08 * Damian's Little Bitch

Devika’s Pov

Why do I care? Why am I such a busy body? I can’t even understand what am thinking or what am doing, I just want him back so badly but why?!

This is so infuriating, am not this type of girl so why am I reacting the way I am? I can’t think or focus on anything but him, his face, ocean blue eyes and shiny brown hair.

I can feel myself spiraling slowly and I have no idea how to save myself. Sometimes, I begin to wonder if he has me under some sort of spell. It has to be right? It’s been 3 days! Three fucking days since he and I last talked and he didn’t come back even though I literally begged.

After all efforts I’ve been putting into my practice, I still can’t sit still to meditate and relax, it’s barely working and here I am today, ready for another day of school. Phoebe did fulfill her promise of calling that night but I didn’t feel like talking so we only chatted a bit.

I want to bail on school, honestly but I can’t give him the satisfaction of knowing that he has some sort of effect on me. Or… it might be because am scared that if I don’t go and I don’t see him, that am going to lose it.

“Hi dev, have a seat” Josh said, pointing to the seat beside him and I can’t help but notice Bec’s staring daggers my way.

“Hey Josh, hi Becca” I said politely, taking my seat.

“Don’t call me like that, you are not my friend” she replied with disgust.

“Okay, am sorry” I apologize getting a little pissed. I only spoke to her out of courtesy for Josh but apparently, she has anger issues.

 “You don’t have to be so rude Rebecca” Josh said

“Don’t get me started Josh” she replied

“Hey what’s up? You two fighting again?” Lexi said in an amused tone as she sat beside me.

“None of your business Lexi” Rebecaa replied and you can feel the hate waves oozing out of her.

“Yeah, whatever”, Lexi replied and asked “what’s up Clare?”

“It’s Devika Lexi” I correct again but she just seems not to listen. It’s like she is in love with the name.

“I know, but Clare is a lot more fun” she replied with her beautiful smile. She’s very pretty, with red hair, blue eyes and a skin that dazzles in the sunlight. If I was a dude, I probably would have a crush on her

“Suit yourself” I reply, shaking my head.

“She can be annoying” Josh said 

“You don’t need to tell me that” I replied

“Oh, come on!” she said dramatically with her hands raised but I lost track of what was happening as HE walked into the class.

“What is he doing here?” I couldn’t help but say out loud.

“Mr. hottie?” Lexi asked wiggling her brows at me.

“Shh” I shush, not wanting anyone to overhear her nonsense.

“What did you just call him?” Josh asked and I couldn’t help but feel like I was in deep shit.

“That’s what Clare here calls him” she teased and Josh gasped.

“Hey! That was a onetime mistake, it meant nothing” I say, defending my precious little honor.

“I don’t believe you for a second, you have a crush on him. Admit it!” she replied.

“Am I interrupting anything down there?” Mr. hottie asked from the front of the class with a creepy smile on his face.

“No sir, please carry on” Lexi replied giving me that creepy ‘I know your heart look’.

I didn’t hear everything he said but from what I heard, the priestess who was supposed to be having this class won’t be coming so he will be standing in for her. 

Just like the other days, it was hell having to seat in class watching him be all cool and handsome and what not. It’s awesome that I get to see him but it just sucks that I can’t speak with him, hold him and be normal with him. I fucked up big time that morning and I don’t care if he is only going to be using me as a plaything, as long as he is with me, I think I will be happy.

I zombie my way through my classes and as I stood in front of the door for the last class, I gave up. I turned around and I left.

I was very close to the bus stop when I bumped into Rose.

“Watch it” Rose said furiously but I ignored her. I just want to get as far away from here as I can but as always, something gets in my way. Standing in front of me was a young guy, he was well built but he has an air of arrogance to him.

“Isn’t sorry in your dictionary?” he asked with hands in his pocket.

“Go easy on her dude or Damian won’t spare you” Rose said in a very serious matter and I couldn’t help but wonder why.

“So, it’s her then, good thing I couldn’t care less about him” the rude guy replied

“Now, where were we? Apologize to her” he said in a commanding tone.

“Why?” I ask, putting both hands on my waist. If am going down then I won’t go down without a fight. 

“You bumped into her, am not blind” he said taking a step forward as if to intimidate me but I only scoffed. Damian is way more intimidating and hotter than this guy could ever dream of becoming so if he wants to intimate me then he is picking on the wrong gal.

“Whose to say that she wasn’t the one who bumped into me?” I asked folding my hands in front of my chest to show him that he doesn’t scare me.

“You…” Rose said, her face burning red.

“Easy Rose, let me handle Damian’s little bitch” he told her cockily and been as pissed as I was, I slapped him. 

He grabbed my hand furiously and said with a sad smile on his face “Feisty, but that won’t get you anywhere.”

I was about to knee him down there when I heard a familiar voice say from behind me “Let go of her”.

“Look who’s talking” the guy says, eyeing Josh.

“I know, am not a big shot like you but am an eye witness” Josh replied

“Excuse me?” the rude guy said angrily.

“Anything you do to her is a crime to all witches, because you will be starting a war that has been kept at bay for years. This is a ticking bomb that you wouldn’t want to mess with.” Josh replied and the rude guy let go of my hand.

“What does that mean?” I asked curiously but Rose and the guy just smiled.

“It means that I’ll have to see you next time bitch” the guy replied before walking away with Rose.

“You, okay?” he asked, looking at my arm. It is a little red but that’s all.

“Yeah, what’s his deal?” I asked looking at the back of that guy.

“He’s having a bit of a daddy issue so he’s going off the rails picking fight with whomever he thinks is weaker than him” he replied but there’s something else am interested in knowing.

“What did you mean by a war?” I ask, hoping he would satisfy my curiosity.

“It’s a witch thing and am sure you will figure it out in time” he replied

“Why don’t you tell me?” I ask, hoping I wouldn’t be disappointed with another vague answer.

“It’s a secret that am not allowed to disclose” he replied sincerely and I reluctantly decided to let go. 

“Sure, thanks Josh” I say with a smile, heading for the bus stop.

“You are always welcome Dev. Remember; friends stick together so if there is anything then don’t hesitate to talk to me” he says as my bus pulls over.

“There’s nothing” I say, lying again through my teeth even though I know he has been honest with me.

“As you wish princess” he replied

“Stop calling me princess” I scolded with a happy smile

“Can’t help it, you are a princess” he replied and I couldn’t help but smile brightly.

“Cliche but thanks.”  

“Thanks for what?” he asked in confusion though he was still smiling.

“For making me smile” I reply

“Be safe” he says as I climb onto the bus.

“I will” I reply, walking to my seat.

Somehow, Josh was able to make me relax by just making me smile.
