" What do you mean not good? " Lee asked confused and worried.
" Its really none of you business " Ruby said turning away before Lee grabbed her hand. Ruby glared at him " Hey! Let me go! " She said trying to shake out of his grasp. " Look, i know it is none of my business, but i want to help Tina. I know something is going on and as her friend i won't just sit back and not help her when she needs help. So please, let me help " Lee begged.
Sighing Ruby realized she had no choice " Fine. I'll tell you everything you need. "
" Yes, Thank you! " Lee cried out.
" After you get out of detention, this has to be private and i mean private! There has to be no intterruptions whatsoever and it has to be at a place where someone would least expect you to be there. " Ruby explained. " I'll meet you at the parking lot, and don't be late " She said before heading back to the classroom.
" Well that went better than i expected " Lee said to himself, than his phone ringed.
" Lee, you need to get back here as soon as possible, Barrage is coming back " Biffy's voice said.
" Thanks Biffy i'm on my way " Lee said happily running through the hall, curious to finally find out what Tina was hiding, hopefully it will be resolved soon.
The Kwee Household
" Remind me again why your here " Tina groaned in annoyance. She was already at her house, and was surprised to find a familiar face that she would have liked to have not seen at all for a while.
" Duh, i'm staying with you. We are friends, chill , its not like i'm a stranger , right? Besides my parents already talked with your parents and the whole thing is already arranged " Said a boy who was lazily sitting on a couch, his back hunched while he was watching TV. He had spiky hair, bright blue eyes. He was wearing a white shirt that had a red cross in placed on the right. Ripped jeans and black sneakers.
" Well, yes. We are friends, i just don't feel comfortable with this sudden change, also i don't think i'll get used to living with a boy from now on, especially you. Why did you move from Manhattan anyway? " Tina asked taking a seat down next to him.
The boy turned his attention from the TV to Tina with a smirk on his face " I got expelled! " He exclaimed happily. " You what! " Tina asked. " How, how did you get expelled? "
" Apparently setting fire to the swimming pool was enough " He said before turning back to the TV ." How is that even possible? " Tina asked not believing this.
" Well, if you mix the right chemicals that can turn water flammable. It is possible " He stated lazily.
" And yes, i'm transferring to A. Nigma high. " He said leaving Tina in shock that her friend was staying with them most likely until he's gets bored of this school, which Tina is sure he will not get bored once he finds out everything.
" Where's Ruby by the way? Haven't seen her in years " He asked.
" She's still in school, the genius club has some research to do and she won't be home until later " Tina explained.
" I see. . . " He started.
" So-, how is it? " He asked with a knowing smile
" Damien, don't you dare go there " Tina warned.
" Why? Does it bother you? You know you should really be honored, after all out of everyone in the Kwee family. You were the one who was born with the gift, i wouldn't mind having that destiny. Only few know of its existance though, only me and Ruby right? " Damien said, amazingly managing to rile Tina up.
Tina stood up in front of the TV and looked him straight in the eye. " You know very well, it is not a gift, its a curse! " Tina shouted.
Damien opened his mouth to retort but decided not to, instead he stood up and walked past her. " Tell your Mom and Dad I'll be the one to pick Ruby up " He said. " I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself " Tina said.
" Nah, besides i need to get a look at my new school " He said. " Later " He said slamming the door shut.
" Why do i get the feeling things are turning out for the worst? " Tina asked herself
" Bye Biffy! " Lee said parting ways from his friend after detention to head to the parking lot and find out the truth.
When he went to the parking lot he saw Ruby standing there, most likely waiting for him. She turned around with a stern look.
" There you are, I've been waiting for you. Listen i can't stay long so lets make this fast " Ruby explained.
" Okay " Lee nodded.
" So you know about the whole moon thing right? " Ruby started.
Lee nodded in understanding. " Yeah, what about it? "
" Well, you see. You can't really help Tina, i mean its just that, this thing kinda happens to out family? Wait! No,no , no. Well- truth be told its really hard to explain " Ruby said trying to explain but failing.
" Wait, what do you mean, i can't help Tina from whatever is happening to her? And why does it happen to your family " Lee asked getting seriously confused more so than before.
" Well- its really complicated and well . . . . - "
" Well, hel-lo Ruby, miss me? " Damien said suddenly slinging his arm over Ruby's shoulder in a affectionate manner. " What the-, Wait. Damien? " Ruby asked as she started to form a smile. " Is it really you? " She asked.
" Yep " He answered giving her a mini-affectionate noogie. He turned to look at Lee with curiosity " And who might this be? " He asked eyeing Lee. " He's Tina's friend, Lee Ping " Ruby said.
" Oh, how nice. " He said letting go of Ruby and approaching Lee. " How much do you know already? " Damien asked looking at him up and down.
" Not much " Lee replied.
Damien slowly nodded and whispered " No matter what you do, make sure you remember, you can never help Tina so mind your own business and stop medelling with others. Oh, and , always remember I am the one who is closest to Tina, never forget that "
" Come on Ruby its time to go home " Damien said walking away leaving a stunned Lee.
" Okay! "Ruby agreed happily.
As they left, Lee stood there in silence. Who was this Damien? Why is he so secretive? Was that a threat? What's his deal with Tina? Could he-
