Chapter 14: School Drama

Parker was glad when the shock and awe wore off of people in school seeing her with Damien and Lucien. People stopped staring at her when she and Damien were holding hands, but she could still hear hushed whispers, especially from Lissa and her friends.

Damien squeezed her hand as they walked by Lissa and her friends, who burst out laughing as the couple walked by.

“Whatever it is, it probably isn’t that funny,” Damien whispered, leaning in so it looked like he was saying something more intimate to her. Parker smiled, looking over at him.

“You’re probably right,” she said.

“Come on, let’s get you something to eat,” he said. Parker nodded and they headed to the cafeteria.

“Fortunately, since that first day, no one has tried to be my friend in an attempt to get closer to you,” Parker said, sitting with Damien at one of the lunch tables. She rested her head on his shoulder, sighing heavily.
