Damian needed to speak to his father because he couldn't stop thinking about what Anya had said.

He picked up the phone and dialled his house number, which was answered by his butler Jeeves

"Good day, Desmond residence" Jeeves spoke into the phone

"Jeeves, good day, It's is Damian, Is it possible for me to meet with my father?" Damian made a statement.

" I'd need to enquire about Lord Donavon's availability." Butler Jeeves replied.

He reappeared after a long interval.

"He's available to meet with you today at 5 p.m., but he requested to keep it short since he has a meeting," Butler Jeeves said over the phone.

Damian thanked Jeeves before hanging up the phone.

"That bastard," Damian exclaimed aloud, "could he truly care less?"

Ewen let out a sigh, Emile glanced at Damian with worry

Becky was waiting for Anya as she entered the classroom.

"Hey," Anya replied as she sat next to her.

"Are you looking forwards to the trip tomorrow?" Becky asked.

"Oh, that's tomorrow, I completely forgot about that." Anya was terrified, how could she forget something so important, she was in a group with Damian too she needed to make plan C a success

not a moment too soon Damian bursted into the classroom with his two companions

"someone seems salty" Becky says crossing her arms over her chest

Anya made the decision to read his mind. 'I was able to secure an appointment with him, but how can he be so self-centered?'

'Is Damian going to tell his papa?!' Becky observed Anya's excitement and commented on it.

"What's the matter with you? that delighted that Desmond is here?" Becky remarked with a smirk, 'I let you keep believing that Becky' Anya thought grinning

"Yes, indeed! really happy "Anya remarked, her hands clasped together, a sheepish grin on her face.

Becky burst out laughing. "You may have chosen the worst boy possible to fall in love with, but I'll support you" She whispered putting a hand on Anya's shoulder reassuringly

"Students, I ask that you please settle into your Field trip groups, as you all know the trip is tomorrow, you will need to be here on school premises at 6am," Mr Henderson said as he stepped in front of the class, clearing his throat to proclaim his presence.

Damian had a lot of his mind he sat across from Anya, beside Emile clicking his pen

"Desmond? we need someone to take charge" Becky said, snapping at him for being out of it

"hmm? Sure, I'm up for it." Damian, who had been awakened from his thoughts, responded to Becky,

'Sy-on boy is very out of it.' Anya pondered, worriedly staring at Damian.

"Great, it's settled" Becky said, everyone returned to what they were organising

'What do I say to him?' Damian was deep in thought about his meeting with his father

"You may take  a short break if you must" Master Henderson announced, Anya stood up

"Come with me, Sy-on." Anya took his hand in hers and yanked him out of his seat, then released as he stood up.
