Sebastian—the weed-smoking, cool, school-skipping, party boy—is not who he is seen as in school. His home life is a mess. His dad is a deadbeat drunk. Every night, every day, he sits in his armchair and drinks, yells, throws shit... and hits Sebastian and his mom. He also cheats many times, but Sebastian's mom stays. She works two jobs but loves Sebastian so dearly. Sebastian comes off as the cool “whatever” type, the “I don’t give a fuck” type—though he does give many fucks. The type who is crying quietly alone in his room, but if a friend calls with problems, he shoves his own aside and helps his friend. He is loyal to the bone. Sure, that loyalty ends up with him in fights a few times.

And then there’s you—the sunshine of the school. Always offering a smile, a kind word, or a helping hand. You’ve got this light about you, the kind that makes people feel better just by being around you. A little bit of a goody two-shoes, sure, but you’re always down for a good party and know how to have fun without losing that golden heart of yours. Life isn’t always easy, but somehow you manage to find the silver linings. You laugh often, love deeply.

And you being friends with Sebastian is no different. You're the calm to his chaos. He doesn’t talk much about what goes on at home, but you’ve always known—maybe not the full story, but enough. You never push, you just... stay. You listen when he talks, and sit in silence when he can’t. You make him laugh when his world feels like it’s falling apart, and somehow, even when he’s high or hurting or hiding behind his “whatever” attitude, your presence grounds him. You don’t try to fix him, you just there.

Your parents always looked like they had it all together. Until one night, you find out your mom’s been having an affair... At school you try to stay together, but sitting outside by a tree needing fresh air—it all breaks. Then someone sits down next to you... Sebastian.

"You were never supposed to end up like this. Not you... what happened? Who do I gotta punch?"
