*Elies Robert is a shy yet determined senior who decides to finally confess her long-hidden crush through a love letter. However, her confession goes awry when the letter ends up in the hands of Damien, the school’s notorious bad boy. Rather than dismissing her, Damien claims Elies as his “girlfriend” to everyone, whether she likes it or not. As she tries to navigate the chaos that follows, she finds herself continuously drawn into Damien’s world of intense emotions, jealousy, and possessive attention.*
View MoreElies navigated the bustling hallways with her usual determination to avoid unwanted attention. Her interactions with Damien had already painted a target on her back, and she wasn’t in the mood for any more drama. She kept her head down, clutching her books tightly, when a voice rang out behind her. “Elies! Wait up!” The familiar voice sent a ripple of surprise through her. Turning around, she saw Kayla approaching, her long hair bouncing with each step and a confident smile plastered across her face. Elies frowned. She and Kayla had never interacted beyond polite nods in passing, so this sudden attention was more than suspicious. “Hey,” Elies said cautiously, her tone neutral. Kayla’s smile widened. “I’ve been meaning to talk to you. Do you have a minute?” Elies glanced at the clock on the wall. She still had time before her next class, but every instinct told her to find an excuse and leave. Unfortunately, Kayla wasn’t someone you could easily brush off. “Sure, I guess,”
The school hallways buzzed with the usual chatter, lockers slamming shut, and footsteps echoing on the polished floor. Elies moved quickly, clutching her books tightly to her chest as if they were a shield. Her hope for a drama-free day was fleeting, as she felt Damien’s presence even before she saw him. It was like the air changed when he was near—heavy with confidence and a touch of mischief. She didn’t have to turn around to know he was leaning casually against the locker beside hers, arms crossed, watching her every move. “Elies,” he drawled lazily, a smirk audible in his tone. “Running away already?” “I’m not running,” she shot back without looking at him. “Good. Because we wouldn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea,” he said, stepping closer until he was right beside her. “You’re mine, after all.” Elies froze, her grip on her books tightening. She turned to face him, her eyes blazing. “I told you to stop saying that, Damien. I’m not yours, and I never will be.” “Hmm,
The day started like any other, with Elies hoping she could keep a low profile. However, the reality of her current situation meant that low profile and peace were luxuries she no longer enjoyed. From the moment she stepped into the school building, Damien’s presence was impossible to ignore. Whether it was the way he lingered near her locker, his sharp eyes scanning anyone who so much as glanced in her direction, or how he suddenly appeared in the same hallway she was in, Damien was everywhere. His possessiveness was suffocating, and Elies had no idea how to escape it. Her latest encounter with Damien had left her jittery. The whispered “You’re mine” from earlier that morning replayed in her head, and she could still feel the way his eyes bore into her as she hurried away. She tried her best to focus on her classes, but every time she thought she was safe, Damien’s shadow loomed again. It was during lunch when the situation escalated. Elies had decided to sit at a quieter tab
Elies hadn’t even reached her locker that morning before she noticed Damien leaning casually against it, as if he owned the space. His presence was magnetic, drawing curious stares from students passing by. She braced herself, knowing his teasing was likely about to reach a new level.“Good morning, my girl,” Damien greeted with a smirk as she approached, his voice loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.Elies’ face reddened instantly. She glanced around, aware of the surprised glances from her classmates. “Your… what?” she managed, trying to keep her tone steady.He leaned in close, his smirk deepening. “Did I stutter? My girl,” he repeated, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. “Got a problem with that, Elies?”Taking a steadying breath, Elies ignored the flutter in her chest and rolled her eyes. “I’m not ‘yours,’ Damien. I think you have me confused with someone else.”“Oh, you’re definitely mine,” he said smoothly, crossing his arms over his chest, making it impossib
