Ares listened for a while, Damien did have talent, but he wasn't going to be getting any praise unless he actually earned it. When the bell rang Ares stood from his desk and wandered over to the piano, quite literally pushing the piano bench back so that Damien could no longer reach and closing the top, before he leaned against the piano slightly so it couldn't be opened. "You're to join the rest of your class mates. If you say no, then i'll just make sure to guard the piano every single day so that you wont be playing the piano in school. And don't think i wont do it, I'm not afraid of a boy who uses someone else's power" He stated in a rather blunt tone, that business smile on his lips again.
Lilac eyes darted to the group of kids who walked in warily, knowing that Damien was probably seething with anger....though Ares' expression seemed to change the instant his gaze was turned to them. A kind smile replaced the cold smile he had given Damien and he looked.... like he were inviting the kids in without words. "Come get a chair and sit down. Damien isn't going to bite... I'm sure he can at least hold his temper" He voiced, knowing that he was just asking to be hit, but if Damien did hit him, he wasn't about to leave. Actually that'd probably make things for difficult for Damien rather than himself...

 Damien was enjoying himself actually but before that little smile of enjoyment could spread across his face he was pulled away from what he was playing. One thing he hated most was being interrupted in such a way. He glared up at the teacher for a moment before looking down at the keys...or where they once were. The other students came in talking in hushed voices and that began to irritate him more. He told himself over and over not to hit this guy and he didn't. All that Damien did was pick up his bag, stood up and headed for the door to get out of there before he really did wind up hitting the damn teacher.

Ares simply shrugged his shoulders "Alright Damien, but unlike the other teachers, i'm not afraid to fail you in this class. And that, is a permanent record" he stated as he sat down on the bench himself and looked at the class with a smile on his lips " Today, i wan't you to take the sheet on my desk and answer it's questions. I just want to see where all of you are in music, also, in the last column i'd like to know what instrument you play, or if you sing, put that down" He stated in a light tone, completely different from the...bored tone he used with Damien. "Alright, get to it then~" He chimed in a sing song voice as he pushed his hair out of his face, revealing both lilac hued orbs. He pulled a ponytail from his pocket and pulled his hair back, tying it back in a low ponytail as he watched the students get to work.

Damien pondered if it was possible for him to get away with murder. He may have seemed like a cold hearted person but even he never thought of such things. He shook his head and sighed, scorning himself from even asking such a question. He made his way up to the roof where he stayed until lunch. He was hungry by now and figured he would go and eat somewhere since school lunch was s**t and he was not going to eat that. Damien came down and walked past everyone, some whispering how the music teacher was not afraid of him and what not. All he did was throw them a cold glare and they would shut up and walk away. It irritated him greatly but he tried keeping his cool. Normally he could keep his temper but whenever he did show his anger it would be because he could no longer contained all the suppressed rage swirling about in his belly. When he got to the front door he didn't feel hungry any more and wondered off into the music room. Luckily the teacher wasn't there.
When the bell rang he left and went to his next class where he was asleep the whole period. All he wanted to do now was go home and sleep, play a little piano then go to sleep again. He had no appetite just like yesterday so the lack of food was giving him lack of energy. The bell rang at last and he made his way down the halls to leave the school since it was after school.
In the music room, Mr. Vellon would fine a piece of paper sicking out from the piano since it was hidden under the lid a bit and would only be found if Mr. Vellon went close enough to the piano. The folded paper was the assignment all the students had done and the name on the corner read: Damien. He had put the instrument he played most but there was a long list of instruments he could also play and he even included that he could sing with a side note in parenthesis: (keep that to yourself you rude b*****d). And all the way at the bottom he left a final comment.
I don't like you one bit but I won't let you fail me either p***k.

Ares was in the music room after school of course, and...well he had noticed the piece of paper shoved under the piano lid since the corner had been exposed. Lilac orbs wandered over the paper and slowly a smile spread onto his lips "Hmm, Not a bad kid, just stubborn" He mused as he read the last comment. Rather than getting angry he just chuckled and walked over to his desk, grabbing a piece of paper and sitting down to scroll in neat hand writing.
'Thank you for handing in the Assignment Damien. You may hate me, but i have nothing against you, keep up the good work.'
He then folded it up and slipped it under the piano cover, before he grabbed the case for his bag and walked out of the music room, shutting off the light and locking the door, knowing that Damien had a key of his own. Ares didn't take a bus or ride a car to the school, actually he lived quite close in one of the larger apartment buildings, so he walked to and from school...it was cost efficient and he got his exercise this way. The fact that Damien had actually handed in the paper, and the amount of instruments the boy could play pleased him to no end. "Maybe i'll go out tonight..." He murmured under his breath as he walked, golden locks still pulled back in a ponytail.

