"Not always." He smirked, then returned the shrug. "Anyway, I didn't know she was a mess. She puts on a really, really good show. Even now, I don't know if all of it was fake." After all, there were things he'd told her that he absolutely cringed to think of, and she hadn't blabbed them to the whole school yet.
Probably because she was waiting for the most profitable opportunity to blackmail him.
Suddenly he kind of wished he'd taken that phone call.

Ben saw Sebastian's face change, and he tilted his head a little. "You okay?" He almost reached out to touch Sebastian's hand, so he clenched his fist instead.

"Yeah," he said, his face instantly taking on a normal expression again. He ordered them a couple more beers, even though he knew he'd just nurse this one for the rest of the night. He glanced at the clock, remembered he hadn't called home, told himself it would be fine. Rick never got home this early, anyway. "So you think our sisters have driven each other crazy yet?"

He snorted, taking a sip of his new beer. "Knowing Emma, she's given your sister a complete make-over by this point and made her try on half of what's in her closet."

Sebastian laughed at the image. "Poor Clara. She doesn't even wear makeup. And our mom still picks out all her clothes." Except for the times when she wasn't in the mood to acknowledge her children, let alone shop for them. Then he got stuck taking Clara to the mall and struggling to find anything approved by the local in-crowd that came in her size.

"Emma'll loosen her up." He shook his head. "I wonder how we're related sometimes."

"'Cause she's not a quiet, broody loner?" he said with a smirk. "I wonder about me and Clara too. You might've noticed, she's kind of scared of everything." Of course, he was too. He just hid it a whole lot better.

He smirked. "So, I'm a quiet, broody loner? And you're not? Like I said, you play a good game, but you look sulky when you think no one's looking." Because he usually was.

"Rich kids are supposed to be sulky," he pointed out, sipping foam off the top of his beer. "When we don't get ponies for our birthdays and stuff. We can't help it, we're just kind of made that way."

That made Ben laugh, and he shot Sebastian a smile. "Wanna get outta here? It's getting dark. There's a park down the block, no one's ever there, and I need a cigarette."

No, I don't want to go hang out in a dark deserted park with you. Because that can only end in disaster. "Sure. I could use one, too," he said, getting up and wondering when he became so stupid. At least he wouldn't have to drink anymore.

Ben threw money on the table, waving goodbye Tim and Susanne, then headed out. He dug in his pockets for cigarettes, lighting his own before offering one to Sebastian, casting him a sidelong look.

"Thanks." He lit the cigarette, inhaled, and thought, Okay, seriously, what am I doing? Yet somehow it was still better than being at some loud, drunken party for hours, pretending to drink, pretending to care about things he didn't, pretending he didn't know that Lena was right across the room, sending him stalker glances.
"So are you certain there aren't any drug deals going down in this park? 'Cause it's kind of a missed opportunity."

((I super can't hang with the chat...too much going on...))
Ben smirked and made his way over to the swing set. "Not usually." He flopped into a swing, taking a long drag before letting out the smoke. "Why? Lookin' to score, or just curious?"

((Haha, same! I only dropped in because Rae poked me.))
Sebastian snorted with laughter. "Definitely just curious." He claimed a swing, breathed in a lungful of smoke, and had a sudden crazy vision of just staying out here all night. Which was, in fact, crazy. He'd tried flat-out avoiding home before...his record was three days. The consequences weren't worth it. Not even close.
