For Him

Chapter 3

Ezra

So, according to Paige, Sage and Seth, they can't 'live' without me talking to them. I had called Sebastian to pick me up Wednesday morning and they had anticipated that I would have so they brought peace offerings.

Paige had gotten me a huge basket filled with my favorite fruits which made me a little happy but not enough to forgive him. That is until he pulled out a giant pack of Wild Berry Skittles.

Sage had chosen a more traditional path, he went on his knees and begged for my forgiveness with the additional snot in his nose. I couldn't stop myself from laughing hard but when I looked at him, he was satisfied with my reaction. He didn't even seem to notice the other kids laughing at him.

"She won't be anywhere that you will be when you are with us." Seth said it as if it would fix everything.

I stared at them for a moment before what he said hit me. She won't be there, but she still is there. He didn't end it with her even after I blatantly showed my dislike of her, he didn't end it. Now that just made my angry.

"I will forgive you guys but only if you promise me one thing."

"Anything." They chorused, making me smile.

"You have to accept the fact that I have three new friends which means that I wouldn't be spending all my time with you anymore."

Sebastian snickered at the look of horror that made its way to their faces. Sage went to open his mouth to complain but I held my finger up for him to stop.

"That is your only option."

They looked mega reluctant but then nodded their heads solemnly. I smiled and attached myself to Sebastian's arm and started to walk in the direction of Dawn's locker.

"You really are a little Princess, aren't you?" Sebby asked.

"They chose to treat me as one, but it got worst after a particularly nasty incident."

"What happened?" He asked with a voice thick with worry and curiosity.

"There once was a homophobic family in our community who had a son our age at the time. One day when I was by myself, he jumped me and beat me until I passed out. The three of them had gone on dates that day so they weren't there to protect me. Their protectiveness level skyrocketed after that but the downside to that is that they don't trust anyone to be with me other than themselves." I explained.

"So that means that you've never had a boyfriend."

"Nope."

"No one has popped your cherry?" He asked, and I didn't like that amused tone in his voice.

"No."

"What kind of life is that?!"

"Apparently a sad one."

He told me about the many ways in which my life has been deprived. He tried to reason out that I should've at least had one 's*x-friend' already, all which didn't make sense.

********

At lunch, I sat at Dawn's table and when Paige, Sage and Seth looked at me from ours, I beckoned them over. They scrunched up their eyebrows but still came across. I introduced them to Dawn, before me and her broke off into a conversation consisting of only BL manga.

"The best uke that I have read about is the ones that are athletic or slightly slutty." Dawn said.

"The best seme is the stoic but obsessed types."

My three best friends sat silently observing us. I am sure that they had no idea of what we were talking about. That was until I brought up my spontaneous idea for the three of us to have a sleep over, Sebastian, Dawn and me. The boys were scowling so hard that it almost cracked their faces.

"E, I don't li-" Seth started but I cut him off with two simple words.

"You. Promised."

"But even we don't get to sleep at your place anymore." Paige whined.

"What happened the last time Paige?"

"We destroyed your room." He mumbled quietly.

"You guys are not staying in my room ever again unless it's a 'life and death' situation."

"Did you ask Sebastian yet Ezra?" Dawn asked.

"Ask me what?" He said as he slid into the seat in front of me, Jeremiah next to him.

"Sleepover at my house Friday night?"

"Should I bring the nail polish?"

"Neon red."

"Orange."

We continued like that for a few minutes before Sebastian's phone rang and he left to take the call. Jeremiah and Dawn began to talk about some new music video that came out recently when I felt a tap on my shoulder. When I turned blue, green and grey eyes were staring at me.

"You've been ignoring us for a while now E." Sage said.

"I thought that you forgave us." Paige said.

"I did! It's just that I know everything there is to know about you guys and currently I have new people to get to know."

They stared at me for a while until Seth said, "Let's go out on Sunday." to which the twins nodded.

I sighed but nodded my head in confirmation.

*********

Sebastian decided that we deserved a treat for being 'sexy people' so with my guidance, we went to the best ice cream that I knew of, Milky Delights. I had found that store during the last school year because I needed an escape from Seth's whoring ways.

When we made our way to the counter, it happened. You know how in those cheesy romance book where the girl gets lost in the eyes of another. How she describes the moment as magical, that really the only word that could describe him.

He was the only person that I found suitable enough to be in the same league as Seth. He has raven colored hair that is short and in a modern cut, giving him a bad boy vibe, but his baby blue eyes showed a certain immaturity that just roped you in. His strong nose and jaw made for a delicious feast for my eyes. His muscles were bulging under his white dress shirt but didn't look disgusting. He was talking to a girl about the different flavors available making me realize that he worked here. The low rumble of his voice made me want to do ungodly things.

I heard Sebastian snickering from behind me as I blushed.

This is new.
