CHAPTER 29

CAROLINE'S POV
I walked towards Jane to wipe that stupid smirk of her face. How dare she? Does she think she can just go around throwing stuff on people. As I was walking towards her I was boiling in anger but the moment I saw Nick it turned into fear. He looks murderous and I am not gonna let him hurt her as much as I want to do it. I ran as fast as my feet carried me. I reached just before Nick was about to flip her over.
"Nick!" I put a hand on his chest to stop him
"I'll beat you up you b***h" he screamed to her looking past me.
"Oh baby! I missed you so much. And I'd prefer you to use your hands for other things" she winked at him and spoke to him seductively.
I almost puked. At the corner of my eye I saw Elly and Phoebe. Phoebe looking like she's about to explode and Elly looking worried. God I miss-
NO! FOCUS CAROLINE!
"SHUT UP!" he fumed at her
"Caroline, come on" Damian tugged my arm
"What do you mean come on? Can't you see what's going on here?" I whisper yelled at him.
"Can't you see that this fight is totally not about you? Jane is triggering Nick"
"NO! She started it with me. So I would have to be the one ending it too"
he sighed
"Aw, look at this cute couple. Wait! Which is the couple? Is it Nick and you? Or Damian and you? Oh... so both huh? Wow Caroline, I never expected this from you." she looked at me disgustingly.
"You..." I stopped Nick again with a death glare
"What's the matter Care-bear? You don't have your minions to support you now? I heard about what happened. My deep condolences" she said looking fakely pitiful.
THAT'S IT
"EXCUSE ME, JANE QUEEN. But I don't need minions like yours to talk for me. I use my mouth wisely you know. To stand up for myself and my loved ones. Unlike you who uses it on some random drunk guy who you saw literally two minutes ago."
The smirk on her face immediately wiped of. I saw Phoebe trying to hide her smile.
Too late.
"Sorry?" she asked me
"As you should be. And do you want me to repeat that? I don't mind though" I said innocently
By this time Jane's face was red because of embarrassment and anger. Nick was stifling a laugh and Damian was straight up laughing out loud and panting for air. I felt an arm around my shoulder. I was surprised to find out that it belongs to Damian instead of Nick.
"So Jane. I suggest you shut your ugly little mouth up and walk away before my little Cici opens up her pretty little mouth. Trust me, you wouldn't want to see that again." he said.
I swear I heard a gasp from Elly's direction. I don't blame her. Damian behaved like this 3 years ago. When he was, well, care free and all bad boy-ish. And well he has his arm on my shoulder. Even I am flabbergasted. Jane stomped back to somewhere with her minions head on her heals. Nick looked a little annoyed. I turned to Damian.
"What the heck was that?" I asked once she was out of sight
"Well, Cici, you're gonna be seeing a lot more of this old Damian" he winked and went away
HUH? WHAT WAS THAT? THAT WAS NOT AN ANSWER. IN FACT, THAT JUST BROUGHT OUT MORE QUESTIONS. Now it was Nick's turn to put his hand on my shoulder.
"I don't like him" he said with a frown watching Damian's retreating figure.
"He doesn't want you to Nick" I said while shrugging his arms off of me.
"Hey! You let him keep his arm on you! Why not me?" he asked basically choking me by putting his hand firmly on my shoulder again.
"Because you are supposed to be in football practice" I said shrugging his arm off.
Again.
"No, no ,no ,no, no! He totally has a crush on you, and he's trying to steal you away from me! I'm not gonna let that happen. YOU ARE MINE" he made a weird noise at the end which made me laugh.
"Oh shut up! I'm not an object. I'm nobody's. And he is just being himself. Now get your a*s to the field" I said and walked away
Cheerleading practice went on painfully slow. With all three of us stealing glances at each other. Just awkward. After the practice finished I went to class. Math class. But Leo wasn't there. I decided to ask Mr. Salvatore about him since there is a lot more time before class. I am an early bird for math class. Can't help it.
"Good morning Mr. Salvatore!" I said enthusiastically
"Good morning Caroline! You're early as usual."
I smiled at him
"Where's Leo?"
"He was feeling a little sick. So I just let him stay home"
"Oh..." I trailed of
"Hope he gets well soon" I said, more to myself and went to my seat.
Soon, students filled the classroom and my dear friends came in. Note the sarcasm. I couldn't focus the whole time. My mind was wandering to all different questions making me feel uneasy. Class was finally over and I head to my locker. After the next classes finished, I kept my books in the locker and closed my locker door only to be startled by Damian.
"Hey, Cici" he said enthusiastically
"What's gotten you so happy?" I asked him smiling
"YOU!" he said
"Huh?"
"Looking at you has gotten me happy!" he winked, showcasing his perfect white teeth.
"Um...okay...?" I replied awkwardly
He slinged his arm around my shoulder pulling me to the cafeteria. As we entered all the eyes turned to us. I don't blame them. Damian was looking like how he used to look 3 years ago. Classic bad boy leather jacket with a girl in his arms. And that girl is me. But I know that I'm not like all the other girls he's been with. I am his friend. We sat at a table. A few minutes later Nick came in the cafeteria with a smile. But as soon as he saw Damian's arm on my shoulder his smile turned into a scowl. He came and sat on the other side of me. He pushed Damian's hands off me but it returned nonetheless. I glared at the both of them and Damian carried his arm up in surrender smirking at Nick.
"What did I do?" Nick asked me
I just rolled my eyes.
"Oh Nicholas. I thought you were smarter. You just ruined our little date" Damian said with a pouty face.
My eyes widened.
"DATE?!!" Nick asked what I thought.
"He's just kidding" I said to Nick
"No I'm not. We were on our little date!" Damian said and I hit his arm.
HARD
Before I could explain anything to Nick he stood up and went out. I turned to Damian.
"What the heck was that?"
He just smiled while I glared at him.
Our staring contest got cut off by the ringing of my phone. It was mom.
"Hey, Mom!!" I answered the call
"Hey, Caroline! How are you?" she asked
"I'm fine mom. I miss you," I said
"Aw, I miss you too baby. But I'm still a little busy. I dont think I'll be coming back any time soon." I could hear the regret in her voice.
"Its okay mom. Ivy's with me" I said
"Is she? I'm pretty sure she's out every night"
"I mean, yeah. But she just came back from college mom. She can enjoy a little"
"Whatever. Anyway, I gotta go now. Love you"
"Love you too mom. Bye" I hung up
I turned to see Damian staring at me.
"What?" I asked
He smiled and said,
"Nothing. Anyway I'll see ya' later" he gave me a boop on my nose and walked away.
Okay. This is the third time I'm thinking this today...
WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT...?
