*they walk around school for a bit before settling down on a bench*
Damien: *do i tell her the truth, that i don't really like her, but telling her that will lead to me telling her my actual crush, and she might tell Newton, shit*
Samantha: *Hands him a leaf* here, you can keep it
Damien: *takes it* thanks *is this a joke, why would she give me this*
Samantha: *gets up* see you around school Damien, bye
Damien: yh, bye , nice talk
HIGH SCHOOL
Damien: well, we went to the same high school, actually, most of us who went to Future greats junior high followed the same path here since they built a Future greats high school, ever since that day, I haven't had a talk with Samantha, I was in junior year one and now I'm in senior year two, maybe it's for the best, maybe she was testing if I had a crush on her or it was just a rumour *thinks to himself*
Mrs Nelson: mind telling us why your mind is elsewhere Mr. August , your grades are dropping, a senior is gonna be tutoring you, you'll meet her in the library during break
Damien: *Her?, something's telling me I know who exactly that is, breathe Damien, ya just a student, just a tutor-student relationship, nothing more, no need for my heart to start racing*
*during break, Damien moves to the library, carrying textbooks and a note*
Samantha: hey, so ya the student I'm tutoring, sit
Damien: yh, thanks for helping me out *of course it had to be her, life keeps bringing us together like we're meant to be or something, just concentrate Damien, you need to up your grades*
