Define Me

Chapter 5

Damien POV

I don't mind running a few laps during PE since I need it anyway but I can't seems to stop noticing her. She and her cousin are in the same PE class with me but while everyone admire the blonde hair girl's model figure and pretty face, I had my eyes on the onyx hair, Sirena. After the night my family had a dinner at the Crawford's place, I can't stop thinking about her. She was like a timid scare animal yet I knew fear when I see them but after the fight that day, I didn't saw them in her doe eyes. No, she was more curious about the fight but didn't ask anything and from the way she avoiding looking at people's eyes, I know she didn't ask anyone about it either.

 Mr. fatty Finn has ordered us to ran around for 5 times after warming up and I eyed on him suspiciously. There was rumor saying that he's a pervert but there's not much of a prove. The first lap everyone ran in a group, too lazy to speed up but then Mr. Finn start barking with his fat cheeks, majority speed it up, except her. I passed her twice and notice that she was slowing down and was breathing heavily. Her cousin, instead of helping or ask her if she was okay, just laugh at her and called her a loser. What a helper.

When I finished, I didn't stop until I was jogging beside her and I don't fucking know why I was concern about this girl. 

"Hey, you okay?" I asked and again, she slightly jump when I or anyone suddenly talk to her. She nods as she is too breathless to speak. I knew right there that she has asthma. "How many more laps to go?"

She held up a finger; one more lap yet she already breathing like she just ran a mile away. 

"You can stop if you can't finish. Just tell Finn you have asthma." I said as I notice the majority of the students have finished running. She shook her head no as she continue to run even when she was getting short on breath. I caught a glimpse of Jared and James aka the devil twins, just look at me with a huge question mark on their face. I have never been this concern except towards my family but I just can't leave this girl alone so for the first time I, Damien Lennington, accompany a girl until she finishes her run. Fuck. I wonder what they'll say about this. Nah, fuck them.

Once she finished her laps, she slowed down before she stopped and placed her hands on her knees so she can catch her breath. I just stood there and wait for her. Unlike the other girls, she dressed in a long-sleeve PE shirt with a long track bottom and braided her long black hair loosely on one side. For almost a week, I notice her and she's not a shy person but more keeping things to herself. Neither a nerd nor one of those queen bitch. I can't put my finger on what she is yet, only her 'dead' eyes.

That first day, the moment I saw her brown eyes, there was barely light. Call me delusional or whatever but I know she doesn't want to involve with any shits in school which made her to outcast herself. It makes me wonder why. I mean she's beautiful with that midnight hair, doe eyes and full lips. She's one and a half foot shorter than me, almost pale skin and just small frame but not too skinny. She is as normal as any teenager in school but why does she look like she not living it?

And why do I bother by the way?

"Hey you, new girl." I heard Mr Finn called her and her body tensed in alert. "You're the last one to finish. Do you think you could get away from that?"

Despite being a PE teacher, Mr Finn still got some fats under his skin and when his eyes roam on her from head to toe, I saw what a man's lust. Like it was an instinct of mine, I block his path and sight, preventing him from getting closer to her. "You should ask if she's alright first, sir because she has asthma." 

Finn blinks at my sudden interruption while I notice the students are looking at us now. I was known for the bad one since I fought in school and literally sent them to the hospital. Dad was disappointed at my actions yet he advise me to keep it minimum. It's not entirely my faults though. They messed with me first so I took action before I could say what's in my head.