Damien walked past the music room to see the lights were off. He glanced around before unlocking the door and walking inside. He went over to the piano to see the paper still there and he figured that Mr. Vello either ignored it or was too damn blind to see it. Either way he pulled it out and was about to rip it when he simply opened it and read the teachers comment. His eye brows furrowed and he stood there a bit confused but soon he simply frowned and balled the piece of paper up and threw it in the trash. Was this guy trying to piss him off, who did he think he was trying to play mind games with him. This ******** was going down one way or another.
He locked the classroom back up and left the school. He truly didn't understand that Mr. Vello was actually being nice, it was just that Damien had never received a good comment on anything he did..ever in his life after his mom had passed away. He walked to the car and his drive drove off toward the house but instead he told him to drive around. He sighed heavily again and stared out of the window trying to get a grip.

Ares also had his violin bag slung over his shoulder, something he never left home without, and so he decided to pick a new spot in the rather large park and set his bags down, opening up the case and tuning his violin. After a few moments he began to play Clair de Lune, one of his favorite peaces to be perfectly honest. He didn't mind the people who stopped to listen, actually he enjoyed it and simply smiled softly as he continued to play, loving the sweet sounds his violin made. Ares was very...very talented when it came to the violin, which was probably one of the reasons the school had hired him so quickly, that and he knew he was the only person willing to take the job. The high school had a reputation, and it wasn't a good one...especially with the music teachers.

The crowd had gotten Damien's attention so he had the driver stop and he looked out the window to hear someone playing the violin..rather skillfully. He sat there for a moment listening and when the crowd moved a bit he saw that it was the music teacher. He didn't really do anything but simply have his window go back up and had his the driver continue on. Soon enough he was home and like always he went to his room and played the piano. It was no surprise that he didn't have friends...at least true friends that didn't just want him around for his money, good looks and publicity. Every day he was alone making him become so introverted so could you blame him for acting the way he did? Perhaps one can say he was acting out to get someones attention to get people to notice him and not just see him as a walking hundred dollar bill.
Again the night flew by and he was sitting in the music room again. This was the third day and his stomach grumbled but he ignored it. He sat at the piano playing it since the teacher wasn't there to stop him. For some reason he felt a lot worse then he normally did. Moments like these he craved for someone to talk to him and he hated it like he hated everyone in this damn school.

Ares played for a while longer, before he decided to head home, saying his goodbyes to the crowd. Once he got home he had a quick shower and simply headed to bed, knowing he had to be up early for work tomorrow.
The next day he got up and got dressed, wearing more casual clothes today, he didn't see the point of wearing a suit to school everyday, it was silly. Instead he worse a white shirt with black patterns on it. A white scarf was wrapped around his neck and he wore a pair of black slacks and black boots that almost reached to his knees. Ares himself didn't look much older than the students, though it was still obvious by the way he carried himself. Once he arrived at the school he instantly headed to the music room, opening the door in time to hear the grumbling of someones stomach. "You know, you should eat in the morning" He chimed as he walked inside, wandering over to his desk where he placed the violin case down on the table and his bag on the chair. Ares had already grown used to the fact that Damien got here early, and honestly he didn't mind at all.

Damien ignored him and continued to play until the bell rang he was temped to continue playing but he lacked the energy to even feel angry at the teacher knowing he would pull him away from the piano again. He got up with his bag and went all the way to the back where there was a chair and a table. He sat down and rested his head to take a nap during class though he was napping he could still hear everything so it was as if he was paying attention. The class had filed in and they were all surprised to see him there though he was napping it was still surprising since he never stayed in music class before. They all looked at Mr. Vellon figuring it was his doing and some actually began to feel less fearful of Damien. All their murmuring began to get on his nervous but he just didn't care at the moment.

