TONIGHT WE CELEBRATE surviving the first week of senior year. We're heading out to the club 'Felix', bringing our fake ID's just in case the bouncers won't let us in. I know they will anyway, because they know who our parents are.

Evie and I are currently getting ready in my bedroom, blasting out our favourite music, dancing around the room, attempting to do our make up.

Evie decided to wear a simple, black, body con,spaghetti strapped dress, with a sweetheart neckline, paired with a pair of black strappy heels that makes her legs look longer. She looked stunning. My best friend is gorgeous and I hope she knows it. I know that Nicolas reminds her of her beauty every single day. I wish someone did that for me.

I decided on wearing a loose fitting, gold, satin mini dress. A slight slit going up the side of my upper thigh making me feel somewhat, sexy. There's not many times that I actually feel sexy. Sure, a lot of people have commented that I look sexy, but I've never felt it before.

With one final look in the mirror, I turned around to face Evie, who's face was in utter shock. I immediately started feeling slightly self conscious as she wasn't saying anything, but it quickly faded as soon as she started screaming bloody murder at my appearance.

"Oh my fucking god! How are you so perfect?" She questioned me with a big ass grin on her face, as she ran over to me.

"Uh thank you Evie! You look beautiful! But unfortunately, I am far from perfect" I laughed at her.

She was about to respond, but was abruptly cut off when Lucas cane bathing into my room, huffing and puffing.

"Dude! Ever heard of knocking?" I scolded him for bathing in my room.

"Sorry, I heard screaming and came to the rescue. So, what happened? Who do I need to kill?" He questioned us, scarily serious.

"Oh Lucas, dear, you don't need to kill anyone or save us. I was just screaming about how beautiful your baby sister looks! Doesn't she look gorgeous, Luke?" Evie asked my older brother who let out a sigh of relief once he saw that we were ok.

"Obviously she looks beautiful! She's my sister, good looks run in the family" he smirked cockily.

"See? I told you that you looked beautiful! Stop being so self conscious Alexandra Black, because you, are a fucking queen!" She told me with pride evidently laced in her voice.

"Yeah! You have no reason to feel so self conscious, baby sister!" Lucas cheered along with Evie.

Lucas and Evie have always had a close relationship. They're literally the same person. Both energetic, both clumsy, both sweet, you'd think that they're twins.

"I appreciate it guys really, and I'm fine, okay?" I replied with an eye roll.

"Oh the boys are here by the way" Lucas told us before walking back downstairs.

Evie and I took a few pictures together before heading the stairs to greet the boys.

The sound of out clicking heels, brought all the attention onto us, as we entered the living room.

Evie ran straight over to Nicolas, fretting him with a big hug and kiss, as he muttered sweet nothings into her ear, kissing her head gently.

I walked over to Sebastian, seeing his eyes look me up and down, not so subtly. I smirked at him as he realised that I caught him checking me out.

"See something you like, Kingsley?" I asked him, trying to embarrass him.

"Yes" he said, so confidently I almost fell over.

"What?" I asked him breathlessly.

"I'm kidding Black. You're not my type anyway" he laughed at me as I rolled my eyes at him.

"You sure know how to make a girl swoon don't you Sebby?" I asked him sarcastically.

"It's my specialty baby" he smirked at me, enjoying our banter.

"Hey guys, if you're done with your shameless flirting, we're gonna leave" Nicolas told us, snapping us out of our conversation.

We both nodded in return, following behind Evie and Nic as we all walked to the elevator, leading us down to the lobby, and out towards my limousine where I saw Jeffrey waiting for us.

"Good evening Miss Black. Miss Blacks friends" he greeted us all with a polite smile.

"Hello Jeffrey! How are you?" Evie questioned him excitedly.

"I am very well, Miss Rhodes, thank you for asking. Oh and I think a congratulations is in order, Mr Kingsley. I heard from your mother that you and Miss Black are now a couple. I hope you treat her like the queen she rightfully is, because she deserves the world and more" Jeffrey replied to Evie before turning his attention to Sebastian and I. The words he spoke warned my heart, I honestly love Jeffrey so much, he's such a sweetheart. He's like a grandfather to me.

