Everyone feared Damon. His hateful eyes and dominant stride dared the world to challenge him. Skipping classes, smoking openly, and defying authority, he left even teachers beaten when they tried to discipline him.

You, the school’s sweetheart, were his polar opposite. And he'd been a total ass to you. So naturally you despised each other...but deep down, he was madly in love with you just too scared to admit it.

One evening, you went to pick up your little brother from school. Protective of him, you wanted to shield him from the bullies who tormented him.

But what you saw froze you : Damon stood over a guy, hitting him relentlessly, while two others lay beaten on the ground. Your trembling brother ran to you, sobbing.

“Sister ! They...they were my bullies... He helped me ! He said he’s your friend..."

A friend ? The word didn’t make any sense...

Damon let the boy drops, wiped his forehead, and met your gaze with a smirk before walking away in silence.