Ares put up with the gossiping for a while, until it actually started to annoy him too, give the poor boy a break! no wonder he was so isolated. "Enough." He stated in a strict voice and everyone seemed to freeze up, he hadn't used that tone with them yet. "If you have time to gossip, then you have time to do a theory sheet i had planned for the end of the week." He stated in a very blunt manner, pointing to the sheets on his desk "Get one, and finish it." He added, watching as the kids groaned and trudged over to grab a paper. While they did that Ares walked over to his bag and pulled out a granola bar, it wasnt much...but still.....
Holding onto that he walked over to Damiens desk and placed the bar down next to his head "Ignore me if you want, but don't neglect yourself" He muttered softly, before he turned and returned to the front of the class, simply watching the now very unhappy kids do their work, but the gossiping had stopped.... They all felt a bit...guilty for upsetting their new music teacher whom they all seemed to be looking up to at the moment.

When all the students went up to get the paper he had told or threatened one of them to get him one too in secret though. When the teacher put the granola bar down he ignored him still and continued to "nap". Once the teachers back was turned the kid gave him the paper and so he put his head down and pretended to sleep more as he did his work in secret. The bell rang and some rushed to get it done while others gave up and went to their next classes. Damien, of course as the first one gone. He went to his next class yawning.
On the desk he sat at was the assignment all filled out and beneath it was the granola bar untouched. The back of the paper had another comment.
You're not my mother It even included an annoyed face that was drawn pretty well. That's how much time he had on his hands.

Ares watched as they all filed out when the bell rang, once they were gone he went around and picked up the papers, stopping to inspect Damien' with a smile. He flipped over the paper and read the comment, having to lift his other hand to stop himself from laughing at the picture he had drawn. After he calmed himself down he put the papers in a pile and began marking them, simply sitting behind his desk until the end of the day. By the time he was done his wrist was sore and he had stretched his arms out over the desk, his head resting on the wood as he stared at the wall across from him. "Hmmm..." He sighed, lilac eyes half lidded as he simply....sat there. He couldnt help but feel a bit worried, Damien had looked...sick, if that was the proper way to put it, or perhaps starved was a better word.

Damien didn't really know why he refused to eat. Was this another way for him to get someones attention? He no longer knew anymore and was simply lost in his own little sad world. He left his class and headed down the halls feeling woozy and sick since he had yet to eat anything. He knew that if he didn't eat anything he would either pass out or just throw up all over the place. Damien figured he should go eat so he walked down the steps and remembered that he had given his driver the day off today since the man wanted to go to his sons baseball game. As he walked down the side walk he had to stop and lean against a tree feeling himself become a bit weaker. How he craved something delicious at the moment.
This had to be the worst time to encounter the guys that came up to him. He stood up straight and looked at them. They were a group of rich kids like him who went to another school and they liked picking fights with Damien though Damien would always win despite it being three against one. This time it was just two of them and they saw that Damien didn't look too good. They began to bad mouth him and his dad and they were just pushing him buttons...or they thought thats what they were doing. Damien couldn't give a rats a** and pushed them aside as he continued to head somewhere where they sold food. Though, he stopped when the 'leader' decided to bad mouth his mother. Instantly his cold glare became a death glare as he turned, walked up to the boy and punched the living day lights out of him. The other guy began to defend his friend and it wasn't long until Damien was over powered from his lack of energy. His anger had helped him for a short period of time. The guys left and Damien sat under the tree wiping blood off his lips. He would have bruises all over his body since he managed to protect his face after the punch to the face. He shut his eyes, his energy drained from his body and he simply passed out there though truthfully it looked as if he were sleeping there.

Ares sat in the music room for a while, until he heard a couple kids walking past the room, they're voices low and.....quite proud about something. As Ares listened realization dawned on him and he shot up from his chair, stopping only to lock the door behind him and get a look at the boys, before he headed outside, a bit out of breath as the lilac eyes male let his gaze wander around the yard, stopping on the figure that lay under the tree closer to the side of the school. "i knew he had enemies...but this is just wrong" He muttered as he ran over to his student and knelt down "Damien?" He crooned softly, concern clear in his soft colored eyes.
He looked...absolutely horrid, and he could tell that Damien was completely out of energy... he knew the boy hadn't eaten for too long, but the question what, how long? At this point in time he didn't care if Damien lashed out to hit him, he simply reached forward and placed a hand on the males forehead, his frown deepening "You have a fever" he breathed softly, lifting his gaze to look for help, though it seemed everyone was gone... "I know you don't like me, but please cooperate with me, i don't live far and you need those wounds looked at, plus you need to eat and rest" He stated, his tone a little bit more forceful now, though it was still rather hushed.
