The Boy In Class

New Friend

I didn't know how, it was all a pack of rubbish, but I guess it was just my luck. Damien squeezed his result and threw it in the bin without the teacher noticing. "Go and pick that back now" I told him. "Who are you to tell me what to do?" He said angrily. I didn't talk to him till the classes were over.

                                                                   DAMIEN'S P.O.V

I wasn't angry with grace. but with myself. For slapping her and for not listening to her, for getting a bad grade and uh. I didn't know how to apologize to her. I was feeling so guilty. Soon, the bell rang and as everyone including the teacher ran out of class, I held Grace's hand. "Grace wait" I told her as she turned to look at me seriously. "Look, am sorry for everything i said and did. Agnes was angry with me for slapping you and saying bad about your mum and am also angry with myself, can you find a place in your heart to forgive me" I pleaded. "I wasn't angry with you but with myself for slapping at first. Thanks for apologizing."Ok, but am not picking that paper" I told her and left. "Your choice, I do that sometimes

As I went looking for Agnes, I saw Autumn crying in a corner. "Autumn, what's wrong" "Wasn't it you and your new bestie Agnes? That told Damien the truth?! Damien told me I was crazy and desperate, he even said I should go down on my knees and plead with you.

I will never plead with a betrayer like you!" She yelled crying bitterly. "Well, why would I accept your fake apology? You broke this friendship because of a boy in class! Why are you so desperate to get what you want" I said, pushing her aside and left angrily. I saw Agnes sitting alone and I ran to meet her. "Agnes, sorry for keeping you waiting, it was Autumn saying a bit of trash, but it's all fine now" I smiled. "Ok" The waitress came to get our orders. "What would you like to eat, beauties?" The waitress said. Did she just call us beauties? Awwwnn

"Well...I would like your strawberries, and one burger

" I ordered as I brought out my water-bottle. "Ok. What about you, dearest?" She turned to Agnes. "Well, I would like two hotdogs,salad ,chicken's laps and a glass of milk. "she ordered. Woah! This girl had all the money! So wish I could be like her. The waitress ran to get our orders. "So, I want to discuss about my brother Damien" she said. The thought of what she wanted to say made my heart dance.

"Ok" I smiled. "Uhm, when did you meet Damien" she asked. The waitress had placed our order on the table and left. "He was a new student in our school" I told her. "Ok, so when he entered, what were your thoughts?" "Uhm. .that there was a new student that it'd be nice if we made him feel welcome" I told her. "Err...didn't you inhale his fragrance? Didn't you dance when Miss said he was gonna be your seat partner? Weren't you angry when she declared Apollo as your partner instead of Damien? Didn't you feel hot when he touched your skin? Weren't you shy when he saw you out of the bathroom dripping wet with my swimsuit on? Weren't you anxious when he carried you in bridal style? Weren't you jealous when he carried autumn the same way? Didn't you lie so you could be with him for the night? I know everything, she winked and continued, didn't - STOP! I yelled at her because her pretty soft voice was making me wanna puke already. "Listen up, I know your feelings about my brother and I actually want that. I want to help you, she told me, just help yourself first" "How do I help myself?" I asked. "By admitting it's all true" She said smiling. "Yes, it's true. That when he joined our class, I was excited and I couldn't stop staring " I admitted. "Wow! That's why I love you dearest besties forever?" She asked. I didn't wanna refuse her and I thought about Autumn. But I rolled my eyes and said: "Forever and ever" I smiled and we laughed together when suddenly, Apollo came towards us. What did he want now? I hope he's not here to tell me about some math quiz.
