Colchester, 1985 Damon was known as the school’s biggest jerk. He often tormented students in the hallways with his mates, skipped classes, smoked weed here and there, and acted like a typical casanova. He never took his studies seriously, which was exactly why he ended up being called to the headmaster’s office. That same day, Isabella Iero was also called in. The headmaster informed her that she would be tutoring none other than Damon Albarn. Isabella already knew all about Damon’s reputation — which made her hesitant to accept the request. But she wasn’t exactly in a position to refuse, so she reluctantly agreed. After being informed, Damon accepted the arrangement, and it was decided that the tutoring sessions would take place at Isabella’s house at five in the afternoon, five times a week. Weeks passed, and Damon began showing up regularly. At first, the sessions were tense and quiet, but with time, the atmosphere started to change. Between sarcastic comments, stolen glances, and the occasional unexpected smile, they slowly began to understand each other. Damon wasn’t as impossible as Isabella had imagined — and she wasn’t as untouchable as he thought. One afternoon, Isabella had just gotten home after school and was relaxing in her room when she heard the doorbell ring. She went downstairs and opened the front door. There he was — Damon Albarn — standing outside with a cigarette in his hand and that same lazy expression she had grown used to seeing. “I’m here for the tutoring.” Damon said, tossing his cigarette aside before stepping inside.
