I wasn't sure what to expect the next day as I stood at the bus stop, I had no idea what Sebastian had in mind when he said, "I'll make it up to you." The bus came and I got on, my heart pounding as I found the same messy brunet sitting in the same spot at the back of the bus. I slowly made my way down the aisle worried that maybe he would just pounce on me right there, but he didn't he just sat slouching in his seat listening to his music. I felt relieved as I sat down next to Kurt who could have bored holes in Sebastian's head by the way he was staring at it.
"Looks like I got lucky." I said, my heartbeat slowing down to a healthier rhythm.
"He's planning something." Kurt hissed, crossing his arms.
"Maybe he felt bad about what he did yesterday." I suggested, I hadn't told Kurt, or really anyone about what happened in the auditorium, but I was mostly sure that Sebastian had be sorry and him not teasing me at all, seemed a good way of making it up to him.
"No way, he doesn't have a heart, last year he almost blinded Blaine and he wasn't even a little bit sorry." Kurt growled at the thought of Blaine getting hurt.
Was he really just pulling my leg? Was Sebastian just pretending to be sorry or something? And if so what was he hoping to get out of doing that?
"Should we go to the counselor to get you out of that class?" Kurt asked, brining me out of my thought process.
"I'm sorry, what?' I asked, not hearing the beginning of that.
"The class you're in with Sebastian, should we try to get you out of it?" Kurt restated.
I thought about it, maybe that was a good idea; I should probably avoid Sebastian every way I could…however… I couldn't explain why, but something was pulling me to Sebastian, like some sort of invisible tether that kept us connected and it wasn't in a, 'I love you and want to run away with you and never leave your side' way , I'm not sure what it was, but it defiantly not that. I don't even know why I would feel that way about someone like him. I hadn't even known him for a whole day, especially since throughout most of that day he had made me feel like crap, but still. I couldn't shake that feeling that no matter what I did the universe would just end up throwing him and me together.
I hadn't realized it, but I had been staring at Sebastian all the while I was thinking, it wasn't until he spotted me and gave me a little wink that I quickly looked away only to find Kurt staring at me weirdly.
"What?" I squeaked what had I done to get a look like that from my angel?
"You've been staring at Sebastian for like 5 straight minutes and you weren't even glaring." Kurt said in unbelief, him must've thought that I was staring at the brunet because I liked him.
"No,no, it just I was thinking, I didn't even know I was staring at him!" I rambled off franticly, hands moving in odd and random gestures.
"So have you decided what to do?" My angel asked, taking my explanation.
"I think… I'll stay in that class." I said playing with a rip on the spine of my textbook that was in my lap.
"WHAT!? Are you insane!?" Kurt practically screamed so loud I thought the whole neighborhood could hear.
"Hey Hummel, shut your face gash. What Blondie decides is up to him. That's why it's called a decision." Sebastian spat out, it kind of startled me to hear him talking.
"Sebastian stay out of this, it has nothing to do with you." Kurt growled, shooting him one of this now famous dirty looks.
"From what I've heard it does and you should know that I won't lay a finger on Blondie here." Sebastian said, fed up with Kurt always biting his head off.
"You little eavesdropper!" Kurt shouted.
"Hey, when have I ever respected anyone's privacy? I'm not a delinquent for nothing." Sebastian said, giving Kurt the finger once more.
Kurt huffed back into his seat, "I need to ask Blaine to drive us to school so we don't have to listen to the Lima loser up there."
I didn't say anything; I just sat there staring at the back of the seat in front of us.
"Are you sure that you're going to be okay?" Kurt asked in a low whisper, probably so Sebastian wouldn't be able to hear him.
"Yes, I-"I was going to say that I trusted Sebastian, but I stopped. Wait, I don't really trust him do I? No, I was just going to say that to make Kurt not worry, there's no way that I would ever trust someone like him.
