opened up his locker again, "It's not my fault you're the type of person who becomes jealous easily."
"I am not jealous," she scoffed, "I am angry of the fact that you're here. You're trying to jeopardise our chances of winning the National's this year, aren't you?"
"Yeah," he replied sarcastically, "And that's why I transferred from Dalton Academy to this place because I wanted to jeopardise your chances of winning. Hate to tell you this, Barbara Streisand, but not everything is about you and your beau over there."
"I'm onto you," she snarled, "You're trying to ruin my chances of getting into Nyada."
"You uncovered my master plan," he responded sarcastically again, "That's why I transferred so that I could ruin everything for poor little Rachel Berry, because everything is so bad for her." He rolled his eyes and shook his head, "You need a reality check, Berry, because not everything is about you. The world doesn't revolve around you." He slammed his locker door shut and shoved his books into his backpack. "And now that I'm here," he continued as he zipped up his backpack and threw it over his shoulder and looked at her, "I'm gonna make sure that everybody toughens up now and not tip toe around you like they always have done. Have a good day." He raised his eyebrows quickly at her and brushed passed her as he made his way down the hallway towards his next class.
Rachel stood in the same spot with her mouth wide open in shock. Nobody other than Santana had ever spoke to her like that before. Finn walked up to her quickly and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Hey," he said softly, "Are you okay?"
"If he thinks that he can ruin my chances of getting into Nyada," she responded, "Then he's got another thing coming because nobody takes the limelight away from Rachel Berry and stops my chances of living my dream as an actress on Broadway." She stomped her foot on the ground once more and stomped her way down the hallway.
It was near the end of the school day and Sebastian was walking down the school hallway as he headed towards his next class. Santana walked out of the classroom with Brittany with her hands placed on her hips as she entered the hallway, she stopped in her tracks when she noticed Sebastian walking down the left hand side of the corridor holding his backpack over one shoulder.
"I'll meet you in next lesson," she told Brittany before she headed towards Sebastian, she picked up her pace to meet him. She finally reached him and reached upwards to tap on his shoulder causing him to stop and turn around to face her.
"Hey, Santana," he smiled, "What's up?"
"Did you join the New Directions to get me back?" She asked him curiously.
"No," he replied, "I joined because I want to be a part of the Glee Club. I am a performer remember."
"You're a liar," she nodded with hint of a smirk on her face.
"Are you questioning my honour?" He questioned her, "Because I thought you knew that I loved to perform."
"Cut the crap, Sebastian," she replied as she took a step towards him, "You joined the New Directions to get me, admit it."
He leaned towards her slightly, "Why would I admit to something that wasn't true?" He whispered, "Because you know me, I always tell the truth, no matter how harsh it is."
"Because you're a liar," she told him, "I know you, and I know that the only reason why you joined this school was to be with me. You admitted it to me earlier."
"Yeah, I admit that," he admitted, "But that doesn't mean that I joined the New Directions to get you back. I don't do everything for you, I do do something's for me too, you know."
"We're not getting back together, Sebastian," she informed him, "I'm with Puck now and I'm happy with him."
"You've been with him since the weekend," he blurted out, "How can you be happy with somebody who you've only been with for three days?"
"Are you jealous?" She asked him.
"Crazy jealous," he admitted, "He has you and I don't." He shrugged, "Why wouldn't I be jealous?"
"So," she asked him, "What makes you think I'm gonna believe you about joining the New Directions for you?"
"Believe what you want to believe," he told her, "But I know that I'm joining it for me. You don't have to believe what I tell you but I know that I'm telling the truth and that's all that matters to me."
"Whatever," she shrugged.
"Now," he continued, "I have to get to class or are you think I'm lying about that too?"
"No," she responded by shaking her head.
"Good," he replied as he turned around to face the way he was walking earlier but turned back around to face her once more, "But before I go, I have to tell you something."
"Oh yeah," she replied cynically as she folded her arms across her chest, "And what's that?"
"You might be happy with him now," he told her, "But that doesn't mean that I'm gonna stop fighting for you because you know that this summer that you spent with me is the best summer that you've ever experienced and you can't deny it."
He again turned back on his heels and headed down the hallway and turned around the corner of the hallway as he headed towards his classroom. Santana stood in the same spot and smiled to herself knowing that what he'd said was the truth, she did have fun over the summer with him and he was right, she was happy with Puck now but will it be the same as it was with Sebastian. But she shouldn't be comparing him to Sebastian, she's with Puck now and that's all that mattered.
Her thoughts were broken when she felt an arm wrap around her shoulder, jolting slightly she glanced to the side to notice her boyfriend Puck standing beside her with his arm around her.
"Hey," he asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," she replied nodding her head, "You just caught me off guard, I was just thinking."
"About what?" He asked her curiously.
"It doesn't matter," she responded by shaking her head, "Come on, walk me to class."
