Chapter 7 Damn Damon

Hera's p.o.v

I walked slowly to my locker with a low sigh. I memorized everything that was on the document and that included my class as well as my locker number. I was still nervous and felt kind of lost.

"Hey." An annoying voice I had heard earlier called from behind.

I turned and faced the guy that had given me a lift. He was smiling and his braces were showing.

"Damn it, why the fuck was he in front of me. Was he stalking me by chance?" I asked myself silently.

"Are you following me?" I asked seriously.

"No, no way, I just thought of helping you find your classroom." He answered creeping me out.

"So you were waiting for me to come out of the office?" I asked with a raised brow.

"Pshhh what?. No way." He answered with a nervous chuckle.

I could tell that he was definitely lying.

"Fine," I answered then turned to put in my locker combination.

"Um... You know that this place is a college right, but it has a lot of courses. I was wondering which ones you will be taking. Is it Computer Science & Information Systems? Or maybe

Engineering & Technology? Perhaps Business & Management Studies?" He asked.

I sighed loudly when the locker opened. I removed a book from my bag and a spare pen then put it carefully in.

"Is it Medicine.....

Economics & Econometrics. ...

Law. ...

Mechanical, Aeronautical & Manufacturing Engineering. ...

Or

Architecture. ...?" He asked.

I shut the locker and turned to face him coldly.

It hasn't even been five minutes and I was already annoyed with him.

"I'm here for Art & Design." I answered lazily.

"Wow, that's impressive, but not as impressive as what I am studying. I do Engineering & Technology." He said pissing me off.

"You know, the engineering & technology subject area covers six different branches of engineering as well as computer science. The full list of engineering & technology subjects is as follows:

Computer Science & Information Systems which I'm currently studying then:

Chemical Engineering

Civil & Structural Engineering

Electrical & Electronic Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

Mineral & Mining Engineering

Petroleum Engineering." He said as I greeted my teeth in anger.

"I have a class to go to. So if you are done barking please excuse me." I answered loudly.

When a few gasps erupted I quickly looked around and noticed how everyone was staring at me coldly.

"Did you just hear her call him a dog?" A lady who stood opposite me asked her friend.

I quickly looked at the guy with braces and noticed how his eyes were filled with tears.

"Hey man look...." I started my apology but stopped when he turned and walked away.

"Damn it," I whispered under my breath.

"Damn right you mean." A lady's voice came from my right side. I turned and saw her approach me. All eyes were on her and I couldn't blame those that were looking, the lady was freaking gorgeous with the two ladies beside her.

"Um....." I whispered hesitantly when she stood in front of me with a smile then flipped her rich blond hair back.

"Hi, I'm Sally." She said as she extended her hand.

I frowned while looking at her extended hand.

Judging from her expensive ripped jean trousers and bearless blouse I could tell that she was some rich girl. Her friends too were in something similar. Skinny jeans and a beautiful see-through blouse, they too were blond.

Wait, what the hell were they putting on?. Did the lectures not see their dress code?.

She grabbed my hand and shook it with a giggle.

"You are?" She asked.

"I'm Hera," I answered hesitantly.

"Mm nice name, this on my left is Elisa and this on my right is Hailey." She said with a wide smile.

Everything about them was so damn wrong and what was with such a setup, it was like a freaking clique movie where all blonds were rich popular kids. Damn, their bodies too were the actual deal out of a teen movie drama, slim and tall. My guess was that they were like those in mean girls.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked softly.

"Sure love." She answered then dropped her hand.

"Are you perhaps the leader of the cheerleaders squad?" I asked.

"Of course duh, and so are my two friends beside me." She answered in an annoying voice.

They definitely were from mean girls or perhaps bring it on.

"Would you like to join us?" She asked.

"No," I answered without a second thought.

They were planning to humiliate me or something right?.

"Too bad, and here I thought you had the strength that most people lacked. Girl, the way you handled that guy was what we call girl power. We love seeing a woman handle herself well." She said softly.

I was able to correct her and point out how rude I was to him when I swallowed my own words.

A tall, dark, good-looking guy approached us as I held in my breath. He had his long black hair let down, his eyes were light brown and his lips were a dark pink. For a second I thought he was afro American, but when he got closer, I could see a few Asian features. I hated to admit it but the man was pure hot.

"Hey, babe." He said cheerfully and leaned in to kiss Sally.

I breathed out and lowered my gaze.

Somehow I saw this shit coming. The most good-looking man in college or high school was always stuck with the freaking mean bitch. And then the man soon got attracted to a nice innocent lady while the girlfriend made hell for the poor innocent girl. The shit was brutal and it usually progressed horribly.

I wasn't going to stick around and entertain such shit.

I turned without a word and walked away.

I was about to turn when I felt someone poke me from behind.

I turned with a cold glare and met Damon's eyes.

"You look pissed." He whispered softly.

I looked behind him and noticed a few ladies ahead. In front of those few ladies was Sally and her two friends.

Her friendly expression was gone. All I could see was a death stare.

Damn Damon. Why the fuck was he here talking to me. I wanted a peaceful life In college, not a hell hole I had gone through in high school.

Fuck him!.
