Damien felt heat rising into his cheeks, wanting to hide his face behind his notebook, or something. “My bad, yo,” he said, biting onto his bottom lip. Just his luck, he was catching this other boy on a bad day, it seemed. He really needed to stop being so...creepy.

His grip tightened onto his precious, very private notepad when he was asked about it, but he released a long sigh. “Just...sketches,” he answered and he turned the pad around to show him the drawing he was working on of the library with the shadowy figure of the other in front of the door. “I tend to draw my surroundings, buildings, stuff like that.”

He raised an eyebrow at the sight of the cigarette packet, but he decided not to comment on it. Instead, he was chuckling along, shrugging his shoulders. “Yeah, uhm...I’m pretty sure I’d be dead by now, since I kinda wander around campus every other night. Also, that kid probably had good reason to beat up someone else like that. I mean, I would’ve if I was protecting someone, or getting bullied. Sometimes shit happens like that, y’know?”

Cam had to squint to try and see the figure, even in the light. His eyes still hadn’t adjusted well, and the white of the lamp just kind of blurred everything into an indistinct blob. Nevertheless, he held his posture and gaze as casual and contemplating as ever.

He nodded thoughtfully at the response, biting at his lip as he considered the situation. He likely wasn’t in any danger, unless the notepad had some kind of ability to transform into a flaming ball of death. Still, his suspicious nature didn’t quite allow him to believe the boy.

He walked down the rest of the steps, shaking his head and giving a small smirk. “Not scared. Just curious. Big difference.” He stopped a few feet in front of him, hands tucked in his jacket pockets. “What’s on the paper?” He said, his voice casual, though it carried an obvious hint of caution.

“You know, you really shouldn’t be out here this late. There’s a killer out. Not to mention, that psycho kid might beat you into a hospital.” He said the last bit with a chuckle as he chased a pack of Camels out of his pocket, pulling one out and lighting it. “I’d be more careful if I were you. You might get caught up in a messy situation.”

Damien didn’t mean to be creepy, really. He was just so quiet that not a lot of people took notice of him, which meant that he was able to sneak around the school grounds with ease. He even startled people sometimes, when he would quietly show up. His best friend--or, former best friend--used to joke with him about how he should start wearing a bell whenever he was out in public. He was that stealthy.

It also meant being on his own for most of the time. It wasn’t like he minded--with his paper and colored pencils, he enjoyed people-watching and drawing whatever he saw. For instance, he was sitting by the library entrance late at night at the moment, taking in the peace and quiet of the dark while using the street lamps as his only source of light. He was sketching out the library building itself, finding the structure quite amazing when he noticed a figure walking out and locking up.

He couldn’t tell who it was, but that didn’t stop Damien from quickly adding the figure into his sketch. Once the said figure turned around, however, it had him stop for a second to take in his appearance. Oh. How was it possible for this school to have so many good-looking people?

He was trying to catch his breath when the other boy started speaking, and he jolted a bit from being startled, nearly dropping his notepad and pencils. “I-I come in peace!” he said quickly, getting up so that the other could clearly see him, clutching his notepad close to his chest. “S-sorry, I--uhm, I didn’t mean to scare you. Honest.”

Cam sighed as he fumbled with the key, struggling to turn the old lock on the large wooden door. His whole closing-down-the-library thing had started about a week ago, when the custodian, tired of waiting for him to leave before locking up, had just thrown a set of keys at him and told him to make sure he turned off everything when he left. Cam was pretty sure it was completely against school policy, but he didn’t really care. It just meant he could stay in the library, amongst the encyclopedias and computers, as long as he wanted, with no one else to bother him.

He finally managed to turn the lock, spinning the ring around his finger as he hurried down the marble steps. Something made him stop, though. He couldn’t quite name what it was, at first, but then he recognized it. It was that small tingle down you spine when you feel someone’s eyes on you. He wasn’t alone anymore. Someone was watching him. He scanned his surroundings carefully, taking in every detail and processing it, before spotting a dark shadow not far from the end of the steps.

“You should probably come out,” he called, not a single hint of caution in his voice. He didn’t scare easily. Fear only clouded judgement. “Seriously. Unless you want to find out for yourself exactly how right the hitlist was, I’d come on into the light so I can see you.”

is that NOAH CENTINEO roaming the halls of eastwood university? no, turns out it’s just DAMIEN ROSE, the TWENTY-ONE year-old FRESHMAN ART student. if you ask me, he is TRUSTWORTHY and IMAGINATIVE, but he can be SELF-CRITICAL and TIMID. it makes sense people call him the RUNAWAY.

ayoooo it’s b comin’ at u again with yet another babe!! feel free to hmu to plot!

damien rose was born & raised in hartford, connecticut

he was adopted into a rather wealthy family (the father was a news anchor, the mother was a surgeon, & their only daughter was living out of state to work in the fashion business)

he never got to know his bio family since he was given up when he was just a baby

he actually didn't mind never getting to know them, but he did wonder why he was given up & became insecure about it

unlike the rest of his family, damien was rather artistic & creative rather than business-like

he loved to paint & draw since he was a kid, getting his hands dirty and creating new things

he was also a very quiet & shy child, keeping to himself at school and never really making any friends

but of course, it led to bullying & being called the "weird" kid

he never told his parents what was happening, though, thinking that it would only make things worse

during sophomore year of high school, he met new kid who was in his art class and they were assigned partners for a particular project

they got along really well, & soon enough they became close friends

this was when damien started questioning his sexuality, as he started to develop romantic feelings for his friend

by the end of the year, he decided to confess his feelings, only to be rejected

the next day, everyone apparently knew that damien was gay & word even got to his parents

they didn't exactly react, but damien could see that they were possibly disappointed

damien then decided to call his sister to tell her, & luckily she was supportive and loving

despite the increased bullying, damien stayed in school & kept his head down, wanting to graduate with good grades so that he could move out

sometime during senior year, one of his bullies had confessed his love for him, which definitely surprised damien

the bully then tried to kiss him when they were alone in the hallway one day, but damien pushed him away a few times before he was able to run away

it was the last time the bully even spoke to him, but false rumors & gossip spread throughout the school about damien coming on to him & their teachers

unfortunately, when he told his parents what was happening, they told him to just "get over it" & "high school will be over soon"

damien was upset that he had failed them & it was clear that they gave up on him

after finally graduating, his sister was visiting & this was when she decided to tell him some life-changing news

she was his bio mother

she had gotten pregnant really young, & failing her parents, she left him for them to raise so that she could get her life back together

confused, upset, angry, & heartbroken, damien had snapped, unable to take it

about a month later, damien packed his things & moved out

he was already 18 & he got accepted to eastwood

except, he had to work for a couple of years so that he could save money to actually attend

so he got a crappy studio apartment, working as a barista, bag boy, & he constantly picked up some jobs like babysitting & running errands for elders

currently, he is a freshman art student, working at the bookstore

he still hasn't spoken to his family
