The rest of the day went by slowly. Sebastian and I walked back to Dalton after our... whatever that was. After that I had gym, and I gotta say, gym at Dalton is much different than gym at McKinley. Much more civilized. Then I had English, which was actually pretty okay, my teacher, Mr. Ludwig, seems nice enough. After English was math, my only other class with Sebastian. Normally I hate math, but with him sitting next to me, well... it wasn't so bad. After that Sebastian offered me a ride to his house so we could study after school, so I texted my dad to tell him and now here I am. Sitting in Sebastian Smythe's car with a stupid grin plastered on my face. He was being pretty quiet, but kept glancing over at me every few minutes, a small smirk on his face. I knew my cheeks were probably flushed from being slightly embarrassed, but I didn't care. My phone buzzed in my pocket, making me jump. Sebastian laughed and I lightly smacked him. Taking out my phone, I saw dad had texted me back.
Dad: That's great that you're making friends kiddo, but we're supposed to have dinner tonight. I'll let you make your own decision, but I wish you wouldn't skip it. I was looking forward to hearing about your first day at that fancy new school.
Great. He was making me feel guilty. But how was I supposed to tell Sebastian, who has been nothing but nice to me all day, no? I decided to just call my dad, texting really isn't my style.
He picked up on the second ring.
"Hey kiddo what's up?"
"Uh, hi dad. I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry, but I can't make it to dinner tonight. I just have a lot of stuff to catch up on, and Sebastian's going to help me." I saw Sebastian smirk out of the corner of my eye, making me blush. Why can I not stop blushing around this guy???
"Who, who's Sebastian? Does he, uh, is he... gay?"
My eyes bulged a little. WHY DOES THAT HAVE TO BE HIS FIRST QUESTION?
"Um, yeah, he is. But don't worry, dad, we're just studying. And eating dinner."
My dad was quiet for a few seconds.
"Okay Kurt, but I want you to be home by 8. I want to hear about your day, okay?"
"Yeah, sure. Sounds good dad, I'll see you then. Bye."
"Bye Kurt."
I hung up then and tried to ignore Sebastian's smirk.
A few minutes later we pulled up to a huge white house. It had dark green shrubs lining the walkways and pretty flowers in the window boxes. And a fountain. A huge fountain. I could tell I probably looked so dumb, my mouth hanging open, but wow, this place is amazing.
"Your house is beautiful." I said finally. Sebastian shrugged.
"Thanks."
Sebastian opened the huge black door and stepped aside, gesturing for me to go in first. The inside of the mansion was just as elegant as the outside. The first thing I saw when I walked in was a huge dark staircase with built in shelves on the sides. The shelves were lined with books and pictures, mostly of Sebastian and what must be an older brother. Sebastian came in behind me and led me to the kitchen. He took a case of my favorite brand of sparkling water out of the fridge and a bag of pretzels. Then we took the snacks up to his room, which was huge and gorgeous. It had dark hardwood floors and a nice king size bed on one side. Sebastian flopped down on the bed and took off his blazer. I just stood there awkwardly. After a few seconds Sebastian sat up.
"Oh uh, here." He moved over a little and made room for me on the bed.
I perched myself on the edge and tried to act normal. Guys sit on each other's beds all the time, right? So why do I feel so awkward???
Oh, that's right, because this is guy just so happens to be incredibly attractive and I'm totally falling for him. Fantastic.
Sebastian turned on music, a welcome distraction. Michael Jackson's distinguishable voice filled the room, making me smile. Not exactly the musical taste I would have guessed from Sebastian, a dapper private school boy. But I like it.
I began to take out the papers I got in science, but Sebastian stopped me.
"That can wait a few minutes." He said. I suddenly got nervous. What exactly did he mean by that? My heart began to race as the thought occurred to me that maybe going to a stranger's house after you've only known them for 7 hours might not be such a good idea.
Sebastian must of noticed my nerves because he grinned. "Kurt, relax. I just thought we could watch tv, or talk, or something for a little." He said with a small laugh.
"Oh. Right, yeah. Yeah." I said, my cheeks as red as the piping on my blazer. Jesus Christ, I've been here five minutes and I've already managed to make a complete fool out of myself.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" I asked, trying to sound casual. To be perfectly honest, I had never really hung out with guys before. Just Rachel, and all she wanted to talk about was how nobody would ever love her and how she was better than everyone else at McKinley. Don't get me wrong, I love the girl, and we've been best friends for a few years, but she would literally never shut up. Such a diva.
"Whatever you want. How was your first day at Dalton?" Sebastian asked, snapping me out of my memories.
What was I supposed to say? Well, you're basically a complete stranger but I've had your face stuck in my head all day? Oh, and I also drew a picture of you, because that's not weird at all? And I think I'm starting to get a major crush on you? Yeah, definitely couldn't say any of that.
"It was good." I lied. "Really different then my old school though. It will just take some getting used to."
Sebastian nodded and ate a few pretzels. I took a sip of my water and tried to calm down.
This isn't a date, I reminded myself. It's definitely not a date, even though I'm at his house, sitting less then two feet away from him, on his bed.
But its not a date. Sebastian probably doesn't even like me. He's probably just being nice to the new kid. Probably.