We got off the bus and just like yesterday Kurt hurried me off the bus before Sebastian could get close enough. We met up with Blaine where Kurt complained that Blaine had not beaten up Sebastian like he said; all conflict was solved with a simple kiss. I wondered what it was like to kiss someone, I bet Sebastian…Wait, why was I thinking about Sebastian kissing me? Why was I thinking about kissing Sebastian as all? What's wrong with me? The boy who tormented me, made me cry was the same boy I was imagining walking down the hall with hand in hand and sharing goodbye kisses with as we left for our different classes. Was it just because he said sorry? Or did it have to do with how he held me yesterday?
Before I had to explain to Blaine and Kurt why I was turning red I said goodbye and made my way to math class. I was half way there before I felt someone slip a finger into my belt loop and stop me from walking. As I looked behind me, my heart jumped out of my chest.
There I was face to face with Sebastian Smythe, his face just inches away from mine, kissing distance even. Oh why did I have to think about kissing before this happened? I let out a small squeak in surprise, which caused Sebastian to raise one pierce eyebrow.
"Calm down Blondie, I'm not going to hurt you. Now come with me." He whispered in my ear, I felt a tingling sensation flow down my spine.
"What? Where are we going?" I asked swallowing hard.
"Come with me and you'll see." I chuckled, his breath tickling my ear.
He pulled me by my belt loop, until I remembered that I could walk on my own, we were half way to an exit when the bell rang.
"Sebastian we have to go to class!" I said, I have not been late of a class in my whole life, so this was almost making me have a panic attack.
"We're skipping." He said nonchalantly, opening the door for me, waiting me to go outside.
"What! I can't just skip class! I've never missed a single day in my life! Can't you do this another time?" I complained, almost hyperventilating that the fact is that I was already late.
"No. I don't know where you live and the other times I would never be able to pry you from Hummel's talons. Now stop being a bi-"Sebastian was about to call me a name, but corrected himself, "Just come on."
I was about to protest one more time, but Sebastian grabbed me by the belt loop once more, pulling me outside with him, I whined a little as we made our way through the parking lot, stopping next to a kind of an old, rusty beat up car that had duck tape all over it.
"Is that your car?" I asked, it looked like something he would drive.
"Blondie, if I had a car do you think I would take the bus to school?" He asked, giving me a look that was a mix of snarky and surprise that I was that stupid.
"Then who's car it that?" I asked, still unsure why we were still standing next to it.
Sebastian riffled through his bag that seemed like some rats had chewed on it. He then pulled out a coat hanger, at first in confused me, but then I put two and two together.
"You're not going to break into that car are you?!" I blurted out; I couldn't believe this was happening.
He didn't say anything, he just worked to unlock the car, it only took him about a minute.
"I didn't get sent to juvie for nothing sweet cheeks" Sebastian said winking, as if that was supposed to some awesome pick up line.
My eyes about popped out of my head. Juvie! Oh great now I was stuck out here in the parking lot with this lunatic who was now very dangerous. I should've listened to Kurt.
"Well darling get in." He said motioning with his head for me to get in the passenger's side.
"But!" I protested, we could just steal a car!
"Don't worry we'll have it back by the end of the day." Sebastian said rolling his beautiful green eyes.
I really don't know why I got in, I should've turned and ran, screaming at the top of my lungs and hope that someone saved me before Sebastian could get to me, but I did. I closed my door and sat there nervously as Sebastian worked trying to hot wire the car, he let out a few curses as he was shocked a few times; he obviously hadn't done this in a while. Finally the engine roared to life and a look of satisfaction spread across his face.
"Alright let's go." He said, pulling quickly out of the parking space before I had even gotten my seatbelt on.
It was worse than I had imagined, he drove way to fast and would only stop at red lights when I yelled at him and by yelling at him I mean screaming in terror and when he would stop, he'd slam on the breaks, after the last 4 times I learned to slam myself against the back of my chair so I wouldn't get whiplash. I was so worried about his driving that I hadn't paid any attention to where we were going. It wasn't until I could see nothing but trees that I began to get worried.
"Where are we?" I asked eyes wide.
"Relax we're still in Ohio." Sebastian said, patting my knee to which I jumped about five feet in the air.
