"That will be all for today students" the lecturer said as he packed his books and left the hall
Damion calmly packed his books as he watched Ned discuss the lecture with those around him, lately Damion discovered Ned was actually quite social with his course mates, he only stood back when it came with people affiliated with the families.
" Okay see you later Ned, Gustavo you too" One of the students bid them bye, just in time for Damion to get up
" Am glad you're actually popular" Damion said
" Compared to you, yeah, I'm not even close. I'm just popular among the students who bother to study" Ned said pushing up his glasses.
" You think am popular?" Damion asked, pretty stunned.
" No am sure, though you hardly interact with other you are quite popular, plus most people are just coming close to me to get to you" Ned said rather tired
" Well, that's their loss because you're a pretty amazing guy" Damion said
"Thanks man" Ned said sincerely
Bump*
" Hey watch it … you" Andrew said as he crashed into Damion
"Am sorry" Damion apologized and was about to move away before he was held back by Andrew
" Can I help you?" Damion said as he looked at the arm being held by Andrew.
" You think you're a big shot now since you hit me at the gathering" Andrew gritted his teeth as he let him go
" I don't know what you are talking about, but it's certain what happened now was an accident" Damion said cleanly
" You know I looked up, do you what I found out" Andrew suddenly said breaking out into a somewhat evil smile
" You know Andrew I don't care, I will just love it if you would mind your damn business and left me alone" Damion said preparing to leave
" Ha, I just some useless things, places you were born, where you have been until now wasn't recorded all that's you is dated to 6 months ago, you know what that means right. Either you're a blood in hiding or Gustavo doesn't exist who are you exactly" Andrew asked attempting to find a trace of shock on his but to his dismay there was only a bored expression on his face.
" If that's all, I am leaving" Damion said and left with Ned leaving Andrew steaming more than ever
"That bastard" Andrew yelled as he smashed his hand into the wall
After the gathering he looked up everything he could get on Damion, his father was angry with him if he couldn't vent his frustration he would probably explode. However, there was nothing useful on him, when he tried to dig deeper he was warned to stay away. Who exactly was him for Charles to tell him to back away from him, he could sense the hatred for him from Charles, yet he was told to back away, no until he avenges himself of the embarrassment he felt?
Damion walked into the café without giving a damn about Andrew, if he wanted, he could ask Google about him, it won't take time until he leaves this country, but he has to think of a way to tell Ned and Theodore of his plans to leave immediately after graduation
"Over here" Thoe waved his hands over to where he sat
"Hey man" Ned said as he sat
" Thoe, what's up" Damion said as he sat
" Good news, the inter college competition is coming up, am so excited, can't literally wait to trash those Royal guys" Theo said
" Yeah, am also looking forward to it, the guys in club all plan to participate" Ned said, pushing up his glasses
" Inter college competition?" Damion asked.
" Finally, a chance to tell the tale" Theo said with a victorious expression
" Why are you so happy to explain it" Damion asked
" Because it's an opportunity to diss Andrew, which he, of course, deserves" Ned said
" Huh, am good thanks" Damion said, giving the waitress his order
"Pfft" Ned held in a laugh
" Too late, explaining it" Theo said
" We did actually meet him on our way here, he looked pissed off with us" Ned said
" Well he is lucky enough to not have stumbled upon me because I would have so dissed him" Theo said with contempt
" Why do you hate so much, yeah his personality is trash but don't you think your hatred is a bit harsh" Damion said
" Huh, you don't know how much he deserved it" Ned clicked his tongue
" Oh, thank you… So about the inter college competition" Damion asked as he took his order from the waitress, she giggled as she dropped it and walked off.
" Yeah, every two years the college holds a competition with Royal college, it's based on activities and courses we offer" Theo said
" Since we're offering the same curriculum as Royal college, the competition is organized by both schools and is being held with different segments" Ned added
" Since it's held in different departments, each segment won is regarded as a point, the college with the highest point wins" Theo continued
" Who won the last year" Damion asked as he took a sip of his caffeine
"Royal college" Ned slowly said
" I am guessing this has something to do with Andrew, right?" Damion asked.
"You've got that right, that retard sold us out" Theo said literally seething
" Calm down bro" Ned said soothing him
" Last year we were so close to winning, we were in a tie so they had to use a tiebreaker. Each colleges were to prepare a lecture based on a certain concept. For some reason Andrew wanted to be desperately part of the theme, we worked so hard to get a lecture, on the lecture day, Royal high passed out our lecture as theirs with Andrew cheering them on. We had no choice but to give out an unfinished paper, which of course turned out horribly, causing us to lose. We accused Andrew, but there was no proof, later on, Andrew came to us calling us shitheads for trying to battle with Royal college" Theo narrated.
" It was the most miserable day of our lives, not only did we lose the tie we were punished for false accusations against Andrew" Ned said
" Wow, now I see why the hatred is deep, but I don't get it, why is he here if he hates it so much" Damion asked
" It's simple, Royal college is strict not only against non bloods but also on the bloods. Character, language must be prim and perfect to enter and Andrew is just way below them. Though he tried to hide it during the interview, he blew up during a test and got rejected" Theo said.
" He has applied for a transfer on so many cases but have always been rejected" Ned said
" Leaving the bastard's sorry story aside, are you going to participate?" Theo asked.
" I'll think about it" Damion answered shortly
" Wonderful now on to the next topic, tomorrow is Valentine's Day, ohh you wanna bet how many chocolates and cards Dam… Gustavo's gonna get" Theo asked Ned.
" Nah, I'll just lose" Ned said
" Lovers day?" Damion asked.
" Yes, you haven't experienced it right, tomorrow the aura of love is gonna be spreading around" Theo said suddenly sounding like a cupid
" Max said Valentine's Day isn't only for livers but all those you love and care for "Damion said
" Technically, yeah but it's mainly for lovers" Theo said
" Well, it doesn't matter though" Ned said
" No it does, I have a feeling tomorrow is gonnabe fun" Theo said clicking his tongue