"Of course," he smiled and leant down to her and shared a soft peck on the lips. Pulling away from her they then both started to walk and head down the corridor towards her next class. She carried on thinking about Sebastian and the summer and what he'd said to her, but she shook her head once more shaking the thoughts out of her head. She couldn't afford to think that way, she couldn't afford to think that way about any other guy, she was with Puck now and that's the only guy that she should be thinking about. She glanced up at Puck and gave him a quick smile before looking back straight ahead and glaring at people who were looking at her and giggling with their friends.
School had finished and Sebastian was sitting in the Lima Bean with his usual cup of coffee in his hand whilst he read through Charles Dicken's Great Expectations for an English Literature assignment he was set on his first day of school. He took a sip of his coffee through the slit in the lid of the cardboard coffee cup and then placed it back down on the table as he carried on reading through the book.
Rachel Berry walked through the door whilst holding linking onto one of her closest friends and also a member of the New Directions, Mercedes Jones.
"I cannot believe he would say that to me," Rachel whined, "I mean, why would he be so rude about me like that?"
"Yeah, he was being rude," Mercedes told her, "But when you think about it, he was just telling the truth at the same time."
"Look," Rachel replied placing her hand on her chest, "I'm sorry if I care about my career but I'm a senior now and I have to think about the future. I'm going to Nyada in September where I gonna become a star on Broadway and be like Ms Barbra Streisand."
"Don't I know it," Mercedes responded as she rolled her eyes.
"He has some nerve," Rachel continued, "It's like he can think that he can just come to this school and tell me and everybody else what to do."
"I don't mean to sound as if I'm standing up for him," Mercedes replied, "But you're the only person that he's confronted. You're the only person he's said something to. He hasn't said anything to me or anybody else, just you."
"And Finn," she added, "He was rude to Finn too."
"Fine," Mercedes groaned, "He was rude to Finn too but that doesn't mean that he's coming to this school to control us. Maybe he just wanted a change."
Glancing to the side, Rachel noticed him sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in his hand as he took another sip of his steaming hot coffee whilst reading The Great Expectations. Rachel stomped her foot on the ground before turning on her heels and heading over to him.
"Rachel?" Mercedes called, "What are you doing?" And as she noticed him sitting at his table, "Oh no," she exclaimed, "You are not gonna be causing a scene in front of everybody here."
Mercedes then made her way over to the both of them. Rachel finally reached him and stood beside him with her hands on her hips as she tapped her foot on the floor. Glancing down at the ground and noticing her black loafers tapping on the floor he glanced back up at his book.
"What do you want, Berry?" He asked her without looking up from his book.
"How did you know that it was me?" She asked harshly, "You didn't even look up to see that it was me."
"Because nobody else is sane enough to wear those shoes," he replied harshly.
"You're so rude," she scoffed, "You cannot get away with speaking to me like that."
"Because nobody else other than Santana has spoke to you that way before?" He replied, "Yeah, I'm trembling in my sneakers."
Finally reaching up to her, Mercedes placed her hand on her arm, "Come on, Rachel," she told her, "We should go and grab ourselves a cup of coffee, I mean, that's what we came here for in the first place."
"No," she shrugged her hand off her arm, "I'm not leaving until I've finally told him everything."
Dropping his book down on the table before turning his body to face her and glancing up at her. "Look, Streisand," he spoke, "You can stand there all you want but you're gonna win. You think that you can win everything because everybody is too scared to tell you the truth, well guess what, I'm not. So, why don't you just listen to Mercedes here and go because you aint gonna win. I'll make sure of it."
"This aint over," Rachel responded as she pointed in his face.
"Yeah, it is," he nodded smugly as he turned back to his book and carried on reading through it. Rachel stomped her foot on the floor again like a spoilt child as she stormed over to the counter of the Lima Bean whilst Mercedes still stood in the same place. "You can thank me later," he told her without looking up from the book. Mercedes shook her head with a 'you're unbelievable' smile on her face before turning on her heels and heading over Rachel who stood in the queue with her arms folded across her chest and her lips pouting because she didn't get her own way for a change. Sebastian smirked to himself before gathering all of his stuff together and closing the book with one hand, he shoved all of his things together in his backpack, he zipped it shoulder and flung one of the straps over his left shoulder, he turned on his heels and headed towards the door, as he reached towards the door he glanced over at both Mercedes and Rachel who were still standing in the queue. Rachel was facing forward whereas Mercedes glanced to the side and looked at Sebastian who mouthed, "You're welcome," before he made his way through the main entrance of the Lima Bean, this caused Mercedes to smirk to herself because she knew that for once Sebastian had said something that the rest of the class couldn't say to her which would cause her to be upset. Sebastian didn't care and had always wanted to say something to her, more than he already had and being a member of the New Directions, he knew that he could do it more than ever.