He smiled at this reaction and not in an 'aw you're so cute way', in a dirtier way. What on earth was I doing? We then stopped and he got out of the car, I was scared for a little while thinking that maybe he had brought me here to kill me or do something else…..
A knock on my window almost made my heart fail.
"Hey Blondie get out, you gotta see this." Sebastian said, reaching into his back pocket to pull out a cigarette.
I got out slowly, I was amazed by what I saw there was a beautiful lake with crystal clear water, it looked so peaceful and welcoming. I looked over to Sebastian who was lighting up.
"Those are bad for you." I said, that was the only think that I could think to say.
"No really?" Sebastian said raising his eyebrows; he was being so sarcastic it hurt.
"Go on." He said after a few minutes of silence.
I looked at his questioningly.
"Go check it out, I know you want to." Sebastian explained, motioning to the lake.
I made my way down as Sebastian just sat on the hood of the car smoking. I stood at the edge of the water a smile creeping its way onto my face; it's been a long time since I'd seen a body of water. When I lived in New York it was nothing but tall buildings, pavement and the occasional fountain.
I then found myself face first into the water, I could hear the laughter of a teenage boy,I flipped myself over and propped myself onto my elbows, looking up to see Sebastian's face red with laughter.
"You bully!" I gasped, whipping so water and dirt from my eye.
"Yeah, I am." He chuckled looking down at me, the cigarette still between his lips.
I took a hand and splashed some water up and it hit him square in the face, putting out that dastardly thing.
"Oh you whore! Do you know how much these cost?" He yelled, taking the wet cigarette from his mouth and throwing in on the ground.
This sudden outburst frightened me, I scooted away from him, eyes big, heart pounding.
"Aw crap." Sebastian exclaimed after realizing what he just did, "Baby I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I'm not mad."
He crouched down in front of me so we were eye level. I was still shaking a bit; I was never been good with anger.
"And just when you started to get comfortable with me, I go a blow it." He sighed, running his hand through his hair.
He then looked right at me with those green eyes that looked like someone took emeralds and screwed them into Sebastian's face. He took a hand and placed it on my ankle, he didn't grab it or anything, he just simply put it there to show me that he was not going to hurt me. He then slid it up to my calf, I began to squirm a little and Sebastian almost took his hand away, but decided to wait as he slid it up more and was now on my knee. I now had no idea what Sebastian was thinking as the hand found its way to my thigh, sliding it up farther and farther until,
"Stop." I breathed out and Sebastian immediately took his hand away, putting it up in the air.
"See." He said keeping eye contact with me, "I won't do anything you're not comfortable with."
My heart skipped a beat, I hadn't expected this from him, to tell you the truth I didn't think he was actually going to stop and things were going to get out of hand, but I was wrong.
I got up wobbling a little; Sebastian stood up and grabbed my forearm to help steady me. I blinked a few times.
"Are you okay?" He asked a little concerned.
"Yeah, I've just got low blood pressure and sometimes when I get up too fast I get dizzy." I explained as he led me by the hand over to the car.
"Then let's get some food into you." He said, letting go of my hand and getting into the driver's side.
"Sebastian, low blood pressure is not the same thing as low blood sugar." I said, getting into the passenger's side.
"Well, I'm hungry so." He said starting the car.
He handed his leather jacket to me; I hadn't even noticed he took it off. He didn't tell me to put it on or anything, but I did anyway, I was kind of cold from being soaked. It didn't smell of that much smoke as I had thought actually it kind smelled good.
We stopped at Jack-in-the –box on the way to school, Sebastian rolling his eyes at me when I told him I was a vegetarian and he muttered something about that under his breath as he ordered a burger for him and a salad for me.
When we got back to school it was over. I hadn't thought that we were gone that long. We parked the car back were we found it and Sebastian deposed of our trash and we parted ways, him going to detention and me to the bus, where I had to come up with an excuse for why I wasn't at lunch.
On the way Kurt was talking to me about something, I don't remember what it was, I was too busy thinking about Sebastian and how maybe he wasn't so bad.
Me: NOT!
