Seems like our timid Dabby might be getting some nerves. Or, she was probably just too frustrated. How would Damien react?
Dabby: It was after I returned to my room and sat on the bed, that I realized what I had said to Damien. Even though I knew that it was the truth and that we could really be stuck with one another till the end, I shouldn't have said anything to Damien. "You shouldn't have said it, Dabby. You shouldn't!" I scolded myself and stood up from the bed to pace around the room, wondering if that would even make him hate me more. My mind flashed back to the look he gave me when I said that, like I didn't even exist as someone reasonable before him. He just stood up and left the scene immediately. It was disheartening to know that I was trying my best to honor his wishes, and getting him to like me, but I was even doing it wrongly and getting things worse. 'But, I was so sick of hearing and knowing that he wanted us to leave. That he didn't like being family, as much as I hated it too. We really have a choice.'"You are fine, Dabby. You've got this. You can do it. You can survive even
Dabby: I left the school premises but did not want to go home, which left me with the decision of visiting the main town to do whatever I liked. I got an idea after I saw the huge cinema in front of me the moment I dropped from the bus, and quickly paid for a ticket so as to watch the next movie . It was fun to watch and I spent more than two hours at the cinema, that I had temporarily forgotten the problem I had left behind in school. After the movie ended, I walked into a random mall I saw, to pick out some nice outfits for myself since it had been a while since I went shopping. I approached the makeup session after realizing that I didn't have any makeup for myself, and picked out different colors of lipstick, eye shadow and nail polish. I picked some hair products too, and anything I felt like I needed. After I was done shopping, I went to a park and spent the rest of the day there till evening, eating and scrolling through the internet. By the time I was ready to go home
Damien: The feeling was different when I got to school after Dabby had left home, and it felt like so many curious eyes around had questions for me. Though no one was approaching me because of the fear, my friends were the first to ask me about her. "You dating the nerd girl your girlfriend bullies? That's some crazy shading for her," Bryan laughed so derisively, at the fact that the news flying around would hurt Madison's ego. "Shit is crazy. The students' chat room is blowing up. The girls said they would rather you date girls with a standard than that girl. I think Madison is doing the major stir, since she isn't the victim anymore," Xavier added, as he continued to scroll through his phone and laughed out loud at anything that was funny. "No man. How would you expect me to go for that clumsy girl?" I finally cleared the air with both of them, as I took a sip from the wine I was taking. We were sitting in our own personal space in school and chilling. "The girl is going to b
Dabby:I do not know where the idea came from as I continued to say whatever came to mind, when I knew that I could not take it any longer. I had to say something to clarify the relationship between I and Damien, before the last straw of pressure from everyone breaks the camel's back. I didn't know how, but everything became settled in that manner and I was proud of myself. Mason signaled to me from where he stood, and that was what finally pushed me to continue talking. I was tired of being a pitiful person to him. "Oh Dabby, I am so proud of you," he commended and smiled after I went over to meet him, and we both walked to the classroom together. The news about the truth I told everyone, had spread so fast."I am finally glad that I can have a normal life back. Thank you for your support, Mason," I appreciated him genuinely with a smile, and he patted my head. If I didn't have anyone who supported me to be honest, I would have been thrown off by everything that had happened
DABBY: The remaining days at school became so tiring for me, knowing well that Damien was my partner for the social interaction project. It was really going to be difficult because it required a good amount of talking, comparing, contrasting and even other things. We would also choose a movie to watch, and separately write our own view about what we had learnt. That would also be submitted alongside our report. I had been chosen with an entirely wrong person, to do a project that was supposed to be fun. There were so many things that the project entailed in detail, and I wouldn't be able to complete even the guest stage with Damien. He hated me, and he would certainly make it difficult for me to pass. So many girls were wondering among themselves who got to pick Damien's name, and there was certainly no way that I was going to own up to it, after a dramatic morning. The only person I could tell was Mason. "This is really bad. You also need an A in this course to make a perfect
Damien: With the weird arrangements in choosing a partner for the social project, the only person that occured to my mind never to be paired with was Madison. It was a glaring fact that she would suffer fully for the consequences of her actions, and we would both get an F. After school hours were over, I ditched my friend's idea to hang out together and went for a long drive. After I had driven round the city so many times, I finally gathered my thoughts and stopped by at a cafe to eat something since I had not been eating well for a while. As I entered with the expectation to sit at my favorite spot which was always unoccupied, I was quite disappointed to see that a lady had taken the spot which made me turn away immediately. I reluctantly took the next seat in sight, and sat down immediately to start my job. I ordered cake and cookies to start with, but found it hard to eat after taking a few bites. My stomach was really empty, but I was finding it hard to eat. I request
Dabby: I had packed the remaining food from dinner into the oven after I was done eating, and cleaned up the kitchen before I returned back to the room. After changing my clothes into my pajamas, I laid in bed restlessly, thinking of the response that Damien gave concerning the project. It really hurt my heart to know that he wanted to mess up the project, without even considering that our performances determined two people's scores. I couldn't afford to fail, and I knew I had to convince him again. Quickly, I got my bag and brought out a note that I would write out lists of simple questions, that he could fill by himself without having to be so close. If he provided me with the few answers I needed, I could as well finish off the rest with my own ideas and inform him later about them. About the movie, I also made lists of movies that would be easy to watch and understand, which I planned on suggesting to him the next day. We could watch it separately, and I would document
Damien: The moment I talked about doing the project together with Dabby, she became so flustered and rushed out of the room almost immediately. "I want to go get water!" I heard her mouthing down the stairs, as she hastened her steps. It made me snicker at her clumsiness. Observing how flushed she was earlier while staring at the movements of my hands on my body, made me realize even how much of a nerd she was. It wouldn't even take so much to have her wrapped in my beautiful web. I stood in the mirror and stared conceitedly at myself, wondering if I was still in one piece and not totally broken. I had really good looks, a hot smoking body without much workout, and I've got a wealthy dad. It was everything to make me feel good. I wore a pair of free black shorts and matching sweatshirt, and sprayed a different cologne from my usual one over my body. As I hairdry my hair to dry off all the water, a message popped on my phone and it was Xavier. He was complaining that he got pai
