Finding Yourself

Chapter Five

"Your friends seem to be nice, although some are weird." Damian comments as they walk. "Your boyfriend couldn't stop scowling at me and the blonde who was talking to you."

"He's not my boyfriend! I told you, Luka and I would never date. We hate. He's also already made it clear to you that he wouldn't date someone like me." Chloe responds and looks at the boy next to her annoyed. Why the hell does he insist on this idea that Couffaine is her boyfriend?! Never!

"Well, fine. But the two of you seemed very close and a tension exuded from both of you." Damian shrugs.

"That's because the idiot ran me over and knocked me to the ground with everything. I'm all sore!" she says and rubs her back with a dramatic but true groan. She's all sore! "And all this tension you saw was hate and anger. The stupid one knocked me down and still didn't even want to apologize and kept yelling at me, being that he was the one who was in the wrong. Stupid, poorly dressed punk."

Damian laughs. "That's not the tension I was talking about."

"I don't know what you're talking about, but you're wrong." Chloe declares firmly.

"Ah, but I think you know what I'm talking about. But it's okay, I won't insist."

"That's good, because they don't have anything to say." Chloe says nodding in agreement to let the matter go.

"But just to let you know, my grandmother always told me the saying: 'Never say you won't drink from this water, for the next minute you'll be drowning in it.' Or 'Don't spit in the air, if you don't fall on your face.'" Damian comments amused at the girl's denial about not feeling anything for the blue haired boy. "You never know tomorrow Chloe so don't deny something so much because it might come back and bite you in the ass."

Chloe looks irritated and blushing at the boy next to her. She doesn't know what the hell he's trying to say, but he's wrong. There's nothing and there never will be anything between her and Luka Couffaine!

"This is ridiculous, totally ridiculous. And these sayings are also ridiculous. You and your grandma are wrong, this will never apply to me and that idiot blueberry." she declares determined. "I feel nothing but hate and loathing for him."

Liar! Her mind yells at her. Keep lying to everyone and yourself, Bourgeois. But deep down, we both know you're extremely drawn to everything about Luka Couffaine.

Shut up, traitorous mind!

"Fine, but if you later drown yourself from being madly in love with the 'blueberry', don't tell me I didn't warn you." Damian replies mockingly, making quotation marks around the word blueberry.

"You are ridiculous! That will never happen." The boy laughs at the statement and Chloe continues to glare at him. "Where do you want to go?"

She asks, changing the subject. She doesn't want to talk about Luka or anything stupid and totally impossible to happen between her and the rocker.

"I don't know, let's go somewhere quiet where we can have a coffee and talk." Damian answers. "I don't know anything about Paris, so I'll trust you to choose."

"Okay."

She takes him to a small cafe that is close to the boxer gym where she takes classes. The place has become one of her favorites since she started going there just over two weeks ago. She went there after one of her classes, desperately in need of something to eat and some drink, whatever, to give her some energy. The day had been very busy and her night would be no different, the little cafe was very close and she decided to take a chance. She loved it and it became one of her favorites.
