Well, at least he didn't want to steal it. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kane walking in.
"Yes, it is. How do you know what this is?" I asked him.
Damian frowned. "I actually don't know. I've never seen it before. That's very odd."
"Yeah, it is odd," I muttered.
Kane must have overheard us talking about the necklace, because he began to freak out on me. "What the hell? You're talking to the thief? About the necklace? Are you insane?"
I grinded my teeth together. I know that isn't good for your teeth, but it's what I do when I get really angry. That was it. I've had enough of his attitude. I stood up and glared at Kane.
"That's enough. He has no money, no friends, and no parents. It's the only way he can supply himself! And the fact that he doesn't even know how he recognized the necklace, I think he deserves to speak. Now shut up!" I yelled out, which was unlike me. Well, usually unlike me. I only really yelled when I was super pissed off by someone or something.
Damian and Kane were both staring at me, mouths wide. Where did all of that anger come from? Embarrassed, I walked away, went upstairs, into my room and closed the door.
I've never felt so angry in my life. In fact, it was startling! Was it because I kind of liked him? Is that what people do when someone insults a person you like? All I know is that I wished it never happened.
I made a complete fool of myself, that's all that matters. I buried my head into my pillow, why is everything bad happening to me all of a sudden? It's decided, I'm not going downstairs, I'm just going to live up here in my room until they leave.
No, I can't do that. I'd have to go downstairs to get food when I get hungry! And when I have to go to the bathroom, and –
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. My cheeks turned red. Oh my God, I'm such a girly girl.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Damian. Can I come in?" Of course it was him, that's my luck.
"Sure," I said. "What was that all about? I thought Solara was the nicest of the three Goddess'" he laughed.
Wait, what? "Three? There are three? Crap, I'm screwed."
Damian's face became serious. "Yeah, there's Solara, Lunara, and Staria, Goddess of the Stars." Oh my God, there was hope!
"Stars? She seems nice then."
He frowned. "Um, not exactly. She's the only one who doesn't have a body, so she's always looking for a host. No one's safe from her, including you."
I raised one of my eyebrows. "Even me? But I have the necklace, she can't get me because Solara is already in me."
Damian just shook his head. "Doesn't matter, if she can get that necklace off of you, well, you're toast.
Well gee, that's just flipping great…..
"You never answered my question; what was that all about?" Damian asked me.
I sighed. Should I tell him? No, too soon, I just gave him a concussion an hour ago. Oh, but maybe he won't remember if I tell him! No, he'll remember, Nicole.
"I have no idea, it just happened. That boy has so much attitude, I just can't take it anymore." Lies. I was lying through my teeth.
Damian just looked at me, could he tell I was lying? "Well, it's late, I better be going. Thanks for letting me stay."
He started to walk away, and I, desperate, I said, "Wait, if you want, there's enough room here for you to stay for awhile."
Damian smiled. "Wow, thanks, that's the nicest thing anyone's done for me." I did the happy dance in my mind, he was staying!
He walked out of my door and went back downstairs. This is gonna be great! And really awkward, but oh well! I'm too excited to think negatively right now! Hopefully, I can get him to like me back.
Even though I'm not exactly a catch.
It was getting late, so I decided to go to sleep. Or, at least try to sleep.
