He thought itd be easy.

Stepping back into his place with the Warblers after the whole
Slushie incident hed heard the Warblers appointed another a new leader while he was
gone on probation. He didnt think much of it because after all, all it would take to win
this new kid over would be his charm, smirk, and smiles and hed be putty in his hands
just like the rest of them.
So when Sebastian Smythe entered the Warbler room and was greeted with the cold dark
eyes of an Asian seated front and centered at the head table with Thad and David, he
brushed it off and put on his most charming smile. Almost immediately he saw some of
the boys grin back, completely disarmed.
Suckers.
Can I help you? The Asian asked. Sebastian briefly wondered why the hell he was
holding a gavel. Was this the new leader everyone was talking about?
Sebastian Smythe, captain of the Warblers, Ive just returned from probation. His smile
faltered when the boy continued to stare at him with judging eyes.
Im aware of who you are, Warbler Smythe, but my question still remains unanswered.
His voice was formal and polite but Sebastian couldnt help but feel ice emanate from
every word he spoke. He smiled again, putting in a little smirk this time, why isnt this
working?
Well were having a Warblers practice arent we?
And?
Thats why Im here. Im captain. He spoke matter-of-factly. What was it about this
guy, Sebastian thought, that made him so nervous? That took all his cool, collected charm
in a jar and threw it out a ten-story window? When the boy continued to speak, he could
feel his entire body flush right down to his toes. Who is this guy?
What makes you so certain that youre still deserving of the title after you willingly set
out to harm a fellow Warbler whether or not he be a former member of this group? Once
a Warbler, always a Warbler, that is an age-old saying past down from generation to
generation of Warbler and is honoured to the very word. A true leader of the Warblers
understands the meaning of tradition and the importance to uphold such things with
honour and dignity; something which you clearly lack Mr. Smythe. He released his grip
on the gavel and folded his hands in fro
nt of him, looking back at the young men
sitting spread out along the couches and chairs in the room who had, up until this
moment, been staring wide-eyed back and forth between the two.
Hey, what? C-cmon now, you cant be serious

Quiet. He didnt even spare a glance at the boy as he addressed the group. I, Warbler
Wes, new leader of the Dalton Academy Warblers
Wait, what?
hereby strip Sebastian Smythe of his title of Warbler as well as revoke all privileges
relating to or pertaining to the handling of Warbler affairs including but not limited to
performances, rehearsal schedules, and treasurer duties. If anyone finds fault in my
judgement, please speak now.
The room remained silent. Sebastian swallowed.
Y-you cant do this.
Majority has spoken Mr. Smythe, and you are no longer a member of this group. You
therefore no longer have the authorization to be in this room. Please take your leave.
This is insane; you cant just kick me out! Sebastian snapped. Who the hell do you
think you are, you cant just waltz in here and start barking orders!
David raised a hand to grab hold of the Asian boy as he rose from his seat. Wes quickly
waved him off then walked over to stand with his arms crossed and legs slightly parted in
front of Sebastian, he had picked up his gavel again and now stood holding it tightly in
one hand as he stared daggers at the blond.
Warbler Wesley James Montgomery, senior Councilman and head of the Warblers
Council, newly re-appointed leader of the Dalton Academy Warblers.
Well shit
As a former Councilman of the past two years, I have priority say over anything you say
or do if youd read the Warblers Rulebook, which you obviously have not, youd have
already known that. I therefore have the power to exercise judgement and ruling without
the need of traditional Warbler duelling so long as I receive majority vote. Now as for
you, I suggest you leave. Now. Because as youll soon find out, my title and family name
extends far greater than yours, Sebastian Smythe, and if you should cross mewell, lets
just say that would be a very unwise thing to do.
