"Cressida, no one is allowed there right now!" "Whatever!" "Cressida I am telling you to stop, for God's sake!"
I expeditiously turned around and came face to chest with the one and only, Damien. I had to crinkle my neck from the back in order to look at his face which had a frown. I folded my arms at my chest and narrowed my eyes at him, indicating him to say whatever he wanted to.
"Cressida, why are you so stubborn? I am telling you that you are not allowed there. No one is." He stated while pushing his hands into his black jean's pockets at the front. Now it was my turn to frown.
"Why are you so heartless? I think you forgot that just yesterday my brother was ferociously killed in the library and all that the staff of this academy did or will be doing is arranging a funeral for him! Not even our parents are informed about the death of their only son! No investigations are in process. My God! I cannot believe it! Are you all people even humans? Oh sorry, I forgot. We are 'Diamonds' but one thing you people forgot to mention is that you all are 'heartless' Diamonds that may look good from the outside but are completely emotion less from the inside!" By the time I was done, my lungs were dying for the oxygen.
Damien just kept on looking at me as if I had just pulled out his brain and placed it in his hands. After staring for at least two whole minutes, he suspired out loud and then ran a hand through his thick and glassy hair.
"Look, I understand what you are feeling right now..." I tried to interrupt but he simply increased his voice level and continued, "but first you need to know what you are doing. You don't even know about how to control your powers neither you know what kind of powers you have. Do you have any idea that like this you can hurt others? People's lives are on risk just because of you!"
I tried to digest his words. I let out a frustrated sigh and when was about to turn again towards the study, Damien roughly grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him, into his hard chest.
I placed my hands on his chest to create some distance between us but he didn't even budge. His eyes were filled with frustration and little anger was there too, behind the grayish-blue orbs.
