Oliver’s pov

Rhea:” what was his name? Liven? Simon?…no! Wait! Ivan! Yeah that sounds right. Ivan.”
She snaps her fingers in recognizing motion.

Ivan!?? He goes to this school now!??
I looked at Damon, shit….

Damon:” thank you…rhea.”

Rhea:” you sound pissed………ohhhh
…we don’t like ivan…..do we?”

Damon:” no…..no we do not.”

Now****

Damon’s pov *

..

Ivan did this on purpose. He is just testing every button I have.

Rhea:” HA! I knew he gave off a douchbag vibe.”

Oliver:” why is Ivan here?….damon?”
I slightly looked at Oliver.

Damon:” don’t worry about it. He won’t bother you.”

Rhea:” dame. We REALLY don’t like him huh?”

Oliver:” no.”

He’s here for torment. Most likely here for Oliver as well.
Chatter can be heard from down the hall.

“People people please, I just need a tour of this lovely school. It is my first day after all~”
Mhm…..

Girl student:” Ivan we have maths together, I’ll show where the room is, if you’d like?”

Boy student:” hey Ivan you should join the wrestling team. You got a fit body for it!”

Ivan:” i’ll be sure to check up on that. Sounds intriguing “

Oliver:” this…asshole…..”
I placed my hand on his back.

Damon:” come Oliver. We have to get to class.”
He nods.
I’m going to keep Oliver away from Ivan.
And I could tell that rhea was giving me a look.
The sneaky look.
We all walked down the hall, away from Ivan. Til we got to Oliver’s class.

Oliver:” thank you. I’ll see you guys later.”
Rhea hugs him.
But Oliver glaces at me and smiles.
Then heads into class.
I started to go to my class til I noticed that the Bug was still following me.

Damon:” yes Rhea?”

Rhea:” you know what.”
I furrowed my brows.

Damon:” no…..no I don’t think I do.”

Rhea:” ohhh your playing dumb huh? Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been up too. You know. With oliverrr.”

Damon:” you’ve lost me.”

Rhea:” have I? You and Oliver!”
She slaps my arm.

Rhea:” have you two finally tied the knot!?”

Damon:” Would you keep your voice down? I think Italy can hear you.”
She gasps.

Rhea:” you have!!!! EKK I KNEW IT! YOU AND OLIV-”
I covered her mouth as she continued to speak.
Then a felt a wet feeling on my hand.

Damon:” ugh! Did you just lick hand?!”
I took a handkerchief out and wiped my hand.

Rhea:” yes. And it’s obvious Damon! I saw the hints~ on his neck~ and the fact that he was walking quite weird, wouldn’t you say? Must’ve really had fun huh?~”

Damon:” what even makes you think that I did that?”
She raises a brow.

Rhea:” Damon your like a Shepard, you wouldn’t let anyone do that to him but you. Also, he came to school with you! In YOUR car! I’m not an idiot Damon. I can tell when these things happen. Plus its me! You tell me everything, and if you don’t, I find out anyway.”

Damon:” very well…..you win-“
She squeals excitedly.

Damon:” but he doesn’t want anyone to know. To keep that mouth of your shut.”

Rhea:” awe Damon, you act like you don’t know me. I’ll just tell Alex “

Damon:” rhea.”
I said with a firm tone.

Rhea:” she’s my girlfriend!”
I gave a sigh.

Damon:” fine but NO one else. Got it? I’m serious. “
She nods.

Rhea:” yeah. I kinda saw this happening from a mile away. Since the first day you introduced me to oliver. You looked obsessed. “
I thought for a bit.
He does make me crazy. I can’t keep myself sane around him.
I just want to keep him safe.

Rhea:” im glad you two got together. Very cute. HEHE AND SMUTY”

Damon:” Rhea get it together. And go to class.”

Rhea:” ffiinneee I’ll see you love birds laterrr~~
She walks away skipping.
Such a child.
But a good friend.

Oliver’s pov ***
..
I got into class with my head down.
Just lookin out for any fuckers that want to place their foots out and trip me……again….
But no one tried to. All I heard were whispers.

Student:” did you hear about the new guy? Dude he’s like Damon!”

Oh fuck…their talking about Ivan.
Why is he even here?? It’s definitely not a coincidence that he’s going to this school now. Mhmm…he could be doing this to piss of Damon. Probably to mess with me too but I’m not going to let him.

