Things Get Worse.

[Andrea Kelize]

Two days had passed but Andi still can't get over the fact that she had been featured in the latest version of Rumor Has It. It was the last thing she ever expected herself to get into. Nothing had prepared her for it. And the rumor was the worst part. No way in hell would she have any romantic relationship with anyone. Things like that just make her vomit. The magazine even said that Andrea had been dropping hints of love potion on Damien's drinks. It also contained some words that hurt Andrea even more. Andrea is known as a tempered person and she doesn't like it when someone insults her or make sarcastic remarks of her well-being. The magazine made her very mad she actually cried. Not the hysterical, baby-ish type. Tears just came pouring from her eyes while her expression was sullen. Of course, some people might find this over-acting but on Andrea's case, she's still a twelve year old and she's not the type who is immune to insults. She cares what other people think about her. What other people's judgments are, so it wasn't easy for her to digest everything the magazine just publicly announced via magazine. A friend of hers tried to comfort her though and it worked somehow but the pain and humiliation was still buried down her chest. She hasn't talked to Damien yet and she intended not to. She intended on ignoring Damien so things won't get hurt.

She made her way through the library. She needed a quiet place so she can think and library is just the perfect place. Whispers came shooting her as she made her way to her destination. She just glared at the people which the whispers came from and carried on. She entered the room with a blank expression on her face. Even there, the whispers continued. Andrea would just give the sender her meanest look and they would eventually stop. She picked up a book called "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins and decided to read it. She looked around to find a table and when she found one, she went to it and sat at a chair casually.

Ignore any reference to the cliffs and I'll fix the end after dinner!

Damien walked out of his dorm room. It was a few days after the Rumor Has It magazine had been released and since then a lot of things had changed. Usually he went around doing his own things,not really being noticed by anyone but now that had changed. He had people looking and whispering at him and about him any time he passed a group of people. It was so annoying and Damien hated it,especially since h would find no where but his dorm to sit down and make some music. Usually he could go to the Gardens,Lakefront it somewhere else in the school but until this thing died down he was confined go his dorm in terms of making music or even playing it,it was driving him up the wall with frustration but to top it all of,Andrea wasn't speaking to him. She was acting as if it was his fault everything had happened. First,after he has run after her when she had left the hall,she had locked herself in her dorm and of course Damien couldn't go there so he was left looking like an idiot waiting for her to at least come down but she never had and he ended up going up to his dorm because she wasn't coming out. He hadn't been able to talk to her since then. She was bring unfair because he was in this just as much as she and yet he was being given the cold shoulder.

Damien contemplated bringing his guitar with him to the library. But that would be rude and everyone would glare at him so he decided to leave it in his dorm today.Even though his mind had been pretty full of thoughts lately,JazzyMae had still managed to squeeze herself in. He remembered their last conversation,he hDnt really noticed till then how pretty she was. She had a beautiful smile and her eyes were beautiful also. Damien had never felt this way about someone before. He was rather young after all and the fact you might like girls had never get come to his mind before. Plus he hadn't gone for school for long and he hadn't really liked the girls around his place,he wasn't sure about the ones living near him in Boston either. He didnt know them very well so maybe after a bit longer he would like them. Thy had all just grown up a completely different life to himself and sometimes he felt quite different. It was good that he had Hogwarts to go to though his new neighbours probably wondered where he went to school.He was almost at the library.He wanted to practice some reading,his writing had improved but he still had a long way to go in terms of reading.He wanted to be as able as the rest of his year by the time he got to fifth year. When he walked into the library,careful not to make much noise,he spotted her straight away. When he saw her,his anger and hurt emerged once again.He felt like he was being blamed for everything and he hated the way she was ignoring him and purposely trying to avoid him.It had made him angry and hurt.Damien hadn't been angry in a long time,his temper used to be always getting him in trouble but since last year he had learned to tame it but at the moment he knew it was coming back and things could get ugly in the library.He walked over to her and stood in front on her,anger radiating off him.This wasn't going to turn out good as Andi had as bad a temper as him.Ironic that where they first met and had their first argument was going to witness another fight between the two

