POV: Sebastian

My dorm is... really boring. I mean, once I learned my way around, there really isn't much to see.

Kurt said he was going to get dinner, but I mean- why? Like, why am I eating in my dorm?

I could find my way there, wherever you eat in this place.

I stand up, walking out of my dorm. I feel like Kurt's keeping something from me, he hasn't even tried to figure out how I lost my memory. He could already know.

I'm not quite sure I should trust him.

I follow a couple of people who are heading somewhere, and eventually they lead me to, like, a dining hall.

Fancy.

The blonde boy- Jeff?- from earlier waves me over to a table, and I sit down in the empty spot.

"Sebastian! I was just telling them that you're back," he says excitedly.

I nod. "Yes, them- uh, who's them?"

A dark-haired boy blinks in confusion. "What's with the stutter?"

"What stutter?" I ask, equally confused. I mean, I don't hear a stutter.

"Um, your stutter?" he says.

I frown, lost as to what he's talking about. "Are you trying to trick me? I don't hear a stutter."

Another boy clears his throat. "Um, anyway, what do you mean by 'who's them'?"

"Oh, amnesia. I, er, lost my memory," I explain.

A boy sits down at the table. "Guys, so I wa-" He froze, looking at me blankly.

"What?" I ask nervously, uncomfortable by the attention.

"It's just- you're back. The last I heard you, like, tried to kill yourself and were in a coma."

I stare at him, feeling my mouth go dry. "I tried to ki...?" I trail off, able to say it. What?

There's silence before someone speaks- and it's just about the last person I want to hear.

"Sebastian, thank god, I went to your dorm and you wer-"

I cut him off, standing up. "You said you didn't know! You lied to me!"

The color drains out of Kurt's face. "You- I-"

"Suicide? I think that's a bit of an important detail you left out," I hiss furiously, storming off. I don't know where I'm going, I just want to get away from it all.

But- suicide?

Why?
