The Life of Damon

Chapter 11 -

~~~

I started walking to school. Even with all the mess that is going on I have to still go to school. I wonder if Axel is still planning to get revenge. I wonder if he forgive me because I've been helping him out... maybe we can look for his real parents together—

"What are you thinking about?" I then feel a sharp pain on my forehead. I winced in pain as Axel bursts out laughing. I quickly stopped in my tracks to glare up at him.

"Did you just pluck me?" I rub my forehead still feeling the sting.

"Get any leads on the video?" He changes the subject and ignores me. We both start walking once again.

"We still need money," The hot, burning sun was beaming on us. I had wore some shorts and a t-shirt.

Axel paused for a second. "What about that modeling gig? You think they pay a lot?" He suggested.

"Ohhh, from yesterday?" Good thing I shoved the card in my pocket this morning. "I need to contact them first," I then start digging into my pockets. Wait a second... Why was Axel even asking me about this? "Are you..."

He nervously chuckles then responded with "I was just thinking about it!" He walks a bit faster, leaving me behind.

"Wait up!" I ran after him.

~Josh P.O.V~

I see Jules. I was about to walk up to her when Axel plucks her on the forehead.

Sigh.

~Julie P.O.V~

"He's that guy from the mini market—!"

"He's soo hot—!"

Axel and I sat down. He place an arm over my shoulder. "Sorry girls," He smirks at me. "I'm taken." Was this really his revenge? To pretend we are dating?

"Ugh! I hate that bitch." Girls start talking.

Oh.

I get it. This was his revenge. To get everyone to hate me. Too bad mouth me. It was starting to get to me just a little. The things they would say to me would start to sting.

"Jerk." I got up. He grabs my arm staring up at me in confusion. "Let go of me!" I shouted in anger. He's such a low life. How dare me makes everyone mock me. I only did what I did to better him. To get him to stop. He was changing and to be honest... I was scared of change...

He immediately lets go of my arm and I storm out of the room. I hear people laughing and they start bad mouthing me again.

"AHHH!" I shouted in annoyance. "He's such a jerk! All I did was try and better him!" I start talking to myself.

"Who are you talking about?"

I jump up and see Josh. He smiled at me.

"Why aren't you in class?" I asked him as I smiled.

"I could ask you the same."

I scoffed. He walks closer to me. "What?" He stares at my face super carefully. What was he doing? I stared back at him. Into his eyes. It looked like he wanted to tell me something...

"Be careful." He place a hand and start caressing my cheeks. "I didn't think you would try so hard to find out who posted the video."

What did he mean by that?

He leaves me in shock and walked away.

"Josh—!" I called after him but he disappears in the crowd after that.
