18 18.

Damien disappeared after that day. Its been about a week since Lucas last saw him. And if he dared to be honest with himself, he had been missing him. The schools were boring and the classes did not interest him anymore. Lucas would find himself sneaking a peek at Damien's desk in middle of lectures, imagining his head plopped over the desk and the mischievous eyes looking at his direction.

Lucas was concerned. Maybe something happened. Otherwise , why would that guy disappear ? Maybe Michael would know. But asking him would only mean that he thinks Damien is important.

A week, that's how long it has been, since Damien visited him in his dreams. In the dreams, Damien touched him, kissed him, hugged him and completed whatever they couldn't do it that day. Lucas did not like the way he felt. Their conversation was left incomplete and now Damien Disappeared. He need to know.

The bell rang indicating school was over. Lucas swiftly moved to Michael's side who was about to get up and leave.

"Hey Michael." Lucas said.

" Hi Lucas. I don't know anything more than you do."

"What?"

"Damien. Isn't that what you want to ask?"

"Uh.. No really. I just wanted to say Hi. Why would I want to know where he is ?"

"So you don't want to know whether he is okay?" Michael walked towards the door.

"Wait. What happened? Is he okay?"

"I said I don't know." Michael smirked.

Lucas could see the horns popping out of Michaels head. He walked right into his trap.

"Whatever." Lucas shrugged and moved ahead of Michael. If he stayed there anymore, he will walk further into the trap.

Michael caught upto him.

"Look I don't know what has happened to him but he is okay. He said he is out for a few days. And he will be back soon. And that's all I Know."

Lucas sighed. A sigh of relief.

Lucas resisted the temptation to ask Michael when Damien will be back. He doesn't want to be nosy or seem too desperate. A few days will be over soon . And he will be able to see Damien again.
