The Heartache He Gives

Chapter 6

(Unedited)

Earth science is my least favorite class as I already said but I don't know how many times I need to repeat myself until I feel it's enough to express how much I truly despise it

I'm currently sitting down, bored half to death to whatever Mr.Tanner is saying, Omar isn't here today and I'm really hoping today's class consist on nothing about this stupid project, I wouldn't know not one single thing on what to do

We've only been 5 minutes in this class and I'm already falling asleep, you see what I mean? I told you I would regret not taking those 10 minutes of sleep because classes like these will make me regain those minutes here very quickly

My hand is obtaining my head for support the only comfortable position I seem to find as I keep blinking rapidly to get rid of the stinging pain that is irritating me to the core but of course that doesn't seem to work one bit and soon enough my eyes begin to flutter close and my arm couldn't sustain being up any longer

As I was about to let the sleep fully consume me the extremely loud sound of the door suddenly opening awakes me and makes me jump back to the slightest, the noise catching me by total surprise, everyone's eyes go towards the disturbance and the room becomes quiet

Damien then walks in, his jaw clenched and nose flared, he seems angry..really angry, you could easily feel his wrath radiating from him, his presence alone makes you feel small and fearful and the way he seems so irritated today makes you feel worse-makes me feel worse, I'm not sure about the others

Mr.Tanner try's to speak to him, trying to get an answer as to why he doesn't have a tardy note but it's as if he cant even hear him or he's probably just completely ignoring him, he sits in his seat and looks straight ahead at a wall

The teacher leaves the conversation there and continues what he was saying, he too gets annoyed and changes his tone into a more serious one, my eyes go towards Damien and he seems to be deep in thought, day dreaming, he's leaning back on his chair, his legs parted and his arm hanging loosely on one leg while the other is by his side

When he catches me staring I try to look away quickly but stay mesmerized by his eyes, his eyes hold nothing, as if he's masking everything he feels and the only thing that helps you figure his mood out is his furious features

"Lilian and Damien will you come here for a second" Mr.Tanner voice brings us both to look at him as I'm first to stand up and go while Damien rolls his eyes and reluctantly comes along a few feet away from me, enough to let me breath

"Omar has seemed to transfer to a different school just yesterday and that leaves you, Lilian, alone on this project.."

what!?

I know not one thing about this stupid subject and I'm now working alone on it? how will I ever get it done without help from someone who actually knows about this stuff?

"...but..." he says and my eyes look at him in new hope that he has a solution to this big problem , wait so why is Damien here?what does he have to do with this?...unless..oh no

"This is a partnered project so I will pair you up with Damien" the news makes my heart falter, I don't think he likes me as much even though I've never talked to him but then again according to what Sarah said I don't think he likes anybody

"What!?I do not want to be partnered with this-this tramp!" He says and I gulp at the name I've never been called before

"Watch your mouth or you WILL be sent to the principal" Mr.Tanner says a vein sticking out on his forehead due to his restrainment to not yell and disturb the class any further
