Nick's POV
I leaned against the door frame and watched Jeff hug Blaine. My body filled with rage, but I realized that Blaine was just saying goodbye.
Why was I so jealous?
As Blaine left, I heard Wes, David, and Jeff discussing the new kid. Presently, Kirsten and some older, creepier, thinner version of Blaine walked in.
Setalmian? Sebitchian? I didn't know what his name was, but It started with an S, I knew.
"Sebastian," Wes said. His usual friendly demeanor was gone; his voice was cold and aloof. He obviously didn't like Setratcian much.
I walked over as Besatian replied, "Hello, Wesley."
"Hi, Nick!" Kirsten said, detatching herself from Semashitan.
"Hi, Kirsten." I shrugged when Jeff gave me a 'What the hell?' look. "Who's your friend?"
"Oh, this is Sebastian!"
Setratitan smiled. "Hello. You must be Nick."
I smiled. I still didn't know his name very well, so I just guessed what it was. "Hi there, Sebac-Sebal-Besatian?" I stumbled out.
Jeff, Wes, and David cracked up, but Kirsten just slapped me upside the head.
"Sebastian," she hissed venemously.
"Semastrubation?"
Everyone was laughing right now. I kind of knew his name, but not really.
"Think you're funny?" Sebastian (see, I do know his name!) took a step towards me.
I shook my head. "Not really. Do you think you're funny looking?"
Okay, that last one just slipped out. I didn't mean to say it (I only meant to think it), but Sebastian didn't know that. He stepped forward and punched me square in the jaw.
Wes's POV
Nick was cracking me up. But when he asked Sebastian about being funny looking, I knew that this would end up in a bloody mess.
Then Sebastian threw the first punch. I yanked Kirsten out of the way and passed her to Jeff, then I stepped in between Sebastian, who was trying to provoke Nick, and Nick, who was attempting to punch Sebastian.
"Hey! HEY! WHOA! HEY!"
Nick pushed himself away from me angrily. Glaring at Sebastian, he walked over to Kirsten.
"You okay?" he said.
Kirsten frowned at him. "That wasn't very nice." She leaned into Jeff. "Nickie, apologize."
He sighed and turned to Sebastian, who was standing a few feet away, looking expectant.
"I'm sorry that I insulted you," Nick said. He grumbled something to Jeff, and Jeff laughed. He wrapped his arms around Kirsten. She laughed, too.
Sebastian just nodded. Kirsten slipped herself out of Jeff's arms and I saw his face fall slightly.
"I'm gonna go get Sebastian a cookie, alright? Great," she said before we could respond.
It was a tense silence after she left. Sebastian sat himself down on the couch by the twins. They smiled and welcomed him in; it seemed that only David, Jeff, Nick, and I saw him for what he really was.
Evil little controlling, girl stealing rat.
I shook my head. I was starting to sound like Jeff.
