The Unkindness Of Raven| 25

TWENTY -FIVE |SEBASTIAN

            SEBASTIAN watches as Raven steps out onto the balcony to talk to Mario on her phone since the live band that was playing was too loud. Couples have started to gather on the dance floor as Daria dragged him onto the dance floor causing Lennox to stare at him. 

"Why didn't you ask Lennox to dance?" Sebastian asked as he started to move to the slow movement of the music. "My throat is tired of dealing with a problem that doesn't seem to have a solution," She said as she places her hands around my neck.

"Every problem has a solution some are just harder to simplify," Sebastian told her.

"There's nothing simple about Lennox, He's the hardest rock to scrape at." She muttered.

  "Yet your the only one who knows how to," he replied back as Lennox joins Raven on the Balcony and he watches Raven showed him something on his phone. Daria spins him around as Rhyion walks up to them and decided to pipe in. "Can we dance I'll like to talk to Daria," he interjected, biting his lip nervously.

"Sure, I'm going to make sure my date isn't Nancy Drew-ing all night and get her on the dance floor," he replied as Rhyion took Sebastian place to dance with Daria as he went onto the balcony to find her talking to Mr. Nonage. When did he get here?. 

      "It's okay," She heard Raven said as she joins them. Mr. Nonage was wearing a suit, which was odd the man hardly puts twos together he mumbled. Guess it was normal to have teachers around at events like this. The last time he remembers seeing him at this said even was when that girl went missing and he was suspect to be the last person who saw her. What was so special about tonight? He wondered.

"Hey, Raven Wanna dance?" Sebastian taking the spot directly beside her. 

"Sure," She answered as Mr. Nonage stares at her like she was some piece of meat before glaring up at him. "Treat her well, you might not have her for long," he said with a grin.

"Is something in your drink Sir?"Sebastian question as he glances down at the beer in his hand.

   "Maybe, Did you spike it?" he asked. Something was off with him tonight, Sebastian couldn't pinpoint it but it was. He had seen him watching us both all night especially her every move. For a facility Staff, he wasn't intrigued by the charity or anything to do with the program he seems intrigued by watching Raven. 

    "I'll see you around Mr. Nonage," Raven said as she steps away from him and he followed behind, pulling the door open for her. Sebastian glance back to see That he was gone, Where did he go so fast?. Sebastian shrugged him out of his mind as he stares at Raven. 

       "Guys, I'm not feeling so hundred, can we go home?" Daria asked holding her stomach.

"Yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of this place," Raven said as she heads for the door causing Sebastian to glare at her. "What!?" Daria blurted out, her eyes shaking as she outstretched her hand and he took it.

  "You just ruin a moment," He whispered shouted as help her towards the door.

"Sorry, but I really need to lie down," she slurred.

"What the hell did you drink?" He questions a moment later as he helps her to the door.

 "L-ll-la-a-avender," she sputtered as her eyes turn over and she collapsed in his hand. He quickly lifts her up and carried her out into the cool air. She shifts in his arm and as she shivers lightly as he hitches her up in his arm.

"What happens to her?" Raven asked as she realized he was carrying her on his arm.

"I think she drinks something Lavender," he said as Raven open the back passenger door.
