The Devil's Son: I Am No Angel

Chapter Nine: School

A familiar song played, immediately, he bolt up from his sleep but his eyes were still close. Blindly, he searched for his phone and then he tapped on the snooze button of his Iphone. Lazily, he climbs out of his king size bed, throwing his blanket to the other side of the bed. With his eyes half opened and half awake, he walks towards the washroom. As he washes his face, he looks up at his own reflection. A smile spread across his face. Damn, I’m handsome! He thought to himself.

As he walks down the stairs, he could hear his father’s voice and Angelica’s voice. Unlike the normal days, where neither his father nor Angelica would be around, today, they are. That must probably because his father thought that he is dying.

‘Damian, you’re awake! Why so early?’ His father asked in a concern tone.

Quickly, Damian ran down the stairs and grabs the piece of toast on his father’s plate. ‘I’ve got to go to school.’ Damian replied like it is the most common thing in the world.

‘Damian! You should rest!’ Tim, his father said.

‘Hey, if I’m really going to die, mind as well have some fun before it happens.’ Damian said it with a smirk. Immediately, his father caught his hand and stopped him. Damian looks down at his father’s concern face and couldn’t speak. Neither of them spoke. But their glares answer it all. Damian look down at his father with a smile spread across his face as his father look at him with concern. And then, his father finally sighed and grinned with an understanding expression. ‘Don’t stay out too late, Damian.’ He said.

‘No promises, pops!’ Damian said as he ran out of the front door with his keys.

Damian got out of his car, a grin spread across his face, the sun shine brightly reflecting his sunglasses. He took it off and tosses it into the car and slammed the door shut. Slowly, he walks towards the same bench where he and his friends would hang out.

‘Sup!’ Jackson said as he gave Damian a fist to fist greeting. ‘Wow, Damian, you seem more…… radiant today. Did something clicked in you?’ Jackson added and snapped his fingers next to his head.

I’ve just realize that I’m dying that’s all. Damian thought. Suddenly, he felt odd. It was like he was happy that he is dying. He shook his head to get that thought off. ‘I’m just thinking of getting a new car that’s all.’ Damian said it with a smirk.

‘What? Which model is it now?’ Tyler asked with an annoyed tone.

‘It’s a secret.’ Damian whispered. Both Jackson and Tyler back off with an annoyed expression. Damian couldn’t help but laugh.

A loud engine roar made Damian shuddered down to his spine in excitement. It isn’t any normal roaring. It’s the sound of Kawasaki ZZR 1400. The fastest motorbike, one of the best of the best and Damian loves it. Damian turns around with excitement as he sees the black Kawasaki moves towards the school parking lot. Behind the beautiful Kawasaki was a huge black Jeep Wrangler moves together with the bike like they were escorts. Damian frowned at that sight.

Both vehicles parked side by side, catching everyone’s attention. The rider on the beautiful Kawasaki stops and took off his helmet. Long beautiful brown hair flow out of the helmet down to her waist, she is not a man, she’s a beautiful lady. She swing her hair back and a beautiful face emerges, the beautiful violet grey eyes, the very same one as the girl in the hospital. Wait, she is the one from the hospital. Damian blinked as he was dumb founded by her presence. Two man got out of the jeep, one of the man is tall and dark, seems like a Mexican while the other was fare and looks like his hair is on fire as the sun shine on it. A red head. Damian thought. When the red head turns around, Damian could see that he have a long scar straight down from his throat to his chest, although his shirt had covered the scar, somehow, it made Damian feel unease. Both of those boys were not only tall, but very much built. It was as though they had come out of a military school.

As for the girl, she slowly pulls off her leather gloves and then unzips her leather jacket, making her seems so much hotter. Damian couldn’t help but grin. Never would he have thought that she had this side of her in her. Immediately, she flings her jacket into the motorbike’s back and walks towards the main door. As she walks, the two men followed her at the back like they were her underlings. As they walk, Damian could feel a different atmosphere from them. They seem so confident and brave, yet, dangerous. Something told him that they can’t be messed with.

Slowly, they were approaching the front door. Next to the front door is where Damian and his friends are. The girl confident walk pass. But she turned to look at Damian for one brief second. Although it was just a second, both theirs eyes lock on to each other and Damian could feel electric shock through his body, leaving a tingling feeling in him. But when her gaze turns towards the person beside him, it was cold and dangerous. It wasn’t only her alone, her friends as well. They all glared at the person next to Damian. Instinctively, Damian turns to see who it was. At first Damian felt a little jealous but their gaze was so cold and dangerous, Damian couldn’t help but shudder a little.

It was Dominic sitting next to him, his expression were bored and uninterested. Damian was shock as he did not realize that Dominic had already arrived and had been sitting next to him this whole time.

Why would they stare at him like he is some murderer? Damian thought. Then, suddenly, Damian panic. Do they know what he is? If not why would they glare at Dominic like that? His intuition tells him that they’re really dangerous.

Quickly, Damian turns back but they were already walking into the building. Damian let out a sigh of relief. He thought that they would jump and attack Dominic or something. Not that they had a chance of winning, but making such a scene would just be too…… revealing.

Damian turns back to Dominic but Dominic still had that uninterested face on. Damian let out another sigh. I’m probably wrong. They probably don’t know anything. Damian thought. Immediately, Damian put back the smug expression on his face and smirked at Jackson.

‘Hey, you know that night in the hospital, you promised me something.’ Damian said with an arrogant tone. Jackson, whom was still dumb founded by their sudden appearance, finally reacted. ‘Dude! That’s the chick from the hospital!’ Jackson shouted. Damian arched an eyebrow at him as he was waiting for an answer, but Jackson was still in shock. ‘Look, you promised to ask for her name. So, what is her name?’ Damian demanded. Jackson shook his head and sigh. ‘I didn’t have the chance to. She left before I could even ask.’ Jackson said. ‘But one thing for sure, she’s damn H. O. T!’ Jackson added.

‘Yah, I know that!’ Damian said as he dislike what Jackson said. He was feeling a little jealous when Jackson complimented her. ‘Well, not as hot as my Sophia here.’ Tyler said. All three of them, Jackson, Dominic and Damian immediately stood up. ‘That’s gross man!’ Jackson said. ‘Too mushy!’ Dominic added. ‘Disgusting!’ Damian said. Tyler did not bother but just gave a peck on Sophia’s check and smirked at them. Immediately, all three of them got out of the bench and walk away.

Never would she have thought that he would be here. He seems pretty much fine, more radiant and healthy than before, in the hospital. His clean cut black hair fit perfectly with his beautiful emerald green eyes that seem to glow as the sun shine upon it. His smile seems to melt away the uneasiness but not until her eyes fall onto the man sitting next to him.

She could feel the demonic aura surrounding him, that man with the same jet black hair as the boy, Damian but a very different pair of eyes. Both his eyes were wine red in color. Although, he wore a bored and uninterested expression, she could sense danger from him. It was as though, he knew what they were but didn’t bother at all. She squeezes her palm into a fist until she heard it made a crack sound. Is he mocking me? She thought. What the hell is he anyway?

The only thing in the world that could emit such demonic aura can only be one thing. She had sense it before, that is, the Damns. A smirk slowly spread across her face and she knew she could finally have some fun. Maybe it isn’t such a bad idea coming to school. She thought.

‘Shane.’ Chad called and she knew what he wanted to say. ‘I know.’ She replied to the red head, also her best friend. ‘I know.’ She repeated in a wicked tone. She could already imagine they faces. Both of them must be smirking like she is. ‘Boy, we’re going to have some fun!’ Enrique said.
