Look at me

Summary:

They are in 10th grade now and many things are different. Though, one thing is still the same, Damian’s crush on Anya.

He finally realizes that he barely made any progress with Anya at all and tries to fix that.

Notes:

I’m working on my writing skills so don’t judge this right away 💀

I was so hyped to see Damian in the anime, his voice actor is amazing too

Chapter 1: Left behind

Chapter Text

Eden Academy definitely does have great landscape.

Damian could lie and say he hated living here at school, but seriously? This was so much better then back home. He does wish his dog max was here though. 

Once you get into High School here at Eden Academy, every first year is forced to stay at the dorms. 

“Boss-man?” 

Damian turns away from the window to look at the voice calling him.

”Breakfast is being served now, are you gonna come today?” Ewen asks.

”Yeah, I’ll come.” 

He starts making his way to the door of the dorm that him, Ewen, and Emile stay in together.

Once he makes sure both of them are behind him, he makes his way to the dining hall. 

 

 

When they finally get there, it’s completely filled with first years. 

He starts making his way to where he can order until he’s interrupted by a familiar voices.

Ehh?? Are you out of your mind?! Get away from us!” 

Damian turns to look at the shouting, Becky Blackbell, Anya Forger, and George Glooman are all standing near eachother.

”You ruined her uniform, George! What’s wrong with you?”

“H-huh? I was only offering my Breakfast to her?!” George stumbles on his words.

”Are you blind?! She literally has her own breakfast, why would she need yours?!” Becky argues back.

George looks at Anya, Anya has a disgusted look on her face looking at her now messed up uniform. 

“Anya I’m—“

”What’s with all this racket?” 

They turn to see Damian standing there with one hand in his pocket. 

“This imbecile decided to offer his breakfast to Anya, even though she already had her own! Then he spilled it all over her!” Becky wails.

Damian looks at Anya, she doesn’t look upset, just.. really disgusted.

”George..” Anya finally speaks after all this time.

”Anya! I’m sorry I-“

”It’s okay.” She sighs getting up. She pats him on the shoulder before walking past him and making her way back to her own dorm. 

“You made her upset! Ugh!” Becky angrily walks past George to catch up with Anya.

”Damnit..” George mumbles.

”Whats your deal dude?” Ewen asks.

”Y’know if I didn’t know any better, I’d think he’s got a crush on Anya!” Emile says and bursts out laughing. 

“What?!” Damian yells.

Ewen starts laughing as well.

”What? No! I-I don’t—“ George denies face bright red.

”No way! I was right?! That’s hilarious!” Emile says while clutching his stomach from laughter.

Damian face is still in shock.

”You even made Boss-man go into shock! That’s too funny!” Emile exclaims.

“What?! He likes her too? I can’t have anything for myself!” George’s face gets ten times more red and runs away from embarrassment.

”What?! What do you mean, anything to yourself?! She’s not a object you idiot!” Damian yells after him. 

They follow him to the courtyard and George eventually gets stuck at a dead end.

”Can’t run away now, huh?” Damian smirks.

”Damian please it’s just a crush, you have one too, right? Why can’t we both try to—“ George gets interrupted by a loud slam near his head.

Damian trapped him with his hand against the wall.

”What makes you think, you have any chance with her? I mean come on! I am closer with her after all.” Damian says smugly.

”What..?” George says, suddenly getting really serious.

”Are you blind, Damian? Because from my perspective, you and her don’t have any sort of thing going on. Are you both even friends?” George interrogates.

”What? Of course we’re friends!” Damian’s exclaims.

”Oh really? All throughout middle school, you either ignored her or talked to her because you were forced too. Are you even sure you feelings for her? And maybe you had a head start in elementary, but that was a long time ago now. She hates you.” George smirks.

”Excuse me? Emile, Ewen! Back me up here!” Damian turns toward them.

”Um, well.. George does have a point—“ Ewen stutters.

”What the hell do you mean he has a point?!” Damian screams.

”You really didn’t talk to her much in middle school Boss-man.. and in elementary we were all pretty rude to her..” Emile states.

Damian is left speechless. 

“See? Even your goons agree with me.” George stands up straight.

”Anya is fair game for anyone and if you haven’t notice quite a few guys are interested in her. Better hope she doesn’t pick someone else or even me.” He says while walking away. Even though he said that stuff confidently, he was having a heart attack on the inside. (Damian is really scary..)

“Have I seriously been so left behind?” Damian stands there thinking.

”It’s okay, Boss-man. You just have to work harder!” Ewen exclaims.

”Yeah, just work harder!” Emile adds in.

”Shut up! This is so embarrassing!” He yells face bright red.

If what George and everyone else said was true, where was he even supposed start? I guess he could start hanging out with her more. Yeah, he’ll just have to do that!

 

First period began, Damian, Ewen, and Emile are sitting in their normal seats. Anya and Becky make their way in. Anya now is wearing a clean uniform. 

They go and sit where they always go, so Damian makes his move. Naturally Ewen and Emile follow him, but..

George seemed to have the same idea as Damian, to go sit next to Anya. 

Damian starts walking quicker and George does the same thing. 

Damian beats George there, making him have to sit next to Becky. 

Becky was not blind and she did in fact see the whole race that happen to get next to Anya. She fully supports Damian and Anya, but George and Anya. No way in hell. So she’ll help out Damian with this in her own way.

Anya seems to notice someone sitting next her and looks toward them. 

“Sy-on Boy?” She asks.

”Oh! Anya, What’s up?” He smiles nervously.

”Why are you sitting here?” She is now fully turned towards him, eyes locked into his.

Damian always hates when she makes eye contact like this.

”Oh- I just thought I should change my seat, y’know new school year and everything.” Damian tries to avoid eye contact with her.

”Oh Alrighty.” She smiles at him.

Okay, Anya smiled at him. Good sign, right? Or maybe she smiles at everyone like that.. Okay, when George talks to her and she smiles at him, then he’ll decide whether or not that was a good sign, but for now he has to try to get closer to her..

”So Anya—“ He gets interrupted.

”Anya! I’m sorry for earlier! I only wanted to share my breakfast..” George says clapping his hands together into a prayer position.

He’s now standing in front of Anya’s desk. 

“Oh. Well, like I said earlier it’s okay. Just don’t be so creepy next time, you scared the heck out of me.” Anya says bluntly.

He was.. creeping around her..? This guy is so weird, Anya could literally never like someone like this. 

“Haha! Yeah, sorry..” George says clearly hurt by the bluntness.

“Oh and also because of the new group project coming up, I was wondering if we could be in the same group?” George asks visibly sweating. 

“Group project?” Anya says confused and looks at Becky.

”I totally forgot about that. Me and Anya are gonna be together, I don’t care who else is in the group.” Becky says looking over at Damian.

Damian immediately gets the message.

”I wanna join too, Ewen and Emile will join as well.” Damian declares.

”Really? Cool!” Anya smiles at Damian again. 

That’s totally a good sign. What George said wasn’t wrong, but he said that Anya hated him and it’s obvious she doesn’t. That idiot making stuff up. 

“We should meet up at the school library later! So we can talk about what we want to do!” Anya says excitingly looking at everyone. 

“Great Idea!” George and Damian say at the same time. 

They both glare at each other.

I can already tell this is gonna be annoying.
