Alice- where you at?
Damian- on my way.
(Damian pulls up on his mountain bike and parks it in gojungs parking lot. they enter the diner and immediately Alice's eyes strike on the math teachers face whos sitting along with his family at the cornermost table. they chat merrily and she sees him gazing at her for a moment then shifts his gaze to his kid. in the meantime Damian tries to book a table but all the seats are full so he is told to make an order at the drive through window for fast kerbside pickup.)
Damian- ok so... we have to probably just take the food and leave cause theres no seat over here right now.
Alice- ....what a bummer.
Damian- don't worry , we can sit at the park and eat.
Alice- sure.
Damian- ok let's go.
(Damian wraps his arm around Alice's shoulder as they walk out.)
Alice- did you see the math teacher was there with his family?
Damian- yeah. i ignored him.
Alice- yeah.
Damian- i don't like him at all. he looks at girls in a very weird way.
Alice- i know.
Damian- ....
Alice- ....
(they walk to the drive through window and order the chicken wings, donuts and couple of soda cans.)
Damian- btw the class teach has been thinking of replacing Melvin with me as the new school captain.
Alice- that wasn't unexpected.
Damian- ...so you don't— hate that I'm replacing your ex?
Alice- not at all. he's an asshole. he deserves losing his position. i have no regrets breaking up with that asshole.
Damian- if you don't mind can i ask—
Alice- i will mind a lot.
Damian- oh...ok... but you didn't even hear what i was asking.
Alice- that's because i don't wanna.
Damian- oook.... looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
Alice- not really. I'm just pissed at someone. it's not you so you don't have to.... bother yourself.
Damian- you mad about the math teacher?
Alice- .... no.
Damian- why?
Alice- i don't think you know what you're talking about. and i wanna go some where else if we are talking about me.
Damian- as you wish.
(they take the order from the takeout quickly and she hops on the back of his bike. he rides to the nearest park and they take a seat on a park bench under an oak tree, far off at a lonely corner.)
Alice- hmm...
Damian- do you like the donuts?
Alice- it's good i guess... better than the ones that dad brings home sometimes.
Damian- wait are you mad cause you had to pay for the whole thing?
Alice- i wouldn't pay shit if i was so pissed off for wasting my pocket money.
Damian- ...hmm
Alice- ....
Damian- what do you wanna do after we finish this?
Alice- i have— no plans.
Damian- wanna hang out at my place?
Alice- ok...
(Alice smiles at him)
Damian- are you sick or something?
Alice- why you ask?
Damian- idk you look pale.
Alice- not really.
Damian- is it periods?
Alice- hahaha no.
Damian- then?
Alice- is nothing....
(Alice takes a bite from her chicken wing.)
Damian- you know what i do when I'm sad or pissed as fuck?
Alice- break shit?
Damian- i go to the skating rink.
Alice- that's cool.
Damian- wanna come along.
(Alice refuses but Damian insists and takes her there after finishing the food. Alice fumbles a lot, falls over a few times but things get better as he helps her balance on wheels. they skate for hours until both are out of breath. alice learns a few dance moves and brags about it for a while. )
Alice- hahaha....
Damian- how you feel now?
Alice- better. i feel so good.
Damian- i know right.
Alice- ...i feel like I'm breathing after a long long time.
Damian- let's go to my place.
(Alice hops up , beaming from ear to ear. she helps him up and returns the skates at the booth and take a bus to his house. Damian smiles while showing the rooms and finally he takes her to his room where he turns on his stereo playing some pretty cool pop songs.)
Alice- this is pretty amazing.
Damian- i know right. i think the best thing is moms cabinet. she really loves collecting miniature clay models and idols from all over the world. she even has a few crystals and stones in there. here lemme show you.
(Alice walks around the house looking at the wall pictures. Damian brings her the stone and crystal. )
Damian- look.
Alice- so cool.
Damian- i know right.
Alice- i wish my mom and dad had these cool hobbies.
Damian- oh well.... she goes to a lot of trips so she likes to collect them from all over the globe.
Alice- so does my dad.... but he barely brings any souvenirs.
Damian- that's ok. they'd need time and money for having the free time. my dad is super rich.... so mom can leave work whenever she wants to. but dad's a workaholic so he is busy most of the time. he can't have hobbies.
Alice- i see.
Damian- wanna see some movies. i have a great collection.
Alice- hmm.
(they both sit down to watch the movie. Damian sneaks glances at her as she watches carefully. Damian asks if she wants to eat something. Alice refuses since she already ate at the park. Damian insists and Alice refuses a few times and break into laughter as he jokes about spiking her food or drink. Alice slaps his back when he jokes even worse. )
Damian- .... so what should we do then?
