Hey, there". Mia greeted as Evelyn walked into class the next day.
"Good morning and I'm sorry about yesterday I didn't make it to class. I didn't know how to stop". Evelyn' said sincerely.
"In my whole life as a human being,I have never seen someone who's hooked on books. It's a good thing, don't bother apologizing okay".Mia said taking her hands in hers. They both sat next to each other in class so there wasn't much distance between them."Okay?".
"Yeah, what she said".Ted said barging in on the conversation. They laughed for a while until it died off like water in the desert. The class was happy that morning.Noise filled the air so much that not even a gunshot could be heard.
Mr Dave walked into the class and as soon as he did silence hung in the air.
"Good morning, everyone".
"Good morning,sir". They chorused.
"As we all know it's the beginning of a new semester and we often get new students,so I'll like to introduce to you Damian". He said ushering the young lad into the class. There were murmurs in the class amongst the female students.
"Looks like Ted and Nate is gonna add a new friend into their group. Turns out they have a new competition". Mia whispered into Evelyn's ear and she chuckled
"Damian'snot a talker so I recommend you don't try to woo him over ladies". Mr Dave stopped talking and left.
"...Damian....". She thought;that didn't sound right to her.Whatever it was that told her not to associate with this kid made her scared. He had pale white skin, dark hair with a hint of red,there was no denying the fact he was handsome,no doubt but terrifying. He sat down next to Ted and immediately they both became friends.
2 WEEKS LATER
"Did you hear what's been going on in class". Mia told Evelyn in a hushed tone when she walked into class that morning.
"What?". Evelyn asked in the same tone not understanding why she was talking that way.
"It's Damian,he hasn't been on good terms with any of the teachers. Whenever they scold him, I have no idea what he does to them but most of them get very scared at the mention of his name". Mia said and moved away as the theology teacher;Mr Lewis walks in.
"I'm pretty scared too". Ted added from behind in a humorous tone
"We haven't been talking to him, he's creeping us out". Ned added mimicking the girls tone and they both laughed.
"Good morning, class".Mr Lewis greeted.
"Good morning sir". They chorused.
"Today's top.....". His voice trailed off as Damian walked into the class, hands in his pocket and his hoodie over his head. That dark seductive look got a lot of ladies wet under but what the fuck walking into the class and not saying a thing to the teacher. All eyes turned to him as Mr Lewis called him.
"Why are you late to class ?".
"Don't bother asking". He said without looking back.
Mr Lewis didn't say a thing,he simply picked up his phone and left the class. Damian went over to his seat next to Ted and Nate with everyone staring at him.
"Wow". Mia exclaimed only to get a look from that terrified her but she stared intensely he has to look away.
"What's wrong?". Evelyn asked oblivious
"Nothing". Mia replied in a tone that sounded so off and for the first time it sounded like she was lying. She gave a cold and eerie smile. Evelyn brushed it off as nothing.
At the cafeteria,Mia, Nate, Ted and Evelyn sat down,all staring at Damian who sat at the other end of the room without company. Mr Dave came into the cafeteria wearing a look she didn't think he had. He called Damian as he stood next to Mr Lewis, everyone sensed this wasn't going to be a laughing scene. The three went upstairs and disappeared into Mr Dave's office. Murmuring began and ended as soon as the bell rang. Everyone returned to class all including Damian. Mr Lewis walked into the class to make up for the previous class he missed. Damian gave him a cold stare everyone felt it. The room fell silent as if everyone knew they weren't supposed to interfere with Damian.
Mr Lewis however ignored this warning and continued with the class. School was dismissed eventually and the students left for their various homes.
"Mum, I'm back". Evelyn said as she walked into the house.
"I'm sorry your dad didn't come to pick you up today".
"It's okay, mum. The driver came at least".
"What would you like to eat?"
"Nothing, I'm good mum".
"So how was school today?".
"It was fine".
She went up to her room and didn't say anything to anyone not even her dad as they sat at the dinning table
"Honey, how was school today?". Mr Smith asked expecting an answer but getting none. "Honey.... Evie....".
"Ummm... Sorry Dad I was distracted" Evelyn said few seconds later.
"How was school today?". Mr Smith asked again.
"It was fine, I guess". Evelyn answered although not giving details as to what she was thinking about.