Elies had made up her mind. After the countless rumors, the constant whispers, and the relentless attention, it was time to distance herself from Damien once and for all. She couldn’t handle the way he was playing with her emotions, the way he seemed to enjoy watching her squirm under the spotlight. He was a master at controlling the narrative, and it was driving her crazy. That morning, she took extra care in choosing her outfit, deliberately picking something that would help her blend in, rather than stand out. No flashy colors, no attention-grabbing accessories—just simple, understated. She hoped that would help her avoid any unnecessary attention. But, as usual, things didn’t go as planned.As she walked into her first class, there he was—Damien—leaning casually against the doorframe with that signature smirk playing on his lips. He was talking to a group of students, laughing, but as soon as he spotted her, his eyes locked onto hers. “Elies,” he called out in his usual mocking
Elies took a deep breath, trying to steel herself as she approached the cafeteria. The entire morning had been a whirlwind of whispers and stares, all centered around her supposed “relationship” with Damien Blackwood. She’d had enough of it—of him. She was going to put an end to his little game, once and for all.As soon as she stepped inside the bustling cafeteria, her gaze landed on Damien. He was sitting with his usual crowd, laughing at something his friend said, looking entirely too pleased with himself. The way he leaned back, so at ease and in control, only fueled her anger.Ignoring the growing stares from students around her, she made her way over to his table, her footsteps purposeful and unyielding. The cafeteria gradually quieted, everyone watching the scene unfold.“Damien!” Elies called out, her voice louder than she intended. She noticed several heads turn, eyes widening in interest. She didn’t care. She was done letting him control the narrative.Damien looked up, his
*Elies hurried down the hallway, her mind racing as she tried to figure out what on earth had just happened. How could Damien so casually declare her his girlfriend in front of everyone? The way he seemed to take control over the situation, without even a second thought, made her stomach churn with both frustration and a strange, unfamiliar excitement.As she rounded the corner, she caught sight of Damien leaning casually against the wall, that smug grin plastered across his face. He was clearly waiting for her, like a hunter lying in wait for his prey. She took a deep breath, determined to confront him. This had to stop.“Damien,” she started, her voice wavering slightly but still resolute. “We need to talk.”He looked at her, feigning surprise. “Oh? Is my girlfriend already trying to break up with me? You know, we just started this relationship, Elies. Don’t tell me you’re bailing already.”She clenched her fists, trying to ignore the flutter in her chest every time he called her h
It was an ordinary school day, or at least it was supposed to be. Elies was busy gathering her books from her locker, trying to ignore the whispers and glances she’d been catching from other students ever since her letter to Chris had mysteriously wound up with Damien. She felt like every step she took, someone was watching, and she wished for nothing more than to slip into the background, unnoticed.But Damien had other plans.Across the hallway, leaning against a row of lockers, Damien watched her with that unmistakable glint in his eyes. He’d been sending her smirks and cocky smiles all morning, which only made her more self-conscious. He was up to something, she could feel it, but she couldn’t imagine what.Then, without warning, he pushed himself off the locker and strolled right over to her. His steps were unhurried, his confidence radiating as he approached, ignoring the students who gaped at him with awe, curiosity, and even a hint of fear.“Elies,” he said loudly, making sure
Damien’s eyes lingered on Elies as she walked away, her head held high, her steps firm despite the heated encounter. There was something oddly captivating about her resilience, the way she hadn’t flinched or looked away, even when he tried to intimidate her. It had been a long time since anyone stood up to him like that. Most students at Oakwood High either cowered in his presence or avoided him altogether, keeping a safe distance. But Elies was different, and he couldn’t help but notice it.He leaned back in his seat, a sly smile tugging at the corners of his lips. Jake, sitting beside him, chuckled as he shook his head.“I gotta hand it to her, man,” Jake said, his voice laced with amusement. “She’s got guts. You don’t usually let people talk to you like that.”Damien shrugged, his gaze still focused on where Elies had returned to her table, her friends animatedly talking to her, likely encouraging her after her bold move. “She’s interesting,” he replied, a hint of intrigue in his v
