Hey guys I haven't updated in a while like usual but another chapter is finally here. Yayyyyy. Enjoy.

"Can you drive me home today?" I asked Damon as we walked out the school. It's been a week since the event with Brandon and me in the cafeteria happened. He hasn't done anything to get back at us. But that doesn't mean that I'm just going sit back wait for him. Nope.

"Yea. No problem" he said as he pulled out his car keys. We walked over to his car and got inside. The car ride over to our houses was kind of silent. There was some small talk but he said he was going through something with his mom and I didn't want to pry. Fortunately, he turned on the radio so there wasn't a complete silence.

As we pulled up into the driveway we share in between our houses I started to unbuckle my seatbelt. " Can I come in and hang out for a while" Damon asked unbuckling himself as well. " Yea but not for long because I have to babysit in like five hours and you know I need like three hours to get ready." "Unless you wanna come and keep me company" I said in a singsong voice, half joking half serious.

I babysit on the side along with my other job. I work as an H&M's representative. Damon and I both work at H&M but he's a cashier.
The babysitting was just for some side cash. Damon does some extra side jobs but I don't like to talk about it. It's illegal stuff and it gets me angry that he would do anything to put himself in danger. It's just so stupid and he doesn't even see it.

"Umm. Okay. I don't have any other plans" he said while going around the front of the car to open my side of the door. "Really?" I said as I looked at him like he had another head. He opened it and I walked out holding my purse and jacket. " I mean yea why not." I thanked him and slugged my way to the house as I just wanted to go and plop on my bed.

We got inside and went straight to my bedroom. My room isn't anything special. The walls were coated with a light purple paint. My bed was to the right of room paired with a white nightstand placed next to it. The desk was opposite of my bed, papers scattered everywhere from cramming in all the homework they give on first two weeks of school. Even though it didn't look like it now but inside I was still the little goodie I was a year ago.

I had a bathroom inside my room but it was painted white with turquoise accents decorating the wall. It was a full bathroom with a shower, toilet, tub, sink, counter and some small other details a bathroom has. The bathroom was my favorite room because if you were taking a shower or just sitting on the floor no one would come in. When you're in there you actually have privacy.

Unless your with Damon because he'll just come right even if your naked. He literally has no shame and doesn't even care that I might actually be naked. But he'll just look away. He can be annoying sometimes but he is always somewhat of a gentleman. That's Damon for you but he's a great friend and I wouldn't have asked for anyone different.

He came inside and plopped on the bed with me. We laid there for a couple minutes in silence before Damon started talking. "So what do you wanna do?"

"I don't know maybe watch a movie on Netflix or something."

"Yeah that's sounds good. We should watch The Fosters" he said moving his head to look at me. The Foster was one of Damon's favorite shows. I never really like it but I didn't exactly hate it. But I'll watch it for Damon.

" Ugh I'll get the popcorn and drinks." I got up and headed downstairs to get the snacks.

After I got everything I checked off in the little checklist I had in my head.
Popcorn CHECK
Drinks CHECK
Candy CHECK
Blankets CHECK
I made my way to the stairs but a white envelope in Damon's jacket that had my name on it caught my eye. It had my name on it, I couldn't just pass it up. I tiptoed over there even though he was all the way upstairs. I put the blankets and snacks on the couch next to the coat rack. I picked up the envelope and it had the sticky part still on it so he must've not sealed it yet. I looked in and there was a paper and a gold necklace. Was it a present? As the thought passed in my mind I put it down because I didn't want to ruin the surprise if it was. I picked up the things on the couch and made my way upstairs.
