Chapter 9 | sketchbook

Spring 13

It was the egg hunt.

Y/n was excited, but she couldn't help but feel a little anxious as she was never big on luck.

Also considering she was a huge airhead, there was a large chance she'd embarrass herself.

It was a little after 8:40 and Y/n had already finished all the rough work she did at the farm.

While waiting for the festivals start, she decided to sketch a little in a small drawing book, it was usually kept in her front overalls pocket.

_______________________________

"Y/n! Over here!" Abigail called, Y/n glanced through the colourful decorations as she passed by town square.

"Hey!" She grinned, she nearly tripped over her own feet on the way.

"You participating in the egg hunt?" She asks, Abigail grinned with a fierce glow to her eyes.

"Oh yeah, I definitely am, you?" She asked, cocking a brow up.

Y/n noticed the sudden change in her demeanour and smirked softly at the purple haired female.

"Mm maybe.. don't know if I uh.. qualify really" Y/n said, glancing down to her sneakers.

They were marked with drawings and writing of history from high school when Grace, Zen and her were to feel bored.

"Well then, I wish you luck!" Abigails smile softened, her eyes coincidentally falling upon the small sketchbook hidden in the front pocket of Y/n's overalls.

"Hey, you can draw?" Her eyes glowed, eager to see the drawings Y/n was able to conjure with the work of her hands.

"Oh uh.. I guess? More like I doodle, not a lot anymore but I used to draw a lot back when I was younger" Y/n smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck, she refrained herself from pulling at the hairs on her skull as it had become a nervous habit.

It was harder than she thought, attempting to banish the habit..

Of course, considering it'd been there since she was in middle school.

"Could I see?" Abigail asked, a small pout on her face.

Y/n grinned and handed it over, desperate to busy her hands with something other than the nape of her neck.

'Preoccupy with something else, stupid hands..'

Y/n thought with a mental scowl, she began playing with a stray piece of string from her overalls.

She listened to Abby compliment her sketches, staring at the poorly drawn middle finger Zen had directed to her on the white soles of her shoes.

Y/n tuned back in when Abby gasped softly, her shoulders jerked up when realizing what Abigail had just seen.

A sketch of the grape, small describing notes on the side to remember her by.

"Aww y/n! That's so sweet!" Abby clutched at her heart when reading 'Gorgeous mf'.

"ABBY!" Y/n yelled out, her face now burning hot with embarrassment, she'd tried reaching for the sketchbook but Abby had swerved away quick enough to have Y/n miss.

Abigail turned the page to a drawing of Sam.

"Sam! How the fuck do I draw this mans' hair, never mind, just draw Goku/Super Saiyan"

"A golden retriever?????"

Abby recited the notes even further as Y/n chased her around Sam and Sebastian, the boys now interested in whatever the two had been talking previously about.

Y/n was mortified, at that point there was no turning back.

They'd reach Sebastian's page at some point and Y/n would've never left her farm for the rest of the season.

Instead of running back to the farm, when hearing Abby yell out Sebastian's name, Y/n out of panic, hid behind the tree the trio were standing by.

She peeked to the three as the atmosphere grew silent, hiding herself in her shirt after remembering the notes that were left on his page.

'His eyes are pretty'

'I could probably fall for him just from his laugh if I was still 16'

'Guy likes frogs, help me this dude is so cool'

Y/n looked back anxiously before realizing Sebastian hadn't been listening, he was staring down at his shoes, not a care for the sketchbook to be seen.

She sighed in relief and closed her eyes, hoping to calm her nerves from the embarrassment.

"Hey Sebastian your in here!"

Seb looked up in surprise, he had to admit he was a little bummed he didn't have a page, he wanted to see what type of things Y/n had to say about him now.

He also didn't wanna intrude on Y/n's privacy as Sam and Abigail seemed to, as tempting as it was.

Before he could say anything, Abby shoved the sketchbook into his face and he grabbed it out of her hands irritably.

He was gonna hand it back to Y/n but failed to keep his eyes away from the gorgeously drawn sketch of him.

Y/n made him look amazing and Sebastian began to wonder if he was seen that way from her perspective.

Not only did he notice the sketch but he'd caught glance of the notes put aside the drawing.

'His eyes are pretty'

'I could probably fall for him just from his laugh if I was still 16'

'Guy likes frogs, help me this dude is so cool'

Sebastian felt his cheeks warm.

She would've fallen for him if she was till 16, Huh?

In a daze, Sebastian read the lines over and over again, an unknown feeling of confidence falling over his usual facade.

"His eyes are pretty, I could probably fall for him just from his laugh if I was still 16" Abby began reading the sentences out loud and Sebastian grew into a panic, shoving the textbook into her arms and turning away with red cheeks.

"Why is Sebastians page so nice!?" Sam whines, his posture now hunched over and he pouted towards Y/n.

She stayed quiet, Sebastian stared at her   shadowed figure from behind the tree.

He chuckled softly before walking over to her side and plopping down next to her.

She jumps in surprise, staring at him.

Her face was painfully blushed and terrified of the boy next to her.

Sebastian nearly laughed at her expression.

Avoiding her gaze, Sebastian shoved his hands into his pockets, staring down at higher shoes.

"I think you have pretty eyes too"

Sebastian could tell by the obvious blush that he'd accidentally hit her a little too hard in the heart.

"Thanks.." she muttered, fingers fidgeting with themselves.

Yup, he definitely hit a spot...

"Y-Your laugh is also.. uh.. yeah.." His cheeks reddened as his sentence faltered with his confidence.

What the hell was he even trying to say?

God Sebastian, why do you always have to be such a failure-

"It's time for the highlight of today's festivities... The annual spring egg hunt!"
