Chapter 24: He Likes You

I placed my tray of food onto the table, slouching down into my seat and putting my hands over my face before placing my elbows on the table. I wanted everyone to stay as far away from me as possible before I was quickly surrounded by my friends. And there was no way that it wasn't going to happen. In just a few moments, every single on of them would be sitting at the table with me.

In 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

Several footsteps came clattering over and before I knew it, the entire 'gang' was back together.

"Hey, Sebastian!" Sam chirped excitedly, grabbing her fork and eagerly digging into her breakfast. "How are you doing this fine morning?"

I peeked through a space underneath my hand to look at my friend. Her cheeks were puffed out from the food that she had stuffed in her mouth and her lips were a bright red. I smiled and pulled my hands off of my face.

"I would be doing much better if I didn't have to deal with all of your hounding this morning." I told them truthfully, picking up my fork so that I could start cutting into my waffles. I looked around the table before my gaze landed on Harvey. He was sitting next to Warlo but his eyes were fixated on Sam's lips. I smirked and looked back down at my food. "If you loved me, you would let me go."

Sam rolled her eyes and swallowed loudly. Lani scoffed and shook his head. 

"Sebastian, you always have some drama going on. What types of friends would we be if we weren't around to always get the tea." Lani argued with a fake concerned look. "For the purposes of helping you, of course."

"Mmm . . . " I hummed sarcastically. "I totally believe you."

Dipi seemed to realize that I was in fact stalling and slammed her hand on the table. The rest of us jumped, not expecting the noise and especially not expecting it from my sister. Lani, like the rest of us, was staring at Dipi with wide eyes. Dipi turned and caught Lani's gaze before smirking and sending him a wink.

My eyes bulged out and I looked around to see if anyone else noticed that. Turns out everyone else had and when I looked at him again, Lani was blinking dumbly as he stared into nothing. Dipi had no idea of what she just did to that poor boy.

"Anyway, now that I have your attention, we can get down to what's actually important." Dipi bit out sassily before turning her entire body towards me. "What happened last night with the famous doctor Dean McCain?"

All eyes turned to me and there was absolutely nothing that I could do to avoid them now. I sighed heavily.

"Well, we went to play pool, like I told you." I started slowly, thinking about how I would tell them everything. "I have never played in my life so he had to teach me." 

They were all nodding along to my story and listening carefully as I spoke.

"We played for several hours and it was really fun. He has a great sense of humor so we were making a lot of jokes and laughing a lot." I shrugged while going to eat more waffle. "That was pretty much it. It took a lot of energy out of me so that was why I came back tired."

They were taking my story well and when I finished, they sighed in disappointment. 

"Really, that's it?" Nick asked in a whine. "That doesn't even make sense! Why would you get so tired after playing pool I- ah, wait! Didn't you mention something about him touching you a lot and that making you tired?"

I froze when everyone's eyes suddenly turned back to me.

"Sebastian . . . " Dipi started threateningly. "What is Nick talking about?"