Teacher walks in.

Teacher:” alright class calm down clam down. Kenny, phone away. Alright we have a new student joining us. So let’s greet him well.”
Oh fuck me!!!!

Ivan:” hello everyone. Nice to meet you all. I hope we alll can be friends.”
He looks at me.
What the fuck!!??! He’s crazy!!!

Teacher:” alright you can siiiiit”
I look around me……Shit……

Teacher:” ah right behind Oliver. “
Really? THIS is my luck!?

Ivan:” thank you. And may i say thats one good looking tie on you sir. Very professional.”
The teacher smiles.
What a suck up….
He walks towards me
Then winks. I ignored it.
He sighs as he sits down behind me.

Teacher:” alright you heard him. Be good to each other alright? Okay. Today we are gunna be learning about the history of-…..”
Fuck. I can’t believe this. He looked up my schedule and found out which is my homeroom. He’s unbelievable.
The students whispers about Ivan. How kind and hot he is!? They are delusional.
Then I felt a tap on my shoulder.
No way. Not responding to him.

Ivan:” psst hey. I don’t have a pencil. Can I borrow one?”
Again I ignored him.

Ivan:” awe don’t be like that. I just want a pencil.”

Oliver:” I don’t have one. Ask someone else.”

Ivan:” but I wanted to ask you.”
Then I ignored him again.

Student:” psst hey Ivan I have a pencil for you~”

Ivan takes the pencil. you can hear him strain his voice but in a polite way.

Ivan:” thanks so much. I appreciate it.”
The student smiles.
..

….
Time goes by and the class ended.
I quickly gathered my things and left the room.
I didn’t even bother to see if Ivan was trying to follow.
But this is bad.

Time lapes**
Gym comes around.
I got changed and saw Damon by his locker.
Some guys were talking to him about sports.
I tried not to look at damon but it was frustratingly hard not too.

Ivan:” watcha looking at?”

Oliver:” AH!”
Scared the fuck outta me!!!
Ivan laughs.

Oliver:” what the fuck?? Are you following me around??”
He leans on the locker.

Ivan:” no just coincidence. “

Oliver:” for some reasons I highly doubt that. Leave me alone. Seriously. “

Ivan:” oooo so hostile.”
I rolled my eyes. And started to walk away.

Student:” wait does the new guy know Oliver? Seriously?”

Student:” yeah…isn’t that crazy? First he comes here with damon, now Ivan happens to know oliver….”
Great….out comes new gossip….

Student:” oliver just wants attention, he’s a gold digger and a fag… “
What actually go through their fucking heads when they say that shit!? They don’t know me! Oh…..I guess that’s why they are saying that shit. Because they don’t know me. They only assume what they see.
I looked over at damon. He’s distracted by the guys…
I walked over to go to the gym.

Ivan:” so what are we-“
I turned and stopped Ivan.

Oliver:” you can’t take a hint huh? First you pull that shit at that party, then you had the audacity to even touch me, and now your fucking following me. And for what?”
I stopped talking. Realizing people were around me.
No one was really listening.

Oliver:” just……leave me alone….”
It worked. I walked away without him following…
I need to clear my head.
I sat at the bleachers.

Coach:” ALRIGHT YOU MAGGOTS FALL IN.”
Ugh….5 more minutes….
Everyone sat at the bleachers.

Damon:” hey.”
My smile grew.
Damon.
Some people followed him but gave him space.

Damon:” you okay?…I understand Ivan is in this gym class. He didn’t bother you did he?”

Oliver:” meh… “
Then we spot Ivan with the other students. Laughing.

Damon:” don’t worry about him…okay?”

Oliver:” he’s in my homeroom Damon. “
He looks at me with furrowed brows.
I don’t know how else I can avoid him besides just ignoring him.

Damon:” this bastard he-“

Oliver:” it’s fine…I told him off…okay? Like you said don’t worry about it.”

Damon kept his brows furrowed.

Oliver:” ill just keep ignoring him ok? Eventually he has to get the idea that I now want nothing to do with him.”
Damon nods.

Damon:” he should’ve gotten that idea since the beginning…”

Coach:” ALRIGHT, today we are doing through some drills!!!! Rope climbing, and pulls ups!!”
I’m sitting this one out. Since my hand……. It’s healing well so. The only thing bothering me.

