Butler Shawn had already told Damien the night before that he should just go to school this morning and he would have to take him to his new assigned duty that day when he came back since they were unable to get it done the day before.Damien said nothing about the slap that the girl in red gave him in the hospital hall. He doubted if Butler Shaw could have done anything about it anyway. Since he did not want to cause the man any more grief from the lady, he simply kept his mouth shut as the girl glared at him when they joined Butler Shawn outside again. It was as if she was daring him to say anything.Damien did not take the bait and the girl pushed him out of the way as she entered her car. “Be grateful that the nurse said it was just a sprain and thank your poor head that I am in a good mood today if not you will rot in jail for this!” she snapped as she started her car gingerly with her wrapped hand. “Don’t you dare think that this is over!” she said as she winced at the pain.“An
“You what?” Sky laughed out loud on their way to the basketball tryouts when Damien told him about what he saw that morning.Damie, who only wanted to know why the two of them would react that way gave Sky an askance look when the latter bent over in his joy.“You…you mean you caught them in the act? Damn, of course, they would act weird. I bet those two are cheating!”“Cheating? Cheating what?” Damien asked in confusion as he still did not understand what Sky was talking about. He knew that as a student, you were not allowed to cheat in class but then why would HG Salem or the cook cheat when they were not students?Sky curbed his laughter when he saw the confused look on Damien’s face. “It is like this, I am sure that those two are married and from logical deductions, they have to be married to different partners, or wait…has anyone ever told you that those two are a couple?”Not that they talked to him directly about things like that anyway but then Damien had never heard them sayi
Damien got into the basketball team; at least he got the opportunity to come for the tryouts, all to the displeasure of the team and many others. “Ashton was not going to like this” was the main litany on their lips. Mr Bruce, a new coach, just resumed work that semester after the last coach was dismissed by the school board due to a complaint from a student whose mother happened to be part of the board. Mr Bruce still didn’t know how the school system works or it could be that he choose not to let their ways affect him as he insisted on doing what he felt was right for the students. All the team’s protests seemed unfounded without any tangible reason and he dismissed them as he allowed Damien to join the team. If he could pass the tryouts of course. Jax Meyer thought the same as well and Sky automatically approved that Damien would be a great addition.
Damien would have laughed out loud at Sky’s expression when he peaked out from beneath his paint-drenched eyelids before he quickly shut his eyes again. Especially when the latter wanted to rush over to Damien and he was also conscious of splattering his white sneakers with the pool of red paint that looked more like congealed blood on the floor.Yes, it would have been hilarious if he was not drenched in the same paint that threatened to choke him as he felt it dried up beneath his nose, over his closed eyelids, the weight weighing down his ruined uniform. Spitting mad was an understatement of what he was feeling at the moment.Helios' statement sparked his fury more and he could feel the invisible Ring of Origins heated up on his finger and a desire to unleash all it could do on these idiots, his sense heightened and he could hear the bastards that drenched him as they hooted down the hallways as they left the building.Those idiots. “He would get them good” the threat rang true and
“What happened to you?” Damien’s head jerked towards the direction where the querying voice came from and he sighed inwardly when he saw that it was the tawny-eyed girl.What is she doing here now? Her timely appearance reminded him of the girl called Morgan and he wished she would just leave him be because he was in no mood to be civil to anyone!He was about to pass her by when she snapped at him “I am talking to you!” she yelled in a tone he had never heard her use with him before. The “I am the head girl and you have to listen to me” tone.Well, that was it!“I heard you. I do not want to answer you” he replied as civilly as he could and he gave no damn that her eyes widened a bit.She looked around as if expecting someone then looked back at him “Who did this to you?”What did she want with him? She was one of the reasons for his trouble after all. He thought in anger before he shrugged nonchalantly. He wanted to pass her by again but then she held his hand.Damien was surprised
Sky lend Damien a spare cloth since the school uniform was beyond repair now. Sky advised him to get under the shower for a hosing down, which did not help much. If nothing else, it made the uniform look like something that had been dragged through a graffiti war and back.Michael was not around at The Abode when Damien followed Sky home and he didn't wait long after getting spare clothing to change into. Sky talked about getting him a new uniform and Damien agreed that getting spare ones would help especially now that it would be hard to put on the one that had been dealt many blows already. The clothes were given to Solara and she promised to do her best to get them cleaned up. Throwing all caution to the wind, Damien activated his teleporting mechanism and in no time, he was at the edge of the Macmillan’s property. He made himself visible and he walked briskly to the house. He did not attempt to greet those on the porch at all since he knew they wouldn’t answer him anyway.“Did yo
“Just follow me and stop acting like an idiot” Sonia snapped at Damien after Smith had zoomed off in his car.Damien wiped off the blood on his mouth. The slight pain infuriated him as he followed the girl. Do they have to put him amid their issues? He wondered in amazement then he looked up in surprise when the girl shut the door firmly in his face.What now? Was he supposed to follow her or wait for her out here? He wondered as he looked around and then back at the shut door. He decided to open the door before he got scolded but his hand barely grazed the door before it was jerked open again.He hurriedly moved back as the girl glared at him then she threw her limited edition bag hard at his chest before she strutted past him on the way to her car.Da
Damien could check the meaning of a tour guide on his phone when the girl was not paying him much attention. Just as Sky had taught him to check on Google, he typed: What is a toor guard?After many wrong trials, he finally got a person employed to show tourists around places of interest.What? He wondered in apprehension. No wonder Andrea had told Sonia that he did not know anywhere. He wished Sonia had listened because how was he supposed to take her anywhere when he only knew a few places himself? He thought in panic. It did not take long before he realised that Sonia did not need him to take her anywhere after all.She did need him but only as a pack mule. Damien regretted ever twisting the girl’s ha
