It's been a week. A full week since I talked to Damien.

The girls and I had our sleepover, Shayna joined us as well, she apologized to us and we welcomed her openly. We talked about anything and everything, but I guess they could sense that something wasn't right with me since they tried to lighten me up. It didn't work.

I cried myself to sleep the whole weekend thinking about the situation. I should've just told Damien. But yet again, he was wrong to pester me about it.

I've seen him trudge the halls of my school and anytime I do, he isn't alone..some of the girls in my school walk up to him.

Sigh, I've lost what I never even had.

I pulled the sleeves of my sweatshirt down and walked to my next class with my head hung low and I crashed into something.

More like someone.

"Watch where you're going loser" Brittany screamed.

Oh I forgot to mention, the bitch is here too, and so is her boyfriend.

"Idiot" I replied and walked off. I really don't have the time for an argument today. I have a big presentation in the Chemistry lab in 6 minutes.

I hurriedly walked into the lab, put on my coat and goggles and prepared my presentation. Five minutes later, the junior year students started filing in and so did the professor.

"Okay Class, as you all know this whole week the sophomores will be presenting on various topics relating to acids, but for today's presentation the exchange students from Edison Burkely High would be joining us, I urge you all to be on your best behaviour and do well to take notes" Professor Maine said.

The exchange students walked in quietly and took their seats at the back.

Damien. His soft grey eyes bore into mine. He wore a blue sweatshirt and some whitewashed jeans, how is he able to pull it off?

"Miss Knight we're ready for you" The professor said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I quickly composed myself and got behind my presentation.

"Right" I cleared my throat, "Good Morning, today I would be presenting on how various acids react when mixed. Now as we all know....." I started of my presentation just as I rehearsed.

"Any questions?" I said concluding my presentation. It was quite complex but I'm so proud that I managed to finish it off without mistakes.

No hands were raised so I took it as my cue to wrap it up, "Okay class thank-"

"Excuse me, I have a question" someone asked.

Damien.

"Go ahead then" I tried to act cool but Lord knows that my mind was in a frenzy, especially after hearing his voice in so long.

"In your last mixture, I couldn't help but realize that the reaction was not quite there yet, the hydrogen was not enough and you could've substituted the other substance with Nitrogen" Damien explained and sat down.

How the heck is that a question?!

"Umm, thank you Mr. Montenegro, I do believe that the mixture could've reacted better and in regards to the nitrogen, I'll do my best to keep that in mind" I said curtly, "Would that be all?"

Complete silence. I took that as my cue to end my presentation and get the fuck out of that laboratory.

As I walked out, one of the Juniors came up to me, "That was a good presentation Sydney, honestly I'm so glad you actually brought chemicals, the rest just keep talking and talking!"
