As expected, after that encounter with Red in the hallway, Damon skipped the rest of school that day. What was the point of going to high school when he could effortlessly solve any problem thrown his way with his eyes closed? Yeah, he was that intelligent. A Genius to be exact.
Damon was very smart unlike what people thought of him, he just preferred to laze around and have fun. Fun? That was the only comfort he could give himself till his time on earth ran out.
For the rest of the day, he wandered around the city aimlessly from café to karaoke to Casinos, and still, yet, he was discontented. When he finally returned home, it was late and his parents were not home. As usual.
His father left for a conference abroad while his great mother -note the sarcasm- was stuck in some meeting with the company's executives and the house was as silent as it could ever get. So he went to bed downcast, with nightmares of his brother tormenting his dreams.
