To Be Free

Still Sebastian

I waited all next week for my "lesson." Kat had avoided me for the most part, rather, she avoided school, rather, school avoided her. She came on Monday but her nose had swollen badly and people were starting to make fun of the "bad girl" for getting beat up. This of course caused her anger to flare up and well, let's just say Tommy Jones wouldn't be showing his face around the school for a little while. Mrs. Gem happily gave her a weeks worth of detention for her outburst, but Kat of course, didn't bother to attend.

   I was dutiful and kept up on all of my extra credit homework and the math club even allowed me to attend their meetings again, though I couldn't fully swear my allegiance to them.

Friday came around, causing me to be completely distracted all day. Jeez, what was wrong with me? I received a text midday from Kat, even though as far as I knew, I hadn't given her my number.

Queen Kat: Hey dummy, meet me at my house after school, you know how to get there. K?

Seb: okay... See you then! :)

That was the whole conversation. Compelling, right?

  I did almost no work the rest of the day and Kat's question from yesterday finally sank in... Was I scared of needles? Why would she ask that? Was she into... The drugs? What if she offered me a heroin or something?

  I stressed all the way to her house and I knocked on the door cautiously. I heard a high pitched voice yell, "I got it!"

  The sound of pounding feet travelled through the small house. A girl that looked about ten or so opened the door and her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing my face.

"Who the heck are you?" She asked, suddenly suspicious.

"Ummm.. Se-Seb-Sebastian. I'm here for Kat." I managed to get out.

"Hm. You could've just said it, no need to be all nervous." She stated,"Kat is in her room talking to KC."

  I frowned, "Who is KC?" But she had already ran off.

  The girl didn't look like Kat at all, so I wondered who she was. She had brown hair, green eyes, and was on the chubbier side, while Kat had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a willowy, lithe body... Not that I pay attention.

  I walked through the door and made my way up to her room.

Back to Kat

I waited all day for the call. Today was the twenty second, the day he called every month.

My phone started playing Monster by Skillet and my face lit up.

I slid the green icon to the side,"KC!"

"Hey kid."

"How are you?"

"Terrible. The alcohol around here is so lame, and the chics aren't even attractive."

"You do realize that you're in a jungle right?"

"Maybe so. But nobody can resist this hot bod."

"I miss you brother."

"I miss you too el mijito."

A voice came from the background, "Who are you talking to, Frezz?"

"My sister." KC responded, slightly annoyed.

"Sister?? Oo how old??"

"Fuck off, Jer. She's too young for your wrinkly ass."

"That's not what your mom was saying last night." 'Jer' stated.
