The day went by kind of slow. Nobody seemed to actually enjoy themselves due to the uncomfortability they had with the other influencer group being around.
The slow day was coming to an end when Leah walked into her bedroom, plopping down on the bed. She huffed just as Sebastian walked in, hearing the loud groan come from the young female.
"Is everything okay?" Sebastian asked, heading over to plug his phone in which was the reason he walked in.
"No." Leah muttered, sitting up so the male could sit down too. "I don't understand why everyone hates each other. It's not like we actually did something to you guys and vice versa. Unless there's something I don't know about. Is there?"
"I don't think so." Sebastian shook his head, sitting down beside the female.
"Then what is it Seb?" Leah faced the male.
The sudden use of a nickname and the transition caught the male off guard. He stared at her, who was only a couple inches away. Something about the sparkle in her eye as she looked to him for comfort made him blush.
"I...don't know." He cleared his throat, shaking the thoughts out of his head.
Leah groaned as she laid back down aggressively. Sebastian couldn't help but laugh as he found it cute.
"What are you laughing at?!" Leah asked, a cute but angry look on her face.
"Nothing." Sebastian said, making a face of teasing.
"You're no help!" Leah exclaimed cutely.
"Why does it matter to you?" Sebastian asked full of genuinity.
"What do you mean?" Leah sat up, looking at him in a confused manner.
"Our friends getting along." Sebastian explained. "Why does it matter so much?"
Leah looked down as she thought about the question. "We have to live together for a month. Nobody is going to be happy if we're yelling at each other all the time."
"Is that the only reason?" Sebastian asked. He somewhat hoped to hear a different answer.
"Yeah." Leah said, nothing but genuinity and innocence in her eyes.
Sebastian's smile kind of faded. "I'm sure they'll get used to each other eventually."
"I hope so." Leah said before standing up. "Thanks for the chat."
Sebastian wanted to keep the conversation going but Leah was already out of the room. Before he knew it, he found himself asleep; Leah never returning, mostly because she had fallen asleep on the couch.

It was the next day, all the girls went out shopping to film a video and get away from the guys. As for the boys, Sebastian was able to find them all together, except for his brother Oliver who was editing.
"Hey guys, can I talk to you all for a second?" Sebastian got their attention, some that were in the livingroom and some that were in the kitchen.
"Yeah, sure, Seb." Justin spoke. "What's up?"
The boys all gathered in the livingroom to hear Sebastian out, besides Oliver of course.
"I was wondering..." Sebastian felt awkward bringing it up. "Why do you guys really hate the South Side Girls?"
None of the boys were really able to answer right away, except for one.
"Jade is mean!" Darren exclaimed. "She's always messing with me!"
"Maybe she has a crush on you, dude." Regie said.
"That's real funny." Ryan said, jokingly.
"Regie has a point." Justin said. "Some people flirt by teasing."
Darren just stared at the boys. He didn't really know how to take in the information.
"I don't hate them." Kane shrugged. "Nova's kind of cute actually."
"Ohhh~" Regie coo'ed. "Does Kane have a crush~?"
Kane couldn't help but blush but still denied it. "No, I just don't hate her like all of you do."
"I don't hate them!" Justin defended himself. "I never once said that I do."
"Same." Regie agreed. "I haven't really talked to them much but I don't have a reason to actually hate them."
"Ryan, what about you?" Sebastian asked.
Ryan looked at the male. "Angel's cool." He shrugged.
"So you don't hate them either?" Seb looked for an actual answer.
Ryan shook his head to show he didn't.
"So then why can't you guys get along with them?" Sebastian asked.
"We do." Justin responded. "It's mostly just Oli and Lexi."
"And Darren and Jade sometimes." Regie added.
"Hey!" Darren exclaimed. "You haven't exactly gotten along with your roommate either, Regie!"
"What roommate?" Ryan scoffed. "She only sleeps in the livingroom."
"Exactly why I don't really have a reason to dislike them." Regie shrugged. "I haven't experienced much of them, I guess."
"Why does Oli hate Lexi so much, though?" Curious Kane spoke his mind.
"I don't know." Sebastian sighed. "But it's annoying."
"Seb, why are you so passionate about us getting along with them?" Regie asked.
"Do you like Leah?!" Ryan asked.
Sebastian shook his head aggressively. "I just don't have a problem with her, like at all. And honestly, she's expressed the same concerns."
"So you guys are dating is what I'm hearing." Darren said.
"What?! No!" Sebastian exclaimed.
"So you don't find her cute?" Regie raised a brow.
Sebastian stared at the male before cracking into a nervous laugh, causing all the boys to shout.
"You so like her!!" Ryan shouted.
"No!" Sebastian said, not able to keep himself from smiling. "I do think we should consider being friends with them, though."
"Yeah sure okay, Seb." Darren said, using air quotes with the following statement. "Friends."
Sebastian rolled his eyes. "Just consider it, okay?"
"Fine but what about Oli and Lexi." Kane asked. "Our groups can't be friends if they can't stand each other."
"Kane has a point, Seb." Justin said. "Your brother is the one you should talk to about that, not us."
Sebastian realized that and nodded. "Okay, I'll try to talk to him."

Later that evening, Sebastian found his brother making himself some dinner. That's when he decided to talk to him.
"Hey, Oli, can I talk to you about something?" Sebastian started the conversation.
"Of course, bro." Oli said, patting his brother's shoulder. "You can tell me anything. What's up?"
"I wanted to talk to you about the girls..." Sebastian started.
Oli looked at his brother, finding it a bit odd. "Okay...what about them?"
"I was just really curious..." Seb was kind of scared to ask. "Why do you hate them so much?"
Oliver scoffed. "It's not just me bro. All the guys dislike them."
"No, actually they don't." Sebastian snickered. "It's pretty much just you."
"Really?" Oliver asked, keeping his eyes on his meal he was preparing.
"Yeah." Seb responded. "Everyone can get along with their roommate except for you and Lexi, why is that?"
Oliver shrugged, still not looking at his brother. "Just don't."
"But there's gotta be a reason-" Sebastian continued to pry.
"I just don't, okay?!" Oliver shouted, causing Seb's eyes to widen. "Stop asking, okay?"
Oliver walked away with his prepared meal, slamming his bedroom door. Sebastian was so taken aback, he knew there was something Oliver wasn't telling him. But what was it?
