I accidentally summoned a Demon and I call him Fred

First year spirit Guide Ceremony part 2

The auditorium was filled with students wearing red jackets. The room was filled with the sound of lively conversations and laughter. It became impossible even to converse with Jenna, who was standing right next to me. The plan was to find Sammy among the crowd. However, I doubt that would happen soon. The middle of the auditorium looked like a mosh pit, with students clustered together as they tried to find their friends. Whoever was in charge of the ceremony was doing a shitty job organizing the event.

Everyone was completely lost and confused about what they should be doing. Some students voiced their opinions on forming a line before the stage. I couldn't even see a stage among the wave of students for a moment until a few taller boys moved to the back. The stage was gray with rows of black and white candles lined on opposite sides from each other. At least the stage had a hint of witchy and magical vibes despite the overly annoying fact that this was still a high school.

"Hello everyone! Sorry to keep you waiting, normally Headmaster John begins the ceremony, but he is currently away on an important business meeting, so yeah ..." Helen said into the microphone, her voice filled with nerves and possible sweat dripping from the side of her forehead.

'Have you figured out what vessel I'm going in?' Fred said, persisting to continue the conversation where we had left off about his temporary home. As childish and elementary as it may sound, I have been giving Fred the silent treatment from when we left my room.

"I would have been surprised that Headmaster John showed up to the ceremony," Jenna commented as the noise from the crowd began to dial down.

"I know many students have come to support their friends, but please sit on the sides or upstairs on the balcony. Thank you!" Helen continued, her voice echoing louder through the auditorium. The students began dispersing as they gave their younger classmates a hug or fist bumps. My eyes trailed at the students leaving as they walked up the steps to the balcony when suddenly their expression dropped, and they appeared utterly dumbfounded.

Following the direction the students were staring, my eyes landed on a familiar amber eyes with his chest leaning causally against the rail. Unlike the girls whispering how their hearts dropped looking at those gorgeous eyes, I promise mine did not. Rei jumped behind Alex, wrapping his arm around his friend's neck. He held a large grin while his soft brown eyes found mine. You have got to be fucken kidding me...

"Don't worry, Regina George is not with us!" Rei shouted, having no sense of embarrassment for himself or consideration of how I felt as the crowd continued to stare at him while tracking down the person he was speaking to. Well, they aren't going to find out...

"Uh, MK, I think Rei is talking to you. Hey, where are you going?" Jenna said, turning to find me already pushing past students.

"Bathroom," I answered, not bothering to look back. I was already irritated with everyone's constant glances and murmurs, trying to figure out who Rei was speaking to. Unfortunately, they didn't take long to put the pieces together from the last encounter.

'Ah, are you embarrassed in being the center of attention? Or maybe you actually have a school cru-'

'Do you want to be known as the demon who possesses Charmin brand toilet paper?'

'Got it...'

Arriving at the nearest girls' bathroom by the auditorium entrance, I finally caught my breath. My heart was beating rapidly like I had just run a 10k marathon. I leaned over with my hands clasping the edge of the sink, trying to steady my breath. The silence in the girl's bathroom almost felt like fresh air until it wasn't. The door swung open by a girl with a very sour face and dark blonde hair with brown eyes.
