บท 13: CHAPTER 13
CAROLINES POV
"God how many bags do you have?" I asked, annoyed about the amount of bags Damian is bringing.
"I told you in was an inconvenience" he whined.
"NO. That's not what I meant. No matter how many bags you have you're staying in my house" I answered
"Yes. You're staying. I'm not gonna let a teenage boy like you stay at a park. Especially knowing your past" my mom continued.
I nodded to her with a smile. Knowing my mom and the lawyer she is, she will NEVER leave him like that. We finally got his bags to the guest room and helped him settle down.
"Thank you so much for letting me stay Mrs. Williams." he thanked politely.
"Ouh it's not a big deal. Living with a 14 year old monkey is hard. At least now you're here to help me" my mom replied.
I glared at her and Damian was trying to stifle a laugh. I hit him by his arm.
"Well, this monkey is leaving to see her friends" I said pulling Damian while she just laughed.
We reached the sheriff's office in about 10 minutes. Oh, by the way, the sheriff is my mom's best friend. Mr. David Evans. I just call him uncle David.
"Hey, Uncle David," I said walking in his office like I owned the place.
Wow. That was actually a little rude but
...Whatever.
"Hey, kiddo" he replied enthusiastically
He frowned when he saw Damian with me.
"Caroline, why are YOU at my office to talk about Phoebe" he asked glaring at me.
"Well, she's my best friend..." I answered awkwardly.
"Does your mom know about this?"
"Yeah. Of course I told her"
"And she let you go?" he asked almost screaming now.
"Uncle David it's fine," I calmed him
"Well, what did you wanna say?" he asked Damian after cooling down.
He explained the whole situation to Uncle David. Uncle David asked a few things to him like the guy's features and his name and his background and his- you get it.
"Okay, we'll see him in the evening" he said closing a file
"Caroline, don't you have a test today" Damian asked.
OH MY GOD. I got so engrossed in the conversation that I didn't check the time. I said thanks you Uncle David and sprinted to Elly's house. By the time I reached Elly and Phoebe were there and I was panting for air.
"What happened to you!!!?" Phoebe asked
"I...ran...woke up...late" I told a lie to make them believe.
I saw Leo standing there and he started walking towards me concern filled his eyes. He knew that I was anemic. Yup. Less blood. So if a vamp comes and just sucks a little bit of blood, I'll die. Suddenly I felt Damian's arms on my shoulders and a protective look on his face.
"Are you okay?" Leo asked.
"She's fine" Damian answered stiffly
What the hell is wrong with him
"He's just asking, Damian" Elly glared at him.
"And I was just answering" he replied rudely
"DAMIAN!"
He stopped speaking
"We have to go, you know, our exam is gonna start" Phoebe said, also angry..
Damian left saying his shift was about to start. The walk to school was silent. Until we reached the school.
"AAHHHHHH. I DON'T GET IT!!" I screamed.
"Caroline calm down" Phoebe said
"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN. ITS A WHOLE CHAPTER. HOW DID I MISS IT?"
Yup. I missed out a whole chapter to study. Dumb me. I'm gonna fail my first test and get grounded by my mom.
"Alright students keep your bags outside and sit on your respective seats." Mr. Salvatore said
God I'm gonna disappoint him. I sat down nervously looking at my papers. The exam started...
"Hmm. Not bad!" I said in my mind
"I know this!"
"Great"
"Awesome"
*2 minutes later*
"Shit"
"Shit, shit, shit"
*1 hour, 13 minutes later*
"Okay, times up! Pens down" Mr.Salvatore said
He gave me a hopeful and proud smile when taking my paper while I just smiled at him sheepishly. God I'm gonna ruin my reputation. Elly and Phoebe came grinning towards my table. Their smile immediately turned into a frown after seeing me.
"What's wrong?" Elly asked
"MATHS" I shouted
"Its okay Care, it's just a test"
"No! That's not how I take it. Its maths. I used to be GREAT at maths. Oh, mom's gonna murder me" I said angrily.
However, it was my mistake and right now, I can't change anything now. I just gotta apologize to Mr. Salvatore when I get my horrible marks. After all it's just a test. Not really an important examination.
We went to the cafeteria and I saw Leo sitting there. I sorta needed to apologize to him for what Damian did. While Elly and Phoebe went to the bathroom I walked up to Leo. He was reading a book. Huh. Nerdy much.
"Hey, Leo" I greeted him
"Hey" he answered with a tiny smile and went back straight to the book.
I sighed.
"You're mad aren't you?" I asked
"What? NO!" he answered immediately.
I gave him a 'really?' look.
"I'm serious. I'm not mad" he stood his ground.
"Okay, then. I'm still gonna say sorry,"
"Carolineee" he whined
"Shush. See, Leo I'm sorry. I have no idea what happened to Damian or why he was acting like that. So, I'm sorry" I finished.
He gave me a wide grin, staring at me.
"What are you staring at?" I asked.
"You. Duh"
I slapped him.
"Hey!" he slapped my arm
We ended up laughing until... I saw Leo staring at someone, looking pass me. I turned to find...Damian. Damian was staring at us jaw clenched.
"Hey!" I said to him trying to decrease the tension in the air.
"Hey" he said straightly.
I looked in between the both of them. And as if on cue Phoebe and Elly walk in the cafeteria.
"What's going on here?" Elly asked standing beside Leo placing her hand on his arm.
"Nothing!" I replied standing up.
Elly and Phoebe have never liked Damian but now they are actually starting to warm up to him. Until the scene he created this morning. And they didn't need another reason for them to hate him.
"Damian?" Phoebe asked looking annoyed.
GREAT. JUST GREAT.
"I came to see Caroline" he said putting a protective hand around me.
"Well, she's clearly having lunch" Elly replied
"Then, I shall have lunch with her" he said taking a seat beside me. And Leo immediately stood up when he sat there.
"Leo, what's wrong?"
"I think you know what's wrong, Caroline" he said and left without waiting for my reply.
Elly Followed him and Phoebe gave me and Damian a glare before leaving. HEY! What did I do? I glared at Damian shoving him by the shoulder.
"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT" I whisper-yelled.
"Hey, you saw me. I didn't do ANYTHING. That Leo guy is just messed up" he said calmly
"NO, he's NOT".
I saw a flash of hurt in his eyes. WHY is he HURT?
"Whatever, let's go to the police"
"NO! You're gonna explain to me what that was."
"Caroline, are you really gonna get this problem get in the way of our investigation?"
Well, he does have a point.
"You're gonna explain later" I said grabbing my bag and walking outside.
