 ───❝Sebastian.❞**

Sebastian looked up from the sink at the mention of his name, his face drenched in cold water, and hands holding onto the sides of the sink. Turning his head to the side to find one of the kids from the bunch standing at the entrance of the male student's washroom. He knew who the other was. Alexsei. The much calmer and more reasonable one of the group. 

"What?"**

His calm response, even when not intended seemed cold to the other. Sebastian quickly caught onto it, seeing how the male's expression grew even more nervous. He was used to always giving out strict and cold responses, so even when he tried to express his words in a much gentler tone, it still somehow came off rude. So he just stuck with his usual tone of voice, not minding how the others perceived him. 

"Ah. . I was just here to check up on you. The others were too scared to come.. "**

Alexsei walked closer to the jewel-eyed male, stopping beside the other's bent figure before the washroom sink. Before continuing on with his sentence, with concern lacing his tone.

"Sebastian. . You're acting very different today. Did something happen at home? I mean.. considering how your father is, I wouldn't be surprised."**

Sebastian raised a brow at the male's choice of words, so it seemed that Alexsei had a clear understanding of this kid's family background, with how casually he brought up the topic. And it also seems that this father of his was quite well known as well, seeing how the male beside him visibly faltered on his words at the mention of him.

"That has nothing to do with what happened."**

Sebastian's sharp answer made the male beside him sweet-drop, it was normal for him to say things like this after his bad experience at home, so Alexsei clearly wasn't new to this. But with how immediate and cold the reply was, it was as if it was truly honest and not just the other sulking.

"Alright. Alright. Either way, you really shut up Pavel there. God knows how much more bullshit he would've spouted if you hadn't, he surely would've made Sergey and the others more agitated. . And it could've ended up in a big fight just like the other times."**

Pavel? So it's that delinquent-looking brat's name huh? He huffed hearing the name, his mind recollecting the interaction from before.

'For his name, he clearly isn't small.'

"Anyways. . . Are you up for visiting the seaside after school today? Everyone else is going."**

Before he could even open his mouth to deny the other's invitation, he was interrupted when the mullet-haired male spoke up again, this time his features lifting up into a knowing smile. 

❝Our small group won't be complete if you aren't there.❞**
