Sebastian's mouth is wide open, eyes unblinking. Within a second, he finds a hand covering his eyes, blocking his view of Andrea. “Go change!” Killian and his father say in unison, Elias’ hand still over Sebastian's face in an attempt to save his daughter's dignity. “But why?” Andrea argues back, hand resting on the railing of the stairs. “Because this isn't a beach and you are not gonna wear a bikini here. Go and wear something decent.” Elias commands. Killian is still too shocked to speak. He has never seen Andrea like this. She refused to wear revealing dresses, finding the best comfort in hoodies and sweat-shirts. Above all, she didn't do make up. Not because she didn't like it but because she didn't know how to do it. The misplaced lipsticks on her lips and rosy cheeks making her look like a clown instead, vouch for that statement. He thought Andrea was over Sebastian but he guesses not. “This is not a bikini! It's a one piece dress!” Andrea protests, trying to lengthen the

“What's happening? Why are you with him?” Killian asks Sebastian, eyeing Liam who is talking to one of their classmates. Sebastian has thought a lot for an explanation but he didn't come up with a convincing one. Killian isn't someone who buys bullshit but he has to try. “Guess what? His father isn't just friends with your dad.” Sebastian replies nonchalantly, hoping he will sound confident. Technically, he isn't lying. “His father's social relationship is like an octopus's tentacles. Too long and too much.” Killian mutters, making Sebastian laugh despite the stress he is feeling right now. “In that case, Liam is like an octopus's testicles. Too much but too short.” Sebastian goes along, finding the courage to badmouth Liam as he isn't listening to their conversation. Killian snorts, nodding his head nonetheless. He agrees to this fact wholeheartedly. He met Liam only once, yet his fake sweetness got into Killian's nerves. When Killian called him out on his falsehood, Liam showed

Killian feels odd, utterly so. He felt so angry and jealous seeing Sebastian smile and hold hands with the other man. He heard Sebastian calling behind him but he didn't care to stop and reply to his calling. No, he is too hurt to be doing that. But why is he hurt? He asks himself. Sebastian and he aren't a thing, they don't have a label to their relationship. So, Sebastian has the right to meet up with anyone he wants. He can date anyone as well. But the very idea of it happening makes Killian angry, so angry that he is ready to punch a wall or better get rid of the person in whom Sebastian is interested. His possessive side sometimes scares himself too. When he finds himself outside of the bar and no sign of Sebastian chasing after him, he feels hurt again. Why is he feeling like that? Does he like Sebastian? Of course he does. He has come to terms with it a while back. But this feeling, it's more than liking someone. He is torn, not really understanding his own feelings. His ang

Sebastian is well aware of the eyes on him. Pushing away all the negative thoughts and judgemental eyes, he tries to go towards his locker and get essential books. He is relieved that Killian is running late today. He won't have to worry about giving Killian an answer for now at least. He is too shy to confess his feelings. He wishes he was as confident as Killian in this matter. As soon as he reaches the locker area, he is greeted by the principal himself. Baffled at the sudden appearance of the man, Sebastian tries to clumsily greet the principal back and make his way towards his own locker. “Let's have a word, Mr.Greenfield.” The principal insists, making Sebastian arch his eyebrow in confusion. Sebastian simply nods his head and follows the man. Why is he being called to the principal's office? And why did the principal come on his own? He could have sent someone to call him. Sebastian's stomach churns in uneasiness. He is fearing that something unexpected and unpleasant will u

Sebastian and Liam were inseparable in their early days of friendship. They were totally different from each other, with Sebastian being the quiet one who was constantly being bullied and Liam being the talkative kid who constantly saved Sebastian from other kids. However, their dynamic gradually changed as they grew older. At first, the changes weren't significant. Sebastian hardly noticed them. But the more days passed by, the more Sebastian started to feel odd about Liam's changing behaviour. He always wanted to be in control no matter whom the matter concerned, always wanted to be under the spotlight. He gaslit Sebastian when he tried to bring this matter into a discussion. But that wasn't it all. He received the worst of all that fateful night. It was a night of celebration. Even for Sebastian. The joyful night took the form of a nightmarish morning for him. And he finally saw the real face of Liam, his ex-best friend. Sebastian spent the afternoon thinking about Liam and what
