[INDENT][INDENT]Clambering onto the surface of his desk, Sebastian swung his legs over the side as he dangled them while picking a hair out of his teeth with his finger. Looking around at the group he and Rita had formed, He pointed to each one of them as he called out his impression of each.

[B][COLOR=STEELBLUE]"Bitch, hot accent and hot mess."[/COLOR][/B] He said with a smirk pointing to Rita then Belle and Aiden. [COLOR=STEELBLUE][B]"'Course I have inside info on 'RR' here since I've actually been inside her."[/B][/COLOR] He added with a wink in Belle's direction. Belle blushed, cleared her throat, and looked away, hoping to avoid further 'attention' from Sebastian. [color=steelblue][b]"You're just interesting due to the [i]'mystery'[/i] around your dissapearance last year, was it medical? Was it AIDs?"[/b][/color] Sebastian continued in an obnoxious tone as he eyed up Aiden. 

[COLOR=CADETBLUE]"Not for very long, quickshot."[/COLOR] Rita rebuttled to Sebastian's mention of their relationship last year. [COLOR=CADETBLUE]"I ever tell you you talk too much, asshole? Oh wait. I do. Everytime I see you."[/COLOR]

Scoffing, Sebastian shook his head before shooting Belle another quick wink. [B][COLOR=STEELBLUE]"Even if that were true, we all know I pack a revolver Babe, I've got so many rounds in the chamber you couldn't even notice. And you should stop lying in front of everyone, you know for a fact you've never complained about my tongue." Sebastian stated matter of factly with a wide smirk.[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=CADETBLUE]"Hey, Seb. Shut up."[/COLOR] Rita said, proving her previous point.

Belle glanced at Aiden, a look of awkward pain marring her face. She straightened in her chair, gripping her notebook in both hands.
[color=FFFF00]"So anyway...I was thinking we could all, maybe, write a page about each other? I mean...that's what Mr Lehrer seems to be getting at. Not so much what we know about ourselves, but what others think we are. And then, that way, we'd have 3 pages each, all with different opinions!"[/color] Belle smiled, pleased with her thoughts on the assignment, and looked at the faces of each of her study-mates, guaging their reactions.

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][B]"Or not.."[/B][/COLOR] Sebastian retorted his voice trailing off as he eyed up the blonde girl across the room before throwing her a wink and blowing a kiss. [COLOR=STEELBLUE][B]"I'd like to find out where her legs meet..."[/B][/COLOR] He commented, his tongue practically hanging out of his mouth before Sebastian turned back towards Belle. [COLOR=STEELBLUE][B]"But... um yeah, your idea sounds like work so I think I'm going to wait for a better suggestion."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][B]"What you got Swaggy?"[/B][/COLOR] Sebastian asked turning to Aiden.

Aiden's nose wrinkled at the crass direction the conversation had somehow taken. He wasn't a prude; his thoughts were governed largely by the same hormones as any boy his age. It was discourse like this that made him lament his predicament and long to be out of high school. He rolled his eyes but managed to suppress the sigh that threatened to slip from his lips. 

He had never been particularly fond of Sebastian, but Aiden did reserve a slither of respect for the guy. After all, whilst he was an undeniable wind up merchant, Aiden had never really felt targeted by him. There was something almost endearing about the lad who provoked without discrimination; anyone was a potential plaything to Sebastian, and for some reason that gave Aiden a sense of comfort and allowed him to take Seb's jabs without thinking too much into it. 

[COLOR=ORANGERED]"I would disagree with Belle,"[/COLOR] he said, shooting the bald girl a cursory glance to ensure he hadn't offended her, before returning his gaze to the doodles that were seeping idly from the end of his pen. [COLOR=ORANGERED]"In the sense that, like, I don't think Mr. Lehrer is particularly interested in what other people think of us. It's the Social [i]Conscience[/i], after all. I think he wants us to like, self-reflect or some shit."[/COLOR] Aiden peeked up from his scribbles, checking the response of the group. 

