Damian was seen at the gym as he was practising his strikes on the punching bag, His strikes got more intense and harder as Calaway hit a combo of punches and kicks, Everyone in the gym were looking at him as they were quite shocked by his strength, He also has been training for two hours already and it doesn't seem like he was going to stop.

Until the punching bag broke and fell on the ground as Damian just stared at it, It broke due to the strength of his strikes, He narrowed his eyes until he heard someone clapping as Calaway immediately turned around and saw who it was.

Rhea: Now that was awesome!

Damian stared at her until he noticed her friends, Finn and Luis were also standing and watching him, Both men looked at each other as Finn said something to Luis.

Finn: Still can't forget that this guy almost broke my bones.

Luis: I do feel bad for you sometimes.

The trio looked at Damian as Calaway picked up the punching bag and looked at it before placing it on the side, Rhea and her friends approached the brooding man as Rhea said something.

Rhea: You do know you might get in trouble for breaking that.

Damian gave a cold stare to them as Finn spoke to him.

Finn: Just being honest, man. But I must say that's very impressive.

Luis: Agreed, We also saw your fight against that one guy two days ago.

Rhea: I think his name was Dominik.

Finn: Yeah, it was an awesome fight. I guess you like MMA, right?

Damian continued staring at them in silence until Rhea approached him and tapped his back, Finn and Luis were shocked by how she wasn't scared to get close to him while Calaway stared at her

Rhea: Come on, Big guy. We just want to be friends with you.

Finn: *Whispers to Luis* She's kinda crazy.

Luis: I agree with that.

Damian continued staring at her as Rhea was smiling at him, Finn and Luis continued looking at both of them before Luis chuckled and said something.

Luis: But she's right though, We like to be friends with you, and I bet we have a lot of stuff in common.

Finn: That's right.

Damian stared at Luis and Finn before he looked at Rhea again, He was thinking about it for a few seconds until he let out a sigh as everyone looked at him.

Damian: Fine.

There was awkward silence now as Luis and Finn were shocked to hear his voice, The tone of his voice was low but cold and harsh. It did creep both of them out at first, but Rhea looked at him with surprise before she smiled at him.

Rhea: That took you a while. How about we all train together?

Luis: . . . . Yeah, good idea. Let's train together.

Damian just looked at them again and nodded, He could see the excitement in Rhea's face as Finn and Luis looked at each other before smiling a little and walked away, waiting for him to follow them.

Damian didn't really like to be around people or even make friends, but since Rhea has been following him around, especially at college. He decided to see what her and her friends were like, Damian was holding his neck until he looked at Rhea, who was kneeling on the ground while blowing kisses to him.

Rhea: We're waiting for you.

For the first time, He showed a little bit of emotion by raising an eyebrow as Rhea smirked before she got up and walked away as Damian continued staring at her.

Alex was seen at his dorm with Chris Evans and Evan Peters as the trio were watching a horror movie called Insidious: Chapter 2. The trio were watching the movie as there were some scary moments which startled Chris a little bit as Evan laughed at his reaction

Evan: You're seriously scared right now, Chris?

Chris: I don't even like horror movies!

Alex smiled at both of them as Evan continued laughing, Chris just hit his elbow on him as Peters continued laughing.

Alex: Wow, Chris. What's all that muscle for if you're scared of horror movies?

Chris: Shut up, Alex!

Evan laughed again as Alex chuckled, Chris rolled his eyes because of their teasing as the trio continued watching the movie.

After an hour, The movie was over as Evan needed to go on his first date with someone while Chris wanted to go to the gym and worked out, Alex said "Bye" to them, leaving him alone in the dorm as he was thinking about what to do now.

However, He heard a knock on the door as Alex stared at the door before he got up and opened the door as he was surprised to see who it was.

Scarlett was standing while fixing her hair as Alex gazed at her, shocked by how she was dressed. But he admitted to himself that she looked beautiful, Scarlett smiled at him and knew he was admiring her as both of them looked at each other.

Scarlett: May I come in?

Alex: Of course.

She walked inside the dorm and looked around as Alex closed the door and continued staring at her as he said something.

Alex: What brings you here, Miss?

Scarlett: Just call me Scarlett, and I just decided to come over, My friends are on a date at the moment.

Alex: Oh, I see.

Scarlett: Do you have a date as well?

Alex: *Smiles* Nope.

Scarlett just smiled at him as She walked towards the room and noticed the TV was open as Alex continued speaking to her.

Alex: It's still strange to see a teacher coming to a student's dorm like that.

Scarlett: What do you mean?

Alex: It's not a usual thing. . . Especially with that dress.

They both looked at each other and already felt the tension heating up between them.

Scarlett: Is it a bad choice?

Alex: No. . . I like it.

Scarlett couldn't help but smile as she bit her lip, Alex smiled at her again while taking a few steps closer to her.

Alex: Would you like some orange juice?

Scarlett: . . . . Sure.

