He was a Devil.

A conniving Devil.

He was everywhere. In the class. At the gym. In the library. Garden. Cafeteria.

You name it.

He was a freaking stalking Devil. I had made it clear that I wasn’t gay at all. But he was all deaf ears to me. He was always giving this creepy perverted smile whenever our eyes meet. I swear, I will knock off all the teeth from his mouth. And to top that he is a celebrity. A freaking professional football player. And our coach’s son. And our school adores him.

Adorable??? My hairless ass!!! What the fuck he thinks of himself?? Except being an All star football player. Seriously, if he comes and touches me...(A/N: you are going to melt in his arms) I am going to cut off his balls and make him eat it. Freaking eat it!!!!!

For now he seems kind of busy so I am kind of relieved.  I found myself in the busy school hall with the noises of clanking of lockers, thumping of basketballs, laughter, shouts and screams. I sighed as I put on my hood and walk ignoring the brainless motherfuckers. I saw faraway Matthew Sanders with his girlfriend. Busy.......eating each other so I thought it was the best time to walk off quietly. I had two free periods so I went to the library where all the bookworms meet. For me it was a place where no one bothered me. As I opened the door my eye caught the colourful poster for the prom which was two months later.

“Prom.....where all the Barbies and Kens meet.” Said a girl standing beside me. She was all Goth. And rock and roll type. I looked at her and asked, “ So you too a promo phobic?”

She scoffed and said, “ So thats what they call it these days?”

“ No, a word I just invented.” I said with a smirk.

“Nice.” She muttered with a hint of smile.

“Never seen you before.” I said looking at the poster .

She sighed. “ New student. I am repeating senior year so yeah got transferred here by the folks.” She muttered.

“Not any of my business but where are you from?” I asked looking at her. She had brown eyes which looked like melted chocolate.

“ Florida. Not exactly a sun lover though.” She said. “Mom grew up in Oklahoma so here I am. Repeating the generation thingy. I am Jenna by the way."

“ Ethan,” I said as we shook hands. We smiled.

“ Well, I see here bonding do I?” said the voice that made me shiver like a rattle snake. I looked in the front to find Damian smiling away like an idiot. UGGGGHHH!!

“ You must be the new girl here in the middle of the term. Hi, I am Damian Steel, your gym coach and chemistry teacher.” He said shaking hands with her. Chemistry teac- What the fuck?

“ Jenna Mills. You aren’t Damian steel from the famous White wolves Football team are you?” She asked. Was I leaving under a rock??

“ I suppose I am.” He said with a smile. He looked at me and i immediately avoided eye contact.

“ Mr. Salt, can you help with these paper works? Its kind of heavy!!” he said with a small laugh.

Jenna looked at me and said, “ You do have Physics class right?” I nodded.

“ Well then see you after lunch.” She said and walked towards library.

After a long (awkward) silence, I looked up to see Damian staring at me with a smile. I scoffed and walked in the opposite direction.

“ Good morning, Ethan. You look lovely today!” he said walking beside me.

“ Lovely??? My ass!! What the fuck do you think?? I’m wearing a tutu or something.” I snapped. He chuckled and said, “ Even in tutu you would look lovely as hell you know.”

“ I think so I should add it in my fetish list.” He was murmuring rather to him self.

See?? Stalking!!!!

“ Shut up you crazy Bastard.” I muttered. He sighed.

“ Apart from all the jokes.” He said and pulled me towards him with all the papers scattered on the floor. I looked at him with wide shocked eyes. I could feel myself trembling against him. His green eyes no more filled with humour but........passion. His pale pink lips right in front of mine.

“Don’t you dare go out with that girl or any other woman do you understand?” he silently whispered on my lips, barely touching mine. I don’t know how but I had a sudden urge to pull him in a kiss but I controlled myself.

“Ethan, Mark my words. Whether I am your teacher or a known player. Or just a normal man. You are mine and only mine to keep.” He said and gave me a small peck on my lips. He smiled and whispered in my ears, “ Gay or not.” Making my ears go red.

He chuckled and said,” Now will you pick up these papers. I am kind of clumsy with these things. I promise you I will give you brownie points.” There comes back the cheerful Damian again.

He walks off towards the staff room while I stand there with a flushed face and trembling hands.

“Motherfucker.....” I murmur in awe.

