35: .....FREE FOOD?

"Yes baby," replied Damien kissing the top of her head. "Love your hair shampoo I can smell it all day," 

"Thank you," Clara said and turned to look at the cafeteria.

"If only he knew about all this!" Regretted Clara silently.

"You know we can still work out on Tik-Tok account if Daniella will be cutting you off from her account," 

Clara didn't expect Damien to be a fan of Tik-Tok. He knew Damien to be someone who an always busy with his work. Helping his uncle in the restaurant and keeping to himself mostly. He has only seen him cheer up when Davids joined Blue Mountain High and she doesn't know why Davids and not other students in school.

"You watch TIk-Tok?" Asked Clara with a shocked face.

"Yeah, and you guys always post about your weekend stuff every day except for the last three weeks I have not seen any content about you guys on the media," replied Damien massaging her collarbone.

"Uh," was all Clara could reply after being hit with a realization.

"It seems he kept his promise of being a guardian angel after all. Keeping tabs about my well being, checking on me." Thoughts Clara.

She wanted to just tell him how she felt, but her pride was above the moon to let her do it. She didn't want him to look at her like some girl who wants someone to lean on, she wanted to be the girl who doesn't have to seek attention. What she didn't know was that Damien respected her and was not going to rush anything with her. 

"What about we start our first video on this rooftop, Damien," asked Clara facing him while swaying her phone on his face.

"What," asked the perplexed Damien. He didn't think Clara would take the idea seriously. He was trying to lighten the mood but it seems like Clara was determined to make sure that happened.

"You said we can do it, why not now?" Asked Clara as she stood up looking at Damien.

"Look, baby, I would live that to happen but good content requires a mission. If your mission is to get many followers or is your mission to educate people around you. Don't rush this to get into Daniella to cutting you off, take your time, apologise to your fans and them the reason why you wouldn't be working with Daniella and sit down and come up with good content, I can help you create the content, I don't want to take that limelight away from you, I want you to shine in what you do best." Finished Damien while standing beside Clara.

Clara liked him and seemed to get an idea, a bulb moment of what Damien wants her to do. She agreed with Damien's statement that she doesn't need t do this to get at Daniella but she has to do this because she is passionate about it and wanted to educate people.

That night, Daniella posted on her social media account, accusing Clara of being a wolf in sheep's clothing. Clinton and Nancy's blog was also trending of the new development in Blue Mountain High. With amazing headings; 'THE WOLVES IN A SHEEP'S CLOTHING.

People accuse Clara on Daniella's post and called her 'backstabber,' 'whore,' and all sort of names teens calls each other out of anger.

Daniella introduced Stella and said she was the true friend she will ever ask for and she will be working with her onwards.

Clara sat on her laptop, looking at how she was getting bashed by people, she saw how Daniella hated her for befriending Damien and Davids. 

She didn't want to add firewood to the flame that was threatening to burn into ashes. She let Daniella have her moment while she thought of ideas that she will peach on her account. She wanted something unique, not what every usual thing teens would do or post on social media.

Damien had given her a lot of ideas and so far she liked them all but he had asked her I chose one thing that will stand out if the rest. She removed her clothes and dressed into her pyjamas before slipping into her sheets hoping to have a better day ahead.

THE FOLLOWING DAY.

Tension was building in school. Most music members dreaded that the music class wouldn't be as good as they think. They were scared that the performance that they had put across would crash forcing them to overstay in school.

Clara maintained her locker near Daniella which was promising but bad for her because her locker was decorated with apart paint calling her names. Damien having arrived earlier that day decided to clean it for her before someone else finds out and it was back to clean as ever. Davids didn't care about her locker, as much as it was painted with spary paint she assumed it and headed to her class.

"Are you going to wait for Clara?" Asked Davids as she was placing her books inside her locker. She had chosen the boys section for her locker and it was near Damien's

"I have told her am going to help my uncle with the restaurant since he won't be around today." Replied Damien while picking his backpack.

Okay, can we get free food?" Asked Davids cheekily.

Damien laughed and smacked her shoulder. "Not even leftovers dude, but if you help with plates I will consider that," 

"Okay then I will bring Clara with me after the music classes," replied Davids while she wiped her saxophone clean before heading into the music room.
