The next day, everyone was a walking zombie or well, at least I was. Once I sat with everyone to consume the first meal of the day, all I could see was how many glares I was getting from everyone in the room. <<Morning everyone!>> I said happily while sitting down at my place. <<So, did ya have fun at the party yesterday?>> A voice coming from someone sitting in front of me said. <<Huh, I see ya had plenty fun yesterday, didn't ya?!>> As I lifted my head up to see Mammon in front of me talking, Satan gave him a little nudge on his arm which made Mammon drop his chopsticks and curse as they fell into his bowl and got dirty. Suddenly silence fell in the room until a brilliant voice interrupted it: it was Asmodeus. Everyone looked away or tried to look busy eating as if they were trying to avoid something or, actually, someone. <<Good morning lovely brothers!>> He said smiling and sitting down between Levi and Belphie. I looked at him and blushed, remembering what happened the night before but what made me go back to reality was the way everybody was looking at both me and Asmo. Ignoring what I was witnessing at, I tried to act as if everything was normal and minded my own business. <<Levi, can you pass me that bowl please?>> I gently asked but in response, Levi faked not hearing me and I proceeded in asking him one more time. <<Okay, what is wrong with everyone today?>> I tried to ask with as much calmness I could. Suddenly everyone stopped eating and looked down, except for Lucifer who only sighed, which was quite usual actually but this time it felt different. <<Try not to be so loud next time, maybe.>> Satan said as he was standing up ready to leave for school, breakfast barely eaten. As soon as he left, everybody else did and even Beel tried avoiding me with a sad look on his face.

Still wondering what I did wrong and what happened to those brothers, I got ready to attend classes and for that day I was completely alone. No one of those demons I was living with accompanied me to school like any other day and I had to walk alone to school; not a big deal acutally. Getting lost in my thoughts, I didn't realise that Solomon was trying to catch up to me to walk together to school but as soon as I heard his voice calling my name three or two more times, I turned around to greet him. <<Good morning! Did you see the newspaper today?>> He asked me with an embarrassed tone in his voice and a weird expression. <<Wow, what a way to say "good morning" huh?>> As soon as I realised Solomon's face was serious, I stopped joking and I sighed. <<No, what's on the news today?>> I asked. He then handed me a copy of the newspaper and on the first page, the first article was talking about the huge party Lord Diavolo held the night before. <<What's so special about this article?>> I asked trying to read the whole paragraph. He barely looked at me and with his hand he made me understand I had to read the whole thing. I then looked at Solomon confused and he blushed. <<What the heck is this article saying?!>> In complete disbelief, I connected all of the dots and I realised why all of the brothers were looking at me that way this morning and also why Mammon was talking that way. The article was out in all Devildom and the thought that every single demon, ghosts or witches even, knew something that was partially wrong about me, made myself feel disgusted and mad at the same time. <<I did not...!>> I said trying to justify my actions but, deep down, I just knew that Solomon wasn't an idiot and knew it was true. I slapped a hand on my forehead and sighed really loud as I was concerned about rumours spreading all around. <<Let's be clear: I did go to bed with Asmo last night but why would people be interested in that? I clearly am not the only human here for this stupid exchange program and why would people like hearing about my sexual life!?>> I said almost yelling, forgetting I was in a public place. <<You know what? Forget about it and let's just go to school like nothing happened, I just know it's going to be a long day...>> Underlining that "long", we started going to school, hoping no one would've said anything about this whole situation.

Once at school, people started to look around and whisper something about me couldn't clearly hear every time I was passing by, which made me feel quite uncomfortable. Right when I arrived at school, someone called my name on the speaker from the principal's office and I could recognise that voice in a million: it was Diavolo's. <<Oh great...>> I soon did as I was told to and went in the principal's office where Diavolo and Lucifer were standing right in front of the door, waiting for someone to come inside. As soon as I opened the door, both of them were looking at me or, at least, were trying to. <<You might have heard what was on the news this morning, didn't you?>> Lord Diavolo didn't bother asking. Clearing his voice, Lucifer slightly blushed and crossed his arms in disapproval but still tried to look at me right in the eyes when talking to me. <<I don't have words to say, I hope you understand how to keep your private life separated from your social life.>> He paused and then said again <<You will be, as your punishment, next to me for the rest of the week!>> After those words, I was thrown out of the office, thinking about what Lucifer said. "It doesn't make sense, at all" was the thought that was occupying my mind the whole day at school.
