Mr. Henderson: and remember on Wednesday is the winter ball for all Eden students in year 11. Have an elegant evening.

Becky and Anya were walking to lunch. Becky was squealing with excitement.

Becky: I am so excited! I have been planning all year for this!! I heard it is an elegant venu! And it is filled with flowers and-
Anya: woah, Becky slow your roll!
Becky: anyways, who are you going with?
Anya: I think you already know.
Becky: right... The Desmond boy.

Anya chuckled.
Meanwhile, with Damian, Emile and Ewin.

Emile: I am sure looking forward to the winter ball!
Ewin: me too!
Emile: I am sure Damian Sama is also excited. I bet he will get a lot of girls asking him out!

Damian looked at them with a stabbing gaze.

Ewin: uh... Sure but he is going with stubby- I mean Anya...
Damian: you can stop talking.
Ewin & Emile: yes boss!

As expected many girls came up to Damian.

Damian: I am sorry... I am going with someone else.
Marley: oh... That is alright.
Damian: but I have a friend of mine who would love to go with you.

You see Emile got rid of the bowl cut and lost weight. Ewin did not have the ridiculous hairstyle anymore. So you could say this boosted their looks.
However, in Becky's eys they will always be pigs. Not because of their looks but because of their personality.

Damian: this is Emile. He wanted to ask you but you asked me.

Damian knew he had liked her for a awhile.

Marley: he is alright too. Looking forward to seeing you at the ball.

She walked away.

Emile: thank you bossman!

When they got to the cafeteria Damian came up to Anya.

Damian: hey.

Anya greeted Damian with a hug.

Anya: yes I would love to go!
Damian: how did you?-
Anya:  sy-on boy you are too predictable...

Damian blushed.

Anya: come on!

Damian had finished ordering his food.

Damian: I'll wait for you at the table.

Once she had ordered, she was walking to her table when she spotted someone who was not an imperial Scholar.

Anya: hey you! What are you doing in the imperial scholar cafeteria? You know there are rules!
Nelson: I was looking for you... I also forgot my cape at home.
Anya: I know everyone who is an imperial scholar! You don't belong here. Besides who would forget their cape?
Nelson: fine you caught me... Man it is lavish in here. Anyway you wanna go to the ball with me?
Anya: no, I am already going with someone else.
Nelson: so what. You can cancel on them and go with the most popular guy in school.
Anya: You are only good looking... Good for you.

She was walking away when he grabbed her arm making her drop her food.

Nelson: you will go with me!
Anya: No I won't! Not with a narcissit. Let go of me.

Nelson: I need her to go with me so I can become more popular. She is an imperial scholar and a Telepath after all.

Anya: I punched a boy and sent him flying on the first day of school. I am not afraid to do it again.

She pulled her arm away from him.

Nelson: yeah, yeah. We get it you are so strong. You have no choice.
Anya: I will not! Not in a million years!

He was got irritated and he was a about to slap her.
Suddenly he felt a tight grip on his wrist.

Damian: get the hell away from her...
Nelson: you-
Damian: she told you no multiple times... Take a hint...
Nelson: let go off me-

He let go of his hand. Damian grabbed her waist and pulled her in.

Damian: when she said she is going with somone elso she meant me...

Mr. Henderson came up to Nelson.

Mr. Henderson: what are you doing here. Mr. Nelson?
Nelson: uhh-
Damian: sir he harrassed Anya.
Mr. Henderson: is that so?
Nelson: he is lying.
Mr. Henderson: Miss Forger, is this true.

Anya was staring blankly back at him.

Anya: yes...
Mr. Henderson: utterly inelegant. 3 tontirus bolts to you. See me after school. Forget about going to the ball.
Nelson: but-
Mr. Henderso: get out before a give you a fourth.

Nelson hurriedly left the hall.

Mr. Henderson: he won't bother you again Miss. Forger.

He walked away. Damian turned to Anya.

Damian: Anya... Are you alright.

Anya burst into tears.

Damian: hey its alright! I am here!
Anya: he almost hurt me-

Damian held her and calmed her down.

Anya broke down not because of the jerk. But because of past unpleasant experiences.

Flashback...

Scientist: you have to take the injection!
Anya: Anya doesn't want to!
Scientist: you have no choice!
Anya: no! Not in a million years.

She was crying.
The cruel Scientist slapped her hard.

Scientist: you don't want to end up like your parents do you?
Anya: no!
Scientist: then take the injection...

At least she does not have to relive that nightmare again...