[COLOR=ORANGERED]"Besides,"[/COLOR] he added, eyes flicking back down to his journal. [COLOR=ORANGERED]"I don't expect any of you have enough of an opinion of me to fill a whole page."[/COLOR]

[COLOR=CADETBLUE]"You're not the biggest idiot in the room, is about all I know about you.[/color] The young blonde said, she was fidgeting with her lip piercing, as she turned her attention towards Belle and Aiden, to weigh in on their conversation. [COLOR=CADETBLUE]"But I agree. We're definately supposed to do self-reflection. It's another bullshit exercise to try and make us more aware, or whatever."[/COLOR]

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][B]"That would be why the course is called [I]Social Consience[/i]."[/B][/COLOR] Came a retort from Sebastian as he too joined the discussion. [COLOR=STEELBLUE][B]"All I know is that time is a valuable thing and this man is wasting mine. I was supposed to have a free period before I was forced into this."[/B][/COLOR] Jumping down from the desk, Sebastian turned and leaned on it as he peered towards the clock. Its hands seemed to be moving painfully slow as the impatient teen glared at it before looking back at the group. 

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][B]"Rita's a tough chick, but only until you get to know her. In which case she becomes a total jerk. Sinéad here is a real keener, eager to do well academically and prove herself to everyone and then there's Swaggy. Dresses like one of us..."[/B][/COLOR] Sebastian stated as he paused to motion to the rougher attire that both he and Rita wore. [COLOR=STEELBLUE][B]"But acts like one of them. [/B][/COLOR] He continued as he pointed to Belle. [COLOR=STEELBLUE][B]"Academically gifted up until last year when you went M.I.A. The rumors flew in and out of here but no one actually knows what happened. But your downward spiral happened to correspond with that mall fire."[/B][/COLOR] Suddenly Sebastian's arm moved blindingly fast as he snatched Aiden's notebook and turned it back towards the student, his finger underlining a single word.

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][B]"Got a nasty vice have we Firebug?"[/B][/COLOR]

[color=FFFF00]"Sebastian, give that back."[/color] Belle intruded, quietly protesting against Sebastian's entire personality. She wasn't a fan of pranks or antics, and didn't see the purpose in irritating people just to irritate them. [color=FFFF00]"If Aiden wants to tell you about last year, he'll tell you. It's not our place to pry."[/color] She gave Aiden a sympathetic smile as she held a hand out for his notebook, which Sebastian dutifully ignored. She understood why someone could be secretive about their past, and in truth she believed it was only the present that truly mattered regardless.

Aiden's eyes seemed to burn with rage, but his disposition was otherwise cold. He'd had barely a second to react before his book was swiped from beneath his lax palm, and now that very same journal was held up at him; one ugly and incriminating word staring him down across the table, emboldened and underlined by his own hand. Aiden had never considered anyone would ever attach him to the fire. Not that it was even his fault, anyway. In truth, he'd theorized that people paid so little attention to him, that they would likely not even notice his absence. Never mind connect it to the local gossip. 

The classroom felt hazy as Aiden seethed, in the background, he could hear Abelle defending him, but nothing was really registering in his head. His skin was hot with anger as he furiously looked Sebastian dead in the eyes, and the air around him soon followed suit as the temperature began to climb. [i][COLOR=ORANGERED]Fuck, no,[/COLOR][/I], he thought to himself, panicked as he noticed the other students begin to feel the heat. [i][COLOR=ORANGERED]Not here, not now.[/COLOR][/i]

In a flash, he rose to his feet, snatching his book from Sebastian's smug grip in one violent movement and cramming it into his bag. [COLOR=ORANGERED]"You're an asshole, Scott."[/COLOR] he muttered with venom, then excused himself from the class with efficient haste. [COLOR=ORANGERED]"I need some air. It's way too hot in here."[/COLOR]

Rita grinned a little at Aiden and Seb's antics. As Aiden left the room, she looked at Sebastian. [COLOR=CADETBLUE]"That sure got me all hot and botherered."[/COLOR] Spitting sarcasm with every word. [COLOR=CADETBLUE]"Just can't help yourself from being an asshole, can you, Seb?"[/COLOR] 

Slumping down in her chair, Rita crossed her arms before muttering to herself. 

[COLOR=CADETBLUE]"I need another smoke."[/COLOR][/INDENT][/INDENT]
