whispers in Minerva's ear Remember, darling, confidence is key. Walk like you own the place. smirks
CrystalLagoon
walks with confidence
Damon and Minerva make their way through the school hallways, leaving a trail of whispers and curious glances behind them. Damon's presence commands attention, and Minerva's newfound confidence draws admiring looks from their peers. However, not everyone is pleased with their budding relationship. A group of jealous exes and envious classmates plot to sabotage their happy ending. Damon and Minerva reach the school courtyard, where a group of students is gathered, whispering and pointing at them. Damon smirks and steps forward, addressing the crowd.
CrystalLagoon
nervous!
grinning Well, well, well, looks like we've got some interested parties here, folks. Gotta tell ya, this beauty beside me is off-limits.
CrystalLagoon
gulps
raises an eyebrow Now, I know some of you have history with her, but listen up, you losers. She's mine now, and if you value your life, you'll back off.
CrystalLagoon
looks at Damon
steps closer to Minerva, pulling her into his side Don't worry, darling, I've got your back. They won't know what hit them.
CrystalLagoon
looks at the crowd
smirks That's right, folks. She's with the bad boy now, and we're gonna make one hell of a team. You think you can compete?