Andrea read through the book. She was now on the fourth chapter. After all that's happened she was a little bit happy for she had mad a wise decision. Going to the library was a brilliant idea after all. She had gotten her peace and quite mode. But as much as she want her happiness to continue, the guilt and pain and embarrassment was still buried down her chest. The guilt was meant for Damien. She felt guilty for ignoring him. It wasn't his fault that they had gotten in the magazine. Andrea knew he had been hurt also but she just felt a little hurt that Damien didn't do anything. On that day the fourth issue of the magazine was released, she saw that Damien had arrived at the Great Hall earlier than Andi. He obviously had read it before Andi since he had a sullen look on his face that day but the weird thing was, he just kept doing what he was doing. Like he didn't even cared. That made Andi mad at him. It's also a part of why she's avoiding him. But the main part is that she wants people to think that is is really a rumor and not a truth by avoiding him. That way, they'll notice that she doesn't spend time with him anymore and that would eventually change their minds, to her anyway.

As she was reading the book, she noticed a human silhouette. She narrowed her eyebrows in curiousness. That silhouette was ruining her vision on the book and she hates it when somebody bothers here when she's reading. She looked up at the person who was causing it and looked at him with annoyance on her face. But once she realized who that person was, her face widened in shock. It was Damien. He looked very angry. Andrea's anger came flushing back also. 'What does he want?' she thought. A scowl appeared on her face. "What do you want?" She asked, coldly as she continued to look at him with that scowl of hers.

Damien was good at hiding his feelings.It's what had got him through primary school.You had to be tough and not show any weakness or fear which was why he had a very good poker face.He didn't need to use it as much these days because he was mostly happy but there were times like when he read the Rumor Has It magazine that he used it to make sure RHI didn't get the satisfaction.He had just continued as if nothing had happened but when he had seen Andi run he had com after her but he couldn't get up to her dorm.THe staircase had turned into a slide and he ad slide down much to the amusement of the rest of the common room.He hated being left out in the cold,he was in this as much as she was and they shouldn't be fighting or ignoring each other they should be pretending as if nothing had happened,act as if they didn't care what RHI said,because they were probably in the Great Hall watching everyone's reaction with amusement and Andrea running out probably gave them satisfaction.Damien shouldn't have really run after her as that was going to almost verify the rumors but he couldn't leave her crying and all that but it had turned out useless in the end because he hadn't been able to get to her.

Damien's eyes narrowed when he saw the scowl appear on Andi's face."I wonder"he said sarcastically,folding his arms "Maybe the fact that you have been ignoring me ever since that magazine"He said,the volume and anger of his voice rising as he spoke.He was really not in the mood for her to be playing any games and acting as if there was nothing wrong because he was not going to let her get away with it. "And stop acting as if you don't know why I'm here because you know perfectly well"He said his voice cold but filled with anger.

Andrea frowned. She is so not in the mood for any confrontations. All she wants is to get her peace and quiet moment and not some rude approach by a friend she has been ignoring for days. She was lucky enough she felt a little guilty or else she'd be yelling at Damien now. She knew perfectly well that Damien knows what is going to happen if Andi lost her heated temper so this must be serious if he's putting Andi's weakness on some test. Andrea is always a loser when it comes from her rotten temper. She usually gets into fights that involve both vocally and physical skills. She hasn't got any problem with any of those things but if Damien wants a fight, he better not cause it here inside the library. Andrea felt annoyed glances pierce through her. Some people are noticing their little confrontation now. She rolled her eyes and glared at Damien. She was still mad at him for acting that way when he read the magazine. He was very flippant in considering the situation. After Andi ran from the Great Hall towards her dorm room, her chest felt heavy. Heavier than a hundred pound casket.

Andrea continued to glare at Damien. This is déjà vu all over again only no one knows if it'll get worse than the first. Andi listened dully as Damien explained his reason. When Damien finished his sarcastic reasoning, Andrea rolled her eyes as if his reason was dullard and full of nonsense. Andrea ignored his tone of voice and continued to deepen her glare. She looked him in the eye as she shared her reasoning. She let out a quick humorless laugh and raised an eyebrow. "You're mad because I'm not talking to you? God, Damien, you have to be more subtle than that and can't you show a little respect? I'm going through a lot of things you know." She said impertinently. She rolled her eyes again when Damien said another remark. "Oh sure." She said sarcastically. "And I'm sure you know perfectly well why I'm ignoring you" She added gruffly.
