Sage Miller
I ran one hand through my hair. I couldn't believe they were making me do this.
They're being so cruel and inconsiderate right now.
Sure I admit that in the past two weeks I've been unbearable but it wasn't on purpose. I was dealing with some deep shit.
"Come on guys." I said and put both hands on my hips. "Sebastian?"
I called him but he flipped me and puffed some smoke.
"You want our forgiveness. Then do the chicken dance." Connor said mischievously.
I'll get him for this. I will.
"Anything but that. I'll do anything but that." I told him but he smirked.
"Unfortunately we want that." Connor said.
"You. You want that." I pointed an accusation finger at him because I know Sebastian couldn't care any less.
"Wrong." Connor said. "Sebastian and I talked. We want this."
I would never embarrassed myself like that. They wanted me to do the chicken dance at the football pitch today during lunch.
That's just cruelty.
Never, my pride won't allow me too. Kate and her cheerleading squad will be there. People would be sitting on the bleachers.
So no, no way. I'm not doing it.
I groaned when I realised what I'm about to say was ridiculous.
I was tired of fighting with them and I owed them an apology but what they asked of me was just diabolical.
"You can drive my car." I murmured low as a last resort to get them to stop.
Just as the words left my lips I wished I have never said them. I prayed that my murmur was low enough for them to not have heard but my prayer never worked.
Its never answers.
"Really?" Connor asked excitedly.
That news finally got Sebastian off his joint.
He threw it down and stomped on it.
"Don't bullshit me Sage." Sebastian warned joining us.
"I'm not." I grunted. "You get to drive my car, I don't do the chicken dance."
Only those two know how much of a fucking big deal letting someone else drive my car was. Never had I let anyone drive my car. Never.
Except that time I was going to New York.
"Fuck yeah." Sebastian hollered. "Give me the fucking keys. I'm going first."
Never have I regretted a decision more than that when I saw Sebastian's face.
His blank face was lit up and covered with a huge smirk.
Never had I wished Sebastian was stone face more than now.
"Nah uh. I'm going first." Connor argued. "You wouldn't even get to drive it if it weren't for me."
"I call dibs." Sebastian snatched the keys from me and ran.
"I. I.... I feel like cussing at you." Connor stammered calling after him.
So that's how we spent the rest of the lunch break and fifth period.
Unfortunately it was a must to attend sixth period because we are suppose to get a new project or assignment.
"Where's the party tonight?" I asked both Connor and Sebastian.
Sebastian was sitting on my right and Connor was in front of me.
"I don't know. I heard Marcus saying he's having one on Thursday." Connor answered and continued to focus.
"There's no party dipshit. It's a fucking Monday." Sebastian told me and I facepalmed myself.
"Fuck. I forgot. Damn." I almost yelled catching Mr Hurley's attention.
He looked around for the source of the noise but didn't see anything. I acted as if I was too deep taking notes.
"Keep it down and focus people." He said and went back to lecturing.
"I don't care if it's a Monday. I'm getting drunk today. Whether I go to a party or I got to a club but I'm getting drunk today." I told both of them when I was sure the teacher wasn't paying attention.
"I can't argue with that. I want to get drunk too." Connor comment.
"So where are we getting drunk? A club or your house?" Sebastian and before I could answer the teacher busted us.
More like busted Sebastian.
"Wilder, do you wanna teach this class?" Mr Hurley asked annoyed.
"No sir, you're doing a very fantastic job not boring us to death." Sebastian said sarcastically shocking everyone.
I'm sure half the class have never heard his voice. He's that quiet and honestly no one bothers him.
They're afraid because they know he's an animal.
Mr Hurley gaped at Sebastian's bold answer. Half the class snickers and the other half are stuck up bitches who thought their better.
"Sebastian Wilder, do you want detention right now?" He shouted at him.
I looked over at Sebastian and he rolled his eyes a bit.
"Oh no please don't." He faked cried. Mind you that he was sarcastic as hell.
Before Mr Hurley could answer and dish out a detention the bell rang and everyone was on there feet ready to end the torture that is Chemistry.
"The due date is in three weeks from today. Don't forget." Sebastian was all forgotten as he yelled to the student rushing out of the class.
Or so we thought.
"Sebastian, I'm not done with you. Come back here." He said but no one paid him any attention.
"I'm talking to you." He shouted but we were already on the threshold.
"Catch me next class Mr H." Sebastian called after him.
Connor and I laughed following Sebastian.
We didn't get to hear Mr H's response because of the laughter.
I didn't pay mind to Kate who was standing outside my classroom, as told.
I pasted her and she followed close behind us. I could feel her behind me.
"You're quite happy today." Connor commented.
"It's a lovely fucking day." Sebastian said.
"Who did you fuck last night?" I asked crudely.
Sebastian Wilder doesn't just get happy and cheery. He's not that person. He has one mood 99% of the time. And that mood is the impassive.
"Spill the tea." Connor joined me.
"Chill. It's not that. Can't I just wake up happy?" Sebastian asked us.
Both Connor and I looked at each other then back at him.
"No." We answered at the same time.
"Narh." I breathed out a laugh and shook my head.
"Not impossible." Connor followed.
"I'm having a good fucking day and if you douchebags don't like that answer then fuck off." He said basically proving us correct that last night he got some good pussy.
Sebastian's pinged and he took it out and read the messege and his whole mood and demour changed.
I was about to ask him what was that about when he made eye contact with me telling me we'll talk later.
I obviously interpreted that and immediately my mind went to gang business.
And Connor was so oblivious to the whole exchange.
The warning bell chose that time to right.
"Okay guys. See you at practice." I told both of them since we didn't have class together for the rest of the day.
"I won't be watching today. I'm meeting someone after school." He said and I smirked.
"Hoooo someone's got a date." I teased him and he blushed just a bit.
"Shut up Sage. It's not date." He denied it and looked away. "And I'm going to class."
"Definitely a date." I told him.
"Oh whatever Sage." He said and walked away.
I realised how Sebastian didn't contribute anything to the conversation.
Which was normal but he didn't pay mind to it too and that wasn't normal. Even if he doesn't say much he always listen and pay mind.
I wondered what that message said that's worrying him this much.
They both left to go their classes and just then I realised that Kate's eyes followed Connor and I snapped.
"What the fuck are you looking at?" I spat and he jumped.
"What?" She stammered but I had caught her red handed.
"What the fuck were you looking at?" This time I said slowly but the venom was very much present.
"Nothing." She stuttered so fucking.
"Do you wanna fuck him too?" I whispered threatening her.
"What...No." She answered.
"Then why were you looking at him?" I took a step towards her just as the bell rang.
Students ran past us and I didn't make any movement to go anywhere.
"I'm sorry." She cried out. She was close to crying.
I could tell because her eyes were glossy.
"Why the fuck would you do that? Do you want me to fucking hurt You? I told to never look at another man. I fucking told you. Why won't you fucking listen. Wasn't last time not enough for you?" I asked her.
"I'm sorry Sage. I'll never do it again. Sorry." She cried out begging me not to hurt her.
"You either look at me or look at the floor. Got it." I told her firmly.
"Yes I do." She said.
There was no one left on the hallway.
"Good, now wipe your tears and go to class." I told her and she nodded.
Two minutes later we both walked in class hand in hand. The other hand was holding her bag.
"You're late." Ms Anne announced as soon as we walked in.
Kate was looking at her shoes like I told her.
Good girl. I mentally praised with satisfaction.
"Sorry ma'am my girlfriend was feeling a bit out of the ordinary." I told her as apologetically as I could be.