I was home before I knew it. Escaping that creepy bastard was hard. As I told you all, he is everywhere.  I had a fun time Jenna. She was cool and all. Most of our thoughts are same. Except she loves novels, I don’t. She gave me her number so we could hang out coming weekends.

I saw Cecily drawing something which looked like a butterfly (which she said was a house). I went into the kitchen to find no one.

“ Cecily, where is dad?” I shouted. “ At the backyard, he bought a dog.” She said.

“Seriously” I cried as I dropped my bag in the living room. “ Yup!! Her name is Bessie.” She said continuing her drawing.

I walked outside at the backyard to find my dad making a Kennel for the dog.

“ Nice work, dad.” I said. He looked back and smiled.

“ Well, it seemed okay to bring a dog in the house. Its kind of lonely in the house nowadays. Now that your mom isn’t here.” He said with a sigh.

I saw a German Shepherd running around the water hose at the corner.

“ So you’re replacing mom with a dog.” I said with a chuckle.

He laughed and said,” No, No. Its just I needed a friend for a change you know busy yourself all the day.”

“ And while you’re in the office? What are you gonna do?” I asked.

“ About that...ummm, Ethan you see.....I don’t have the job any more.” He said. I stared at him in shock.

“ What?” I said with a scoff. He went inside, towards the kitchen and washed his hands. I followed him in and asked again, “ What do you mean you don’t have the job? You got fired or something?”

He sighed and sat on a stool. He looked spaced out and.....tired. He looked so lost that I felt sorry for him. “ Dad....”

“ The bank got busted. It has no money. Something happened and everybody is jobless in a second.” He poured out.

“ We hadn’t even gotten our salary for the last month. I checked my account everyday, still no money was transferred. Everyday Ethan!! Everyday I checked, no change. People were getting curious. No sign of the head of the department. And then the next day they announced it was over, the bank was over.” He said with his both palms covering his eyes. I just stared at him because thats all I could do right then.That was when I realized I was so helpless, without Dad, without my sister.

“ Thats why I have been pressuring you about your studies and grades. I know I shouldn’t but I can’t help it. Ethan I am so sorry. I can’t feed you or help you. I can’t be a good dad.” He whispered harshly. For the first time in my life, I saw my dad vulnerable and tired. I walked towards him and took a deep breath and hugged him.

“ Dad, I promise I will work hard. Don’t worry,dad. I will do my best. You will get a job better and more paying. You don’t worry dad. Everything will be alright.” I said. I could feel him hugging me back.

For the first time, I believed in what I had just said. Everything will be alright.

                                                        *****************************

It was 2 at night when my phone rang like hell. I grumbled and looked at the clock. Who the hell would it be? I picked up my phone and answered, “ Who is this?”

“ Wow! I am in love with your husky voice.” He said.

“ Stalker!! I mean Damian??” I said in a confused voice and sat up in bed switching the light on.

“ Will you speak again, I want to record it.” He said with his cheerful voice.

“ Do you know what the time is?? And how the hell did you get my number.” I asked annoyed.

“ I couldn’t note the time zone, sorry. And being a teacher has its own fun.” He said and in the background there was a lot of noise.

“ There is a hell lot of noise over there, where are you?”  I asked.

“ Oh! I am in London. We have a friendly match with the Englishmen. A match of rugby. Hahahahaha!! Thats what they call it you know.” He said

“ I know Dumbass.”

“ You know I interrogated with the Jenna Girl, you can hang out with her.” He said.

“ I can hang out with whoever I want. And what do you mean by interrogated??” I was way much annoyed.

“ Nothing. Don’t worry. Have fun with her okay?” he said with a chuckle.

“ So you just woke me up at 2 in the morning to tell me you are playing football in England guys and you talked with Jenna? You are mad.” I said.

There was a long pause and a deep breath was taken.

“ I miss you.” He said in his shy voice. My heart thumped like crazy. I could feel myself blushing.

“ Are you blushing?? If you are, then send me a photo okay?” he said.

“ Just go to sleep dumbass.” I managed to say.

“ Goodnight, love. I won’t be coming this week so it’s going to be hell.” He said, I could just imagine him giving a cocky smile.

“Sleep.” I said and disconnected the call.

I don’t know why but as I found myself drifting to sleep, I had a smile plastered on my face.
