I LOST MYSELF OVER A FOOL

Am Damien

I was in the dinning hall having my breakfast quietly when l suddenly felt a presence behind me. I lifted my head and saw the guy that just arrived a few hours ago looking at me with a grin on his face.

“Excuse me?” I asked looking at him

“I said your one pretty witch.”he repeated with a smirk on his face. “You just arrived here, don’t go around looking for trouble. And since you called me witch u must know that witches are pretty scary, don’t let me curse you for life.” I said while fuming with anger. How dare he call me that, he doesn’t know me. HOW DARE HE!!!

“Ha cute” Damien said while moving to her table and having a seat. “Don’t worry about me, l think l already have enough bad luck. Look at me am not an orphan but my own father brought me here.” He said while taking my toast and stuffing it in his stupid mouth.

“And do l look like am dying to know? You must be one ungrateful son, no wonder your own father bought you here, just look at u eating my toast shamelessly without asking for my permission.”I said angrily snatching my toast right out his stupid stupid mouth.

Damien looked at me and smiled coldly. “You must have a death wish huh witch? Do you even know who l am ?” I looked at him not caring at all and stood up planning to leave. But before l left, l turned around and sneered at him “Again like l said, do l look like am dying to know. I don’t care idiot.” And walked out with a satisfied expression knowing.

Damien was left alone at the table. But he was more interested about this girl than angry at her. “Hmm she really had the guts to call me an i***t. Hmm bold and interesting.” And quickly followed her outside.

When he arrived at the hallway, he saw her going outside and towards the small forest surrounding this orphanage. And she looked like she was in a hurry which peaked his curiosity and he decided to follow her .

Halfway into the forest, he saw her stop walking and he quickly hid behind a huge tree. “I think she felt my presence.” Damien thought. But after awhile l heard her move so he quickly followed .

We walked for about 40 minutes and l was honestly getting frustrated . “What are you really up to pretty witch?” I mumbled . And just when I thought this walk would take a while, she stopped on her tracks and I gasped at what l saw.

There was a lake, it was breathtakingly beautiful. There were trees surrounding it and wild ducks swimming too. I saw Nora sitting on the ground, not too close to the water but close enough to touch it. She had a piece of bread in her hands, and then she started throwing it piece by piece towards the wild ducks. And they all quickly surrounded her.

“Sorry my babies, mommy was late to bring you breakfast. Some i***t was disturbing her but don’t worry am here now and l promise l won’t be late tomorrow okay.” She sang happily and fed the hungry ducks. I couldn’t help but smile. “She really is cute.” I thought to myself

Nora was happily singing while feeding the ducks when l decided to simply ruin her peace. “So this is where the witch performs her witchcraft huh.” I smiled when l saw the frustration and anger on her face. “What huh? Never thought anyone would find out about your little secret.”

“What are you doing here?” She said with a voice full of frustration.

“Hey hey calm down. I was just having a walk in the forest when l accidentally stumbled across this beautiful place and decided to have a closer look. Plus you don’t own this property, it’s none of your business why am here. And l should be the one asking you what your doing on my private property.” I smiled walking towards her.

She looked confused and stuttered. “ Pri… private property?”

“Yes my private property. My father owns this place which basically means I own it too.” I smiled sitting next to her staring at her confusingly beautiful eyes.

“ And you never gave me the chance to introduce myself.” I extended my hand for a handshake. “Hi am Damien Smith, nice to meet you pretty witch.”