Damon:” least you get you sit out for this event.”

Oliver:” exactly what I was thinking.”

Coach:” LETS ALL TRY THIS TIME!! I don’t want Damon the only one getting the highest score like last time. Rope first! Who’s up….ah well newbie! Why don’t you show what your made of…huh!?”
Ivan stood up.

Ivan:” of course Coach! I shall show my best!”

Coach:” no one likes a suck up!!”
HA!
Ivan goes to the rope.

Coach:” what you have to beat is 11 seconds!!!!”

Ivan:” 11 seconds?? That’s all?~”
Some girls were giggling to the side.
Ugh.

Coach:” GO!”
And like that Ivan was off.
In a bit he reaches the top and rings the bell.

Coach:” TIME!!! 10 SECONDS RECORD BEATEN!!”
everyone went crazy.
Ivan makes his way down.

Ivan:” and who’s score did I beat?”

Coach:” Damon hellings score. Good job sport.”
Dammit.

Student:” whoa! Dude you just beaten Damon’s score!!”

Coach:” Hey Hellings!!”
Damon looked at the coach.
All attention was on him.

Coach:” why don’t you come down here and try to gain redemption?”
Damon furrowed his brows.
I forgot to mention. Coach loves drama. What he loves more then drama is CAUSING the drama.
He feels the war vibe coming between Damon and ivan. So does everyone else.

Oliver:” you don’t have too.”

Damon:” oh I know I don’t. I just want to see such look on his face when I beat it.”
Ah jeez.
Damon gets up and goes down the bleachers then by the rope.
Coach puts a cocky smile on.

Coach:” and your time starttttss……NOW!”
And off Damon goes. Shit!! He seems to go faster than Ivan!
Cheering can be hear from other students.
DING DING***

Coach:” TIME 8 SECONDS!! YOUR BEST YET HELLINGS.”
Damon goes down.

Students:”YEAH AWESOME!!”

Student 2:” NO ONE CAN BEAT HELLINGS”

Coach:” nice going kid. Your name stays on the board.”
He pats his back.

I see that Ivan and Damon looking at each other.
Yeesh….it’s like a cheetah and a panther, head to head.
Damon comes up to me.

Oliver:” that was amazing. You went so fast!”
Damon gave me a smirk.

Damon:” above all, it was worth it. Seeing his face was quite amusing.”

Coach:”ALRIGHT ALRIGHT SETTLE DOWN! who’s next!!!???”
After a while most people went but non could beat either Ivan’s or Damon’s score.

Coach:”OKAY after the disappointing display……time for pull ups!!”
Moans and grones form from the students.

Coach:” yeah yeah it’s your favorite, IVAN! your up first. “
Again the same cocky smile shows on the coaches face.
Ivan stretches.

Coach:” the most is 112. Of course it’s hellings.”

Ivan:” HA! 112? That’s the best you can do?”
Ugh!

Coach:” hey remember the last time you said something like that?! You got a minute!! Go!”
Then Ivan starts.
After about 20 seconds he’s at 52.
Why do people make it look so easy?
..

Coach:” TIME! HIGH SCORE IS 115!”

Ivan:” Ooo fun~”

Coach:” and hellings let’s go! It’s been a year since the last time. Let’s go.”
I could hear damon grunt a bit.
In annoyance.
Damon goes to the bar.

Coach:” TIME starts….NOW!”
And just like that…. Faster then Ivan.
Slightly trying to control myself. But you can see his muscles form after each pull up…..just brings me back to last night……hey whoa hey…come back to the now please!
I blinked couple times to stay focus.

Coach:” TIME!! NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE!! 125!!! OUTSTANDING!!”
And again Ivan looked livid.
Ha. I get what Damon sees.
Damon walks over to me.

Oliver:” your right. It is amusing to see his face like that.”

Damon:” see.”

Ivan:” well it seems you’ve bested me damon….again.”

Damon:” surprised?” He chuckles.

Ivan:” have your laugh now Damon. But mark my words. I will have everything you own and leave you with nothing……..”
He said with a deep tone then walked off…
…….

Oliver:” huh……..What..does this guy think he’s in a movie or somthing?”
Damon shrugs.

..

To be continued……..
