I accidentally summoned a Demon and I call him Fred

Alexander Count

The remaining days in class were basic subjects that I hoped to avoid. I wish I could say that my recent classes went smoothly and that everyone had moved on from what occurred in the cafeteria. However, the universe wasn't on my side today. Class D, the lowest rank in the school, was not over the fresh new gossip as they continued to obsess over the brief acknowledgment between me and Rei.

According to Jenna, the mere fact that Alex Count said my name added fuel to the fire. The idea that one guy can stir the school into a frenzy by remembering my name has to be a leader of some cult.

I didn't know anything about Alex and didn't want to know. I had always referred to him as the Giant and nothing else. He had the mysterious and annoyingly 'bad boy' appearance. With his creepy amber-colored eyes and the personality of a brick wall, I couldn't find him attractive enough for him to be glorified the way the students viewed him. He was very cold and unapproachable. In other words, he was the opposite of Rei.

This didn't matter to the Alex Count fan club. A club I thought could only be described in romance novels. The fan base was very real, and they were fierce. The ringleader of this pathetic group was, unsurprisingly, Sammy and Vanessa, who felt that they didn't get enough information out of me during lunch since we spent most of the time talking about spirit guides.

The answer they received was not to their liking despite their efforts in hounding me in between breaks during lectures. I don't say this often, but I really just wanted to listen and learn about the judicial system. But, instead of learning about the U.S. government, I learned everything I didn't need to know about Alex Count.

Alexander Count, whose name suspiciously sounds like a basic and overly used vampire Wattpad name, came from a long history of spiritual bloodline. Not only did his height and appearance make this guy the heartthrob for every girl in the school, but his family wealth also sure didn't help reduce his popularity.

There should be a rule in life where you can't be rich and pretty. It's not fair for poor and basic people like me who must work through life being ugly. After tuning in and out of listening to a lecture and Sammy's obsession over Alex, I found myself not remembering what assignment would be due or Alex's powerful spirit guide.

After class, I decided to head to Sandra's office and talk to her about the books and ways to ship stuff to my room. The halls were like a maze, and each corner led me to an unknown part of the school. I wished I had asked Jenna to come with me to find the office, but Fred's comment had gotten the best of me. Did she really hate me, or was Fred messing with me?

"Hey, MK, you should turn left," Fred said, suddenly wanting to help with directions. I raised an eyebrow knowing damn well he had never helped me with directions unless it was for his own amusement.

"Are you trying to trick me again into walking into the boy's bathroom?" I said out loud, seeing that nobody was near us. I am ashamed to say that it almost worked. If you have a constant demon on your shoulder talking to you non-stop, your brain starts to grow foggy and tired.

"Sandra's office is left, right down the hall," Fred promised, sounding genuine, but I wasn't born yesterday. He revealed himself from the shadows of the hall, floating beside me.

"I feel like you're lying," I said, eyeing him suspiciously. Fred twirled above me like a dark cloud, snickering under his breath. This stupid demon enjoyed my discomfort since I declared I was staying at Panorama. It was a no-brainer. He was getting even with me for not leaving when he wanted to.

I started to become suspicious of him as he flashed his Cheshire grin.

At first, I didn't understand why Fred was cackling in the shadows until I passed the corner of the hall. My body and face slammed into the chest of someone. I was able to save myself from falling by instantly grabbing the wall. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep my uniform as I quickly realized this person was carrying a box of cupcakes. My uniform was completely smeared with chocolate and vanilla frosting. The rest of the cupcakes tumbled out of the box from a tear on the side due to the collision.
