Abigail's POV
Damien watches me as I sit down next to him in science. "Hey," he says."Hello," I say.
"You haven't been to class in a while," he states.
"Well, you had to do the next three assignments remember?" I question, raising an eyebrow.
"I did," he says. "C, B and B+."
"Good," I mutter.
"Abby I'm sorry," he says. "About homecoming."
"No, I am," I sigh. "I overreacted. You didn't do anything wrong."
"I shouldn't have but in," Damien says. "I just- I was jealous."
"Jealous?"
"Well I want to kiss you that way," Damien says. "I was gonna ask you to homecoming but I got the impression you went with Mark."
"I was there alone," I whisper.
"I know that now," he huffs.
I smile a little. "Maybe we could grab lunch after class?" I suggest.
He nods. "I'd love that."
We get through class pretty easily and then Damien and I head down to the subway. I get what I get every time I go.
Meatballs, cheddar cheese (extra), tomato, lettuce and pickles.
We then sit on a park bench and share some cookies too.
"I like you, Abby," he says. "I know we've been a bit rocky lately, but I want to pursue this."
"I like you too," I whisper. "But I feel like I know nothing about you."
"Alright," he says. "Well, I have two siblings. You've met my twin brother Aaron and my younger sister who's ten Quinn. My mother is a nurse full-time and my dad is a cardiologist."
"Cardiologist is the heart right?" I question.
Damien scoffs. "It's fucking ironic cause he doesn't have one himself."
"You don't get along with your dad?" I question.
"No," he answers. "He was the reason I was away for the week. He will cheat on my mum, she will find out and I have to go back and pick up the pieces."
"I'm so sorry," I say. "I understand in a way. My mum cheated on my dad."
"And your dad is a fucking famous football player," Damien says. "Tough break."
"I don't speak with my mother because of it," I say. "I never understood why she could do that to someone she loved."
"I get that," Damien says. "I didn't believe in relationships for a long time. I thought I would be like my father."
