The sky was dreary, the temperature awful. I sighed as I walked over to Sebastian Smythe's house for French lessons that my parents forced me to take. To make things worse he wasn't very likable either. His constant flirting with my best friend Blaine was enough to make me throw something at him.

I would much rather be working on my solo for regional instead of being here with him. I wish that I could ditch, but my mother would phone him to check if I was really there. No matter how much I protested, my mother refused to let me take lessons somewhere else. She had known the Smythe's for years, they all went to some or other prestigious university together and she was thrilled when Mrs Smythe offered her son's help.

Believe me his reaction was the same as mine.

I stopped outside the enormous Smythe residence and took a deep breath. Sebastian's parents weren't there, although that didn't surprise me as they never were. I rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open up. Sebastian finally opened the door and stared at me. He was still in his Dalton uniform.

"What are you doing here Y/N?" he asked, "Come to check out the competition?" he smirked.

I glared at him. "It's Tuesday, remember?"

He groaned audibly and moved to the side to let me in. "Wait down here, I just got home."

I stepped across the threshold with my arms folded over my chest.
"Y/N!" Sebastian called from upstairs and I walked up as slowly as I could.

I pushed open the door to Sebastian's bedroom and found him sitting on his bed with a pile of French related notes next to him.

"Do we really have to do this?"

"What else do you have in mind?" Sebastian smirked staring at my short dress.

"My eyes are up here Sebastian. I don't even do this stupid subject at school. My parents just want me to sound fancy."

" Arrêtez de pleurnicher, il est très inconvenante."

"What?"

"Nevermind,"

"It isn't enough that I can speak fluent Japanese, but no I have to learn French." I say and plonk myself down on his bed.

"Well, I don't really want to do this either. So, how's preparation for regionals going?" he asks, nonchalantly.

"No way, Smythe, my lips are sealed. But I will tell you this: I'm getting a solo." I say, proudly.

"Well, you're going to lose. We all know you're no Rachel Berry,"

"Thanks for the reminder, but at least better than you."

"I highly doubt that," Sebastian says and chuckles.

"Anything you can do I can do better! I can do anything better than you!" I say and poke his chest.

"I was bet-" Sebastian silences me by crashing his lips into mine. I melt into the kiss, before I come to my senses.

"It's getting late, I should go." I say, and turn to walk away. Sebastian grabs my hand and pulls me into an embrace.

"Anything you can sing, I can sing better. I can sing anything better than you." He whispers to me and sways us.

"No, you can't." I say, pushing myself out of his arms and rush towards the stairs.

"Yes, I can!" He calls out.

"No, you CAN'T!" I call out and slam his front door.