Alex smiled before walking to the kitchen as Scarlett looked at the TV and recognised the movie, She smiled and liked his movie choice before she followed him to the kitchen.

Alex was pouring orange juice to the glass until Scarlett touched his back while watching him pour the juice, The tension got hotter, and the intention was slowly peaking.

Alex: Here is your juice.

He gave her the glass as she was drinking the juice, Alex continued staring at her before he asked her a question.

Alex: So. . . What do you want to do?

Scarlett: You don't mind if I stay for a little bit?

Alex: Not at all, Scarlett.

Scarlett: Good, Cause I'm feeling really bored right now~

She got closer to him and began holding his hand, Alex looked at her while having a slight smirk on his face, He already liked how this was going.

Alex: You shouldn't get close to your student like that.

Scarlett: That will be our secret.

She got closer to his face as their lips were touching, Scarlett placed the glass aside and smirked at him as the tension between them got intense, She just really wanted to get satisfied by him.

Scarlett moved a little back and took off everything that was on the kitchen counter before she bent over to the counter as Alex knew what was going on.

Scarlett: Go on and show me what you can do~

Jason was at Alexa's house party as there was loud music playing, Jason was feeling a bit annoyed by all the sounds and he also felt nervous around the crowd, He heard some of the students arguing over something while others were getting drunk and were having fun.

He saw Tay and Anna dancing with the other party members while Seth was drinking as he approached Jason.

Seth: Hey! How is the party so far?

Jason: It's alright, I didn't expect all these drinks though. . .

Seth: Come on, We're twenty-two. Not eighteen, Have fun and take a few drinks.

Jason: I think I'll pass on the drinks.

Seth: *Laughs* Okay, at least party with the others.

Jason just nodded as Seth smiled at him before he walked away, Shadow sighed and continued looking around until he noticed someone approaching to the chair next to him which made him ready to leave his seat until he saw who it was.

He stopped and looked at Jessica, who sat on the chair while eating a cupcake while shouting at her friend, Cassie.

Jessica: Cassie, This cupcake is delicious! You should try it!

Jason stared at her as Cassie yelled "Okay" Jessica smiled to herself before she turned around and saw Jason as she was startled.

Jessica: Oh gosh! I didn't see you there.

Jason: Oh. . . Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

Jessica: Oh no! It's fine, It wasn't on purpose. I actually didn't know you were in the parry.

Jason: My friend dragged me here.

Jessica: Oh really?

He nodded as Jessica laughed and took a bite of her cupcake, Jason continued looking at her as the music changed, They both continued looking around until Jessica looked at the spare cupcake she had on her plate and decided to offer it to Jason.

Jessica: Do you want a cupcake?

Jason: No thanks, You can have it.

Jessica: Aww, it's delicious, though. Take it.

It warmed his heart by how she was offering the cupcake to him, Jason just nodded and took the cupcake as Jessica smiled at him.

Soon, two hours passed as the party continued to get more enjoyable, Jason was walking through the house, trying to find his friends since he knew they were drinking and he wanted to make sure they were okay, Shadow continued walking while feeling annoyed by the crowd until he bumped into someone.

Jason: Oh. . . I'm sorry.

Chris: It's alright, I didn't know you were at the party, Jason.

Jason: . . . . I was just looking for my friends.

Chris Johnson chuckled until Jason saw Seth and Anna making out as his eyes were widen, Chris bit his tongue by that sight and walked away as Jason couldn't believe what he was seeing before he quickly walked away.

Tay was dancing like there was no tomorrow as Jason was shocked by seeing what his friends were doing. Suddenly, he had a phone call as it was from his brother, Aaron. Jason decided to leave the party and answer the phone call.

Jason: *On Call* Hello?

Aaron: *On Call* Hey Jason, How are you, Buddy?

Jason: I'm doing good, Aaron. How are you?

Aaron: I'm good as well, Are you at a party or something?

Jason: Well. . . Yes, my friends invited me to a party.

Aaron: Oh, I see. Well, there is something I need to tell you. . .

Aaron's voice started to sound low and sad, Jason continued walking away as he listened to his brother.

Jason: Is everything okay?

Aaron: It's just Dad, He's not feeling good. . .

Jason felt his heart skip a beat as he stood still, Shadow was starting to feel scared and worried as he spoke to his brother.

Jason: What happened? Is Dad okay?

Aaron: He's been feeling more weak, and he can't breathe properly. . . . We took him to the hospital today and. . . . .

Jason: And?. . . . . .

Aaron: We found out he's suffering from a heart disease.

Jason felt shocked by what his brother said, He stayed silent and tried to process everything his brother said to him, Aaron could tell Jason was stunned by the news as Aaron sighed.

Aaron: The treatment is already expensive, If Dad doesn't get treated immediately, the disease might get worse and-

Jason: Aaron. . . I'll call you later. . .

Aaron: I'm sorry, Jason. . . .

Jason: It's okay. . . . Just give me some time.

Jason hung up the call as He stared at the sky and felt scared and worried for his father, He looked around before he walked away while thinking about what to do now.
