Chapter Six Why was he looking at me? I looked at Sebastian for a quick minute and abruptly looked away. I used the huge hood on his jacket and covered my head with it. Teacher don't normally allow students to wear hats or hoodies but when your as good as student as I am, your allowed to do anything. Now I'm not a teachers pet though. Heck I never ask for help, or submit my work on time sometimes. It's just that I produce great work, and better work if its late. The only thing they ask me to do is be on the look out for the principal or vice principal comes in. I always do. I don't want my teachers getting in trouble because of me. I took out my phone from my bag and looked up a few things to complete the work. A small smile arose on my face when I turned over my phone. My penguin case on my phone always did that. It's a black case with a shiny penguin on it which has a little pink bow, orange feet, and holds a small camera in its hands. The penguins head is tilted slightly to the side and it's eyes are resembled by two little arches. It was great to smile, but the thought of Sebastian...it's like a cycle. I forget, I smile, and it comes back again. I hate it so much! After sitting there though the pain, class was finally over. I put in my headphones and put on my music. I grabbed my bag and headed out to wait for the bus. I kept the hoodie on and put my music on louder. I wanted to drowned the thoughts in my head away! I couldn't stand it any longer! I pulled my bag close to me and held it tightly. I cried into it quietly. Someone tapped my shoulder. I looked up, hiding myself with the hoodie first and drying the tears, and then looked to see who it was. It was HER!! I wanted to slap her so hard that she wouldn't be able to talk for a month. I had to control myself though because I know I'm the bigger person. "Ugh...it's you." She looked at me with a disgusted face. "Um yeah...it's me. What do you need?" "Oh nothing." she said with a overly sweet tone. "Just wondering where you got this jacket is all." "This? My friend gave it to me. I was cold so he lent it to me." I wasn't lying necessarily. I just didn't tell her who. "Mmm ok. Well don't you need to return it?" She was acting as if she already knew this was Sebastian's jacket. "Uh no...he said I could keep it for a few days. Whats it to you?" "It means absolutely nothing to me. Thanks for the chat!" She jumped up at the sight of Sebastian walking down the school steps. "Hey Sam!! How was your day?" She said as she kissed him on the cheek. "It was fine." My bus came right on time. I didn't need to see him and her talk. Her voice annoyed me and Sebas, I didn't want to talk to him. He was probably going to ask why I cried during class. I can't lie to him though. He knows me too well for that. I ran onto the bus and paid the fare quickly so the bus driver could go. Sebastian tried to get on, but his monkey, oh I mean gf, wouldn't let go of him. I snickered at the sight of his face while the bus was leaving school. Once I got home, I locked the door and put on my alarm system. My stomach growled with hunger, so I walked over to the kitchen. A note was there from my mom. "Hey Hun. I need to you go get food. There is none. Here's money to go bye something. Oh and get some toilet paper too. See ya later peppermint latte." I literally almost threw the pan next to me through the window, but I held myself back knowing that I would be the one cleaning the glass and buying the new window. I got my keys from my bag, grabbed my phone, and stuffed the money into the pockets of the hoodie. As I locked up the house, I put my headphones on and I covered my head with the hoodie. It took me a while to decide what I wanted to get, but I figured if I didn't get anything I could pocket the money and use it towards my moving out money. So I ended up just getting the toilet paper and walking back. A block away from home, I see Sebastian in the distance. He's about two or three blocks away and SHE isn't there with him. I duck my head hoping he won't see me and got my keys ready in my pocket. Glancing up, his pace had already quickened to catch up to me. I ran over to the back of my house knowing it would take him longer to get around my house. I quickly put in the key and turn the knob. I turn swiftly and try and close the door but Sebastian's foot was already there. "Dang it! Leave me alone Sam!" Using his name would get him angry, but I don't think that was necessarily a good thing. "Sam isn't here. Sam will never be here." He answer pushing the door open. I slid against the wall down to the floor and covered my face with the hoodie. He closed the door and sat next to me. I could almost sense he was looking at me and wanted to take the good off. I wasn't crying though. There was nothing to cry about. "What do you want Sam?" He stood me up abruptly and put his two arms on the wall around me like bars locking me in. He stared at me with hate. "Use my name Amanda. You know what it is." "Fine. What the h3// do you want Sebastian?" I said with attitude. "Just to talk. Why were you crying in class?" His eyes softened and he backed away a little. "The song on my phone. It got to me." I said looking straight at him hoping he would believe me. "That's not true. Why were you crying Amanda?" He got closer again. "Thoughts." I wasn't lying. "About?" The question I dreaded the most. "Just some sad things and made me angry and made me cry for a second in class. Let it go Sebastian." I ducked under his arm and started to go up my stairs to my room. "Can I have my jacket then?" He bought it? Thank gosh. I took the jacket off taking my phone out of it. I threw it down to him. "Here. Anything else?" His eyes stared at me as if he was trying to get into my thoughts and figure out what else I was thinking. "You know about it don't you?"
