Twisted Fate

The Plan

Damien's POV-
I quickly went downstairs as I didn't want to upset my father. The dinning table was filled with mouth watering food items and expensive drinks. None of them bringing happiness to my soul. I just wanted this dinner to get over. I pulled out a chair on lest to my father and on his right was sitting my mother. "Good evening father." He just nodded. I hate him for this. At least give some response. But no one can tell father to do something. Not even his own wife. By the look on his face, this is going to be one hell of a dinner.

"Chto sluchilo's postavkoy na proshloy nedele?" [Translation: "What happened to the shipment last week?"] Fuck!!
I was not ready for this. "E-e neskol'ko zapasov byli povrezhdeny." [Translation: "Uh, few of the stocks were damaged."]
"Pochemu menya ne proinformilovali?" [Translation: "Why was I not informed?"]
"YA dumal, chto smogu spravit'sya s etim" [Translation: "I thought I could handle it."] I said with confidence.
"And?" He asked curiously.
"Nam udalos' ostledit' chevoleka, kotorry eto sdelal." [Translation: "We were able to get track of the person who did this."]
"Vy znayete, chto delat'dal'she." [Translation: "You know what to do next.]
I nodded. Few minutes later I greeted my parents and went to my room. The minute my head touched the pillow I was sound asleep.

I was walking towards my history class when I saw a poster of Winter Dance. Damn! This year ended so quickly. I wonder whom shall I ask for the dance. Then an idea struck me. I can ask Lia out.

By the time I reached the class my professor was already there. I went to my seat and started thinking about the ways I can ask her out. I am not the type of guy to ask people out. Maybe I can ask her out with some flowers and chocolates. Wait! What am I thinking? Damien Calloway asking a girl with flowers and chocolates?! You've got to be kidding me. Think of some better idea.
Maybe I can take her out on a date and ask her there? But won't that be too much? Asking her like a normal will do I guess. Otherwise she might suspect me. I can ask her in the school premises. During school hours. We have Literature class together. Maybe I can ask her there. Or maybe I can ask her in front of the whole school. So that even Marco can hear her answer. I never thought I will be thinking about the ways to ask a girl out.

I was startled when I heard a hand slam on my desk. It was my professor. "Damien, tell me. Which civilisation lies between river Tigris and Euphrates?" Fuck! I didn't read the assignment given last night. "Answer me fast. We don't have all day."
"We'll I need time to think." I snapped. "You will get your time in detention." I grabbed my bag and left. This is the main reason I don't like history nor my history professor.

I met Sebastian on my way there. I filled him on all the details of my plan. "Do you think she will agree to go to the dance with you? I mean she is popular. I bet most of the guys are on their knees to ask her out. She can have any guy she wants. Why do you think she will choose you?" Shoot! I never thought about that. Well I guess I'm very used to hearing an affirmative answer that I never thought about it. "We can try." I had to try. I cannot back down on the challenge. And this is the only way I can think of right now. I have to win this challenge. It costs my reputation.

Lia's POV-
It was Monday morning. I was shocked when my father asked me about how my studies were going when he called me in his office on Saturday evening. I think there is a hidden reason behind that question. But whatever it is I will search it later. My big problem was how to make Damien fall for me. I thought of the plan over the weekend and it's the best I could come up with for the time being. First we will be friends, then we will build trust and then make him commit to me. In other words, friends, trust, commitment. On my way to the class I saw the poster of Winter Dance. I thought about asking Damien out but there was no way in hell he would go to the dance with me. As I was walking towards the class I caught up with Ariana. I told her about my plan and she squealed in excitement. I could tell by the look on her face that she was so ready for this challenge.

We entered the class. It was Chemistry period and the teacher had not yet arrived. I got bored and wanted to do something crazy. I was eating chewing gum and an idea struck me. I went towards the teacher's chair and placed my half chewed chewing gum in the centre of her seat. I quickly went back as I heard the teacher entering the class. Everyone saw what I did. The teacher entered and sat in the chair. The fun will begin. When she tried to stand up she couldn't. Everyone started laughing. When she realised what happened her expression changed into pure anger. She started demanding answers. Everyone went silent. But out of no where Skylar spoke "Teacher, it was Lia. She was eating the chewing gum. She even has the wrapper on her desk." Shoot! I totally forgot about the wrapper. I quickly grabbed it but the teacher had already seen it. "LIA! DETENTION! NOW!!" She scolded. I stood up and left without giving a fuck. I didn't give a fuck about Chemistry. I always aced it. I reached the class and entered. There I saw the last person I wanted to see.