"Indeed I am Jeffrey. We are very happy, thank you" Sebastian responded with a small smile on his face as he turned to look at me. I returned the gesture to keep up appearances in front of Jeffrey. He just smiled in the front seat, as he glanced at Sebastian and I through the rear view mirror.

We all listened to the slight hum of the music playing in the radio, as we cracked open a bottle of champagne, laughing and joking around, as we headed over to the club.

Hopefully tonight won't involve any drama.

Oh how wrong was I.

•••

I felt the music pumping through my body as I danced to the beat of the music with Evie. The boys were sitting down at the booth looking at us dancing as they sipped on their drinks.

"Hey lets get the boys to dance with us!" Evie shouted at me over the music, as she tugged on my arm towards our booth.

"Guys, come and dance with us! We're feeling pretty lonely out there" Evie fake pouted at the boys as they rolled their eyes and stood up to come to the dance floor with us.

Nicolas and Evie walked over to the dance floor, hands intertwined. Sebastian and I walked over, keeping a good foot of distance between us.

We both stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to dance with each other now that we're in a couple.

I sighed, knowing there shouldn't be any awkwardness between us right now, and grabbed his wrists, swinging them with mine.

He had a look of confusion drawn across his face, as he stared at me trying to make him dance, before he threw his head back and groaned, a tiny smile forming on his lips, as he began to slowly move his body to the music.

I smiled in triumph as we both began to sway to the music. He gently began to move our hands around, as he slowly intertwined our fingers together. He pulled me in closer, so that our chests were pressed up against each other. What is he doing?

I think he realised what he was doing too, as he quickly let go of my hands and stormed off of the dance floor, and towards the back entrance, fishing in his pockets, probably looking for cigarettes.

My mind was riddled with confusion as to why he suddenly intertwined our hands, held me so close to his chest that I could feel his breath next to my ear. It was probably the alcohol that was running through my veins that made me feel like this, but it felt nice. It was a feeling I've never felt before. Warmth.

Before I could think about these sudden weird feelings I'm getting, I decided to head to the bar that was near the back of the club, and get another drink.

I was sat down on the stool waiting for my drink when I felt a presence stand behind me. I turned around to see a tall, scruffy looking man, about in his late 20's.

"Can I help you?" I asked him, as I took a sip from my drink.

"Yes actually, you can sweetheart. You see, I saw you dancing earlier with Sebastian Kingsley, and I was just wanting to know where he went off to?" He asked me with a sickly sweet smile, which frankly, creeped the fuck out of me.

His teeth were stained yellow, his eyes as black as the night sky. Something was off about this man.

"And who are you exactly?"

"Well sweetheart, if you must know, my name is Damien Castillo. I'm a... friend of Sebastian's" he said slyly.

"And who are your bodyguards?"

"These are my friends, David and Cory. I'm guessing your his pretty lil' girlfriend 'en?"

"The one and only. I'll go and get him for you, Damien. Stay here, I'll be back shortly" I replied with a side of attitude.

With that said, I stood up from my stool, and quickly walked back towards the door Sebastian went through. As I walked through the door, I could instantly smell the cigarettes looming about the rundown, dark, alley. I saw him leaning against the opposite wall, head tilted back as he puffed out the cigarette smoke. At the sound of the door slamming shut, he turned his head towards me, and his beautiful ocean eyes, connected with me bright green ones.

"Damien Castillo wants to see you" I said to me bluntly, as I walked over to him.

He instantly turned to stone. A look of fear was on his face, as he looked straight at me. Noticing this, I hesitantly asked the next question softly.

"Who is he Sebastian?"

"Look, Lexi you need to get Evelyn and Nic and get the fuck outta here, okay? Now!" He started raising his voice, his hands shaking slightly.

"No, Sebastian. Are you in trouble? Should I go tell him that you aren't here?"

"No! You just have to go, okay? He's dangerous Lexi!" His voice slightly cracked, fear overtaking his body.

