-3- Fiery.

-I'll take you to the moon.

THE GIRLS round the table gasped, Sofia sighed heavily. "I'm telling you girls that's exactly what I saw."

"Hm, what did you see Sofi?" Sam asked curiously.

The girls veered around to see Elliot and Sam towering over them. Sofia beamed, "Have a seat boys, I'm sure you'd love to hear this." They sat.

Sofia began, "So yesterday I forgot my textbooks in my locker so I went back to get them as I walked by the boys' locker room. I heard someone pleading. When I peeked I saw Sean, Trey and Sebastian."

Elliot lifted an eyebrow, he was interested.

There was a brief silence before Sofia spoke again. "I thought it was just a minor argument but when I was about to leave, I heard Sean yelling. When I looked he was clenching Trey's neck like he meant to kill him."

She continued, "Then Sebastian tried to pull Sean off Trey, but he was not successful. Sean kept on yelling at Trey—"

Jake interrupted, "What were they yelling about?"

Sofia paused for a moment, "I couldn't make sense of it. If I had gone any closer surely Sebastian would have seen me since he was nearest to the door."

"Go on," Elliot muttered.

Sofia smiled, "Sean eventually let Trey go, and Sebastian suggested they leave. Then I heard someone crying, I wanted to see who it was but they were moving closer to the door. I certainly think Sebastian was the one in tears."

Some of the girls at the table nodded, agreeing with Sofia.

Elliot was sceptical. "Why do you think it was Sebastian crying?"

Sofia folded her arms, "Because he's the captain, they've got this huge game coming up and he's probably scared the team is falling apart, I'm certain it was Sebastian."

Elliot arched a brow, he was in thought. So the football team was having problems, Mindy had also mentioned something of it but since Sam said the guys were cool he didn't think too much of it since then.

Although he had his doubts that Sebastian was the one crying, He found Sofia's reasoning to be valid as well. He knew how much football meant to Sebastian. 

Snapping back to reality, Elliot noticed the gist wasn't about the football team anymore but about the drama club, since he and Sam weren't familiar with anyone in the drama team, they went away.

Sam equally expressed doubts about Sebastian being the one in tears.

With his bag swung over his back Elliot halted on the pavement. He heard someone call his name with anger, the voice was oddly familiar and he instantly knew who it was.

"Elliot!!!" A husky voice roared.

He turned around, "What do you want Sebastian?" He said dryly.

Sebastian seethed, "You know Elliot I try as much as possible to make sure there's less drama between us and be civil—"

Elliot laughed hysterically, "Never thought I'd see—"

Sebastian interjected, and he spat. "Just shut up!" He pointed at him, "I've known you to be vindictive but spreading rumours about me and the football team is a new low for you—"

Elliot was bewildered. "What nonsense are you rambling about? Is your sight that affected that you can't see the greatness in front of you Sebastian? I'm Elliot, not Trey or anyone on your team."

Sebastian scoffed in disbelief, "You're so despicable, you're pretending like you don't know?"

Elliot retorted, his eyes challenging. "Look idiot, I don't know what you're yelling about, I could care less about you or your ball team. Now run along, just seeing your face makes me sick."

Sebastian gave a weird chuckle, "Of course, I should have you were going to be fake like you always are. I realise standing here talking to you is a waste of time, you are not worth my time."

Elliot rolled his eyes, "You fool, I don't even watch your games. Who wants to watch a couple of idiots running around the field?"

Sebastian points at himself, "Well this idiot is asking you and your girlfriends to keep his name out of your mouths, I don't like getting angry Elliot don't push it."

Sebastian walked off, and Elliot hissed. He fumed his whole walk home.

"What a fool," He seethed, as he moved about his room.

He was agitated, "He's so stupid!! Who does he think he is? I hope your stupid team never make it to finals then I would be so happy to see your dreams burn like they should."

"Harder," Tyler yelled.

He nodded, "Yes, that's right!"

"Good stance Seb!" He noted.

Sebastian was unleashing his anger in the gym, he was boxing with his cousin Tyler. Nearly practising for half an hour, they stopped to drink some water.

"He's a Scott right?"

Sebastian nodded.

"I think Miles and I went to school with his brother or is it his cousin?" Tyler thought a bit.

He shrugged, "Can't remember. Anyway just don't let him get to you."

Sebastian groaned, "I do try to stay away from him, but the dude keeps pushing."

Tyler rose to his feet, "Well they say when someone pushes you at some point you have to push back."

He pointed at Sebastian, "If you're gonna push back, don't do it on school premises or avoid him."

Tyler said seriously, "You get what I'm saying right?"

Sebastian nodded fiercely, "Yeah I do. It's always like he wants me to get angry, his face is irritating. He's always smug about everything, he's incredibly conceited. He lets his popularity get to his head."

Tyler sighed, "The kid sure sounds pesky, but I say you let it go and don't let that kid get to you, Sebastian. There are a lot of people like him out there and you're just not gonna let them get to you."

Tyler chuckled jumping and fainting blows at Sebastian. "Now if only he could piss you off every day, so you could put this much energy into your sessions."

Sebastian scowled, and Tyler laughed.

Tyler grinned, "No really it's funny to see you all fired up, you rarely show this side of yourself. You're always so reserved and collected, this side of you is quite refreshing."
