Chapter 16 :}

We're midway through the film and Damien is repeatedly throwing popcorn towards a 'target head' as he calls it. He'd missed sixteen times in a row. He finally pinged the head and I stifled a laugh as we sunk down quickly. He peered back up and swore under his breath chuckling. I looked over, it was Low. He looks pissed off until he realises who threw it and he just rolls his eyes at Damien, then his eyes fall on me and he smirks. Damien notices, he knew that I wasn't that found of Low, without knowing what he'd done. He stretches and does the typical cheesy yawn, flopping his arm on my shoulder.  Low was still looking over at us, and he looks pissed. 

"Whys he staring at you?" Damien whispers.

"I was just about to ask you that." I lie. Low was just messing around and trying to piss me off more than he already had. This wasn't the time to tell Damien.

"He's jealous." I peer at Damien in the dark cautiously...does he know?

"I know he wants a girlfriend. Or to get...well that. But he gets too caught up in all the attention he gets and never makes it to the relationship point."

I focus back on the film, trying to ignore Low's glances. They get more and more frequent and Damien's getting annoyed. He pulls me closer to him (we were on one of those joint couple seats). He holds my chin and tilts my face to his, kissing me slowly. I was enjoying the film but he was better, I tried to forget that Low was probably watching this. 

"Giving him something to be jealous about." He murmers and scoots me onto his lap. We makeout for the rest of the movie. When the lights come up we're both breathless and a bit stunned. I hope Jumanji 2 was good because I really couldn't tell you. He takes my hand and pulls me out to the foyer. 

"You two really don't stop do you?" We don't need to turn to know who it is. I just laugh at him as Damien spins us both around.

"I'm just saying...get a room."

"We were in one, in the dark, out of sight..you were the only one gawping buddy." Damien says squeezing me.

"I.." There wasn't really any good answer he could think of so we took his silence as a good time to leave, with him still stood there. We step out and he leads me around the corner, in any other circumstance being in a dark corner would freak me out, but I'm not paying any attention to it.  He picks me up so I'm straddling him and starts kissing me again. I smiled into his lips as he backs me up into the wall. My phone vibrates..awkward time for a vibration.

"Sorry..." I mumble awkwardly clambering off him and pulling my phone out of my pocket.

Nice attempt at making me jealous, Poppins;)

My entire body fills with anger and I can feel my face showing it.

"Someones annoyed you who is.." He glances down at my screen and pulls further back.I swallow my anger to attempt an explanation.

"Why's he text you that." Confusion and anger covers his face, completley different to his expression thirty seconds ago. I swallow, hoping this doesn't come out as babble.

"I should have told you already but I didn't want to upset you and I was really angry. I saw Low earlier...when I said I'd gone out and came back because I felt sick...that was because of him. I was telling him how full of himself he was with all the girls after him... and he just assumed I was within that. Which I am NOT. He started talking about this stupid kiss we had to do in primary school and then said that I'm on his bucket list and loads of gross shit... and then I left and puked in a hedge." His jaw was clenched. 

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner...Bells really likes him, and he's your friend I was really pissed about it."

He was looking at the wall, like he wanted to punch it. I don't know if I should continue talking. I don't know if he believes me. I've never been in this situation.

"Damien?"

"I don't believe this." He's angry.

"He knows how much I like you and yet he still has the nerve to do this shit all over again!" He was yelling and pacing back and fourth. I slump against the wall.

"First it was Bella now you what the hell is his problem."

"Bells?" I interupt, standing up straight again.

"I had the biggst thing for her in secondary for like four years and he swooped on in and ruined any chance I had with her."

I don't know why but I suddenly felt pretty hurt.

"That was then though." He quickly adds, looking back over at me. I nod.

"Romy I'm not angry with you, it's Low..." He softens his voice. I nod again.

"I don't like Bella..you know that too don't you?" He steps closer. She doesn't like being called that. I stay focused on my feet as I reply. 

"Four years is a long time." 

"Like you said...he has all the girls after him, Bells included, so when we were paired up in school and you mentioned how annoying you found him, it fit. You know?" I can't hide the hurt and scowl combination that appears on my face. He's head over heels for Bells for four years, finds the one girl that isn't after Low and settles. He was stood infront of me, his hand pressed against the wall next to my head. He was lowering his forehead to mine. I duck from under his arm and hover at the pavement.

"You've made me sound like the best of a bad situation when you couldn't get the girl you actually wanted. I was the only one available to you so you settle? That's as belittling as Low putting me on his list because I'm the only one whose not after him." My arms are raised in the air and I let them slap my sides as I start walking away. 

"Romy!" He yells at me, crossing the road but I turn and tell him, sternly, not to follow me.