Chapter Seven "I know about what?" I turned and ran upstairs to my room. I heard him locked the door and turn the alarm system on. I knew he wasn't going to hurt me, but he was capable of frightening the truth out of me. I took two by two steps up the stairs and sprinted across to my room. I could hear Sebastian catching up. It didn't help he took three steps up the stairs each time. I managed to close the door this time and lock it. "Amanda!! Let me in!" He said forcefully. The knob of the door jiggled and the pounding of his fists on my door made my heart quicken. I didn't want him to break my door. It would only mean no privacy for me till my mom could get the money for a new door. "Alright. I'm going to open the door." He was standing there at first looking as if he was going to beat the door to shreds, but his look grew kinder as he saw me standing there. "Thank you. Now you heard didn't you? I knew you were there." I hated it when he was right but how did he know it was me? "The perfume. I knew it wasn't HERs but someone else's, and since you are the only girl that wears bath and body works perfume, I knew it was you." Did he read my mind? "Why though?" "Why I deducted it was you. Well it sim-" I cut him off. "Why do you have a contract with her? Why didn't you answer her about the jacket? What is the contract about? And most importantly...why didn't you tell me?" He looked stunned. I looked down to my purple rug. I grabbed my penguin stuffed animal and hugged it. Sebastian just sat there for a minute. "I needed to have a contract with her. I didn't answer her about the jacket because I didn't want to go against what she said. The contract...that hard to explain. I-" "I don't have anywhere else to be. I'm home. You live right there and both our parents don't come home till 3 in the morning. What's the contract about?" "Well...see...you know I love basketball. See HER dads cousin is a recruiter and she offered to get me a chance to audition so to speak if I...I" Now he had to try and hold back emotion. I went over to him and walked him over to the edge of my bed. I sat back down in the middle of my bed. "It's ok. I'm not gonna laugh, or say anything." I reassured. "If I..you know...was her bf and...did bf things..." "What like kiss go out on dates? That what the contract is? I don't und-" "And other things that bf and gf do together...you know...alone." My eyes opened wide at that. He...Sebastian...was...doing it with the *****?! It took ever strength in my not to go to her house and rip that contract and rip HER head off. I tried to show no emotion but a brilliant idea came to my mind. "She knows you as Sam? Right?" "Of course. Only you and my mom know my real name." My smile grew on my face. "That means even if the contract was legal, you technically wouldn't be the person that signed." He was processing this. "Because I signed as Sam! But I'm not Sam! I'm Sebastian by birth. The contract isn't valid!" "Your sooo-" Before I could finished his hand quickly wrapped around my neck and forced me closer to him. He planted a kiss right on my lips. He let go and I looked at him. My first kiss is officially Sebastian's. I could almost scream of joy. "I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. I won't do it again." "It's quite ok. Your not that bad Sebas." I said playfully punching him. He looked over and gave me another kiss. This time a bit slower. His lips grazed against mine and it was sweet. We had both fallen to our sides but we didn't pay attention. Or At least I couldn't. My mind was in the clouds. He broke away again. His eyes looked right at mine. Our breathing was a bit heavy, but slowed down as the seconds went by. "I-I-I-" he stammered. What is he trying to say? I thought.
