I Am Not As Fine As I Seem (OPEN)

Nova came back from the store with goods in her hand and was about to open the door"What did I mi-" She immediately cut her sentence short when she saw Antoine on the ground in a fetal position near the door entrance, as if he was in an unbearable pain. She closed the door and saw that Thomas was next to him and they were talking and she went up to him to see if he needed help. "Are you okay?" She said while looking in his eyes to see any dilation. "You have this nasty rash on your arm."

Nova held out her hand for Antoine to take. "Here, let's get back in the apartment. Do you need some aspirin?"

"Ok, then, but if you need help I'm right inside." She walked to the door and before entering looked out one more time to Thomas and Antoine. "What happened while I was gone?"

Damien decided to return to the room where everyone else had been. He had finally calmed down enough that his face had returned to it's normal color, but his stomach was still full of butterflies.

Damien looked up as Thomas entered the apartment, noticing that he seemed to be avoiding looking at Damien. He looked down in response, a slight blush returning to his face as he nervously began tapping his pen on the table.

Nova slid into a chair next to Damien and took the pen out of his hands while fiddling with it. "Something definitely happened between you and Thomas while I was gone, so spill or you don't get your pen back."

"That's right, I was just helping him with his audition." Damien responded, holding out his hand. "Give me my pen back." He completely ignored Antoine, too focused on the conversation.

"Why does practicing for an audition cause both of you to look red." She leaned back in her chair, avoiding Damien's hand. "Wait a second, what play are you auditioning for?" Nova asked Thomas who was staring at Damien. "And what part?" She added.

"It doesn't matter." Damien muttered, reaching for his pen as his face slowly grew more and more red.

"Ah, ah. Just answer the question and you get your pen back." Nova got an idea of what they did but she just wanted to hear one of them say it out loud.

Damien glanced at Thomas, then sat back down. "You know what, I don't really need that pen." He hoped that his face didn't show that he was lying. He really needed something to fidget with.

"Alright then more for me, If you want your pen badly, you might as well just tell me what happened when I was gone or else I'm gonna have to ask someone else what happened, and I don't know, they might have evidence and stuff, and I don't think you want me seeing that." It was good old fashion blackmail but she really was really curious as to what was making Thomas and Antoine blush so much.

"Well, would you look at that." Nova took the phone and sent the picture to her phone. "There is only one thing I can say about this picture."

Damien buried his head in his hands to hide his red face. Mental Note: Slap Madison three times. Maybe replace her shampoo with glue.
