What do you know, Mom?

The next day.

Jamie's POV

ever since Damien left he was the only thing I could think of, he was everywhere. I saw him at practice, I saw him when I was trying to get work done, he was even in my dreams, and is it wrong that i imagine him doing horrible things to me when he's just a friend.

Angelica walked into my room without warning while giving a fake cough." You know I think you'd be pretty happy if Damien got into the department." she purred slyly. I turned my head away but she persisted.

"Especially if he ended up in this sad dorm" she continued teasing.

"Aren't you supposed to be the nice one"

" you seem to have mistaken me for Hailey" she turned my head roughly to her full, relaxed smile.

Her expression called down after knowing that i was listening."come on let's do something fun, your rut's tomorrow and I won't see you again for a week".she whined.

My rut starts tomorrow. I turned my head to the diary looking sketchbook that belonged to Damien. Can i get through my rut with the scent of a sketchbook?, I've never tried before.

"I know exactly who can get you to do something fun" I looked at her, giving her the permission to finish her sentence.

"They have a great kid that's really fun and they might take us to a place with lots of spicy food" my head retreated a little.

"your MOM!! "

At Jamie's house.

we stood at the door for about five minutes before Angelica took the initiative to knock on the door.

the door opened and my mother was revealed behind it. Her face lit up when she saw me and Angelica. "Oh Jamie!!, I thought I'd never see you again after you decided to run away to that theater club." she said as she smiled brightly at us.

"we do more than theater, mother" I replied coldly.

she shot us back a glare and finally let us in.As soon as we walked in Jasmine ran to hug Angelica, instead of me. They proceeded to laugh and run around.

I made my way to the living room and slouched myself over a couch. my mom went past without saying a word.

She came back with some medicine a few minutes later and handed it to me." you're here for this right?". I felt a little bad because she genuinely looked like she wanted to talk to me.

"You know me and Angelica made a new friend" her eyes lit up when she heard that. She made an 'ooh' sound urging me to continue.

" His name's Damien" her eyes went even brighter, but this time it was more as if she knew him.

" do you know him ?" she smiled, looked down and looked back at me. she shook her head

" Anything special about this 'Damien'?" she said teasing.

" I mean he has a thing for drawing detailed eyes alot" I said going off what I had seen in his sketch book, wasn't that just what everyone drew now?.

She sighed. " You know before I came here I was with Angelica" I nodded as she looked away from me.

"she told me that you may or may not have taken a liking to someone" she looked at me.

"this person wouldn't happen to be Damien would it ?" she looked at me dead eyed.

I didn't reply or nod, so she took the upper hand and led the conversation.

" Well Damien or not she said your being a whimp and won't tell them. So I'm here to tell you to man up." I rolled my eyes and looked away from her.

"Well Damien or not I wouldn't tell them no matter what you'd say" she frowned.

she moved over to sit next to me, she used her hand to pull my head to look at her.

" do you think I had you at eighteen by ignoring my feelings ?" my face went red.

"MOM !!, he's just a friend and I've only known him for a week !" she sighed and furrowed her eyebrows in thought again before she smiled again.

" I thought you said it wasn't Damien" she said teasingly.

I hid my face behind my hands and looked at her again, she looked smug.

" How about this try giving him some hints" I shot her a confused - annoyed look.

" You know like maybe trying to hold their hand or say sweet things to them, who knows maybe they won't turn out like your dad and actually get the hint" she said looking at me like she really thought it might work.

" I'll try" she smiled and looked at her phone. She said that Angelica and I should probably get going, so we could make it to curfew, since technically we weren't supposed to be here. Without permission at least.

I got upstairs and found Angelica and Jasmine hugging while talking to Hailey. I told her we had to leave and my sister hugged her tighter, did she even realize I was right here. She said she'd be down in ten minutes, so I left.

I went down to find my mom in the kitchen. She flipped her hair while turning to look at me. "Wha- " she was cut off when I almost run her over with a hug and she hugged me back. Angelica eventually came down and we were ready to leave.

" Wait !" we looked back to see my mom.

" They chose your sister" she said almost wanting to take the words back as she said it.

No.

Back at the dorms

Angelica walked me back to my room and smiled at me when we got to the door.

"See, aren't you happy I forced you outside". She said.

I looked back at the sketchbook with Damien's scent and smiled at her.

" You know what, I am". Her mouth opened in shock as she gave me hug.

I locked the door to my room and slid the key under the door, Angelica knocked twice to signal that she got the key.

The last thing I remember was getting Damien's sketchbook.