Before I could say anything else, a loud bang sounding from the door caught our attention. I turned around to see Damien Castillo and his posse walking quickly towards us. Sensing this, Sebastian quickly grabbed my wrist, and pushed me behind him.

"Hello Sebastian. It's been awhile hasn't it? I think the last time I saw you, was when you promised me the 2 million dollars that you owe me. So let me ask you, Sebastian. Where. The. Fuck. Is. My. Money?" He asked so lowly, I cowered away in fear, as a small whimper escaped my lips.

"I've almost got all of the money, ok? I just need another month and I-" Sebastian was cut off by a gun being pointed straight at him. A loud gasp escaped my lips, as I tightened my grip that was on Sebastian's arm.

"Oh, well Sebastian, you never told me how pretty your little girlfriend was! My god, she's lovely isn't she boys? Might take her all for myself after your through with her-" Damien was Soon cut off as Sebastian landed a punch on his nose. A deafening crack was heard in the small, dark alley.

I let out a short and sharp scream as Sebastian was tackled to the ground. I ran after the boys rolling on the floor, trying to break them up, well more like try and get Damien off of Sebastian.

"Hey! Get off of him you psycho!" I screamed at Damien, as tears rolled down my eyes at this situation.

I was abruptly pulled back into someone's arms, dragging me away from the scene in front of me.

"Sebastian!" I shouted to Sebastian. I saw him look up at me, his expression full of anger, as he tried running towards me, but failed as Damien tackles him to the ground, resulting in them fighting again.

I was suddenly thrown to the floor, the wet concrete grazing against my fair skin, small puddles splattering all over me. Great, now my new dress is ruined.

Wait-not the time Alexandra.

"Hey! Don't touch her!" I heard Sebastian call out to the boys as they neared me.

A sudden burst of energy, filled with fury at what they were doing to Sebastian, filled my body as I kicked Cory's crowned jewels as he rolled on the floor groaning. I quickly stood up and pulled my arm back, before throwing a punch to David's cheek. Pain overcome my hand as I shook all of the pain off me, before running towards Sebastian.

I grabbed Damien by his collar, taking him by surprise. Once again, bracing myself for the impact, I swung my fist onto his cheek as his head turned to the side.

"You bitch!" He yelled at me, slapping me across the face, so hard I fell onto the ground once again. I sat up, looking him dead in the eye in anger, as Sebastian was about to punch him, he stopped at my words.

"Ok well now you've seriously pissed me off. You just ruined my brand new dress, asshole!" I shouted at Damien as I kneed him in the groin. He fell to the ground, rolling around in pain.

I quickly grabbed Sebastian's arm as we ran out of the alley. I rang Evie on the way out, trying to clear my cloudy vision, filled with tears.

Voicemail, great.

"Nic texted me earlier, they went home early" Sebastian panted next to me, as we came to a stop outside of a small, rundown cafe.

"What the fuck just happened Sebastian? That guy pulled a gun on you! And wait, you owe him 2 million dollars? What the fuck Sebastian? Then you got hurt, and don't, even get me started on him ruining my new super cute dress. To say I'm pissed is an understatement. And that slap really hurt, shit" I finished of my rant as I suddenly felt the stinging on my cheek, to high on adrenaline to care about the pain earlier.

"I'm sorry he hurt you. I-I tried to help, really I did, but he's a professional underground fighter, Lexi, and I'm just a beginner, I'm so sorry I couldn't save you. God your brothers gonna kill me!" He groaned in frustration.

"No, it's fine, don't worry. Wait what? Underground fighting? And why can't you just ask your dad for the money? Wait, what do you even need the money for anyway?" I asked him a million questions, as I could see his eyes widen in realisation to what he just said.

"Look, I'll tell you everything later ok? Let's just get a taxi back to my penthouse ok?"

I quickly nodded, as the night was getting colder. We quickly got inside a taxi and sat down, as Sebastian told the driver his address.

Well we're in for a long night for the conversation we're about to have.

Chapter 6 of Social Casualty is here! Bit more drama going down on this one, with a bit more of info on Sebastian! I hope you enjoy it!
