I Feel Nothing

Chapter 8

Stupid Hormones

Damien's PoV

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid hormones! You actually thought he liked you?! Of all the girls in that school or for that matter the world, you thought HE would actually like YOU. HAHA. Stupid hormones.

You're actually really dumb! You thought last weekend that he wasn't attracted to Demusa? That's actually really funny, because if he'd meant it he wouldn't be sucking face with her right now.

To think you were excited to see him and maybe he'd be too. Ha! Well he's excited alright; it has nothing to do with you though.

*plop*

"Well, did you find him downstairs? Does he want to bake cupcakes with us?" Xena asks from the kitchen as I plop down onto the sofa.

"I don't even think I want to bake cupcakes anymore." I grumble.

"WHAT?? After spending the last half hour convincing me why it's a good idea? Why the sudden change?" Xena asks dramatically stomping her way from the kitchen and standing in front of me, with her hands at her hips.

"Hey guys." Xavier says walking through the door.

"Maybe, I just lost my appetite for cupcakes." I say ignoring him.

"What's going on?" Xavier asks walking towards us.

"Nothing, really." I retort.

"Nothing?? You just convinced me why baking cupcakes on a Friday evening with you would be better than going to a cute guy's party." She exclaims.

"Well, now you can do whatever you want." I say sourly.

"Oh, Damien don't be a spoil sport! Let's bake cupcakes." Xavier says sitting next to me and facing me as he throws his arm over my shoulders. He smells really good and I get lost in his eyes and for a second I forget why I was so upset.

"Xavier is that lip gloss on your face?" Xena abruptly queries squinting her eyes at him like she isn't sure..

"What? No. Where?" Xavier asks in a flustered way as he moves his arm from around me and tries to use the sleeve on his jacket to remove the lip gloss.

"And it's the shade that mean girl is always wearing." Xena points out as I grin at how uncomfortable Xavier looks.

"Uh...no?" Xavier says awkwardly, turning to look at me with a guilty expression etched onto his face.

Weird.

"Oooh now it makes sense. Damien must've seen you when---oof!" Xena starts and I see where it's going so I throw a cushion at her and it smacks her in the face.

Xavier then looks at me as his eyes widen, registering that I saw him with Demusa when Xena sent me to ask him if he wanted to bake cupcakes with us.

"I think I'll go clean up. I've got somewhere to be in a bit." Xavier says through almost gritted teeth, as gets up and heads to his room.

"Where are you going?" I ask curiously.

"Must you know everything? Maybe you'll just follow me there."

"Don't flatter yourself." I retort feeling provoked.

"Whatever." Xavier says leaving my line of site.

"Well then, that was..." Xena trails off at a lack of words.

"Rude? Unnecessary?" I offer.

"Well, at least now I know you'll want cupcakes." She tries and succeeds at tempting me.