(Alice pauses as he gapes at her. Alice smiles and leans towards him. Damian takes a gulp and holds her face and neck and leans forward. they share a passionate kiss. Alice is teary eyed, flushed as she kisses him even deeper. Damian doesn't resist her temptations and they both end up having sex on his bed. after finishing, Alice dresses up slowly while Damian stares at her passionately.)
Damian- I'm sorry.
Alice- why?
Damian- i think we are too early to have sex. i should have waited.
Alice- isn't this what you wanted in the first place?
Damian- ..... hahaha you know Alice, i don't care what the rumors say about you. i know you're not a slut. you're just going through some shit and minding your own business while rest of the world is spreading rumors about you.
Alice- you really think so?
Damian- i do.
Alice- you? you of all the people?
Damian- yeah me why?
Alice- i never thought you were a serious kind of guy..... haha .... actually i don't even mind if you add fuel to the fire tomorrow onwards. it's not like i care.
Damian- ....
Alice- i think we are done here. i gave you a piece of me. i hope you're happy.
Damian- i am not happy.
Alice- why not? you want more sex?
Damian- no.... forget it.
[ Damian smiles and starts dressing up himself.]
Alice- I'm sorry for making you feel this way. it's just that... I'm so done with everyone and everything trying to judge me.
Damian-...
Alice- we had a nice time though. I'm really glad we met.
Damian- thanks.
[Alice walks up to him and embraces him tightly.]
Alice- i hope you find someone better than a slut like me.
Damian- I'll try.
[Alice kisses him again. he kisses back. they get intimate once again and end up having sex a few times more. a few hours later Alice rolls out of his bed and wears her dress.]
Alice- you're really good at sex you know.
Damian- So I've been told.
Alice- so you're not virgin right?
Damian- yeah....
Alice- so was it your girlfriend?
Damian- yeah. she was my girlfriend and we went through pretty much hell because of her drama.
Alice- drama?
Damian- she faked getting pregnant.
Alice- why?
Damian- she was being SA'd by her uncle and she wanted to get him into trouble for this but the police found out about us first and i became a lead suspect. she played mind games with the police, kept lying and changing her story, everything except coming clean to them cause her parents didn't want her to report it. they went as far as trying to withdraw the report but she changed her mind last minute. finally she came clean to the police and her uncle got arrested. but anyhow , we broke up shortly after.
Alice- she must have been through hell...
Damian- really you're taking her side?
Alice- but i can see it was unfair that her family used you as the scapegoat.
Damian- you have no idea how many times i got publicly shamed....so no i don't think i give a shit anymore.
Alice- hmm.....
Damian- i know she went through a very tough time..... but i wish she was honest about it.
Alice- i agree, she was in the wrong for dragging you down with her....
Damian- ....
Alice- but we can't deny she was under tremendous pressure from her parents and her relative, because of which she couldn't be honest to the police.
Damian-....haaaaa....
Alice- is gone now. she is not your girlfriend anymore. it's time to move on.
Damian- ....i know.
Alice- do you still like her?
Damian- i don't know.
Alice- something tells me she is the reason why you approached me.
Damian- not really.
Alice- oh. then what is it?
Damian- idk. i felt really good when i talked to you... felt like i was talking to an old friend. like you know so much about me.
Alice- well i am certainly not a magician.
Damian- no you are not.
Alice- ....
Damian- but you definitely stole my heart....
Alice- hey how about we do this...
Damian- what?
Alice- how about we become sex buddies.
Damian- .... ok.... we clearly don't have the most supportive society for that to happen.
Alice- we could get rid of a lot of stress in this way. society ain't saving shit.
Damian- yeah right.... i don't think i want you to get pregnant and get into trouble.
Alice- that's actually a good point. this is a shitty idea. i don't wanna be teen pregnant mom either.... hahaha
Damian- but I'm always here for you....
Alice- hahaha bullshit.
Damian- what if I'm serious.
Alice- don't be serious with me. I'm not the greatest partner. i am even worse with serious people. so no thanks.
Damian- me neither.... but i wanna try overcome this mountain.
Alice- so you wanna talk more about your ex?
Damian- .... maybe.... maybe not.
Alice- alright. i won't waste your time anymore.
Damian- let's meet again soon.
Alice- totally.
Damian- wait...
[Alice leaves his house quickly but he follows shortly telling her that he will take her back to her house. after a long bike ride Alice finally reaches her home neighborhood. he parks his bike at a back alley.]
Alice- i guess this is goodbye Mr. Clark.
Damian- indeed miss Jones, quite sadly.
Alice- hahaha.... thanks for everything.
Damian- you too. i had a good time.... and a great meal.
Alice- do you wanna hang out next time?
Damian- sure. let's plan.
Alice- Ok. your treat.
Damian- with pleasure.
[Alice smiles and winks, hugs him and returns to her apartment Damian leaves a while later.]
